In her June 20 column (subscription required), New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote about an online video produced by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) presidential campaign that features Sen. Clinton and former President Bill Clinton spoofing a scene from the series finale of HBO's The Sopranos. Dowd wrote that Sen. Clinton, like Tony Soprano, "is so power-hungry that she can justify any thuggish means to get the prize." While Dowd used the occasion of the Sopranos spoof to make an explicit comparison between Sen. Clinton and a fictional character who has engaged in acts of murder and torture, her column is hardly the first to portray the Clintons and their staff as ruthless and even violent. Dowd herself, as well as numerous other media figures, have characterized them in that way before.
The June 20 column marked the second consecutive piece by Dowd that has mentioned Clinton in connection with a mob boss. In her June 17 column (subscription required), she wrote that "[t]he Clintons act high-minded and do-gooding, while employing a staff of hit men" and went on to pose the "big question" raised by Sen. Clinton's recent financial disclosures: "As long as a guy was willing to give them millions, would it matter if his name were Al Capone?" Dowd has made similar comparisons between the Clintons and the Sopranos in columns on June 6, 2004, May 16, 2001, and April 16, 2000 (subscription required).
Additionally, Dowd has warned Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) about Clinton, writing in her December 13, 2006, column (subscription required) -- titled "Will Hillzilla Crush Obambi?" -- that Clinton's "campaign will be ruthless in stomping on Obambi." And in a March 3 column (subscription required), Dowd wrote that "[a]s a woman, she [Clinton] clearly feels she must be aggressive in showing she can 'deck' opponents," and referred to Clinton aide Howard Wolfson as "her pinstriped thug."
Rush Limbaugh
Dowd's latest comparison -- that "like Tony," Sen. Clinton "can justify any thuggish means" -- recalled right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh's scurrilous suggestion that Sen. Clinton had then-deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster murdered while she was first lady. Media Matters for America has documented numerous instances (here, here, and here) of Limbaugh insinuating that the Clintons were involved in the death of Foster, who committed suicide in Northern Virginia's Fort Marcy Park on July 20, 1993. Limbaugh has also advised a caller to "go to Fort Marcy Park" on the caller's upcoming visit to Washington, D.C., and "[s]ee if you get out alive."
Dana Milbank
On the January 24 broadcast of National Public Radio's Morning Edition, discussing the potential 2008 presidential candidates who attended President Bush's State of the Union address, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank asserted: "Hillary Clinton was situated immediately behind Barack Obama, making it easier for her to actually place the knife into his back, if that's what she was trying to do." Later, on the January 24 edition of MSNBC News Live, Milbank repeated his line to host Chris Jansing. Jansing opined: "I don't think [director] Martin Scorsese could have staged this one better, Senator Clinton sitting right behind Senator Obama during the State of the Union." Milbank called Clinton's seat "a perfect spot" and stated: "She could have inserted the knife right there without even being detected."
Chris Matthews
On the April 24, 2005, edition of the NBC-syndicated Chris Matthews Show, host Chris Matthews referred to Sen. Clinton as "sort of a Madame Defarge of the left" -- a slur previously advanced by conservative syndicated columnist and former CNN host Robert Novak and MSNBC host Monica Crowley.
Madame Defarge is a villainous character in Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities. According to BookRags.com, a website that provides study guides for classic novels, Madame Defarge is "a cruel, vengeance-seeking agent of the [French] revolution ... [who] spends her days knitting a 'register' of names of people she has marked for death."
Glenn Beck
On January 19, CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck discussed a baseless allegation by InsightMag.com that the Clinton campaign had falsely alleged that Obama was educated at a madrassa. In reference to that accusation, Beck stated that if "you hear a strange grinding noise coming from the Clinton estate, it could be Hillary Clinton sharpening her knives in the basement."
Dennis Miller
On the December 22, 2006, edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Fox News contributor Dennis Miller advised Obama that "if Michael Corleone's admonition about where to keep your enemies is true, well, Obama should have one Clinton skin grafted on." Miller added: "The Clintons will put the long knives in on Obama when they need to, and one hopes that he doesn't have that startled 'Et tu, Bubba?' look on his face when they do it."
John Fund
In his December 18, 2006, column commenting on a potential race between Sen. Clinton and Obama, Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund predicted that Clinton and "her side will haul out the brass knuckles to stop him."
Howard Fineman
On the October 27, 2002, edition of the Chris Matthews Show, Newsweek chief political correspondent Howard Fineman said that "the people who are running the Democratic campaign behind the scenes are Bill and Hillary Clinton and all of their friends from the Clinton years," a group he described as "basically the Corleones and the Barzinis."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Stanford coach David Shaw has won the Pac-12 Conference's Coach of the Year award for the second straight season.
Southern California wide receiver Marqise Lee also was named the league's Offensive Player of the Year and Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton the Defensive Player of the Year on Monday. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota took home Offensive Freshman of the Year honors and Trojans freshman defensive end Leonard Williams won on the defensive side.
Shaw is the fifth coach in league history to win the award in consecutive seasons. He helped Stanford overcome the departure of No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Luck, seamlessly made a midseason quarterback change from Josh Nunes to Kevin Hogan, and overtook Oregon to take the North Division crown.
Lee set conference records with 112 receptions for 1,680 yards to go with 14 touchdowns. Sutton led the Pac-12 with 1.82 tackles for loss per game and also registered 10 1/2 sacks.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Nicholas A.
Thursday, March 20, 2014
By: Nicholas Akbari
After many ups and downs in life, in that exact hour, I was thinking to myself that I'm a healthy man, hold my MBA, attending law school to become a lawyer . I'm about to get to the ocean in southern California and head to surf in the waves. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and I got into the water. I was going to catch the waves, but this time a big wave caught me off guard and as soon as I got out of the wave, I realized that I can't see anymore! The left side of my body didn't belong to me! I knew my life was going to end but I'm a surfer and I don't wanna die this way!
It was hard to stand still but I was taken out of the water, went into a long coma and I was diagnosed with artery stroke! My left cerebellum was dead and taken out and now I had to learn how to sit and walk all over again!
I spent the next couple of years in and out of the hospital. My driver license was taken away from me due to California DMV regulations. The law (Vehicle CodeSections 13800, 13801) required me to take test to reclaim my driver license.
Since the accident, life went into a different direction, I had so much on my plate and I was unable to finish law school, some made fun of the way I walk on the street ( my balance wasn't perfect sometime when I was tried of walking) some friends and family moved on with their lives and I was alone!
Until I read the following:
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you're hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!
Rocky Balboa
Yes the world ain't sunshine and rainbows!! I JUST had a lady in my life who I loved so much but she left me! My prayers and best wishes goes toher but nobody hits as hard as life!
Get ready, emotionally and physically! I've been working out almost for six years now, rebuilt my body and mind and I know you can do the same.

