CARSON, Calif, – Real Salt Lake (7-4-7, 28 points, West #2) fell 1-0 to LA Galaxy (6-3-6, 24 points, West #6) at StubHub Center on Saturday night.
LA Galaxy FW Gyasi Zardes scored the game's lone goal in the 20th minute – a lead that the Claret-and-Cobalt were unable to overcome for the rest of the match. Real Salt Lake GK Nick Rimando put in a fantastic performance, saving a penalty kick in the last minute of stoppage time to keep LA's lead at one.
The match started off open and never really slowed down, with both sides registering chances early on. Real Salt Lake saw its first chance of the match arrive in the seventh minute. The play started from a nice buildup and movement around the 18 to eventually find RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman at the top of the area. Beckerman then laid the ball off to DF Tony Beltran on the right who blasted a shot into the box that deflected off a Galaxy player for RSL's first corner kick of the night. The set piece chance fizzled out though after RSL was called for a foul inside the box.
Rimando showed off some of his renowned skill as a playmaker in the 14th minute, setting up FW Joao Plata for a near 1v1 situation with Galaxy GK Jaime Penedo. Rimando hit a pin perfect 60 yard pass that found an open Plata in the attacking half on the left side. Plata collected the ball and sprung for goal but was eventually cobbled up by three recovering Galaxy defenders to cut out the chance.
LA Galaxy took the lead in the 20th minute, capitalizing with a man advantage on a counter attack. The California side was able to exploit the situation when RSL MF Javier Morales was stripped of the ball by LA Galaxy MF Marcelo Sarvas but then went down to the ground of an apparent injury during the tackle. With advantage given, RSL eventually lost possession which allowed Sarvas took the ball up the right flank, with no call back from the referee, and cut the ball back to the top of the 18 yard box. LA Galaxy FW Landon Donovan dummied the pass allowing Zardes to blast a shot to the left corner that deflected off the inside of the post and in.
The Galaxy kept up the attack, almost doubling their lead three minutes later again on the counter. Galaxy DF Robbie Rogers started the play, finding acres of room on the left side. Rogers sped to the edge of the box and sent in a low cross that a sliding Zardes was unable to reach. LA had the follow up shot but Claret-and-Cobalt DF Chris Schuler came up big, getting a leg to the attempt to deflect out of danger.
Beckerman almost provided Real Salt Lake with the equalizer in the 29th minute. Beckerman was found open at the top of the area and fired a shot from 20 yards out that forced a save from Penedo, who could only chest the shot to the side of the six yard box. RSL FW Devon Sandoval was there for the follow up shot but was unable to make much of the angle and the attempt fizzled.
The start of the second half saw the home side come firing out of the gates with a pair of chances for LA FW Robbie Keane. The first came just after the whistle with the Irishman collecting the ball in the middle of the field and sprinting towards goal and firing a shot from the top of the area that went wide of the net. The lethal forward almost struck again five minutes later, sending a shot from inside the box that forced a diving one-handed save from Rimando to keep the lead to one.
Beckerman again almost provided the equalizer with a great look in the 55th minute. The play started with DF Chris Wingert on the left side who slipped a great ball into the middle of the penalty area that found Beckerman. The RSL captain worked his way on to his left-foot and blasted a shot to the far corner that went just wide of the post.
Real Salt Lake saw its best shot of the second half slip by in the 62nd minute. Beltran started the play on the right flank, sending a nice low cross into the box. Sandoval dummied the pass to set up RSL FW Joao Plata whose rocket of a shot seemed destined to find the back of the net but Penedo came up big again, pushing the shot wide for a corner kick.
The Galaxy continued to stay on the attack, almost going up by another goal in the 74th minute. Sarvas managed to get off a lovely long cross from the right sideline into the box where an open Husidic made a diving header that went wide of the net. Donovan almost doubled the lead minutes later getting on the end of a nice pass from substitute Stefan Ishizaki. Donovan sped to the touchline and attempted to beat Rimando to the near post but the RSL veteran was there to collect the shot.
Real Salt Lake had a call for a penalty kick in the 85th minute when LA Galaxy MF Juninho appeared to kick Wingert in the face attempting to clear a corner kick. The referee did not appear to think the injury warranted a foul or discipline and play continued. Minutes after the controversial lack of a call, the Claret-and-Cobalt had a golden opportunity to draw even in the 89th minute. RSL substitute FW Olmes Garcia sent a nice cut-in ball into the box that RSL MF Ned Grabavoy ran onto but his close-range shot went wide of the post.
Rimando kept LA from icing the game in the final minute of stoppage time, furthering his excellent record on PK's with a save on Sarvas. The Brazilian called the foul, creating a 1v1 opportunity in the box that forced Rimando to come off his line and tackle the ball away from Sarvas, appearing to take down the player as well. The penalty was called but Rimando came up big again, reading Sarvas correctly and made a diving save to his right for his 22nd PK save of his career. The amazing save ended up being the final play of the game.
RSL will kick off a three-game home stretch for the rest of July following Saturday's loss in LA. The Claret-and-Cobalt first host Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday, July 19 at 8:00 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tickets to the Vancouver contest can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.
Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 0-1 LA
- Tonight's match was Real Salt Lake Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando's second appearance and start for the Claret-and-Cobalt since being named to the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup roster in mid-May. The international duo returned to Salt Lake City last Thursday to help lead RSL to a 2-1 win over New England Revolution at Rio Tinto Stadium. The win snapped RSL's previous five-game winless streak in MLS play. Beckerman and Rimando missed a total of six MLS matches (and seven games across all competitions, including RSL's U.S. Open Cup loss at Atlanta Silverbacks) after being named to the U.S.'s World Cup roster. In their absence, the Claret-and-Cobalt went 1-3-2 in MLS play.
- RSL GK Nick Rimando's penalty kick save on Galaxy MF Marcelo Sarvas makes opposing players 41/63 against Rimando on penalty kicks. The PK save was Rimando's 22nd career save.
- Real Salt Lake MF John Stertzer earned his third start of the 2014 season tonight. The three starts this year are his first with the club since joining in 2013.
- With tonight's loss Real Salt Lake now has a 11-11-6 regular season record against the Galaxy and a 12-13-7 mark when including MLS Cup Playoff matches. RSL is now 6-8-1 in regular season action at LA, and 6-10-1 at the Galaxy in regular season and playoff action. Historically, the Claret-and-Cobalt is now 12-18-3 all-time in regular season and playoff action at StubHub center against LA and co-tenants Chivas USA.

