As usual they have lots of BS about why liberals can call conservatives c*nts, b*tches, tw*ts, but it's OUTRAGEOUS when Rush does it. (That doesn't mean I agree when Rush does it, but the double standard liberals have about this is nothing but first rate.) They tie themselves up in knots justifying the grotesque things that have been said about conservative women, but essentially it all comes down to ..........they deserve it.

Critics of Rush Limbaugh Ignore Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi Misogyny
Last edited Fri Mar 9, 2012, 11:15 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Kirsten Powers doubles down on Liberal misogny.
The truth hurts.
Members of the professional left reacted with outrage to my column this week calling them out for their fake war against media misogyny. Instead of addressing the encyclopedia of left-wing misogyny I raised, many liberals chose instead to start a ferocious battle with all manner of straw men.
Its not true that liberals never call out people for misogyny! is the refrain. Of course its not true, and I never said it was. Many of the professional left seem incapable of distinguishing between a few blog posts and comments condemning left-wing misogyny and a full-scale war to remove someone from their job. This really shouldnt be so hard to grasp: If you hate misogyny and sexism in the media, then react to the consistent and repeated misogyny of men on the left with the same fervor that you have reacted to Rush Limbaughs sickening outbursts

2. here's the difference

Sandra Fluke is not a public figure.
And while Sarah may claim that Bristol is not, being a contestant on Dancing With the Stars pushed her into that territory.
According to this justification anyone should be able to call Michelle Obama a tw*t and c*nt freely since she is a public figure. She's not just married to the President, she makes public appearances and tries to tell everyone what they should eat among other things. Public figure. Go figure. That means we get a free pass to demean her.

13. The difference: Limbaugh is not a comedian. He is the mouthpiece of the Republican party
View profile
and Bill Mahr makes jokes about people and situations. That is what comedians do.
When this subject comes up it is always fascinating how right wing nuts can't find one sentence said by a liberal commentator they can put quotes around. Limbaugh has many insulting things that are in black and white with quotes.
I challenge any wing nutter to come up with a liberal quote from a political pundit that even resembles the "S" and "P" words that Limbaugh used. I also challenge any wing nut to come up with an example of a liberal that spent three days insulting and berating a single individual and demanding a video of them having sex.One of the 99 (127 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail Ignore
17. Kristen Powers has sold her soul
View profile
for a paycheck from FAUX News and the NY Post. If this is an issue that has concerned her, why is it only now that she is saying something about it. The best refutation of her accusations was made by David Frum: http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/05/opinio...ess/index.html
And let me just say this, I've never cared for Matt Taibbi. He's nasty and many times fact challenged: http://prospect.org/article/errors-matt-taibbi
As far as Maher, many of his sexist comments disturb me as well as his racist comments. He called the President 'chocolate jesus' for most of 2008 and makes many subtle racist comments like he did to Neil DeGrasse Tyson on last week's show.
But also remember, Sarah Palin and Michelle Malkin are not innocent victims in this either. They have made many outrageous comments over the years. In contrast to Ms. Fluke who in her appearance before congress stated her case with respect and class.1ProudAtheist (128 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail Ignore

please allow me to explain something to you.......slowly, and in plain english so that even you can understand. The things that Bill Maher said about Laura Ingram and The Alaskan Dingbat, were "person specific", directed at only a single person, and intended as his opinions of persons with whom he disagrees. What the pig-faced pill-popper said, was directed at the 99% of all women (the other 1% are just lying) who use birth control. Calling women sl*ts just because they have sex, and use birth control, is in no way the same thing as calling someone a c**t because she spews a message of racism, bigtry, and hate, on open airwaves. (translation: she doesn't believe what we believe and she challenges our beliefs)
For those who think that these are the same thing, I feel sorry for you. You are misguided, misinformed, and misled. One other thing, the second grade mentality that what one person does or says gives another person an excuse to do something, is just a typical right-wing tactic, used when all other rationale has been exhausted. Anyone that stoops to such lame rhetoric, does not deserve to be members of a community such as this, a community that was founded as an outlet for those opposing such childish actions and behaviors.

Lets get this right ...
If Liberal/ Progressive / Moonbat says something offensive, its okay with The Moonbats.
If anyone else says something offensive, The Moonbats will destroy them.
And they wonder why we call them hypocrits.CU's Paranormal Expert.

Bill Maher = Rush Limbaugh.
They're both anti-woman trash.
I've seen Taibbi on Scrotum-face's FBN program, ah, excuse me, "The Don Imus Show." In addition to being a generally-crazy CT nutcase, he looks like the guy you would cast as a murderous stalker for a movie. He gives me the creeps.
As Rush pointed out on his show the new ABC show called "GCB" stands for "Good Christian Bit*hes". Where is the outrage?

It's a funny show.
The show doesn't make fun of devout Christians. It makes fun of the shallow fakers, who consider breast implants for their teenaged daughters to be a more important expense than helping the poor. If anything, it is mocking people like the Crouches, the Osteens and other purveyors of the message that "Jesus saves you then makes you rich".
Besides, Annie Potts is hilarious.