And here is a review by Pixel Dan of Super7's release of MOTUC Quakke!
Check it out:
Quakke is one of those characters who has awesome potentailly in the MOTUC. He has a built in seismograph in his suit, and his Weapon, the Grabatron Mace, is one of the most unique weapons created for the motu universe. And the mace was supposed to be holding Meteaors. I always imagined his grabatron mace has having some sort gravity device that would pull in these meteaors and comets. The size and makeup of the comet would then allow Quakke to create a massive earthquake by slamming the meteaors into the ground. The energy created by the earthquake, is then absorbed into his suit, which powers it up and increases all his attributes. A power hungry massive brute with an amazing weapon, makes for a great henchman for Flogg.

Pregnancy and Drugs
- Introduction
- How do I know which prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications are harmful?
- Which medications should I avoid?
- If a father takes drugs/medications, will this affect the baby?
- What kinds of illegal drugs are harmful to fetuses?
- Is smoking/tobacco use during pregnancy harmful?
- Can I drink alcohol if I'm pregnant?
- What does drinking during pregnancy do to a baby?
- How much caffeine can I drink while I'm pregnant?
- What kind of health problems can women and children who were exposed to DES (diethylstilbestrol) have?
|A discussion of medications in pregnancy requires an understanding of how drugs are studied for efficacy (how well they work) and side effects in the general population. The best way to study any medication is to compare its effects to those of a placebo (sugar pill) in two identical groups of patients. This is called a randomized clinical trial. A large group of patients is randomly divided to create two equal groups. Randomly dividing them assures that any factors such as smoking, alcohol use, or coexisting medical problems is equally represented in each group, therefore canceling each other's effects. One group is given the study medication; the other group is given a placebo that should have no effect. In a "double blind study," both the patients being studied and the investigators are unaware of whether a patient is receiving the study medication or a placebo. This will prevent the investigator or patient from introducing his/her bias into the outcome.
|The best way of testing the effects of drugs on pregnancy would be to find two identical groups of pregnant women and give one group the drug to be studied, and give the other group a placebo (or sugar pill). Very few studies are done that way…
Very few studies involve pregnant patients. Most of the information we have comes from groups of women who were on a medication because of the belief that the benefits of the drug outweighed any potential risk-for example, drugs taken for seizure disorders, asthma, or mental illness. Fewer groups involve women who were undergoing treatment without the knowledge of being pregnant. Because there is no comparison group, the true effect of the medication is not exactly known. There is the possibility that the effect seen is secondary to the condition being treated, and not the medication given. For instance, it is believed that spinal cord defects are an effect of anti-seizure medication, but there is some evidence that women who suffer seizures are at increased risk of having an infant with a spinal cord defect despite the drugs used.
Many other confusing issues can arise that make studying drugs in pregnancy difficult. For one, there is a 2-3% random chance of a birth defect for every pregnancy. This makes it difficult to determine if the drug in question was the culprit or if the pregnancy had problems that resulted from random chance. As always, the best advice is to consult with your doctor and pharmacist about the potential risks versus benefits of any medication.
How do I know which prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications are harmful?
Drugs are given a pregnancy risk factor category of A through E by the Food and Drug Administration (and sometimes X) depending upon what has been learned through various animal and human studies done with the drug. If you are pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any drugs. Descriptions of pregnancy risk factor categories are listed below:
FDA Pregnancy Risk Factor Categories
CATEGORY A: Controlled studies in women fail to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters), and the possibility of fetal harm appears remote.
CATEGORY B: Either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a fetal risk, but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women, or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the first trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters).
CATEGORY C: Either studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on the fetus (teratogenic or embryocidal, or other), and there are no controlled studies in women, or studies in women and animals are not available. Drugs should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
CATEGORY D: There is positive evidence of human fetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).
CATEGORY E: Studies in animals or human beings have demonstrated fetal abnormalities, or there is evidence of fetal risk based on human experience, or both, and the risk of the use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.
Which medications should I avoid?
There are some medications that we know cause harm when used in pregnancy and should be avoided. Some examples of these medications are:
Aspirin – Aspirin is a Category C drug. Studies of aspirin during pregnancy have been difficult to perform because many patients fail to report taking aspirin during their pregnancy because they forgot they had used it and it is a commonly used medication. Nevertheless, there have been many associated side effects to mothers and babies while taking full-dose aspirin during pregnancy. This is not the same as taking a baby aspirin, which is recommended for some women who are at high risk of developing pregnancy-associated complications. It is especially important to avoid aspirin during the last 3 months of pregnancy, because it can cause problems in the fetus or complications during delivery. Tylenol taken in moderation can be used as a substitute.
Accutane – Accutane, or isotretinoin, is a powerful prescription drug that can clear severe acne. If taken during pregnancy, it can cause birth defects (such as heart defects, small jaw, cleft palate, and skull and facial disfigurements) in about 1 of every 4 fetuses. It can also cause miscarriages. Currently, doctors will not prescribe Accutane to pregnant women, women who are trying to become pregnant, or women who are not taking effective contraception and are at risk of pregnancy. Before being permitted to take Accutane, a woman of child-bearing age must sign a consent form stating that she has been fully informed of the drug's side effects.
Tegison – Tegison, or Etretinate, is a prescription drug to treat psoriasis. Pregnant women are forbidden to use this drug. Since it is not known how long pregnancy should be avoided after treatment stops, a woman must plan on never having children if she is treated with Tegison. Women of childbearing age must have a pregnancy test within 2 weeks before beginning treatment to make sure they are not pregnant. Contraception must be continued during treatment and for as long as you are able to become pregnant after treatment is stopped. Be sure to discuss this information with your doctor.
Thalidomide – Thalidomide is a sedative drug that was introduced in 1958 and widely used to treat the morning sickness of pregnancy. It was later found to cause miscarriage and severe birth defects, such as stunted, shortened limbs and other deformities of the arms and legs, cleft palate, deafness, and blindness. While it is not approved for general sale in the United States anymore, the FDA still allows Thalidomide to be used in certain studies for the treatment of other diseases and conditions, such as skin sores caused by lupus and leprosy. Thalidomide is also used to treat problems that are caused by other diseases, such as severe mouth ulcers and graft-versus-host disease (a kind of transplant rejection). Women of childbearing age should not participate in studies involving Thalidomide unless they are currently practicing abstinence (not having sexual intercourse) or a highly reliable form of birth control.
If a father takes drugs/medications, will this affect the baby?
