Some years ago a flippant slogan was adopted by pro-abortion militants: "Public health the proposition; Catholic Church the opposition." By an almost incredible turn of events the opposite has come about, the slogan now reading: "A Human Life Amendment the proposition; rigorist Catholics the opposition." There is no flippancy meant here, only deep concern.
Those Americans working for the Human Life Amendment (HLA) meet under the auspices of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). This year's meeting (June 7-9) was by far the most broadened to date. Ecumenical widening of the HLA movement is now significant and Protestant leaders exert considerable influence in the NRLC. Other growth is evident. The "peace" issue was tied into the pro-life movement by Richard McSorley, S.J., and the first references to the depersonalization of war, racism and religious bias were presented. Those who would once have choked on the words "family planning" applauded astronaut Joseph Kerwin as he told them that energy and population problems are real. These are impressive growth phenomena in a group which once was a handful of Catholics largely numb (let us be honest) to war, racism and other "life" issues. The narrow days are gone forever and the future promises a broad posture against all human disvaluations.
Now for the bad news. It is contained entirely in a single word that promises to mean the difference between possible success of the HLA and its certain failure. This fulcral word is "conception." Because of the complexity of the situation, and because of the ease with which it could be resolved, it is important that everyone who is interested in the HLA understand the problem fully.
Every proposed amendment to date has weaknesses of a semantic, legal or interpretational nature. Sensing these weaknesses, the 10-man team of lawyers for the NRLC worked one year developing a nearly air-tight HLA which, after NRLC approval, was to be sponsored in Congress. Since the HLA is antihomicidal, it must state when human life begins. Weighty biological arguments can be adduced to support the belief that at fertilization only the character of the subsequently hominized entity is established and that biological hominization does not occur until about two weeks later at a time near to implantation. Since science presents no certitude that life begins before this "gray" period is passed, a state of probabilism exists with a strong tilt toward the more probable, holding that human life ought not (a biological "ought," not a moral "ought") to be held to exist until conception.
The Church does not define the initial stage of abortion, nor has it defined the prevention of implantation as homicidal. It does not excommunicate users of the lUD under Canon 2350 whereby it excommunicates those culpable of abortion. The Church position is based upon an inability to define the "moment of animation." The Vatican II commission drawing up the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World debated the same problems and with a profound wisdom guarded life from the moment of its conception. The commission also noted that it would not touch upon the "moment of animation," but would leave it to biological science to give evidence of the beginning of life. In other words, it used "conception" as an open term, the precise biological content of which was open to scientific substantiation.
Moral dimensions exist here, as they did for the council Fathers. Doubtful laws cannot be made to obligate a free human being. No one is held to the impossible task of resolving the unresolvable. If it is unresolvably doubtful that the prevention of implantation is a homicidal act, it should not be proscribed by antihomicidal laws. Nor can moral tutiorism (the safer course) be translated into civil law in an unresolvably doubtful situation but only when a resolvable or temporarily doubtful situation exists. Finally, ascetical tutiorism simply cannot be enforced by law in a libertarian, pluralistic society. If John Courtney Murray and Vatican II have not taught us this much, we have simply been ignoring the Declaration of Religious Freedom.
In the U.S. Senate Committee hearings, chaired by Sen. Birch Bayh, biological experts imported by the NRLC admitted to the existence of the "gray" area between fertilization and implantation. Sheer political wisdom indicates that no amendment which outlaws truly life-saving abortions (rare) or the iUD (very common) will ever see the light of day. Sheer practical wisdom in legalism indicates that the evidentiary and procedural problems attendant to either banning or prosecuting any pre-implantational interventions are insuperable, with the result that it doesn't really make any factual difference whether the HLA uses the term "fertilization" or "conception." If all of these considerations are so obvious to the scientists, lawyers and political analysts of the NRLC, why—one must ask—did the nonexpert board of the NRLC reject the HLA proposed for the NRLC and send it back to committee for a useless delay?
The answer lies in the opposition by rigoristic Catholics to any HLA that falls short of the pastoral instructions of the Church to its own faithful regarding life-saving abortions and the IUD. Some voted against the NRLC amendment because it permitted the truly life-saving abortion—"God does not allow them," this despite the fact that in the civil order into which any viable amendment must enter every state somehow permitted such abortions even before the Roe v. Wade decision. Others voted against the NRLC version because it omits the word "fertilization" and thus permits the IUD; this despite the fact that no state ever seriously considered any law proscribing the IUD nor will one ever ratify any amendment which proscribes it.
