The Ladyjacks return nine starters to a team that set a school-record with wins in a single season after posting a 17-4-0 overall record with a perfect 8-0-0 mark in conference play last season. Earning first-team honors for Stephen F. Austin are senior Lacey Lee and juniors Chelsea Raymond, Zuri Prince and Megan Dunnigan.
Lee and Dunnigan will headline the SFA defense that was one of the toughest in the country last season. Lee, a goalkeeper from Bedford, Texas, ranked second in the nation in goals-against average (0.42) and fourth in save percentage (.887) while notching 10 shutouts in the net last year. Dunnigan, a defender from Round Rock, Texas, anchors the SFA defense that allowed only 13 goals on the season and ranked 13th nationally with a 0.624 goal-against average, which included 13 shutouts.
Leading the Ladyjacks' offensive attack this season are Raymond and Prince. Raymond, a forward from Irving, Texas, led SFA in total points (29) last season with a team-high 13 goals and three assists. Prince, the 2012 conference tournament most valuable player, recorded 19 points last year with seven goals and five assists. The junior forward also ranked tied for 17th in the nation with five game-winning goals.
SFA also places two student-athletes on the second team with senior midfielder Brenda Salazar and sophomore defender Chantal Curry.
Oral Roberts, which places five student-athletes on the preseason all-conference teams, including two members on the first team, returns seven starters to a team that finished 12-7-2 a season ago and fourth in the league with a 5-3-0 record. On the first team for ORU are senior Jennifer Abernathy and junior Megan Giles. Abernathy, a midfielder from Broken Arrow, Okla., led the Golden Eagles in shots (58) last season while ranking second in league play in assists (four). Giles returns to the Golden Eagles as the team's assist leader from last season. The forward from Tulsa, Okla., dished out seven assists last season to go along with four goals to help ORU advance to the semifinals in its first Southland Conference tournament.
Rounding out ORU's all-conference selections are a trio of second-team honorees. Senior midfielder Lexie Salas and sophomore forward Kayla Keller lead the charge on the offensive end while junior goalkeeper Helen Erb gets the nod for her defensive efforts in the net.
After finishing last season with a 6-2-0 conference mark and reaching the championship match of the conference tournament, Lamar returns nine starters, four of which earn all-conference accolades. The Lady Cardinals place two players on the first team, headlined by junior Kristin Bos. The midfielder from Valencia, Calif., netted 11 goals last season while dishing out four assists for 26 points to help pace Lamar's offense. Also earning first-team honors is defender Amber Thornhill, a senior from Katy, Texas. Thornhill anchors the Lady Cardinals' defense that recorded seven of its 11 wins via shutout. Earning second-team honors for Lamar are a couple of forwards with junior Kimmy Albeno and sophomore Jannet Hernandez.
Southeastern Louisiana is coming off a third-place conference finish with a 5-2-1 league record and a 12-7-1 overall mark and places three student-athletes on the preseason teams with senior Shanyce Shaw earning first-team recognition. Shaw, a defender from Ajax, Ontario, recorded two assists last season and anchors the Lady Lions defense that gave up only 20 goals last season and blanked their opponent 10 times. Senior midfielder Kelsey Salcido and sophomore forward Kayla Vera each earn a spot on the second team for Southeastern.
Sam Houston State and Central Arkansas each have one all-conference selection both of whom earn first-team honors to complete the first team. Bearkat sophomore Katie Ferrara, a senior from Round Rock, Texas, led the Bearkats a season ago with four goals on only 17 shots for a team-high .235 shooting percentage. For the Bears, Adriana Lucar, a senior forward from Lima, Peru, looks to capitalize this season after ranking tied for 23rd nationally with 14 goals last season, helping her earn the conference newcomer of the year award.
Rounding out the all-conference teams is a pair of second-team selections with Houston Baptist sophomore Blake Martin and Northwestern State junior Jackie Strug. Martin, a defender from College Station, Texas, prepares to lead the Huskies into their first season in the Southland. Strug, a defender from Plano, Texas, will look to help the Lady Demons improve on last season after going 1-6-1 in league play.
Players named to the 2012 All-Southland Conference soccer teams who are returning for the 2013 season are automatic selections to the 2013 preseason all-conference soccer teams. The remaining positions are nominated and voted on by league head coaches.

Deputies: Bank robbers busted in south Lee
Two people were arrested Saturday just hours after authorities say they robbed an Estero bank.
Christopher Donald Baker, 40, and Kristin Williams, 27, were arrested by Lee County sheriff's deputies Saturday afternoon. The pair is accused of robbing a Chase Bank, 21331 U.S. 41.
The robbery occurred around 11:50 a.m., the Sheriff's Office reported. While on the phone with dispatch, a caller was able to provide a description of what the suspects were wearing and driving, and who was carrying the white plastic bank deposit bag.
The Lee County aviation unit was deployed and found the vehicle, a green Ford Explorer, headed north on Interstate 75. The county's grand theft auto detectives located the vehicle at a gas station on Daniels Parkway.
Detectives approached the vehicle when Baker entered the gas station. Williams, according to the release, attempted to flee but was taken into custody. Baker also tried to flee, but was also taken into custody.
Baker is also wanted in Pennsylvania for robbery.

Mistimed traffic light sensors cause big backups in Hawaii KaiUPDATED 7:20 PM HST Dec 18, 2013
Mistimed traffic light sensors in Hawaii Kai cause long waits at intersection, sometimes up to five minutes.Video Transcript
Nobody likes waiting at red lights.... Try waiting at one that takes a good FIVE MINUTES to change! That's what motorists are doing right now at several busy intersections in Hawaii Kai. KITV4's Justin Fujioka is live there to tell us what has drivers SEEING RED! Justin? Justin ad-lib... ...Big backup. Jeff Letterii: "IT JUST SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME ...Big backup. Jeff Letterii: "IT JUST SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I'M COMING OR GOING, I'M WAITING." Sure, that's how many on Oahu feel about driving. But lately, there's been another obstacle for Hawaii Kai commuters that they say is unnecessary. Ilse Lum: "I NOTICE I HAVE TO WAIT QUITE A LONG TIME BEFORE THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AGAIN." How long? As much as five minutes at peak times ... like rush hour and when classes get out at Kaiser High School. Motorists say the wait is most noticeable at Wailua Street and Hawaii Kai Drive near the post office... And on Lunalilo Home Road at Wailua and at Kaiser High. But it's not just those behind the wheel complaining... Barb Krum: "THE LIGHTS ARE VERY SLOW. THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT CALIBRATED RIGHT." Barb Krum: "THERE'S NO ONE GOING EITHER WAY BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE RED AND I CAN'T CROSS AGAINST THAT." Others do. We caught this pedestrian crossing illegally... while others wait. Ilse Lum: "I'M ANXIOUS THOUGH, TO JUST STEP ON MY GAS PETAL AND HEAD, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BREAK THE LAW. SO YES, IT FRUSTRATES ME TO SIT THERE WHEN THERE'S NO TRAFFIC GOING BACK AND FORTH." This driver gave up on waiting... and made a left turn on red. Jeff Letterii: "IT IS FRUSTRATING TO WAIT AT THE RED LIGHT WHEN THERE'S NO TRAFFIC. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE OR WHAT THE CHANGE HAS BEEN, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE'RE WAITING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPARED TO THE PAST." Justin ad-lib... A male in his 40's or 50's is FIGHTING for his life tonight --