Little is known about the effect of drugs and medications on the baby when the father takes them, but it is believed to be little or none. The medications taken by the father are likely to have an "all or nothing" effect on his sperm. In other words, the only effect would probably be lower sperm production and infertility. There are few drugs that will affect sperm production in this way. However, second-hand smoke by a father affects the health of fetuses and newborns. New studies show that if a woman's partner smokes near her during her pregnancy, there are added risks. She has a greater chance of having a baby with a low birth weight and other health problems.
What kinds of illegal drugs are harmful to fetuses?
All illegal drugs can be harmful to fetuses, and should be avoided during pregnancy. Some of the most common illegal drugs and their side effects are listed below:
Marijuana – The research studies on marijuana effects on fetal development during pregnancy are based on animal studies and the results are conflicting. Some studies have shown that infants exposed to marijuana will have fine tremors, and irritability. What is known is that marijuana does cross into the fetal circulation and reduces the amount of oxygen available to the growing fetus.
Crack/Cocaine – Crack and cocaine have some of the most dangerous side effects for both the mother and the baby. Some complications the mother may experience include cardiovascular problems, pulmonary disease, liver damage, seizures and death. They are also at increased risk for preterm labor and delivery, and have babies with a lower birth weight. As blood pressure rises, the placenta can separate from the uterus causing fetal death and serious bleeding problems in the mother. Other effects of cocaine use include birth defects and brain damage in the baby.
Heroin – Heroin users are at high risk for malnutrition, anemia, pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure occurring in pregnancy), placental abnormalities, pre-term labor, and premature rupture of membranes. The infant will often be born addicted to heroin, and will go through withdrawal following birth. These infants are irritable, difficult to comfort, have a shrill high cry, and may have seizures.
Often, there are associated problems with alcohol and drug use, such as poor nutrition and infections, which harm the pregnancy. If someone you know is using drugs in pregnancy, she should be encouraged to seek help for her health and the health of their baby.
Is smoking/tobacco use during pregnancy harmful?
A woman who smokes takes in poisons such as nicotine and carbon monoxide (the same gas that comes out of a car's exhaust pipe). These poisons get into the placenta, which is the tissue that connects the mother and the baby before it is born. These poisons keep a fetus from getting the food and oxygen it needs to grow. Smoking is associated with pregnancy complications, early menopause, and reduced fertility. Women who smoke during pregnancy increase the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, low birth weight babies, ectopic pregnancies (implanting of the embryo outside of the uterus), and infant death. Tobacco use during pregnancy slows the growth of a fetus, especially in women who smoke more than 1 pack per day. Infants are also more likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (crib-death) if their mothers smoke. Second-hand smoke from other people also affects a pregnant woman and her fetus. For more information on smoking, click here.
Can I drink alcohol if I'm pregnant?
You should not drink alcohol while you are pregnant. If you plan to get pregnant, do not drink. If you drank alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, stop now. When you drink alcohol, so does your baby. Drinking any type of alcohol during pregnancy can hurt your baby. This includes beer, wine, wine coolers, liquor and mixed drinks. Although not all babies are affected, there is no established safe amount that can be taken in pregnancy. Alcohol can hurt a baby even if you are only 1 or 2 months pregnant.
What does drinking during pregnancy do to a baby?
Drinking can cause a variety of physical and behavioral problems that are not curable and will not go away. Children born with the most serious problems caused by alcohol have fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Children with FAS may:
How much caffeine can I drink while I'm pregnant?
The effects of caffeine on a fetus are still not clear. One study found that pregnant women consuming moderate to heavy amounts (150mg/day or one and a half cups of coffee) are more likely to experience late first and second trimester spontaneous abortions (miscarriage) compared to women who consume less than 150mg daily. Consuming 300mg (3 cups of coffee) or more is considered heavy usage, and those women are 50% more likely to spontaneously abort. Caffeine may cause spontaneous abortion by altering the blood flow to the placenta. Another side effect of decreased blood flow is that the baby does not receive all of the nourishment it needs. Malnourishment can restrict growth and lower birth weight. Caffeine consumption of 300mg or more increases the risk of having a low birth-weight baby, and may cause a reduction in head circumference as well. Other equally well designed studies have shown no influence of caffeine on pregnancy.
1 cup of coffee = about 100mg of caffeine
What kind of health problems can women and children who were exposed to DES have?
DES (diethylstilbestrol) was used to prevent miscarriages from 1938 to 1971. In 1971, use of DES during pregnancy was related to an increase in the number of clear cell carcinomas of the vagina of female babies. The peak incidence of vaginal cancer in the child was at age 19. Use of the drug was also related to deformities in the development of the uterus that can increase the chance of miscarriage. The women exposed to DES in the uterus may have a problem with the cervix (opening to the uterus) dilating and opening prematurely in the second trimester of pregnancy. DES has not been used in pregnant women since 1971. We do not know whether the women who were exposed while in their mother's wombs are at risk for development of other cancers.
It has been estimated that 5 to 10 million people were exposed to DES during pregnancy. Many of these people are not aware that they were exposed. A woman who was pregnant between 1938 and 1971 and had problems or a history of problems during pregnancy may have been given DES or a similar drug. If you think you or your mother used a hormone such as DES during pregnancy, you should try to contact the attending physician or the hospital where the delivery took place to ask whether there is any record that you or your mother received DES. If any pills were taken during pregnancy, records should be checked to determine the name of the drug. Mothers and children have a right to this information.
Women who took DES: Women who took DES are advised to pay particular attention to their breast care, because they may have a small increase in their risk of breast cancer. Mothers are advised to tell their DES-exposed sons and daughters about their exposure, even if these children have not had health problems. They need to know about DES so they can get the health care they need.
DES Sons: Men who were exposed to DES before birth (while their mother was pregnant) are at increased risk for non-cancerous cysts on the back of the testicles (on the epididymis) and for underdeveloped testicles. DES sons should practice testicular self-examinations regularly. There has been little research on the effects of DES exposure in DES sons, but new studies are in progress. To protect your health, find out if you were exposed, and stay informed of new research findings.
DES Daughters: Women who were exposed to DES before birth need regular screening exams for a rare form of vaginal cancer (early detection saves lives). This exam is somewhat different from the one for non-exposed women. It should begin at puberty and continue throughout their lives. All DES daughters need special care beginning in the first weeks of pregnancy, even if they have already had children. With proper care, most DES daughters can have successful pregnancies.
In general, a woman should consult with her physician before starting any new medications during pregnancy. This includes over the counter medications, vitamins or supplements. Women who are currently taking medication should discuss this with their healthcare provider before becoming pregnant. This will assure the best possible outcome for your pregnancy.