Other Catholics and many NRLC Protestants, modeling themselves after the council Fathers, insist that the NRLC amendment use the word "conception" as a signal to the Congress and the ratifying states that pre-implantational interventions would be permitted until such time as biological science could prove with certitude that human life commences at fertilization. They also leave the law open to truly life-saving abortions (strictly interpreted). The NRLC wording does not use either "fertilization" or "conception," but protects human life "at every moment of biological development." Even this end-run around the "gray" area might not work once the court asks for biological evidence on the beginning of life. In short, the argument lies between the council-oriented members of the NRLC and those Catholics who act as though fertilization were an article of faith and as though assent to a "conception" HLA constitutes a disobedience to the Church and the bishops, as well as a danger to their own salvation. They are willing to go down the drain with their "orthodoxy" intact.
Others insist on taking the amendment proposal to Congress as one does a money request: "Ask for ten million so you can compromise at five million." Ask for "fertilization," settle for "conception." This is a money-allocation mindset that is improper and alien to a principled amendment mindset. Every amendment in history has proposed for the assent of the Congress and the states a document- able and unambiguous precept of such clarity and truth that it compelled the desired assent. For example, many things can be considered to be involuntary servitude or slavery, e.g., tax payments, service in the military draft, even housework (shades of women's liberation). But the 13th Amendment went for the clear and documentable precept that humans ought not be enslaved. The amendment petitioners did not go for all possible involuntary servitude with the notion that they would settle for the freeing of the blacks from slavery. An amendment to the solemn document whereby we order our society is not to be carried out with fish-market haggling and bargaining.
What can be done to save the amendment? I indicated above that it might be saved easily. The Reverend Bob Holbrook, the Texas leader of Baptists for Life, has noted: "When you see truckloads of slain unborn children being carted off to the trash heap, you don't just stand around debating ways to save them all; you save whom you can while you figure out a way to save the rest."
This is not the last wisdom that rigoristic Catholics are destined to learn from their Protestant colleagues in the amendment drive. Protestants have a more cerebral sense than do rigorists of the civil order within which public moral issues must come to rest. They have none of the old Methodist anti-saloonism, the old ministerial anti-gambling instinct, the old blue-law crusading against profanation of the Sabbath. They are Christians revolting against the social injustice done to unborn children. They are neo-abolitionists seeking to abolish the latest form of human disvaluation, the depersonalization of their smallest, fellow God-ordained human creatures. They are not Baptists defending the Baptist faith. Mormons defending Mormonism, Lutherans defending the Reformation or Protestants defending justification by faith.
But the rigoristic Catholics are defending what they believe to be their faith's basic propositions, and they intend to defend them from "crazy" theologians, lax bishops and Vatican II. They threaten to jump ship from the NRLC if laxism of any degree is manifested in the amendment. Instant experts in all disciplines, they condemn their scientists for admitting to the "gray" area, reject the best work of their lawyers and—as one rigorist said—"if the bishops consent to a 'conception' amendment, it will be for us just one more proof that the Church is deteriorating further."
The National Conference of Catholic Bishops will meet in November, and the odds are that the NCCB will simply have to address itself to this matter. Perhaps the time has come for a joint statement by the Protestant and Catholic bishops of the United States similiar to the one recently issued by the German bishops (see "On the Protection of Unborn Life," Catholic Mind, February, 1974). While such a statement would be devastating to the rigorists, it might save the amendment drive. The ecumenical problem in the NRLC is not between Catholics and Protestants; it is between Catholic rigorists and orthodox but realistic Christians who will accept an amendment that falls short of purism rather than fail to gain an amendment at all. It is ironic and a little dismaying to observe that when tempers, accusations and motive-assignments emerge in the NRLC, it is the Protestants who seem more aware that "Thou shalt not kill" is not the only commandment; there is another one which goes: "Love one another." Given the rough road lying before any amendment, it is clear that unborn children will not be protected by law and love until all pro-lifers learn the law of love.
