GOP Propaganda Guru Scared to Death of Occupy -- 10 Ways He's Trying to Spin the Movement
Frank Luntz has been helping to distort the language of Republicans for decades. His specialty is developing dishonest phrases to replace accurate descriptions of social and political issues when the accurate descriptions produce negative impressions of conservatives and their unpopular agenda.
Luntz created the term "death tax" as a substitute for "estate tax," reasoning that it would be easier to steer low-information voters away from a tax on dying than a tax on people who own estates. He also supplied the term "government-run" to replace "public option" during the health care debate after determining that focus groups responded less favorably to the label that implied falsely that government would get between you and your doctor.
It is common to observe Luntz's fabrications getting adopted by conservative politicians and media. He is a frequent presence on Fox News and has been cited as their main source for right-leaning rhetoric. He serves the same purpose for political clients, and in that role he just spoke at the Republican Governors Association to deliver an ominous warning:
"I'm so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I'm frightened to death. They're having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism."
Luntz is right to be afraid. The Occupy movement has taken hold of the American Dream and reminded citizens that they have a right to be heard on important issues that impact their lives. It has revealed that the American people are overwhelmingly supportive of the goals of the Occupiers. It has reasserted the Constitutional and patriotic practice of free speech and the redress of grievances. These are principles that Luntz and his rightist patrons simply cannot abide.
Consequently, Luntz went to work to shape a new batch of linguistic contortions with which to befuddle naive FoxPods. The fruit of his fear is striking evidence of the success of the Occupy movement. Below are the specific suggestions Luntz gave to the GOP governors for what to say, and not to say, when talking about the Occupy movement. Pay attention, because these words and arguments are what will soon be cascading from the mouths of pundits and politicians on Fox News and other ring-wing media:
Out: Capitalism / In: Economic Freedom or Free Market
Luntz has concluded that, while Americans still prefer capitalism to socialism, any mention of it will stir thoughts of the misdeeds of Wall Street and bankers. In a nod to the effectiveness of the Occupiers, Luntz believes that to be seen as defending Wall Street is "a problem."
Out: Tax the Rich / In: Take from the Rich
Every poll shows that the country is in favor of making the wealthy pay their fair share. Even polls of millionaires reveal that they think their own taxes should be higher. So Luntz proposes a tweak in the hopes of producing language that sounds more sympathetic. Remove the "sym" and you have something more like the truth.
Out: Middle-Class / In: Hardworking Taxpayers
The right has obviously lost any appeal to all but the most fortunate in society. Luntz recognizes that there is little to gain by courting the middle-class so he has invented a new term that he believes people can relate to without actually defining it. The problem is that taxpayers that actually do work hard won't be fooled by this rouse into thinking they are members of the One-Percent whose lives of leisure are supported by GOP policies.
Out: Jobs / In: Careers
This may be the most brazen deceit on the list. Luntz asked his audience of Republican governors whether they wanted a job or a career. After few hands were raised for the former, and many for the latter, Luntz summed up asking, "So why are we talking about jobs?" He should try asking his questions in the parking lot of a Target Store.
Out: Government Spending / In: Waste
This is a transparent effort to associate anything having to do with government as wasteful and unnecessary. I assume he means spending on things like Social Security, interstate highways, veteran's benefits, law enforcement, public schools, child services, water, air, and food safety, and national security, which is, by far, the largest chunk of the federal budget.
Out: Compromise / In: Cooperate
In today's Republican party compromise is seen as weakness. Luntz asserts that it amounts to "selling out [your] principles." He also admits that cooperation means the same thing, but doesn't have the sting of compromise. The GOP may not have been using Luntz's phrasing, but they have definitely been acting on the concept. This session of Congress has had more filibusters than any in history as Republicans refuse to compromise. The fact that they are more committed to the failure of this administration than they are to the success of the nation has been apparent to the public, which is why Luntz and the GOP have to resort to this sort of word play.
Out: ??? / In: I get It
Here Luntz is just offering his version of a patronizing statement to mollify an angry electorate. Luntz told his audience of governors, "Here are three words for you all: 'I get it.' I get that you're angry. I get that you've seen inequality. I get that you want to fix the system." Unfortunately for Luntz & Co. the electorate knows that's a lie, and they know that the GOP has no solutions.
Out: Entrepreneur / In: Job Creator
I think this must have something to do with sounding too French. Republicans have a long record of pretending to support entrepreneurship, but Luntz must have detected a derogatory connotation that wasn't there previously. He must also have detected a problem with the word "innovator" because he also advises against its use. However, the GOP has been using "job creator" as a substitute for "rich," so they will be forced to find a new label for the one-percent. How about "the One-Percent?"
Out: Sacrifice / In: In This Together
The logic behind this twist is that is that the word "sacrifice" evokes a negative feeling that is shared by all. The problem with that logic is that the rich have not sacrificed anything. So, in reality, Luntz just wants to excise the word because it only applies to the subset of Americans who are already suffering and to whom the GOP are least likely to appeal. Raising the specter of sacrifice only dredges up harsh feeling amongst the middle-class…I mean hard working Americans…when juxtaposed with the rich…I mean job creators.
Out: Wall Street / In: Washington
This capsulizes the whole problem for Luntz and the right. He knows that Wall Street is correctly seen as the perpetrator of much of the country's current ills. He knows that associating with Big Finance will sink the prospects of any politician. And he knows that success for the Upper-Crusters he represents depends on fingering another villain. Ironically, the villains he suggests are the very people and institutions that he represents in DC. If he is going to mount a "blame Washington" campaign it has to include the Republican denizens of the capital who, more than anyone else, handed over control of the economy to the Wall Street hoodlums who promptly shattered it.
A recently disclosed memo revealed a scheme to launch a propaganda campaign against the Occupy movement funded by $850,000 from the American Bankers Association. The lobbyists behind this effort include former staff members of House Speaker John Boehner. The ties between the Banksters and political power brokers are as strong as ever.
The inescapable truth that emerges from Luntz's presentation is that the Occupy movement has been a phenomenal success. In a little over two months it has captured the imagination of a weary populace who now see a path to redemption. It has flipped the national conversation from one of a phony debt crisis to one focused squarely on economic inequities and the abuse of corporate power in the political arena. And now it has resulted in one of the most satisfying accomplishments of all: It has Fox News' Word Doctor, and likely all of his clients and colleagues, scared to death. Hopefully they will be just scared enough to start doing the right thing for the 99% of Americans who have had to wait too long the restoration of fairness and justice.