César Baldaccini (1 January 1921 in Marseille - 6 December 1998 in Paris), usually called César was a noted French sculptor.
César was at the forefront of the Nouveau Réalisme movement with his radical compressions (compacted automobiles, discarded metal, or rubbish), expansions (polyurethane foam sculptures), and fantastic representations of animals and insects.
He was a French sculptor, born in 1921 of Italian parents in the working-class neighbourhood of la Belle-de-Mai in Marseilles. His father was a cooper and bar owner. His full name was César Baldaccini, but he is usually known simply as César. After studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Marseilles (1935-9) he went on to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1943-8). He began making sculptures by welding together pieces of scrap metal in 1952 and first made his reputation with solid welded sculptures of insects, various kinds of animals, nudes, etc.
His first one-man exhibition was at the Galerie Lucien Durand, Paris, 1954.
His early work used soldered and welded metal as well as junk materials, and by 1960 César was considered one of France's leading sculptors. In tha ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

MILAN (AP) — Shares in Italian aerospace and defense giant Finmeccanica closed down 4 percent ahead of an emergency board meeting to discuss governance following the arrest of the chief executive.
The board was meeting Wednesday evening following the arrest of CEO Giuseppe Orsi, who is under investigation for the alleged payment of bribes to secure a €560 million ($755 million) contract to sell 12 helicopters to India. Orsi, who has been jailed, denies wrongdoing. The chief of Finmeccanica's unit AgustaWestland has been placed under house arrest.
Shares in Finmeccanica, which is 30 percent state-owned, dropped 4 percent to €4.23. They have dropped by about half in the last three years as the company has been targeted in corruption investigations.

It's never too early to think ahead, especially when pondering a novel idea.
Scott Sutter, a Connecticut resident who once worked five years for a bank in Worcester, is hoping to bring his brainstorm to town in December, one that could very well put some warmth into the winter running scene.
The DCU Center's exhibition hall could be the site of Worcester's first indoor road race. No, this isn't indoor track — this event is expected to have 5K and 10K races on the concourse floor as is, with fun runs and CrossFit competitions also being considered.
Though the event is still in the preliminary planning stages, Sutter has tentatively booked the exhibition hall for Saturday, Dec. 28. On Saturday, he oversaw the first Veterans Inc. Indoor Half Marathon and Marathon Relay at the XL Center in Hartford, using the convention concourse at that arena.
While he is waiting for feedback from Saturday's races, Sutter is ambitious about running an event in Worcester. Over the past three months, he has been in constant contact with DCU Center and area officials. Sutter has cased the exhibition hall and visualized what would make a successful winter event there.
Sutter, who around the turn of this century was a distance runner at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., has planned several road races near Somers, Conn., where he lives. At a race directors' meeting last summer, he started to bounce off others this pipe dream about conducting a winter event in a large concourse, free of the potential elements. After all, when the weather was brutally hot for training at The Citadel, Sutter's coach brought the drills indoors to a concourse of one of the campus' halls.
He called the XL Center on a whim, not knowing if officials there would take the idea seriously. XL's people called right back and liked what they heard, and Sutter had more than 100 runners participate Saturday.
It's an event with fairly low overhead for the building, which doesn't need to be heated over 50 degrees for the runners and can operate on a minimum of lighting. Sutter brought in seats for around the course and the digital timing and lap-counting equipment. And because of the limited space involved, only a minimum of volunteers were needed.
Originally, the Hartford event was only going to have a half marathon and a marathon relay, but Sutter added a 5K to the slate. The winners were introduced between periods of last night's Connecticut Whale hockey game at the XL Center. For the $75 half marathon entry fee, runners received a technical T-shirt, a sizable goody bag and a ticket to the hockey game. Running in the 5K cost $20.
Because the indoor course in the DCU's exhibition hall will span only about 230 meters, Sutter says a half marathon or marathon wouldn't be practical. But he sees the potential for quality 5K, 10K and CrossFit events, all wrapped into one festival just after Christmas.
"I know how New England can be parochial, that it can be hard to get people involved," the 35-year-old Sutter said. "But the sky's the limit (for an event like this) once it establishes itself."
Sutter planned to contact the Central Mass. Striders, among other area running organizations, after the Hartford event. He had a professional photographer on hand to catch the sights of the maiden voyage into indoor road racing and show that an event like this can work in Worcester.
"I started this whole thing to make friends," said Sutter, who noted he hopes to put part of any leftover proceeds into a website that would empower the Worcester event. "We're using Hartford as a beta test. We want to create a different kind of event, and be able to add content."
"We're always into events like this that will bring families into Worcester for a weekend, to support family members who would be taking part in the event," DCU general manager Sandra Dunn said.
Like the Hartford event, Sutter hopes to honor winners of the Worcester race between periods at a Sharks game. And also like Hartford's Veterans Inc. event, Sutter is committing himself to have the DCU event benefit a particular worthy cause in our city.

