Choosing Glasses and Sunglasses
The sun emits UV rays, and unprotected, prolonged exposure to these rays can cause serious vision problems. One simple solution to maintaining healthy vision is to use UV protective eyewear, such as sunglasses, no matter the season, location or activity. In certain parts of the country, it is even more important to wear sunglasses because of the increased UV rays they receive. These "UV danger zones" represent an increased risk for exposure. Below is a map showing the top 25 U.S. cities with the highest UV concentration in 2016:
The Vision Council used data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Weather Service to map out the 25 U.S. cities with the highest UV concentration in 2015. More than 50 U.S. cities were analyzed for solar radiation strength, season, climatic conditions, ozone concentration, cloudiness and elevation. For daily UV index levels, visit The Vision Council's website at www.missingsunglasses.com.
Whether wraparounds, rimless or studded with rhinestones, sunglasses are vital for shielding eyes from harmful UV rays and for diminishing glare that can cause distractions while driving, working, and playing.
There are two types of UV light – UVA and UVB rays. Unprotected, long-term exposure to either or both can lead to serious, debilitating vision problems. UVA and UVB rays reach the Earth's surface in one of three ways: directly from the sun, scattered through the open sky or reflected off surrounding environments. Once these UV rays pass through the atmosphere, our bodies and eyes are exposed to them immediately. Sunglasses and other eyewear offering protection from both UVA and UVAB rays will block UV radiation and shield the eyes. Whether you wear glasses or contacts, you also need to have sunglasses with lenses that are rated to filter UVA and UVB rays. Other lens options are also available based on personal preference, such as polarized lenses to prevent glare, or tints that offer more comfortable vision.

Several different types of sunglasses are available, depending on your needs and individual preferences.
Prescription sunglasses feature lenses that correct your vision and match the prescription provided by your eye care provider.
Non-prescription (plano) sunglasses are available at most retail outlets in a variety of styles, shapes, colors and price points to match every style and budget.
Larger frame sunglasses are an alternative to traditional sunglasses. Their increased size allows them to fit over prescription glasses.
Flip-up and clip-on sunglasses fasten to the top of frames for quick coverage in bright light. For maximum comfort, frames should fit securely on the face and head when pushed back. Look for spring-loaded hinges, which help glasses keep their shape, and full side-to-side coverage to restrict peripheral light.
Photochromic sunglasses or polarized lenses that adapt to different brightness levels and maximize visibility in low light or foggy conditions. Yellow, red and gray tints decrease distortion, whereas copper-tinted shades heighten contrast.

Nef Family Chair of Political Economy
The Nef Family Chair of Political Economy was established with a leadership gift to Augustana from Rudy and Marilyn Nef of Milbank, S.D. The position will advance the study of market economies and representative democracies, both within the campus community and in the general public. Dr. Robert E. Wright, acclaimed writer and economic historian, is the first holder of the Nef Family Chair of Political Economy. He helps instruct on business, economics, history, and government for the University.
Dr. Robert E. Wright received his BA in history from Buffalo State College in 1990, his MA in history from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1994, and his PhD from SUNY at Buffalo in 1997. Before coming to Augustana, Dr. Wright served as Clinical Associate Professor of Economics at the Stern School of Business, New York University. He was also a guest curator for the Museum of American Finance. Dr. Wright has written for Barron's, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Forbes.com, and other prominent publications. He has appeared on National Public Radio, C-SPAN, and BBC, as well as several South Dakota stations.
In addition to editing three series of primary source documents for Pickering and Chatto Publishers, Dr. Wright has authored or co-authored more than 20 books, most recently "Little Business on the Prairie: Entrepreneurship, Prosperity, and Challenge in South Dakota," a study of the state's economic history through the lenses of its public policies, politics, and institutions of governance. Other recent titles are Corporation Nation (2014) available from the University of Pennsylvania Press, Guide to U.S. Economic Policy (2014), and Genealogy of American Finance (2015). One Nation Under Debt: Hamilton; Jefferson and the History of What We Owe (New York: McGraw-Hill, 2008), explores the untold history of America's first national debt arising from the immense sums needed to conduct the American Revolution; Financial Founding Fathers (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006), is a compelling account of the nation's early finances; and Fubarnomics: A Lighthearted, Serious Look at America's Economic Ills (Prometheus, 2010), has been called "a welcome new addition to the societal | economic | political discourse that is raging now."
In 2010, Dr. Wright established the Thomas Willing Institute for the Study of Financial Markets, Institutions, and Regulations at Augustana University to promote the public's understanding of the financial system.

Kids in Crisis gets $10,000 grant
Kids in Crisis, a round-the-clock crisis counseling center and emergency shelter, has received a $10,000 grant from the Fairfield County Community Foundation to fund the operation of the Safe Haven for Kids program, which provides comprehensive counseling and emergency shelter for Fairfield County children and teens.
Since its founding in 1978, Kids in Crisis has helped area families and children through free, round-the-clock crisis counseling and outreach provided by trained, on-site counselors. When home is not a safe or appropriate place for children to stay, they are welcomed into the Safe Haven for Kids program, which shelters up to 20 children, ages newborn to age 17, at the Kids in Crisis campus in Cos Cob.
While temporarily residing at Kids in Crisis, the children receive intensive psychological and therapeutic individual and group counseling, comprehensive medical care provided by a full-time nurse practitioner, and in-depth educational support all amid a loving, supportive family-like environment.
"We are deeply grateful to the Fairfield County Community Foundation for its ongoing support of our Safe Haven for Kids program," Shari Shapiro, executive director of Kids in Crisis, said. "Together, we can continue providing families in our area with the care and services they so desperately need."
Since its founding in 1978, Kids in Crisis has helped more than 118,000 Connecticut children and families; last year, more than 6,000 children and families in Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, Norwalk, Ridgefield, Stamford, Weston, Westport and Wilton received assistance from the organization.