And now for a word from your local bishop. Someone must teach all Catholics that they can embrace a workable amendment that falls short of natural-law moral theology, and that a lesser evil can be consented to in order to achieve a greater good. The bishops can do this while protecting their pastoral concerns, and the coming NCCB meeting looks like a good bet for such pastoral wisdom-seeking. In their November, 1968 statement on "Human Life in Our Day," the Catholic bishops of the United States used the terms "life. . . once it is conceived" and "once conception has taken place." Eminent theologians such as Charles Curran, Richard A. McCormick, Joseph Donceel and Bernard Häring no longer locate hominization at fertilization, hence the time is ripe for an episcopal statement that would instruct Catholics to support an antihomicidal amendment protecting - human life from "conception" of the biologically hominized being rather than an amendment that reaches back across the "gray" area of morals, law and science to "fertilization." While a wrong statement at a premature time can be harmful, more harm can be done by a wrong silence at an overdue time.

I'm thankful my sons got my husband's genes when it comes to athletics. If they had mine, their athletic experience would have been limited to tetherball on the 4th grade playground. I've been told I run worse than a girl. The one time I got
Thankfully you haven't stopped by my blog today to learn about sports ... hopefully I can share a lesson from sports we can learn without breaking a sweat. So, welcome if you are visiting after reading my devotion about off-season training. If you haven't read it, hop over to Proverbs 31 Ministries for a peek.
What I've learned from watching my athletic family, is what you do off-season, significantly affects in-season performance. If you want to succeed, do your personal best or pin an opponent, your training prepares you for that one moment that makes the difference.
For a Christian, reading God's Word is one of the best ways to train off season. Here are some of the benefits I've found by training in Scripture:
1) I recognize the voice of God more readily. When you read the Bible, you get to know God. You stop saying things like, "God would never ..." The only thing I'm convinced of is God would never sin. Other than that, our God is in the heavens and He does whatever He pleases. (Psalm 115:3) So when He speaks to me, I'm better equipped to know it's Him because I've heard His voice recorded for generations.
2) I've gotten answers to questions I haven't asked yet. Here's an example. One thing I learned by reading the Bible is I can know God's will. I didn't even think it was possible before I read Romans 12:2. It reads: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." That truth gave me confidence to step out in faith.
3) I've made life-changing decisions based on truth in the Bible. One huge choice I made was to honor my husband in my heart. In my flesh, I wanted no part of that. There was some sense of power I retained by harboring dishonoring thoughts. But then I put two verses together: Ephesians 5:33 which teaches a wife to respect her husband and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:21-22, which says if you are angry, you will be judged the same as if you had murdered. I understood through those, and other scriptures, that God was looking at my heart just like He's looking at my actions. It made me do a heart-check in my marriage, and I wasn't looking too good.
Last night, my friend Wendy Blight felt compelled to write a prayer for marriages. She had no idea I would share this on my blog today. If want to pray for your marriage, and don't have the words, please visit Wendy's site for a prayer God led her to write.
Of course, I've only touched on the powerful impact of training has when a crisis hits. Training is the difference between standing firm or falling apart.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject. As I mentioned in the devotion, I'm giving away a copy of the Chronological Bible to someone at random. All you have to do is identify one truth you've learned from the Bible that has helped you stay strong in the tough times. If you don't have a truth to identify, the just make a comment. Please leave your email address so I can get in touch with you. Or check back on Friday when I'll post the winner.
Thanks so much for joining me today. May the Lord bless you!
In His Love,

MOST IMPROVED AWARD: Hunter Hethcoat, a freshman from Franklin, Tenn., was presented the "Most Improved Award". His high school personal record was 17:55 and he only broke 18 minutes once in high school. For the one 5-K race Lipscomb's men ran this year Hunter posted a time of 16:33. On paper he was 18th fastest on the team coming into the 2008 season. During the season he finished as high as fifth on the team and posted an 8000m time of 26:40, the sixth fastest time on the team this season.
"The 26:40 for 8000m is roughly equal to 16:00 for 5-K!, said Bisons cross country coach Bill Taylor. "He was an inspiration to the whole men's team and has proven he can be a great collegiate runner."
FIGHTING BISON AWARD: Tyler Youngs, from Kennesaw, Ga., was awarded the "Fighting Bison Award" as the person who demonstrates the most guts, mental toughness and physical toughness.