Destiny Q&A Reveals New Competitive Multiplayer Mode
A Q&A for Destiny has answered many fan queries, but also hints at a new, unannounced gametype called Raids.
The PlayStation Blog features fan questions and answers from DeeJ, Bungie's Community Manager.
A lot of the questions asked had to do with what makes Destiny a unique game when compared to other next-gen shooters or multiplayer games out there, what can players do solo and how big the world will be.
DeeJ replied by saying Destiny is unique because it puts you on a journey in a living world filled with people, able to take on quests alone or together.
With regard to soloing content, DeeJ said, "Ah, the proverbial Lone Wolf. You can experience Destiny's story as a party of one, assuming you're that much of a badass. Destiny will never require you to team up with other people in campaign missions. You'll see other players along the way, but you can choose to ignore them. That said, we think you'll find that playing with other Guardians is quick, painless, and a ton of fun. It's always your choice, though."
DeeJ also said that the world map is so big, that they "no longer have mission designers, but world designers, instead." It seems as if there will be much to explore with others, or alone, in Destiny.
But one of the most exciting details to come out of the Q&A was the mention of a competitive multiplayer mode called Raids, which will feature "well above three" players. Bungie isn't divulging any specifics about this gametype yet, but we'll let you know when they do.
In the meantime, check the link above for more answers to questions about Destiny, which will be released some time in 2014 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Amazing and gets better every timeThe show was just amazing. U2 was at their best, like usual but there was something special about last nights show. The emotions were high and the music was so invigorating. I am always enthralled with the shows and they tend to be more enthralling each time. The best was "One Tree Hill". Thank you Bono, Larry, Edge and Adam for the wonderful memories and many uplifting emotions your show gave me. (very much needed may I add :) )
06 July, 2011

We are already talking about how magical it will be and we all know Susan will be with us there in spirit as we sing With Or Without You and All I Want Is you! It will be a very special night for 2 boys who lost a terrific mom at too early of an age! Chicago here we come for our 4th show of the 360 Tour! ------ Thanks U2 for music that has helped us heal during this very difficult time in our lives. Deak, Chase, and Grant!