To sum up many of the things I have learned here, I've compiled a list (in no particular order of importance):
1) Cash
Yes, I already knew how to use an ATM machine. What I didn't know until my time abroad is how much money I can spend without realizing it. I haven't shopped much at all since I've been here in terms of clothes, but the little things up; groceries, dinner out, taking a taxi or the occasional weekend trip, of course. Because it's so much easier to use cash here, I've had to make far too many trips to the ATM than comfortable. Back home, I'd use my debit card most of the time, so changing to cash was an adjustment. I have a feeling, however, that once I'm home I'll stick to cash so that I can really monitor my spending!
2) Walk when you can
Because my accommodation is the furthest from town (a little over a mile), I really got a lot of walking in. At first, it seemed a nuisance to have to make the trek everyday into town for class or a simple trip to the store for everyday necessities. However, it didn't take me long to realize that a walk was the only way I'd learn the paths and inner-workings of St Andrews. Of course, when that northern wind begins blowing, a week-long bus pass is the way to go. Or of course, if you happen to be in London, take the tube since there is so much packed into one city!
3) Balance old and new
Being so far from home, I learned that I had to find the familiar for comfort, but also make new things familiar to make my new home, home. For example, I'm sure you remember my countless mentions of Starbucks in previous posts. Starbucks was and is a habit that began at home. Despite it being a chain, that part doesn't matter; it's simply having a place around that is also located back home. In a way, it sort of connected my two very different worlds together. Of course, I had to find things that I could make familiar to me. Taste, a local coffee shop that in size, is smaller than my flat, became a new place to go and feel warm. Also, Northpoint (where I'm actually writing this very post) became a friendly place to go for food. The point is, make sure to have both worlds on your side by being involved with both; take an interest in maintaing a relationship with home and simultaneously taking an interest in a new relationship.
3) Talk
Speaking of home, I learned how important it is to Skype, use Viber and Facebook for communicating with loved ones from home. For all the highs and lows, the only constants in my time abroad were loved ones. For all that was good, I wanted to share with those from home; for all that was difficult, I needed advice from those I could trust and be open with. Skype was my saving grace so many times while I was here.
4) Engage
While on the topic of relationships, being abroad forced me to engage. What I mean is, anything and anyone that came around, I learned to simply engage and commit. The way I see it, any person you come across or any situation you happen upon, it's best to run with it because more than likely, those people and opportunities may be once-in-a-lifetime things. I think that's what has made my experiences so memorable. I have every intention of maintaining a few friendships that began here as well. And I have been inspired forever from my experiences here.
5) Write
I could be bias here, as I am an avid writer, but I would recommend that anyone traveling write down his/her experiences. Memories will be made of course, but writing them down is a nice documentation of all the details; it makes those memories more concrete. And, if you happen to set up a blog, others can live out your experiences with you, no matter where they are in the world in relation to you.
6) Lose sleep
Although my first month here was a month of stolen sleep, looking back on the nights spent out were well worth it. Some of my best memories have been the nights that turned into morning out on the town and outside of bed. Besides, you never know the personality of a town until you see it at night. The stars come out, the street lights come on and the seriousness under the sun cools off to the memories made under the moon. It's worth it to lose a bit of sleep now and then while abroad. Besides, it extends your time!
7) Enjoy
It may sound like a cliché, but as simple as it sounds, enjoy. If anything, simply just be and let be and enjoy every minute that you have abroad. It may only happen once, so worries of everyday life can wait until you're back home. I've forced myself to relax and adapt, which, as a usually anxious individual, is a big step for me.
These are only seven things I've learned in Scotland, but they're invaluable lessons to me.

Last Wednesday, the Kent County Grand Jury reported out an indictment charging Tony Gonzalez, 25, of 48 June St. in Providence, with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a Warwick man earlier this year.
Police said Gonzalez was feuding with the victim's friend and went to the Nausauket Road address to confront him, which precipitated the shooting.
Gonzalez is also charged with one count each of assault with intent to commit murder; discharge of a firearm while committing a crime of violence; discharge of a firearm with committing a crime of violence; and assault with intent to commit murder.
Police said Gonzalez shot and killed Carl Cunningham Jr. at a Nausauket Road address on Jan. 22 of this year. Gonzalez is also charged with assaulting a second man, Matthew Chivers, with the intent to murder him in the same incident.
Gonzalez has been held without bail since his arrest on Jan. 23. He is scheduled for arraignment in Kent County Superior Court on June 8.

Subject: Registration of Municipal Advisors
Date: December 12, 2013
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
Description: Dodd-Frank Act Section 975, SEC Final Rule, Registration of Municipal Advisors
This OCC bulletin alerts national banks and federal savings associations (collectively, banks) that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued its final rule on the registration of municipal advisors. This bulletin rescinds OCC Bulletin 2010-38, "Dodd-Frank Act Section 975 and SEC Interim Final Temporary Rule," September 28, 2010.
Section 975 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act1 amended section 15B(a) of the Securities Exchange Act to make it unlawful for municipal advisors to provide certain advice to or to solicit municipal entities or certain other persons without registering with the SEC. On September 8, 2010, the SEC issued an interim final temporary rule implementing a temporary registration regime for municipal advisors. On November 12, 2013, the SEC published a final rule establishing a permanent registration regime for municipal advisors.2 The final rule becomes effective on January 13, 2014.
The final rule does not provide a general blanket exemption for banks. The SEC has stated that banks do not have to register to the extent they provide advice on certain identified banking products and services, such as deposit accounts, extensions of credit, sweep accounts, or bond indenture trustee services. This tailored exemption does not apply to banks that provide advice to or on behalf of a municipal entity or "obligated person" with respect to "municipal financial products" or the issuance of municipal securities, including advice with respect to the structure, timing, terms, and other similar matters concerning such financial products or issues; or if they undertake a solicitation of a municipal entity or an obligated person.
As defined by the Securities Exchange Act, "municipal financial products" are municipal derivatives, guaranteed investment contracts, and "investment strategies." According to the SEC, a person providing advice with respect to "investment strategies" has to register only if such advice relates to (1) the investment of proceeds of municipal securities, (2) the investment of municipal escrow funds, or (3) municipal derivatives. An "obligated person" essentially means an entity such as a non-profit university or non-profit hospital that borrows the proceeds from a municipal securities offering and is obligated by contract or other arrangement to repay all or some portion of the amount borrowed.
Banks should analyze the application of the final rule to their operations. Banks meeting the "municipal advisor" definition must file Form MA-T with the SEC, if they have not already done so, and are subject to a fiduciary duty standard with regard to any municipal entities they advise under the rule. Municipal advisors that register through Form MA-T under the temporary regime are required to file Form MA under the permanent regime on a rolling basis in the latter half of 2014, as set forth in a separate release.3 After September 30, 2014, banks that are required to register must do so under the permanent regime, using Form MA.