Pet Parties – The Latest Craze
As the baby-boomers are taking the lead, in ever-growing numbers, as pet owners, so is pet spoiling and the 'special pet events' phenomenon. Baby-boomers, who are primarily empty-nesters are replacing their grown children with pets and spoiling those pets as they used to spoil their children.
Pet parties are one of the newest crazes; birthday and holiday parties with and for pets. They include activities and goodies for both the pets and their humans. Pet 'birthday' parties top the list, especially for dogs and then cat parties rank as a distant second. They vary from a group of pet owners and their pets going to lunch or dinner at a pet friendly restaurant to parties at the park or backyard house events. Pet-care facilities (doggy daycare sites and pet hotels) are another option to consider if you don't have room for a home party.
As with Halloween… with pet 'dress-up events' or just having your pet at a conventional gathering or party, there are lots of factors to consider. Will the pets on the guest list get along? Are your human guests pet focused enough and willing to keep an eye on their pet as well as maintain a pet positive environment at the party for everyone, while still having a good time themselves? And is your pet the type who likes being around other animals and groups of people, or is this party really for you?
There are many restaurants that are pet friendly these days so will cordon off an area, as they do for kiddy parties, for your pet event; some even supply decorations and goodies.
But if you prefer to do it yourself and go all out, here are a few suggestions:
Indoor Party Activities:
• Pick a fun theme. Party favors and decorations are now available for most types of pet parties.
• Have each doggy (kitty, bird, monkey, pot bellied pig, etc) guest come in costume and have a mini-fashion show or have your guests and their humans come in matching costumes! Give prizes for best costume(s), funniest, most original, etc.
• Bring Kong type toys, one for each doggy guest, filled with cheese or peanut butter; catnip or tuna for the kitties.
• Have plenty of training treats, snacks and biscuits on hand and hold contests for best sit, stay, shake, roll over… (perhaps for most finicky for the felines?).
• Bring a good supply of rope toys for a doggy tug of war! You'll find that sometimes the humans will participate as well.
• Paw mural painting can be done inside or out as long as you cover the floor well.
Outdoor Party Activities:
• A silly pet trick contest is a great event, indoors and out, but outside parties lend themselves to a greater variety of tricks. Give a prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd or just for first prize and then give a treat to the others for participation.
• If you have mostly the same types (or breeds) of pets or groups that are the same sizes, dog (or piggy and kitty… if you can motivate them) races can be fun. (Dachshund or Chihuahua races are always funny.)
• Bring enough balls so there is at least one ball or Frisbee per doggy guest and play free-for-all fetch or wands with fake birds, small balls or catnip toys tied at the end for the cats.
• Agility equipment events like a tunnel for the dogs to race through is a good addition; make sure you have lots of training bits or other treats to offer them when they run through successfully!
• Water activities like swimming events in the pool for certain dog breeds during the warm season are possible activities to consider, or bobbing for biscuits using a small tub or kiddie pool with water and then tossing in some biscuits. Whoever gets them out the quickest wins!
• Also, if at the park, make sure you consider safety issues like portable fencing or stakes to attach leashes, so the dogs and their humans can relax for awhile.
• Make sure there is plenty of water – Provide separate bowls for each pet guest (possibly personalized for them to take home) filled with mineral, filtered or even Smart™ water.
• Order goodies from the local or online doggy (pet) bakeries and party suppliers, or better yet bake them yourself.
• Have an outdoor bar-b-que and fix a special dinner for both the pet guests and their humans with their own grilled boneless steaks or chicken for the doggies or tuna and salmon for the kitties!
• And of course, you must have a birthday cake! You can make it yourself or order one from a local or online pet bakery. A small slice of carrot cake or really any other cake as long as it doesn't contain chocolate could be served to most pets as well their humans at a special occasion, but in most cases you will probably want a special one for the pets and one for their humans.
• There are also many human goodies (candy and baked goods) shaped like pets, bones, or pet articles that can add fun to the party.
• A goodie bag to take home filled with unique biscuits, doggy ice cream, dehydrated meats (dehydrated fish, a catnip toy, cat grass or grass seeds and gourmet cat desserts for the kitties), and a small pet safe toy, along with their personalized water bowl is a nice touch.
Make sure you label the food appropriately, especially at a buffet-style meal, to ensure that no people accidentally bite into a dog or cat treat or that the pets don't get too many human treats!
Regardless of the style of the party or the range of food served, you will need to consider both the fun of all the party guests as well as the safety of the food you choose for the people and the dogs (cats or birds, etc) at the event. You might want to skip serving chocolate and onions completely, keep alcohol to a minimum and have a special (pet free) smoking area to keep the guest of honor and friends from eating the butts. Discussing allergies and safety matters of the pets, children and adults at the party in advance will prevent any surprises for the day of the party, as well, perhaps as part of the invitation RSVP request.
Kids have will have fun participating in the games and giving out treats to the winners, so include them if you have any children on your guest list. But be sure to consider supervision, and I would recommend limiting the number of children present. If you do have children or grandchildren at home, include them in the preparation and give them jobs and responsibilities at the party.
And finally, make sure you have a way of capturing all this fun on film! A volunteer photographer or videographer is great for memories and someone taking Polaroid's for the costume contest, to send home with guests, is always a great touch!
Future articles will include throwing a 'fancy' doggy party and 'pet' party recipes. But for now, for those of you baking and making the party food on your own, here is a fun recipe for your human guests (and a small sliver, minus the Tootsie Rolls, won't hurt the pets either):
(Several variations of this recipe can be found online)
1 spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
2 large packages vanilla instant pudding mix, prepared
1 large package vanilla sandwich cookies
green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 new kitty litter pan
1 new plastic kitty litter pan liner
1 new pooper scooper
Prepare cake mixes (or scratch cake) and bake according to directions (any size pans).
Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix until completely colored.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. Important: mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it too soggy. Combine gently.
Line a new, clean kitty litter box. Put the cake/pudding/cookie mixture into the litter box.
Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly on top of everything — this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.
Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around for a truly disgusting effect!
Have a great party!