Chris Low, ESPN.com
WHO TO WATCH: LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson. In a lot of ways, Jefferson was the difference in the first game. Jarrett Lee threw a pair of interceptions and was ineffective, and Jefferson came off the bench and gave the Tigers' offense a lift with his ability to run the option. It's been Jefferson's offense ever since, although Alabama will undoubtedly be a lot more prepared to defend the option in this game. That means Jefferson will need to make some plays in the passing game if the Tigers are going to have a chance to move the ball against the Crimson Tide's defense. He's been erratic throwing the ball this season, but had one of the best passing games of his career last season against Alabama when he finished 10-of-13 for 141 yards and a touchdown. The Tigers would love to get that kind of performance out of him Monday night, especially if he can take care of the ball.
WHAT TO WATCH: Big plays. The two defenses are so strong that neither team is going to make a living by going on long scoring drives, which means quick strikes will be at a premium, on both offense and special teams. Rueben Randle is LSU's best big-play threat. He caught eight touchdown passes and averaged 18.1 yards per catch, but caught only two passes for 19 yards in the first game. Alabama junior running back Trent Richardson is also a big play waiting to happen. His longest gain in the first game was a 39-yard catch. Both teams are capable of changing the scoreboard in a hurry on special teams. Alabama's Marquis Maze returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown against Arkansas. He was first in the SEC in kickoff return average and third in punt return average. LSU's Tyrann Mathieu returned two punts for touchdowns this season, while Morris Claiborne returned a kickoff for a touchdown. A long scoring play in this game will be like scoring two touchdowns.
WHY TO WATCH: It's college football history and SEC history being made at the same time. There's never been a rematch in the BCS National Championship Game, and two teams from the same conference have never met for the title. Until now. Moreover, the winner of this game asserts itself as the SEC's kingpin. It would be two national titles in five years for LSU and two national titles in three years for Alabama. And if you like defense, it may be a while before we see two more talented defenses on the same field than Monday night. As many as 17 of the 22 starters on defense have a chance to be drafted. Alabama is ranked No. 1 nationally in total defense, and LSU is ranked No. 2 nationally in total defense. The Crimson Tide haven't given up more than 14 points in a game on defense all season, while the Tigers' defense has gone nine straight games without allowing more than 11 points. If LSU can prevail, it would have to go down as one of the greatest seasons in SEC history when you consider that the Tigers would have beaten nine nationally ranked teams, four top 5 teams and Alabama twice.

Mouth Diseases
Lump in Tounge
What can cause a lump in my tongue? It is inside the tongue not on it.
There are a number of possible causes for a "lump in the tongue". Most lumps and bumps are the result of trauma to the tongue. The consistency of the lump (how it feels, is it hard, is it rubbery, or is it fluctuant? (squishy)) can give some indication of what might be going on.
Duration, or how long it has been there, also can be used to identify the etiology. I would suggest that you have your primary care provider or dentist examine the lump to rule out other, more serious, causes for this swelling.
In most cases the lump is actually the result of trauma. Depending on the degree of trauma, you may develop a small fibroma. Acute trauma can cause a hematoma (collection of blood within the tissue).
Another possibility is that you could have a blocked salivary gland that is causing swelling on the underside to the tongue (ventral surface).
Without actually examining the tongue I can only presume what might be occurring. Therefore, I would have it evaluated by a professional to determine what is actually going on. In some cases, the only way to identify a definitive cause and/or type of lesion is by a biopsy of the lump and evaluation of the tissue histologically.
I hope this helps.

A Norman County deputy shot during a traffic stop last month was justified in firing at the suspect, according to the Minnesota county attorney reviewing the case.
Norman County Deputy Nathan Warner returned fire after being shot April 15 near Perley in northwest Minnesota.
Warner was shot in the back in his bullet-resistant vest, and another round struck his portable radio on the front of his vest. Warner returned fire but missed, the criminal complaint said.
Warner was treated at a Fargo hospital and released.
"It is my opinion Deputy Warner was justified in the use of deadly force under the facts and circumstances in this case," Mahnomen County Attorney Darlene Rivera Spalla wrote in a letter to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. "I see no violation of the deadly force statue by the deputy."
The suspect, Steven Henderson, 19, faces four felony counts related to the traffic stop, including charges of first-degree attempted murder of a peace officer, bringing stolen goods into the state and two counts of receiving stolen property. He has pleaded not guilty.
According to the criminal complaint, Henderson and his brother had just traveled from Oklahoma to Minnesota when they were pulled over April 15 in a pickup that Henderson had stolen the day before in Kansas or Nebraska. He had found a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun inside the glove compartment.
The Norman County Sheriff's Office received a report from someone saying the pickup was suspicious. The deputy found the truck, which had no license plates, and stopped it on County Road 39 near County Road 12. Henderson was driving, and his brother, William Henderson, was in the passenger seat, the complaint states.
At the time, William Henderson, 18, had an arrest warrant for failing to appear in court on misdemeanor charges in Pennington County, so Warner placed him in the back seat of his squad car, according to the complaint.
The deputy returned to the pickup and then headed back to his squad car. At that point, Steven Henderson opened fire with the handgun, the complaint states.
Steven Henderson drove off and officers found him two hours later in woods near a vacant farmstead a few miles from the shooting scene.
Steven Henderson is set for a pretrial hearing June 11. A trial is scheduled for Sept. 2.