Analyst expects FaceTime for iPod touch, new MacBook Air
updated 06:20 pm EDT, Wed August 25, 2010
Air refresh still seen as "wild card"
Analysts have quickly placed bets on the products likely to be launched at Apple's September media event. Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster echos ongoing rumors that the company will introduce a new iPod touch with two cameras, enabling FaceTime calls.
The analyst also believes an updated version of iTunes and Apple TV will be highlighted at the event. Each product is said to take advantage of a new cloud-based service, which will be powered in part by the massive data center in North Carolina.
""The company has indicated that the data center is on track to be completed by the end of CY10 and it will begin using it then," Munster wrote in a note distributed to clients. "We believe an announcement at the Sept. event is likely, but the service may not begin until late in CY10."
Aside from the iPod and Apple TV refreshes, Munster believes the company may also be readying a new MacBook Air. Others view such an introduction as unlikely at the September event, however, and even Munster labels it as a "wildcard possibility." [via WSJ]

FS: Forester Fog Light LED Bulbs! HP, XP, XML2 models! Plug and Play upgrade!
Subaru Forester Fog Light LED Bulbs
We carry LED bulbs for replacement of your Forester's fog lights or DRLs, in all major sizes. They are available in several different LED model types. This will make your fog lights a nice bright white, without the hassle of HIDs! Just simple plug and play, replace the bulb and you are good to go!
We carry the brightest, highest-quality bulbs at the lowest prices. Your order will ship same day, and we're here if you need us for support and service. And we do not raise the prices to astronomical levels- We're breaking that market trend, and offering you great, low prices, every day. These LED bulbs are designed by us here in St. Louis, and every bulb carries with it a 3-year limited warranty.
Diode Dynamics offers several brightness options so you can choose what fits you best. These options are listed by the design and the lumen output of each bulb, compared to the factory bulb.
HP48: 265 lumens. Lower brightness than factory, but still provides the crisp white, modern color of LEDs.
HP8: 270 lumens. Slightly lower brightness than factory.
XP80: 510 lumens. Similar brightness to factory.
XML2: 1410 lumens. Much brighter than factory. These are bright!
Please note that most LED fog lights are for cosmetic purposes only, and will not project light in the same way that the factory bulbs do. Your car will look great at night, but if you are looking for higher output, we strongly recommend using an HID conversion.
These bulbs are made up of a quality plastic connector to slide right into the plug, as well as high durability terminals. A load resistor is embedded to prevent blowing the LEDs from voltage surge, and a diode is implanted to protect the LEDs from reverse polarity. The LED is wired for 12V operation, the kind found on all vehicles.
Included in your order is TWO BULBS (to fit your Forester).
All of our products come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a 3-year limited warranty.

any pics with them installed? kind of wondering what this looks like .
Pics of the cutoff in a foglight please.
rubbish. Filament vs multiple dispersed sources, the cutoff (if one is even visible) will be greatly different.
Looking forward to photos!
Right, but what I meant was that most fog lights are just a very simple reflector pointed at the ground, and don't have any clear cutoff, like with a projector headlight. I'll get some pics! :)
question , wheres the pic? lol
Still workin on it!
Any pic yet?? Lol
I just answered a couple hours ago... we are working on finding a Forester to come in again to take pictures. Thanks for your patience.
we already have!
Like I just said- we're working on it.
comment: no-one's gong to buy them if they're crap. Waiting for you to prove otherwise.
And stop bumping all your bleedin threads all the time!
Well, we've sold around 50 pairs of these with all positive reviews. Like I said, we are working to get pictures on a Forester but that's much easier said than done. They are still available for sale, though.
need a shot with one stock and one led facing a white wall or garage door before I'd purchase anything.. most aftermarket are pure garbage.
(not saying your products are just want to see it in action before leaping)