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
"All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily." ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love

Great Book for Children and Pet Lovers… And a Perfect Holiday GiftOne More Pet Emily loves animals so much that she can't resist bringing them home. When a local farmer feels under the weather, she is only too eager to "feed the lambs, milk the cows and brush the rams." The farmer is so grateful for Emily's help that he gives her a giant egg... Can you guess what happens after that? The rhythmic verse begs to be read aloud, and the lively pictures will delight children as they watch Emily's collection of pets get bigger and bigger.

If You Were Stranded On An Island…A recent national survey revealed just how much Americans love their companion animals. When respondents were asked whether they'd like to spend life stranded on a deserted island with either their spouse or their pet, over 60% said they would prefer their dog or cat for companionship!

The Norse gods are off to a decent, though not divine, start in "Thor," the latest movie in Marvel Comics' big-screen expansion of its superhero pantheon.
Held to a more brisk running time than some superhero epics that swell to Elizabethan stage proportions, "Thor" nevertheless manages to cram in a lot of Shakespearean intrigue.
Director Kenneth Branagh, whose big-screen Shakespeare adaptations include "Hamlet" and "Henry V," pits father against son and brother against brother, with loads of palatial pride, envy, rivalry and resentment driving the action.
The human part of the equation often is where "Thor" comes up short, as in the puny humans of whom the god, played by statuesque Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, supposedly becomes so fond.
Fresh off her Academy Award win for "Black Swan," Natalie Portman as Thor's mortal love interest is a surprisingly insubstantial presence. We have to be told by a colleague that Portman's Jane Foster is a "master physicist," but there's little in the actress' demeanor to make you believe it.
Thor is the god who fell to Earth, but why he wants to stay among these little Earthlings never feels genuine, given the far cooler place he calls home.
That place is Asgard, the dwelling of superpowered beings who, in Marvel's reworking of mythology, became objects of worship among the ancient Norsemen.
Hemsworth's Thor is in line to inherit the throne from his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), over his scheming brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston). But after Thor defies his dad and leads a mission of revenge against old enemies on the ice planet Jotunheim, Odin strips his cocky son of his power and his mighty hammer, banishing him to Earth to learn some humility.
In the New Mexico desert, Thor falls in with scientist Jane, her mentor (Stellan Skarsgard) and their wisecracking assistant (Kat Dennings, who keeps the movie lively with her comic timing and delivery).
The Asgard sets are impressive, but while the celestial setting of this heavenly dominion gleams, it often looks fake, even cartoonish. "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" have presented much better fantasy lands.
The action sequences also are muddled at times, though an armored guy smashing things with a giant hammer certainly is a fresh take on superhero violence.
The plot - credited to three screenwriters and two story developers, among them Marvel Comics scribe J. Michael Straczynski - is a bit unfocused, since it not only has to relate Thor's journey but also help set up next year's superhero ensemble tale "The Avengers."
That film will team Thor with Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo's Incredible Hulk, Chris Evans' Captain America and other Marvel heroes.
The bridge in "Thor" is Clark Gregg, reprising his "Iron Man" role as Agent Coulson, an operative for SHIELD, the outfit that assembles the superhero dream team (stick through the "Thor" end-credits for a teaser featuring a prominent member of "The Avengers" cast).
While Jane, Coulson and the other humans gradually learn who Thor is and what he's capable of, battles rage on among the Asgardians (Ray Stevenson as one of Thor's raucous comrades and Idris Elba as the realm's vigilant gatekeeper are standouts) and the frost giants of Jotunheim (with Colm Feore as their coolly menacing leader).
It's a lot to pack into one movie, particularly when the battle expands to Earth, where an Asgard weapon is unleashed. The story flits fickly back and forth, but Hemsworth has true star power, a regal presence that helps keep the disparate elements stitched together.
He's also quite funny, tossing off imperious quips with charm and roguish slyness. And there are beefcake moments where his rippling musculature puts the bare-chested wolf pack of the "Twilight" flicks to shame.
Born to superhuman power, Thor can naturally do things that Downey's guy in a metal suit or Evans' soldier on super-steroids could only dream of. So it'll be interesting to see how Marvel overseers and "Avengers" director Joss Whedon handle the division of labor among the superhero squad.
Thor certainly does humble down to a more collegial attitude in his debut run, but "The Avengers" should make for some engaging alpha-male, or alpha-Marvel, dynamics.
'Thor' rumbles, never quite roars

When putting shoes on for your dog, please make sure that the entire paw is pushed into the shoe (check by feeling bottom of booties) and tongue of the shoe is not twisted before zipping it up. This allows for maximum comfort. The shoe zipper has to be fully zipped and the velcro should be securely fastened around ankles for proper usage. Note that if your dog has not worn shoes before, it may take some time to get use to. We suggest wearing the shoes for about an hour every day for a week to help your dog break into the new booties. Your dog may walk funny or stand or sit still. Encourage them to move around and feel more comfortable with wearing shoes. Your dog should always be supervised and should not be left unattended when wearing shoes. Please do not put shoes on your dog when paws and ankles are wet or injured or have any other medial conditions. Do not leave shoes on your dog for long periods of time (more than 5 hours) as the heat may cause discomfort and irritation to your dog.

