It was rookie day on the river last Sunday, as ninth-graders and older first-year rowers raced in the annual event formally known as the Dr. Robert White Regatta for Freshmen and Novices.
The only two categories not just for newbies involved Girls Inter-Ac League crews, who joust annually in eights and quads. These Inter-Ac competitions bookended the race schedule.
Not surprisingly, the schools that regularly race eights, Episcopal and Agnes Irwin, finished first and second, with Baldwin third. Germantown Academy had signed on initially but then dropped out before the race, and in the battle for fourth place Penn Charter (stroke to bow: Alix Azizi, Maria Georgiou, Heidi Zisselman, Dylan Smith, Katie O'Malley, Sami Kapnek, Tara Malone, Tess Reinhold. Coxswain: Jonah Krall) won out over Springside (Becca Chasar, Emily Eisler, Mozelle Rosenthal, Chelsea Richardson, Victoria Iannarone, Katie Blake, Rose Donahue, Allie Schreffler. Coxswain: Sofia Soto Reyes) by nearly five seconds.
In the last race of the day Springside's varsity quad (Verity Walsh, Taylor Apostolico Jen Sager, Anna Valciukas), in an outside lane, was very close behind Episcopal at the tip of Peter's Island and appeared to be gaining. The Lions quartet caught a crab at that point, and even though it wasn't a major disturbance, it put an end to their overtaking maneuver and they finished second in five minutes, 17.32 seconds, about four seconds behind the Churchwomen.
Penn Charter (Azizi, Georgiou, Zisselman, Jenna Maurer) placed fifth in the race, ahead of Agnes Irwin.
Another, more serious crab, had occurred in Springside's Friday practice and had opened up a vacancy in the novice quad. The Lions withdrew from the freshman double event and moved Maddie Canning into the bow seat in the quad, where she joined Amanda Price, Sanna Johnson, and Mariel Soto- Reyes. They finished second to Conestoga High School in both their heat race and in the finals later in the day.
Third in the same heat and fifth in the final race was a Penn Charter novice quad containing Hannah Kramer, Liza Gendler, Julia Mammone, and Isa Djerassi. In the only boys' event entered by the Quakers, Erich Riedlmeier and Stanton Young came in fourth in the novice double.
CHA's freshman double has been successful all season long, and the duo of Peter Anthony (stroke) and James Meadows remained on a roll last weekend. Unchallenged winners in their event, their time of 5:34.95 put them almost 14 seconds ahead of the runner-up tandem from Roman Catholic.
The Blue Devils split up their other novices (three freshmen and sophomore Dylan Brush) and made four entries in the novice gig/single category. Will Elliott raced against strangers in the first heat of the event, finishing fourth, while the other three Devils made up the entire field in a second heat. In the finals, Roman Catholic won in 6:28.19 and CHA's Jaime MacEachern was second in 6:30.62, while Brush placed fifth.
Mount St. Joseph entered a freshman eight and had two other boats in the novice eight event. The freshmen (Michela Karrash, Jocelyn Ziemniak, Maddie Lawn, Lauren Matchett, Natalie Simms, Elizabeth McKernan, Sarah Curcio, Leah Ramos. Coxswain: Madi Kist) advanced by winning one of the two heats. There were three heats for the novices and only the top two boats made it to the finals. The Magic's novice "A" boat came in third in a fast heat, while the "B" boat survived as the runner up in another section.
With its relatively slow time in the heats consigning it to the slow-moving lane six in the final, Mount "B" (Caroline Carbone, Nadine Ghantous, Jennifer Lawlor, Marissa Mulligan, Katie Gresko, Christina Vosbikian, Lauren Woodrow, Ellie McGlynn. Coxswain: Megan Mirabella) brought up the rear in the novices' final.
In the freshman eight final, Holy Spirit won convincingly in 5:15.05, while Mount St. Joe challenged for third for a time and ended up fourth, with a time of 5:35.91.

Cataract - What is the standard type of lens used in surgery?
If you would like to consult with our Eye Physicians & Surgeons at Eye Associates of Southern California, then please contact us.
An intraocular lens (IOL) is a tiny, lightweight, clear plastic or silicone disc placed in the eye during cataract surgery. An IOL replaces the focusing power of the eye's natural lens.
Your eye's natural lens plays an important role in focusing images on the retina. When a cataract develops, the lens loses its clarity. Light rays cannot focus clearly, and the image you see is blurry. Eyeglasses or contact lenses usually can correct slight refractive errors caused by early cataracts, but they cannot sharpen your vision if an advanced cataract is present.
The only treatment for a severe cataract is to remove the eye's natural lens and replace it with an IOL. Intraocular lenses offer many advantages. Unlike contact lenses, which must be removed, cleaned, and reinserted, the IOL remains in the eye after surgery.
An IOL may be implanted either in front of or behind the iris. Behind the iris is the most frequent placement site. IOLs can be made of hard plastic, soft plastic, or soft silicone. Soft, foldable lenses can be inserted through a small incision, which shortens recovery time following surgery.
The rapid evolution of IOL designs, materials, and implant techniques has made them a safe and practical way to restore normal vision after cataract surgery.

Twin Cities area home prices showed not one but two signs of stability in February, as prices rose when compared with the previous month as well as February 2009. The median sale price for homes in the 13-county metro area climbed 6 percent -- from $150,000 in February 2009 to $159,000 in February 2010. The median price in January was $157,000.
Still, the median price is one-third below the June 2006 peak.
A deeper dive into the data shows median sale prices rising and falling across the metro. In Hennepin County, prices were up 8.7 percent in February -- from $150,000 in 2009 to $163,000 in 2010. While the median price in Ramsey County is lower, year-over-year prices in February spiked 18.9 percent -- from $115,250 to $137,000. Median sales prices dropped in Anoka and Washington counties in February; they rose in Carver, Dakota and Scott counties.
Activity was up in February, especially in the lower end of the market, as buyers hit open houses in the hopes of finding their dream home before the April 30 deadline for the home buyer tax credits.
Closed sales rose 4.2 percent compared with a year ago and are up almost 2 percent year-to-date. Pending sales increased by 6.4 percent from February 2009 to February 2010, and are also up 2 percent this year.
Sellers hoping to cash-in on the $6,500 tax credit for repeat buyers added more inventory to a market that's been struggling for years now to rid itself of oversupply. New listings were up 7.8 percent in February.
Currently, there are six homes on the market for every buyer. But as mortgage banker Alex Stenback points out on his blog Behind the Mortgage (www.behindthemortgage .com), excess inventory is concentrated in higher-priced properties as well as in condos and town homes.
Housing continues to be a tale of two markets. Foreclosures are selling like hotcakes, while traditional home sales and short sales tend to sit longer.
The fact that fewer foreclosures are for sale is "tilting prices upward and stabilizing the market," Brad Fisher, president of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors, said in a news release. There were 751 foreclosure sales closed in February -- a 36.5 percent drop from the 1,182 sold in February 2009. Pending sales as well as listings were also down by about a third during the same period.
Much of the activity on the market is concentrated in the under-$200,000 price range, since house hunters hoping to snatch that first-time home buyer tax credit before its expiration date tend to be younger and have less money.
Tom Hamilton, a professor of real estate at the University of St. Thomas, argues that the tax incentives are keeping median sales prices artificially low. "If it wasn't for the tax credit, maybe they would have waited six months, a year, two years, but we've accelerated all of those sales to the current period. So we get a higher quantity of low-priced sales that are taking place now, deflating the median," he explains. Fast-forward to a few months from now, and Hamilton predicts homeowners will be pleasantly surprised by even higher median prices resulting from fewer lower-priced homes being sold.
Fear of more foreclosures
Some economists are bracing for a second wave of foreclosures, however, as borrowers with adjustable rate mortgages face higher resets or a job loss finally takes its toll on the family finances. More foreclosures on the market would push median prices down again.
Data released Thursday by RealtyTrac supports the notion that the foreclosure crisis isn't a thing of the past. In February, Minnesota foreclosure activity -- defined as households that received a foreclosure-related filing such as a default notice or a scheduled sheriff's sale -- was up 16.8 percent compared with February 2009 and up 6.9 percent from January 2010.
The key to a housing recovery is jobs, and a report on the Twin Cities-area economy released earlier this week by Moody's Economy.com concludes that the area is better positioned than most for an economy recovery. "Employment has stabilized and will resume growth in this quarter at a rate of about 5,000 jobs per quarter in 2010 .... The presence of employers in industries such as health care and education that are well-placed to lead the recovery will drive hiring," the report said.