ACC Tournament: Three Thoughts On NC State – North CarolinaPosted by mpatton on March 11th, 2012
A lot of controversy surrounded North Carolina's 69-67 win over NC State and the officiating. I already wrote my comments on the officiating. This article is about the game.
- NC State was moving the wrong direction when CJ Leslie fouled out. All of the controversy surrounding the calls that lead to Leslie's fifth foul overshadowed the events surrounding the game. North Carolina was on a 7-0 run, and NC State's body language was really bad. Leslie, who up to that point had carried the Wolfpack, looked worse than anyone else. Even the coaching staff was in disarray: Mark Gottfried admitted after the game that he didn't know it was Leslie's fifth. But when he fouled out, it fired up NC State–namely Lorenzo Brown–and it finally pushed back to having a chance to win it in the last minute. Two turnovers–the second of which thwarted a wide open game-tying layup by DeShawn Painter–are what directly cost the Wolfpack the game. And give credit to Justin Watts for hustling and getting his hands on that pass when it looked like Painter was all alone.
- Kendall Marshall played another very good, multi-faceted offensive game. Don't look now but he's scored in double figures in each of his last three games shooting 53% from the floor (and 6-11 from beyond the arc). He's continued his record-setting assist campaign, dishing 10, 12 and 10 dimes in the games. If that continues, North Carolina is really tough to guard.
- Tyler Zeller had another outstanding game, but he wasn't able to take it to the next level until NC State bigs got in foul trouble. Obviously, that's a little bit of a circular argument because guarding him is what got them in foul trouble to begin with. But it will be interesting to see how he performs against Florida State's physical front line with limited time from Henson (in the first game Zeller went for 14 points and 14 boards; Henson went 10 points and only 3 boards).

Gonzaga No. 1 in final AP poll
Gonzaga's first stint on top of The Associated Press' college basketball poll lasted through the final Top 25 of the season.
The Bulldogs (31-2), the fourth of the four top seeds in the NCAA tournament, were a runaway No. 1 for a third straight week on Monday, receiving 45 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. They become the first school from a non-BCS conference to finish No. 1 in the final poll since Massachusetts of the Atlantic 10 in 1996.
Louisville, the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, is second and got the other first-place votes. Kansas and Indiana — the other No. 1 seeds — are third and fourth followed by Miami, Duke, Ohio State, Georgetown, Michigan State and Michigan.
Forty-four schools were ranked during the 2012-13 season, five off the record set in 2008-09. Five of them held the No. 1 ranking at some point — Indiana (10 weeks), Duke (5), Gonzaga (3), Louisville (1) and Michigan (1) — and there was a stretch of five straight polls when there was a different No. 1 each week.
Eleven teams were ranked in all 20 polls this season with Indiana and Duke the only ones from that group to be in the Top 10 all season.
There were two one-week wonders this season: Florida State, which was No. 25 in the preseason poll for its only appearance, and Louisiana Tech, which was No. 25 three weeks ago.
The week's lone newcomer was Pac-12 champion Oregon. The Ducks replaced VCU, which lost to Saint Louis in the Atlantic 10 tournament championship game.
Duke's season-long run in the poll extended the longest current streak to 117 weeks, starting with the preseason poll of 2007-08. Kansas has the second-longest such streak at 85 polls.
The Big East had the most schools ranked during the season with eight, one more than the Big Ten. The Atlantic Coast Conference had five ranked during the season while the Southeastern Conference, Big 12, Pac-12 and Mountain West Conference all had four.
There were 46 schools ranked last season with three reaching No. 1.

