"Drop Dead." That's the best answer that some conservatives have been able to offer to a country in teeth of the worst financial crisis we've faced in a generation. When the Wall Street crisis loomed and the bailout was being debated: let the market fail, and risk another Great Depression, "for the sake of the altar of the free market." Now, the economic downturn having worsened – and in ways that are more deeply felt in parts of the country far from centers of financial or political power – their response to rescuing the largest remnant of our manufacturing sector? "Drop Dead," and devil take the hindmost.
It's not that there's not a political angle to the GOP refusal to bail out Detroit the same way Wall Street – where executives' financial dealings were at least as irresponsible and disastrous as any made in Detroit – was bailed out. The political motivation is clear: if the "Big Three" fail, foreign automakers are likely to serve as a back-up, and they will likely build their factories in southern states where conservatives might finally offer their base something besides the "red meat" of culture war rhetoric and anti-gay marriage initiatives. Like jobs to finally replace the textile jobs that long ago departed for other shores on the wings of trade agreements that were supposed to be a boon to our economy; a drop in that rising tide alleged to lift all boats.
That they will be non-union, lower-paying jobs than those that will disappear further north, with fewer benefits may not matter to a population so ravaged by conservative economics that they are willing to complete the final loop of globalization, and become the low-wage labor employed by multi-national corporations. They are jobs after all, though not enough to replace the jobs that will be lost in the process of a collapse.
It's not the political angle but the callous, cavalier attitude towards the consequences of collapse in those corner of "real America" that conservatives just spent an entire campaign extolling, that typifies something I've started calling "Drop Dead" conservatism, showing its true face as its many masks – of compassion, values, etc. – slip.
It's a different face of conservatism than we've seen as the dual dramas of the election and the financial crisis have played out. It's not the sad, befuddled conservatism of Alan Greenspan, reputation in tatters as he surveys the wreckage of self-interest run amok, admits that he "made a mistake" in one breath, and announces in the next that he has "found a flaw."
"Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders' equity, myself included, are in a state of shocked disbelief," he told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Now 82, Mr. Greenspan came in for one of the harshest grillings of his life, as Democratic lawmakers asked him time and again whether he had been wrong, why he had been wrong and whether he was sorry.
Critics, including many economists, now blame the former Fed chairman for the financial crisis that is tipping the economy into a potentially deep recession. Mr. Greenspan's critics say that he encouraged the bubble in housing prices by keeping interest rates too low for too long and that he failed to rein in the explosive growth of risky and often fraudulent mortgage lending.
"You had the authority to prevent irresponsible lending practices that led to the subprime mortgage crisis. You were advised to do so by many others," said Representative Henry A. Waxman of California, chairman of the committee. "Do you feel that your ideology pushed you to make decisions that you wish you had not made?"
Mr. Greenspan conceded: "Yes, I've found a flaw. I don't know how significant or permanent it is. But I've been very distressed by that fact."
The oracle is among the last to discover what the rest of us have long since experienced in more tangible ways: Unbridled self-interest, it turns out, isn't rational at all, and simply consumes until it destroys even its own environment and needs saving from itself.
What else could have been expected in a market designed by Greenspan and others to operate a kind of derivative-driven Hobbsian "state of nature" where there is "no justice and no injustice because there are no laws"?
And how could he not have known? How, when he was warned again and again, and either ignored his critics or silenced them, and scorned calls to regulate the financial instruments that played a huge role in bringing about this crisis? Why did he do nothing at all to stop it or reduce the harm that would inevitably be done? Why did he choose instead to let the bubble burst and pick up the pieces later?
He did nothing for the same reason that "Drop Dead" conservatives say "Drop dead" or "Let the markets crash." Knowing the kind of disaster that lies ahead and the very real suffering that most Americans will face, they don't believe that anything should be done. Their political philosophy doesn't allow for it.
Greenspan only admitted to being "partially," and then not necessarily wrong in his assumptions about markets and deregulation. The flaw he "discovered" was one that the other fundamentalists in the now fractured conservative coalition could have pointed out to him: people, in this case people on Wall Street, sometimes fail to behave honorably.
It's one of the seven deadly sins after all, and it doesn't take oracle to figure out what happens when it runs amok in a setting where there are no rules and no one's looking anyway.
As long as people are compensated hugely for taking risks with other people's money, and do not suffer equally on the downside, then those risks will inevitably become outrageous. Whether markets are efficient or not I don't know for sure, but I do know that if there's a way for someone to make money at another's expense, he will. In spades. I want out.
…I believe that to get to the root of the matter, we have to address the bad side of greed. We know from Ivan Boesky and Gordon Gecko that greed can be good. Greed makes the world go around; it makes people take risks that ultimately lead to economic or scientific advances. But the greedy must also face the consequences of taking those risks.
Again, he was wrong. The risks taken were being monitored by private parties whose prevailing interest was in the short term returns on investments. Not the integrity of the process. Greenspan must have imagined a Wall Street populated by pure-hearted, suit-clad gentlemen who would rather make less money honorably than make a bodacious pile dishonorably.
But if you get to keep the pile, and get bailed out by taxpayers, what profit is there in honor?
And that's why, as tempting as it may be to view Greenspan as a sad old man who has seen "the whole intellectual edifice" of his world – and worldview – collapse, it is also dangerous.
The face of "Drop Dead" conservatism isn't quite the face of desperation that we didn't see from John McCain – desperation that Hillary Clinton only heard, in a phone call that might not have come at 3:00 a.m., but was at once a revelation and a concession.
It could hardly be anything else when the Republican presidential candidate – between debates, and trying to find a way to speak to a country in the teeth of a crisis that has his party's fingerprints (and, regrettably, those of too many Democrats) all over it – calls a former Democratic candidate for advice.
On Sept. 24, Hillary Rodham Clinton received a surprise phone call from the man she's often denounced as an economic know-nothing: John McCain.
This was no social call, even though Clinton likes McCain enough to keep his photo on the wall of her Senate office. The GOP nominee had already chatted with Bill Clinton about the mortgage crisis and wanted to pick the senator's brain about her new proposal to have the federal government buy up bad mortgages and renegotiate terms more favorable to homeowners on verge of default.
"McCain said he had been motivated by it, he was very complimentary about what she had proposed and wanted to know more," said a person with knowledge of the call.
Clinton responded coolly. "She didn't engage him, she just said, 'Thank you' and heard him out."
Three weeks later, at the town hall debate in Nashville, Tenn., McCain rolled out a $300 billion anti-foreclosure plan that's similar, if not identical, to Clinton's – and subsequently credited the concept "to a suggestion that Sen. Hillary Clinton made not that long ago."
Much as Greenspan would do in his congressional testimony, in that moment, McCain conceded. Not the election — not yet, anyway — but that it hadn't worked. The whole conservative experiment just hadn't worked, at least not for a great many Americans, many of whom would be casting ballots in November.
Think about that for a minute. The Republican presidential candidate – in the midst of an ever-expanding economic crisis, and with an election just over a month away – picks up the phone and who does he call for advice? He does not call his economic advisor, Phil Gramm. He didn't call Don Luskin, his other economic advisor whose advice he (thankfully) has never followed. He didn't call any of his other economic advisors or his friends from the corporate world. He didn't call his running mate, whose advice he's sought out many times, on other issues.
If fact, he didn't call anyone in his party, as far as we know. Not even his running mate, whose advice he'd sought many times before. No. He called a former Democratic presidential candidate. (And shortly after calling a Democratic former president for similar advice.)
What kind of a Republican – never mind a Republican candidate for the White House, running behind in the middle of an economic crisis – seek economic advice from a Democrat? One who knows what McCain knows, if he knows as much as his own campaign aide who said, "If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we're going to lose."
And of course McCain knew as much. His phone call to Sen. Clinton came just a couple of weeks before the campaign aide's remark, and the weeks prior to that call were packed with events like the biggest bailout proposal in U.S. history, even further deregulation by the Fed, the demise of Wall Street's last investment banks, the $85 billion bailout of AIG, and his own abrupt economic about face. And the most offered by the best minds and most belligerent members of his own party were calls for more deregulation and a willingness to let the economy crash "for the sake of the altar of the free market."
The face of "Drop Dead" conservatism, betrays neither the recognition of error or the desperation of having no answers. It wears the trademark smirk of an un-chastened, outgoing president selling the snake oil of an unrestrained "free market" to leaders whose nations are reeling from the global crisis that has rippled outward from out economy. It wears the snarl of a chief architect of the current crisis defending both subprime mortgages and deregulation at this late date, when the consequences of his policy victories suggest his was a recipe for a poisoned economy.
High on delusion, denial, and derision, it's the face of a conservatism unequipped to recognize – let alone meet – the challenges America and the world now face, and blind to the possibility drowning itself in irrelevance. It's the face of a conservatism that, facing the failure of its ideology, has more anger than answers.