Centers of Excellence
Featured Services

See full list of Medical Services
The Thoracic Oncology Program at Maimonides Cancer Center brings the best leading-edge multidisciplinary care to patients with cancers of the chest, including lung cancer, esophageal cancer, malignant mesothelioma, metastatic cancers, and mediastinal tumors such as thymoma, germ cell tumors, and lymphoma. Committed to giving patients the best chance for a cure while preserving their quality of life, our thoracic oncology specialists utilize the most innovative and minimally invasive techniques available today to treat these malignancies.
Maimonides Cancer Center offers thoracic oncology patients a full array of services—from state-of-the-art diagnostic, medical, radiation, and surgical services to psycho-social support that treats the whole patient, not just the disease. Since Maimonides is located right in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, patients can receive this comprehensive care in one location—without ever leaving the borough.
While coughing, shortness of breath, hoarseness, and respiratory infections are often general consequences of cold and flu season, they can also be a sign of a much more serious issue: lung cancer. Lung cancer is often considered a silent killer. This disease isn't limited to those with a history of smoking. Ten to fifteen percent of Americans who die from lung cancer have never smoked. One-quarter of people with lung cancer show no symptoms until it is diagnosed, often at a well-advanced stage. With these patients, lung cancer is usually accidentally discovered, when a chest x-ray or CT scan is performed for another reason. The other seventy-five percent develop some symptoms, which at first often seem harmless.
If you have a persistent cough, have coughed up blood or rust-colored phlegm, experience fatigue or unexplained weight loss, have recurrent respiratory infections or newly developed shortness of breath, you should see your primary care physician immediately.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Brooklyn. Only fifteen percent of lung cancer patients survive five years after diagnosis, which is very low in comparison to other types of cancer. Early diagnosis is the key to survival. At Maimonides Medical Center, our lung cancer doctors offer narrow-band imaging bronchoscopy, which detects subtle cancers that aren't visible to the naked eye. Find out about our Lung Cancer Screening program.
The earlier the diagnosis, the less likely the disease has spread, making it easier to surgically remove the cancerous cells. For many lung cancer patients, lobectomy (the removal of a single lobe of the lung) is the preferred treatment for early-stage disease. Traditionally, an open approach has been used, where lung cancer surgeons make a long incision and must cut or spread the patient's ribs to reach the diseased part of the lung.
However, when using a minimally invasive procedure called the VATS technique, Maimonides physicians only need to create three small incisions. This minimally invasive approach reduces your time in the hospital, as well as your pain and your recovery time after the procedure.
Call 718-765-2500 to make an appointment with a lung cancer specialist or request an appointment online today.

Youth May Hold Key To Grain Bin Safety
A 9-year-old boy died in a grain bin this week in southwestern Wisconsin. While every situation is different, agricultural engineers continue to work on new ways to prevent such deaths.
Those involved in the training industry say reaching the younger generation will be an important step to prevent entrapments.
Rescue Tools
Mark Baker with Stateline Farm Rescue said there have been improvements in rescue products, including interlocking aluminum panels that surround a victim so the grain can be bailed out around them. He said emergency workers don't always need to spend a lot of money to have the right tools.
"Some of the bells and whistles and stuff that you think is really needed," Baker said. "Sometimes it's the simplicity that really does the job the quickest and most efficient."
For example, plastic beverage crates can act like snowshoes for rescue workers to walk above the corn without sinking.
Baker used such crates in a recent grain bin rescue demonstration in Freeport, Ill., for a group of farmers.
At training events, he brings a smaller-scale grain bin to training events to illustrate the dangers of entrapments. His bin is about the width of a hot tub, but much deeper. It holds up to 200 bushels of grain.
This demonstration bin can hold 175-200 bushels of corn. (Jenna Dooley/IPR)
At a recent training session, Colin Ebbers, 19, of Dakota, Ill., volunteered in the hands-on exercise. He is fit but, within seconds, Ebbers went from standing tall to being trapped up to his armpits in yellow kernels.
Four people surrounded him with metal panels to prevent more corn from covering him. Then helmets were used to bail the corn out. When Ebbers came out of the bin, his legs were deeply dimpled.
"I always thought, 'Why can't people swim out of corn or just try to find their way out?'" Ebbers said. "It was really mind-blowing to think how much pressure, or how wrong I was over it."