Tour Description
At the ancient site of Delphi, where the Greeks once consulted the Oracle about the future, there's a small round sculpture. It's known as the omphalos - the cosmic belly button. The Greeks believed that Delphi was the very center of the world - the place where it all came into being. Indeed, many aspects of Western culture came into being in Greece - drama, art, philosophy and science.
It's a heady feeling to walk on stones that may have been trod by Plato, Homer or Agamemnon. But at many places in Greece, where ancient ruins are surrounded by the noise and smells of traffic, or where pristine island beaches are packed by topless sunbathers, it's apparent that the influence works the other way as well: Greece, it sometimes seems, has been overtaken by the modern world it spawned.
The trick for travelers in Greece is to find the golden mean - in this case, the balance between environment and history, between crowds and quiet, between ancient and modern. With a bit of planning (and maybe a query to the Oracle), you can find beautiful settings that can soothe your soul, while centuries of art and history invigorate your mind. And very likely, you'll be as charmed by the Greek people as you are by their landscape. During our last trip, we learned the Greek shortcut to communication - dancing. Growing frustrated with our attempts to speak in rudimentary Greek, an elderly Greek woman in a small island village grabbed us by the arm and began dancing. It was late at night, and we whirled around the terrace by moonlight, barriers dropping by the second.
Day 1: Athens, Greece
On arrival in Athens you will be met and transferred by private, air-conditioned Mercedes sedan taxi to your hotel. The remainder of today is at leisure for you to relax after your journey or to start exploring the vibrant city of Athens independently.
Athens: The city with the most glorious history in the world, a city worshipped by gods and people, a magical city. The enchanting capital of Greece is the birthplace of civilization. It is the city where democracy was born and most of the wise men of ancient times. The most important civilization of the ancient world flourished in Athens and relives through some of the world's most formidable edifices.
The Electra Palace Hotel in Athens is a five star property, centrally located in the heart of Athens and the old town of Plaka and is within walking distance from Acropolis, all major historical sites and the business and commercial districts.
Electra Palace Hotel
Day 2: Athens
This morning you will be met by you're private A/C Mercedes sedan taxi and licensed English-speaking guide to commence your tour of Athens.
For twenty-five centuries the panorama of the city has been dominated by the Acropolis. Leave your vehicle at the foot of the rock and follow your guide uphill to visit the Acropolis and see the principal buildings: the Propylaia, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and the Parthenon Temple.
Continue on with a panoramic tour of the city where you will view the Olympieon (the Temple of Olympian Zeus) from the 6th century BC, one of the largest Corinthian style temples in Greek history and Hadrian's Arch (2nd century AD) which divided the Greek city from Hadrian's new Roman City. Arriving at Syntagma Square, see the Royal Palace, built for Otto I of Bavaria and the present day parliament. In front of the palace stands the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, where two soldiers (Evzoni) stand guard continuously. Finally visit the stadium, which stands on the site of the ancient stadium, laid out under Lycurgus in the 4th century BC and rebuilt in 1896 on its original plan for the modern Olympic Games.
The Museum: For the first time ever, all the surviving treasures of the Acropolis will be seen together in one place. Five collections- namely the finds from the slopes of the Acropolis, works of the archaic period, the classical Acropolis, the post-Parthenon and the Roman period, comprise the museum's exhibition. A sixth major exhibit is the remains of the ancient Athenian city revealed by archaeological excavations on the site of the museum.
Note: the new Acropolis Museum is closed on Mondays.
Electra Palace Hotel
Day 3: Athens- Mykonos
After an early breakfast this morning you will be privately transferred by Mercedes sedan taxi with your English-speaking driver to Piraeus port to board a fast ferry to the island Mykonos (3.5 hours.) Upon arrival in Mykonos you will be met by an English-speaking driver and transferred directly to your hotel. The remainder of your day will be at leisure.
The luxurious newly renovated Petassos Beach stands majestically on a private peninsula offering transpire great class, impeccable taste in seductive and stunning sea views of the Aegean for unique privacy and relaxation.
Mykonos: This island looks as if it's straight off tourism posters- beautiful water, whitewashed houses, sandy beaches, winding streets, windmills, tiny chapels, colorful domed churches and radian flowers. But don't expect to find isolation: Mykonos swarms with tourists in the warmer months. Attractions include great restaurants, lively tavernas, very good shopping (especially for casual clothes), waterskiing, surfing and beaches. The best beaches are Paradise, Agrari and Elia.
Petassos Beach Hotel
Day 4: Mykonos- Delos- Mykonos
This morning meet your English-speaking guide and transfer by ferry to the neighboring island of Delos, an uninhabited island of many archaeological treasures. Delos was first a place of pilgrimage before becoming a thriving commercial port in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. You will return back to Mykonos by ferry to enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.
Petassos Beach Hotel
Day 5: Mykonos- Santorini
Today you will be transferred to Mykonos port with English-speaking assistance to board your fast ferry to Santorini (3 hours.) Upon arrival in Santorini, considered to be the most spectacular of all the Greek islands, you will be met by an English-speaking representative and privately transferred to your hotel.
The Canaves Oia Hotel is a luxury resort located on the northwest tip of Santorini Island, in the extremely scenic settlement of Oia (Ia). The resort is situated on a unique location, built on the side of a cliff overlooking the mysterious Caldera, the most fascinating location for Santorini luxury hotels. At the Canaves Oia Hotel in Santorini, 17th century canaves that are carved into the rock have been modified and transformed into elegantly designed luxury suites, decorated in the traditional island style, with antique furniture and object d' art. For those looking for wedding accommodation, the Canaves Oia Santorini honeymoon suites are an excellent choice.
The capital of this Cycladic Island, Fira (also called Thera or Thira), has a rather unique position: It's perched on the rim of an active volcano. The island used to be circular, but a massive volcanic explosion around 3,500 years ago blew out the center of the island. (Many people attribute the decline of the Minoan civilization on Crete to this cataclysmic eruption.) High cliffs jutting into the sea are all that's left of the crater rim. The surrounding islands are the remains of the sides of the crater.
Sunsets on the island are particularly striking: all the restaurants and bars in Fira face west over the sunken volcano and the Aegean Sea.
Canaves Hotel
Day 6: Santorini
This afternoon enjoy a sail on a catamaran around the beautiful blue waters of Santorini with a delicious barbeque dinner served on board. The itinerary is as follows: depart the port and visit Red and White Beaches, sail past Acrotiri, sail into the caldera, hot springs, Palea Kameni Island for swimming and snorkeling.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 May Get A European Release
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 is a strategic role-playing game and spin-off of the main Shin Megami Tensei series. The game has been released some time ago on Nintendo DS in North America and Japan but a European version has yet to become available. The European publisher of the series, Ghostlight, stated some time ago that there was a small chance that the game might get released in Europe as well.
The publisher has now explained the situation in greater detail: Ghostlight may release the game in Europe in a special way, by selling it exclusively through its online store only to those who pre-order the game. By doing things this way the publisher can know if the product is commercially viable and make sure that all the production costs can be covered.
To make the European release happen, a certain amount of pre-orders must be reached within a month's time: if pre-orders end up not being enough, the game will not be released.
Ghostlight also acknowledges that more than a few players may be waiting for the 3DS updated port of the game: however, if these players feel the need for another good strategic role-playing game like Fire Emblem: Awakening and the first Devil Survivor game, Devil Survivor 2 will definitely make them happy.
Ghostlight will give us more details on the pre-orders for Devil Survivor 2 next week, so stay tuned for updates.

