by J. Christian Watts at Jack and Jill Politics
Wow, OK. I wasn't going to post until tonight, but Howard Fineman, usually one of the best and brightest, over at the Huffington Post, wrote the following:
"After an hour-and-a-half flight and two cups of coffee, I knew this: The fellow was as vivid an explanation as there could be for why President Barack Obama is in the fight of his life against the newly nominated Republican ticket.
My seatmate (whose name I can't use because his employer would have fits if he spoke publicly) is a 44-year-old African-American Army vet and married man. He describes himself as apolitical but is a registered Republican who reads national newspapers on his iPhone."
Sooooooo, a black republican is somehow typical of Dems? Typical of the President's base? Shocking, a black republican is not going to vote for the President. How, Mr. Fineman, is this reflective of the community mindset and turnout of minorities around the country? What normally happens here, after my head explodes, is that I decide to walk away. I decide, the media elites don't get it, and that, often, white writers simply don't get black people at all, probably because the only ones they seem to know they meet on short plane rides.
Today is different, mostly because today I'm working at JJP (Jack and Jill Politics) and I have the space actually to engage in a little frustrated rant.
When something like this happens my first thought is, Howard Fineman can kiss my ass. My second thought is — Howard Fineman doesn't know any black people. At all.
However, Howard Fineman is from South West PA; I know he knows more black people than the person on the plane. Yet he has decided, for whatever reason, that this guy typifies issues with and about the President.
BET ran a poll recently and the information in it isn't all that complicated or surprising. Except, I guess to Fineman. Feel free to look at the whole break down; I'll give you the highlights:
They blame republicans, and, they should. The poll doesn't explicitly say that is whom they blame. However, I really wanted to add that into my argument, my meme, so what I did was employ the same methodology Fineman used for his piece. I asked a black person sitting next to me what he thought.
I am pleased to tell you all that it is safe to report that one black person sitting next to me believes that republicans have blocked all means of economic stimulus in an effort to win an election and unseat the first black president. Shocking? Not so much. Know why? Because it is absolutely true.
The GOP came in in 2008, shell-shocked. They believed, incorrectly, that the majority of America was too racist to vote for President Obama. They thought he'd lose. But, because they too it seems get their information from a lone black guy, Mike Steele in this case, they assumed that it was only the economy that did it. That President Obama wouldn't be good at the job. Then he began rolling them up like Alabama rolled up Michigan.
And, panic set in.
Rush, Mitch and the others
Suddenly, the Rush Limbaugh tag line, "I hope he fails," seemed less funny and more urgent.
Suddenly, the President passing a sophisticated, shockingly powerful, stimulus bill, (Read The New New Deal for a critique of the Stim bill that will explain why the GOP panicked) Credit Card Reform, Student Loan Reform, scared them. With able partners in Pelosi and a surprisingly deft Reid, it appeared that this white house was going to pass its entire eight year agenda in two years. They almost made it. (Also, check out Please Cut the Crap's Blog on the 200 accomplishments of President Obama.)
Mitch McConnell had to slow down the President and he enlisted every trick in the book. Helped by conservative Dems like Ben Nelson, Max Baucus – though Sen. Baucus changed his tune and started pulling his weight after August 2009 – and of course Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln, Evan Bayh, progress began to slow. But President Obama, in a brilliant lame duck session finished much of what he started and got almost everything, the DREAM Act failed at the last minute, but DADT repeal passed.
Black people ain't stupid
What Mr. Fineman doesn't get, or doesn't care to get, is that black people aren't stupid. And, this is what is going on in the media. White journalists seem convinced that black people are abandoning the President. How many new articles are there today that state the same meme? Dems are abandoning the President, Blacks, are, Women are… well, this just in — President Obama has 3.1 individual contributors. That is individual distinct people giving money. That is 100,000 more people than in 2008. When this kind of disconnect is pointed out to the media, that people maybe be less dancing in the streets than 2008 but are solid for the President, they go seeking any disgruntled person they can find in order to "prove," that black people are abandoning the President.
Let me make this quick sports analogy. The backup quarterback is the most popular guy in town. He never has to play, and no matter how good the starter is people can find fault because no one is perfect. Mitt Romney is the back up QB. He seems popular, but in reality, it is just that he hasn't had to take the field. This week, the Dems get to put Mitt Romney and his record in play. The debates are the same thing.
Black people haven't abandoned the President. Our unemployment remains stubbornly high for two reasons; the GOP contracted State Government by refusing to support a second stimulus. (though they will absolutely push one through if they win in Nov) and blacks are disproportionately represented in public sector jobs. The GOP has gutted everything from police, to teachers, to postal workers, nurses, firefighters, municipal employees of all sorts.

After reading the article and then the enormity of some of the comments, I'll simply say Thanks!
@Sarah writes I don't really understand why this is so. The unemployment rate for blacks is about 15%, for black young people it is almost 50%.
Maybe Sarah because that is what the rates of unemployment for blacks as been for the last 20 years. You might want to do some research before you make such a statement.
@Sarah writes The first black members of congress were Republicans while the Democrats were forming the KKK.
Right and what is the current year? Is it 1865 or 2012? What happened to the democratic party of the south when the Civil Rights Acts were passed? They fled and became Republicans. You might want to do some research before you make such a statement.
Amazing! Learn the real facts not the propaganda! Not only Black Voters are sticking with Obama!