STATESBORO, Ga. - Chris Walker's two-out single in the bottom of the tenth inning gave Georgia Southern a 4-3 Southern Conference victory over East Tennessee State at J.I. Clements Stadium Friday night.
After Jared Comstock (6-3) struck out the side in the top of the tenth, Darryl Stephens drew a walk to open the Eagles' (26-15, 14-8) portion of the extra frame. A stolen base and fly-out by Brandon Burnsed moved Stephens to third base, setting the stage for Walker's game deciding hit to left field off Bucs' reliever Jackson Simerly (1-3).
The Eagles sent the game to extra innings with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Walker reached on a one-out single and advanced to second on a walk by Chad Hall. Brendan Gilligan followed with a double down the right field line to score Walker. Jemel Spearman then hit a sacrifice fly to right field to plate Hall and tie the game at 3-3.
East Tennessee State (15-24, 7-12) started off the scoring in the top of the sixth as Andy Baxter led off with a double to left field. Scott Rose eventually drove in Baxter with a two-out single to right.
Georgia Southern evened the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh on a wild pitch before ETSU right fielder Nathan Copeland hit his tenth home run of the season over the right field wall in the top of the eighth inning to regain a one-run advantage. The Buccaneers added a single run in the top of the ninth to extend their lead to 3-1.
GSU starter Brett Lewis worked eight and two-thirds innings, allowing nine hits and all three ETSU runs in the no-decision. Meanwhile, Bucs' starter Reid Casey pitched eight and one-third innings while also allowing nine hits and three runs.
The two teams resume the three-game series Saturday in J.I. Clements Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Plymouth was handing these out at Thursday's Juniperlooza session. I didn't get one right away, but my new friend John Martin grabbed an extra and passed it along to me on Friday.
I don't know whether to use it or just admire it!
I sort of mocked this at first, thinking it was a cheap set with a 3-piece shaker, crappy barspoon, and bad jiggers, but upon getting it home and really opening it up I was thoroughly impressed. I'm constantly carrying a wine box full of bartending gear around so this will be well used. The muddler is a bit broad though, I think.
I managed to get one for Marleigh in the Juniperlooza session (she was stuck in the middle of blogger row and they were done passing them out) and Joana snagged one for Jay by turning on her feminine wiles when she came to look for me after the session had ended.
I didn't open mine until the last day when we were packing, but WOW! That thing is amazing. I can't wait to put it to use. Thanks for grabbing it for me, Gabriel!
I love the barspoon that doubles as a muddler!
Man, I'm sure bummed I didn't grab this piece of cool swag! Looks super convenient for dragging around the country teaching cocktail classes… (I broke my mixing glass on the last jaunt! I guess a sweater isn't good packing material…)
So great to see the bloggers. The blogger party was what I most looked forward to!!
My brother snagged one of these for me, so he officially is worth keeping around. Unfortunately, the first time I used the boston shaker set, a piece of glass about the size of a shark's tooth chipped off the glass and ended up in the drink. But this has barely diminished my excitement over the set itself. Got plenty of other mixing glasses.
Gorgeous. It seems you had a great time – but you must be exhausted!

The long and the short of it: Borut Bozic, who last year won a stage in the Vuelta for Vacansoleil and finished third in Paris - Tours, once kicked my ass across the length of Cuba (in 2006), including on the last stage where he embarrassed me in front of my wife! Even still, we became fast friends, and BB graciously gave this interview, which appears on Pez. He's a super-interesting character and he speaks frankly...and when given the chance to dis' VINO, he declines! Ugh! That's right - not everyone in the ProTour hates Vino!
Seriously though, check out the interview - it's really good.
UPDATED: VeloResults UK takes an interest in Bozic, and reprints the interview here, with a fresher selection of pictures! And if you like what you read, and want to learn more about Bozic and his Vacansoleil team, visit their Fan Club, here!

Great interview. Thanks. Any thoughts on the rider's chances to win another Vuelta stage?ReplyDelete
Thanks, Anon. Unfortunately, Borut's chances of winning another Vuelta stage this year are nil, as his team was not invited to the Spanish tour this season. :(ReplyDelete