WASHINGTON, July 10 (UPI) -- All signs point to the U.S. Supreme Court as the major battleground in the bitter national debate over healthcare reform, either next term or the term after that. Meanwhile, each side is trying to push a justice out of the case.
Numbers are important at the nine-member high court, in the end maybe more important than the actual arguments lawyers will advance on the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of the healthcare reform law.
Four liberals face off against four conservatives, with moderate conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy most often joining conservatives to form a 5-4 conservative majority. But not always.
If either side manages to get a justice to withdraw -- specifically either Justice Elena Kagan or Justice Clarence Thomas -- it could tip the balance in any final ruling for or against the federal law.
Under attack are two federal laws enacted in 2010 under President Barack Obama's direction, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and amendments to it contained in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act.
The principal law contains a number of provisions that profoundly change the health insurance landscape, including a ban against insurance companies dropping people when they get sick, special high-risk pools for those with pre-existing conditions who need insurance, keeping children on their parents' insurance until they finish college, maintaining special insurance for early retirees until they reach Medicare age and a tax credit for small businesses to provide employee insurance.
The most controversial element of reform, the one most under legal attack, doesn't take effect until 2014. By that year, most people will be required to have health insurance or pay a tax.
A number of constitutional challenges to the laws in general and the individual mandate in particular are threading their way through the federal trial and appeals courts. The U.S. Supreme Court is likely to consolidate most of them into one bundle for a combined review.
Supreme Court action is not a done deal, of course.
Republicans could take over both houses of Congress in 2012 and repeal the law and its amendments, making the court cases moot and heading off the legal challenges at the pass. If they took the presidency as well that could solve the problem of overcoming a veto of repeal by Obama.
But that is an exceedingly high hill for the GOP to climb, and the odds the debate will reach the Supreme Court are good. And the justices, as they showed in deciding the 2000 presidential election, are not shy about taking on politically charged questions.
Which brings us back to the numbers.
In her first term on the high court, Kagan withdrew from dozens of cases because of her work as U.S solicitor general. Efforts to get Kagan to "recuse," or withdraw, herself from a prospective healthcare challenge began even before she ascended to the high court.
In an opinion piece published last July 13, The Wall Street Journal noted Kagan, responding to a question in a Senate confirmation hearings, said she had no role in advising the Obama administration on healthcare reform.
At the time Kagan was U.S. solicitor general, the administration's top courtroom lawyer. Federal law requires judges who have served in government to withdraw when they have "participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy."
The Journal said it doubted Kagan's assertion she did not offer a merit opinion to the administration on healthcare reform, adding: "Ms. Kagan would sit as Mr. Obama's nominee on the nation's highest court on a case of momentous constitutional importance. If there is any chance that the public will perceive her to have prejudged the case, or rubber-stamped the views of the president who appointed her, she will damage her own credibility as a justice and that of the entire court."
The attempt to push Kagan out grew more serious when 49 congressional Republicans signed a letter asking for an investigation of her denial of involvement.
The letter, sent to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith of Texas and ranking Democrat John Conyers of Michigan, asked for an immediate investigation by the committee. The 49 Republicans said recently released U.S. Justice Department documents show Kagan "actively participated with her Obama administration colleagues in formulating a defense" for the law.
"Even from the limited number of DOJ e-mails released to date through the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit" by Judicial Watch, the letter said, "it is evident that Justice Kagan was involved in (healthcare reform) defense activities to a degree that warrants her disqualification from related proceedings as specified" by the federal law.
Two Republican presidential candidates, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, were among the signers.
The Justice Department had a different take on the released e-mails, The Washington Times reported. A department spokeswoman said, "During her tenure, former Solicitor General Elena Kagan did not play any substantive role in litigation challenging healthcare reform legislation, and the documents that were released reflect that."
Wait a minute, Democrats said. If Kagan has to go, what about questions surrounding Clarence Thomas and that anti-healthcare reform money?
Last February, one week after U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, called for Kagan to recuse herself, a group of 74 House Democrats called for Thomas to remove himself from healthcare reform review, citing his wife's ties to the Tea Party and other anti-healthcare initiatives.
New York Democrat Anthony Weiner -- remember him? He quit Congress after admitting he tweeted pictures of his crotch to women he didn't know -- led the charge.
"The appearance of a conflict of interest merits recusal under federal law. From what we have already seen, the line between your impartiality and you and your wife's financial stake in the overturn of healthcare reform is blurred," the lawmakers said in their letter, Politico reported. "Your spouse is advertising herself as a lobbyist who has 'experience and connections' and appeals to clients who want a particular decision -- they want to overturn healthcare reform."
Liberty Central, a conservative think tank, was founded by Thomas' wife Virginia to oppose healthcare reform and climate change legislation.
"Conservatives, without a peep of protest, accepted the fact that the wife of a Supreme Court justice was accepting corporate contributions to lead a campaign against the president of the United States on two issues that would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court," an opinion piece in the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel said. "But can you imagine what howls of protest would have been heard had Mrs. Stephen Breyer led a similar campaign against George W. Bush?"
The piece cited Think Progress reports the American Enterprise Institute gave Thomas a bust of Abraham Lincoln worth $15,000.
"At the time, AEI was also involved in three cases before the Supreme Court. Thomas recused himself from none of the three," the piece said. "Think Progress was also the first to report Thomas' attendance at a top-secret corporate fundraising conference held in Palm Springs (Calif.) in January 2008 and hosted by (right-wing billionaires) Charles and David Koch."
The letter by the Democratic House members also said Thomas' "failure to disclose Ginny Thomas' receipt of $686,589 from the Heritage Foundation, a prominent opponent of healthcare reform, between 2003 and 2007 has raised great concern."
Wait another minute, liberal Justice Stephen Breyer said at last month's Aspen (Colo.) Ideas Festival.
When an audience member posed a recusal question based on Thomas' situation, The Daily Beast reported, Breyer said, "This is a false issue.
"As far as what your wife does or your husband does, I myself try to stick to a certain principle, and feel very strongly about it, that a wife or a husband is an independent person and they make up their own minds what their career is going to be."
Breyer suggested a Thomas recusal would not be a good idea, The Daily Beast said. "The Supreme Court is different in one respect. In every other court, if I decided in a close matter to recuse myself, that's the easy decision. That's one fewer case I have to decide, and besides, they'll bring in somebody else to decide it. If I recuse myself on the Supreme Court, there is no one else and that could switch the result."
One other thing, Breyer pointed out: That federal law requiring judges to recuse themselves if there is a conflict of interest -- the one prominently featured in the letters from congressional Democrats and Republicans -- doesn't apply to Supreme Court justices.
In the end, whether to withdraw from a case to preserve the appearance of impartiality is strictly an individual justice's choice.
One of the most famous examples of that principle came in 2004, when Justice Antonin Scalia joined Vice President Dick Cheney in a visit to a duck-hunting farm in Louisiana. Besides the disturbing image of Scalia and Cheney waddling around, blasting away at equally plump half-tame ducks, the Supreme Court already had agreed to hear a case on whether Cheney had the right to keep secret the names of lobbyists invited to participate on the administration's energy advisory board.
Scalia angrily rejected broad calls for him to withdraw from the case, eventually joining in a unanimous decision to "duck" the Cheney question and send it back down to the lower courts -- though he wrote separately he would have dismissed the case.
History certainly may repeat itself in any high court review of the healthcare reform challenges.
Bottom line: Don't expect either Kagan or Thomas to withdraw from the case.