There is a correlation between infidelity and the size of a male's testicles, researchers have found.
A study by scientists at the University of Oslo found that primates with bigger testicles were more likely to be unfaithful.
Petter Bøckman, Assistant Professor, said: "We can determine the degree of fidelity in the female by looking at the size of the male's testicles. The less faithful the female, the larger the male's testicles.
"If the male will only fertilise one female and has no competitors, he only needs sufficient sperm to reach the egg. If the female mates on the side, it is smart to have as many cars as possible in the race.
"Then, the male must have testicles that are as large as possible."
Prof Bøckman said bonobos have particularly large testicles and mate in large groups whereas gorillas have small testicles.
He said: "There is an abundant flow of semen. Those who leave the greatest amount of sperm have the largest chance of fathering offspring.
"In gorilla troops there is only one male. Even though the gorilla has a small harem, he has no need for large testicles – his balls are tiny."
Large testicles can increase the risk of testicular cancer, the study found.
"Animals with short lifespans may have enormously large testicles. In one type of grasshopper the testicles occupy half their body mass," said Prof Bøckman
"The testicles are even larger in sea urchins. They spawn directly into the ocean. To increase the chance of fertilising an egg, the sea urchin is a huge testicle with a little shell around it."
The testicles of humans are one and a half times larger than those of gorillas.
Prof Bøckman said: "This testifies with abundant clarity to life in our flock. We can pledge our fidelity until we are blue in the face, but this is evidence that our females are cheating.
"We are not like chimpanzees, where the female has four or five sexual partners every time she is in heat, but there is always a certain likelihood that the neighbouring male has dropped by."
The testicles are also large in animals that have sex with many females.
Prof Bøckman said: "Male lions have huge balls. All the females in the pride must have sex at the same time. When the female lions in the pride are in heat, he must mate with all the females every half-hour for three days."

"At the moment, we are yet to establish who is involved in the killing and police are currently conducting investigations and we will provide information as it comes," he said.
Rwanda's Media High Council suspended Umuvugizi's right to publish in April. Soon after Umuvugizi moved online, its Web site became inaccessible to domestic visitors. Censorship of the publication, one of the few critical voices in the country, has come in the run-up to the August presidential election.
Rugambage had reported to friends and colleagues that he was being followed and had received phone threats, local journalists told CPJ. Jean-Bosco Gasasira, the exiled editor of Umuvugizi, told the U.S. government-funded Voice of America that he believed the killing was reprisal for a recent story alleging government involvement in the shooting of a former Rwandan army commander in South Africa.
"The brutal murder of Jean-Léonard Rugambage deals a savage blow to Rwanda's already beleaguered independent media," said Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. "It comes amid a government crackdown on critical reporting ahead of the August presidential election, and raises serious questions about the safety of independent journalists in the country. The authorities must ensure that all those behind this murder, including the masterminds, are brought to justice swiftly."
As the last Umuvugizi journalist remaining in Rwanda, Rugambage represented the newspaper in hearings in several court cases the newspaper is facing over its critical coverage of government affairs, according to local journalists.
Before joining Umuvugizi, Rugambage was a reporter for the now-defunct independent tabloid Umuco. He experienced 11 months of imprisonment after producing a story alleging mismanagement and witness tampering in Rwanda's traditional courts for suspects of the 1994 genocide. Rugambage, 34, is survived by a wife and a two-year-old daughter, according to local journalists.

Growing up around Madonna Inn, there are a few smells and tastes that bring me back to my childhood years in an instant. Be it an ooey-gooey grilled cheese, a tall mug of creamy hot coco with a dollop of whipped cream, or even a swipe of butter-cream frosting... I am at once transported of the beautiful sensory simplicity that was my adolescence. And while I will always have a special place in my heart (and stomach) for these treats, there is no indulgence with more sentimental prestige than a chocolate chip cookie.
Classic, compact, and ever-so portable, the almighty chocolate chip cookie is a college student's saving grace. I can't even recall how many lectures I wouldn't have made it through if not for the affirmation that warm, buttery, chocolaty goodness was in my very near future. After a long and arduous day at campus, nothing quite compares to a soft cookie straight from the (microwave) oven. The aroma alone is one of the best anti-anxiety remedies I have come to find; but with one bite I feel as if I'm getting a hug from mama, even if I'm merely being hugged by my computer chair at the school library.
Life itself is the proverbial chocolate chip cookie: sometimes a little hard, sometimes a little crumbly, and sometimes even a little nutty! But regardless of all the flaws in even the worst batch of cookies there is always, ALWAYS a lingering sweetness that is not to be overlooked. A velvety chocolate chip melts in my mouth as I write this very post, and I can't help but smile thinking about all the days that a simple cookie has gotten me by.
Last week was finals for Cal Poly students, and I definitely found myself seeking out some edible therapy—as I'm sure many other bookworms did. Through all the stress, chaos, and long nights illuminated by a glowing laptop, I remind myself that life is sweeter when I just take it "one cookie at a time."

The Route of Via Romea Germanica
The Via Romea Pilgrimage Route, or Via Romea Germanica, is a long route that goes through three European States: Germany, Austria and Italy. It is an ancient route, crossing the very heart of the continent.
The first documents about this route date back to 13th century, to the transcript of a fictional dialogue between two monks, describing this itinerary as the best one to get to the Vatican from central Europe.
We find along the Via Romea some of the most important landmarks of cha Christian art and History, such as the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua, or the works of art from the Byzantine times in Ravenna.
Along more than 2.200 kilometres of the route you can also admire beautiful landscapes, from the Alps to the Po Valley, from the Apennines to the Italian lakes.
Even though the via Romea is not as famous as the Via Francigena, every day thousands of travellers walk for a part or the entire route to Rome. In the last years the Via Romea Germanica has become one of the key roads for pilgrims, hikers and runners.
Some details and numbers about this Route:
- Covers a 2.200km length
- Crosses 3 States (Germany, Austria, Italy)
- Goes through 94 stops (44 in Germany, 4 in Austria, 46 in Italy)
- It touches its highest point on the Brenner Pass with 1.370 m
- It is marked by orange arrows on white background and by metal plates with the symbol of the association and "VIA FRANCIGENA" marked on them.
Travelling on the Via Romea Germanica, following the same steps as thousands of pilgrims in the past ages, is an unforgettable experience: it means diving into Christian history, Culture and Nature in three of the most important Nations of Europe.
You can travel on the Romea Pilgrimage Route in many ways (on foot, by bike, by horse…), but either way this travel will reward you with breath-taking landscapes and great spirituality moments.