Many people don�t know about my love for the �Game of Baseball�. I liken it to my love for the �Game of Emergency Service�.
In baseball my favorite player was a man named Lou Gehrig. This player was dealt what he called �a bad blow� (a fatal disease) that forced him from his career and took his life shortly thereafter.
Gehrig gave an epic speech at Yankee Stadium to tell everyone about his situation. I�m not trying to compare myself to Gehrig, but I modified his speech to tie into the ending chapter of my time in Stafford County.
Folks, for the past several weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the "Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth." Let me explain.
I have worked in Fire & EMS for the past 35 years. I have received more than my fair share of kindness and encouragement from my fellow workers and customers during those years.
Just look at the grand men and women I have worked with over the years and now lately. Which of you wouldn�t consider it the highlight of his or her career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I�m lucky.
On the fire side who wouldn�t consider it an honor to have worked with Jerry Sanders and Marshal Sanders along with the Stafford and St. John firefighters? How about those up north � Tom Fisher and Mark Clasen along with their firefighters? And then on the west side is Rob Murrow with his Macksville firefighters.
On the EMS side you have Jorja Coleman leading the Stafford EMTs, Misty Blakeslee leading St. John, and Gregg Maseberg with the lead for Macksville. Then there's St. John Police Chief Adam Sayler, Macksville Police Chief Troy Wright, and Stafford Police Chief Doug Brown who performs every emergency role ever invented.
And let us not forget the three administrative officers who have to put up with me more than any of the others. These three – Misty Blakeslee, Nick Lauffer and Davin Graves – they accomplish so much behind the scenes.
And one of my favorites that does a bit of everything – the little energizer bunny named Brenda.
And this doesn�t even include the greats during my career in Salina and Leavenworth, nor our incredible partners at the hospital and the dispatch room � it's a list that could go on and on. Surely, I�m lucky.
When you have parents who work so that you can eat, stay warm, and get an education � it�s a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed � that�s the finest I know.
I explained several weeks ago to a group gathered at the court house that my job as the Stafford County Emergency Service Director could be explained with the last word in my title � Director.
�I was just the Orchestra Director � folks. It was just directing. I was just the Director � sometimes you are blessed with great musicians, sometimes you aren�t. I was blessed. But, I was just the Orchestra Director.�
So, I close in saying that I might have been given a little bad break, but I�ve made a lot of friends, friends for a lifetime. We�ve accomplished so much together and the memories we made � well, they will last a life time.
In the modified words of another great � �I'm so glad we had this time together, just to operate and improve a Fire, EMS, and EM department, to respond to emergency requests, or have a laugh or sing a song, seems we just got started and before you know it comes the time we have to say�..so long.�
"My God Protect You – As You Protect Others"
*Thank you to EVERYONE for the send off at the County Annex � especially Misty & Davin. Misty choreographed the event and Davin put together all the videos. The love you all have shown to me and my wife could never be topped. And, experiencing that love is truly the highlight of my career.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, the Dow and S&P500 hit new highs. But the rally's hiding huge risks: "GDP turns negative as U.S. economic recovery stalls," screams one headline. Another hears a "Ticking Time Bomb."
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
World's central bankers at Davos warn cheap money's blowing a new asset bubble. Dr. Doom, Marc Faber, "loves the high odds of a 'big-time' market crash." Another, Nouriel Roubini, says "prepare for a perfect storm," while Bond King Bill Gross sees a "credit supernova" dead ahead.
Rally? Bubble? Crash? Global? Is the economy "peaking?" Are we on a long, slow-growth downhill slide to a 1% GDP? Is our banking system infested with a soul-sickness virus? Is Adam Smith's capitalist ideal turning against our markets and economy, accelerating the odds of more brutal competitive wars over an ever-shrinking, low-margin profits pool?
The answers became obvious in a disturbing new comment from Seth Godin, best-selling author of "Unleashing the Idea Virus" and one of America's leading minds: "If, 70 years ago, you asked Henry Luce, 'What is Time magazine for?' he'd probably talk about setting society's agenda, capturing the attention of the educated and powerful and most of all, delivering the best weekly news package he could. Today, the answer is clear. The purpose of the magazine is to make as much money as possible. Everything else is in service of that goal. It used to be that the profit enabled the magazine to reach its goals. Today, the goal is to reach the profit."
Profits, profits, profits: Godin warns that our obsession with profits is infecting the entire American culture. Godin is onto something. Ask yourself: Has the decline of America's GDP something to do with our addiction to profits backfiring? Has our obsession with profits come at the expense of our nation's humanity? Are GDP, profits and capitalism now America's "moral compass," the false god Jack Bogle, Vanguard's founder, wrote about several years ago in his classic, "The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism"?
How Wall Street amputated Adam Smith's 'invisible hand'
Godin's perspective echo the predictions Bogle made near the 2008 crash: Adam Smith's "invisible hand" is no longer driving "capitalism in a healthy, positive direction." A "happy conspiracy" of Wall Street, Washington and Corporate America is spreading a "pathological mutation of capitalism," driven by the many profit-addicted "invisible hands" of this new "mutant capitalism," replacing Adam Smith's ideal from 1776, the original soul of democracy and capitalism.
Today as we stare at these three macro trends — the declining GDP, America's all-consuming obsession with profits and Bogle's diagnosis of a "pathological mutation" driving the American economy — and we can easily see that Godin "profits virus" has become a pandemic the last five years, spreading way beyond our banking system, undermining the American and global economies.
Unfortunately, most investors are in denial, blind to the symptoms, refusing to listen, dismissing critics like Godin and Bogle.
10 symptoms of Wall Street's metastasizing soul sickness
Shortly after the 2008 Wall Street bank credit meltdown we identified the symptoms of this mutation of capitalism, profits virus, and soul sickness. With the new SEC chairman appointment of a prosecutor this is a perfect time to update, reexamine what government missed exposing the past five years.
Take a moment to diagnose our bank culture through these 10 symptoms of moral pathology, focused on Goldman Sachs in 2009 because of its conflicts of interest with the Treasury secretary. Since then, however, that toxic culture has metastasized, spreading deep into our banking system, economy and democracy.
Look with fresh eyes and ask yourself if America's "profits virus" obsession made us better place since 2008:
1. Narcissistic self-interest: with an extreme God complex
Narcissists are self-centered, power-driven, myopic. When I was at Morgan Stanley in the 1970s we ran an ad: "If God Wanted To Do a Financing, He Would Call Morgan Stanley." Goldman's boss Lloyd Blankfein not only paid himself $68 million in the hot 2007 market but also, after Wall Street''s 2008 meltdown, bragged to the London Times he was a "blue-collar guy," that banking had a "social purpose," he was just a banker "doing God's work."
2. Pathological liars: incapable of honesty even with own investors
No too-greedy-to-fail bank bosses have gone to jail. Reagan prosecuted 1,800. In 2008 the bosses sold $40 billion of high-risk mortgages. Secretly shorted them. Never told investors. Even our Treasury Secretary knew. Stayed silent. Sin of omission. Main Street lost trillions. That's fraud. That's "mutant capitalism." That's soulless. Nothing's changed.
3. Paranoid obsessive: about secrecy, guilt and non-disclosure
The New York Fed was in on this massive Ponzi scheme. Negotiated in secret. Later taxpayers learned they paid $13 billion too much in secret deals to buy $62 billion of AIG credit-default swaps. Bottom line: the Treasury and Fed covered $180 billion in AIG's toxic CDOs. No disclosure, just fraud.
4. Borderline split personalities: ignoring conflicts of interest
The New York Times: "Before becoming Treasury secretary in 2006, Hank Paulson agreed to hold himself to a higher ethical standard than his predecessors ... said he'd avoid his old buddies at Goldman where he was CEO. Later Congress saw many conflicts of interest, not just meetings but favorable treatment for his buddies at Goldman."
5. Power-mad egomaniacs: running government for personal profits
"For a year Goldman said it wouldn't have suffered damage if AIG collapsed," but a later report proved otherwise, said the Wall Street Journal: TARP inspector general said the New York Fed Chair Tim Geithner did pay too much. "If AIG had collapsed, Goldman would have had to cover the losses itself," couldn't collect, would go bankrupt.
6. Total denial: of own greed, corruption, damage to economy
Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi called Goldman "a giant vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity." Banks triggered a global collapse. Main Street suffered. Greedy bank CEOs raided the U.S. Treasury, still got $30 billion in bonuses, year-over-year 60% increase. And nothing's changed. We're on track to repeat the 2008 meltdown again.
7. No fiduciary duty: only to insiders, conspired to defraud investors
New York Examiner: "Goldman was at the heart of the subprime market, selling subprime junk as no-risk AAA bonds, then gambling, hedging, shorting their investors. Goldman traded like Enron. That set up the meltdown." The Fed and Goldman's ex-CEO at Treasury saved Goldman. Taxpayers got stuck with the bill.
8. Moral failures: Just a PR problem, don't get caught next time
The year after the 2008 crash Goldman Sachs awarded huge bonuses. The public went ballistic. USA Today said Goldman went "on a PR blitz in a bid to undo the damage," canceled its Christmas party. Amid tens of billions in bonuses they "also launched a $500 million program for small businesses." Banks treat moral issues as PR problems.
9. Charitable donations: tax and PR opportunities, not moral issues
The New York Times dug into Goldman's charitable deductions: Money to their foundation was dwarfed by insiders' bonuses. Their foundation got $400 million, gave away $22 million. Insider bonuses were 20 times more. Even the New York Post said "Goldman's Born Again Image is Laughable."
10. Conspiracies cover-up fraud: Feign humility and fake apologies
If caught, just fake it. Blankfein told CBS "he's sorry for the role Goldman played in the housing crisis: We participated in things that were clearly wrong." Clearly wrong? No, "clearly criminal." He was admitting to a fraud. Cheated millions of homeowners, investors. Then he laughs at us with bogus "restitution" claims. A fund of $100 million annually for five years to small-business owners? The Financial Times said "$100 million is the profits from one good trading day. In 3Q '09 they had 36 days better than that." It's time to turn the clock back, prosecute, get a pound of flesh from the vampire squids.
Powerful biblical lesson ... 'Jesus threw them out ...'
Back then, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote: "Goldman's trickle-down catechism isn't working. We have two economies. In the past decade Wall Street's shared little with society. Their culture is totally money-obsessed."
Dowd echoes Godin and Bogle. Dowd saw capitalism run amuck: For them "there's always room for a bigger house, bigger boat. If not, you're falling behind. It's an addiction. And Washington's done little to quell it." And in a clear dig at Goldman's boss: "And as far as doing God's work: The bankers who took taxpayer money, pocketing obscene bonuses: They're the same greedy types Jesus threw out of the temple."
In all 10 areas, ask yourself: Has Wall Street improved since the 2008 crash? Or has it torn our great nation down further, made America worse in the past five years? Blowing another bubble? Is Wall Street's addiction to profits pushing us closer to another, bigger market and economic meltdown, driving America closer to the Second Great Depression?