02 February, 2011
Only 5 Months to go!We can't wait to see our 4th show of the tour at Soldier Field in July! We were there in Dallas, Oklahoma, and Vegas! Each show had something unique and every show was fantastic! Soldier field in July with the Chcago skyline in the background will be fabulous! It will be here before we know it! Hope to see you there. Chase and Grant will be ready to "run around the stage with Bono" for City of Blinding Lights!!!!! as you can see in the attached photo they are already rehearsing for the show!!!! (We'll feel you with us Susan for "With or Without You!!" XXXOOO) Love, Deak, Chase, and Grant
27 January, 2011
Best Ever!I absolutely loved the show! I can't believe how great it was. Everybody in my group absolutely loved it! We all couldn't believe that we all were all just inches away from the stage when our tickets (by location) would have put our group towards the back. We also found it hard to believe that everyone who surrounded us were the nicest people and of the best character that we ever met. Because of the highest expections that U2s show reached, I'm not sure if I deserve to be at the next concert. I think that the same joy should be shared with others as it was shared with me. I'm serious. U2 makes you feel better! It's only right to share>
29 October, 2010
U2 and Chicago BlackhawksUnbelievable......Watched the Blackhawks Stanley Cup Banner ceremony from the United Center! The Blackhawk's highlight video "Winning the Cup" was set to the music of U2's "With Or Without You"! It brought tears to our eyes! It was PERFECT!!!! Thanks Susan, I know you were there with us in spirit and will be with us again at Soldier Field next July!!!! We can't wait! -- Love Deak, Chase, and Grant!
26 October, 2010
CAN'T WAITSo I went to a couple of concerts in 2010(PJ, Phish). My 2 oldest kids(9,7) have kept buggin' me since to take them to a since. So I'm proud to say their first show is going to be the GREATEST BAND ON EARTH IN THE GREATEST CITY. I've been fortunate to catch every tour from '85 till now and didnt think I was going to see 360, and I have a reprieve. Plus I can take my kids. I can't wait!!!!
20 October, 2010
U2 and BlackhawksMy wife passed from cancer in 2008. The 2 biggest things that have gotten myself and my 2 boys through it is "4" U2 concerts and the Hawks winning the cup! See you in July at Soldier Field. Deak, Chase, and Grant Play - "All I Want Is You" for Susan!
24 August, 2010
I'd also love to see U2 back in Indy!!It would indeed be awesome for U2 to come back to Indy!!
24 August, 2010
Please come back to IndyI wish U2 would come back and play a show again in Indianapolis instead of always going to Chicago. It'd be awesome to see the 360 show in the new Lucas Oil Stadium. I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I loved the show here at Conseco Fieldhouse on the Elevation Tour back then. I'd love to see you here again.

So here is deal. Anonymous comments are freakin LAME. We all know this right? But the most annoying ones are the ones that are written out of complete and utter spite. I just wrote a post about 10 Bloggy No No's that I have had to learn from during my time blogging. And pretty quickly recieved this comment:
Mandi Says:
Whoa whoa whoa. Slow the crazy train down and pull it into the Station-o-Common Sense. First off, let me just say my dear, that if you were trying to make me feel bad, you sorta were not awesome at it...womp womp.
Secondly, the post was not a list of "rules" nor was it written negatively. You must have overlooked the first line of the post, where I preface it by saying that most of these mistakes are ones that I have made MYSELF. You also must have missed the part at the end where I warned that any rude comments could end up on Hate Mail, so by leaving me a rude, anonymous comment, you've made yourself the Guest of Honor today. Enjoy your 15 seconds of fame lady!
I love blogging and I love my readers, so the point that you are CLEARLY missing (that everyone else seemed to get), is that I am trying to share what I have learned so that others don't make the same mistakes that I have. This in turn, helps to make my amazing readers' blogs more successful. Please explain to me how that can at all be considered "negative."
Most people are able to resist the urge to be mean or spiteful. You know, knowing that with a little bit of self control (or by simply leaving someones blog) that the negative feelings they have inside wont get wiped up and down blogland like a cruddy diaper. Since you my dear must not have these flair up sensors, I gladly invite you to spend your time online elsewhere and let Vintage Revivals be a place of positive spray paint fumes.
p.s. I think you might be allergic to my happiness. (You might want to get that checked...along with the flair up issue. Its no bueno.)
I would also like to thank the readers that stood up for me in the comments, it means a lot ladies!
Viv Says:
Um, so I'm clear... pointing out the proper (or more favorable way to do something) is negative...?
I only lather my hair once during a shampoo... but the shampoo bottles all say to "lather, rinse, repeat" are the shampoo companies negative? If the furniture refinishing experts point out you should lightly sand between coats, but I never do? Does that make the experts negative..?
Mandi gave some guidelines. She outlined things that she has observed in her own personal blogging experience. (Which so far appears to be pretty successful, btw. I'd give her a listen when she hands out advice.) There is no Blogger's 101... no Blogger By-Laws... you learn by experience, watching what other bloggers do or don't do. She shared, people. And if you read through the rest of the comments on that post, you'll notice that there are bloggers who didn't know they could enable their email for replies... people who didn't realize that their word verification option was enabled and/or how to change the option... people who didn't know there are many readers out there who actually don't like music playing on a blog... In other words? They appreciated Mandi's help.
My guess is that anonymous does all of these "no-nos" and is either a) a misguided rebel; b) has serious issues with constructive criticism; or c) is just lame.
Or possibly, d) all of the above...
What do you say?