Still trying to make the case for mobile optimization of your company's website? Or worse -- have you gotten the green light, but are so overwhelmed by the project that you don't know where to begin?
Makes sense. Starting from square one is hard. Google probably figured as much, and they graciously conducted a study to help make mobile marketers' lives a little bit easier: "What Users Want Most From Mobile Sites Today." The study, which we found via Marketing Land, reports on two helpful perspectives. First, it helps you make the case for mobile site optimization by reporting on how smartphone users feel about mobile browsing experiences with businesses now. Then, it dives into the actual things smartphone users want from a company's mobile site.
With this data, you can build a case and actually make a user's dream scenario happen! Take a look at some of the highlights we've pulled from the study that we think will help you with your mobile marketing.
How Smartphone Users Feel About the Mobile Browsing Experience
1) 96% of smartphone users have encountered sites that weren't designed for mobile devices. Tweet This Stat!
2) 67% of users are more likely to purchase a product or service from a mobile-friendly site. Tweet This Stat!
3) 74% of users say they're also more likely to return to a site in the future if it's mobile-friendly. Tweet This Stat!
4) On the other hand, 79% of users who don't like what they find on a mobile site will go look for the information they need on another site. Tweet This Stat!
5) Additionally, 52% of users said a bad mobile experience made them less likely to engage with a company. Tweet This Stat!
6) And even if users really like a business, 50% of users will use that business less if their site isn't mobile-friendly. Tweet This Stat!
7) 48% of users say they feel frustrated and annoyed when on sites that are poorly optimized for mobile. 36% say they feel like they've wasted their time when they visit those sites. Tweet This Stat!
8) 48% of users that report a business' site didn't work well on their smartphones took it as an indication the company didn't care about their business. Tweet This Stat!
Smartphone Users' Ideal Browsing Experience
9) 76% of users want to get location or operating hours from a mobile site. Tweet This Stat!
10) 61% of users want to be able to click-to-call a business on their mobile site; 54% are looking to send an email. Tweet This Stat!
11) 53% of users want to download an app on a business' mobile site. Tweet This Stat!
12) 48% of users want to be able to access a company's social networks from their mobile site. Tweet This Stat!
13) 41% of users want to be able to play a video clip from a business' mobile site. Tweet This Stat!
14) 78% of users want to be able to find what they're looking for on a mobile site in just one or two clicks. The same percentage of users cites a desire for a search bar that's both easy to find, and to use. Tweet This Stat!
15) 76% of users want a business' mobile site to fit the small screen of their smartphone better. 64% said they want to only scroll up and down, not left and right. Tweet This Stat!

Talking about his drama "Lee Daniels' The Butler," in which Forest Whitaker plays a fictionalized version of a real butler who worked in the White House for more than three decades, the titular director says, "I did this movie because I needed to understand why it was that I get followed in stores."
However, it must be noted that the movie opening Friday mentions a wide variety of key moments in the civil rights movement without providing detail on them--or looking at why race relations haven't advanced farther amid all the other progress in the modern era. At the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, the 53-year-old, Oscar-nominated filmmaker ("Precious") talked about directing Oprah (who plays the butler's wife), balancing history and entertainment and addressing current problems on screen.
What goes through your head as you direct probably the second most powerful woman in the world?
What do you think?
I haven't done it.
[Laughs] Well, it's probably what you think … It was intimidating. The beginning was very weird. Because though she had produced me for "Precious" and we were friends and we were looking for something to work [on] together, she's a very powerful person. Strong. And so it was intimidating in the beginning, and then I realized, "Either I can direct her, or I can not direct her."
Were there a few times early on where you said gently, "If you could do that again … please …"
No, I just kept saying, "It sucks. I don't believe you. Do it again."
You really said that?
Oh, yeah. Many times.
What did she say?
She was there to help. I couldn't treat her any differently than I treated any other actor. It would have made me look weird in front of the other actors. I can't not be mean.
If I tried to do that to her, she'd probably pay to have me killed. I'm not a director.
[Laughs] No, I'd say, "That sucks; let's try that again." Or "Give me half of that." Or less. But what was great about her was that—because it was all about me; it wasn't about her, it was about me and what I thought—once I got over that she was open. She was like, "What do you want me to do?" I think that's a sign of a great artist, an actor, is when they say, "Yes, sir, what would you like?" They want to make you happy because they know ultimately this is my vision. It was magical. At night I would go, "Oh my god, I can't believe I'm directing Oprah! [Laughs] What is going on in my life?!"
Harry Lennix recently questioned the treatment of reality in "The Butler." What do you think the balance is when it comes to telling important stories that are a part of our history while at the same time acknowledging the way that things are today?
I don't know who Harry Lennix is. So who is that?
Have you not heard about this?
I'll quote him: "[Daniels] bastardizes history for a horrible end and purpose." He's an actor, by the way. He's in "Man of Steel" just to name one. "So what if [Eugene Allen] was a servant in the White House? That's incidental. I mean, God bless the man, but in an effort to make it seem somehow profound they bastardized the actual history of the man … Can we move to 2013? When our concerns are not about what happened to some servants with the help of some white people … let's talk about today."
Well, now I know who Harry Lennix is. [Laughs] Hmm. He's an actor? Did he want to come see me for the movie or something and I wouldn't see him?
I don't believe so. I think he read the script and considered it and decided not to move forward.
Well, he couldn't have been considered if I don't know who he is. That's first. But I think that I've touched the hearts of many, many butlers. Many, many, many civil rights leaders. I've touched the heart of my mom, who marched with Martin Luther King. And people that I respect. And I know that we've got a long way to go. And I did this movie because I needed to understand why it was that I get followed in stores … I go to Saks, I'm followed.
By employees that think you're up to something?
Yeah! And I can't get a taxi in New York City. Sometimes I have an assistant who's white just so that I can get a taxi half the time.
I totally hear what you're saying, but that's a now problem.
I need to understand why. I need for my kids to understand why. This stuff is not taught in schools. My kids go to fancy schools on the upper east side of New York City, and they know more about the Holocaust than they do about the civil rights movement. We need to understand why there are race relations today and where it came from. I believe that American history is the civil rights movement. I think that I'm telling a story about a father and son. Who was right? Was it the father's way that was right, who was serving his country in a way to getting by [through] passivity? By being passive so the white man could trust him? Was he right or was his son's way, who was out there fighting in the streets? So for anybody to question what my understanding is of the civil rights movement—
But you mention those problems now. With all due respect, I think people will come out of this movie feeling relatively good. Obviously, the election of Obama is phenomenal, but like we said, there's still such a long way to go.
I go overseas and [journalists] say, "How can there be a black president with all the racial tensions going on in America today?" And I can't answer that question. Can you answer that question?
I can't, and I have to mention that I don't know Danny Strong, but I have to admit that I'm white and would never try to write a movie about the black experience. Was there any consideration of having a black writer for this movie?
Danny wrote the history part of it, and then I wrote the experience. Everyone in the family. I wrote the dialogue and everything, but Danny got credit for it as well he should. As is most cases the director comes in with a script and he puts his polish on it. He puts his pass on it. I put the nuance in it. The flavor in it. The truth in it as I see it as I witnessed it from my mom, as I witnessed it from my uncles and aunts.
If you were to make a movie about what you were talking about, that feeling of being followed in a store and racial issues today, what would that be?
I don't need to. I think this says it all. I don't need to.
This says it all about the racial issues today?
I think so, yeah. It says why it was, why it is, that we are where we are right now.
But our country has come so far. The gay rights issue, for example, has a long way to go also but fortunately people are coming around and making progress in a way.
(the publicist tries to cut us off, and Daniels addresses her) I'm sorry, this is fascinating. Just, one sec, yeah.
Addressing important elements of history and the reasons that people were bigoted before certainly informs where we come from, but I still wonder why some people haven't moved past that?
Why who haven't moved past it?
All the people who are following you in a store or are being bigoted against gays or whatever it may be. There's knowing where we came from but also that present component of, "Why haven't we finished with this, then?"
It's deep, right? I don't have the answer. I don't have the answer to that. It's disturbing. Why do you bring these questions up?! I was in a good mood!
I wish we had longer to talk!
What'd you think of the film?
As an American, this is important to me. I care about human rights and civil rights. I know that this movie will hit me differently than it will hit people who take it more personally. That said, I thought it was an interesting approach to include so much. I know we can't make a five-hour movie, but it's easy to want a lot of detail about these things, as opposed to incorporating so much briefly. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. It's hard. It's really hard to cram all that in. To cram that history in and not make it a history lesson.
Where is that line between education where you're naming a lot of things as opposed to naming maybe three things and going into extensive detail about them?
I think what we tried is we disappear through the family. It is ultimately a father and a son story. About the father and the son and his views and the father's views. I think that that transcends race first and foremost. And then is the backdrop of the history and what's happening in America. I took many, many moments out because I thought that at points it became a history lesson. I didn't want to walk us through history. I don't know whether I accomplished that. Where we just are with the family, Gloria's alcohol struggles. Is she going to have this affair? What is the family going through? [Ed. Note: Spoiler alert!!!!] What their reaction is to the son dying. The relationship between the two brothers. The backdrop of history, I just tried to spinkle it in the back subliminally to the audience. I don't know; I hope it works.