CINEMATIC MOMENT: In fashion, everything can change with a single encounter. Take Yigal Azrouël, for instance. The designer was introduced to budding director Chiara Clemente over the past weekend. They hit it off, and on the spot decided to do a film collaboration that will make its debut at the designer's fall show at Eyebeam Atelier on Friday.
"Yigal was very much inspired by the energy of New York City while working on the collection," said Clemente, who shot the video riding the New York subway all day on Monday. "I have been working with this energy of the city for the past three years while making my film, 'Our City Dreams.'"
This story first appeared in the January 31, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Azrouël added, "This season is really about texture and fabric and movement for me, and I think Chiara's work brings out the sensorial quality of the collection. She understands my design and has brought her own unique interpretation."
PACK IT UP, PACK IT IN: Fans of Jansport will be getting their groove on tonight when the backpack giant takes over New York's Studio 450 to mark the launch of the Jansport Artist Series. Hitting stores in April, the limited edition collection features an older, more urban take on the classic backpack and messenger bag than those from junior high, complete with graffiti graphics and anime-style characters. London-based designer Julie West and Joex2, a graffiti and digital artist in Los Angeles, are the first partners in the series, which will include four more collaborators through October. "As a youth growing up in Philly and going to school, I was always rocking a Jansport, from kindergarten to fourth grade," Joex2 said. "And I used to draw doodads and graffiti-esque type things on it and tag my name. And now it's come full circle." In helping get the party started, Ladybug Mecca from the Digable Planets will perform at the studio space, as well as J Boogie.
ON THE 'NET: Those checking out their fashion week schedules will find that Marc Bouwer's Monday show location gives the designers Web site, marcbouwer.com. That's because Bouwer has chosen to forego the traditional runway show this season, and instead will post his newest creations online. From noon on Monday, the site will feature a video and images of each look.
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: Putting in face time won't be an option for guests at this year's Young Fellows Ball, hosted annually by The Frick Collection. Per the fete's invitation, the dress code for the March 13 event is "Costume Opulento, Black Tie e Maschera" (translation: "Over-the-Top Masquerade"). And soiree vice chairman Ivanka Trump plans to comply: The Donald's daughter will don a custom-made diamond-encrusted mask codesigned by the evening's sponsors — Elie Saab and her own Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, of course. The design house and the jewelry brand also will team up to outfit co-chairs such as Aerin Lauder, Marina Rust and Lauren duPont. As is tradition, the ball is pegged to a specific work of art on display at the Museum. Parmigianino's "Antea," which is temporarily on loan from the Capodimonte in Naples, inspired this year's motif.
GALLERY GOING: Soon Karl Lagerfeld and Azzedine Alaïa won't have to travel to the outskirts of Paris to scoop up cutting-edge furniture and lighting from hip Galerie Kreo.
"We're moving to the center of Paris," said Kreo's founder, Didier Krzentowski, who represents Martin Szekely, Marc Newson and the Bourroulec brothers, among others.
Located in what was once Ruby's Nightclub at 31 Rue Dauphine in the Saint- Germain district, the new Galerie Kreo will join the ranks of the Rive Gauche galleries that have settled into the neighborhood. Kamel Mennour opened his sprawling space on nearby Rue Saint André des Arts last fall, for example.
Stretching out over 4,300 square feet, the new Galerie Kreo is expect to open its doors in October. "We're working on a fantastic opening," Krzentowski said at the dinner organized by the French interior design trade show Maison & Objet to honor Zaha Hadid as designer of the year.
"It is a great honor to be here," said Hadid, who flew in for the occasion and joined fashion designers, furniture makers and architects including Loulou de la Falaise and Jean Nouvel.
BLOW'S LEGACY: The late Isabella Blow was known as a champion of young designers — she was instrumental in boosting the careers of Alexander McQueen, Philip Treacy and Hussein Chalayan. Now a scholarship for a new generation of fashion figures has been launched in her name. The Isabella Blow Memorial Scholarship will annually provide a fashion student at Middlesex University in North London with financial support during his or her degree course.
The first recipient of the award — which is funded by Treacy and England's Ascot Racecourse — is Liesamarie Schulte-Kitzing, a 22-year-old fashion student. Schulte-Kitzing was chosen for the award by the fashion illustrator Richard Gray and Lee Lapthorne, the founder of On|Off, which stages off-schedule shows during London Fashion Week. "[Schulte-Kitzing's] work was very dynamic, but also very disciplined," said Lapthorne. "We felt we were selecting what Isabella would have wanted. She was very much in our minds."
ILLUSTRATED NEWS: It seems London has caught the art bug that's worked its way through the collections of labels from Miu Miu to Louis Vuitton to Jimmy Choo this spring. On Friday, Topshop launched a capsule collection of T-shirts by the British illustrator Kate Moross (not to be confused with Topshop's other high-profile collaborator, Kate Moss). The eight-piece line includes T-shirts and sweatshirts adorned with psychedelic prints of birds, diamonds and "Yellow Submarine"-style text. Prices range from 20 pounds, or about $39 at current exchange, for a tank top, through to 30 pounds, or $60, for a sweatshirt.
Moross, who has designed artwork for bands including Klaxons and Mystery Jets, as well as commercial illustrations for Sony, also has a collaboration with Nike in the pipeline.
Meanwhile, London ready-to-wear label PPQ has teamed up with London-based illustrator Hannah Bays, who has created PPQ T-shirts and tote bags printed with black-and-white illustrations of pin-up girls in stripy stockings. Bays has previously designed record sleeves for Pete Doherty's band, Babyshambles, and London band Dirty Pretty Things. The T-shirts and bags will be sold exclusively in PPQ's London store, on Conduit Street.

