"Great suburban hotel"
We arrived very late on Thanksgiving weekend. The Bell staff was short-staffed so i had to unload and shlep in 6 bags myself. Grrrr. Otherwise, perfect accommodations as usual for the Hilton Brand.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

Hotel was just okay..not as good as I remember. The pool and hot tub are great but on a Saturday morning, we were woken up by room service knocking and then starting to come in!

"Needed a nice spot in northern N.J."
We needed a place to spend one night in the New York suburban area after flying into JFK from Europe as we were driving home to the Carolinas the next day and wanted to avoid going into NYC. This Hilton was an easy 45 minute drive from JFK and was the desirable option of we did not want to go into the city. Good restaurants nearby and very nice accommodations […] although fairly generic.

"Convenient and comfortable"
I stayed at the Hilton Short Hills while attending a two day seminar a few miles away. I specifically requested no feather bedding, and the staff at check-in assured me that the "room had been totally de-feathered." The room was lovely, the location was convenient, and walking across the street to the mall was a breeze. Exiting the parking garage was […] a little confusing--thank goodness for the rental car company guy who told me to go up two levels to get out--but I was able to get a great parking spot both nights. I would stay there again. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Not, But Could be Great"
While on the face of it the Short Hills Hilton is a first class property, there are glaring service deficiencies which prevent it from achieving a high rating. First, the Front Desk, key to any guest's experience with a hotel, is weak...no, actually, it's offensive. I was greeted by an indifferent clerk who seemed keen to mumble through a standard greeting […] while looking down into a computer. Repeated requests to have the clerk re-state a question were ignored or mumbled again. My checkout...with the same clerk...was equally disappointing and confusing (oh, and we forgot to add another night's valet parking on the bill we presented you last night, so, here it is now). Then the Valet parking attendant had mysteriously disappeared and the front desk clerk misstated that he was retrieving another vehicle (he was not - he was on a break and hadn't told anyone). Okay, not exactly criminal offenses...but not what one expects from a first rate hotel. Next, the room, while quite attractive, missed the mark - the room bar was empty and the bathroom had mold atop the marble surround of the tub. This could be a great hotel...and, actually, once was. But it is in decline. It is in need of some top management attention and real professionals whenever the staff interfaces with guests. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

Very well kept lobby and conference area. Exercise facility and spa were outstanding. We were very disappointed in the quality of our room.

The way this hotel advertises itself is very misleading. It is supposed to be a hotel/spa resort and conference center, but... The hotel itself was nice, but nothing all that special. The pictures of the indoor pool on their website as compared to the actual were disappointing. The pool was very cool in temperature and while the hot tub was hot, it […] was kind of slimy. The poolside drinks were very expensive and a real joke! Our mojitos only had a few mint leaves and no discernable alcohol whatsoever!! The outdoor pool was nice, but a little small and full of kids screaming (but of course, that's to be expected). The terrace around the outdoor pool had nothing special and the chairs weren't all that comfortable. The spa was way overpriced ($40 for a pedicure, much less the $120+ for an hour massage).

"Obnoxious Porter set the tone..."
The price of the hotel was a bit high. As a frequent traveler I have a lot of experience staying at hotels and initially impressions can set the tone of a hotel. Upon arriving at the hotel, I parked the car in front of the hotel with my spouse waiting in the car. The Porter asked me if someone was in the car in case it had to be moved. I went in to […] check-in which was a very quick and efficient process. Even with 3 people in line ahead of me I was checked in and returned to the car under 5 minutes. Returning to my car, I found my souse out of the car in a heated exchange with one of the Porters. It seem, they were in a loud and condensing tone telling them to move the car away for arriving guests. they were concerned they were losing business from taking luggage from other arriving guests. Of which none had arrived since we got there. Up to that point I would have used the Porter but he was so unprofessional, my partner refused to give him the business. Also, this set the tone for our whole experience there. Also, preparing for dinner, our bathroom had no water pressure in the shower and no shower mat. We had to call Room Service to have these issues fixed for our morning shower. For the price of the hotel, we had higher expectations. on a positive note, other than the porter, everyone one else was great. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai

We stayed for one night while visiting relatives for Christmas.

We also had a minor issue with the showerhead. The hotel is lovely, modern and the staff quite nice and friendly. Hotel is right across […] the street from an upscale mall but otherwise in the middle of nowhere. Rooms were very nice, bed very comfy, would stay there again. There was plenty of parking available at the hotel and we were not charged, perhaps due to the fact that the place was 90% empty. I'm guessing this is primarily a hotel for the local corporations and on this night, a professional basketball team! Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"Great hotel, but isolated"
I can't fault anything with regard to the hotel or the staff, who were exceptionally friendly and efficient. However, the hotel is isolated and you need transport. The only place within walking distance is the huge mall across the road (and we took our lives in our hands crossing the road, as the crossing marker wasn't working...). If available, the […] hotel car is only $15 to nearby locations, which is very reasonable. However, on my return to this area I'll be booking somewhere within a town, probably nearby Livingston. I'm not American and not a fan of malls - I'd prefer to wander around shops and cafes that are outside, not malls which are insulated from the outdoors!