Jackson Gets Bombed by White Sox
Trivia Fact of the Day:
Chuck Finley of the Indians and Angels is the only pitcher to record 4 strikeouts in an inning more than once. He has done it three times from 1999-2000.
The Good,The Bad,and the Ugly
"He was throwing the ball well, and it just gets away," Maddon said. "The ability to really stem the tide when it's going in the wrong direction, where you're able to gather your thoughts, slow things down and get out of a jam, sometimes he's been able to do that, and tonight was not one of those nights. I think that is a mark of youth, or a lack of experience."
Jackson's ERA has gone from a impressive .064 ERA two games ago, to his present 4.63, which tends to point to control issues or trying to force the ball into bad decisions to batters. Jackson is your typical Power pitcher, who is trying to refine his craft to be a percision and location pitcher with the added bonus of a great fastball. It is just that the fastball did him in today instead of helping him to win the game.
Jime Thome used Jackson and the Rays staff as his personal batting practice today to go 4-4, including his 512th Homerun to tie Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews for 19th on the All-time Homerun list. Also not lost in this loss is that the Rays have now been 8-11 at this point in the season for the 4th consecutive season.
Dioner Navarro Mike DeFelice
The Ugly
The worst job for a manager at the professional level is to informa veteran or a rookie get reassigned or released from your club. The Rays today sent pitcher Jeff Niemann back to the Durham Bulls to make room for incoming first baseman/DH Dan Johnson. This is not the only move that the Rays will make in the next few days. On Tuesday, the Rays will have catcher Dioner Navarro back in the fold after recovering from his freak accident in New York.
With Navarro coming back, the Rays will probably designate for assignment, the current back-up catcher, and Rays original member, Mike DeFelice. Mike has had a incredible Spring Training, and a very productive call up for the Rays.
In order for Mike to be able to report to Durham, he will have to clear waivers. With several teams looking for a talented and great motivator for their young staffs, DeFelice would be a perfect fit. So do not be surprised if a team takes a chance on Mike and selects him on Tuesday. DeFelice has only been instrumental in the development of several young pitchers in our fold, and has hit a very competitive .300 for the team.
Former Rays Player of the Night:
Florida Marlins third baseman Jorge Cantu is my player of the night.Cantu went 2-4 today, with both hits being doubles. Cantu also scored a run for the fish. He is curently batting .308 for the team.
Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays will be the first meeting of the year for the clubs. On the mound will be former Rays' batboy, Jesse Litsch. The Rays will counter with ace, James Sheilds.