The waters of the rivers Po and Adige almost embrace each other while the surreal atmosphere of the nearby Delta creates a quiet but classic character. This is Rovigo, the smallest province in Veneto at the heart of the Padana plateau.
The ancient Rhodigium, now Rovigo, was created as a bishop's estate, and its urban structure pays testament to its ancient high-medieval history. The civil and religious palaces meet in the centre of the town recalling the mark of the Most Serene Republic that ruled here from 15th to 18th century.
Among the civil buildings, there is the beautiful Palazzo Roncale, dating back to the 1500s, and the Palazzo dell'Accademia dei Concordi, containing two important picture galleries.
One of the most beautiful palaces in Rovigo is, without a doubt, Palazzo Vanezze. Built in 1715 by the polesano Agostino Ghiotti, there are typical ornamental Baroque patterns.
From medieval Rovigo, there are only the surviving remains of the castle walls (dated to around the 10th century) and two towers: the Torre Donà, one of the well-known symbols of the city, and the Torre Mozza.
The Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine del Soccorso, better known as la Rotonda, is a precious work by Zamberlano, while the bell tower was built on the design by Longhena. The Cathedral, after a long series of restoration works, now maintains its Baroque look, as a result of a makeover according to the plans of Frigimelica in 1696.
The monastery of S. Bartolomeo is located in one of the most charming corners of Rovigo. It is the home of the Civic Museum of Civilization in Polesine, which includes an abundance of archeological, natural, and ethnography documents. A fundamental source for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the polesano environment from its origins.

Single row deep groove ball bearings
Single row deep groove ball bearings are available capped (with seals or shields) or open. Open bearings that are also available capped may have recesses in the ring side faces (fig. 1).
SKF inch bearings in the EE(B), RLS and RMS series are intended as aftermarket items and, therefore, SKF recommends not using these bearings for new bearing arrangement designs.
SKF can also supply bearings with a tapered bore. For detailed information, contact SKF.
Selection guidelines for different capping devices under various operating conditions are listed in table 1. However, these guidelines cannot substitute for testing a shield or seal in its application. For additional information, refer to Integral sealing.
The seals, which are fitted in a recess on the outer ring, make good, positive contact with the recess, without deforming the outer ring. The capping devices are available as:
Shields (designation suffix Z)
- are primarily intended for applications where the inner ring rotates
- are fitted in the outer ring and form a narrow gap with the inner ring
- are made of sheet steel
- are available as standard with an extension in the shield bore (fig. 2), expect some sizes without extension
- protect from dirt and debris without friction losses
Non-contact seals (designation suffix RZ, fig. 3)
- provide better sealing effectiveness than shields
- can be operated at the same speeds as shields
- form an extremely narrow gap with the inner ring shoulder
- are made of sheet steel reinforced NBR (oil- and wear-resistant)
Low-friction seals (designation suffixes RSL or RST)
- provide better sealing effectiveness than non-contact seals
- are made of sheet steel reinforced NBR (oil and wear-resistant)
- can be operated at the same speeds as shields
- make virtually no contact with a recess in the inner ring shoulder
are available for 60, 62, 63 series bearings in two designs, depending on the size
- make positive contact with a recess in the inner ring shoulder for good sealing effectiveness
- are available on request for 60, 62 and 63 series bearings in three RST designs, depending on the size
Contact seals (designation suffixes RSH, RSH2, RS1 or RS2)
are made of sheet steel reinforced
- FKM (designation suffix RS2 or RSH2, available on request)
- are available in different designs depending on the bearing they are used with:
Seals made of FKM (fluoro rubber) exposed to an open flame or temperatures above 300 °C (570 °F) are a health and environmental hazard! They remain dangerous even after they have cooled.
Read and follow the safety precautions under this WARNING.
ICOS oil sealed bearing units
- are typically used for applications with sealing requirements exceeding the capabilities of standard sealing solutions, i.e. oil retention
have the following features compared to bearings with external sealing solutions:
- need less axial space
- simplify mounting
- avoid expensive machining of the shaft because the inner ring shoulder is the seal counterface
consist of a 62 series deep groove ball bearing and an SKF WAVE seal (fig. 8):
single lip, spring loaded radial shaft seal
- made of NBR
- single lip, spring loaded radial shaft seal
- have limiting speeds quoted in the product table that are based on the permissible circumferential speed for the seal (14 m/s)
- standard deep groove ball bearings → table 2
inch deep groove ball bearings
D < 63.5 mm → MT47
D ≥ 63.5 mm → MT33
- D < 63.5 mm → MT47
- high temperature grease GJN
- wide temperature range grease HT or WT
wide temperature range and low-noise grease LHT23
- low temperature grease LT
The technical specifications of the various greases are listed in table 3.
The standard grease is not identified in the bearing designation (no designation suffix). Special greases are indicated by the corresponding grease suffix. Check availability of bearings with special grease prior to ordering.
Grease life for capped bearings
- is presented as L10, i.e. the time period at the end of which 90% of the bearings are still reliably lubricated (diagram 1)
depends on:
- the operating temperature
- the n dm factor
- grease performance factor (GPF) (table 3)
- horizontal shaft
- inner ring rotation
- light load (P ≤ 0,05 C)
- operating temperature within the green temperature zone of the grease (table 3)
- stationary machine
low vibration levels
Where the operating conditions differ as described below, the grease life obtained from the diagrams should be adjusted:
- vertical shafts → 50% of the obtained value
- heavier loads (P > 0,05 C) → apply reduction factor (table 4)
can simplify the design of an arrangement
- by locating the bearing axially in the housing by a snap ring (fig. 9)
- by saving space
- by significantly reducing mounting time.
Appropriate snap rings are shown in the product table, along with their designation and dimensions.
The following variants are available (fig. 10):
- open bearings with a snap ring groove only (designation suffix N)
- open bearings with a snap ring (designation suffix NR)
- bearings with a snap ring and a shield on the opposite side (designation suffix ZNR)
- bearings with a snap ring and a shield on the same side (designation suffix ZNBR)
- bearings with a snap ring and a shield on both sides (designation suffix 2ZNR)
- are designed to comply with stringent noise requirements
- are typically used in wind turbine generators
- provide consistent performance over a variety of operating conditions
are identified by the designation suffix VQ658
(→ SKF Quiet running deep groove ball bearings)
SKF single row deep groove ball bearings are fitted with one of the cages shown in table 5. The standard stamped steel cage is not identified in the bearing designation. If non-standard cages are required, check availability prior to ordering.
When used at high temperatures, some lubricants can have a detrimental effect on polyamide cages. For additional information about the suitability of cages, refer to Cages.
- are used where the load carrying capacity of a single bearing is inadequate
- are used where the shaft has to be located axially in both directions with a specific axial clearance
- where mounted immediately adjacent to each other, distribute the load between the bearings without having to use shims or similar devices
A 'V-shaped' marking on the outside surface of the outer rings of matched bearings (fig. 11) indicates how the pair should be mounted. The bearing pairs are supplied as a packaged unit.
Matched pairs can be supplied in three different arrangements (fig. 12):
Tandem arrangement (designation suffix DT)
- is used where the load carrying capacity of a single bearing is inadequate
- has parallel load lines and therefore shares the radial and axial loads equally
- can accommodate axial loads in both directions
Back-to-back arrangement (designation suffix DB)
- has load lines that diverge towards the bearing axis
- provides a relatively stiff bearing arrangement
can accommodate tilting moments