An Epic in the Making
from Gene Edward Veith Dec 09, 2008 Category: Articles
The theme of this month's Tabletalk is Paradise Lost, which is the title of what most critics would agree is the greatest poem in the English language. John Milton (whose 400th birthday we celebrate today on December 9) was an English puritan revolutionary who helped overthrow King Charles I but whose hopes for a free republic were dashed with the restoration of the monarchy. Narrowly avoiding the death penalty, Milton lost everything. His first marriage was unhappy. After his wife died, he married again, only to have her die in childbirth. He also went blind. In his enforced leisure, Milton, trying to justify the ways of God to himself, turned to Scripture and began an epic meditation on the fall, imagining as no one had done before or since what Eden must have been like, why Satan hates us so, why Eve and Adam ate the fruit, and how the Son of God restores us to a "paradise regained."

The Priorities of Preaching
from Albert Mohler Dec 07, 2008 Category: Articles
Sometimes it happens that preaching the Word is met with antipathy and resistance. Why? Because "the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb. 4:12a). And as the Lord spoke to His prophet Isaiah, "[My Word] will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire" (55:11b). Sometimes this means that God uses the Word to rebuke and correct His people. And it is the preacher who must speak that word and reap the response. Sometimes preachers are ejected and fired. That is simply one of the realities of pulpit ministry. Keep Reading -

Camel Browse
4 March 2005
Camels are browse eaters, so to give them as much natural food as possible, we have to go out every day and cut fresh browse. Teela and DJ are very fussy at times, not like the camels out in the wild that would eat whatever is available around them.Our girls favourite tree would have to be the umbrella tree, they get it as a treat maybe once a week, and you see them almost drooling over it as you bring it out. They usually eat all of it, but occasionally they will leave a half eaten stick.
Some other species we cut for them are fig, acacia and lychee. They get fed browse morning and night. Our girls have it easy, fresh browse brought to them, hand fed pellets from the public, and Teela gets heaps of pats and kisses daily.
What more could a camel ask for?

New WA State Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill
Washington Governor to Sign Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill Into Law on April 18, 2011
Anyone who has ever tried to license a homebuilt car knows how difficult it can be to title and register it. Not only is the process lengthy, it's frustratingly arduous. But all that is about to change.
On Monday, April 18, Washington Governor Chris Gregoire will sign into law Senate Bill 5585, which will enact new classifications for custom vehicles, street rods, hot rods, kit cars, replicas, etc.
According to State Senator Michael Carrell, sponsor of the bill (and collector, restorer, and avid car enthusiast in his own right), the new classifications will help streamline the registering and titling process, making it faster and a whole lot easier to take that creation of yours to the street.
"If someone puts a 2009 Ford engine in the body of a 1949 Ford Coupe," says Senator Carrell in a written press release, "there shouldn't be any confusion about how to legally license the vehicle. Moreover, if someone builds a car from the ground up from scrap parts, aftermarket items or custom-manufactured pieces, it could be classified any number of different ways. The new law will establish constancy, and clarify previously unclear registration requirements."
Classifications will break down as follows: Altered vehicles manufactured before 1949 will be categorized as street rods, and altered vehicles at least 30 years old and manufactured after 1948 will be categorized as customs. Kit cars and replica vehicles will be assigned certificates of title bearing the same model years as the production vehicles they most closely resemble.
The law will also acknowledge that original parts may no longer be available, and that technological advancements have created improved materials. It will allow for the use of non-original components and will create a titling criterion that assigns these vehicles the same model year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.
Further, the law will exempt street rods and customs from a range of standard equipment requirements and emissions inspections; vehicles in this class will be held to standards applicable to the designated model year. Finally, the use of "blue dot" taillights will be permitted, a favorite among restorers of classic automobiles.

Wow...that's great news....for ONCE something is going our way
Thanks for keeping us informed!
LeeThis Hudson project is starting to scare the crud out of me!!! -
Thanks, Sarah, for keeping on top of this for us.
I hope this doesn't make any changes in what is probably the most lenient old car licensing procedure in the country. Buy a "year of manufacture" plate (only need one), register your car for a one time fee of $25, and that's it, forever! And the best part is, you're not limited to parades, events, rod runs, etc.- can also use the vehicle for "pleasure driving", as well. -
We all have SEMA and their SAN to thank for this legislation. They are pushing similiar bills all across the country. If you haven't joined the SEMA Action Network, do it. You get emails from them regarding the govt's actions for and against the hobby, and the email addresses of the legislators you need to thank and the ones you need to ask for more support.1953 Hornet sedan Twin-H