Pulled from the different tones of camouflage, this go-anywhere shade's being used in a way that's a posh and tailored notch up from utilitarian. Light up Binic, a quirky new modern table lamp from Foscarini that looks inspired by a searchlight, and toss West Elm's Starlings rug on the floor for even more green-on-green credit. Then, take a spin on Yamaha's cool C³ scooter — that two-wheeled runabout includes enough storage for stashing important gear like fabric swatches and and paint decks or even an old-school Stanley thermos. It's a design mission that's sure to be a success. See more photos in our 2011 Decorating Trends gallery.

The always-fashionable equestrian look has taken on a Spanish spin, inspired by the perfectly tailored costumes of the traje corto. The rugged style of these Andalucían horsemen is adding a hip element to interiors, too: natural materials, aged finishes and an easy mix of traditional and modern hit all the right notes. Whitewashed plaster walls, rough-hewn ironwork and polished terracotta tiles are the hallmarks of any Spanish villa worth its weight in paella. Meanwhile, the equestrian influence is felt in the sadde-smooth leather and buckes of the Spanish chair by Danish designer Børge Mogensen. In love with the look? Carry it wherever you go with authentic riding boots smart enough for the streets of Seville. See more photos in our 2011 Decorating Trends gallery.

A naive ideal of femininity is stepping forward for spring as designers pay homage to cinema sweethearts with demure looks in a delicate palette of buttercream, petal pink and white. The overall look is lighthearted, flower-filled and fun. Kartell's latest light, aptly named Bloom, delivers a breathtaking bouquet at the flick of a switch, and Anthropologie's charming floral knobs would put the perfect finishing touch on a painted vintage dresser.

Raffia has shot up the style barometer from tropical kitsch to avant-garde accent. The humble material continues to conjure days at the beach, but designers are now shifting the emphasis from gimmicky to glamorous. As upholstery fabric from Kravet, the inspiration feels almost tribal. Modern types can get in on the trend with Alessi's Blow Up bamboo collection, which uses raffia to tie together the reeds that form tables, baskets and even a magazine rack. Whether woven, tied or wrapped, raffia is enjoying its time in the sun. See more photos in our 2011 Decorating Trends gallery. Photographer: Luis Albuquerque (fabric); Mark Burstyn (bottles). Source: House & Home May 2011 issue Make a statement with a rainbow of hot summer colours. Fashion made the plunge into vibrant hues for spring at labels like Jil Sanders and Gucci, which sent a sexy mix of orange, violet and green down runways. But the crush on colour really began in the interior design world, fuelled in part by Pantone's most recent picks for colour of the year. We're still into 2010's choice of Turquoise, followed by this year's deep pink Honeysuckle; now, designers are dialing things up by using bold tones in maximalist bright-on-bright combinations. For home, punch up a stark living room with a pixelated couch and give your guests something to cheer about with rainbow-hued shot glasses. This summer motto? Go bright or go home.

Designer favourite Madeline Weinrib answers the call for contrast and drama with her Carlotta runner, while sketches of ornate mirror frames bring wit and whimsy to a stately wing chair by L.A. firm Woodson & Rummerfield's.