Justin, thanks that was an excellent video of the Jon Stewart show with Herman Cain.
Natalie S., don't be too concerned by the 'brains haven't developed in the young' thing -
EVERYONE's brain develops in different areas depending on how much it's used for
things relating to different brain sectors, and yes, there's an actual size difference
in the brain of someone before and after studying, say, math for a while - and if that
brain area is unused, it'll actually diminish again in size over time.
Decision-making skills are developed through USE, and if children/young people are
too often prevented from making decisions appropriate to their age group whether
by circumstances or by over-protectiveness or whatever that
area of the brain won't begin to develop much until it finally IS being used.
SO sick of phoney/bad 'science'...
(And don't even ask about my excuse for a brain, lol, I'm too tired to think of one!)
(continued - puter still weird, hoping my brother will fix it soon...0
Or he simply hadn't come up with anything as his dead-line approached and just wrote
whatever about the election, based on a chat during a plane trip, lol.
Dividing people up into different groups regarding just about every
difference imaginable probably seems perfectly normal to people growing up with it,
but I do feel that it has an effect in continuing divisions along these lnes.
Social factors play a role in determining our perceptions, and we are the
sum of our experiences, whichever direction we or they lead us.
So the more propaganda to which we're subjected, the more likely it is to affect us
at a level so deep that we don't even notice it.
And the US has been subjected to a lot - surprising, really, that so many decent,
well-informed people really are...