(Joe Murphy/Getty Images)The Grizzlies announced Tuesday that coach Dave Joerger has signed a contract extension.The Memphis Commercial-Appeal reports that Joerger had two guaranteed years and a team option for the 2016-17 season on his previous contract. The extension calls for three guaranteed years and a 2017-18 team option.Joerger's new deal comes days after he interviewed for the Timberwolves' head coaching position, which opened after Rick Adelman retired. The Timberwolves and Joerger, a Minnesota native, were reportedly close to reaching a deal after Grizzlies owner Robert Pera agreed to let Joerger interview for the position.CBSSports.com and Yahoo Sports both reported Sunday that Pera eventually convinced Joerger to remain with the Grizzlies, who parted ways with CEO Jason Levien and assistant GM Stu Lash in a front-office shake-up earlier this week. Chris Wallace is serving as the franchise's interim GM, but the Grizzlies plan to conduct an executive search to explore their options.MANNIX: Grizzlies are a mess despite Joerger's unexpected return"I am excited to announce that we have reached an agreement to extend Dave Joerger as the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies," Pera said in a statement. "Following an open and honest dialogue with Dave, it became clear that Dave was fully committed to Memphis and we are committed to him. I look forward to seeing Dave build upon the foundation he helped establish over the last seven years, and we are both committed to bringing a championship to Memphis."Joerger succeeded Lionel Hollins as coach of the Grizzlies last summer, and he led Memphis to a 50-32 record in his first season as an NBA head coach. The Grizzlies were eliminated by the Thunder in seven games in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.Prior to his appointment as head coach, the 40-year-old Joerger had been a Grizzlies assistant since 2007. He spent the previous decade as a minor-league basketball coach in the International Basketball Association, the Continental Basketball Association and the D-League. "I am absolutely thrilled to continue as the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies for years to come," Joerger said. "I want to thank Robert Pera for believing in me. I look forward to building on the success we experienced this year with our core group of players that I have worked closely with over the past seven years as we work towards our ultimate goal of winning a world championship. I am 100 percent committed to leading the Grizzlies and I could not be more proud to call Memphis home." Promoted Stories Comments

We all are familiar with tuna in the little pouches and doesn't need to be refrigerated but I never looked at any of the other pouches that were available. I love salmon and there are times where I can just tell I want meat or protein and I am hungry. Instead of eating a healthy snack and wanting more because I'm not satisfied or eating something outside of my calory range for a snack I grab salmon in the pouch. It's delisious an quick to grab.
This week i found that if I eat a salad for dinner it not only ensures that I eat my veggie servings for the day, it also discourages evening munchies. I think I feel so healthy that it keeps me from ruining the night by mindlessly snacking on cheese its! Just be sure to include a protein in there to help make you feel full even longer.
Be prepared for when the munchies strike!
Eating a variety of protein from meats, eggs, dairy, grains, and legumes is a healthy way to make sure you're getting all the proteins your body needs.Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast,Boneless Skinless Turkey Breast , Lean Deli Ham, Pork Tenderloin (or other lean pork cut), Extra Lean Ground Beef, Beef Top Sirloin, Eye Round Steak Walnuts, Almonds, Seafood is one of the best protein sources. Milk, yogurt, cream and cheese are the rich sources of proteins and beans.

On behalf of Barron Law Corporation posted in Corporate Law on Thursday, January 5, 2012
Employers in California used to be able to check the credit score of a job applicant in the interest of making sure that the prospective hire has good judgment and is responsible, but starting this year, a new law is going to place significant restrictions on that ability.
Generally, employers will now only be able to check an applicant's credit score if he or she is applying for a managerial position or for a job that regularly deals with certain confidential information, like bank accounts and Social Security numbers. Laws like this are worth paying attention to because they shape corporate law compliance by changing the way companies must do business to stay in good legal standing.
States that have similar laws include Illinois, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Connecticut and Washington.
A big reason the law was enacted is that there was a fear that people's bad credit histories would prevent them from getting the jobs they would need to earn the income required to get back in good financial standing. A San Diego staffing professional pointed out that if a hiring manger has three applicants to choose from and one has a bad credit score, he or she will likely disregard that candidate and pick from the two who have better credit.
Now, there is probably some truth to that philosophy. But then again, shouldn't employers have an avenue to investigate whether a person is responsible and judicious in his or her personal life? There is a benefit to that, too.
What do you think? Do you think employers should have more discretion to inquire into a job applicant's credit history, or do you think this is an unnecessary intrusion into someone's life?