Keeping Track of Accidents
Researchers at Purdue University keep track of grain bin entrapments and accidents. In recent years, they expanded the search for incidents to include asphyxiation, entanglement, falls, and electrocutions in and around confined spaces on farms.

Still, farmers keep going into the bins to break up grain -- which may be clogged due to mold.
Rockton Farmer Learns Lesson the Hard Way
Roger Bates, 78, of Rockton, Ill., was trapped for several hours on his family farm earlier this year. Emergency crews tried a variety of techniques to free him. Ultimately, interlocking aluminum panels did the trick. The product they used in that rescue, called "Great Wall of Rescue," is manufactured in Lanark, Ill., not far from the site of a deadly grain bin accident in 2010 which killed two young workers.
Bates wasn't wearing a harness, but his grandson Michael Bates, 20, was standing nearby. Michael hurried down the outside of the bin to turn off power and stop the corn from moving, but the corn was already up to his grandfather's neck.
"Many people asked me why I was in the bin and not Michael," Roger Bates said. "But my theory had always been on the farm, if I'm going to do something dangerous, I'm going to be the first one to try to make it right."

That attitude isn't out of step with many aging farmers, who are used to being independent. Roger Bates said the younger generation is becoming more safety conscious. His grandson agrees.
"I like to think things through a little bit more rather than just try it and see what happens," Michael Bates said.
Roger's wife, Judy, said it never got easier to see him venture into the bin.
"Each kernel is like a living cell. You have to aerate that and work with it," she said. "You just can't put it in the bin and leave it. I don't know what's going on inside that bin, and that's why I'm kind of emotional."
Roger said he knew of the risks when he went in without a harness.
"I did put everybody in jeopardy," he acknowledged. "I always think if anybody calls the fire department -- even for a medical deal -- as they go to the emergency and come back, they are always in harm's way."
Bates recently donated rescue equipment to his local fire department, since the one involved in his rescue was located 30 miles away.
Prevention Efforts Continue
Rescue efforts get a lot of attention because they are so dynamic. But, when the dust settles, prevention evangelists are born.
Catherine Rylatt keeps preaching the word. She founded the Grain Handling Safety Coalition. She is also the aunt of Alex Pacas, who died in a grain bin in Mt. Carroll, Ill., in 2010.
"As the technology has grown, your work practices have to change to go along with it," Rylatt said.
Rylatt said bins are getting larger and corn is becoming softer.
She admits prevention isn't a "sexy" topic, but said it remains tempting for farmers to keep corn as long as possible, creating more opportunities for it to go bad. She said her group will pilot youth courses this year.
"Obviously, we are training everybody, but I think it's going to be easier for the younger people to universally accept and universally adopt and make these best practices a part of their daily work practices," Rylatt said.
That includes wearing a lifeline, just like wearing a seat belt in a car. There's also "lock-out, tag out" where a worker puts a lock on the electrical source at the base of the bin to alert others that someone is working on the bin.
Changes in Manufacturing
Farmers and rescue workers may also benefit from universal construction standards among grain bins. Bob Aherin with the The University of Illinois has been working with the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to draft standards for manufacturing new bins, including similar anchor points to attach lifelines.
Committee members did not reach consensus on the proposals earlier this year, but Aherin said tweaks continue and officials say another vote is possible next year. Even if new standards are approved, it will take years -- if not decades -- to phase out existing structures on farms across the U.S.
"The manufacturers have certain issues that they are trying to minimize cost as much as possible, but yet provide what they feel is adequate safety features on grain bins," Aherin said.
Another idea is to require standardized warning labels on grain bins and confined spaces. After witnessing her husband's harrowing rescue, Roger Bates's wife Judy thinks that's a good idea.
"I even thought of making my own bones and skull on the grain bin before they head up that grain. Just to make them think more than they do," Judy Bates said.

Pleas entered in teething NJ infant's heroin death
TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) -- The parents of a New Jersey infant who died of heroin intoxication in 2008 have pleaded guilty to manslaughter after admitting they rubbed heroin on the baby's gums because he was teething.
Just how the 11-month-old boy known as "Baby JM" ingested the heroin had remained a mystery until investigators in Ocean County got new information in the Seaside Heights case in October.
Ocean County prosecutors said Thursday that 35-year-old Denise Manco and 37-year-old Rondell Moore entered guilty pleas earlier this week to one count of second-degree manslaughter. They face up to 10 years in prison at sentencing, which is set for Feb. 22.
Authorities say both defendants admitted placing heroin in the baby's mouth and rubbing it on his gums because he was teething.

"Piranha 3D" set a new precedent, so why not copy it? That's exactly what "Shark Night 3D" plans to do while tempting us with these bikini shots of Sarah Paxton and Katherine McPhee. And James Cameron thought "Piranha" was dumb.
Daniel Stamm saw box office success with "The Last Exorcism" this past weekend and he's already looking ahead to future projects. While not yet certain, the director has said that his next film may be "Twelve Strangers", a supernatural thriller. This film is slated to be the second entry in the M. Night Shyamalan "Night Chronicles" trilogy.
There has been some confusion on the announcement of Dimension revealing their plans for a ninth "Hellraiser" film, planned for direct to video release instead of the rumored remake of the original film. Finally revealing their plan, the studio cited the ticking clock on their option to the franchise forcing them to move ahead on "Hellraiser: Revelations" since concrete plans for the remake were no where near coming to fruition.