Text: John 3:14-16
Theme: The Antidote
Date: November 9, 2003; Friendship Sunday; Third Last Sunday in the Church Year
How joyful it is when a congregation has visitors, as we do today. On this Friendship Sunday, I would to like to welcome each visitor among us, whether you were personally invited, or just happen to be here today. Not all visitors are alike, however. Some are just there because someone invited them. Others, however, others are there because they are religious seekers. They are interested, curious, about God, and want to know more about him. They are open to the reality of God in their lives, but they have questions. They are seeking. Seeking God. Seeking truth. Seeking answers.
I wanted to devote this sermon to such seekers. So I chose a sermon text in which Jesus himself spoke to a religious seeker. That seeker was Nicodemus. Most of John 3 describes Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, the Pharisee. Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. Nicodemus visited at night because he had questions about Jesus. He was curious. Something about Jesus attracted him. I've chosen John 3,14-16 as the sermon text. because in these verses Jesus presented to Nicodemus, simply, yet profoundly, what he and the Christian faith are all about. Let's listen to the words of Jesus:
"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:14-16).
The first thing that Jesus said to Nicodemus was, "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up." What Nicodemus probably understood, but many of us don't, is that Jesus was referring to a remarkable event in the Old Testament, when God healed his people through a bronze serpent on a pole. This story is in Numbers 21:4-9. To understand Jesus' words to Nicodemus, you need to understand Numbers 21.
As they marched through the wasteland that goes by the name of the Sinai Peninsula, the people bitterly criticized God and Moses. They complained. They were hungry. They were thirsty. They were tired. And they detested, they loathed the manna God had given them to eat. So they ridiculed God's wisdom and mercy. They rejected God's provision as woefully inadequate. "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?" "What a stupid plan. What was the point if we're going to die of hunger anyway?"
It needs to be remembered, however, that it was their fault, not God's, that they had such a miserable condition in the wilderness. For when God had been ready to lead them into the Promised Land, they had refused to go, because they were afraid that the inhabitants of the land would kill them. So they had rebelled against God and Moses and tried to return to Egypt. In his anger God punished them. Because they had refused to trust in the Lord, and rebelled against Moses' leadership, no adult above 20 years old would enter the Promised Land. They would wander in the wilderness for 40 years until the last of them had died. Then their children would enter.
So it was their fault that they were still in a dreary wilderness, not God's. Now back to the story in Numbers 21. To punish their sinful complaining God sent poisonous snakes to bite the people. These were probably asps, a very venomous snake (see Deut 32:33 where Moses speaks of "the cruel venom of asps" (ESV)). Many died when the snakes bit them. Many more were dying.
Reeling from God's punishment, the people admitted their guilt to Moses: they confessed their sin and cried out for mercy: "We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us." The surprising thing is that the people do not ask Moses to pray for healing, but for the removal of the snakes (which were still in the camp biting people; otherwise why ask?). God, however, as He often does, did far more than they asked.
Moses did pray to the LORD and God answered him: "The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." Moses did as God had commanded: "So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived."
God provided the means of rescue in the image of the very creature that brought death and sickness. A bronze snake, one that looked exactly like the poisonous snakes that were killing them, was to be placed on a signal pole, a standard, probably on some hill or place of high elevation so that it is visible to all. Then God attached a promise to this snake on a pole: "Anyone bitten, who looks at the snake, they will live (they shall be healed, the poison shall not kill them).
God is severe in his judgment and punishment of sin. But he is wonderfully merciful in his forgiveness and cure of that sin. It was impossible for them to heal themselves. All that was required was to look at the venomous snake on the poll. No doubt many of those bitten were near death, practically unable to move. All that was required was that they turn their heads and look. God didn't require that they sacrifice at the tabernacle, do penance for days, pray for hours, do many good works, before he would heal them. Nothing was required, except to turn the head and look at the snake on the poll. It was that easy.
A person had to have faith in God's promise before they would look, however. They had to believe that what God had promised would come true. Otherwise, why bother to look? For example one of those dying could have thought to himself, "So there is a snake on a signal pole. So what? I'm dying in agony and Moses is busy making a snake on a pole. How foolish! How worthless! Why doesn't God or Moses do something to save me!" Such a person would have died in agony, for the snake on the poll was God's chosen method of salvation and healing no matter how odd it seemed. There was no other method. Only the one who believed what God promised about the snake on a pole would look, be healed, and live.
Now we are in a position to understand Jesus' words to Nicodemus in John 3. "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up," Jesus says. He is talking about his crucifixion. This is exactly what would happen in a typical crucifixion. The condemned person was laid down flat on the horizontal crosspiece, and their hands were nailed to the crosspiece. Then the crosspiece, with the crucified person nailed to it, was lifted up with ropes, and attached to the vertical piece; finally, the condemned man's feet were nailed to the vertical piece. All this happened to Jesus when he was crucified. He was literally lifted up when he was nailed to the cross, just like the bronze snake on the pole.
It is also noteworthy that Jesus said, "the Son of Man must be lifted up." Jesus often referred to himself as the "Son of Man" to emphasize that He, the eternal Son of God, was also true man - fully human. How fitting! In Numbers 21, snakes had brought death to the Israelites, so a snake was used to bring life to them. Long before that, however, a man (Adam) had brought sin into the world (Genesis 3; Romans 5:12-21), so a man (a sinless man) was used to bring life and healing. "For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous" (Rom 5:19).
Now comes the promise: "that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." The reason that Jesus was lifted up on the cross and crucified was to bring healing and eternal life to all. Just as God attached a promise to the bronze snake on the signal pole, so Jesus attaches a promise to his crucifixion. Everyone who believes in him will be healed of the poison of their sin and death, and live eternally! Everyone who says in their heart, "Yes I believe that the healing of my sin and eternal life comes through Jesus who was lifted up and died on the cross for me," will be healed, forgiven, saved from eternal death, and given life eternal in heaven.
Believing is trusting in God's promise. Those who trusted God's promise through Moses about the bronze snake were healed, lived rather than died. In the same way, those who believe, who trust God's promise about Jesus on the cross, will also be spiritually healed. They will live (eternally) rather than die (eternally) Just as looking and believing went hand in hand in the wilderness, so they do for us. As our Lord said in John 6:40, "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
Jesus says, "everyone who believes." This little word "everyone" is amazingly comforting. The healing, forgiveness, and eternal life that Jesus came to bring is available to everyone. There are no exceptions. Everyone, no matter how severe their sin, no matter how wicked their past, can receive spiritual healing, life, and forgiveness, by believing that such spiritual healing, life, and forgiveness come only through Jesus who was lifted up on the cross for them.
Now comes John 3:16, one of the most famous and beloved of all Bible verses: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Perhaps you've been watching a football game on TV, and have seen someone holding up a sign that said, "John 3:16." Such Christians are trying to arouse curiosity so that people will look up the verse and read it themselves. This is all well and good; but John 3:16 really can be understood only when one knows and understands John 3:14-15. And John 3:14-15 can be understood only when one understands the story of the bronze snake on a pole to which Jesus refers. You are in a position to understand John 3:16. God in his incredible love for everyone in the world, not wanting any to die of the spiritual poison of sin, gave his Son, to be crucified on the pole of the cross, that everyone who believes in him, who believes the promise that He alone is God's antidote for the poison of sin, shall not perish, die eternally, but have eternal life.
The Israelites who looked to the bronze snake and believed received their physical life back again. But all those who look to the crucified Jesus and believe in him receive eternal life, a perfect, sinless life in heaven that will never end.
None of this makes any sense, of course, unless you first believe that all people, including yourself, are dying of the poison of sin. Yet this is the very thing that God says in his Word: "There is no one righteous, not even one. No one is good. No one seeks for God. Together they are worthless . . . For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:10-12, 23). In another place Jesus says, "For unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins" (John 8:24).
In the wilderness, those who had been bitten and poisoned knew it; they knew they were dying. They felt the horrible symptoms. Unfortunately, such is the not the case with the poison of sin. The sickness of sin usually can't be felt, though there are extreme situations when it can (e.g., drug addiction). The only way to know that you are dying from the sickness of sin, is to believe what the Law of God tells you. For God does not lie. Those who choose denial, who refuse to accept the verdict of God's Word about their impending death, will die the second death.
So God invites you through me: "You are dying of the sickness of sin. Turn, before it is too late and look and believe the promise that God makes to you about Jesus, who was crucified for you. If you do, if you believe that Jesus alone is God's antidote for the poison of sin, you will be healed, forgiven, and given life life eternal. Now is the time. Look and believe before it is too late.
By the way, Nicodemus did just that. He looked to and believed in the crucified Jesus on the pole of the cross and was healed. The seeker became a follower. But whether you are consciouly seeking or not it ultimately doesn't matter. What matters is that God is seeking you. And he is. In fact, that may be the reason that you are here today. Amen.