SHELBY � A Cleveland County Sheriff�s Office SUV followed close behind an unmarked law enforcement vehicle. Both navigated the tight streets behind Holly Oak Park in Shelby.
Four men emerged from the two vehicles. They walked to the front door of a brick home on Osborne Street. A woman answered the door and spoke briefly to Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman.
�I spoke with the registered sex offender�s mom who told us where her son worked,� Norman said. �That information was consistent with our last visit.�
Sheriff�s office deputies conducted surprise �knock-and-talks� across the county Wednesday. They visited about 104 homes.
The unannounced checks by the sheriff�s office are an effort to make sure registered sex offenders are staying in compliance with state laws.
�We want to ensure more safety from these individuals,� Norman said.
The county has 236 registered sex offenders. Some are currently detained in the county jail or in N.C. Department of Correction facilities in the state.
Multiple visits each year
The sheriff�s office is required, by law, to check on registered sex offenders at least once a year.
Deputies focused on three categories of convicted sex offenders during the two-day operation this week: aggravated, those who engaged in violent or forced sexual acts with someone of any age or younger than 12 years old; recidivists, or repeat offenders; and sexually violent predators, persons convicted of violent sexual offense with a mental abnormality or personality disorder.
�We do it multiple times per year,� Norman said.
The department conducted a similar operation on Halloween, when sheriff�s deputies visited about 60 registered sex offenders across the county.
There isn�t a specific time when the knock-and-talks happen, Norman said.
Protecting children
Deputies from various divisions, including community-oriented policing, school resource and patrol officers, assist with the operations.
�We haven�t had an increase in personnel in more than 10 years,� he said. �We can put these operations together in as short as a day and half�s notice.�
Norman said it�s �absolutely necessary� for his department to routinely check on sex offenders living in Cleveland County. He stressed the importance of protecting children through all means possible.
A N.C. General Assembly law bans sex offenders from using social networking sites such as Facebook because children are permitted to use them.
But the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled Wednesday that an Indiana law banning sex offenders from using social networking sites is unconstitutional, noting it restricted free speech.
�I absolutely don�t agree with it,� Norman said. �Once you commit a crime and are on the registry, you give up your rights and any others that put you in contact with juveniles.�
Twenty registered offenders will likely have follow-up visits in the coming days. Norman said fewer restrictions on offenders could cause them to recommit similar crimes.

See what questions
a doctor would ask.
Undiagnosed stroke leads to misdiagnosed aphasia: BBC News UK reported on a man who had been institutionalized and treated for mental illness because he suffered from sudden inability to speak. This was initially misdiagnosed as a "nervous breakdown" and other mental conditions. He was later diagnosed as having had a stroke, and suffering from aphasia (inability to speak), a well-known complication of stroke (or other brain conditions).
Dementia may be a drug interaction: A common scenario in aged care is for a patient to show mental decline to dementia. Whereas this can, of course, occur due to various medical conditions, such as a stroke or Alzheimer's disease, it can also occur from a side effect or interaction between multiple drugs that the elderly patient may be taking. There are also various other possible causes of dementia.
ADHD under-diagnosed in adults: Although the over-diagnoses of ADHD in children is a well-known controversy, the reverse side related to adults. Some adults can remain undiagnosed, and indeed the condition has usually been overlooked throughout childhood. There are as many as 8 million adults with ADHD in the USA (about 1 in 25 adults in the USA). See misdiagnosis of ADHD or symptoms of ADHD.
Bipolar disorder misdiagosed as various conditions by primary physicians: Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder) often fails to be diagnosed correctly by primary care physicians. Many patients with bipolar seek help from their physician, rather than a psychiatrist or psychologist. See misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Eating disorders under-diagnosed in men: The typical patient with an eating disorder is female. The result is that men with eating disorders often fail to be diagnosed or have a delayed diagnosis. See misdiagnosis of eating disorders or symptoms of eating disorders.
Depression undiagnosed in teenagers: Serious bouts of depression can be undiagnosed in teenagers. The "normal" moodiness of teenagers can cause severe medical depression to be overlooked. See misdiagnosis of depression or symptoms of depression.
Undiagnosed anxiety disorders related to depression: Patients with depression (see symptoms of depression) may also have undiagnosed anxiety disorders (see symptoms of anxiety disorders). Failure to diagnose these anxiety disorders may worsen the depression. See misdiagnosis of depression or misdiagnosis of anxiety disorders.
Some of the causes, which may potentially be dangerous or fatal if left undiagnosed, may include:
The following list of conditions have 'Acute psychotic features' or similar listed as a symptom in our database. This computer-generated list may be inaccurate or incomplete. Always seek prompt professional medical advice about the cause of any symptom.

On the issue of high-speed rail (as on so many other issues), Gov. Jerry Brown is trapped in a fix of his own making. The governor -- by aiming so low and caving to public misimpressions about government spending -- has made it impossible for himself to make big changes. Compared to his rhetoric about the need for cuts and very modest changes, even mildly ambitious projects look way too big.
Which is why Brown's attempt to save the high-speed rail project by cutting the cost of its first phase from an estimated $100 billion or so to an estimated $70 billion or so is doomed to failure. Either number looks awfully big, especially when the number is considered in isolation. That's an awful lot of money for a project that won't reach Sacramento or San Diego.
No, the way to make a project like high-speed rail look small, and less scary, is to pursue even bigger projects. Compare high-speed rail, for example, to the state's current infrastructure deficit -- the sum total of all the infrastructure improvement and maintenance the state needs in highways, roads, buildings, water, rail, airports, electrical grid and the capital needs of K-12 and higher education.
U.S. & World
That deficit, according to recent research conducted for the Think Long Committee for California is... drum roll... $765 billion.
Now that's a big number. Indeed, the high-speed rail project's estimated cost is less than 10 percent of that.
So if you want high-speed rail, the best method would be to include it in a massive plan to close that deficit. Yes, $765 billion is a ton of money, and paying for all that infrastructure would require all manner of methods, from private-public partnerships, sales and long-term leases of infrastructure, user fees, taxes and probably some governance reform. As part of that package, no one is going to worry much about high-speed rail. There's so much more to worry about.
Making high-speed rail part of a massive state infrastructure effort also would diminish opposition from various infrastructure interests and efforts who wonder -- with good reason -- why the state would prioritize a high-risk new train project when it has so many existing unmet needs.
Could Brown do it? Yes, but it would force the governor to reassess his approach to politics, to stop talking about cuts and to stop playing to public misconceptions about spending and the public. It would force him to embrace big goals and plans -- in governance reform and in infrastructure -- because you can't make significant changes unless you're willing to think big.