I know, I'm super late with this, but even a month after my program officially ended in Florence, I'm still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that it's over. My best friend studying in Japan still has another two months left, so it's kind of surreal that I've finished so "early." In fact, I'm somewhat jealous of her because she's still involved in the experience. Everyone from my program has gone home by now, and while spending my days in Spain certainly isn't difficult, I sometimes wish I was still in school. It's bittersweet, knowing that my year of living in Florence is over.
The end of term came without much fanfare. I could have missed it, to be honest. With the rush of final exams and packing, I didn't have much time to put thought into the fact that the "most influential year of my college career" had just come to an end. It doesn't feel over, though this might be attributed to my still being in Europe. I'm sure it'll make more sense once I get back to California, or even when I see my mother and brother in person for the first time in 10 months. Even that doesn't scare me, to know that I haven't seen them in so long. With technology these days, it's not hard to keep in contact with home and friends around the world, so I don't feel like I've been out of the loop too terribly because I talk to somebody at least once every day. All that being said, the end of semester ceremony was a little different from Fall Semester's, as it had an awards ceremony. I was pleasantly surprised to be awarded the Award of Excellence in History and Political Science, so Mom was happy!
I suppose there's a lot of reflection to do on this year of my life, and while I will be continuing this blog until the end of the summer (when I return to Arizona for my senior year), I have to say that I'm glad to have done it. At the same time, blogging is a pain in the ass. I'm not very good at regular updates and sometimes I'm sparse on the details. I use FaceBook almost religiously, so this seems more like redundancy than actually being informative. From my point of view, anyway. Those of you who aren't my friends on FaceBook clearly enjoy whatever I'm doing here! Blogging was an interesting exercise, though, and I might be interested in continuing a new one through my last year in college. Honestly that one might be a bit more difficult to update, what with the thesis to do and all kinds of awesome classes.
Oh, introspection, right. I'm sure I've grown up over the year, even though I feel the same. The more overt displays of this new maturity might be my ability to cook real food now and being able to handle solo travel. I know that loads of kids might have set goals for their times abroad, and if I did, I can't remember them now. I think it'll take longer than a month for me to absorb the year for what it was, and while I'm aware that study abroad is a privilege many don't have to opportunity to explore, I sank so quickly and easily into Italian culture that I don't feel terribly lucky yet. Granted, I'm still expecting to wake up in Florence again any day now at the start of a new week of school, so I guess it hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm done.
I had entertained for a while the idea of staying a third semester. I'm very nearly done with my degree, could have graduated this year if I hadn't gone abroad, but when confronted with staying longer, I had some doubts. I wanted to spend my last year with my friends, not just one semester; I wasn't sure if I could put together my honors thesis in just a semester, and shouldn't I spend a lot longer with my director to get a good project down?; could I handle being away from home for longer than a year? There were a lot of factors to consider, and I'd been on a deadline. The various applications for another semester were due in at the beginning of March and while my coordinator back in Arizona assured me that there wouldn't be any problems if I wanted to stay, I still felt pressured to make a choice. What sealed it for me was saying goodbye to my dad after his second visit to Florence. I nearly started crying watching him go, and I took that as a sign from the universe to go back home once my allotted time was done. The year did me well. I'm sure I could have soldiered through the third semester but I'm satisfied with the decision to return to ASU and with the experience I've had.
Another deciding factor for me was the academic portion. Putting the honors thesis aside, I've signed up for some pretty brilliant classes next semester, and I'm eager to get to work on those. I'll have 21 credits in total, including the thesis placeholder course (I have to fill out some paperwork in person before I can take on the extra class), so it'll be nice to actually work hard again. Take a look at my schedule:
I only have classes on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, the last being a three hour seminar with two excellent honors professors. I'm definitely looking forward to my internship with the literary magazine, Superstition Review, as well, and the rest of the classes are going to be excellent as well. It'll be great to study subjects related to my major again. Hopefully I'll be able to get a job, too. Having two free days should be incentive, otherwise all I'll be doing is homework and sleeping. Not that I have a problem with that, but I think my parents would appreciate me actually doing something productive every once in a while.
Anyway, this entry feels empty and unfulfilling because you'd think I'd have more to say on finishing up the year. Unfortunately I don't but hopefully as the new semester approaches and my time in Europe actually comes to a close, I'll have more reflections to share with you. That being said, my mom and brother will be getting on a plane tomorrow bound for Paris, so I'll pick them up on Saturday. Next entry: my trip to Dublin and life post-school in Spain.