Buy a "year of manufacture" plate (only need one), register your car for a one time fee of $25, and that's it, forever! And the best part is, you're not limited to parades, events, rod runs, etc.- can also use the vehicle for "pleasure driving", as well.
Mike, We passed the same bill here in Utah and it was the draft legislation that SEMA provided and we did some minor modifications. As an thought, our bill makes antique cars exempt from inspection, amd such but does need to be renewed yearly. It is a ten buck fee. The "Year of Manufacture" plate is the same and does require yearly renewal. Other clasifications have different fees. By the way, the HET is now publishing a monthly article on old car legislation. Some good articles there--watch for mine in a soon to be released issue...Brownie -
We bought a "Collector Vehicle" license plate for our Jet and have been happy with that decision. We haven't been able to put as many miles on it yet as we'd hoped, but have still enjoyed a couple lunch outings with it besides the couple car shows we've taken it to. I know they were recently trying to re-establish a fee for those plates as well and that idea got vetoed.
I don't have any "modified car" projects, but know a lot of hot rodders who've met some challenge with licensing their cars. I'm glad to hear the state's recognizing a much needed process improvement for those creative individuals and streamlining paperwork. I've seen cars that have been changed drastically but maintained their registration all along and slip through the safety net allowing unsafe vehicles to be on the street. I hope that changing laws encourage the renegades out there to comply with standards and make safety changes that could make a difference between life and death.Take a Ride in a Hudson Jet! -
Another word to the wise on "rebuilding" a car- be sure you get a Bill of Sale for any parts you buy that are bigger than a bolt or clip. My nephew is a body man, works in a BMW place. He buys many salvage cars, takes off the usable parts and either sells or uses them to rebuild "total loss" cars (many of which are fine, its just that there are too many parts to replace to be economically feasible). Unfortunately, early on, did not insist on getting a Bill of Sale when he bought salvage cars.
He re-did a front-end total, and ended up without bills of sale for one fender and the hood. State Patrol would not approve it for license. He finally had to order replacements from China- didn't fit, looked awful- but he had bills of sale. Got it licensed, then put the good parts back on, threw the Chinese junk on the scrapper pile.
BTW, he sold this particular car to his dad. Several months later, some idiot ran a red light and totalled it (again)- this time, for good.

Search Engine Optimization – cont'd
The SEO Campaign Process
A typical SEO campaign starts with keyword analysis, and then emphasizes
insuring your site doesn't impede search engine bots and follows
up with ongoing link and traffic analysis. If you like pretty pictures,
here's one:
What's a Bot?
A 'bot'
is a program used by a search engine to read the content
of your site into a directory. I mentioned this briefly
in 'What is Search Engine Optimization?'
above. Keep up, now….
Step 1: Keyword Analysis. Ah, keywords.
If you say the right word enough times on your site, you'll
get that coveted #1 spot, right? Wrong. Choosing the right keywords
starts with you making a list of the keywords or phrases under
which you'd like to be found, and typically ends up somewhere
completely different. Typically, selecting the best keywords is
a four-step process:
- List the keywords and phrases under which you'd
like to be found. - Find out whether anyone searches on those keywords,
and whether they're searching for relevant items. - Find out how many other sites are struggling
for rankings under those keywords. - Pick keywords with the same meaning but a better
search-to-competition ratio.
Maybe I want to rank #1 under 'Search Engine Optimization'.
Guess what? There are 686,000 other URLs in Google trying for that
spot. Hmmm. But wait! Under 'Seattle Search Engine Optimization'
there are only 19,000. So, I targeted that key phrase, instead.
And guess what? We got a #3 ranking.
Don't forget about relevance, either. If you want a high ranking
under 'tires', you're going to have your work
cut out for you. And in the end you'll likely end up getting
found for 'bicycle tires', 'automobile tires',
'spare tires' and who knows what else. Is it worth it?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But you have to do your homework to
find out.
Data Mining and Keywords
If you're doing a campaign
for a large site, you may end up testing and comparing
thousands of keywords and phrases. Having a good data-mining
tool (even Excel will do) on hand is important when
you're doing keyword analysis. We use S-Plus,
by Insightful Software. It's saved our lives,
and clicker fingers, several times.
There are several tools that help you research the
number of searches and competitors for keywords. Wordtracker (http://www.wordtracker.com)
is a good one — don't depend on their results from
Overture, though, unless you're specifically preparing an
Overture campaign. Metacrawler's MetaSpy tool is worth a
look, too. Ideally, look at results from a few different sources.
Keyword analysis is the hardest part of a campaign, in number-crunching
terms. It requires a lot of work and may not tell you what you
want to hear. But in my experience it's critical to a successful
Step 2: Search Engine Readiness.
Almost every web site we review has one or more problems that
will prevent search engine bots from properly reading all content.
Typical showstoppers include:
- An all-Flash or all-images home page
- A home page that automatically redirects to
another page - Pop-up ads (does anyone really read these things?)
- A site full of pages with fewer than 400 words
on a page - Broken links
- Navigation that is generated by JavaScript
- No TITLE or DESCRIPTION tags
A major step in any SEO campaign is making sure that the site will
present the friendliest profile to search engines. Happily, the
investment in optimizing will also pay off in a faster, more universally
compatible site.
Step 3. Content and Site Preparation. You've done
your research: You know which keywords match your message, and your
site's HTML code is one big search engine welcome mat. Now
it's time to make sure that your site contains those keywords.
This is where I most often see folks get confused — should
you rewrite your web content to emphasize keywords? Yes, but with
extreme caution. Should you make small, appropriate changes? Yes.
Here are my guidelines for content preparation.
- Don't write for keywords (much). This almost always leads
to stilted, hard-to-read prose. Writing keyword-rich content that
really works for users is an art form. Be careful. - Do a little careful editing. If you use the word 'car'
but 'auto' is the keyword you need, chances are you
can do a few replacements without marring your carefully crafted
copy. - Spend time on the titles and description tags. Make sure every
page in your site has a unique, relevant TITLE and DESCRIPTION
tag. - Never use an automatic page generator. Tools like WebPosition
Gold offer to generate optimized pages for you. Don't. They
tend to hurt your ranking as much as help, and they generate ugly,
ugly pages. - Write more stuff. More content is almost always better. If your
site is just missing a specific keyword or phrase, but you think
it's important, then your potential customers probably do
too. By adding a few more pages, or a white paper, or some other
content focusing on those absent keywords, you'll likely
help visitors and improve your keyword ranking at the same time.
And, the more text-rich your site is, the better the odds that
you'll catch longer, stranger but really important key phrases
that you can't anticipate.