PORTOLA VALLEY — Two environmental organizations filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Stanford University, claiming the school's management of Searsville Dam and Reservoir harms steelhead trout and violates the Endangered Species Act.
The suit alleges the dam prevents steelhead, a federally threatened species, from migrating farther up the San Francisquito Creek watershed, while Stanford's use of water from the reservoir for irrigation degrades habitat downstream of the dam by reducing water levels.
Our Children's Earth Foundation and the Ecological Rights Foundation want to force Stanford to curb its use of water from the reservoir and implement a plan to allow the fish to get past the dam, either by creating a bypass or removing the entire structure. They also want Stanford to obtain an Endangered Species Act permit, which is required for any activity that harms a threatened or endangered species.
Christopher Sproul, attorney for the two environmental groups, said Stanford has been dragging its feet in addressing the problem of the dam and reservoir, situated west of the main campus in the school's 1,189-acre Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. The goal of the suit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, is to spur Stanford to action.
"This remnant population of steelhead trout is really a marvel to preserve," said Sproul. "And it's really sad that Stanford is dewatering this creek and maintaining the dam without any changes or improvements."
University spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said the lawsuit is unnecessary, since the school is already in the midst of a comprehensive study of Searsville, which the school acquired in 1919. A committee formed in 2011 to analyze the issue is expected to make recommendations by 2014.
Lapin also asserted that the university doesn't need an Endangered Species Act permit because it isn't harming steelhead.
"Stanford is definitively not in violation of the Endangered Species Act in its operation of Searsville Dam — in fact, the creek is a thriving steelhead habitat," Lapin said.
The National Marine Fisheries Service is in the early stages of an investigation into whether any violations have taken place. Stanford has dismissed the inquiry as a routine response to a citizens complaint.
There many issues to consider besides the steelhead, Lapin noted. Since the dam was built in 1892, the reservoir has created wetland habitat that would disappear if the dam is removed. And the land beneath the dam has been developed, leading to concerns about flooding.
Federal law requires that an Endangered Species Act permit be accompanied by a planning document known as a Habitat Conservation Plan. Stanford completed such a plan late last year, but only after removing Searsville from consideration in order to study it further.

Investigators say a man was saved by his belt buckle when he was hit by a stray bullet during a shootout outside a Philadelphia grocery store.
WPVI-TV reports (http://bit.ly/Yn1t4N ) it happened in the city's Grays Ferry section around 4 p.m. Wednesday. Police say a man was shot in the stomach on the street and a bullet also hit an employee inside 8 Brother's Supermarket.
The 38-year-old employee, Bienvenido Reynoso, says he was about to take a hand truck outside when shots started flying. He hit ground and surveillance video shows a snack cake being shot off the shelf above his head.
He says he didn't realize he'd been hit until someone pointed out he had a hole in his shirt. That's when he found the bullet in his belt buckle.

Face to Face, Damansara Perdana
>> Sunday, September 14, 2008
Anne & I finally got to meet up again with Yo & 2 friends :) Yo wanted to spend the day shopping for clothes, so 4 of us girls tagged along :)
Frankly speaking, I'm not very much a shopping person, & they know it very well...I just met up with them to spend some time with them since I haven't met Yo for quite some time now. We had lunch at Damansara Perdana, & checked out some boutiques there, before heading to Damansara Uptown for more boutique-hopping! Quite fun la...but I just go see-see, then end up sitting down waiting for the rest to finish trying out clothes :P
Venue: Face to Face Noodle House
Location: Damansara Perdana - Jalan PJU8/51, Perdana Business Centre (same row as MK Land office). There are many other branches in Cheras, Seri Kembangan, & all over Selangor.
Famous for: Pan mee
Overall comment: The ambiance of the place is fairly nice. I just feel that it's a lil old & could do with some face-lifts, especially their menu! The food is not too bad in taste, & the portion is actually quite large. If you are a small eater, a small bowl of noodles will suffice. If you can really eat a lot, perhaps a large bowl will satisfy...and it's just only adding another ringgit anyways ;)
The front of the restaurant
To enjoy the best of the noodles, add some house-special chilli & mixed all the ingredients together...just like how it is described in the menu. This variant of noodle is not too bad la, but it's a bit dry :S
Add the house-special chilli into the soup & enjoy the noodles!
Nothing very spectacular to shout about. It's not too sweet as well, but there are not enough 'gems' with the ice shavings to give the ABC a kick! :D
The dessert wasn't too sweet. If you like your dessert sweet, then this will be tasteless to you. It's somewhat different from the usual 'lok mei' desserts found elsewhere. I reckon we much prefer the usual ones than this one :P

Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations was published the same year as the Declaration of Independence, and Hamilton was right to perceive a growing appreciation of its basic message among his countrymen. Smith wrote to dispel the errors of mercantilism. Hamilton wrote to keep them current. In particular, he was fond of Sir James Steuart, who represented Smith's "chief foil." Curiously, McCraw buries this in his footnotes at the back of The Founders and Finance. (383/4 n. 4) But McCraw is not at all hesitant to declare Hamilton a "first-class student of both economics and administration."
Hamilton apparently saw "how everything in the national economy was related to everything else." And "he saw that in the construction of grand strategy, every move must be coordinated so as to make the whole of public policy exceed the sum of its parts." Hardly reserved in his applause, McCraw proceeds, "And this is what he proceeded to do as secretary." (93) But one can take a different view, and in the matter of economic theory, one would be right to do so.