Chrysler Sales Near 1.5-Million Mark; Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee On Top
Wow, the Rentabu is flopping hard.
While not the only factor as far as Volt is concerned... Volt production stopped in order to start the production of the new Impala and just started again near the end of November (I believe).
Wow! $750.00 per unit higher! That's an extra $139,878,750.00 more $$$!! When GM said they would focus more on profit and less on sales, it looks like they werent kidding.
you can have a "winner" that sold less than 300 copies in a month?
Well, at GM thinks are back to normal. i.e on it's way to another bailout. However, they are still in luck, they are leash on life just got extended for 4 more years.
Whenever GM can't move that iron, time to call the fleet dept.....STAT!
The Volt and Leaf were in a dead heat for the month, both at 1500
Cruze should be doing 20k a month, so a down month there.
Silverado is getting eaten alive by the surging Ram, and the F-150 has it by 2:1 now.
Malibu is flopping like a carp in a boat, at 10k a month
The ATS is showing signs of life, up to 2100, but it took about 1000 sales from the CTS, so how much it's really helping is questionable.
Equinox sales are growing nicely
Buick LaCrosse was down about 1000 sales too. But Spark sales cancel that out.
That all equals a no-growth month.....
Don't blow your load just yet, grasshopper.
You don't know how much they raised incentives to get those higher transaction prices, do you?
There are many parts to this shell game. Higher transaction prices don't necessarily mean higher profits.....
@Black Dynamite Have to admit your analogies are kind of hilarious...
@Black Dynamite @SHTNONU
You can try to twist it up anyway you want but seriously, C'MON MAN!!
@Black Dynamite @SHTNONU BD, your opinions (on other than Toyota) are always offensive and bad mouthing. That's not the best way to spread your ideas, but super fooking annoying.
@Wafflez @Black Dynamite Don't feed the troll.
@Wafflez @Black Dynamite
What do you mean "kind of"?
Real mature BD. The more you post the more you look like a 5 year old
child. Also...why don't you cry about it is a horrible
comeback...something a 5 year old child says....your getting on
everyone's nerves.
@Black Dynamite @mynamehere @SHTNONU
I'm with these guys, I get super offended when everyone doesn't agree with me and we all get to circle around each other and e-high five all afternoon!
@mynamehere @Black Dynamite @SHTNONU
Why don't you cry about it?

DNR's Land Conservation
Data and Monitoring
The Importance of Data:
DNR's land acquisition, land planning and land management functions are all dependent on maintaining accurate, detailed and current information about properties that DNR owns or is working to conserve. DNR collects an enormous range of data for use in various programs. Data that is collected and analyzed for decision making purposes by natural resource professionals includes: onsite ecological and environmental features, habitat identification and delineation, water resources, tributary strengths and weaknesses, endangered species, soils and strata, wildlife populations, tree cover, and many others attributes.
Management and maintenance of land parcel data is critical to the work of the Land Acquisition and Planning Unit staff. As data resources and management improve, so can the decisions for wise use and conservation of our natural resources made by staff and administrators. Access to up-to-date parcel data also helps facilitate the Governor's goal of making State government more transparent.
Recently DNR's Information Technology Services team developed a modern database product for Program Open Space Stateside land conservation that allows staff to enter parcel information from anywhere via a Web interface. The data is digitally updated on the main servers in the DNR Headquarters building in Annapolis and is readily shared for joint reviews by other agencies.
Stewardship and Monitoring:
The State of Maryland has made significant investments toward the preservation of Maryland's best remaining landscapes, natural and critical areas throughout the State. It is the responsibility of the DNR to protect the State's fiduciary investment in land conservation for the citizens of Maryland.
When the State holds full title to the land, as in a State Park or Forest, land managers within DNR protect its use and monitor it for encroachment. In cases where DNR doesn't own all the rights to a particular parcel of land, but has paid to protect certain aspects of a site by purchasing a portion of the rights, encroachment and change of use is less likely to be discovered. Therefore, periodic monitoring of conserved properties is critical
Conservation Easements are tracked and monitored on a regular basis so that the intended conservation purposes are continued over time and through subsequent land owners. Easement terms and conditions are reviewed for compliance and to ensure that best conservation practices are being upheld. Easement Monitoring is a high priority of the DNR. LAP personnel have been charged with additional duties to assure the conservation efforts that have been done stay done and that our valuable natural resources, rural and open space remain protected and preserved for future generations.
Interestingly, DNR is in the process of developing a computer map-based Easement Monitoring system that will enable land managers to visually pre-screen from the office any of the over 500,000 acres of land that DNR owns or that has easements. This office-based review will allow managers to quickly and efficiently examine land using computerized aerial maps and other pertinent data. Managers and field staff can then prioritize actual field visits based on most urgent need. This system when complete will be used by other agencies as well.

Thi event will explore innovation and disruption in urban mobility. There have been many new forms of mobility emerging in the urban transportation environment. This has led to increased traveler choice and controversy among the new entrants and existing service providers. Much of this can be attributed to external forces (e.g., rise in smartphones, decrease in driver's license rates, socio-demographic changes, and recent economic decline), as well as the sharing economy (access to goods and services, which are rented or loaned, in contrast to ownership).
This unique summit will bring together leading experts, academics, practitioners, industry stakeholders and advocates to discuss the rapidly changing and expanding world of transportation technology innovative solutions and public policy-making implications.
Presentations are welcome to explore how cutting-edge intelligent transportation systems, big data aggregation, and innovative transportation technology solutions promote efficiency, safety, security and sustainability goals, as well as the impact on broader inter-modal and multi-modal transportation considerations.