Gov. LePage pushes school improvement in weekly radio address
LePage calls for education system with accountability.
Gov. Paul LePage is calling for an education system with accountability.
In his weekly radio address Saturday, LePage said that by measuring school performance and providing assistance to struggling schools, achievement can be improved.
LePage's address comes a day after education policy leaders from around the country shared practices, models and innovative reforms with more than 200 legislators, business leaders, educators and others at Cony High School in Augusta at the Governor's Conference on Education.
In the Democratic response, Rep. Gay Grant of Gardiner said strengthening Maine's public schools is a top priority for her party.
But Grant said Maine schools are facing a serious threat in LePage's proposed budget, which she said essentially cuts funding to schools by nearly $40 million over the next two years.

Winter can do a number on your car.
Slush, salt and cold temperatures take a toll on everything from the tires to the wiper blades. So, as spring approaches, it's a good idea to give your car a thorough once-over to undo winter's damage.
It won't cost a lot. You can the work yourself or visit a car wash and a garage. Goodyear, Firestone and other car care centers will rotate your tires, change your oil and fluids and inspect your vehicle for winter damage for $35 or less.
Here are five things you can do to shake off winter and get your car in shape for spring:
Wintertime driving will coat the bottom of your car with salt, sand and other grime that can cause corrosion. Corrosion can lead to rust problems, which can make your car much harder to resell or even dangerous to drive.
Spend a few extra dollars for the undercarriage power wash at the local car wash or spray the car's bottom with your own hose. If possible, use a car jack to raise the vehicle for a more thorough cleaning, advises Bill Kropelnicki, president and owner of Rambling River Repair in Farmington, Minn. There's no need to use soap or any other cleaner.
While you're at it, open the hood and wipe down the engine with a soft mitt and soapy water. And remove all the leaves and debris that can find their way into the car, says Cliff Weathers, deputy autos editor for Consumer Reports. And remove any crusty white residue off the battery with a toothbrush, baking soda and water. The residue - caused by corrosion - can eventually prevent your car from starting. The cleaning also helps prepare the battery for the stress of warmer temperatures.
Salt and sand can damage the car's paint. Give your car a thorough cleaning and wax it with a paste or liquid wax, Weathers said. He cautions that sprays don't clean as well.
Scrub the bottoms of doors, which can get coated with grime, Kropelnicki says. He also urges car owners to clean the window channels, Also apply a silicone spray, which repels dirt and lubricates the surfaces so the windows will operate smoothly, he says.
Use a steam cleaner - you can rent one for $20 at Home Depot - or apply a rug-cleaning spray to remove all the salt from the car's inside. Salt can break down some fabrics and cause rips or tears when feet grind against them.
And don't forget to take bags of salt and ice scrapers out of the trunk.
Wiper blades get a workout during the winter months. Weathers advises changing them each spring and fall. Amazon.com's best-selling Bosch wiper blades go for $25 a pair.
Some garages recommend a wheel alignment - which can cost around $80 - or a tire rotation as part of your spring maintenance. Weathers doesn't think it's necessary as long as you're following the car's regular maintenance schedule and doing normal winter driving.
Check your tire pressure. Cold weather can cause tires to be underinflated and the onset of warm weather can overinflate them. Also, visually inspect your tires to make sure they're wearing evenly and have plenty of tread for the rainy spring weather ahead.
Driving on properly inflated tires can save you money. It can cost anywhere from $50 to $250 to replace a blown tire, depending on the kind of tire you need.
Winter weather can deplete some fluids - especially windshield wiper fluid - more quickly, so top them off yourself if they're too low. A service station will also do the job for $25 or so. You should change your oil, brake fluid and transmission fluid every 5,000 miles or so, regardless of the season, Weathers says.

Today I received the 26th April 2010 issue of Time, which in the Milestones column reported the death of Wilma Mankiller, the first principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. She died in her home in Adair County, Oklahoma on 6 April 2010.
Mankiller served as principal chief from 1985 to 1995, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998 and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1993.
Wilma Pearl Mankiller was born at Tahlequay, Oklahoma on 18 November 1945 as the sixth of eleven children of Charley Mankiller (1914-1971) and Clara Irene Sitton (b. 1921). Mankiller had 2 girls, Felicia Olaya and Gina Olaya, by her first husband, Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi from Ecuador. Her second husband, Charlie Soap, survives her.