Stepping Stones and Capstones
By Daney Daniel Kepple
Photography by Jay Adkins
Andrew Howie '12 is serious about his education. The English/Greek and Roman Studies double major is taking piano lessons, not just for fun but to make his mind more "orderly and harmonious." By studying three different languages—Greek, Latin and Hebrew—during the same semester, "I trained myself to maintain separate and distinct ideas, hold different world views in my mind simultaneously."
He does not take summers off. As he considered his options for summer 2010, he thought he might like to do research at Rhodes.
"I have several friends in the sciences who work with professors in their labs," he says. "They are paid and have the opportunity to enhance their skills. I just assumed there would be similar opportunities in the humanities." He knew about the Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies (RIRS), but his interests stretch far beyond the Mid-South region. He was disappointed to discover there were no other opportunities available to him. Enter the new Rhodes Fellowship Program.
Howie is far from a troublemaker. However, he's not one to accept defeat without at least trying to make a difference. He took his concern to History Professor Tim Huebner and Professor Susan Satterfield of Greek and Roman Studies, one of his majors. There he hit pay dirt.
Professor Huebner, who founded RIRS, is passionate about undergraduate research and was eager to participate in the fellowship program.
"Rhodes has an outstanding reputation for bringing science students into laboratories where they do original research and, as a result, co-author articles and present papers and posters at national and international conferences," he says. "I wanted to give similar opportunities to students in the humanities and fine arts. That's where the idea for RIRS came from. Students need to understand the value of research—discovering something new, engaging with such depth to see why issues are so complicated, creating knowledge on their own.
"When someone like Andrew approaches you, you sit up and take notice. The fellowship was a way to assist an eager, talented self-starter who wants to learn what it's like to be an academician."
The History Department has an agreement with Greek and Roman Studies to teach ancient history courses, so collaboration with Professor Satterfield was natural. As discussions progressed and a proposal took shape, the goals broadened. As the History Summer Research Fellow, Howie worked on three distinct projects—research for Professor Huebner on the friendship between Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Stephens, vice president of the Confederate States of America; copyright research for Professors Dee Garceau-Hagan, Jeff Jackson and Robert Saxe; and with Professor Satterfield on her study of divination practices in ancient Rome. In the course of all that he has made a personal breakthrough.
At the beginning of the summer Howie was distressed that his wide-ranging interests might not fit into the existing structures of the academy. In thinking of graduate study he said, "I'll have to find a place where I can have control over my course of study without being forced into some departmental mode." To his relief, he determined through conversations and mentoring that he wants to study the ancient Near East and that there are programs for doing so.
So it appears that Howie will emerge from his summer fellowship with a scholarly paper co-authored with Professor Huebner, perhaps another with Professor Satterfield, and the understanding of how the copyright system works, a necessity for any scholar. Oh, and a plan for what he wants to do for the rest of his life. Not bad for a summer job.
But, of course, it wasn't a summer job. It was a fellowship. According to the newly appointed Director of Fellowships at Rhodes Dr. Scott Garner, "Fellowships offer students the opportunity to integrate their classroom experiences with those that occur elsewhere in order to make both aspects of their lives more fulfilling as they refl ect on how those experiences affect both themselves and others."
There have been similar opportunities on the Rhodes campus for years. Dr. Sid Strickland '68, Rockefeller University's vice president and dean of graduate and postgraduate studies, is fond of recounting how Chemistry Professor Harold Lyons mentored him and prepared him to do research at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
"I had a similar experience to what Rhodes students have there now," he says.
Several more formal fellowship-style programs have been added through the years (see sidebar on p.14). What's new, according to Garner, is infrastructure.
In fact, the new and improved approach to experiential education now being practiced at Rhodes is the result of several years of discussion and an intensive study mandated by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) as part of its reaffirmation of the college's accreditation. According to Dr. Robert Strandburg, associate dean of academic affairs for curriculum who led the SACS-mandated Quality Enhancement Project, "We have emerged with an approach to experiential education that can serve as a model for higher education."
A model was needed. There are many buzzwords that try to describe what Rhodes includes in a fellowship—engaged learning, making the liberal arts more practical, learning outside the classroom, etc.—but most programs have been ad hoc. Until now, there has been no rubric.
The Rhodes approach has distinct characteristics. Fellowships fall into five categories—civic engagement/ service; creative activity; internship; student research; and study abroad. Fellowship mentors must commit to fostering five student learning outcomes:
1. Integration of factual knowledge, fundamental principles, and/ or specific skills learned in the classroom with the fellowship activity
2. Strengthening analytical (or, in the arts, also creative) abilities toward establishment of a professional identity
3. Evidence of participatory, collaborative, and/or team-oriented learning
4. Personal and social development
5. Development of critical reflection skills
The last one is particularly important.
"We want the fellows to reflect continually while they're doing their work," Scott Garner says. "They must probe the meaning of why they are doing what they're doing, what they get from it and what others get from it, and why it's meaningful."
Finally, each fellowship participant is assessed by three separate instruments: one designed to assess the five learning outcomes developed by a committee of faculty, staff and students; another developed by Rhodes and three other institutional partners to assess best practices; and a third that draws on the National Survey of Student Engagement. It is also noteworthy that the college has dedicated a full-time professional staff position and a faculty/staff/ student committee to this important initiative.
In addition to Andrew Howie, 135 other students participated in summer fellowships directed by faculty and staff members from a variety of disciplines.
Jake Smith '11, under the direction of Professor Victor Coonin, chair of the Art Department, is trying to solve a mystery. The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, located across the street from Rhodes, is home to a portion of the worldfamous Samuel H. Kress Collection, the bulk of which forms the heart of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Professor Coonin says of the 28 paintings and two sculptures at Brooks, "While this collection is acknowledged as among the finest of its kind, the works have received only sporadic scholarly attention." He proposes to change that with ongoing student fellowships.
"I use the collection regularly in teaching," Professor Coonin says. "Each student is assigned a work to research, and every time at least one of them comes up with something I've never thought about—a new path to research or a new way to understand the painting, and they get the satisfaction that comes with the sense that their contribution has made a lasting impact. This is the kind of fellowship that can go on and on, and each one will change drastically based on the interests and research skills of the fellow."
Jake Smith, the current fellow, plans to be an art historian. His primary interest is in 19th- and 20th-century modernism.
"I had never paid much attention to the Renaissance," he admits.
Coonin skillfully connected Smith's interest in music to an obscure painting that portrays a figure holding an unrecognizable musical instrument. Smith's task is to identify it and he's loving the hunt.
"I've found a graduate thesis from Australia that helps and I know the chair of the Musicology Department at the University of Memphis. I've asked him and others to help. We're narrowing it down," says Smith, who hopes to broaden his credentials as an art historian and "at the very least update the bibliography at the museum so those who follow me can contribute more. As a researcher I feel more responsibility than I do as just a student. I'm trying to make a personal connection with the artist to tell the story. I want to say something different, to help people see in a different way."
Two Biology professors, Sarah Boyle and Laura Luque de Johnson, and a postdoctoral fellow, Jon Davis, teamed up to propose Integrative Research Training in Biological Subdisciplines, a yearlong fellowship for Matt Grisham '13, Anna Johnson '11 and Adiha Khan '13. Their goal is to determine the impact of urbanization on snake populations using parasites as biomarkers of the environment.