Mackinac Center President Joseph G. Lehman is cited in a column previewing tonight's State of the State address at The Michigan View.
Lehman called Gov. Rick Snyder's first term in office the "best year for reform since Gov. Engler's first term."
The column, by Henry Payne of The Detroit News, draws a comparison between Gov. Snyder and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, noting that the former praised the latter as a role model when introducing him at "An Evening with the Mackinac Center" in Lansing last November.

Here at -- -- which is really it's it's the training show in the United States. We we -- -- and we bring tools and we support all of -- hands on training has to do with -- -- box heavy heavy vehicle and automobile. We also as a manufacturer we provide. Several different. Products that are that are geared towards. Training on basic expectation for the rescue so -- we've always some believe that education is is a big part of what we do. So not only are you the nation's leading supplier of tools you'll through nation's leading supplier was very -- Agassi to say that. We're back with very Barbosa a -- when we first talked with little bit about. More technology and what we're technology evolved out. What exactly is -- -- account. -- -- technology it stands for co axial rescue equipment and what we've done is we've always been a company known for innovation. We try to make the tools easier and better for the rest you're using one of considered problems as always remember that's when my system the sequence of coupling -- on coupling. So what we -- is -- created a system now -- -- -- to connect to both the pressure and the return line in one stroke. Automatically locks and and when I disconnect I can disconnect and reconnect. Under flows like -- quickly and easily change between two -- excuse. For having. To shut things down like we used to -- rescue tools to make that switch we want to do that. No not if you have -- technology. So it's really important on the rescue scene that you focus. Really on the education -- going on and on your patient not so much on the hydraulic system that you're dealing with them. And it's and from a training standpoint as well you spend a lot of time on the traditional two line system.

Photo Gallery: Byron's last day
Scores of Hawaii residents said goodbye today to a drive-in restaurant that's been open for 47 years.
Customers stood in long lines for hours at Byron's Drive-In near the Honolulu International Airport on its last day of business for their final bite of the popular shrimp burger and other favorite foods, along with a slush drink.
The restaurant was also popular for its burgers slathered with customer-favorite red or yellow sauces.
It's scheduled to close at 10 p.m., or when the food runs out.
The family of the late founder Andy Y.Y. Wong said the restaurant lease to the property ended and the landowner plans to redevelop it.
Byron's is the last remaining eatery owned by the companies launched by the late Andy Wong and wife Marian in 1954, when they bought Leon's Tavern in Kailua.

A better result for the Sooners this week means better grades. Still improvement is needed in a couple areas, most notably run defense and play calling.
Oklahoma football report card: Sooners' trick plays, pass defense earn high marks
A punt block that led to a safety. A wide receiver pass that worked like a charm. The Sooners were so good at the trickeration against the Jayhawks that it begged a question — where was it a week ago? Sure, the Sooners might've thought they were in a more desperate situation when they found themselves trailing early to the lowly Jayhawks, but they were losing to the hated Longhorns a week ago. Why not take a few chances then?
It's one thing for the Texas run game to go up and down the field. But the Kansas run game? The Jayhawks had 118 yards rushing at the end of the first quarter. Sure, the Sooners shored some things up and held the Jayhawks to only 67 yards rushing in the last three quarters, but that's why the Sooners earned a C instead of something worse. Had they been playing a more capable team Saturday, their poor run defense early might've cost them.
Kansas had 16 yards passing. Enough said.
Not perfect, but not bad either. The Sooner quarterback was 15 of 25 for 131 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He threw the ball better, but he stood in the pocket too long a couple times and missed some open guys, including a painfully wide open Aaron Ripkowski on a play that resulted in an interception. But perhaps the best sign for Bell was that he ran the ball well, picking up 53 yards on 10 carries. He showed that he's still able to pick up some yards with his legs, and that might give offensive coordinator Josh Heupel more confidence in calling his number.
The wide receiver pass was a smashing success, a 49-yard touchdown pass from Lacoltan Bester to Sterling Shepard that swung momentum permanently in OU's favor. Heupel also called several shorter passes that got, then kept Bell going. But Heupel still had some not-so-good moments. OU's second possession was three consecutive passes and punt. It was bad enough that former Sooner receiver Kenny Stills said on Twitter, "Horrendous play calling." And on short yardage situations, there is still no use of the Belldozer. Even though the Sooners were solid on third down Saturday, why not use the power package and try to pick up a few more?