Face-to-face arrangement (designation suffix DF)
- has load lines that converge towards the bearing axis
- is less sensitive to misalignment but not as stiff as a back-to-back arrangement

You couldn't throw a rock the last month or so without hitting a member of the Ravens raving about linebacker Ray Lewis' leadership qualities.
As a result, Lewis didn't need to do much to cement his reputation in that regard this weekend. His teammates say that he went ahead and did so anyway on Saturday night, however.
Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports spoke to several members of the team who said that Lewis' speech on Saturday night moved players to tears as he told them that they would succeed in the Super Bowl because of how much the players on the team loved one another. Lewis said that people win championships "based off love" and his words resonated with the rest of the team.
"I mean, we were ready to die for each other out there. And I know that's a bit dramatic, but that's the way this team is. That's what Ray has talked about. The reason we've succeeded is because of the way we feel about each other. It's something Ray Lewis has told us since Day One. 'What would you do for the man next to you?' For us, the answer is, 'Anything,'" linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo said. "Love put us over the top. You wouldn't think it, because football is a game known for machismo and violence and toughness, but love is what drove our success. Just like the most epic action movies end up being love stories – The Matrix, Star Wars, Gladiator. This Ravens team is a love story."
As Ayanbadejo said, it isn't something you associate with football but it certainly resonated with the Ravens on Sunday. Filling Lewis' spot on the field seems like it might be easier than filling his role as team leader and inspiration when they get back together to defend their title.

Denver's marijuana initiative: 3 letters
Re: "Vote 'no' on latest pot push," Oct. 15 editorial.
The "vote 'no' on pot" editorial was sanctimonious grand-standing on the part of The Denver Post. To actually state with assumed authority that the efforts by SAFER are "merely an effort to enable marijuana users to get high on something besides alcohol" serves to disguise a social justice problem that dwarfs The Denver Post's concern. That problem is the arrest and conviction records of those who commit no law-breaking behavior other than to want to get high. If getting "high" is the concern of the editors, then why aren't they proselytizing for making alcohol illegal?
Why not be forthright and talk about that fact that "too much" of either substance is the issue? And in so doing, argue for decriminalizing something that thousands of Coloradans do on a regular basis – getting a little high. And, in doing so, speak out to prevent the injustice that occurs when someone possesses some pot and is arrested as a lawbreaker and branded as a criminal. Editorialize to change the current law. It is the right thing to do.
Tom Parsons, Broomfield
Re: "Voters could shift cops' pot priority," Oct. 19 guest commentary.
Mason Tvert's pro-pot opinion piece is a classic example of an attribution error. While his initiative has its merits, his reasoning is flawed.
Citing FBI statistics, he notes that Seattle's crime rate dropped and is substantially lower than Denver's and that Seattle, like Denver, has essentially decriminalized marijuana use and possession for adults. True though that may be, his inference that there is a causal relationship between decreased marijuana enforcement and less other crime is a classic fundamental attribution error. It assumes that if police stopping making marijuana arrests, it will lead to more arrests of other kinds – and less crime.
Could it be that there are other reasons related to Denver's higher crime rate, like a more effective police force in Seattle, a different culture, fewer gang members and less gang activity, a stronger local economy, or even more rain, thus keeping people off the streets at night?
As a high school civics teacher, it is clear to me that we need to be honest with kids about the effects of laws and the substantial dangers of alcohol use, and the fact that marijuana is rather less dangerous than legal alcohol use, as Mr. Tvert has correctly been pointing out. However, using ruses and false arguments regarding causes and consequences can only lead me to believe that Mr. Tvert, like many otherwise intelligent young people today, was out blowing smoke when he should have been listening in class.

Re: "Marijuana initiative short on … uh, um, like, you know," Oct. 20 Bob Ewegen column.
Bob Ewegen's column about Denver's marijuana initiative makes a number of erroneous statements, some of which he unfortunately attributes to the Marijuana Policy Project.
First, it simply is not true that "heavy marijuana use causes a condition I'll call 'cat litter for brains.' " A University of California analysis of the relevant research, published in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, reported that even long-term, regular marijuana use causes no substantial harm to neurocognitive functioning.
Second, Ewegen seems befuddled by the statement that 9 percent of marijuana users become dependent, as opposed to 15 percent of alcohol users. He makes the bizarre leap to claiming that the two drugs would leave a quarter of society "no longer productive citizens." Uh, no. Only 6 percent of the public are monthly marijuana users, so at most we're talking about half of 1 percent of the population even potentially incapacitated by marijuana.
But even that would be true only if heavy marijuana use left people so damaged as to be incapable of being productive citizens, and the research shows that this is simply not the case. While no drug is harmless, the health risks of marijuana are so small that they simply do not justify prohibition.

|United States property and casualty loss claims for apparel by item in percentages for 2011

Note: Table made from pie chart.
Full article
Jewelry--watches, rings earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other items--comprised the most-claimed insured loss category in 2011, replacing electronics as the top claims category, according to contents claims aggregator Enservio.
The average price per ring claimed increased by X% in 2011 compared to 2010, and the average price per jewelry item increased by XX% in 2011 compared to 2010, said Keith Pequeno, senior vice president of marketing for Enservio.
"Not as many people [are] splurging for high-end electronics as they did in 2010," added Enservio marketplace business analyst Chris Mills.
Mills noted that the number of jewelry items claimed in 2011, based on data submitted to Enserrio, spiked XX% over 2010, while electronics claims were up only XX% year-over-year.
"The continued increase in the price of precious gems and metals has quite a bit to do with that," Pequeno said. "Outside of the continued rise in the price of gold, the average price of silver increased in 2011 by XX% when you look at statistics from the Silver Institute."
Overall, jewelry in 2011 represented XX% of Enservio's Replacement Cost Value, the yardstick it uses to advise insurers when settling claims. Electronics was XX% of RCV last year.
The privately-held company, based in Needham, Mass., creates "contents inventories" that place actual market costs on thousands of individual items, and then makes software solutions that match claimed items with their actual worth.
Enservio has more than XXX insurance companies as clients and it sends trained field inventory specialists to visit claimants to help them remember and describe the lost item. A "loss" means "lost, damaged or stolen," Enservio said, while its criteria for matching claimed items to its inventories is based on "like, kind and quality."
"Jewelry, Electronics and Tools [categories] account for XX% of all RCV claimed for theft" in 2011, according to Pequeno, "where for all categories those same categories only account for XX% of all claimed."
The data Enservio analyzes provides some quirky insights, he added.
"Certain subcategory increases are interesting, such as ashtrays claimed increased XX%, whereas the population overall is smoking less."
Pequeno added: "On the other hand, the percentage of maps claimed decreased by XX% which would make sense in a world driven by GPS."