I loved going to my grandparents' house as a kid. At their home in a nearby county, we fished, played golf, ate Southern food and generally reveled in my spoiling. But there was one thing I detested: the water.
I loved going to my grandparents' house as a kid. At their home in a nearby county, we fished, played golf, ate Southern food and generally reveled in my spoiling. But there was one thing I detested: the water.
It was heavily softened, which meant it was treated to remove minerals. I do not know much about minerals, but they must taste really good.
The water at Grandma's seemed oily, and it did not rinse off soap. No matter how much water rushed over your lathered-up skull, your skull stayed lathered up. That water was not good for drinking or bathing, which happen to be my two favorite uses for water.
I became homesick for Ocala's water, which is softened some but remains immensely drinkable. Tasty, even.
But while our city water rocks, our county water apparently is the Dom P�rignon of drinking water.
The Florida Rural Water Association this week crowned Marion County Utilities for having the best-tasting water among more than a dozen other competing utilities in the state.
In the highly competitive world of water tasting, Marion County will now represent Florida in the 2014 Great American Water Taste Test in February in Washington, D.C.
No joke.
Marion County Utilities won the state title after bringing an iced, one-quart container of water to the Florida Rural Water Association's annual conference in Daytona Beach.
"Distinguished taste testers" judged the samples on color, odor, taste and quench factor, according to FRWA.
As for the national title, the defending Great American Water champion is Village of Prairie du Sac in Wisconsin.
They know cheese. We know water.
Marion County Utilities has also made waves nationally. In December, MRU won the 2013 National Environmental Achievement Award from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies. MRU won the honor for its Wastewater Regionalization in Support of Silver Springs projects.
Too bad there is no award for Most Cumbersome Municipal Project Name.
No matter. We are set for a triple crown when we take our thirst-quenching, odor-free, one-quart container of H2Ohhh YEAH to Washington. We are a competitive bunch here in Marion County, and we thirst for a good rivalry, even if we have no clue where Village of Prairie du Sac is.
We just know our water is No. 1, suckers!
Nature has a lot to do with our water quality, as our water is rooted in the Floridan aquifer. Still, I think of this as a community title, a refection not only of our pristine springs and MRU's diligent care, but also of us. We chose to live here. We pay our utility bills. We do not have shampoo in our hair.
Thus, we have every right to smack-talk Wisconsin until February.
It's on, Prairie people. It's on.