In a musical landscape increasingly defined by ironic worship and cheap shock-value packaging, the Australian folk duo Luluc feel like something of an authenticated rarity. They got the knowing thumbs-up of legendary producer Joe Boyd (known for his work with Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, R.E.M. and the Nike Drake tribute record Luluc appeared on last year). Add to that an admirably stubborn (and often antithetical, for folk music) inability to produce music that doesn't make one either fall asleep or weep uncontrollably, and Luluc's sophomore effort, Passerby, is guaranteed to slowly breath some fresh air into your possibly jaded and/or worn-out ear canals.
Which isn't to imply that their sound is at all antiquated. Luluc's strumming ruminations are brilliantly sprinkled with the seasonings of late sixties/early seventies singer songwriterness (lead singer Zoe Randell's vocals sound like an impossibly compressed blend of Joni Mitchell and Nico), but are constructed with their own darkly unique and unsettlingly agile sensibility.
With the instrumental and vocal assistance of Steve Hasset, Randell's unadorned rhymes point to the overlooked beauty in daily life (leaves changing, walking schoolchildren, old streets) that is often hidden from us in plain sight. In the same way that Van Morrison's Astral Weeks managed to explode with images of essentially nothing save for childhood stomping grounds and suburban scenery, Randell's songs turn the trivialities of our daily lives into something so delicately painted and so passionately delineated, that they are almost unrecognizably real.
Take Winter Is Passing, which details the changes of a tree ("All the trees without their leaves/tap each other in the cold breeze"); or the five-minute standout Tangled Heart, which finds Randell watching "the kids leave from school/little bags falling down their backs." The track is produced, along with the rest of the album, by The National's Aaron Dessner, and it features fitting musical appearances from Bon Iver and Beirut for a rare moment of breezy instrumentation that subtly overpowers Randell's vocals even.
In the same way that big-label bands like Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers have experienced unlikely success amidst endless club hits and Skrillex-y refrains, Luluc is (if on a much smaller scale), fitting comfortably into a music scene in need of occasional tranquilizing. Essentially, Luluc is, for however briefly, allowing us to patiently sit, listen and not immediately forget the music we're being presented with. Their tactics may be minimalist, and their sound may at first feel archaic, but sometimes pure ingenuity is all musicians really need to be noticed.

CUMBERLAND – Until about the midway point of Wednesday night's Division I opener against host Cumberland, nothing seemed to fall for Diandra DaRosa.
But once the St. Raphael Academy sophomore got her shooting touch, there was no stopping her.
The talented point guard, who starred for Tolman last year, tossed in a game-high 29 points, including 22 in the second half as the Saints earned their first league win in nearly two years with a 61-51 victory over the Clippers at the Wellness Center.
It wasn't all DaRosa last night as her teammates managed to keep pace with the speedy and gutsy Clippers early in the game when their top player couldn't get things going offensively. The Saints also had strong outings from a few other players, such as sophomore Lauren Gaj (nine points) and junior Emily Millar (nine points)
But DaRosa certainly was the spark, and SRA head coach Fred Lashley-Saunders couldn't be any happier with his newest addition. During last year's magical run by Tolman, DaRosa teamed with recently-graduated standout Leanna Fanning to carry the Tigers all the way to the Division II semifinals.
"Right now she is the heart and the rock of our team," Lashley-Saunders said. "She is really brought a certain toughness that we lacked the last few years. What we saw today is the will and determination on her part and what it does is it really brings out the confidence in the other kids on the team."
Cumberland, which lost three starters from last year's playoff team and also had five of its juniors decide not to play this year, was led by 17 points from senior Ali DeHertogh. Senior Teammate Kelsey Cahill chipped in 15.
With a dozen points coming from DeHertogh, the Clippers led the Saints by a slim 28-25 margin at halftime. It was soon after, though, that DaRosa started to heat up.
She didn't score her first basket until hitting the first of two free throws with 7:22 left in the first half. DaRosa scored seven of her team's final nine points in the initial half and then carried the momentum when the two teams returned to the floor for the final half. The most damaging spurt came with a little more than three minutes left in the game.
After the Clippers got within a point of the Saints, at 50-49, on a 15-footer from freshman Kaitlin Engels, DaRosa netted seven unanswered points in the next 40 seconds to put her teammates ahead by eight (57-49), beginning with her third 3-pointer of the night and a pair of hard drives to the hoop.
That quick offensive explosion appeared to drain the final energy out of the Clippers, who mustered just two free throws the remainder of the way.
"We knew prior to the game that she left Tolman to come to Saints and was a quality player," said Cumberland coach Deb Engels, about DaRosa. "We tried to contain her and put someone on her. I don't think it really worked so we switched back. She played a good game and they are a good squad. I haven't seen them play so early in the season so I didn't know what to expect. (Lashley-Saunders) has some weapons. We don't have a lot of height so we try to counter that with speed and hustle and other things that have to help us."
Saints earned the victory a year removed from finishing 0-15 last year.
"(Last year) was just a growing year for us," Lashley-Saunders said. "We were young. We had some key injuries that really affected our team. Nonetheless, our team stayed strong. We worked really hard this summer so that hopefully what happened last year would never happen again. And we've gotten better. We have gotten younger and better."
The Clippers, who were 8-7 last year and lost to South Kingstown in the Div. I quarterfinals, demonstrated throughout the game that their primary strength right now is underneath the hoop. Cumberland (1-1 overall) has some quality outside shooters in Cahill, a four-year starter, and senior Carlynn Smith (eight points on Wednesday), but so far most of its offense comes in close proximity to the hoop.
Engels is confident that aspect will improve as the season progresses with her young and dedicated squad.
"I got a whole new crew," she said. "I had five juniors that didn't come back and graduated three seniors. I am down eight people and scrambling and looking to see who I'll put on varsity. Every practice we work on things for everybody to get better. It's kind of what we have to do. We have to do it as a team."
I have seen a lot of good things," she added. "We hustle. We run the floor well. We look for each other. We talk. Those are some huge things we haven't had in a while."
SAINTS (61) – Diandra DaRosa 9 8-8 29, Samantha Ferreira 3 0-0 6, Lauren Gaj 4 1-4 9, Rebecca Gonzalez 1 0-0 2, Emily Millar 4 0-0 9, Stephanie Stuttard 1 0-0 2. Totals – 19 9-12 61