"Tyler ran with guts and toughness in every workout and race this season," said Taylor. "He finished as high as fourth on the team this year.
"In the most impressive display of toughness, Tyler was tripped and spiked in the head in the first 400 meters of the Loyola Invitational in Chicago. He got up with spike cuts and blood flowing from his head and worked his way up from about 360th place to finish 133rd in the race. His performance inspired the whole team and showed that you can overcome huge obstacles."
FOR THE TEAM AWARD: Jared Carlson, from Rockford, Ill., was given the "For the Team Award". It is present to the person who is the best teammate and the person who is most positive, motivating and caring.
"Jared was expected to be one of the top runners for the men's team in 2008, however a lower back stress fracture caused from throwing freight in a summer job cost him the entire season," said Taylor. "Instead of whining about his situation or fading away, Jared was out with the men's team in any weather taking times, yelling encouragement, driving the team to the park and back, and doing everything in his power to help the men's team succeed. His positive attitude and great sense of humor were a huge asset to the men's team."
HEART OF GOLD AWARD: Ryan Chastain, from Mitchell, Ind., received the "Heart of Gold Award". It is presented to a runner who demonstrates the highest character, who doesn't compromise and who does the right thing even when nobody is looking. Ryan chose Lipscomb because he wanted to study Engineering so he could help go help impoverished countries and communities build bridges and other technical structures to improve lives.
"That gives some insight into Ryan's heart for people," said Taylor. "As a member of the team and as a team captain he leads by example and cares about each member of the team and how the team is impacting the University, the community and the world."
TOTAL COMMITMENT AWARD: Ryan Chastain also was given the "Total Commitment Award" which is given to the person "that did it right, did it all and did all the little things".
"Ryan certainly has athletic talent and that has helped him improve dramatically over the past year and a half," said Taylor. "However, Ryan's work ethic and willingness to do everything he needs to do mentally and physically are a just as big a part of his success.
"From getting his sleep, to striving for academic success, to all aspects of training, he gives his best and expects the whole team to do the same. Ryan has been a great example of what it takes to be excellent."
FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD: Nathan Brame. From Radford, Va., finished second on the team in most meets this year and was easily the top freshman on the team. He ran an 8000m time of 26:07, the second fastest time on the team. He also earned All-Atlantic Sun Freshman team honors. Nathan is only the second runner in Lipscomb history to earn a spot on the A-Sun All-Freshman team (Ryan Chastain was the first).
"Nathan has a bright future for the Bisons," said Taylor.
ATHLETE OF THE YEAR AWARD: Ryan Chastain was the No. 1 runner for Lipscomb's men in every race this year. He ran under 25 minutes for 8000m for the second year in a row and served as a team captain. Ryan won the Vanderbilt Invitational, the first cross country individual victory in the NCAA division I era for Lipscomb. He also earned All-Atlantic Sun First Team honors with a sixth place finish in the conference championships, becoming the first member of the Lipscomb Men's Cross Country team to earn All A-Sun honors. He owns the Lipscomb school record for 8000m at 24:48.
TEAM CAPTAINS: Ryan Chastain, Andrew Shankles, Clint Carter
MEN'S SEASON WRAP-UP: In 2008 a young Lipscomb men's team finished sixth in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Throughout the season the men crushed their previous team times on courses Lipscomb had run before. With no less than three and often four freshmen in the top five, it was definitely a learning year for the men. The increase from high school 5-K to college 8-K was a transition for the freshmen men, the benefits of which will be realized more next year. It is a young team with a lot of promise and the ability to move up the conference rankings quickly.
2008 Men's Season Best 8-K Times:
Ryan Chastain 24:56
Nathan Brame 26:07
David Wolfe 26:25
Ben Fennell 26:26
Tyler Youngs 26:31

On the basketball court, where the rules are known, the goals are the same height at both ends, and the playing field is level, African Americans once again showed play "above the rim." Tim Duncan led the San Antonio Spurs to the championship, for the fourth time in nine years. Only 22 years old, LeBron James carried his team past the Detroit Pistons. And Tony Parker walked away with the MVP trophy for the finals.
Once again, an African American ballplayer finishes No. 1.