Professor Luque de Johnson, a molecular biologist, says, "Jon came up with the idea. Reptiles are his field. Parasites are mine. Sarah Boyle, who has expertise in GIS (Geographic Information System, dealing with data linked to locations), will help us see spatial patterns across the area. The students will be introduced to several areas of science."
All the students—and all the professors—go to the field to collect snakes and vectors (mosquitoes, mites and ticks), and all learn from each other.
Jon Davis says, "We take the data to the lab and Adiha analyzes them. I'm unfamiliar with molecular analysis, so I'm learning along with the students. And because there's not much known about reptile parasites, we're adding to the literature."
Which is exactly what is exciting to Matt Grisham.
"I really like the sense of discovery. This is so much better than learning out of a textbook. I'm a hands-on learner. Give me real life rather than theory anytime." Even if it means comingling with snakes and insects? "It's actually very cool," he affirms.
Environmental Science Fellows Erik Campbell '12 and Marshall Friskics- Warren '12, under the supervision of Chemistry Professor Jon Russ, are also looking at the world in a different way.
"We're mapping the distribution of lead in Memphis soils," Professor Russ explains. "Almost all urban environments are contaminated with lead, and that's hard on children's mental development. Our ultimate goal is a distribution map for Memphis."
Not an easy task. It involves devising a sampling strategy and testing it to be sure it gives an accurate picture. Then the real work begins: long, hot days of trudging through neighborhoods pulling soil samples. Erik Campbell, who's new to Russ's team, says, "No one has done anything like this before, which is awesome. It's about a thousand times better than working as a lifeguard."
Marshall Friskics-Warren is also charged about the work. "I'm in premed, so the idea of improving the health of children is great. I love the point when the numbers start coming together and a picture emerges."
Professor Russ, too, is excited about the project.
"It fits perfectly with what we do in the sciences by giving students an opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge. They are learning how a scientific project works and adding to the body of knowledge instead of just resynthesizing others' knowledge."
Stephen Bailey '12, working with Mathematics and Computer Science Professor Betsy Williams-Sanders, spent the summer learning about virtual environments or, as he put it, "Playing with expensive toys. It's very cool. I thought virtual environments existed only in the movies." Instead, he's learned that the technology is used to train firefighters without exposing them to danger and teaching pilots to fly expensive aircraft.
Professor Williams-Sanders charged Bailey with designing his own experiment and assigned him a pile of readings to help narrow his focus. She also took him to Vanderbilt University to experience the use of a motion capture system, a body suit with sensors that allows the experimenter to see him- or herself in the virtual environment.
Bailey was closing in on his project definition as we went to press. It will have to do with testing distances in a virtual environment, which shortens distance perception.
"I'm getting a chance to learn how to be a scientist!" he marvels. "I'm doing research and actually planning an experiment. I feel like I'm accomplishing a lot."
Nuclear physicist Deseree Meyer has included students in her research every year she's been at Rhodes. She's passionate about mentoring because, she says, similar experiences as an undergraduate and graduate student gave her investigative experience and enabled her to build a network of professional contacts that led to two major grants to fund her and her students' current work.
The first grant stems from a collaboration among Rhodes, the University of Richmond and scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, CA. The goal of this project is to investigate methods for studying reactions in heavy nuclei. This work helps to ensure the safety of our nation's nuclear stockpile.
The second project is also a collaboration, this time with a consortium of undergraduate institutions and scientists at Michigan State University to build an addition to the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) housed at MSU's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The addition will detect the neutrons emitted from decays of radioactive nuclei.
"We're always looking for clues about the shape," Professor Meyer explains. "Most are deformed somewhat. Very few are spherical like the ones you see in textbooks."
Students constructed and tested a number of complete tube-like neutron detector modules, each about 6½ feet long, 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall. The members of the consortium hope to contribute to the scholarship about exotic nuclei, answering outstanding questions in nuclear science such as the limits of nuclear stability for neutron-rich nuclei.
Neither grant contained funds for travel, and Professor Meyer wanted to take her student researchers to Michigan State for a firsthand look at MoNA to help them with the task of building a neutron detector at Rhodes. So she applied for, and received, fellowship funds to supplement her grants. In the process, she changed the way she interacts with her students. "The fellowship model helps to formalize the process and think about what the students take away from their experience," she says. "It has helped me refine my thoughts about student learning."
Nick Badger '12 and Matthew Miller '13, who holds the Jack H. Taylor Scholarship in Physics, say the firsthand look at MoNA and Meyer's mentorship have been invaluable.
"We got to see the MoNA in action," Badger says. "We got to run an experiment and take data."
Miller says Professor Meyer's approach to mentorship has resulted in maximum learning. "She's not bossy at all. She lets us make mistakes and fix them."
Both say this summer was a landmark experience: "Science without the answers in the back of the textbook is harder but more rewarding," Badger says. Miller adds, "You know how you sit in class and wonder, 'How will I ever use this?' Well, we're finding out."
"Neither method has been studied before," says Professor Meyer. "That makes this research fun but intimidating."
Theatre Professor David Jilg '79 is mentoring Lee Bryant '11, who in turn is guiding the work of three RIRS fellows in the production of a documentary video about the 30- year history of McCoy Theatre.
"Compressing 30 years into 15 minutes is not easy!" Bryant says. "This project is fun and it's stressful." The theatre fellow divides her breakthroughs into three primary categories:
1. Little-known or misunderstood areas. "There was a time when students weren't in most of the shows," she explains. Through the students' research, they came to understand that was Professor and McCoy Creative Director Tony Garner's attempt to engage the Memphis community in the theatre. "I had perceived that as a negative but now I understand it was an administrative strategy," she says.
2. Technical Skills. "We learned to use all the fancy cameras and to edit online."
3. Then there's the deeper knowledge. "It's so great to talk with the McCoy alums and to understand that we all share this sense of, 'McCoy is a home away from home but not a place to hide; a place to feel safe and be pushed farther than we thought we could go.'
"This has given me a greater appreciation for what McCoy means to the campus and to those who pass through," Bryant concludes. "Knowing that students and alums can have such an impact inspires me, makes me think I, too, can be an adult, take initiative and create something that lasts."
Professor Jilg, too, is pleased with the project.
"We've shown that the role of the student manager can be effective if it's done correctly. Lee worked on a documentary history of Memphis' Circuit Playhouse last year in the Regional Studies Institute, so that gave her experience working with the parameters of documentary and interviews. She's a rising senior and a natural leader. That, too, is important."
Professor Jilg says he wouldn't be surprised if more RIRS fellows develop their projects further in follow-up fellowships.
"These are wonderful opportunities for students to engage in research and creative activity that connect to but go beyond their classroom work in endeavors that they and others will benefit from greatly. Some will use their fellowship as a stepping stone to honors research or some other project. For others it will be the capstone of their college experience. It all depends on where the student is in his or her career."
Director of Fellowships Scott Garner couldn't agree more.
"One reason I'm passionate about this job is that I had a fellowship-type experience as an undergraduate that has meant so much to me personally," he says. Garner, a math major, was offered a summer research position by a Greek and Roman Studies faculty mentor. He immersed himself in it and didn't let go at the end of the summer. He changed his major and the research became his senior project that was published in a scholarly journal. In graduate school he used parts of it as his doctoral dissertation. Now he has a book on the subject pending publication at Oxford University Press.
"I've seen the trajectory and I know what this can do for students. They get to take all the knowledge with them and it will enhance both their wisdom and their life experience."