As of Tuesday, May 14, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
While many consider Common Core State Standards a national movement, opposition mounts. For classroom teachers, it feels like federal intrusion.
Common core advocates argue the national curriculum will give American history teachers an opportunity to use primary sources in the classroom.
But common core opponents from Brunswick to Athens share Fordham Institute evidence showing Georgia's performance standards, particularly in math and English/language arts, on par if not better than Common Core, which begs the question: If true, then why does Georgia lag behind most states on indicators of student performance?
Despite being crammed into AP classes, Georgia student AP pass rates remain unremarkable, with most science, language, history, and math pass rates below 50 percent based on College Board's 9th annual AP report to the nation in 2012.
Stanford's James Milgram, the only mathematician on the Common Core Validation Committee, refused to sign off on common core math standards, arguing they leave students two grade levels behind their international counterparts in math by grade 8.
But opponents could be worried about those primary texts. For whose version of history will go down in textbooks for future scholars under nationalized curriculum? Which one of the 11-times-revised and terror-scrubbed Benghazi talking points constitutes a primary source? And will acts of terror translate into spontaneous reactions to low-budget YouTube videos, while Fort Hood emerges in the annals of workplace violence?
Will historical fact become revisionist editorial, hand-crafted by disciples of D.C., men from GSA hot tubs, talking heads of Solyndra, or Kool-Aid drinkers of the western world where "war on terror" goes down as "manmade disaster" and "kinetic military action," while foreign leaders spout derision at a weak-kneed global apologist who announced in 2008 that America is "no longer a Christian nation."
Will historians get Putin's argument for American idiocy correct?
"Any fourth-grade history student," Putin proclaimed in 2009, "knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history. President Obama and his fellow Democrats are either idiots or deliberately trying to destroy their own economy."
Will this fit a national curriculum?
Who will tell the story of an American peace through strength? Will it be Washington sycophants, drenched in a culture of capitulation to Moscow on missile defense, deference to Iran on broadened weapons programs and polarization of Israeli allies, who sanitize historical texts for future scholars seeking a grip on unprecedented cowardice in U.S. leadership?
Noted educator Diane Ravitch's opposition to Common Core takes a different premise. Common Core standards, per Ravitch, "are being imposed on the children of this nation despite the fact that no one has any idea how they will affect students, teachers, or schools. We are a nation of guinea pigs, almost all trying an unknown new program at the same time."
Ravitch continues, "There is no reason for national standards to tell teachers what percentage of their time should be devoted to literature or information."
Time will tell if Common Core is the panacea for a nation at risk, but early retirees aren't willing to wait.

Ayotte: Lack of Budget Paved Way for Sequestration Mess
Today marks 1,400 days since Senate last passed a budget
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) released the following statement today, which marks 1,400 days since the Democrat-controlled Senate last passed a budget:
"During the nearly four years since Senate Democrats last passed a budget, nearly $6 trillion has been added to our debt. The lack of a regular budget process is also a major reason why we're facing across-the-board sequestration cuts at the end of this week. Americans are tired of spending showdowns, and the President and Congress must work together on a serious plan that reduces wasteful spending, reforms our broken tax code, and puts our entitlement programs on a sustainable path. And that should start with adopting a fiscally responsible budget."
Earlier this year, Senator Ayotte helped introduce the "No Budget, No Pay Act," which would dock pay for Members of Congress for failure to pass a budget resolution and regular appropriations bills before the start of the federal fiscal year.

Workers Slotted for Layoff Block Road Outside Wells Fargo Headquarters
Posted By admin On August 14, 2009 @ 1:49 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
[efoods]Nine months have passed since workers at Republic Windows and Doors occupied their Chicago factory, demanded the severance and vacation pay owed them and ultimately pursuaded Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase to put up the funds.
It was heralded as a potential watershed in modern U.S. labor relations, and now is a natural time to ask what fruits that struggle has yielded.
There has not been an onslaught of factory occupations or worker uprisings. But there is at least one ongoing campaign that is inspired by, and in many ways parallel to, the Republic Windows action — a campaign that's more wide-ranging and ambitious to boot.
That would be the "Roadblock to Recovery" campaign launched by Jobs with Justice and the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) union of Republic Windows fame, targeting Wells Fargo bank for failing to extend credit to struggling businesses after receiving federal bailout money.
Like Bank of America, Wells Fargo received $25 billion in taxpayer bailout funds last fall (Bank of America later received an additional $20 billion). Now the Roadblock to Recovery campaign is taking a page from the Republic Windows playbook and demanding Wells Fargo show taxpayers some ground-level results of their investment.