Unfortunately, though, that's not the only No. 1 ranking we have to think about. As Dr. Ron Walters of the University of Maryland recently reminded me, in a list he sent me headed "No. 1 Statistics of the Black Condition," African Americans have some other No. 1's we should deal with:
— No. 1 in the poverty rate
— No. 1 in the rate of incarceration
— No. 1 in victims of homicide
— No. 1 in victims of hate crimes
— No. 1 in mortgage-denial rates
— No. 1 in obesity and diabetes rates
— No. 1 in teachers in neighborhood classrooms with less than three years experience
— No. 1 in receiving the death sentence
— No. 1 in the unemployment line
— No. 1 in suspensions and expulsion
— No. 2 in percentage of Americans who do not have health care.
According to the Schott Report, seven of 10 Black youth are dropping out of high school in major cities like Chicago, New York and Miami.
There are about 20 Democrats and Republicans actively running for president in 2008, with a couple more in the wings — yet urban policy has been a "no-show" at the debates. For shame.
With jobs and capital flowing out, guns and drugs flowing in, dropout rates going up, and hope dropping, we have a crisis situation in Black America, especially among young Black males. This is not a new crisis, since the Kerner Report identified "two Americas, separate but unequal" almost four decades ago — but it is shameful that it remains an unsolved crisis.
And moving into some realm way beyond shameful, Katrina remains an open wound on the body politic of America.
The Republican candidates wallow in the whitewashed myth of Ronald Reagan, whom African Americans remember as the man who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, backed South African apartheid until the bitter end and opened his general election campaign against Jimmy Carter in 1980 by visiting the Neshoba County fair to talk about states' rights.
That's the same county in Mississippi where Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney were murdered during Freedom Summer. Reagan's symbolism was raw and ugly, and as clear as bigotry can be. Now he's the mythological mentor for a dozen GOP wannabes. They've abandoned George W. Bush, concluding that his Custer-like determination to "stay the course" in Iraq will leave massive Bush and Cheney millstones around their necks. They want to go back to Reagan instead — but not the real Reagan, the sanitized, whitewashed version.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, where is the candidate with an urban policy? John Edwards launched his campaign in New Orleans in an attempt to make poverty a serious subject for the campaign, but the media wants to talk about his haircuts more than his poverty plans. When Dennis Kucinich brought up fair trade in the last debate, the media moderators quickly changed the subject. And notice the lack of serious response when Barack Obama brought up the "quiet riots" in our cities.
Where is the prison reform agenda? Who is brave enough to take on the prison-industrial complex, which spends more per inmate than is spent per public school student? Who will challenge our failed, wasteful and unfair drug policies, which have led to so many young African Americans in jail? Who will restore the right to vote of felons, to help them become full citizens again, and register our high school seniors as they graduate? Who will call for full employment, for summer jobs for our youth and public service jobs for the not-so-youthful? Who will challenge assault weapons and the arms trade? Who will treat Africa like a partner, at long last?
Who has the vision to set a public policy agenda for an America that is becoming more diverse, more multicultural with each passing year? Within a generation, the Democratic Party is likely to be a majority-minority party.
Which candidate will set out the long-term vision that reflects that future? And which of the media outlets will actually take that agenda seriously? Twenty years ago, I called for bold leadership and a new direction. Aren't we overdue for both?
In July, we approach the 40th anniversaries of the 1967 riots in Newark and Detroit. It's time to go beyond anecdotes, stereotypes and idle opinion, and seriously revisit the Kerner Report and examine today's "two Americas." There is an unbroken line of despair that leads from those riots to our too-often-ignored, too-often-incarcerated, too-often-feared urban children of today. America is still No. 1 in too many areas of pain. With an open race, and so many candidates, isn't it time for a new vision for urban America?

Microcephaly is a condition in which a person's head size is much smaller than that of others of the same age and sex. Head size is measured as the distance around the top of the head. A smaller than normal size is determined using standardized charts.
Microcephaly most often occurs because the brain does not grow at a normal rate. The growth of the skull is determined by brain growth. Brain growth takes place while a baby is in the womb and during infancy.
Conditions that affect brain growth can cause smaller than normal head size. These include infections, genetic disorders, and severe malnutrition.