Can all the heroes be made out of their icons? FIND OUT!
I wonder when America and the Middle-East will realise that the rest of the world finds their religious antics as hilarious. Hint to America, most of us gave up on Religion a long time ago, namely when we found out that it tends to breed corruption, conservatism and just plain old silly ideas. Ohh it also leads to a lot of pedophiles
Its Hammertime
This is me caring.
The Hunter- an original ganker/initiator.
This is true, but there is actually NOTHING on the rifles themselves. It was only ever on certain scopes used only by Rangers and SF. There were a few articles about this in the Army times but its not really a big deal. We still use the same scopes today as far as I know, it didn't affect their contract with the Pentagon.
Wow, you like to make generalizations don't you? A few bad eggs must mean that everyone that follows a religion is a corrupt conservative who is a pedophile.
Besides, what's so bad about being conservative? People are trying to preserve their values, just because YOU don't personally follow those values doesn't mean you shouldn't respect the values of others. So just because your an atheist who thinks that everyone who doesn't think as you do is a moron doesn't mean that you need to spit on just about everyone on this planet who decided to follow a religion.
I've been Catholic all of my life and have NEVER been approached or had sexual advances made on me by anyone in the church. A few bad eggs and suddenly all priests are pedophiles. There are many retards out there that believe any type of hype that they can. Most of these nonconformists retards conform exactly to the beliefs of their nonconformist brethren. LOL. They ARE conformists - it's age old...almost a cliche.
This is immediately relevant.
Atheism isn't the counterculture anymore. It hasn't been for ten years. If you want to be "edgy" (aka a ****ing tool), might I suggest something else.
I'm an Atheist btw. I really can't stand atheists that actively bash religious folk though, as much as I can't stand religious folk bash other religion/atheists.
Religion is(or at least, should be) a personal belief, and that should be respected. And for many people, god(s) do(es) help them in their lives, that is an irrefutable fact. The only thing that can be debated is whether (the) God(s) helps them physically through divine intervention or divine communication, or whether "god(s)" give them the inspiration and hope they need to help themselves

Stem Cells, Wellness and Claims Substantiation Take Center Stage at IFSCC Congress
By: Rachel L. Grabenhofer
Posted: October 24, 2012
Photo Galleries
The 2012 International Federation of the Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) Congress, held Oct. 15-18, 2012 in Johannesburg, South Africa, opened with a frenzy—the "African Frenzy" dancers, that is. Performers in traditional tribal dress drummed, stomped and chanted native songs of various Africa cultures, representing the beauty and diversity of the continent. Similarly, the opening ceremony keynote lecture by Aubrey Parsons of AP Consulting provided an overview of research under way examining the diversity of sub-Saharan and South African botanicals. For example, the fruit of Kigela africana, or "sausage tree," has been shown to have high flavonoid and coumarin content as well as anti-inflammatory benefits, among others.
Rooibos has extensively been shown to exhibit various benefits. "It's the new 'white tea' for skin and hair," said Parsons, "and in China, the market for it has grown significantly." Also, honey bush, or "cancer bush," is an African extremophile with the ability to heal burns and wounds, and soothe irritation. Buchu (Barosma betulina) leaf extract is chemically related to onion and garlic, and Parsons noted its chemistry is an interesting proposition to replace these flavor oils at a lower cost.
The outer shell or seed coating of the Ubuntu baobab is being examined as a new source for vanillin, which Parsons explained is especially exciting for the fragrance industry. Also within the Ubuntu family, mafura appears to have specific antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, whereas ximenia is interesting for a multitude of benefits. "There is much research going on here," said Parsons.
Interest continues in the Barbadensis family, notably Aloe vera and feroux; in fact, this interest has led to the formation of the Aloe Council. Finally, tocotrienols are "literally changing the face of the personal care industry," remarked Parsons, "and interest in them is still growing."
Beyond an overview of phytochemical research, Parsons called out marketers who make outlandish product claims, undermining the credibility of the personal care industry. "I don't know how they get away with it," he said, illustrating advertisements in Africa and Indonesian media. One in particular claimed to "drive HIV from the body."