Lawrence Anthony Franklin is a former U.S. Air Force Reserve colonel who has pleaded guilty to passing information about U.S. policy towards Iran to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the foremost pro-Israel lobbying organization in the U.S, while he was working for the Defense Department. He claims this was an attempt to get the information to the United States National Security Council, which he was not able to do through regular Pentagon channels. Two former employees of AIPAC (Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman) also faced charges (that would later be dropped) that they assisted him in the AIPAC espionage scandal and passing classified national defense information to an Israeli diplomat Naor Gilon. On January 20, 2006, Judge T.S. Ellis, III sentenced Franklin to 151 months (almost 13 years) in prison and fined him $10,000 which Ellis later reduced to probation with ten months house arrest. The case was heard in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Ultimately, Franklin was charged with unauthorized disclosure of classified information, not with espionage.
In 2002 and 2003, Franklin worked at the Office of Special Plans which was set up by Donald Rumsfeld. The office was led by Douglas Feith. Under Feith's authorization, Lawrence Franklin met with Iran-Contra figures; critics allege they discussed Iraq intelligence, while supporters say they discussed only the War on Terrorism.

Venison Chili for Christmas Hot Dogs Recipe
This recipe was developed for Christmas Hot Dogs but tastes great on its own as well. Spiked with cocoa and cinnamon, it's similar to a Greek or Cincinnati-style chili but not as aggressively spiced. I wanted to keep the spice in the background so you could really taste the venison, but feel free to double up on the cayenne and paprika if you want more heat. The red wine and cherry Coke add a touch of sweetness—delicious with the slight gaminess of deer meat.
Venison has almost no fat, so it's best to add lard (most Mexican groceries carry it) or bacon drippings. If cherry Coke is too sweet for your taste, feel free to leave it out, or reconstitute about a half cup of dried cherries in some of the red wine, blend into a puree and add that to the chili for a touch of cherry flavor without all the sugar.
- Yield:4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:1 1/2 hours
- 2 tablespoons lard or bacon drippings
- 2 pounds ground venison
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 cups red wine
- 4 cups stock or water
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cups cherry cola
- Salt and pepper
Melt 1 tablespoon lard in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Add tomato paste, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add dry spices and cocoa, folding them into paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add venison and turn heat to high, breaking up meat with wooden spoon. Once the meat is cooked through (About 15 minutes), add red wine and reduce liquid by half. Add 2 cups water or stock, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook slowly until thickened and flavors have developed, about 45 minutes, adding more stock if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, add cherry coke, and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove cinnamon and bay leaf and serve.

Jeremiah: Return trips unlikely
We assume what Reed really meant was his mind was nowhere near the Baltimore Ravens. Reed still wants a new contract, and he still appears ready to hold out if a lucrative extension isn't presented to him before training camp.
Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times reported that Reed was seen having a friendly conversation with Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees. This isn't exactly a shock -- Pees is volunteering at the camp, after all -- and besides, Reed's beef is with a front office he believes is under-compensating him.
Wilson said Reed looked to be in good shape -- "I take care of myself," the safety said -- but Reed declined to get into specifics about his future plans.
"You're not always going to be understood," Reed said. "You do the best that you can."
Reed, 33, is set to complete the final year of a six-year, $40 million contract that he signed in 2006. He's due a $7.2 million base salary this season and is already in line to be docked $70,000 for sitting out mandatory minicamp.
Though a holdout remains a very real possibility, it's important to remember Reed has remained mostly cryptic about his plans. Don't be surprised if he sits out the start of camp. Be very surprised if he's still missing in action by Week 1.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS Philly) — Exercising control over your lunch break might make more of a difference than what you actually do with it.
A new study out of Wilfrid Laurier University's School of Business in Canada reveals that having autonomy during lunch helps to reduce fatigue.
In the study, more than 100 workers were asked how they spent their lunch breaks over a 10-day period and how tired they were at the end of the day.
Using the data they gathered, researchers were able to determine that "for activities that supported the psychological needs of relatedness and competence (i.e., social and work activities, respectively), as lunch break autonomy increased, effects switched from increasing fatigue to reducing fatigue."
In other words, having the freedom to choose what you do on your lunch break — whether it's socializing, window-shopping or yes, even getting some work done — might be able to combat that late-afternoon slump as well as the energy many workers feel when they return home after work.
The next time you automatically reach for that brown paper bag and prepare to eat at your desk, you might want to stop and consider what you actually want to do with your time.
Learn more about the study from the Academy of Management.

Mexican movie director Guillermo del Toro is making a game with publisher THQ—according to del Toro, anyway—a project that we'll see next month when the "truly strange, geeky mix" of a horror game is revealed.
THQ's Danny Bilson reportedly let slip that Del Toro's project will be one of those games that gets screen time at the annual Spike TV Video Game Awards presentation. Joystiq reports that the title, developer and "all of that" will be revealed on Spike's game awards show.
Del Toro describes his game to MTV Multiplayer last month, saying "It's... a very different type of horror game. It's not survival horror. It's truly a strange, geeky mix. It's a Lovecraftian thing. Let's leave it at that."
The director of Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth is currently attached to an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.

Paul Beatty, representing Niagara Hospice and the Mighty Niagara Half Marathon, presented the Village of Lewiston trustees with a certificate of appreciation prior to Monday's monthly board meeting (as pictured). About 1,300 runners traversed the village on their way to Porter on the Lake.
"The feedback was just outstanding," Beatty said.
The board, in turn, presented a certificate of appreciation - and a series of gift cards - to Roy "Bud" Myers, who is retiring after "a couple hundred" years working as a wildlife trapper for the village.
"Whenever anyone had a problem in the village ... this gentleman took care of it," Mayor Terry Collesano said.