Genetic conditions that cause microcephaly include:
- Cornelia de Lange syndrome
Cri du chat syndrome
- Down syndrome
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome
- Seckel syndrome
- Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome
Trisomy 18
- Trisomy 21
Other problems that may lead to microcephaly include:
- Uncontrolled phenylketonuria (PKU) in the mother
- Methylmercury poisoning
Congenital rubella Congenital toxoplasmosis Congenital cytomegalovirus(CMV)
- Use of certain drugs during pregnancy, especially alcohol and phenytoin
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Most often, microcephaly is diagnosed at birth or during routine well-baby exams. Talk to your health care provider if you think your infant's head size is too small or not growing normally.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Most of the time, microcephaly is discovered during a routine exam. Head measurements are part of all
The health care provider will keep a record over time to determine:
- What is the head circumference?
- Is the head growing at a slower rate than the body?
- What other symptoms are there?
It may also be helpful to keep your own records of your baby's growth. Talk to your health care provider if you notice that the baby's head growth seems to be slowing down.
If your health care provider diagnoses your child with microcephaly, you should note that in your child's personal medical records.

Bloggerview #26: WineWiped
Every now and then I come across a wine blog that has a totally amazing and wonderful voice. I may not agree with everything she says, she has a way of talking too much and about things she doesn't understand, like the pressure I've been under lately, but Millie Ennial of WineWiped has a voice, loud and screechy, but a voice. I think she represents the best intentions of wine bloggers, she writes with passion and sincerity and knows enough to edit it out.
When did you begin blogging and why?
I began in late 1996. There weren't any blogs then, at least not on the Internet, so I wrote copious wine tasting notes on a roll of toilet tissue, a la Jack Kerouac. That's where my blog name comes from, WineWiped. Sadly my old blogs were destroyed in a food poisoning accident. I started to blog because I have something interesting to say about wine. And I say it over and over.
In two sentences, describe the focus of your blog.
Obtaining free wine. Obtaining free wine.
What sets your blog apart from the pack?
I have no interest in learning about wine, just writing about wine. I don't believe you have to know a lot about wine to be a wine blogger, that's just the same tired old elitism that's ruined the wine business for decades. I mean, really, when you want to learn about wine, about what wine to choose, are you going to listen to the same old guys who've been writing about wine for thirty years or are you going to ride the wave of democratization and listen to a gal who really loves the stuff. Oh, and I love kitties.
How would you characterize the growth in readership since you began your blog?
It's grown a lot since the Charmin days. Is this where I lie about how many hits my blog gets every month? 25,000. Many of them incarcerated.
Do you accept samples for review?
Wine, food, urine...whatever. What kind of moron doesn't accept samples? But I never promise a good review. Why, that wouldn't be ethical! But like all wine bloggers, I can promise a profoundly inexperienced and ignorant review, and that works out best for everyone. I don't really have the background or experience to have tasted widely, and my Charmin notes are somewhere in a septic tank, where they belong, so I just wing it. And I love wine. Rarely met one I didn't like. But don't worry, if one comes along I don't like I sure as hell won't tell anyone. Again, simple blogger ethics.
What kind of wine rating/review system do you use, and why?
I use the one-ply, two-ply and Ultra-Soft system because I think it expresses how most people feel about wine. A one-ply wine is fine but a little rough. Two-ply is very satisfying, putting it between your cheeks is memorable. And Ultra-Soft, well, those are wines you want to take extra time with, wines that make you flush with joy.
How do you fit the maintenance of your wine blog into your daily schedule?
I don't edit, I don't spellcheck, I don't fact check, I rarely read my comments and I don't think very long or hard about what I write. So it's easy.
Have you utilized any particular techniques to successfully market your blog?
Every post has a provocative title so that it pops up in search engines more often. This month I've posted, "Naked Cheerleaders," "Latest Celebrity Sex Tape," and "Grannies with Trannies." The last one got the coveted Ultra-Soft rating.
In your view, how, if at all, is wine blogging different than traditional wine writing for print?
Wine blogging is more better.
Which other wine blogs do you read regularly?
The list is almost too long! OK, I read Vinography for the pretty photos and because Alder knows how to get free handouts better than a legless Indian beggar. And I always check in on 1WineDude because he never uses any big words. And I love to read the blog over at Mutineer Magazine because it takes me back to when I was in grammar school and the unpopular kids had their own newspaper. BiggerThanYourHead is a must read, I'd say, particularly if you have a sleep disorder or feel a strong desire to experience waterboarding. I used to read HoseMaster of Wine, but he's become so bitter, like the finish of a one-ply wine, that I don't think anyone thinks he's funny any more.