As practical theologian Fernando Arzola (pictured) says in his book Toward a Prophetic Youth Ministry: Theory and Praxis in Urban Context, "Contextualization gives theology hands." I am excited for the beginning of a new academic year, and I see the importance of us starting out right. My work in the Contextual Learning office has brought together various threads of work that will be strengthened through collaborative work that involves classroom, context, and communal life both on campus and out in communities of faith.
In particular, I am excited about the emergence of a new course entitled Christian Public Leader. For Master of Arts students (CML, CYF, and CCC) this will be a four semester series of courses guiding one in a rhythm of experience/reflection throughout their concentration of study. The fieldwork will be immersive and bring about learning that is not easily imparted in the classroom. We will be deeply connected to ministries and communities that are practicing their commitments of faith in the world that God so loves.
Master of Divinity students will also have opportunities to explore Christian Public Leader in a similar fashion through the leadership of my colleague April Winebrenner-Palo. For more about the Christian Public Leader offerings, visit out website at www.luthersem.edu/contextual_learning.
As practical theologian Fernando Arzola says in his book "Toward a Prophetic Youth Ministry: Theory and Praxis in Urban Context," "Contextualization gives theology hands."
With the new beginning before us, I hope that those MA students who are new to Luther this year will contact me soon with their interests and desires for contextual work. The sites we offer are many, and some of you will be bringing sites two me through your own exploration and interests. A starting point for anyone entering into this course will be to go to the website and begin by filling out the CPL preferences form.
This form, with your resume, will help me in assisting you in finding an ideal context to compliment your academic studies. Remembering Arzola's words, we are committed to such integrative work at Luther Seminary and look forward to starting out right with all of you! Blessings on your summer!

This is how you impress your horrified progeny's date during prom photographs. The Japanese engineering firm Fasotec is teaming up with Tokyo's Parkside Hiroo Ladies Clinic to offer expecting mothers 3D-printed models of their gestating bundles of joy.
A mere ¥100,000 will get you a 90x60x40 millimeter "Shape of an Angel," an MRI-scanned keepsake that depicts the fetus in white resin, floating in a block of "amniotic" clear resin. Is this the harbinger of things to come?
As in, will parents of the future print three-dimensional facsimiles of their children for every milestone, to the point that they collect entire Terracotta-soldier-like armies of their abashed spawn?

East Haven Officer Awaiting Civil Rights Trial Charged With Illegal Deer Hunting
The Hartford Courant
By DAVE ALTIMARI
4:58 PM EST, January 23, 2013
An East Haven officer awaiting a federal civil rights trial may have his bond revoked after his arrest on charges of illegal deer hunting.
David Cari earned "Buck of the Month Club" honors from a national hunting magazine in November, but now federal prosecutors plan to use the magazine photo showing him proudly holding up the antlers of the dead animal as evidence to revoke his bond.
Cari killed the deer with a bow and arrow, which prosecutors say is classified as a weapon and therefore should have turned over after his release on bond. He was arrested in January 2012. Cari did turn over seven pistols, five rifles and three shotguns.
Cari killed the deer on Nov. 6, federal officials say. Court records indicate that his hunting practices came under investigation by the Regional Water Authority when a witness whose property abuts the authority's land discovered a high tech surveillance system set up for deer hunting.
The witness noticed that there was a clearing in the woods where deer feed was spread on the ground, a camera attached to a tree pointed in the direction of the food and a "camouflage colored hunting blind," used by hunters to avoid detection, according to court records.
The witness told an investigator he saw Cari and another man on an ATV and that they admitted to him the setup was theirs but that they had permission to hunt on the property.
The investigator from the water authority found the camouflaged colored hunting blind. Inside the blind were two chairs, a plastic bottle of scent killer spray and an Ozonics Scent Control fan hanging from the ceiling, court records show.
Photos in the camera, dated Nov. 14, 2012, showed two dead deer hanging in the backyard of someone's home with Cari holding the antlers of one of them, court records show. Cari also lives close to water authority property.
When the officer confronted Cari about whether he was illegally hunting on water authority property he denied it. He also denied that the camera was his, telling the officer that "kids in the area may have put it up for paint ball games."
Federal authorities said state hunting license records show that Cari applied for and received a hunting license on Nov. 14. Cari also told state officials he had killed one deer with a rifle and another with a bow and arrow.
Cari was charged with illegal deer hunting and criminal trespassing in the third degree. He has a state court date of Jan. 30 in New Haven on those charges.
Cari has been out on a $100,000 bond confined to his home. But federal prosecutors will argue Thursday in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport that his bond should be revoked and he go to jail until his trial starts.
"Confining Cari to his residence is not an option that will ensure that Cari will abide by this Court's orders; nor will it ensure that he will not be a danger to the community,'' Assistant U.S. Attorney Krishna Patel wrote.
Patel said the state criminal charges, coupled with the fact that Cari lied to a law enforcement officer about his deer hunting, should be enough to revoke his bond.
Cari is supposed to go on trial either in late March or early April.
Cari is charged with conspiracy to violate someone's civil rights, one count of deprivation of rights for making arrests without probable cause and one count of filing false reports to justify false arrests.
He was one of four East Haven police officers arrested in a federal civil rights probe. Sgt. John Miller and Jason Zullo have plead guilty to lesser charges. The fourth officer, Dennis Spaulding, is scheduled to go on trial with Cari.

WATER MOVING DOWNWARD... is an act we can admire any time we turn on the tub or a sink or the garden hose. Gravity and flow play their parts, regardless of how large the amount of H20, and the general act of the wet stuff moving from Point A to Point B typically plays out in the same way. But our response tends to change when several thousands of gallons of water are moving at a rapid pace over a cliff face and falling hundreds of feet to a river or pool below. Gravity and flow are still at play, but we're witnessing a waterfall, one of nature's most beautiful sights. (A subjective category, but we'll just stand on the fact that waterfalls can and do show up inside nature calendars with frequency.) They're found all over California, even in small arroyos and washes, but Waterfall Planet (tm)? That's Yosemite National Park. And while some of the falls within the picturesque valley are known for keeping a fairly perky year-round schedule -- Bridalveil Fall, we're looking at you, with admiration -- springtime is when things truly pick up in the waterfall department. That's because, in much the same way that April showers bring May flowers, late winter snow melt fuels the running water needed to feed the falls. (Okay, not quite the catchy rhyme, but we'll stick with it.)
WANT TO SEE THE SPARKLY SIGHTS? There are so many of them, but if you go for the valley, you're set for some of the biggies, including Bridalveil, Yosemite, Vernal, and Nevada. Oh, and Horsetail, which puts on its own sunset-driven show for a brief window at the end of February and the beginning of March. For maximum waterfall enjoyment, April and May tend to be good viewing times, too, and you'll get the added benefit of wildflower action in some of the higher meadows. When we mentioned nature calendars before, we should have mentioned that all nature calendars everywhere likely look to Yosemite in the springtime, for inspiration and motivation, regardless of the calendar's particular subject. How could they not? The valley is a veritable sparkly-drop wonderland of gravity acting upon water in the most spectacular fashion.