A predominantly female group from Philadelphia, the Orlons had some dance and novelty gems in the early '60s for Cameo-Parkway. Lead vocalist Rossetta Hightower, Marlena Davis, Steve Caldwell, and Shirley Brickley scored with "The Wah Watusi" in 1962; it was a number five R&B and number two pop hit, while the follow-ups, "Don't Hang Up" and "South Street," were also Top Ten R&B and pop successes. "Not Me" was their fourth consecutive R&B Top Ten winner in 1963, and it peaked at number 12 pop. It was also their last, although "Cross Fire!" reached number 19 on the pop charts. But their other singles fizzled, and Davis and Caldwell left in 1964, replaced by Audrey Brickley. When Hightower moved to England in 1968, the Orlons disbanded. ~ Ron Wynn~ Rovi

Non-discrimination policies aren't a threat to Catholic groups
We first wrote nearly three months ago about a controversy on the campus of Vanderbilt University, where Catholics students balked at signing a university non-discrimination policy that would certify their student organization does not exclude potential members or those seeking leadership positions for any reason, including religion.
The Catholic students, who have received support from other groups outside of their campus in their fight against the policy, have decided to no longer be a student organization rather than to agree to the university policy. The story continues to gain traction as another example of "religious freedom" being restricted for Christians in the United States, and has generated some misleading arguments that Catholic students would be forced to allow non-Catholics to lead their organization.
But no one is saying the Catholic students must have leaders who are of different faiths. The university's policy only requires student organizations to be open to people of all faiths, not to recruit them as members. For a Catholic student group to have non-Catholic leaders, several things would first have to take place:
1. Non-Catholic students would have to want to join a Catholic student group. I don't know about students today, but when I was in college I was fairly busy with classes, homework, and having a job, so my time for student organizations was limited. How many non-Catholics would have time or the interest to join a faith-based group when the group's faith is different from their own?
2. Assuming the non-Catholic student does want to join the Catholic group, then they'd have to run for a leadership position. Again, based on the criteria above and the time commitment, this seems unlikely.
3. If the first two unlikely steps do play out, then the rest of the organization would have to elect the non-Catholic student to a leadership position. The university policy only states that groups can't discriminate against those who wish to be considered for leadership positions. The students can still choose their own leaders, and if say, four Catholics and one Jewish student are campaigning to be the Catholic student organization's president, the students can still elect one of the Catholics. The university only wants them to allow the Jewish student to be able to run if they so choose.
The real negative of opposing the non-discrimination policy is that it shows a lack of openness on the part of Catholic students toward their non-Catholic brothers and sisters. Those non-Catholics who do want to join a Catholic group could present positive opportunities to teach the faith and to learn about others' beliefs.
What if a non-Catholic wanted to join the group to learn more about Catholicism because they were considering the possibility of converting? Being turned away because of their lack of faith might forever turn them off to the Catholic Church. And what if a Jewish student did want to join the Catholic organization, and perhaps invited Catholics to join their Jewish student organization, as a way of building interfaith relationships?
College is perhaps the best time in our lives to explore what others believe, to learn about different faith traditions, and to discover where God is calling us in our own lives. Non-discrimination policies shouldn't be seen as a hurdle to practicing one's faith in college, but as an obvious component of our efforts to welcome, evangelize, and spread the Gospel.

Last month, the blog Solve Climate published a report detailing Bell Labs' new initiative to make the systems that power the Internet more energy efficient by convening a "Green Touch" consortium composed of industry, universities, science labs and nonprofits. The consortium is committed to finding open-source solutions to energy efficiency, with the goal of making communications networks "1,000 times more energy efficient" within the next five years.
But what interested me most about this report was a nugget buried in the middle of the text:
Recently, the industry lost its battle to have the information and communication technology sector (ICT) included in the 'Copenhagen Accord' that came out of the two-week talks in December. Advocates believe that getting mention of ICT into the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) text would unleash dollars and innovation.
Making no mention of failed global climate policy, Bell Labs insisted Green Touch would deliver a radical re-engineering of global networks by 2015.
Why? Because they know it will eventually help their bottom line. If Bell Labs and others can create a scheme that allows networks to achieve 1,000 times greater efficiency, it will make economic sense to rebuild the network, which in turn will create massive business opportunities across the sector.
Another example of this leading-edge thinking is Google, one of the biggest believers in fighting climate change as a business model.
The company is developing software to monitor home-energy use, working to develop "utility scale renewable energy cheaper than coal," and accelerating the commercialization of plug-in vehicles. (Solve Climate has a great rundown of all of Google's forays into the clean energy sector.)
All three initiatives are under the google.org umbrella, but I'm willing to bet a month's salary that Google plans on turning all of these initiatives into for-profit ventures.
This can be read in the tea leaves of Google's recent request before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to become an electricity marketer. The company made no public statement when it filed the request, but told reporters that the move is designed to help it better manage energy supplies for its own operations and give the company better access to renewable energy.
But there's more. According to The Wall Street Journal, Google's application reserves the right to "act as a power marketer, purchasing electricity and reselling it to wholesale customers," and trading "in the bulk power markets, such as arranging … transmission and fuel supplies."
In short, Google reserves the right to be your power company.
It's not hard to see how this plays out. Google becomes a renewable power company, signs up homeowners who install the Google power meter, and buy the Google plug-in vehicle, which they power with Google Energy.
So why are these smart companies stepping up now — and potentially investing millions — when the world's governments continue to drag their feet in providing the all-important "regulatory certainty" that clean energy technologies will be needed? After all, we could continue to dig and drill for our energy without limits and all of Google's clean energy investments would be for naught.
Certainly, Google and Bell Labs are betting governments will eventually provide that regulatory certainty. But they're also well-aware of two certainties — inevitabilities, really — that will define all businesses in the long-term:
Climate change is real — and, as we continue to see its effects, people will demand action (and Google, Bell Labs and others will be there with solutions).
Even without climate change, you can't dig and drill for energy forever. (When the wells run dry and all the mountains are blasted, Google, Bell Labs and others will be there with solutions.)
Dumb companies bury their heads in the sand and wait for that next mountain top to be blasted, or the next well to be drilled.