(Reuters) – Russia and China vetoed on Saturday an Arab- and Western-backed resolution at the U.N. Security Council calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down over his bloody crackdown on a popular uprising.
The setback in diplomatic efforts to defuse the revolt peacefully came after world leaders and Syrian opposition activists accused Assad's forces of killing hundreds of people in a bombardment of the city of Homs, the bloodiest night in 11 months of upheaval in the pivotal Arab country.
Shortly before the Security Council voted, President Barack Obama denounced the "unspeakable assault" on Homs, demanded that Assad leave power immediately and called for U.N. action against Assad's "relentless brutality."
"Yesterday the Syrian government murdered hundreds of Syrian citizens, including women and children, in Homs through shelling and other indiscriminate violence, and Syrian forces continue to prevent hundreds of injured civilians from seeking medical help," Obama said in a statement. "Any government that brutalizes and massacres its people does not deserve to govern."
He and other Western and Arab leaders put unprecedented pressure on Assad's veto-wielding ally Russia to allow the Security Council to pass a resolution backing an Arab League call for Assad to transfer powers to a deputy.
Apart from Russia and China, the other 13 Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution, which would have said that the council "fully supports" the Arab League plan.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday it had not been possible to work constructively with Russia ahead of the vote, even though military intervention in Syria – fiercely opposed by Moscow – had been absolutely ruled out.
"I thought that there might be some ways to bridge, even at this last moment, a few of the concerns that the Russians had. I offered to work in a constructive manner to do so. That has not been possible," she told reporters at the Munich Security Conference.
After what U.S. officials called "vigorous" talks between Clinton and Lavrov, Moscow announced that its foreign minister would fly to Syria in three days to meet Assad.
Mohammed Loulichki, the U.N. ambassador of Morocco, the sole Arab member of the 15-nation council, voiced his "great regret and disappointment" that Moscow and Beijing joined forces to strike down the resolution.
French Ambassador Gerard Araud told the council, "It is a sad day for this council, a sad day for all Syrians, and a sad day for democracy."
Diplomats said that China had been expected to follow Russia's lead. Russia's decision to vote against the resolution came after U.S. and European officials rejected a series of Russian amendments to the draft resolution.
Moscow said before the vote that the resolution was not "hopeless," but its wording needed to be altered to avoid "taking sides in a civil war." Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it was still possible to reach consensus.
But U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said amendments that Russia had proposed were "unacceptable."
France called the Homs assault a "massacre" and a "crime against humanity." Turkey said hundreds had been killed and the United Nations must act. Tunisia expelled the Syrian ambassador, and the flag above its embassy was brought down.

Stein to deliver war diaries performance
When actress and playwright Susan Stein comes to campus, it'll be Etty Hillesum's message she brings with her – one she first discovered at a yard sale for 50 cents.
In 1994, Stein purchased Hillesum's letters and diaries, on which she later based her one-woman play, "Etty," which she'll perform on campus Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Rapaporte Treasure Hall. The diaries were kept during Nazi occupation by Hillesum, a young Jewish woman from Amsterdam.
Directed by Austin Pendleton, the work has been praised for its honesty and complexity, and was nominated by Amnesty International for the organization's Freedom of Expression Award.
"It is a portrayal of one woman's struggle to sustain her humanity and connection to Judaism in the face of the Nazi's unspeakable brutality," says Elena Korn '13, International and Global Studies, Peace, Conflict and Coexistence Studies, & Women's and Gender Studies, who worked with help to bring the show to campus.
"[Stein] really fell in love with the character and did a ton of research and discovered this person who was alive so long," Korn added. "And that's when she started writing the play."
Chronicling the two-year period between 1941 and her death in 1943, the play uses Hillesum's own words and delves into her dire ethical dilemmas and her struggle to maintain faith in humanity on the eve of her deportation to Auschwitz. Her diaries of this time were published two decades ago as "An Interrupted Life."
Following the performance, Stein; Antony Polonsky, the Albert Abramson Professor of Holocaust Studies; Dawn Skorczewski, director of University Writing and associate professor of English; and Palle Yourgrau, Harry A. Wolfson Professor of Philosophy, will participate in a discussion, moderated by Andreas Teuber, associate professor of philosophy.
The free event is sponsored by the Center for German and European Studies and the departments of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies, philosophy and theater arts, as well as the programs in peace and conflict studies, coexistence and conflict, international sustainable development and the Institute for the Study of European Jewry.