At the Television Critics Association winter press tour Wednesday, "2 Broke Girls" co-creator Michael Patrick King fielded a lot of questions about ethnic caricatures on his show, the biggest new series of the fall season.
TCA panels are usually friendly affairs in which reporters and critics ask questions of show creators and stars. But this one quickly turned ugly.
Also read: '2 Broke Girls' Creator's Bizarre Way of Defending Stereotypes: More Stereotypes
The questions focused on characters who work at a diner with lead characters played by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. The diner workers include a Korean immigrant named Han who speaks in broken English and desperately wants to be cool.
The questions culminated in Michael Patrick King accusing a reporter from TheWrap (full disclosure: me) of a "sexual problem" when I tried to clarify whether CBS has asked him to change the characters.
Also read: CBS Chief Nina Tassler Defends Risqué, Stereotypical Comedies
Here are the most heated exchanges from the panel, plucked directly from CBS's transcript of the event. (We've identified the questions that were ours.)
QUESTION: Michael, the show has become known for its very broad racial and ethnic humor. I was curious about whether ‑‑
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Thank you.
QUESTION: I was curious about whether you think that reflects the way that New Yorkers in gentrifying neighborhoods interact with each other? And if not, what's compelling to you about imagining that it is?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: The first thing is that I think that ‑‑ good morning. I think that our show is a big ballsy comedy, but it has a bigger heart than it has balls. And I feel that it is broad and brash and very current, and it takes place in Williamsburg, New York, which you know ‑‑ if you don't know, all you have to do is Google it, and you'll see it is a complete mashup of young irreverent hipsters, old‑school people, different nationalities, different ethnic backgrounds, and what our show represents is that mashup of very current, very young, smart girls and a wide range of characters that come in. We like to say that ‑‑ Nina likes to say we're an equal‑opportunity offender. I like to say that the big story ‑‑ the big story about race on our show is that so many are represented, that the cast is incredibly, not only multi‑ethnic including the regulars and the guest stars, but it's also incredibly not ageist. So the big story on our show is we sort of represent what New York used to be and is currently very much still alive in Williamsburg, which is a melting pot.
QUESTION (The Wrap): In terms of the ethnic caricatures or maybe the broad characters, [CBS entertainment president] Nina Tassler said that she's asked you to "continue to dimensionalize, continue to get more specific, continue to build them out," in her words. What does that mean exactly? What has she asked you to do?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: It's an interesting process because, if you talk about stereotypes, every character when it's born is a stereotype. I mean, this show started with two stereotypes ‑‑ a blonde and a brunette. And that implies certain stigmas as well, which we immediately tried to diffuse and grow. And we happened to have Garrett Morris's character, who's an African American. We've done an episode where he has a very personal experience, and you start to see the family showing up around all these characters. Every character on a series hopefully, if you have the journey that everybody would like to have on a series, which is time, you get to shade the characters so they become more and more rounded, a little bit more grounded. A short character like Han will always be referred to as short. There will always be short jokes, the way that Danny DeVito's character in "Taxi" was a short guy. There's going to be jokes. That's what comedy is. You point out the objective viewpoint of somebody else.
QUESTION (TheWrap): So the network hasn't actually asked you to sort of expand on these characters who may have started off as one-note?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: I don't think the characters were one-note. I thought the characters were the first note, and as a writer ‑‑ I mean, I've had a lot of experience being on shows over years, and what you try to do as a writer and what we try to do as writing staff and what the actors are doing every day perfectly is you grow.
QUESTION (TheWrap): I guess what I'm trying to get at is what the network actually asked you to do.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Keep making the show the way you think you want to see it.
QUESTION (TheWrap): But that's not really what she [Tassler] said.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Okay. So ‑‑
You're asking me if I was asked by Nina to change the show to make the characters more dimensional? No. The characters are dimensional, and they're seen in segments of 21 minutes, which limits the amount of dimension you can see. So I will call you in five years, and you'll have accrued enough time to figure out if these characters became fully fledged out.
QUESTION: Mr. King, I think with the Han character, it's not the issue that he's short.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Uh‑huh.
QUESTION: It's the issue that there's so many stereotypical Asian jokes about him. If you had to do it again, would you maybe change that character so he's not such a distraction to the show?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: I like Han. I like his character. I like the fact that he's an immigrant. I like the fact that he's trying to fit into America. I like the fact that in the last three episode we haven't made an Asian joke. We've only made short jokes. I mean, you start to see the character, and I like Matthew Moy because I believe Matthew Moy is almost a unique being unto himself. So we're basically writing that character now. I mean, would you say that the blond, rich bitch is a stereotype? Would you say that the tough‑ass, dark, sarcastic‑mouthed waitress is a stereotype? I like all of them. I think they work together as a nice set. Of course, the characters will grow, and I wish we had a lot more time every episode to continually bring out new wings of who these people are, but that's what the series is for.
QUESTION: So are you ‑‑ does that mean that you're not going to go back to the Asian stereotypes?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: I'm gay. I'm putting in ‑‑
BETH BEHRS: What? Oh, my God.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: ‑‑ gay stereotypes every week. I don't find it offensive, any of this. I find it ‑‑ I find it comic to take everybody down. That's what we're doing.
QUESTION: Does being a part of one traditionally disenfranchised group make it then carte blanche to make fun of other traditionally disenfranchised groups? Or are you ‑‑
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: No.
QUESTION: ‑‑ at all of them?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: No, I would say that you could rephrase that being a comedy writer gives you permission to be an outsider and poke fun at what people think about other people.
[Editor's note: The next question was about the horse on the show. Behrs and Dennings said he has become protective of them. "I wish he was here right now," said King.]
QUESTION (TheWrap): I also love the horse. And I'm sorry to parse this so much, but, earlier, Nina came out and said, "Our dialogue with Michael is, yes, continue to dimensionalize." Then you said that she has not asked you to dimensionalize. So I'm wondering. Has anybody at CBS asked you to dimensionalize?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: If had you asked me ‑‑ what's your name?
QUESTION: Tim Molloy from TheWrap.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: So you are Irish?
QUESTION: Yes.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Okay. So we've identified your sexual problem.
I understand, Tim. I'm the same way.
QUESTION: I'm just asking if anyone ‑‑
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Seriously, Tim, you went back to this question. So let me address it.
QUESTION: Okay.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: You didn't ask me, "Did Nina tell you, 'Michael, go ahead and continue to dimensionalize the characters'?" The answer to that would have been, yes, Nina has always said dimensionalize the characters. You asked me if she asked me to pull away from the way we started and dimensionalize the characters. So you had a little bit of a different question.
QUESTION: I asked it a couple different ways, but you just ‑‑ I mean, I can read you back your quote if you want.
BETH BEHRS: Okay.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Okay.
KAT DENNINGS: No, no.
QUESTION: "You are asking me if I was asked by Nina to change the show to make the characters more dimensional. No." And then you just said, "Yes."
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Do you have your question there, Tim?
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Okay. Nina ‑‑
QUESTION: Just answer it.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: Nina Tassler is ‑‑
QUESTION: Clarify.
MICHAEL PATRICK KING: ‑‑ so far above this conversation. It's not even funny. Nina Tassler, first of all, is about creativity, hilarity, success, and being proud of what we do, which is what we are proud of. And our relationship is nothing but fun, and we believe that the show is nothing but fun for the audience. So I'm surprised that the questions are not about fun.

Preventing and Relieving Suffering for Chronic Disease
Download the Palliative Care Brochure
Palliative care is interdisciplinary care that aims to prevent and relieve suffering as well as improve the quality of life for patients with chronic disease and/or life-threatening illness.
Palliative Care helps hospitals meet pain and other quality standards required by Joint Commission. The US News and World Report now includes the presence of Palliative Care services among its evaluation criteria for best hospitals.
The Palliative Care Core Team members include our wonderfully compassionate Medical Director Syed Z. Mohsin, M.D., a Nurse Manager, two Social Workers and a Chaplain who embody the palliative care philosophy. The Team, primary care physician and patient care delivery team collaborate on each patient's case.
The Hospital has dedicated a unit to serve patients and families, however, the palliative care framework can be extended to patients throughout the Hospital. The unit on 7 West includes dedicated in-patient beds with daybeds in each room as well as a unit family room with a special kitchenette and bathroom for them.
The Team will work closely with the patient's primary care physician to co-manage each case and ensure that each patient receives the quality care that is synonymous with Little Company of Mary's name.
Palliative care benefits patients by:
- Helping with care coordination and time-intensive pt/family communication about the goals of care
- Providing pain and symptom management expertise
- Helping coordinate care including safe and effective discharge planning
- Decreasing the length of hospital and ICU stays so the patient can rest at home and eases patient transitions between care settings.