Convoy Riding
Convoy Riding is a feature in the Grand Theft Auto IV episode The Lost and Damned. It involved leading or following a group of Lost Brotherhood bikers to reach a destination.
Early in the game, protagonist Johnny Klebitz, will usually follow a group of bikers led by the chapter leader Billy Grey. The player is required to stay close to the group of bikers as they move to their destination during missions. When following bikers, every minute or so a Lost Brotherhood logo will appear in the convoy somewhere. The player can move their bike into the logo and stay there for a few seconds to have their health and bike health restored. If the player already has full health then they will receive body armor instead. The player can hear the bikers talk if they stay in formation and if the player goes ahead of the convoy leader then the leader will yell at the player to get back in formation.
Later in the game following Billy's arrest, Johnny as the new chapter head will lead the chapter. This operates the same as following except that any bikers that the player leads will follow the player instead. If they fall too far behind then they will respawn near the convoy again.
When either leading or following a convoy during certain missions Johnny Klebitz may suggest that the group "Drop The Hammer" in which the formation will end and the player must race the other bikers to the location. Whether the player wins or loses the mission continues.
Missions involving convoy riding
Depending on the progress of the story, the player must either ride in a convoy, or lead the chapter. Also requested backup from Terry, and Clay will see that the player must lead. Below is a list of missions involving following, racing, and leading (optional backup isn't listed):
- Following
- Racing
- Leading

I watched it with my father and grandfather, they became so angry with that team on that day, that I became very resentful of the Pats for years. Things happened that day that I don't like to talk about, but I hated them for making my dad and grandfather do the things that they did.
I started watching them in the 1-15 season and thought, "What a way to start over, 1-15 is close enough to 0-16, I'll consder the slate clean."
I've been hooked ever since.

I have put a lot of thought into it and there were two basic reasons.
First, because I was a fat little kid and second, that Tommy Knowell got an old Philadelphia Eagles helmet and a set of shoulder pads.
Of course, his little brother and I borrowed the equipment and I discovered that while I couldn't outrun any of my friends-- I could knock them down. I decided that I liked football.
Soon thereafter my father started watching an AFL playoff game in, I think 1964, between the Bills and Pats and I was fascinated by the fact that they played in the snow, the two huge fullbacks in the persons of Jim Nance (us) and Cookie Gilchrist (Bills) and yes, the violence.
I couldn't believe the power of these two guys and related them to the Fantastic Four's Ben Richards AKA The Thing vs. The Incredible Hulk. They scared me and I liked it.
My father wasn't a huge fan as far as I knew, but really liked Crazy Larry Eisenhauer and his lack of NFL/NY Giants predjudice probably allowed me to adopt the Pats as my team which I did from that point on.
It was tough to follow them back then but I watched every game I could and collected cards exactly like the ones Annihilus has featured on the memorabilia page. I pored over the Sports pages and read everything I could about the team and this was when I was approximately 8 years old.
I finally went to my first two games at Harvard Stadium in 1970 back when the Pats were the bastard stepchildren of the entire newly-merged NFL. We weren't any good but, that didn't matter to me much, because they were always my team and I have never wavered for a minute.
When I was about 14 I used to call up a Sports talk show that was hosted by Pats cornerback Darryl Johnson. I told him to watch out for a rookie guard named Sam Adams. Johnson laughed at me then but, who's laughing now? Adams is on the Pats all-time team.
Following Pats football is the one constant in my life.
People come and go, I've changed locations a half dozen times but, from the time I was a porky kid, through adolescence, the drug days as a teenager and as an adult my addiction to Patriots football has been the one constant no matter how much people used to laugh at me back when we sucked as a team.
I could go on longer but, I've said enough.
I love the Pats and always have.

Since the year starting when they made their 2nd Super Bowl in 1996 where the immortal Max Lane played a game which will go down in the history books as a great "cardboard-like" performance against Reggie White.

I know a few guys that actually purchased a new TV and after the XX superbowl one put his foot into the screen, his second time the first was te Radiers/ hamilton game.
What I meant was with Bledsoe and Parcels came coverage in a positive light, they were no longer overshadowed by the other 3 teams in town and actually got coverage. A lot of games were not on TV and as a kid how else can you watch them. Parcels shows up and TV helped develope the addiction of the fans.
Yes, a lot of "fans"started to watch because of the success, just like they went to the Celtics in the 80's, the Bruins in the 70's or the Sox of "67 but the real fans remained passionate about their Team despite the 1 and 15 season.
I was at the Radiers game in foxboro in 1978 as a 12 year old with my Brother and his friends but I had an onterest prior to that and that only cemented my desire to follow them.