Stream works fine Norman
Stream works fine Norman
I can't get any channels on TVU...are you having the same problem?
Not your problem, TVU can't handle the load and many people it seems ;(
Same issue as sopcast but then completely down. We need to wait untill it get's solved.
thanks admin
i have sopcast and tvants, but was thinking of downloading tvu to increase my options, but i was wondering if it is any good?
i have windows vista.
any opinions from people who have it would be great, is it worth installing?
Its a very good application very stable, depending on streams, what sport your after? tvu has quite a lot of football streams which are good
Sopcast,TVU and TVAnts are worth installing
you like CBS? Star Sports? Fox Soccer Channel? Speed (Motorsports Channel) MMATV, GolTV and also private streamers like Danish Delight and VP5 sometimes
usually its a good program
thanks for the advice, its mainly for football but i like all sports (except synchronised swimming ). i think i will give it a go.....
I agree with the other posters. When tvu works it is very stable and has lots of channels.
If its football your into may I suggest when you watch a soccer channel you add it to your tvu favouries as I do. The reason for this is sometimes channels are only on now and then so its easier to check your favourites thhan trawl through all the channels.
F.S.C. (fox soccer channel) s always on tvu (called simply - soccer) and also gol tv (football) - 2 fantastic channels which blow sky sports out the water if its footy you want!
is tvu dont work my says starting program
aand wont play with vista
Works fine today...
TVU is beginning to disconnect my internet conection whenever I start it. I have to use the repair option in my network setup to get it to work again. So is anyone else experiencing this, and is there a way to fix it?
It probably uses your internet connection 99% so you get the best picture and smooth stream. You're sure you haven't got any other p2p programs running, like torrents, downloads or other stuff? If you've got, please close them first.
close all p2p programs and restart it... maybe as admin say their use 99% of your connection.
Also here sometimes happens this.
I received a message from TVU to upgrade it. Now every time I click to open TVU, it opens for about 2 seconds then quits.
It worked ok before the upgrade. I have made sure no other programs are running as you advised Admin.
Hm strange issue. Maybe try installing the older version again
for me the player crashes at least 10 times during a football match. I have experienced this just lately with the new version. I will install some older version and report back if it still keeps crashing.
I've not been on my windows distribution yet so I couldn't test it, but does it still crash then umutk?

I think one of our new Swedish friends (welcome Noi!) (oops - välkommen, Noi!) already said something along these lines, but I thought I'd pass on a quick overview of the sweclockers gang for unfiction members - a BIG techie site - lots of hardcore news, reviews and discussion about hardware and software, but also a games section and a teleport thread. I quickly perused a few pages of posts and found that, except for the part about being in swedish, they sound extremely like UF's members - lotsa skeptics, a few trying to figure our WTF is going on. Kindred spirits in the gaming world, anyway. I liked the one post that suggested we try to smoke the teleport cards and see what happens.
And something to aspire to - on my recent visit there were 678 people perusing their forums !!! (Mostly not discussing redkore, of course.)

Don't publish.
Every iPhone and iPad app is required to have a splash screen that appears while the app is loading.

Knock yourself out and be prepared for a rejection from Apple.