Today, I decided to try something new. I packed some cous-cous and chickpeas for lunch along with my run clothes. When my lunch hour hit I was out the door immediately with Ang. We are that rare couple that works only 3 blocks from one another so we have this luxury. I learned that I can squeeze almost 6.5 miles in during my one hour break! I can't believe I didn't figure it out sooner. The perfect running course is just a block away. Balboa Park, the same route I run from home. I need to be super fast in the apparel changing process and the clean-up afterward, but it's completely worth the rush. It's like a race against the clock.
This is not a viable option for every nine-to-fiver but if you have the opportunity, seize the hour! Squeeze in a run, even if it's a quickie.
The sun was shining brightly today, the sky a bright blue with a light wind to fan me off. I got my daily dose of Vitamin D and I feel fantastic.
Happy Friday, Everyone!

Regarding the Air Force proposal to do low flying training missions over northern New Mexico: I am married to a war veteran. PTSD is a daily reality in our home. Any reminders of the traumas of war are very unwelcome.
The sounds of the war machines set off the hypersensitive adrenal glands, rattle the frayed nerves, unleash the painful memories.

People are people and we have friends from many cultures and religions but the Cordoba Mosque seems like more of a political statement than just "freedom of religion." In 711 AD, Islam conquered Spain and in the city of Cordoba, as a statement, razed the Christian church there and erected their mosque. There are many examples of this happening in their conquests. Now, after 9/11, they want to erect the "Cordoba" mosque at ground zero in spite of the governor of New York offering land elsewhere.

This article is sorta like what Ellen does, but the focus is on the tendency we human beings have toward trying to outdo each other in almost everything.
I would like to thank the merchants and persons from Las Vegas that made our Feast Day at Our Lady of Sorrows Church a great success.
I would like to thank every one who purchased raffle and dinner tickets from me. Thanks to the merchants that were so generous in donating certificates that were used for door prizes, that were given out at the Parish Hall.
Readers of this column may recall treatises on single words and short phrases. Over the years, I've tackled individual words like "so" and its myriad meanings; "myriad," "like," "ya know" and "sorry." More recently, there was a bilingual plunge into the words "tú" and "usted."
We're not infatuated with tax increases, but we feel compelled to consider the future based on today's realities. And one of the realities the next governor will face is a serious shortage of money.
There are a lot of reasons to be concerned about this — especially in a city like Las Vegas where state-supported jobs are prevalent — not the least of which is school funding. A little sidestep last summer illustrates the looming severity of the situation.
Can you imagine if the Police Department stopped releasing information on those they arrested and, instead, said that would be the responsibility of the suspects?
Very few people would want to announce to the world that they had been arrested. That's information they'd prefer to keep secret.
But this scenario is business as usual for the New Mexico Activities Association.
Recently, a lawsuit filed by parents of the Robertson High School football team assault victims indicated that the team had been placed on probation for two years in 2006.
I am a member of the New Mexico Pediatric Society and I provide for the health of the children of Las Vegas. I am one of many pediatric colleagues from around the state who is concerned that the gubernatorial candidates address the issues that affect children and their families.
In July we submitted the following letter to both candidates. We have not yet heard a substantial reply. Again we ask them to address our concerns and we urge all New Mexicans to ask the candidates these same questions.
Dear Ms. Denish and Ms. Martinez:

Hi,I've been looking into making myself a pair of rain pants, but I'm not sure which fabric I should get. The two big outdoor fabric suppliers here seem to be http://www.profabrics.co.ukandhttp://www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk/For WPB fabrics in black, profabrics offers Skylon, which they say is similar to Pertex (not sure which kind). Pennine's WPB selection is even more vague--names like P42, P32, etc. I'm reluctant to order any of these without some advice first. I've heard Pertex soaks through pretty quickly as well. Should I just go with something not breathable to be safe? Are there any other fabric suppliers in the UK I should look at? (Or in Europe I suppose)Thanks for your help.
Alex,How much weight (grams per square meter) are you willing to carry. I did obtain one of the waterproof breathables from the UK, and it tested very waterproof by Roger Caffin; but it was on the heavy side. Please post your minimum acceptable weight, and if the above fabric meets it, I will dig up the details and post them.
Fabrics-n-stuff some times have a few decent bits an peices on offer. Cheap as well if uiu want to have a test with some fabric. What about this : http://www.fabrics-n-stuff.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=107&products_id=901&osCsid=bautj8qnucqp7hi9907e15n291Nigel
I'm not exactly sure what my limit is. I'm going to be hiking in the Dolomites--last year it rained once, but we all wished we had brought rain pants. That being said, SUL is not essential--I'm looking for good performance as well. I'm pretty new to MYOG so all these fabrics are somewhat overwhelming--not sure where to start.Perhaps this is a good choice?http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Fabrics/breathable/25-layer-laminate-Ripstop-Nylon-115g-qm::1309.htmlAnyone had experience with this fabric?
Edited by meppo on 05/01/2011 09:36:06 MDT.
The material I mentioned was from Profabrics, and is 2.3 oz per sq. yd. Roger found that with the fabric face to the water, it stayed dry to 60 kPa, or around 6000mm HH, which is very water resistant, especially for a fabric represented as waterproof breathable. It is a light greenish blue with an odd pattern in the weave, and a white inner coat. If you want, I can look through my old bills, find the stock no. or other ID, and see if they still have it on their site. But that would take quite a bit of time.
Ha, I can't really tell if you are offering or not! Yes, I would appreciate it? If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it.

Double Hung Windows
Double Hung Windows From Window Nation
Vinyl double-hung windows, our most popular replacement window models, are engineered using state-of-the-art multi-million dollar robotic equipment to make your rooms more comfortable and save you money by lowering your energy bills. While most companies only have one double hung window to choose from, Window Nation carries several premium models. Every double hung window is made with full fusion, welded frames and sashes and comes with dual operating sashes that tilt in for easy cleaning, two panes of thermally insulated glass with the Warm Edge technology Spacer System by PPG, 100% PVC virgin vinyl, fiberglass screen and a lifetime manufacturer's warranty*.
Standard, on select models, is the ultra-easy, Caldwell Stainless Steel Constant Force balance system that makes operating and cleaning your windows easier than ever. This innovative new design in window operations offers you performance and durability, superior to anything on the market today. The CFBS allows the sashes to be operated with only 22 pounds of pressure, compared with 50 pounds or more with the old spiral balancers. You'll enjoy a lifetime of unparalleled window performance as this new system exceeds a 10,000-cycle test. Rugged, quality materials, such as stainless steel, make our CFBS excellent for any climate.
Two concealed limit latches, specially designed to allow you to ventilate your home, are standard on all of our double hung windows. Most windows, depending on the width, will receive two security locks for extra protection and tightness. All windows also come standard with double and even triple weather stripping, plus up to two interlock systems to give you twice the air leakage protection.
Stop by your local Window Nation store in Cleveland, or Washington D.C., to learn more about our double-hung windows, or fill out our online form to receive a free pricing estimate!
*Limited lifetime warranty will vary by manufacturer and may provide exclusions. Window Nation carries window models from several manufacturers and all warranties are available upon request