Oh geez, I gotta go through this again?
Wisconsin-born, Wisconsin-raised. My earliest memories are from the early 1980s, when the Packers were lucky to make .500 in a season. Yet even then, the Packers were everything football in my family. It wasn't easy being a GB fan in those days, and a fair number of my people in my generation defected to be Vikings fans or Cowboys fans or whatever team was good in those days.
As grade school went on, I lost interest in football. I didn't even watch the Super Bowl. I don't know why.
It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I started getting interested in football again, and I don't even know why I did, I just did. The following fall I started college, and EVERYONE watched the Packers on Sunday. It was just what you did. And I really got into football again, although the only team that interested me yet was the Packers.
And yet...
As the year wore on, I noticed a gnawing desire to find something to set myself apart from my peers. I wanted to be different, but not that different - i.e. I wasn't going to turn into a hippie like a lot of guys on campus. I wanted to be a nonconforming conformist, dig?
I took my example from two of my cousins. Their dad is an unshakable Green Bay fan, yet his two sons are fans of other teams - one likes the Steelers, the other the Rams. How it happened was they were watching Super Bowl XIV, and one decided he liked the "Steel Curtain" Steelers, and his brother, out of spite, started rooting for the Rams.
I decided that I, too, should have a different team to root for. However, I was still too much of a Packer fan to turn my back on them, so I decided to have a "second favorite" team. Someone I could root for, catch one of their games now and then, and just kinda follow in the background while all everyone else could talk about was the Packers.
But who? I considered a number of teams - the Rams, the Buccaneers, the Eagles, the Chiefs, the Giants, even the Jets, and I nearly picked the Seahawks. Instead, I picked the New England Patriots. Why?
Well, first I thought it was neat that, through their name, they represented a region rather than just a single city or state. Now of course, many NFL teams have followings outside the specific city in their name, but only the Patriots refer to themselves that way.
Second, I had always wanted to visit Boston. I thought it was a great city just from seeing it in the background of the TV series Spenser: For Hire , which I used to watch all the time.
Third, I had an affection for the region because I enjoy Stephen King's books.
Fourth, I particularly wanted a team in the AFC, since I thought it was really looked down upon compared to the NFC (which, at the time, it definitely was.)
Fifth, I just plain liked the colors.
The following summer, I bought my first Patriots hat - at a store in San Antonio, Texas.
Eventually came the inevitable question - "So who ya gonna root for if the Packers play the Patriots in the Super Bowl?"
"Yeah right," I said, "like THAT will ever happen."
Well, when it DID happen less than two years later, I tried to root for both teams. It didn't work.
But after Green Bay won Super Bowl XXXI, I found myself less and less interested in the Packers and more and more interested in the Patriots. I guess it was that Green Bay had made it all the way, so I didn't feel it was as hard to stick with them.
In fact, the first regular season NFL game I ever went to was a Patriots game (against the Vikings at Minnesota) on Nov. 2, 1997.
And, over time, New England just became my "number one" team. Today I hardly even follow the Packers.
Wow, huh?

I was 16, and it was a snowy Sunday with nothing much on, so I decided to watch a football game. Surprisingly, it was very easy to catch on, in regards to the downs, yardage, etc.. I was hooked on the Pats. My husband than boyfriend, for my eighteenth birthday took me to Sullivan Stadium on Dec. 14th, to celebrate my birthday. I froze my ass off, but I loved it. I've lived through the good and the bad, and their are times that I have to leave the room when the points are close, and the flashbacks to the old Pats subconsciously come through. I know it's different now, but after all those years of close losses, I think I've been trained like Pavlov's dogs, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. The Pats have and always will be number 1 with me.

Sounds a lot like my story. 9 years old in 1992, my family wasn't particularly into football. Turned on the TV one Sunday afternoon and a Pats-Falcons game was on. I figured, hey, New England's right next door to here, why not pull for them? The team got blown away as I recall, something like 24-0, but I didn't care. I came back to watch the next week's game. And the one after that. And so on.

Must be that's what we have in common, Hawgie. At least YOU understand that I will NEVER lose my passion as a BILLS fan... it's been the one constant in my life (unless of course they move the team)...
I still cling to the hope that they will hoist one Lombardi before I die. And you think YOU had it tough during the "tough years". Try living through four SB losses and still hold your head up high.
You have to REALLY show some strength of character to endure what BILLS fans who have stuck by their team since 59-60 have had to endure.

Hell, up until 1999, Buffalo had appeared in 6 championship games to the Pats 2 (with a better winning percentage: 33% to 0%).
He didn't look these up, but Annihilus believes these stats are correct. Annihilus wonders what the combined overall win-loss record for our two clubs is (you know - to garner misery factor bragging rights).
Of course, we all know who the more miserable fans are these days.

The misery index in Buffalo is off the Richter scale these days, no matter what the overall record is between our two rival clubs.
I must say that I was very glad when realignment occurred that the BILLS were left to fight with the PhinZ, Patriots, and Jests. It would be unthinkable to break up our good ol' AFL family.
And now the ties (and brotherly like resentment) run even deeper since you got the best of us with Dreadslow. Milloy.... I think he had proven his worth to our club, so I'll call that one a draw.
My jollies are coming from the overcrowded sandbar these days, where the PHINz fans are living in dreamland with their savior Nicky and the return of the bongmeister. Our DOLLy trolls are cracking me up.
Probably the only group of fans that make me laugh harder these days are the CowGirls. Our neighbors across the road had a BBQ with family visiting from Texas. This kid walks by me with a CowGirl jersey on and as LOUD and ROWDY as I can be I shrieked "BLEW DREADSLOW" and started ROLLING on the grass laughing hysterically. Poor kid was horrified.

In 1997 I went to a Packers-Patriots preseason game at Green Bay. Our seats were near these old codgers who complained through the whole damn game about how "now everyone wanted to come to the games" and all us new fans "didn't know how to act at a football game" and how we "weren't here for the glory years."
Finally I got sick of it and told one of them and said, "Sorry sir, I can't help it that I was born after Eisenhower was president."

LOL True...
No doubt the youngsters get sick of hearing about the good ol' days. I remember when I was a kid (yes, in the PRE-Kennedy era) I used to get sick of the old people talking about what it was like during the depression and how they had to walk to school for three miles in a raging bliZZard.
Yep, the generation gap. Bad news for the young ones is that there are SO many baby boomers that you'll be forced to hear it a LOT more of it than we had to endure...
Have y'all noticed how OLD everyone seems to look now days? LOL.... for every young kid I see, there are four grandmas standing in line ahead of me in the grocery store.