text: Home Politics Why Jesse Jackson Jr.'s Win Won't Save His Career Jackson easily held on to his seat in this week's midterm elections. But the scandal-ridden congressman "could'a been a contender" on a much larger scale. Some say he has only himself to blame. By: Sylvester Monroe Posted: Nov. 4 2010 1:11 AM 0 In the immortal words of the great New York Yankee pundit Yogi Berra, "It was like déjà vu all over again." Under a blinding media glare, yet another prominent American politician squirmed to sweep aside a damaging extramarital affair. This time it was Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., deflecting questions about a two-year-old indiscretion with a blond Washington, D.C., restaurant hostess. "The reference to a social acquaintance is a private and personal matter between me and my wife that was handled some time ago," Jackson said at the time. Newspaper headlines quickly proclaimed: "Like Father, Like Son," referring to his famous father's rumored flings with singer Roberta Flack and other women whose names never surfaced. The elder Jackson's personal reputation was sullied, but his political career never seemed to suffer, even after fathering a child from one illicit affair. This week, the younger Jackson easily won reelection to an eighth term as Illinois' 2nd District congressman, handily defeating his opponent, GOP challenger Isaac Hayes. However, unlike his father, the younger Jackson still faces a tarnished and uncertain political future as he confronts his own scandalous extramarital tryst and a federal investigation into his alleged involvement with former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, now on trial for allegedly trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. Also unlike his father, who ran for president twice but was never elected to any office, Rep. Jackson did not get help from his wife when the story of the affair finally broke late last month. (The congressman declined to speak with The Root "on advice of counsel.") During the Rev. Jesse Jackson's 1988 bid for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, a dogged reporter from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution threatened to bring the campaign to a halt with allegations of an affair with a woman who worked for the DNC. Then, in an interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes, Jackson's wife, Jacqueline, helped put an end to the overt media questioning. Looking straight into the legendary reporter's eyes, she told him that he was not welcome in the Jackson bedroom. "There are certain vulgar questions that should not be asked," she said. Twenty-two years later, Rep. Jackson's wife, Sandi, a Chicago alderman, took a completely different tack. In a front-page interview with Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, Mrs. Jackson bared her anguish and anger over her husband's betrayal. "I'd known about it nearly two years ago because Jesse told me late one night in Washington," she told Sneed. Shortly after the news broke of the affair, she said, she spoke with staff members gathered at a 47th birthday party and fundraiser held for her at a South Side restaurant. "I told them: 'I put my foot knee-deep in his ass, and he has been having a very difficult time sleeping peacefully since then.'" Her husband was at the party when she spoke. And while everyone enjoyed a laugh at his expense, Alderman Jackson went on to explain how deadly serious the entire experience has been and how the public disclosure reopened a deeply painful personal wound. "When the Clintons ran into marital trouble, I thought Hillary should leave Bill," Jackson told Sneed. "I couldn't understand what Tiger Woods did and how his wife had to suffer publicly. But when the 'beast' lands at your door, it can be a very, very different experience. No one really knows what they are going to do until they are in that situation. When it happens to you, it's amazing how what you once thought was black and white becomes variations of a color called gray." Jackson has apologized publicly to his wife and family; she says they have been to counseling and she has forgiven him. But if the Jacksons' marriage is no longer clouded by shades of "gray," the congressman's once-bright political future remains murky. Page 1 of 4 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

A last-second tip-in by Georgia Tech forward Marcus Georges-Hunt delivered a 71-69 upset of No. 6 Miami Wednesday night in Coral Gables, Fla., probably the biggest win of coach Brian Gregory's two-year tenure.
"I don't think many people thought we had a chance to win this game," Gregory said.
Tied at 69 with under a minute to go, forward Robert Carter stole a pass into the post, setting up Georges-Hunt's game-winner. Out of a timeout with 28.7 seconds left, Georges-Hunt took the ball with about eight seconds to go and, on a play called in the timeout, drove to the basket. His shot missed, but he followed with a left-handed tip-in as time expired, precipitating a happy pile-up of Tech players and staff on the court.
"To be honest with you, players win games and you've got to be able to make a play, and Marcus made a play on that one," Gregory said.
In a season in which they have both struggled against the heavyweights of the ACC – the Jackets were 1-7 against Miami, Duke, North Carolina, N.C. State and Virginia – and failed to close out tight contests – 1-4 in games decided by five points or fewer – the Jackets pulled out a mammoth victory in the clutch.
"They were fired up, there's no question about it, and they deserved it," Gregory said.
Among those celebrating in the locker room afterwards was Tech great Kenny Anderson, who attended the game. Anderson lives in the area and just finished his second season coaching at the Posnack Jewish Day School in Davie, Fla.
Tech recovered from a 10-point deficit with 11:02 to go with efficient, aggressive offense and enough defense to slow down the high-powered Hurricanes. Down 65-60 after two Shane Larkin free throws with 6:01 to go, Tech held the Hurricanes to four points the rest of the way to pull out the win.
Guard Chris Bolden finished with a game- and career-high 21 points, including two on a layup in which he faked a behind-the-back pass to create an opening to the basket that gave Tech a 67-66 lead with 3:40 to go, the Jackets' first advantage since the 13:28 mark of the first half.
Center Daniel Miller added 18 on 8-for-12 shooting to go with five rebounds. Georges-Hunt scored only four points, including the game-winner, but spread out six assists against one turnover. Tech, which turned the ball over 15 times in a dispiriting loss to N.C. State on Sunday, turned the ball over just nine times. The Jackets shot 51.7 percent from the field, 10 percentage points better than their league-worst average and 12.8 points better than Miami's defensive field-goal rate.
It enabled Tech to overcome a considerable free throw disparity – 3-for-6 for Tech compared to 15-for-21 for the Hurricanes.
Tech improved to 16-13 overall and 6-11 in the ACC, while Miami dropped to 23-6 and 14-3. It was the Hurricanes' first home loss of the season after 13 wins.
After Tech's win over Maryland last week, Gregory practically scoffed at a question about whether it was the biggest win since he had been hired, pointing instead to the Jackets' two wins over Georgia. While important, it would be harder to argue against the significance of Wednesday night's win in Coral Gables – a win over a top-10 team on its home court as it attempted to win outright the ACC regular-season title. Tech had not beaten a top-25 team since Gregory's hire. Its last win over a ranked team anywhere was against No. 19 Maryland in the 2010 ACC tournament. It was the Jackets' first road win over a top-10 opponent since an upset of No. 3 Duke in March 2004, the season that they went to the national championship game. Tech had lost 13 such games after that.
"Our guys played their hearts out tonight, there's no question about it," Gregory said. "We played with great intensity, great energy, great belief in what we were doing."
The win spoke again to the considerable turnaround Gregory has driven in the Jackets' capacity to win on the road. Tech had lost 36 of 39 ACC road games prior to its 64-54 win over Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., Feb. 9. The Jackets have won three of the past four ACC road games, including the Miami victory, since then.
With the win, Tech has secured a winning record for the regular season and gave its chances of earning an at-large bid to the NIT a considerable boost. Miami is ranked No. 3 in RPI according to realtimerpi.com. Prior to Wednesday, Tech's biggest RPI win was over No. 35 St. Mary's.