Plant type
Hardy annual
Flower colour
Skill level
The wild field poppy enjoys cultivated, disturbed soil, which is why swathes of scarlet blooms often appear in cornfields. The basic form has scarlet, single flowers, each petal often marked at its base with a black blotch. Size varies according to the soil in which plants grow, the poorer the soil, the smaller and paler the blooms. They make good cut flowers if gathered early in the morning just as the green sheath is falling from the petals, but the blooms don't last long. Plants self-seed readily.

This past weekend guest conductor George Daugherty and the St. Louis Symphony offered an opportunity to go "forward into the past," to quote the Firesign Theatre (another major influence on my youth). Created by Mr. Daugherty as a sequel to "Bugs Bunny at the Symphony" (which played Powell back in the fall of 2011), "Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II" featured a solid collection of digitally remastered Warner Brothers cartoons (mostly from the 40s and 50s) along with a couple of "Tom and Jerry" shorts from MGM and even two brand-new CGI 'toons that added a three dimensional solidity to the usual fast-paced slapstick.
Most of the cartoons were complete, a few were cut to remove the non-musical parts, and the whole program was good, family-friendly fun, with enough variety to keep both the kids and us aging Boomers entertained. At a little over two hours with intermission, however, it might have been a bit long for some of the younger audience members.
As Mr. Daugherty (who tours with this program world wide) said in his opening remarks, the Warner team produced around 1500 cartoons during the golden years of hand-drawn animation in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. They were intended for general audiences (not just kids) and were part of the run-up to the feature film that included previews, short subjects, and newsreels. They all had non-stop soundtracks that mixed themes from the classics with period pop songs and original material. Those arrangements, including most of the original tunes, were the work of the remarkable Carl Stalling, a Missouri native son who was once the resident organist at the old St. Louis Theatre—which is now Powell Hall.
Showing these cartoons with a live orchestra is a technically complex business that involves mixing the live orchestral performance with recorded music and sound on the cartoon soundtracks. All the orchestra members wore headphones, as did Mr. Daugherty, and everything had to be precisely coordinated with what was on film. I wish I'd had a seating chart so I could compliment some of the musicians who played when we saw the show on Sunday. They performed flawlessly, including whoever had to do the short electric slide guitar sting that opens the famous "Merrie Melodies Theme" (officially "Merrily We Roll Along" from 1935).
Like its predecessor, "Bugs II" features some of Warner's most hilarious classical parodies, including "The Rabbit of Seville" (set largely to bits of Rossini's overture), "Baton Bunny" (which sends up von Suppé's "Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna" overture), and, of course, "What's Opera, Doc?," which uses music from six separate Wagner operas to lampoon the histrionic excesses sometimes associated with those operas. This time we also got "Rhapsody Rabbit," with Bugs as a concert pianist taking on Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" with the unwelcome help of a musical mouse (a gag that was ripped off shamelessly by MGM for "Cat Concerto," with Tom playing Bugs).
The first of the two brand-new cartoons, by the way, uses as its soundtrack a remastered version of Mel Blanc's recording of the Alan Livingston / Billy May / Warren Foster song "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat." Blanc voiced both Tweety Pie and Sylvester, of course, with June Foray (best known as the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Natasha Fatal) making a brief appearance as Tweety and Sylvester's little old lady owner. The recording was believed lost for around sixty years, only to turn up in the drawer of an ancient desk. That's Mr. Daugherty's story, anyway, and I'm buying it.
So, like it's predecessor, George Daugherty's "Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II" was a cleverly conceived and smartly executed tribute to the endless inventiveness of animation directors such as Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, and (for the two new entries) Matthew O'Callaghan, as well as the ingenuity of Carl Stalling and his stalwart assistant and sometime pianist, Milt Franklyn. A splendid time was clearly had by all (including the nine year old in our party and his mom), and if events like this can open the eyes and ears of the younger set to the job of live music, I'm all for them. Certainly the packed house at Powell noticeably less gray than it usually is, so it would be nice to see some of them back for the regular season concerts.
Speaking of which: the regular concert season resumes at Powell Hall this weekend as David Robertson conducts orchestra and violin soloist Gil Shaham in Marshall's "Bright Kingdoms," Korngold's "Violin Concerto," and Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World") on Friday at 10:30 AM and at 8 PM, and Saturday at 8 PM March 21 and 22.

The Purchase of Development Rights authorizes Thurston County and qualified conservation organizations to purchase development rights (essentially residential density) with the purpose of preserving farmland. The program compensates land owners for agreeing to conserve their land. Generally, the property owner would retain ownership of the land and continue to reside on and farm the property.
The Transfer of Development Rights Program provides an opportunity for working-land owners to sell their development rights without having to sell their entire property for development. Under this approach, the rural character and agricultural economy of Thurston County is preserved, and working-land owners have the opportunity to realize some of the true market value of their land without having to sell the land altogether for urban development.
When you purchase property, you get more than just the land – you get rights over how the land is used, including mineral rights, development rights and water rights. Those rights can be sold or transferred without affecting the land itself. Under a TDR program, the owner of working lands can sell the development rights from the land to somebody in an urban area. The rights are sold in the form of credits, and the buyer can use those credits to develop land at a different density than local zoning would normally allow. TDR programs help preserve working lands, because the landowners can benefit from the true market value of their development rights, without having to sell the land altogether to a developer. Meanwhile, the buyer of those rights has greater flexibility in developing land within certain zoning areas. It's a way to shift development away from rural areas and into urban areas.