Do you believe wine blogs have made any marked impact on the wine industry or wine culture?
I believe the entire future of the wine industry depends upon us. Print media is dead--will someone please bury Heimoff after you wipe that stupid smile off his face? Now that Parker is dead, and that secret, held tightly by Squires and Schildknecht and all the other wine Munchkins at The Wine Advocate, is finally getting out, people are going to go online before they make their wine purchases and read the recommendations of lonely bloggers before they go to Trader Joe's and spend their six bucks. Those wineries charging fifty bucks and more for their wines better wise up and start getting those samples out to bloggers! We are the wine culture. We are the voice of the consumer. We know the truth about wine writing--no one can dispute your opinion about taste so don't sweat the details.
Vacation: Paris or the Caribbean?
Are you hitting on me?
Pet: Dog or cat?
Isn't this a little personal, Tom?
Airplane reading: New Yorker or People?
Do these lines work in whiskey bars?
Car: Prius or BMW?
For God's sake, Tom, stop with the stupid questions! I'm not going to sleep with you.
Chablis or California Chardonnay?
I love the way you asked that. That sort of smoky, peaty tone in your voice...
Describe what you would have at your last meal.
Oh, that's so romantic, no one has ever asked me that before. I'd really like it if you were at my last meal. I'll be the appetizer if you'll be the entree.
What is Heaven like?
Oh, God, it's a lot like where your hand is right now.
If you could invite 4 people dead or alive to your fantasy dinner party, who would they be and who would bring the wine?
Shut up and kiss me, Fermentation Boy. I want you to eat my sugar while I create alcohol and finally release all the CO2 I've been saving for someone just like you.
What advice would you give to someone considering starting a wine blog?
Do it! Do it, Tom! Do it, do it, do it, do it...done already?

Lakers Fire Coach Brown!
Talk about anything general in the NBA here.
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
JSU2004 wrote:I couldn't agree with 32 more. We all figure the offense will be good, but the defense won't be nearly as bad as it was in Phoenix and New York. Even though I think Kobe is overrated as a defender, he gives 100% effort which is most important on defense. Ron Artest and D Howard are two defensive minded players. He also didn't have the 7 footers he has now protecting the rim.
Exactly. Now he has 2 giants protecting the rim if Kobe (and when Nash) gets beat.
Dwight and Pau might be the 1A and 1B bigs in this league that thrive at the pick and roll. Imagine a horns play (double screen) at the top of the key where Nash can get double the screens and either fall back on Pau's midrange or hit Dwight on the roll. They could tic-tac-toe from Nash out to Pau back in to Dwight. They could roll both big guys and have Nash hit Pau for the score or drop dunk it to Howard. They could use that intimidation to exploit guys backing off to help and Nash is still wet on the jumper. They could work a total middle crash out to the corners for wide open 3's; both Nash and Pau have the vision to hit open shooters. Literally, the 3 of them together is scary.
And if you're really getting trashed and you work a 2-3 to cover the middle up; try stopping Kobe getting his zone-buster on with spot up midrange J's from every angle. This offense has no weakness. Not even OKC or MIA has any chance of stopping them. You simply have to clog the paint and pray Kobe AND Nash AND Jamison have off-shooting nights. THIS is a team that could win 70 next year.

A call for the United Arab Emirates to consider allowing expatriates to apply for citizenship has sparked a debate about national identity in the Gulf Arab state, where foreigners outnumber the local population by more than five to one.
Sultan Sooud al-Qassemi, a member of one of the UAE's ruling families, is one of the federation's pre-eminent commentators and also one of the most well-known Twitter users in the Middle East, with more than 250,000 followers.
Qassemi's op-ed in a Dubai daily, suggesting that citizenship could be opened to long-time foreign residents who have contributed greatly to society, argued that Emirati society was ready for change.
"Perhaps it is time to consider a path to citizenship...that will open the door to entrepreneurs, scientists, academics and other hardworking individuals who have come to support and care for the country as though it was their own," he wrote in the Dubai daily, Gulf News, in September.