Matt LaBruzza needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 147 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
This is our second attempt to a logo. We launched a contest last year before the website was developed, and choose a winning design, but since we realized that it did not fit the personality of our company or for that matter it didn't give us a distinctive identity. After searching people icons for days we finally came up with our current logo by ourselves, but we lack the creative innovation and skill to generate a crisp trendy hip looking logo.
Now that we have our site developed, we're working on a revision and it's a good time to really hit the target with a great logo. In short we are a Las Vegas based display company that specializes in cool efficient booth designs for a great price.
Our customers are exhibitors. Our primary market is Las Vegas where we are located, but we work with companies from around the US destined for any city in the US. We compete on design and price and reputation, kinda like you.
Our website is our primary prospecting tool and sales tool...we really have just a few seconds to convince prospects that we have the experience, resources, creativity and price they need. Once we've established credibility, customers go thru a process of extracting needs and wants, likes and dislikes before we generate a rendering and quote. We provide booth design, booth graphics and trade show services to help our customer from start to finish of the shows they participate in.
You can reference our website http://www.exhibitpeople.com, and I've attached a mock up to show you how our homepage will be revised, which includes a logo idea we sort of like. I've also attached an image to show you ideas we liked when we were hunting for icons.
We struggled to find an icon that communicates who we are or what we do. Last time we tried to focus on people shaped icons but it proved hard for designers to generate great ideas. Most submissions were clip art people icons with a variety of fonts used for Exhibit People.
We like the logo concept in the mockup (using the rectangle blerb box) but we haven't come up with a cool idea the blerb box in particular. We played with the quotes " version, and with one people icons before deciding to let you professionals take it from here.
We will be picky about this logo, and will only award if we love the new logo. My guess is that the winning logo will be one that is a custom icon, by someone good at custom buttons and such. We don't think the winning design will be one that used existing clip art. The icon is the hardest part, but the icon and font must look crisp, cool and hip and professional. We're trying to appear like we're in touch with young entrepreneurs.
Thank you for your interest and your effort! Let me know if you have any questions.

One of the most highly anticipated releases of 1997, HeXen II was the first game from an outside developer to ship with Quake engine technology. The game featured four single player hubs and deathmatch capabilities for 16 players while simultaneously offering four character classes, each with four weapons with dual fire modes for a total of 32 unique weapon effects. In addition, HeXen II was the first 3-D shooter to feature transparent water effects in both hardware and software rendering modes and one of the only fully 3-D games to feature single player cooperative gameplay. Modified much like its original this game has stood the test of time and has quite a few nifty mods to show for it