You remember what it's about? In case you don't, here's what Goodreads says:
When high school junior Sara wins a coveted scholarship to study ballet, she must sacrifice everything for her new life as a professional dancer-in-training. Living in a strange city with a host family, she's deeply lonely-until she falls into the arms of Remington, a choreographer in his early twenties. At first, she loves being Rem's muse, but as she discovers a surprising passion for writing, she begins to question whether she's chosen the right path. Is Rem using her, or is it the other way around? And is dancing still her dream, or does she need something more? This debut novel in verse is as intense and romantic as it is eloquent.
Here's what I said about AUDITION in a roundabout way before I even read it in this post called IF IT DOESN'T ALMOST KILL YOU, IT'S JUST COKE ZERO. And in case you don't want to actually read the post, the gist of it was this: If you're not sacrificing for it, it's not a dream as much as it's just something you like a lot. Okay, seriously, just go read it because that's not all I said. Anyway, the point is that it was the premise of AUDITION that got me thinking about dreams and what it takes to achieve them.
And now that I've read AUDITION (a few months ago, actually), I can tell you that I still feel the same way. Stronger, actually. See, the thing is we have this tendency to blame other people when our dreams don't come true. And maybe, sometimes, it is the case that your dream falling to pieces is not your fault at all. Say your dream is to go to Mars wearing only tinfoil. You can't help it that this doesn't happen. But a lot of dreams (most, even?) are up to you to make it happen. Up to you to sacrifice, I mean. Take...publishing, for example. We all know publishing is cutthroat and it can bleed you of your sanity. For some people, the obstacles become a bit Job-like, and it seems the trials are greater than any mere mortal should be asked to withstand.
But, really, the dream's not over until you either die or give up. If you die first, well, dang. Sorry. If you give up...maybe the sacrifice is just too great. Maybe, just maybe you don't want it bad enough. Something to think about.
It's what AUDITION gets you thinking about.
So while we're on the topic, I should tell you that AUDITION gets you thinking about a lot, actually. Dance, for one thing. And I love dancing, of any kind (except for clogging--that just kind of wigs me out). But as much as this book deals with dance, it's not actually about dance. It's about, I don't know...sacrifice...pain...heartache--all of these things. But all of these things come about because of one thing: longing. A longing for acceptance, achievement, love, affection, attention, success, glory, hope. It pushes the cry of teenage existence to the forefront: See me! In other words, Do not overlook me, forget me, neglect me, or see me as something other than what I am.
Because that's all a teenager (anyone) really wants, isn't it? To be seen and heard and felt. The problem, of course, seems to be that teens don't always know how to go about being seen. Sometimes, this results in a dream that is formed out of a spark of recognition/success. Remember when your art teacher said, "What a lovely drawing, Johnny!" and you suddenly had aspirations to become an artist? Or when you made money babysitting and wondered if you should be a nanny for the rest of forever? It's easy to form a dream out of something that let us be seen for just a moment. So what happens when you start to realize that the sacrifice to achieve that dream may cost you more than it's worth? This is what AUDITION explores in heart-wrenching detail.
AUDITION is beautiful. So, so poignant and sad and happy and alive. It is poetry, yes, but poetry that reads like narrative. Within a few stanzas, you forget you're reading verse, and then the story simply comes to life, like listening to the lyrics of a song. You will find yourself reading the words out loud just to listen to the sound of it, and sometimes you will whip through because you must know, you must, what will happen to Sara. And you will grip your book tight, and wonder, why, why, why, Sara?? But you might then discover that there are boundaries you too might cross, just like Sara, if you were in the same toe shoes.
This was my first experience with a novel in verse, and I can't think of a more breathtaking initiation. AUDITION is tense and edgy and yet it doesn't grip you by the throat--it captivates you with its grace.
Now go get it, so we can talk about it. The best parts of this book are the parts I can't discuss here without spoiling it for everyone.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will deliver the keynote address at the Republican National Convention tonight, and media pundits are speculating about whether the Garden State chief executive's often-tempestuous persona will create enough energy to compete with Hurricane Isaac, now barreling down on the northern Gulf Coast.
However, this report is not about the convention, which is being covered by another writer for The New American, but about Christie, himself. Though Christie has achieved national attention as a governor who is about as conservative as is politically possible in a Northeastern state with a liberal, union-influenced electorate (much like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker), it is his feisty personality as much as his politics that has so often garnered him national media attention.
Indeed, it is hard to do an online search of articles about Christie without finding several wherein he is described as "New Jersey's tough-talking governor." This reputation has been greatly enhanced by frequent video clips of Christie posted on YouTube, displaying his blunt style to maximum effect. One of the first such videos to receive national attention was recorded at a Meg Whitman for Governor rally in Hollywood, California, in 2010. When a heckler shouted out that Whitman appeared to be like "Arnold [Schwarzenegger] in a dress," Christie stepped down from the stage, shaking his finger at the man, speaking sternly: "You want to yell? Yell at me, but don't give her a hard time." (See video at end of article.]
Even people who might normally be turned off by such a confrontational personality viewed Christie's defense of Whitman as an exercise in old-fashioned chivalry.
However, Christie is not averse to responding firmly to women, as well as men, who confront him at public events. When a teacher attacked his spending cuts as an assault on teachers' compensation, he told the woman matter-of-factly: "Teachers go into it knowing what the pay scale is." (Click to watch video.)
When I became aware of Christie a few years back, I was somewhat amused by the constant application of the description "tough-talking" to him, for reasons that will become apparent in a moment. Looking up his biography on Wikipedia, we find that Christie was born in Newark and is of Scottish, Irish, and Sicilian descent. Those of us who grew up in New Jersey and who are familiar with rough-and-tumble Newark and who played an exceptionally physical version of "keep-away" at lunchtime on playgrounds dominated by scrappy Irish and Italian kids are bound to remark: "With a background like Christie's, what would you expect — Mr. Rogers?"
To bring this story to an even more personal level, when I saw him in action (especially in the video confronting Meg Whitman's heckler) my initial reaction was that my late father, who passed away in New Jersey in 1989, had come back to life in a younger body. My Dad worked in construction as a young man, and demonstrated those same direct, confrontational mannerisms for which Christie has become famous. (I used to say that my father was the only Republican member of the Wood, Wire, and Metal Lathers Union, but I spoke too soon. It seems that Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah belonged to the very same union while working his way through law school!)
While the rest of the nation (except, maybe, for Texans, who also appreciate over-the-top boldness) might be somewhat amused, slightly perplexed, or even alienated by Christie's blunt style, anyone familiar with the culture of rank-and-file New Jersey tends to regard him as "one of us" — a regular guy you might sit down and have a beer with.
While carbon copies of Chris Christie are to be found in every city, suburb, and hamlet of New Jersey, he is unique — in this writer's memory — as a resident of Drumthwacket, the official residence of the Garden State's governor. For a state with such a colorful, diverse population, New Jerseyans have often tended to elect bland, lackluster individuals to the governorship. It is little wonder that Christie is perhaps the first New Jersey governor since Woodrow Wilson whose name has even come up as a possible presidential or vice presidential candidate.
In politics, after all, the worst handicap is to have no personality.
And what about Christie's politics? His endorsement of Mitt Romney speaks volumes, so he is obviously no anti-establishment libertarian like former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. But, like Scott Walker in Wisconsin, he does seem to have done a good job of fighting the entrenched, union-dominated bureaucrats and at least attempting to curb spending.
And, if his track record is any indication, his keynote speech at the GOP convention is likely to be more stimulating than the rash of unrealistic, New Jersey-based "reality" shows such as Jersey Shore or Jerseylicious.