APA article on Existential-Humanistic psychology prominently features Saybrook faculty, alumni, and students
"Searching for Meaning" is the first article in the flagship publication of the American Psychological Association to specifically examine Existential-Humanistic Psychology -- and it features interviews with Saybrook faculty Kirk Schneider and Orah Krug, along with the published work of PhD student Elliot Benjamin.
It also clearly illustrates why Existential and Humanistic psychology are returning to prominence: treating the symptoms of depression, malaise, and insecurity are often not enough. A healthy life involves the search for meaning and purpose -- something medically oriented psychology cannot provide.
As the intellectual home of Existential-Humanistic psychology since its inception (the article mentions that it was founded in large part by Rollo May and Abraham Maslow -- both of whom taught at Saybrook at its founding), Saybrook is proud to be part of this crucial recognition of why it matters that psychologists be able to work with their patients as people, and not just lists of symptoms.
Faculty member Kirk Schneider has written a brief comment on the APA article on The New Existentialists, where the APA Monitor article is also available as a PDF.

Andersen Windows, Inc. is facing a number of class action lawsuits alleging that the company's 400 Series Tilt wash vinyl-clad windows are defective. According to the suits, water can pool between the windows' panes, which can lead to mold growth, rotting, decay and overall failure of the windows. The lawsuits are seeking to provide homeowners with compensation for repair and replacement costs, labor and supplies, and damaged personal property.
If you have Andersen's 400 Series Tilt Wash vinyl-clad windows installed on your property, ClassAction.org would like to hear about the problems you've experienced. Fill out this form today to get in contact with us. You may be entitled to compensation.
The class actions claim that a design and/or manufacturing defect in the windows can allow moisture, such as rain and snow, to leak into the windows and the property on which they were installed.
When water leaks in from the outside, it can collect between the panes of the windows. As a result, mold can grow and the windows may begin rotting prematurely, resulting in an overall failure of the windows. Unfortunately, the alleged defect may affect more than just the windows themselves.
Consumers have complained that they had to replace and/or repair curtains, drapes, shades, blinds, valances, walls, studs, siding, trim and other property as a result of the leaking windows. The lawsuits claim that homeowners have spent or will need to spend thousands of dollars to remove the windows and replace and repair damages items. According to the suits, had consumers known about the defect, they would not have bought the windows, would have had the chance to negotiate a lower buying price for their property, or could have bargained to have the windows replaced before buying their property.
Consumers have taken to the internet to express their frustrations with the windows leaking, rotting and otherwise failing to perform as expected. The following is a sample of these complaints [sic throughout]:
"The air infiltration on the other hand is a real problem. These windows are drafty and there is no way to change that. You don't want to spend thousands of dollars for new windows to have a cold family and these windows just don't provide a good seal. After observing these windows for a few months I can't recommend them. Our good friend will be replacing these relatively new wood windows with another model that gets a much tighter seal."
"I spent a small fortune in 2000 with Andersen Windows on a new home built the same year. I just found [1/13/13] that 10 of the double hung windows in the home had rot on the inside wood-not the outside-all in the lower left corner of the lower sash. I contacted Andersen today to find out that the windows were manufactured in 1999 and therefore their warranty on the windows is only ten year-20 years on the glass- therefore there is no fix for these rotting windown other than to replace them at my cost… The double hung windows are essentially junk and all in the same location. The other writings on the net indicate that the problem is how the window is constructed in allowing a water leak from the outside into the inside and therefore the rot occurring on the inside and not on the outside. The people at Andersen are polite but of no help."
"We caught water in buckets in our basement for three years from windows on the second story while we tried to figure out where the leaks were. It was in all cases the windows leaking at the bottom corners. They have always leaked air and we have learned to sleep with the noise of the rattling screens on those windy nights. For about the last four years I have watched the north sash on the living room window literally ROT away. You can see it from the road. I can just about put my hand throughit. Tonight I was called to the kitchen to tilt the sash in for cleaning and a part of the sash FELL OFF because it has been rotting inside. My only option is to buy one sash at a time as they rot as cannot afford to replace all the windows in the house at once. If the seal were broken and moisture collects between the glass that is covered for 20 years and would come with the wood sash I need. Everything else is covered for only 10 years."
The lawsuits are seeking to:

Christie Says N.J. 'Careening Toward Becoming Greece'
Posted By admin On May 26, 2010 @ 8:24 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled

May 26, 2010
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said the state is "careening our way toward becoming Greece" and can't afford the cost of benefits and pensions for current workers.
The governor, speaking today to members of the Manhattan Institute, said his state must reduce its tax burden and control government spending. He has proposed a constitutional amendment to cap growth in property taxes, the main source of funding for schools and towns, at 2.5 percent a year.
"Higher taxes are not going to solve the problem," said Christie, a Republican who took office Jan. 19. "We've got to change the course."

1900: I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes, you wish it was summer. Summer comes, you live in dread of winter. That's why you never tire of traveling or chasing some place far away, where it's always summer. Doesn't sound like a good bet to me.
1900: All that city... You just couldn't see an end to it. The end! Please, could you show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway and I was grand, too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure and I had no doubts about getting off. Guaranteed. That wasn't a problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. Can you understand that? What I didn't see. In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was everything. But there wasn't an end. What I couldn't see was where all that came to an end. The end of the world. Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently. They are not infinite, you are infinite. And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. But you get me up on that gangway and roll out a keyboard with millions of keys, and that's the truth, there's no end to them, that keyboard is infinite. But if that keyboard is infinite there's no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano. Christ, did you see the streets? There were thousands of them! How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends. Aren't you scared of just breaking apart just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it? I was born on this ship. The world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than could fit on a ship, between prow and stern. You played out your happiness on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful. It's a voyage too long. Perfume too strong. It's music I don't know how to make. I can't get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, it's as though I never existed. You're the exception, Max. You're the only one who knows that I'm here. You're a minority. You'd better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend. But I'm not getting off.