I was a Patriots fan by birthright (you try growing up as the youngest of five, four of us boys, and with Hawg as the oldest and NOT be one).
But the 1976 team put the team into my bloodstream for good.
There have been some great teams in my life...The Big, Bad Bruins, the 1975 Red Sox, the Super Bowl Champs x 3, too many Celtics teams to list...but nothing ever feels quite like your first love.
That team was coming off a 3-11 season and the crushing disappointment of JIm Plunkett's Patriots career and were going with the pre-folk hero Steve Grogan.
Without looking it up, I can tell you that they lost the first game. In Week 2, they beat perennial powerhouse Miami. Next, they shocked defending champ Pittsburgh, and the Patriot Ledger ran the classic headline "Grogan's Heroes." Next up was undefeated Oakland, and the Pats shocked the football world by annihilating them 48-17. I swear I'm not looking this up.
The 1976 Patriots went 11-3, won the Wild Card, and made their first ever NFL playoff appearancewhere they played the Raidahs, who lost only that one game all season.
And nothing makes you love a team more than having your heart broken when they play valiantly but get jobbed. Stupid Ben Dreith.

The appointment of Negro, follows this month's move to bring in David Flitterman from invesment company VF Partners to take up the role of chairman for Gamesa North America.
In a statement, Gamesa said Flitterman and Negro will be charged with building the company's business in Canada, Mexico and Central America. It added that Negro was behind Gamesa's recent $900 million four project deal with Canada power company Algonquin Power.
Negro joined Gamesa in 2002 and has held roles as corporate director of wind farm solutions and sales director with the development and wind farm sales unit. He also holds a degree in industrial engineering.
Speaking about the appointment, Flitterman said: "Negro has great technical skills and a far-reaching understanding of Gamesa and the international wind energy industry, specifically that of the United States. I am delighted that he is joining us in building our presence in this strategic market."

Willie Geist, co-host of MSNBC's political show "Morning Joe," is joining the "Today" show as co-host of its third hour.
"I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. I'm humbled," he told hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer on air Wednesday, fondly citing 60 years of the NBC morning show's history.
"To be some small part of that… it's completely humbling," he said.
Geist has regularly filled in for Matt Lauer since 2010, but now he'll join Natalie Morales and Al Roker on the show's 9 a.m. ET hour beginning Nov. 12.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
His appointment is effectively a delayed replacement of Guthrie, who hosted that hour until she was named the show's co-host with Lauer earlier this year.
Geist is giving up his stint hosting MSNBC's 5:30 a.m. ET newscast "Way Too Early," which he conceived three years ago, to move over to "Today." A new host, still yet to be determined, will take over "Way Too Early."
He still will co-host, however, the 6 a.m. hour of "Morning Joe" as he has since 2007.

NASA's Maven Spacecraft Enters Mars Orbit
Explore to Study Red Planet's Atmosphere

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—NASA's Maven spacecraft entered orbit around Mars for an unprecedented study of the red planet's atmosphere following a 442 million-mile journey that began nearly a year ago.
The robotic explorer successfully slipped into orbit around the red planet late Sunday night.
"I think my heart's about ready to start again," Maven's chief investigator, Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado, said early Monday. "All I can say at this point is, 'We're in orbit at Mars, guys!'"
Now the real work begins for the $671 million mission, the first dedicated to studying the Martian upper atmosphere and the latest step in NASA's bid to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s.
Flight controllers in Colorado will spend the next six weeks adjusting Maven's altitude and checking its science instruments, and observing a comet streaking by at relatively close range. Then in early November, Maven will start probing the upper atmosphere of Mars. The spacecraft will conduct its observations from orbit; it isn't meant to land.
Scientists believe the Martian atmosphere holds clues as to how Earth's neighbor went from being warm and wet billions of years ago to cold and dry. That early wet world may have harbored microbial life, a tantalizing question yet to be answered.
NASA launched Maven, the 10th U.S. mission sent to orbit the red planet, last November from Cape Canaveral. Three earlier missions failed and until the official word came of success late Sunday night, the entire team was on edge.
"I don't have any fingernails any more, but we've made it," said Colleen Hartman, deputy director for science at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "It's incredible."
The spacecraft was traveling at more than 10,000 mph when it hit the brakes for the so-called orbital insertion, a half-hour process. The world had to wait 12 minutes to learn the outcome once it occurred because of the lag in receiving signals from the spacecraft.
"Wow, what a night. You get one shot with Mars orbit insertion, and Maven nailed it tonight," said NASA project manager David Mitchell.

Maven joins three spacecraft already circling Mars, two American and one European. And the traffic jam isn't over: India's first interplanetary probe, Mangalyaan, will reach Mars in two days and aim for orbit. Mr. Jakosky wished the team well.
Mr. Jakosky, who is with the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, hopes to learn where all the water on Mars went, along with the carbon dioxide that once comprised an atmosphere thick enough to hold moist clouds.
The gases may have been stripped away by the sun early in Mars' existence, escaping into the upper atmosphere and out into space. Maven's observations should be able to extrapolate back in time, Mr. Jakosky said.
Maven, short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission, will spend at least one Earth year—about half a Martian one—collecting data. Its orbit will dip as low as 78 miles above the Martian surface as its eight instruments make measurements. The craft is as long as a school bus, from solar wingtip to tip, and as hefty as an SUV.
Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT -1.03% , which made Maven, is operating the mission from its control center at Littleton, Colorado.