Big Ten explores playoff for national title
The Big Ten, which helped squash the notion of a four-team playoff to crown a national champion in college football several years ago, is taking another look.
"All of the Big Ten athletic directors are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff," Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said Tuesday. "Four is better than two."
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith agreed and said the discussions stem from feedback "that we need to do something different," especially after the recent BCS title game between LSU and Alabama drew lower ratings that other championship games.
"The fans have been loud and clear," Smith said. "We also recognize that structurally there's things that we want to try and change with the bowl system — how teams get in the bowls. It's time to be curious about everything."
The BCS title game pits the nation's top two teams based on poll and computer rankings. The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that one of the ideas before the Big Ten would put the two semifinal games on the campuses of the higher seeded teams, and the national championship would be held in cities that bid for the hosting rights.
The so-called plus-one format — two semifinals plus the title game — was proposed in 2008 by the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference. It was shot down by the leaders of the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame.
The 11 Bowl Championship Series conferences have already met to discuss possible changes to the system starting in 2014. NCAA President Mark Emmert has said he supports a four-team championship playoff and is strongly against a 16-team format.
Emmert has also said there has been talk of using a Final Four model, a scenario which would've matched LSU against Stanford and Alabama versus Oklahoma State this season, with the winners advancing to the title game.
Despite the Big Ten's interest in a playoff, there is at least one big hurdle: The Rose Bowl, with its storied history to two of the nation's biggest conferences.
"The Rose Bowl is extremely important to Michigan State just as it is to every school in the Big Ten and Pac-12," Hollis said. "There are more questions than answers about how any format would work, including where the games would be played and what the bowl-type experiences would be like in a championship format.
"My eyes are always open to explore all opportunities, but I don't think we want to exceed 15 games."
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon, who is open to any option that includes keeping the conference and Pac-12 tied to the Rose Bowl, said he's not sure the plus-one model will please everybody.
"I know a lot of people would love to see one more great football game, but I'm not sure this type of playoff will make it more fair," Brandon said. "At some point, you have to draw the line. With four teams, there will be controversies about who those four teams should be because it's usually not clear."
Smith said there are too many bowl games, lagging ticket sales and teams are already playing "too deep into January" with players who happen to be students, too. He had reservations about a playoff where students play back to back games.
Still, he said there was a need to discuss the format now.
"This is the window of time before we go and do something with another partner, or current partner, we don't want to just do the same thing without trying to address some of those issues," he said. "But if we ended up with a plus-one playoff, it would be exciting for fans but there's a lot of issues around it."
BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said 50 to 60 possibilities for various changes were presented during a meeting in New Orleans, where Alabama beat LSU in the BCS title game last month. Hancock anticipated it would take several more meetings to reach a conclusion in July.
Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, who declined comment Tuesday, has acknowledged he would consider the prospect of a four-team field.
"Four years ago, five of us didn't want to have the conversation," Delany told reporters last month. "Now we all want to have the conversation."
Asked about how the revenue from a playoff would be distributed, Smith noted that was a key issue.
"You know, as we went into the BCS system and it was developed over time, the distribution of money changed over time, right?" he said. "What we need to do is if we end up there, that needs to be decided early. I agree with our commissioner that whatever we do it needs to in my view a longer-term deal as opposed to a shorter-term deal so we can lock these things in and give it a chance to work. That includes the distribution of the funds. But that has to be talked about."

BERLIN (AP) — Greece's prime minister stressed his country was determined to win back credibility in Europe, and was delivering on the reforms and austerity needed to achieve that goal, as he met Tuesday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Antonis Samaras' visit to Berlin was his second since taking office last summer.
"I would like to make clear up front that our country is undertaking great efforts that are linked with great sacrifices to get things back on track," Samaras said during a brief appearance alongside Merkel before they met at the chancellery. "We are trying to win back credibility, on the part of the people of Europe and on the part of the markets."
Greece has been kept afloat since May 2010 by rescue loans from the other 16 European Union countries that use the euro and the International Monetary Fund. In return for the loans, the lenders — Merkel's Germany in particular — have insisted on a series of economic reforms, tax raises and spending cuts.
Merkel said she would "of course be interested in what progress the implementation of the Greek reform program is making," but didn't offer any assessment.
The two leaders took no questions. The German government said after the talks that they discussed progress on tax reforms and other plans, and that Samaras set out Greece's efforts to combat tax evasion. They also discussed possibilities for further German-Greek cooperation, the government said without elaborating.
In remarks to reporters earlier Tuesday before he attended a closed-doors conference, Samaras said he considers "the glass half full" and was in Berlin with a message of optimism.
"We are delivering and Europe is helping," he said.
Ahead of the meeting, Merkel stressed the need for greater economic integration across Europe. EU nations are, among other things, setting up a banking union to better oversee their financial sector, but have yet to agree on key details.
"We must agree on stronger economic policy coordination by June this year, and there is plenty of work ahead of us," she said.

It is incredible to think that almost 35 years after his sad and premature death that Steve McQueen remains one of the most recognisable and iconic Hollywood stars.
Barbour certainly thinks McQueen is a legend. The British brand has been adding to its McQueen inspired range.
In keeping with McQueen's on (and off) screen persona it is tough clothing that you'd expect to wear as you hare round the Mojave desert on a bike.
How this translate to waiting at a bus stop in Romford remains to be seen, but hey we can all aspire.
It is, as you'd expect from Barbour, high quality clobber made from tough durable materials. Some of the items are distressed to accentuate that tough guy look. You can make your own minds up about these.
There are however a few less expensive items that might appeal to film buffs. Here's a selection,but you can see whole load more here.