Outrage over mob attack in Michigan
'Officers made choice to allow Muslims to silence Christian speakers'
A legal team that has gone to court in the past to protect Christians at Arab events in Dearborn, Mich., is returning to the fray, this time taking on the local sheriff's department over a decision by officers to threaten Christians with disorderly conduct while angry Muslims were heaving chunks of concrete, stones, bottles and debris at them.
It happened at the 2012 Arab International festival on Father's Day weekend, and a video of the attacks has gone viral on the Internet.
There, an angry mob of Arabs chanting "Allahu Akbar" is seen throwing concrete and eggs at the Christians who were holding signs about their faith.
Officials with the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, however, stood idly by during the attacks and then threatened the Christians with arrest if they did not leave, after a leader of the Christian group asked that officers enforce the law.
Now that Christian leader, Ruben Israel, has begun working with the American Freedom Law Center on a challenge to the police actions.
The AFLC reports that Israel "asked the law enforcement officers present to step in and enforce the criminal law so that the Christians could exercise their right to freedom of speech," but was "given the option of either leaving the festival or facing arrest."
WND reported earlier that a video reveals that the crowd – reminiscent of a rock-throwing "intifada" scene from the Middle East – hurled a dizzying barrage of objects at the Christians standing passively with their signs, causing some injuries.
WND later learned that the Christian crowd had been carrying a pole with a pig's head attached to the top, further angering the Muslim crowd. At the beginning of the video, Christian street preachers shout, "God is good, and God is not Allah!"
Police approached Israel, of OfficialStreetPreachers.com, warning him, "The city of Dearborn has an ordinance, OK, that you guys can't use the megaphone. So, if you guys continue to use that, you will get a citation."
Israel noted that the group was allowed to use the megaphone in 2011. Then he asked the officer, "So, if we don't use a megaphone, can we throw water bottles at the crowd?"
The officer shook his head no.
"So what are you going to do if they throw water bottles at us?" Israel asked.
"If that happens, we will take care of that and address it," the officer promised.
When Israel said he had captured the mob's assault on the Christians on video, the officer suggested he "take it through the proper channels, and we'll try to find them."
However, at the 2:17 mark of the video, the mob can be heard screaming, "You want to jump 'em? C'mon, let's go!"
One boy yells, "Let's beat the sh-t out of them!"
A girl shouts, "Go home! Do you understand English?!"
The Christians are no longer using megaphones, as the mob advances on them from all angles – hurling bottles, cans, eggs, chunks of concrete and even milk crates toward their heads.
Even young children shout obscenities such as, "F—k you, b-tch!"
Meanwhile, police are nowhere to be seen in the video: (Editor's note: The following 22-minute video contains profane statements shouted by an angry mob and may be offensive to viewers.)
Despite the attacks the Christians endured, a man identified in the video as Deputy Chief Dennis Richardson of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office tells them, "You're a danger to the safety right now."
Officers claim they don't have the manpower to protect the Christians at the festival.
"Your safety is in harm's way. You need to protect everybody," said Deputy Chief Mike Jaafar of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office. "You do have the option to leave. I just want to make that clear."
Israel replied, "You have the option to stand with us" as Jaafar walked away, leaving the Christians to the mob.
When police leave, the crowd continues harassing the Christians and screaming profanities.
Then police begin escorting the Christians away from the crowd.
Deputy Chief Richardson tells Israel, "We have the responsibility of policing the entire festival, and obviously your conduct is such that it's causing a disturbance and is a direct threat to the safety of everyone here. Someone could get hurt. You already have blood on your face. One of the festival people, one of my officers, anybody can get hurt. Now we're going to escort you out."
Robert Muise, senior counsel for the AFLC, said, "Whether you agree to disagree with the Christians' message, there is one issue to which there is no dispute: no citizen should be stoned in a city street in America for exercising his constitutional right to freedom of speech. And what makes this case so egregious is that law enforcement officers were present and made the conscious choice to allow the Muslim mob to silence the Christian speakers through violence. Indeed, the video of the incident looks like something you would see in the Middle East, not in the United States."
David Yerushalmi, an expert on Muslim law and a co-founder with Muise of the SFLC, said, "While it is shocking to see video of Christians being stoned in the United States for criticizing Islam, it is not necessarily surprising that this incident occurred in Dearborn, Mich., a city where the mayor and law enforcement have consistently violated Christians' free speech rights in favor of appeasing a large Muslim population and where, in line with the Islamic legal dictates of Shariah, the Christian Gospel is treated as criminally offensive speech, and violence 'for the sake of Allah' is reinforced by arresting or removing the Christians. What you are witnessing on the video is the enforcement of Shariah by a hostile mob and law enforcement aiding and abetting," he said.
Following an attack on Christian pastor George Saieg at the festival in 2009, when he was prohibited from distributing information about Christianity, a lawsuit was filed and at its conclusion, a court awarded Saieg more than $100,000.
Then in 2010, four Christian missionaries were cuffed and jailed for peacefully preaching to Muslims. The city accused the Christians of "breach of the peace."
After they were found innocent, a civil rights complaint was filed again the city and its officials and a judge recently rejected a request by the defendants to dismiss the complaint.
In 2011, a controversial Christian pastor proposed a peaceful demonstration against Shariah and the city and county hauled him into court, demanded a "peace bond" and jailed him until it was paid.
In that case, the AFLC said, "The prosecutor argued that because Muslim counter-protestors threatened violence if the Christians were allowed to hold their protest, the imposition of a 'peace bond' to prevent the demonstration was justified. A local state court judge agreed. Following a two-day trial, the court imposed a 'peace bond,' issued an order preventing the Christians from going near the mosque for three years, and jailed them until they paid the bond."
Yerushalmi said the actions of authorities are not new; they have been seen before in locations where Islam demands those of other faiths have a lower standard of rights.
"The city of Dearborn and now the Wayne County Sheriff's Office appear to be serial violators of the Constitution when it comes to defending the free speech rights of Christians who seek to evangelize Muslims or criticize Islam. Under Shariah, this is known as dhimmitude, which is the status that Islamic law mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians, that deprives them of equality of rights and seeks to subdue them under Islamic rule," he said.
Muise said in America, speech serves "its 'high purposes' when it stirs people to anger."
"Speech is often provocative and challenging, and it may have profound unsettling effects as it presses for acceptance of an idea. That is why freedom of speech is protected against censorship or punishment. There is no room under our Constitution for a more restrictive view. Additionally, the courts have made clear that a police officer has the duty not to effectuate a heckler's veto, nor may he join a violent mob intent on suppressing speech. Instead, the officer must take reasonable action to protect persons exercising their free speech rights," he said. "The Wayne County Sheriff's Office egregiously breached its duty in violation of the U.S. Constitution."
The center confirmed a legal action is being prepared.

It's no secret that parking can be a challenge at UVU. What does seem to be a secret to many is that it doesn't have to be. It just takes planning. What follows are tips and best practices for bringing a vehicle on campus. Before you get too deep into the list, here are a few online resources Parking Services provides:
The Sorensen Center Visitor Lot is closed permanently, so visitors have two options as alternates to the old SC visitor pay lot: First, they may stop by the main parking office in the Facilities Complex at 936 S. 400 W. (across the street from Lakeridge Junior High) and obtain a free visitor day permit that allows them to park in any student or employee zone on campus.
Second, they may also come to the Lakeside Visitor's Lot (See Map A Below), which is an hourly pay lot. This is the lot just south of the Woodbury School of Business, right off the main roundabout. Here, visitors will be able to park as they need and simply pay the $2 per hour rate. If that lot happens to be full, check in with the parking booth attendant and they will be able to assist you in getting a visitor permit and get you parked as quickly and conveniently as possible. Read more about our visitor parking procedure on the Visitor Parking Page.

Although I had hoped the election of 2010 would have greatly diminished the good ole boy network in local government, it has not. Carmin Gaines said it very well, the election simply changed the players.
Judge-Executive Bill Karrer and the magistrates have come against County Clerk Judy Puckett and former EDA director Annette King, citing the rule of law and accountability to the taxpayers. However, the Ethics Commission and Deputy Damon Jewell have gotten a free pass.
To this year's Spencer County community participants, the Spencer County Family Resource and Youth Service Center would like to thank everyone who made the Health Fair/Readifest event so successful on Saturday, Aug. 6, at Spencer County High School.
Our sponsors for this year were: Spencer County Cooperative Extension Office, Publishers Printing, Jewish Hospital of Shelbyville, Spencer County Health Department, and Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency.
In the late afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, the most crowded skies of the world became silent. There were no high streaks of contrails mixing with clouds. The ever present life-saving chatter of air traffic controllers ceased. A kind of strange eerie void had restored the heavens to its pristine past. Nothing man-made moved in the skies above the United States.
Nothing, except a single small airplane lifting in the late afternoon from Bowman Field en route to the New York area with rare and precious medical supplies.
To Habitat for Humanity of Spencer County and members of my community – I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate everything you have done for my family. You have given my family something that I thought would never be possible – a home.
All of your hard work, dedication, sacrifice and care will never be forgotten. You have given my family hope of a better tomorrow.
I want to thank all the board members for working feverishly to pull all of this together and supporting me through this whole process.
In spite of the abnormal weather and the busy summer schedules, our non-profit groups have done a really good job on our Summer Roadside Litter Abatement Program.
Our citizens need to be proud of the way our county's roads look, and be thankful for the energetic people that are willing to take the time to help make our county more attractive.
We all feel the pinch of the weak economy, and need to remember how beneficial it can be to recycle any renewable, reusable waste, rather than tossing it.
After a long summer, my husband and I felt we needed a small getaway. We left on July 20 and returned on July 21 – two of the hottest days we have had this summer.
The first day was enjoyable. The second day was something else.
When we entered the last shop of the day, there were six chairs with straight backs sitting in front of the shop outside in the scorching heat.
My husband has an illness that affects his walking and has pain in his back. He walks with a cane and sometimes with a walker with wheels.
To the people of Taylorsville, we, the family of Marsha Dennison, wish to thank you for being there for her, especially those who were there at her unfortunate accident on Feb. 3, 2010.
The Alexander and Gross families
Plymouth, Ind.
In 2010, 19,500 abused and neglected kids in Kentucky needed child protective services – that's over 50 children every day for an entire year.
Would you recognize that child if you saw them riding a bike or playing on the playground or waiting at a bus stop? You probably couldn't, since this crime cuts across all social, economic and ethnic boundaries.
How can anyone regard Social Security as a benevolent entitlement? Social Security is an insurance policy whose premiums have been paid for by the combined lifetime payments of the employee and employer.
Although the government administers the program for us, it makes no donations to our premiums. It is a fact that the Social Security program more than pays for itself and has always had a large surplus, which, unfortunately, has been used by Congress for the general fund and not for the Social Security Program. Our premiums have been misspent.
What a wonderful thank you to the economic director, Annette King, in the July 6 edition. In last week's edition, a letter of support, depicting a very busy, very caring economic director that truly is going to be missed.
As Annette's parents, it's our turn to thank the business owners and EDA supporters. You made such a gallant effort to save the EDA after both local government agencies pulled funding. Unfortunately, you could not sway those forces in power.