When I first got married, I could not bake chicken for the life of me. No matter what temperature I baked it at or for how long, when I served it, it would still be pink (or even bloody) in the middle. After almost 8 years of marriage, I have finally perfected a baked chicken recipe that is simple and healthy. This recipe can be adapted to accommodate any type or amount of vegetables you have on hand. I served this with the quickest dinner rolls from scratch I've ever made before (see recipe here).
Roasted chicken thighs with root vegetables (adapted from here)
The amounts listed below are what I had in the fridge.
8 chicken thighs (I used skinless, boneless.)
2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
2 kohlrabi, peeled and cubed
non-stick cooking spray
5-6 small, unpeeled new potatoes, cubed
1 onion, cut into large pieces
1 T salt
2 t dried thyme
1 1/2 t ground black pepper
1/4 ground nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Mix salt, thyme, 1½ teaspoons pepper, and nutmeg in small bowl.
3. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Place vegetables in the pan.
4. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture on the vegetables.
5. Lay the chicken over the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture on the chicken.
6. Cover with foil and bake until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve.

CALGARY — Twenty-five years on, Calgary's Olympic legacy still shines bright.
Former Olympians, dignitaries and curious spectators gathered at the Olympic Oval on Wednesday to mark the 25th anniversary of the 1988 Winter Games.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi, former Canadian Olympic Committee president Roger Jackson and Olympic speedskater Kristina Groves led a mini torch relay to light the original cauldron from 1988, which now sits just outside the Olympic Oval — a flame that will be burning for the next 16 days.
Many shared their memories of 1988, where they were and what they were doing, while stressing that looking back on Calgary's legacy is also about looking forward to the city's future as a community of volunteers.
"We've all been blessed by the legacy and all these beautiful buildings left by the games," said Nenshi.
"But the legacy of proving what we can do as a community and as volunteers and what we can show the world is the true legacy of 1988.
"Let's continue to do that as we build the next great city of Calgary."
The event's crowd was dotted with the famed multi-coloured Sunice jackets worn by volunteers in 1988, as well as the fringed red-and-white parkas worn by the Canadian Olympic team.
"It's just so great to be out here wearing this again and having all of these great memories flood back," said Anna Stevens, who worked as a ski hill volunteer in 1988.
Frank King, former chief executive of the Winter Games, says because of the legacy of Calgary's facilities, including the Olympic Oval which has since produced more than 150 world record skating times, Calgarians continue to ask him whether our city could host again.
"People ask why don't we do it again, and I say we could because we have the facilities," he said.
King admitted the International Olympic Committee tends to favour cities that have never before hosted, always wanting to see newer, high-tech facilities being built.
But King did say if a city that won a bid had to turn away their host status, for whatever reason, whether because of lack of funding or a change in government, Calgary could quickly take its place.
"If that ever did happen, it would be automatic for Calgary. It would come back to us because we are the place that has the best intact facilities."
King says the only other time it happened was back in 1976, when Denver, Colo. backed out of its host status, allowing Innsbruck to be awarded the Games again, only 12 years after hosting the 1964 Games.
Colorado residents were worried about rising costs and negative impacts to the environment, and voted to give the Games to another city.
"Calgarians would love it, they have the spirit where we know they would be ready to go."
Catriona Le May Doan, speedskating gold medallist who spent more than 10 years training in Calgary soon after the Oval was built, talked about her early training days.
"I remember when I was still in Saskatoon, where we would train in the freezing -30C weather, looking at the plans of this building and thinking "wow, this will never happen.
"But not only did it happen, it was the place that became my life. It was the place that allowed all of my Olympic dreams to come true, being able to listen to the national anthem on a podium two times."
Le May Doan won a gold and bronze medal in speedskating at the 1998 Nagano games and another gold medal in 2002 at the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Calgary's Olympic Oval held the first indoor Olympic speedskating competition, and is still home to hundreds of Canadian athletes who train there year round.
Canada Olympic Park — recently upgraded to become the Canadian Centre of Sports Excellence — is also still the training ground for bobsled, luge and skeleton athletes, while the ski jumps, now out of date for competition, still serve as training jumps for younger competitors.

Having only 2% of his vision left due to a progressive retinal degenerative condition, Mark felt a profession based on touch and not sight would allow him to provide the best service to society. It was an important decision in Mark's life that has been justified many times over since graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1995. Having weakness in one sense allows the brain to provide more power to other senses, for example, touch and intention. This is a great advantage that allows Mark to function at a heightened state of awareness when treating the body. Combining this with his knowledge in human movement patterns makes for a unique and powerful massage therapy experience. For the past 7 years, Mark has also worked on a political level with our Provincial, National and International massage therapy organizations.