Mobility opportunities are key to attracting, developing and retaining talent - but diverse preferences and expectations all need careful management.
Understanding and managing the tax and compliance risks inherent in global talent deployments.
Putting the right people in the right locations, at the right times in a cost effective and efficient way.

Grand Rapids, MI — During a renovation at the David D. Hunting YMCA in Grand Rapids, MI, operators recently replaced three of the facility's water-free urinals in the restroom of the men's locker room with a more traditional model.
The change was needed because the Y was spending $3,300 a year to replace odor-eliminating filters on the urinals, Y Director of Operations Dwayne Moore told The Grand Rapids Press.
According to the water-free urinal manufacturer, the high cost for the filters occurred because the urinals were not maintained per manufacturer's specifications, which meant the filters had to be changed more frequently than required if proper maintenance was done.
The Y still uses water-free urinals in other parts of the facility.
In 2006, the David D. Hunting Y was the first Y in the world to receive certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Other renovations at the Y include a new parking lot, an interior paint job, resurfaced floors, improved saunas and new benches in locker rooms, Moore told the newspaper.

In response to the recent article about the pro-Second Amendment rally held at Shooter�s Express, I am glad to say that I, alongside many others, welcome the support of freedom and constitutional rights to self-defense.
I am very pleased to see that so many people are willing to show up and protect one of the most important aspects of a free society. Too often today we are bombarded with messages from the left about how it�s heartless of us to support the right to bear arms. But the reality is that it�s the left who are ignorant of the reality. The truth is that gun laws do not make us any safer.
The only people who are affected by gun control laws are those willing to follow them. The basic concept behind this is the fact that criminals do not follow laws. If they did, there would be no heroin or cocaine, as they are illegal drugs. No, the fact is that criminals thrive on gun laws, like the bill proposed by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, because their victims become disarmed and defenseless.
Think about it for a moment. Criminals have access to the black market, whilst the general public has access to no market. The criminals would have access, in this case, to high-capacity magazines and high-precision rifles, while the people would have nothing that could possibly compete with that. And this isn�t just my opinion.
This isn�t just some crackpot theory. This is evidenced by the crime rates of Chicago, New York, England, Australia, Japan and other places that have strict gun laws. In fact, in the USA, Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. They also have the highest municipal crime rate in the nation.
This is true as well in other countries, like the United Kingdom. In the UK, after strict gun laws were passed, the violent crime rate sky-rocketed, and it still remains the highest of any nation in Europe. New types of crimes emerged too, such as home invasions, where gangs of criminals would break into the houses of the elderly while they were home, beat them, sometimes kill them, and rob them in the process.
I, for one, do not want anything even remotely similar to what has happened in Chicago, New York, the UK, Australia and countless other places to happen here in America on a national scale. I do not want to fear for the life of my 83-year-old grandfather who lives alone.
I do not want to fear for myself, knowing that I have no way to defend myself or my family if anyone were ever to break into my house. I have a right to defend myself and others against vicious criminals when necessary. That�s what the Second Amendment is about, and it�s high time the left realize that.