People are calling the recently adjourned 112th Congress "the most dysfunctional ever" and the least productive since the infamous "do-nothing Congress" of the 1940s. There's lots of blame to go around, but one cause for congressional gridlock has gone unnoticed and unremarked upon: we no longer have a sense of honor.
Back in the late 18th and 19th centuries, when our bicameral legislature and its rules were conceived of by a bunch of land-owning white males, a gentleman's word was his most precious asset. Integrity and the lack thereof were literally a matter of life and death; consider the matter of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.
As Thomas Jefferson and his de facto wife Sally Hemings could attest, civility was far from guaranteed under this old system. It certainly could have worked better for Charles Sumner, the abolitionist Massachusetts senator who was nearly beaten to death by a proslavery colleague on the floor of the Senate in 1856. (He was avenging what he considered libelous rhetoric against his family.)
Though less-than-perfect, there was a lot to be said for a culture in which a person's word was his bond. Legalistic quibbling was scorned, and a legislator was expected to stake out and defend a principled position, even in the face of political and personal adversity.
It's hard to imagine the "fiscal cliff" showdown unfolding in the 1800s or even the first half of the 1900s for two simple reasons. First, the general fiscal health of the country would have come ahead of partisanship. Second, and more importantly, members of the two political parties would have stuck to the deal that they struck a decade earlier. When George W. Bush and his Republicans pushed for a set of income tax cuts that primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans in 2001, they argued the standard GOP trickle-down economics talking point that the tax cuts would pay for themselves by stimulating the economy so much that revenues into government coffers would more than make up for the cost. In order to get enough Democratic support for passage, the Republicans agreed to a five-year time period, after which taxes would revert to their Clinton-era levels.
By 2006 there was still no evidence to show that the tax cuts had stimulated the economy. In fact, by many measures, things were worse. The housing bubble was beginning to burst; unemployment and underemployment had increased. If this had been the 19th century, Republican legislators would have acknowledged that their experiment had failed and that would have been that. A gentleman didn't run away from the facts or his mistakes.
Voters seemed to agree. Unhappy with the invasion of Iraq as well as the state of the economy, Americans returned Democrats to control of Congress in 2006. Republicans had a pretty good idea -- the polls were damning -- that their unpopular policies were driving them toward a decisive defeat in the midterm elections. For men and women of honor, this would have been a time to reassess and back off.
Nevertheless the GOP jammed through an extension of the 2001 Bush tax cuts for the wealthy months before the midterm election. No honor there.
Here we are nearly 12 years later, and the verdict is in: the Bush tax cuts failed miserably. No doubt about it, it's absolutely ridiculous that President Obama and the Democrats agreed to extend them for all but the richest one-half of one percent of American income earners. But the debate should never have gotten this far in the first place. Had the Republicans who proposed it in the first place possessed an iota of good old-fashioned 19th-century honor and integrity, this misbegotten legislative abortion would have died in 2006.
Robert's Rules of Order and other quaint traditions of parliamentary procedure don't translate to a quibbling little time like ours, when White House lawyers torture widely understood words like "torture" and "soldier" or claim that a U.S. military base in Cuba is in no man's land, neither in Cuba nor under U.S. control, and when members of both major political parties say anything in order to get their way. Consider, for example, the current push to reform the filibuster, in order to clear the logjam on judicial nominations and other business that used to be considered routine.
The Senate, the only house of Congress that permits a filibuster, draws upon a tradition of principled minority protest that goes back to Cato in ancient Rome. Until the 1970s, filibusters were a rarity, averaging one a year. Senators viewed them as a bit of a nuclear option and only considered deploying a one-man block on debate of a bill a few times during a long political career, to take a stand on an issue where he felt it mattered most. Now the filibuster is not only a daily routine but gets deployed in an automated way so that the Senate has effectively become a body in which nothing gets done without a 60 percent vote in favor.
Everyone in the Senate understood what filibusters were for. No one abused them. It was a matter of honor.
But honor is too much to ask when even the most basic of all political considerations -- ideology and party affiliation -- bend like a reed in the winds of change.
Last week the Republican governor of New Jersey and a Republican congressman from Long Island, N.Y. were so incensed by their party's refusal to approve disaster relief funds for their states after Hurricane Sandy that they went public with disparaging remarks about the Republican leadership in Congress. Fair enough. Standing up for your constituents against rank parochial self-interest is what integrity is all about.
On the other hand, the immediate willingness of some so-called liberal and progressive Democrats to welcome Chris Christie -- a Tea Party favorite -- and Peter King -- a notorious nativist and anti-Muslim bigot -- into their party's ranks indicates a willingness to overlook basic principles that would have startled most self-described gentlemen of a century or two ago, much less those who'd entered public service. Back then, of course, the American political party system wasn't as settled as it is today, so there were mass changes of party affiliation as parties appeared, metastasized, and vanished. Still, it wasn't acceptable behavior to change parties over a minor spat like the hurricane aid or for a party to accept members who didn't adhere to its principles.
It's almost enough to make you wish for a duel.