The subsequent outcry suggested that many of his compatriots feel otherwise.
A Twitter hashtag in Arabic, "this writer doesn't represent me", quickly grew to dozens of outraged tweets.
"Don't cozy up to foreigners at our country's expense," wrote one Twitter user under the name Saif Alneyadi. Many were bothered that Qassemi had written the article in English - with an eye presumably on a foreign audience - rather than to the Emirati people in Arabic.
UAE political scientist Abdulkhaleq Abdulla was a rare voice in support of Qassemi for bringing up the subject.
"I like a person who doesn't hesitate to take up the podium to speak up bravely on social and political issues, Sultan al Qassemi being a model," he wrote, to much Twitter abuse.
The objections ranged from worries about the added expense - the UAE spends tens of billions of dollars each year on free education, healthcare, housing loans and grants for its estimated 1.4 million citizens - to whether naturalized citizens could ever become true Emiratis.
But perhaps the biggest concern was what impact foreigners could have on the UAE's dynastic political system and conservative culture - based on deep-rooted tribal values that are already considered under threat.
Although Qassemi's suggestion has no chance of being implemented anytime soon, the reactions it stirred revealed a deep apprehension in a society that depends on foreigners as workers and for tourism but also tries to shield itself from becoming like them.
"Even without naturalizing people, the state of our national identity is already in a very bad shape," said businessman Abdullah al-Muhairi, 35.
The UAE is barely 40 years old, having come together in 1972 after living under British mandate for decades.
Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates and seat of the capital, funds much of the federal budget from huge oil revenues and regularly finances infrastructure and welfare projects in poorer emirates such as Ras al-Khaimah. Dubai generates much of its wealth from trade, tourism and financial services.
Before oil was discovered in 1950s, the mainly Sunni Muslim population lived in the desert or in small coastal towns, living off pearling and trade.
Only a few relics of that past remain among the ultra-modern skyscrapers and upscale malls, including the house of the Dubai ruler's grandfather, spice markets and wooden dhows which still sail with goods to Iran and Somalia.
The foreign population ranges from low-paid construction laborers, mostly from south Asia, living in camps on the outskirts of major cities, to top executives who receive generous tax-free salaries. Tourism brings in 10 million more every year to Dubai alone.
Foreigners are allowed to drink alcohol in hotels and wear bikinis on public beaches, but their attitudes and dress are a sharp contrast to locals who are abstemious and usually clad in traditional monochrome robes.
They are often accused of offending the country's values and occasionally prosecuted for breaking decency laws. In a recent case last November, a British woman and Irish man accused of engaging in sexual activities in a Dubai taxi were sentenced to three months in prison and then deportation.
In addition to the cultural differences, many UAE citizens find it hard to believe foreigners would be willing to accept the country's political structure.
Political power in the UAE passes from father to son or brother to brother within ruling families, some of whom are related. The Federal National Council (FNC), half of which is elected and half appointed, has limited parliamentary powers.
The country has so far not seen the popular protests that shook other parts of the Arab world in the past few years.
"After being granted citizenship, would political rights be the next step forward?" social commentator Jalal bin Thaneya wrote in a response to Qassemi in the Gulf News.
Muhairi, who ran unsuccessfully for an FNC seat from Ras al-Khaimah, said naturalized foreigners were not likely to share Emiratis' belief in the importance of stability above all else.
"We have no political parties, no political problems," he said. "We have political stability ... How do you guarantee that naturalization will maintain stability?"
The UAE already views the imbalance between the local and foreign populations as a threat to national security and has taken steps to tackle the issue, including financing marriage funds, investing in fertility clinics.
As of 2011, the country allows thousands of children born to foreign fathers and Emirati mothers to apply for citizenship.
FNC member Musabah al-Qetbi said granting citizenship to others could skew the country's population even more. He also questioned the newcomers' allegiances.
"How can new citizens be loyal to the country? Love of the homeland has very deep roots in every citizen," he said.
Qassemi told Reuters his purpose was only to ask that a process for citizenship be introduced, not open the door wide open to foreigners. He said he believed assimilating more people would enrich the UAE's culture and identity, not damage it.
"Some of the critics seem to be so insecure that they are worried that in 1,000 years their identity will be eroded."
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."