Is Asia's signature mode of transport set for an electric revolution?
Green and yellow auto rickshaws chug through the crowded streets of New Delhi. Tuk tuks sputter on the roads in Thailand to tourists' delight. Millions in South and Southeast Asia rely on these three wheelers -- known variously as rickshaws, tuk tuks or tricycles -- as an affordable mode of transportation.
Finding Suppliers of Ebikes and Pedelecs
Finding a successful supplier is possible. Here are some steps to take. The buyer should be very clear in their own mind about what they want to buy. All the details that can be established – size, color, features, performance, style, artwork, quantity, and timing - should be decided upon and a list made.
Electric cycles, bikes and 'tuks' get traction
Despite America's love affair with Harley-Davidsons, electric motorcycles — as well as e-bicycles — are revving up U.S. sales. Two-wheeled e-vehicles are gaining converts among urban commuters and law enforcement, which see a stealth advantage in their quietness. More than three dozen U.S. police departments nationwide now use e-motorcycles.

Torrington's L.A. Consignment shop moving to new, bigger location
Torrington>> Torrington's L.A. Consignment is tripling the square footage of its retail space, moving into the lower level of the Wolcott House building, at 83 E. Main St.
The store is moving from its current location, 515 Main St.
Asked just how much merchandise owner Lucille Kelsey is moving, she said, "There's no other way to put it, we're moving enough to fill 3,000 feet. We had two very large trucks and we did two full trips. And these trucks were full," she emphasized.
Kelsey said the new shop is opening, "just in time for prom season." Dozens of dresses in pastels, pinks and azures lined the walls. Circular racks of everyday attire were assembled on the basement-level floor, more clothes were waiting in bags to be hung. Kelsey stocks everything from prom dresses to hot pants to high-end Anne Klein suits.
"You just have to have enough for everybody," said Kelsey, "You have to have a selection."
A ribbon cutting will be held Tuesday at the shop's new location.
Kelsey is having "giveaways," including, she said, a $100 gift certificate to the shop.
According to the National Association of Resale Professionals (NARTS), a trade group of resale, thrift and consignment shops, Kelsey's business isn't the only one growing. At the beginning of 2012, NARTS reported that resale and thrift shops were opening at a rate of about 7 percent annually.
"The resale industry is one of the few recession proof segments of retailing. Not only does it survive during economic downturns but it grows and thrives," wrote the industry group in a 2012 media release.
"There's not a person out there that isn't looking for a good deal," said Kelsey.
What makes a consignment shop different than a thrift shop is the business model. Kelsey's shop, for example, sells used clothes, but the clothes' owner and Kelsey split the profit 50-50. Additionally, the clothes must be sold within 60 days. Those wishing to consign with Kelsey can call L.A. Consignment at 860-489-5226.

A Small Business Party
We've been told the Republican Party must recalibrate all its positions following an election in which very little changed. We've been lectured on abortion after exit polls showed voters were motivated by the economy. We've watched various big-government "conservatives" crawl out from under rocks murmuring the usual incantations against the Tea Party. And we've endured a video of Meghan McCain saying she "hates" Karl Rove being praised as some sort of avant garde one-woman stage show.
As a friend of mine exclaimed a few days ago, "We lost one election!" It was a stinging loss at a crucial time, to be sure. But it hardly portends the extinction of conservatism.
That being said, there's one voice in the cacophony that's worth a listen. Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) said this on Meet the Press this past Sunday:
[W]e believe in small government, but we also believe in the individual. There are too many Republicans here in Washington, DC, and they are actually defending big business. They are defending the rich. I didn't become a Republican to defend the rich. And– and what we need to understand is that big business loves big government, because they get all the goodies from big government. They get more– they get less competition. The more that government grows, the more that big business actually benefits from the tax code and from the regulations.

If you ask talent management professionals what some of their major challenges are, one of the top concerns is how to increase diversity in the pipeline and reduce bias in talent management decision making. Although corporate hiring has improved on the front end, retention and underutilization of diverse talent threatens the ability of our organizations to reflect and serve our diverse customer base. Organizations that have invested in diversity are finding that the new frontier in making a difference in filling our pipelines with diverse talent is trying to manage unconscious bias. This session will look at innovative ways on how to mitigate unconscious bias in talent decisions by providing targeted intervention to talent management decision makers

Goldin Girl
"I was looking at cars, thinking about the speed and the materials they use for the interiors. It became a world of inspiration to me and everyone I work with," said designer Louise Goldin backstage at her New York debut in September, understandably weary yet glowing from the buzz of her standout Spring collection. The British expat, known for her bold, eye-catching knits, returned to the runway after a brief hiatus, drawing from her body-con sensibility and British daring, to great effect. The collection was a cool mix of sexy dresses in fresh spring colors (cerulean, white, saffron) with interesting but not too complicated patchwork in separates and layers. "New York is a great place to show for me now. I like the spirit. London is its own thing, but I'm here now." The scene at the show was pleasantly insidery, with NY fashion Brits on hand to cheer for a hometown favorite. Until the arrival of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, that is. The duo brought the requisite flurry of camera snaps and whiplash turns from the surrounding rows—the kind of PR coup some designers hope for, but of which Goldin remained adorably unaware. She needs little help spreading the word, as the killer clothes do all the talking.