On the one truly sunny day last week the outcome of a league soccer match was just as cheery for Mount St. Joseph Academy. A burst of offense put the Magic up 2-0 19 minutes into Monday's game and then carried visiting MSJ on to its first victory of the season, a 4-1 decision over host Nazareth Academy.
Rain at the end of August had washed out several scheduled scrimmages for the Mount (1-4) just as new head coach Catherine Kulp was settling in with the Magic. Launching right into the game schedule, they tied Upper Perkiomen but then suffered losses to Catholic Academies opponents Gwynedd Mercy and Villa Joseph Marie, as well as enduring non-league setbacks against Germantown Academy and Council Rock North.
"We've just been trying to take it one game at a time," said senior forward Ashley DePaul, a graduate of Norwood Fontbonne Academy and a 2011 tri-captain for Mount St. Joe's along with classmates Brittany McDermott and Kelly Moran.
In the Nazareth game, she said, "We wanted to attack, attack, attack, because we hadn't scored more than one goal per game before today. We wanted to score early and then not let up."
The Mount looked aggressive and confident from the outset, taking a lead it would never lose when junior Lisa Roman assisted a goal by freshman Devon Conway nine minutes into the action. About 10 minutes later an unassisted strike by Moran gave the Magic a 2-0 lead that held up until halftime.
The Magic's offense-oriented play also served to take pressure off of former JV goalie Meghan Keown (three saves), who was making her second start after senior keeper Becca McCool sprained her left ankle in a collision during the Villa Joe contest.
One of the Mount's most seasoned players, Alexa Carboni, was a steady presence at back against Nazareth, and fellow seniors Bridget Higgins and Jules Kitka helped the Magic move the ball down the wings.
The host Pandas would also wind up with an understudy in the goal cage. Starter Gina Pallanta retired with four saves after hurting a hamstring, and was replaced by Ashley Hunter (one save).
Just six minutes into the second half, the count rose to 3-0 when DePaul deposited a strong shot from the left side of the box.
"We've worked on our finishing," she said. "We've been practicing our corners, and we're also trying to take the ball down near the corner and then cross it towards the goal. Today we did a lot of things we worked on in practice, and I think this win should improve our morale."
Five minutes after DePaul's goal, Nazareth almost broke the shutout when a slow-rolling ball got behind Keown, but it wandered wide of the left post. When the Mount came back down the field, a long ball fired by Roman gonged off the crossbar and Moran nearly scored on a follow-up shot.
The Magic notched their fourth goal in the middle of the period, when freshman Maryanna Solecki took a few dribbles through the middle of the box and let loose a shot. Nazareth finally got on the board with around a dozen minutes left to play, as Nikki Pyle drew out Keown and then put a shot past her.

CAROL STREAM – For a Glenbard North baseball team that lost all but one player from its 2013 starting line-up, this summer held a little extra importance.
Plenty of new faces got their opportunity to impress coach Rich Smelko and his staff during a six-week stretch that saw the Panthers finish with an 11-9-3 record after Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Lake Park in the second round of the summer playoffs.
"We had a pretty decent summer," Smelko said. "Defensively we were pretty solid and our pitching was solid. There are just some adjustments we need to make at the plate."
As was the case this past spring, the strength of the 2014 squad should lie with the pitching staff, which is the one area that has experience. That group is headlined by Matt Albin, who worked five scoreless innings against Lake Park, and also includes returners Kyle Crites and Luke Greenberg. Chris Ruiz, Eric Orze and Nick Barrett, the later being an incoming sophomore, should also receive opportunities.
"With Albin and a couple of the other guys on the mound, we should have a pretty good staff," the coach said. "And I think we've made some big strides defensively."
What could ultimately decide how much success Glenbard North has next spring is the offense, as pushing across runs proved to be an issue in the summer.
"We weren't able to scratch enough runs (in the summer)," Smelko said. "I think it's a little bit of everything, a lot of these guys are jumping up a level, there are fundamental things we need to work on and there are strength issues."
One newcomer who did impress is Barrett, who batted third in the Panthers' order and also plays shortstop in addition to pitching.
Now, with the summer campaign brought to a close, the focus shifts to the upcoming offseason as plenty of jobs are still up for grabs.
"We were able to see who we think will compete for an everyday job in the spring," Smelko added. "We had some questions answered but there are some spots still up on the board.
"We will do some things in the fall and winter in terms of hitting and lifting and get ready for March."

Mr. Shakin: "47 minutes. See, it happened while I was on the phone with my Mom. I'd just dialed her up, then I blacked out. When I came to the phone showed the call was still going on, and it was at 47 minutes. Mom was still on the other end, and driving over to my place."
Dr. Grumpy: "So then what..."
Mr. Shakin: "So, can you write a note for me? Because I only get 500 minutes a month, and want a letter for my cell phone company so they'll credit me for the 47 minutes I was out, because it wasn't my fault."