On the day he was hired, DeRuyter promised to bring the Red Wave - Fresno State's loyal fan base - a conference championship. He delivered on that promise by leading the Bulldogs to a 7-1 mark in their first season of Mountain West play to capture the school's first conference championship since 1999, ending a 13-year drought. His nine wins are the most by any first-year head coach at Fresno State and he becomes the second Bulldog to guide a team to a bowl game in his first season. The improvements under DeRuyter and his staff are significant, but the sharpest improvement came in the one category that matters most - winning games. Fresno State finished the 2011 season 4-9 overall, but improved to 9-4 in the first year under DeRuyter. The five-game improvement from last year to this season marked the sixth-best turnaround in the nation. With a background rooted on the defensive side of the ball - he was a defensive coordinator for 16 years before coming to Fresno State - DeRuyter changed the philosophy of how the 'Dogs played on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the Bulldogs went to an up-tempo spread offense in 2012 and finished in the top 20 nationally in scoring, passing and total offense. Defensively, Fresno State's most momentous change came in the turnover department. Fresno State had ranked 111th or worse in turnovers gained in the six previous seasons before DeRuyter's arrival and tied for dead last in the nation in 2011 with only nine take-aways. In one season in DeRuyter's 3-4 defense, now run by defensive coordinator Nick Toth, Fresno State had 35 take-aways in the regular season to rank fifth nationally. The Bulldogs became the first team since the turn of the century to have under 10 take-aways one season but over 30 the next. Additionally, the difference in turnovers from last year to this year - an improvement of 26 turnovers gained - is the largest by any FBS team this century. DeRuyter came to Fresno State with 22 years of coaching experience. He took over the Bulldog program after serving the previous two seasons as the assistant head coach/defensive coordinator at Texas A&M. There, he also served as the interim head coach for the Aggies in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas against Northwestern on Dec. 31, 2011, leading A&M to a 33-22 victory. DeRuyter hails from a pair of Hall of Fame coaches, as he was mentored by Fisher DeBerry at Air Force and by Chris Ault at Nevada. DeRuyter was a 2010 nominee for the Broyles Award that honors the nation's top assistant coach, when he was working under former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman.
DeRuyter made an immediate impact during his first season in Aggieland as the 2010 squad improved fifty spots in the national rankings for total defense, rising to No. 55 in the country as the resurrected Wrecking Crew helped lead A&M to the Cotton Bowl. Highlighting a long list of players who excelled under DeRuyter's scheme was Von Miller, who in addition to earning All-American honors was awarded the 2010 Butkus Award given annually to the nation's most outstanding linebacker. Miller went on to become the second overall pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2011 NFL draft. In 2011, Texas A&M led the nation with 51 sacks and the Aggies were second in the Big 12 by only allowing 106.0 rushing yards per game. Before coaching the Aggie defense, DeRuyter spent three years as the defensive coordinator and safeties coach at his alma mater, Air Force. He also held the title of associate coach in 2008 and 2009. This will be DeRuyter 13th bowl game of his coaching career, including one in each of the past seven seasons, and as an outside linebacker at Air Force in the early `80s, he led the Falcons to three-straight bowl victories. A native of Long Beach, Calif., DeRuyter was born on Jan. 3, 1963 and graduated from St. John Bosco High School (Bellflower, Calif.) in 1981. He holds a bachelor's degree in management from Air Force (1985) and a MBA in market strategy from Regis University (1992). Upon his graduation from the Air Force Academy, he served seven-and-a-half years of active duty in the Air Force. DeRuyter and his wife, Kara, have a son, Jake, a sophomore at the Air Force Academy, and a daughter, Christina, who is a senior in high school. |