BELMONT � Conference Carolinas basketball league games in January can certainly be a grind, as evidenced by Belmont Abbey�s eighth league game in 22 days on Saturday.
That�s also why Saturday�s doubleheader sweep of visiting Lees-McRae felt good for the Crusaders.
Not only did the Abbey bounce back after a doubleheader loss at Mount Olive two nights earlier, but each team improved their positioning in tight conference races.
The Lady Crusaders held off a Lady Bobcats rally to win 64-60 and take their 18th straight home victory over Lees-McRae in the opener, then the Crusaders trailed only once in a thorough 98-74 victory in the nightcap for their 12th straight victory over the Bobcats.
Both teams strengthened their positions in the upper half of the league and will get four days off before returning to action on Thursday at home against Coker in a 5:30 p.m. doubleheader.
�I thought we showed a lot of maturity in playing hard and playing with a lead,� said Crusaders coach Stephen Miss, whose 13-6, 6-5 team had played (in order) perennial league powers Barton, Limestone, Queens and Mount Olive in its four previous games. �We really won the last five minutes of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half and got a true team effort from a lot of guys.�
Belmont Abbey senior guard Tyshawn Good, the leading scorer in NCAA Division II with a 25.8 average, scored his average with a game-high 25 points. Darryl Durham added 20 points and nine rebounds, Jay Council 13 points, Terrone Sheffey 11 points and Chris Davis eight points, six rebounds and four steals. Council�s effort put him within 10 points of 1,000 for his four-year career.
Good also sparked a first-half run after Lees-McRae took its only lead at 12-10 with 14:06 to play in the opening half. Good scored nine points in the next five minutes as the Crusaders would eventually lead 42-33 at the half.
A 24-10 burst to open the second half put the Abbey ahead 66-43 with 13:41 to play � and effectively ended any doubt about the game�s outcome.
Charles Clarke led Lees-McRae (1-16, 1-10) with 18 points
In the opener, Kelsey Long and Morgan Midkiff combined for 28 points and six 3-pointers in the opening half as the Crusaders built as much as a 14-point lead.
But Lees-McRae (7-8, 5-7) closed within 58-56 with 1:39 to play before Long converted her sixth and final 3-pointer and Caitlyn Ranson, Midkiff and Candace Fox all converted free throws in the final 32.1 seconds to sew up the victory.
�Maybe we lost a little intensity after that early lead,� said coach Susan Yow, whose team improved to 8-8, 7-5. �They were really aggressive and came at us hard. But we found a way to hang on and win.�
Long�s 23 points led the Lady Crusaders. Midkiff added 18 points, Ranson 11 and McKenzie Owen six with a game-high eight rebounds. Lauren Lewis� 14 points led the Lady Bobcats (7-8, 5-7).

The Investigative Mission
Since its inception in 1865, the Secret Service was created to investigate and prevent counterfeiting. Today the agency's investigative mission has evolved from enforcing counterfeiting laws to safeguarding the payment and financial systems of the United States from a wide range of financial and computer-based crimes. To combat these crimes, the Secret Service has adopted a proactive approach, using advanced technologies and capitalizing on the power of task force partnerships.
The U.S. Secret Service has a pivotal role in securing the nation's critical infrastructures, specifically in the areas of cyber, banking and finance. Other directives address the need to combat transnational organized crime that targets the citizens and financial institutions of the United States. In response to the globalization of technology- based threats, the U.S. Secret Service's investigative mission abroad is growing as well, creating the need for a heightened overseas liaison presence.
Today, multi-disciplined forensics experts, investigative experts and intelligence analysts provide rapid response and critical information in support of financial analysis, infrastructure protection and criminal investigations.
An ultraviolet light source is used to verify the authenticity of a questioned note.
The Secret Service constantly implements and evaluates prevention and response measures to guard against electronic crimes as well as other computer related fraud.
Special agents comb through seized evidence following the arrests of several individuals involved in a counterfeiting operation.
We should have a regular permanent force whose job it will be to put these counterfeiters out of business.
- Hugh McCulloch – Secretary of the Treasury

I've never owned a bow tie nor knew how to tie one before, but always wanted to learn how. So I found Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont online and couldn't believe their wide selection. From classy to cool and everything in-between... they've got it all! I was really impressed too with how well the bow tie came packaged. It took me 30 minutes to learn how to tie it, and it looks great! Bow ties are making a comeback gentlemen, and if you want to stand out... this company is the ticket!

A friend recently gave me a bow tie from Beau Ties Ltd of Vermont. On the tag I found the name of the company and wondered if they had a web site. They do, of course, and I found that searching through the categories and placing an order was very easy. I bought three of the ties named for famous composers: Gershwin, Mozart, and Williams. The ordering process was simple, and the shipment arrived with only a short delay. Each of these ties is made of quality materials and is strikingly beautiful. I have already received great, positive comments from friends who have seen me wear them.

Usage of virtualization technologies and cloud computing has been relatively tepid to date. But a new survey of 100 CIOs based in the U.S., conducted by the research firm Worldwide Executive Council on behalf of Apptio, a provider of IT financial management software, finds that adoption rates for virtualization and cloud computing should increase dramatically over the next 12 months.
However, the study also finds that making the financial case for virtualization technologies and cloud computing is frequently not clear cut. And without clarity into the true costs, adoption of these related sets of technologies may not be as robust as some might think.

Jefferson County Commissioners Court approves $250k for American Eagle
The Jefferson County Commissioners Court approved a $250,000 contribution from the county to a "minimum revenue guarantee" (MRG) to American Airlines for a new American Eagle route between Jack Brooks Regional Airport and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
According to County Judge Jeff Branick, as owner of the airport, Jefferson County needs to do its part to see that the project moves forward in order to bring new revenue locally. "This is part of our commitment. … We need to kick this off," he said at the Commissioners Court on Monday, Sept. 10.
"I'm with that," agreed Commissioner Alfred "Bo" Everett. "We need to take leadership." Everett continued by suggesting that he and his fellow commissioners fly the route when traveling in order to encourage the community to take advantage of the service.
Branick said if American Airlines is guaranteed $1.5 to $2 million over the next two years, consumers cold expect three to four flights a day between Beaumont and DFW. Branick said passengers taking off from Jack Brooks Regional Airport would only pay around $25 more for a ticket than those taking off from George Bush International Airport in Houston.