All the headlines before Saturday's match between the Seattle Sounders and Houston Dynamo involved Clint Dempsey. After the game, the just desserts will belong to the Dynamo's forwards as a Giles Barnes brace and Will Bruin's late blast led Houston to a 3-1 win at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Houston came into the night just inside the playoff places in the Eastern Conference. Thanks to Barnes' first multi-goal game in MLS, they will stay above the red line for another week.
Barnes set the tone early, scoring both of his goals in the first half. The first came courtesy of a hustle play as Bruin worked past former Dynamo center back Patrick Ianni, drawing Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning off his line. With the Sounders netminder out of position, Barnes took a touch inside and blasted the loose ball into the top corner of the unguarded net for his fifth goal of the season, and his first since May 8.
The Englishman's sixth came five minutes later and was of the spectacular variety. Given acres of space by a retreating Seattle back line, he blasted a sterling 30-yard strike past a leaping Gspurning and into the upper 90 to give Houston a 2-0 halftime lead.
Seattle took control after the break and Shalrie Joseph pulled one back in the 65th minute. The veteran midfielder found space on a Marc Burch free kick and headed the attempt downward and into the back of the net to make it 2-1.
That's as close as Seattle – who played without Eddie Johnson and Obafemi Martins and brought Brad Evans off the bench – would get. Bruin iced the game in the 74th minute, finishing from close range after a Warren Creavalle header rang off the crossbar to deliver a 3-1 win to the home team.
Houston move to 36 points, good for fifth place, and are three points clear of the sixth-place New England Revolution. The Sounders stay on 34 points and remain just outside the playoff picture in the Western Conference.
Dempsey was the name on everyone's lips coming into the game, making his first MLS appearance in Texas since 2006. The Nacogdoches, Texas native took time to find the game, but things changed in the second half when Dempsey found more of the game from the first kick.
The U.S. playmaker dropped deeper into midfield and starting to play more of a role igniting Seattle's attack.
The change worked as Seattle became more dangerous. Dempsey showed his playmaking skill in the 53rd minute when he slalomed through Houston's defense from near the midfield stripe to set up Marc Burch, but his streaking shot was parried by Hall.
Neagle nearly found a goal in the 81st minute with a clever flick in the box. His bid beat Hall the first time, but clanged off the post and bounced back into the Houston 'keeper's grateful arms.
Houston will travel to Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday to face W Connection in their CONCACAF Champions League opener before traveling to Montreal to face the Impact next Saturday. Seattle will host the Portland Timbers in a Cascadia Cup clash next Sunday.

One of the country's most senior police officers is to be interviewed under criminal caution over claims that he leaked internal emails containing personal data.
Avon and Somerset chief constable Nick Gargan will be questioned by watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) over allegations that he breached the Data Protection Act.
The claims were unearthed during an investigation into allegations that he abused his position by making "inappropriate advances" to younger female members of staff.
Mr Gargan, who has been suspended since May, has pledged to co-operate with the inquiry and said he wants to return to work as soon as possible.
IPCC deputy chair Rachel Cerfontyne said: "As part of our investigation, the IPCC has uncovered evidence that the chief constable may have breached the Data Protection Act by sending emails concerning police business, some of which contained personal data, to individuals unconnected to the force.
"On July 8 I formally brought this matter to the attention of the police and crime commissioner for Avon and Somerset who referred Mr Gargan's conduct to the IPCC the following day. Mr Gargan has now been served with a notice informing him that this aspect of his conduct is subject to a criminal investigation."
So far the IPCC has interviewed more than 50 members of staff from the force and sifted through computer and telephone data.
A spokesman for the Chief Police Officers Staff Association said: "Chief Constable Gargan is pleased that progress has been made in relation to the allegation concerning inappropriate behaviour and that this allegation is no longer being treated as a criminal matter.
"Chief Constable Gargan shall continue to co-operate with the investigation. He is keen to return to work and hopes that the investigation can be progressed expediently."
IPCC investigators are continuing to analyse the material they have gathered and are finalising arrangements to interview Mr Gargan in the coming weeks over allegations of gross misconduct as well as the criminal claims.
Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said: "The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has made me aware of new evidence in their ongoing investigation into the conduct of the Chief Constable.
"I have referred the matter to the IPCC to investigate and the chief constable remains suspended."