Guest blogger, Karen Bilodeau, is an attorney and shareholder at McTeague Higbee. Please note, this post, like some of Governor LePage's recent comments, contain some words that may be offensive to some.
As a child, I recall the chant "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." The verse was used to reply to an insult to indicate that although the insult was received, the words had no real effect.
Today, however, we all know that words can be very harmful, and sometimes are more damaging than sticks and stones.
Last year, the high school students at Edward Little High School in Auburn and Lewiston High School recognized the damaging effects of insults thrown around on Twitter and Facebook, where some account holders were engaged in online bullying. Online accounts under the name of "@LewistonBitches" and "@AuburnBitches" had started posting online comments that included racist and sexist remarks. Most of the posts were vulgar, included profanity and attacked specific people directly. Some posts called specific students "'hoe' of the day," while others attacked the sexual orientation of other students.
Some students at Edward Little created sites to counteract the bullying. One student created a Twitter account to attempt to neutralize the bullying by posting comments to those specifically attacked such as "you're beautiful don't let bullying get you down" and "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Don't let bullies get to you!" Little did I know, when I read about the bullying in the Lewiston-Sun Journal, that the online site that was known as "@auburnangels3" had been created by my daughter to attack the bullying.
Bullying in school becomes a form of harassment in the workplace – something Governor LePage has become very used to. His recent public comments to State Senator Troy Jackson from Allagash is simply a public form of bullying similar to the high school taunts that appeared on Facebook and Twitter. When Sen. Jackson said he had the votes to override a veto from LePage on the bipartisan state budget, LePage responded with a vulgar, personal attack on the Senator. "People like Troy Jackson, they ought to go back in the woods and cut trees and let someone with a brain come down here and do some work." He continued by saying "He is bad. He has no brains, and he has a black heart."
But the most shocking, offensive, and, frankly, juvenile comment was, "Sen. Jackson claims to be for the people, but he's the first one to give it to the people of Maine without providing Vaseline."
What? It is disappointing that our "leader" has chosen a public forum to demonstrate his lack of respect of others and most importantly his lack of understanding of the impact of his derogatory comments.
When people in supervisory and leadership positions such as our "esteemed" Governor make comments of sexual nature that are meant to make people who work for them uncomfortable, that is sexual harassment. This kind of harassment is illegal when it gets to the point that it creates a hostile work environment. That is certainly the case with this administration and the Legislature at this point. Not only is LePage's M.O. to simply belittle whomever disagrees with him through insults, his comments about Senator Jackson were beyond a minor infraction. It was a sustained, public attack on the man's intelligence and morals.
As a businessman, LePage should know that this type of action would not be allowed in the business world. There would be consequences to pay. Employees often follow management in how they interact with one another and if the leader has a blatant disregard for sexist and violent comments one wonders to what extent that could contribute to sexual harassment in the work place. But as Governor, somehow, he has skated off easily with a simple apology for those who were offended.
While adults everywhere are busy crafting anti-bullying programs to teach our children how to handle adversity and how not to create hostile situations, our own governor is setting the wrong example. There is no room for bullying or harassment. Not on the playground. Not on Facebook. Not by our Governor.
Perhaps Governor LePage needs a high school student to step up and teach him how to act in the adult world as well.

On Thursday, Belmont Abbey College�s Tyshawn Good added another title: All-American.
Good, a 6-foot-1 senior from Jamaica, N.Y., was named to the first team NCAA Division II All-America team by Daktronics.
Already named all-conference for the second straight season and last week named region player of the year, Good led all men�s scorers in college basketball with a 27.0 average this season.
In the process, Good shattered Belmont Abbey�s single-scoring records for points and average, became only the fifth 2,000-point scorer in school history and was named MVP for Crusaders in their first Conference Carolinas tournament title run since 2003.
Good used driving, slashing scoring moves as well as long-range shooting to amass his 864 points this season and 2,012 for his career. He tallied 40 or more points in a game four times this season, including a career-high 44 points in a victory at Pfeiffer.
Good also was efficient, shooting 51.4 percent from the field, 41.0 percent on 3-pointers and 83.7 percent at the free throw line and averaged 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game in addition to his nation-leading scoring average.

Quality Price Value
The instructions provided to set the system up, however, are rather poor. Illustrations are too small, the text confusing, insufficient, and hard to follow given the different ways to assemble depending upon retention choice.
If I'd change anything about the system, I'd make it possible to use both shell halves together, to more fully enclose the gun and stiffen the whole assembly. (Posted on 6/11/2019)

Only gripe I have is the thumb release. It does function as intended in releasing the firearm however, I feel like it can be improved on and operate more smoothly as it feels "sticky". (Posted on 4/30/2019)

Quote from: apskip on April 01, 2013, 10:38:47 AMI see the issue as World Race Productions not having a first task near the AR22 start line to "separate the wheat from the chaff" as Phil has said earlier. If they had, probably the composition of the first flight would have been closer to the teams now remaining.I disagree. The way I see it, most of the teams eliminated so far weren't inept continuously, they were pretty competitive people who ran into just one inconvenience that sealed their fate:* The twins are done by facing the one challenge they were not ready to deal with* Jessica & John were done for their bad luck and lack of judgment, after they had been racing consistently well* Dave & Connor were leading the pack in spite of their injury and only had to withdraw out of medical concern* Pam & Winnie were also leading in later legs but were done by what could only be considered a "brain fart"I believe these four teams wold have had a chance at the million had they not tripped.
I see the issue as World Race Productions not having a first task near the AR22 start line to "separate the wheat from the chaff" as Phil has said earlier. If they had, probably the composition of the first flight would have been closer to the teams now remaining.
That's why I love this season.We could say it's "unpredictable" (only if we don't have spoilers ) but still, when was the last time we've had all frontrunners in the first quarter/half of the race eliminated?
Actually, you can go back to season 2 in Namibia for the origin of this.In that season, and in a couple of subsequent seasons the teams were instructed in the clue instructions not to exceed a stated speed limit. The stated limited was a lower speed than what was legally permitted. In these cases, the teams would receive a penalty of 30 minutes plus the amount of time saved from speeding. (The documentation was in the film shot by the camera crew, who were recording the speedometer during the task.)When teams violated local traffic laws, the teams has to deal with the local police on the matter, and pay whatever fine was assessed. That was the case in this last episode with both teams that had to pay the fine out of their cash they had accumulated by that point in the Race.That latter rule also applies to violating other traffic laws, as was the case for one team that ran afoul of the Moscow police; I'd have to look for which season, but the show did show the team getting a traffic ticket (IIRC, the team had driven in to an area where traffic had been temporarily blocked.)Hope that helps.