The Scottish Grand National -
Ayr's social event of the year!
AYR'S biggest sporting AND social event of the year - the Coral Scottish Grand National - is just a few days away, and already excitement is building, with more than 18,000 people expected to flock to Ayr Racecourse on Saturday 21 April.
Picture shows: Run for Paddy (left) battling with Ladalko and Royal Emperor to win the Scottish Grand National 2006.
And with around 5,000 likely to be in attendance on Friday - the first day of the two day festival – not only the course will be busy, but also local hotels, bars, restaurants, shops and taxi companies.
The Racecourse is geared up for the big event with more than 800 staff in place to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible so that everyone enjoys their weekend's racing.
Picture shows: The raceday crowds soaking up the Ayr sunshine.
A feature of the on course facilities again this year will be the John Smith's No Nonsense tented village with 67 bars and a huge variety of food outlets.
Another huge improvement is the state of the art £200,000 parade ring and sumptuous Champagne Gardens, including the latest revolutionary Ferado Terrace which enables guests to eat and drink outdoors no matter the weather.
There will be entertainment in the form of samba band Beats of Brazil who are returning to the racecourse by popular demand and Club stand patrons can enjoy live music in the Horseshoe Bar within the Princess Royal Suite on Friday with New Trix and on Saturday with the Halos. Both these bans will play for three hours after racing.
Corporate hospitality bookings over the two days are in excess of 2,000 and its anticipated there will be more than 4000 burgers eaten, 45,000 pints of beer and lager drunk, 1200 bottles of champagne quaffed, 2500 bottles of wine sold and 1800 bottles of spirits dispensed. And to make sure everyone remains cool, a staggering 4,800,000 ice cubes will be added to the drinks.
Advance ticket sales are well up on this stage last year and hospitality is at an all time high.
Ayr Racecourse Marketing Manager Lindsey Smith told Ayrshire Business News: "Everything is geared for a tremendous two days, and we are pulling out all the stops to ensure everyone who attends has a fabulous time.
"All our bars and restaurants will have extra staff on duty to ensure nobody has to wait too long for service. This worked so well at last year's Ayr Gold Cup Festival, and we are sure it will be a success again.
"With advance ticket sales so high and hospitality bookings also very healthy, we are anticipating our biggest crowd for many years."
Tickets can be booked in advance by calling 0870-8505666 or by going online at www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk

|Special Teams Coordinator/Rovers
|(916) 278-4861
|Previous College:
|Boise State, '07
Anthony Parker recently completed his seventh season at Sacramento State. In 2016, he will serve as the team's special teams coordinator and will also coach the nickelbacks.
In 2015, Parker coached four of the team's top six tacklers. Freshman Manny Scott-Anderson finished third on the team with 72 total tackles, including 2.5 for loss. Austin Clark ranked fourth on the team with 51 tackles and was followed by Joey Banks (42 stops) and Elijah Wallace (36 stops).
During the 2014 season, Parker was the team's safeties coach where he helped mentor Robbie Kendall to third team all-Big Sky honors. That season, Kendall started each of his games at safety before being injured on the opening kickoff against Portland State. While playing out of the secondary, he had four tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks.
Parker served as the Hornets' defensive coordinator from 2010-13. In 2010, he saw his unit respond by finishing third in the Big Sky Conference in total defense and scoring defense. Led by second team All-American, first team all-Big Sky selection and Arizona Cardinal signee Zack Nash, the Hornet defense recorded 26 total sacks and 66 tackles-for-loss. The defense also intercepted 10 passes and recovered 16 of the 17 fumbles it forced.
Along with Nash, who led the nation in TFLs per game, the defense also featured second team all-Big Sky selections Christian Clark, Peter Buck and Zach Schrader. Clark went on to continue his career with the San Jose SaberCats of the Arena Football League in the spring.
Overall, the defense surrendered 20 points or less in seven of the 11 games, including the final four of the season.
In 2013, Parker saw linebacker Todd Davis named first team all-Big Sky after leading the league and ranking fifth nationally with 10.9 tackles per game. Davis concluded his four-year career with 351 tackles which ranks second in school history. Sophomore defensive end Darnell Sankey and nickelback Markell Williams both earned honorable mention all-Big Sky accolades.
In 2012, Parker coached six players to all-Big Sky honors. Cornerback Osagie Odiase was placed on the second team while safety Ryan McMahon, linebackers Todd Davis and Jeff Badger, defensive end Avery White and defensive tackle Matt Lawrence were honorable mention. McMahon signed with the Green Bay Packers after the season, marking the second consecutive season the team put a defensive player in the NFL.
In 2011, four players were honored by the conference at the end of the year. Nash, once again, earned first team accolades as well as being named first team All-America by the American Football Coaches Association and the Associated Press. Cornerback Kyle Monson was placed on the second team while linebacker Todd Davis and safety Joe Larche were honorable mention.
In his first season at Sacramento State, Parker oversaw the team's defensive backs and was also the special teams coordinator. In that role, he coached safety Zach Schrader to Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year honors as well as being named second team all-conference.
Parker came to the Hornets from Boise State where he assisted the program for four seasons. He began his tenure with the Broncos as a student manager during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Parker was then named a graduate assistant in 2007 and 2008 where he worked with the defensive line and also nickel backs. During his time at BSU, the team posted a 44-8 overall record and advanced to a bowl game each season. The highlight came in 2006 when Boise State finished the year 13-0, including an overtime victory over Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Ironically, the Broncos began that year with a victory over Sacramento State.
Prior to joining the Boise State program, Parker was a high school coach in the Sacramento area. He was the defensive backs coach and pass-defense coordinator at Del Oro High School in Loomis, Calif., from 2002-04. While at Del Oro, he helped coach the Golden Eagles to a berth in the Sac-Joaquin Section Div. II championship game in 2004. During that season, Del Oro led the Sierra Foothill League in interceptions and also allowed the fewest points. In 2002, Parker coordinated a pass defense which led the Sacramento area with 20 interceptions.
Parker also coached at Rocklin High School in 2000 and 2001. While there, he served as the defensive backs coach for a unit which led the league in scoring defense and allowed just 32.9 passing yards per game.
A Northern California native, Parker graduated from Del Oro HS in 1992. He then spent four years in the United States Marine Corps before attending Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif., where he played both defensive back and wide receiver. He earned a bachelor's degree in social science from Boise State in 2007.
He and his wife, Trisha, were married in July of 2007. The couple have two sons, Bodie (5) and Hagan (2).
Recruiting Area: All high schools and junior colleges in the North Bay up to the Oregon border.

In November we had the good fortune to go to Maui Hawaii for a few days. As always the fish in Hawaii is the star of every meal. At Mama's Fish House they serve a salad similar to this, although I am sure I have forgotten some of the ingredients. When I find my notes from the trip I will do a second version. For now, my husband said this was the best salad he tasted in a long time. The salad features Sushi grade uncooked Ahi tuna combined with Napa cabbage and dressed with vinaigrette containing soy sauce and wasabi.
The flavors are clear, clean, and crisp, a welcome change [click to continue…]