<bt>A grand jury indicted both drivers involved in April's fatal school bus crash that killed two students at Hoffman-Boston Elementary. The decision was handed down July 18. Commonwealth's attorney Richard Trodden declined to comment on the ongoing case and has asked investigators to withhold any new information from the public until the first trial begins.
"I am keenly aware of the significant public interest surrounding this incident," Trodden said in a written statement. "But ethical rules prevent me or members of my office from publicly discussing the facts and evidence in this case."
He added, "Now that charges have been brought and this matter will be tried by a jury, I am also requesting that those associated with the investigation of this incident also refrain from making public statements concerning the investigation."
School bus driver Pamela Sims, 37, was charged with one count of reckless driving and one count of "failure to pay full time and attention." Her trial is scheduled for Sept. 27. Garbage truck driver James Wallace, 42, was indicted on a single count of reckless driving. His trial begins Oct. 25.
Reckless driving is a class 1 misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. Failure to pay full time and attention is an unclassified misdemeanor charge, but, according to the county attorney's office, it comes with a maximum penalty of 10 days in jail and a fine of $100.
THE CHARGES STEM from a crash that took place at the intersection of Columbia Pike and South Courthouse Road on April 18. Police reported that the bus was making a left turn. It collided head-on with the truck, which was heading straight in the opposing direction. Bystanders and passengers on a nearby Metro bus stopped to evacuate children from the bus. Sims, a bus driver for more than 10 years, was thrown from the bus but refused medical attention at the scene to help in the rescue. Both and she and Wallace were later hospitalized. The children aboard ranged from kindergartners to fifth-graders.
The crash killed 9-year-old Lilibeth Gomez that day. Harrison Orosco, 7, clung to life in a hospital bed for two days before he died of head injuries. A small memorial for the two still stands beside a street sign at the scene of the accident.
The resulting investigation was conducted by local police with the help of state troopers and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). On the day of the crash, Police Chief Doug Scott said it appeared neither driver had much time to react.
"There is very little skid mark evidence," said Scott. "The impact was probably at the speed both vehicles were traveling. I've been a police officer for years and I've never seen anything like this."
Police reconstructed the accident the following Sunday, running a bus and a trash truck up and down Columbia Pike to take measurements. According to state police Sgt. Terry Licklider, those measurements got plugged into a computer program to create a three-dimensional model of the crash. Licklider added that much of the damage to the bus came from the trash truck's steel forklift — used to lift dumpsters into its rear bin. The forklift was down and facing the front of the truck when the crash occurred, and the crash bent it out of shape.
THE COUNTY DEPLOYED 17 counselors to Hoffman-Boston following the crash, putting one in each classroom. Some parents remain concerned about the safety of school buses. Several meetings have been held to reassure parents. One was aimed at Spanish-speaking families. An estimated 38 percent of Hoffman-Boston students come from Latino or Hispanic heritage. County board member Walter Tejada told parents in June that plans are underway to install a left turn light at the intersection but the idea faces some red tape. Because Columbia Pike is a state road, the Virginia Department of Transportation must study intersection and write a report.
According to police statistics, that intersection saw 15 traffic accidents from 2003 to 2005. NTSB numbers state that nationwide, there have been 18 fatal school bus crashes in the last 15 years. The NTSB, according to investigator Debbie Hersman, is studying the crash to make recommendations on future school bus safety measures.

A distinctive charism that the Holy Family intimately reveals to us is their openness to serve. St. Joseph is asked to care for Mary and Jesus and he humbly and lovingly obeys. Mary is asked to bear the Son of God and she humbly and lovingly obeys. Christ, the Son of God, offers Himself in the model of service through His sacrifice on the cross.
In many ways, the charism of service exhibited by the Holy Family provides us with a genuine and authentic example of what it means to serve others before ourselves. The very act of service embraces a communal identity or, in other words, introduces the importance of family and community. The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the Christian family as a communion of persons representative of the Blessed Trinity (CCC 2205).
St. Joseph is the model husband and father due to his fidelity toward God expressed in his fidelity to Mary and his adopted son, Jesus Christ. Mary, the Mother of God, is the perfect wife and mother — she is the model of perfect obedience and charity as the God bearer. The very acts of faith expressed by the Holy Family as revealed in Sacred Scripture demonstrate a desire to follow the will of God and in turn affirm their fidelity to God. This beautiful act of grace serves as the beacon of hope all families may follow because the destination is our family in heaven.
|Holy Family Parish in Fort Worth (NTC/Juan Guajardo)
Tell us about the Feast of the Holy Family.
The Feast of the Holy Family, established in 1893 by Pope St. Leo XIII, reflects on the role of St. Joseph as the adoptive father of Jesus Christ; Mary, the Mother of God, chosen to bear the Son of God Jesus Christ; and Jesus Christ Himself who is the second person of the Blessed Trinity and is the Incarnate Word.
The Holy Family is regarded as the perfect model of holiness and sanctity for all Catholic families to imitate. It provides us with an example of how to practice authentic fatherhood and motherhood toward our children.
Why was Jesus born into a family?
The Nativity, or birth, of Jesus Christ signifies and demonstrates the love God has for us, His people, through His only begotten son as the Word made flesh. In Christ we come to know and understand that God intended to bring all of us back into full communion with Him through the birth of a son as the second person of the Blessed Trinity.
Jesus' birth signifies through His life, death, and resurrection that His responsibility was to bring man back to God. Jesus' birth within the Holy Family represents our entrance into the Kingdom of God.
Are there specific devotions to the Holy Family?
Several prayers, devotions, and novenas are attributed to the Holy Family. See PrayMoreNovenas.com for an example of a Holy Family Novena.
A novena to the Holy Family is most appropriately begun nine days before the feast of the Holy Family. This year, the novena would begin Dec. 21 and conclude on Sunday, Dec. 29. It is also fitting to pray it during the month of February, which is consecrated to the Holy Family.
What lessons can modern families learn from the Holy Family?
The exercise and application of the virtues of humility and prudence serve as principle lessons all families can learn and apply in their daily lives.
In St. Joseph, we have the model of a husband and foster father who faithfully and prudently cared for the Blessed Mother at all phases of married life, listening to the will of God and ministering to his wife and adopted son Jesus Christ.
Our Blessed Mother serves as the model of perfect motherhood, humility, and charity in her acceptance of the will of God to bear the Christ Child and become the Mother of God. Her perfect obedience serves as a model of holiness and simplicity we are all called to imitate and embrace.
A distinctive charism that the Holy Family intimately reveals to us is their openness to serve.