Anatomy of Sciatica The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in your body. Five sets of paired nerve roots combine to create it, and it\'s about the diameter of your middle finger. The sciatic nerve starts in your low back, which is called your lumbar spine. The nerve roots are at the L4 and L5 vertebrae (the \'L\' means lumbar, and the numbers indicate the level of the vertebra where it is in your back). The sciatic nerve also travels through your pelvic region (sacrum).
It is important to stay active. Do exercises that develop muscles in your back and stomach. This helps to stablilize your spine. It is also important to maintain a reasonable body weight. Ensure that you practice good posture, and sleep on a mattress that is neither too hard or too soft. You should always discuss health matters with your physician, especially if you suffer progressive weakness, as this may constitute a medical emergency. The problem thought to be something easily treated may be a serious condition caused by the compression of the nerve roots in the lower end ofthe spinal canal, which requires immediate medical attention.
Pain is the most common symptom from sciatica. Often only affecting one side of the lower body,
pain extends from the lower back, through the lower back of the thigh and down through the leg. This pain may also extend to the foot or toes depending on the location of where the sciatic nerve is being affected. Most people will describe this as a deep severe pain that is worsened with certain movements. From a mild ache to a sharp burning sensation, causing extreme discomfort,
pain is never the same for any one person. The pain can be so intense and uncomfortable that at times it may feel like a jolt or an electric shock. Often starting gradually,
pain intensifies over time. Most often only one lower extremity is affected. Sciatica pain can be severe and debilitating for some people, while for others the pain caused by the
can be irritating but infrequent. With sciatica there is always potential for it to get worse. It is best to seek a professional diagnostic and follow recommended therapy for any form of
, however mild it may be. In addition to pain, if you suffer from
you may also experience: Muscle weakness or numbness: This will be felt along the nerve pathway in your leg or foot. You may have painful
symptoms in one part of your leg, and numbness in another area making it difficult to move the leg or foot. Tingling or pins and needles feeling: This feeling is usually felt in part of your foot or in your toes. Loss of bladder or bowel control: Associated with Cauda Equina syndrome, this is a sign of this rare and serious condition that requires immediate emergency care. If you experience either of these symptoms, it is imperative that you seek emergency medical attention immediately. A few other symptoms that require no explanation are Pain in the rear or leg that worsens when you are sitting A constant pain on one side of the buttock Shooting pain making if difficult to stand up
symptoms can often be made worse with prolonged sitting or standing positions. Described by some people, the worst pain feeling like trying to stand from a low sitting position, such as standing up after sitting on a toilet seat for a duration. A hard bowel movement, coughing, sneezing, laughing or a sudden jerking motion will most often make the pain worse in most people. Often when stretching people will bend backwards to try and loosen up some muscles, this is another way some people aggravate their
symptoms. I usually do not repeat myself but I am going to for this purpose. If you have progressive lower extremity weakness and or loss of bladder or bowel control, it is imperative that you seek professional medical attention for your
symptoms immediately.
conditions can worsen with time. Self diagnosing is never recommended and seeking professional medical attention is always a better alternative. A well trained professional can help you bring your sciatica symptoms under control and help you live with a higher quality of life.
For example, while commonly recommended to people with
, exercises such as hamstring stretches and the yoga position, "downward facing dog" can be beneficial as part of managing one's condition once the pain is reduced, these exercises can place tension on the sciatic nerve and aggravate an already inflamed and sensitive condition. In general, any exercise that causes pain to increase in the leg and/or extend further down the leg should be completely avoided during the acute phase of
The simplest of the McKenzie exercises for alleviating sciatica is done by simply lying on one's stomach on the floor or a firm surface and propping one's chest up on the elbows. This places the lower spine in a gentle extension, which can help relieve
by pushing bulging spinal discs forward, and away from the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve, reducing pressure and irritation. Although you can maintain this position for relatively long periods of time, I recommend doing it for short periods of one or two minutes with a rest break of at least a few minutes in between. The frequent breaks prevent the low back muscles from tightening up as much, and yet still allows for good overall results. For more complex
exercises, getting detailed instructions either through an illustrated guide or an experienced health care practitioner is advised.

What is
is the official name given to a pain in the leg, foot, or buttock, brought on by a form of irritation to the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the entire body.
During the acute phase of
pain, McKenzie exercises provide one of the best and safest treatment approaches available - more effective than medication and epidural steroid injections in many people. Though often associated with spinal extension and mistakenly called the "McKenzie Extension Exercises", McKenzie method may involve any number of spinal positions/movements. The whole point of the McKenzie method is to evaluate different positions/exercises to find what best produces "centralization" of symptoms.
Symptoms of
Regardless of the type of
you have the symptoms are the same. These symptoms include but are not limited to pain in the low back, buttocks and down the back of the leg. Numbness and tingling are also common symptoms and they follow the same pathway. Weakness can develop anywhere along this pathway because there is an interruption in the sciatic nerve transmission.
Proper stretching and exercising, combined with over-the-counter pain medications can assist on the road to recovery. If your pain is not relieved by the milder pain medications, your doctor may prescribe a naroctic analgesic. However be advised that these medications can cause nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness, and may result in dependency if taken over long periods of time. In extreme cases, surgery may be required to remove fragment of the disc.
is most commonly caused by a slipped disc in the lower back, some form of arthritis, or a pinched nerve. It begins with back pain, followed by calf or hamstring pain, and sometimes included numbness in the toes. Forms of sciatica, resulting from inflammation get better with time, healing themselves. However, bed rest is not the best way to treat
. It is shown that remaining active and performing exercises that are not weight bearing can help. Given time, even herniated spinal discs can heal.
In most people, the sciatic nerve runs under the Piriformis (bum) muscle, which moves your thigh side to side. From there, the sciatic nerve descends through the buttocks and the back of the thighs. Behind your knee, smaller nerves branch out from the sciatic nerve and travel down to your feet.
I highly suggest trying it out and talking with Mike Dixon RMT. He has had over 20 years of clinical experience and he has been teaching spinal orthopaedics for over a decade. He has also written two books on spinal manipulation.
responds extremely will to spinal decompression treatments. This is performed on a special table. The treatment schedule depends on your specific symptoms and cause. What needs to be done with disk bulges/herniations is that the disk material needs to be absorbed back into the disk and this requires taking the pressure off the disk. This is why spinal decompression is so effective. It is essentially traction targeted to your specific condition.
What is
? Sciatica is a medical term used to explain symptoms that develop when the Sciatic nerve is compromised. Pseudo
, which is the most common, occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed by the Piriformis (bum) muscle. True
occurs when one of the sciatic nerve roots is compressed when it exits the spinal column.
Treatment for
is varied. It is only possible to find out what treatment is best for you by going to your doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Your doctor may order an MRI to conclude the exact cause of sciatic pain, although many physicians can determine the cause through physical examination alone.

is easily treated?????? by massage therapy. Usually in one treatment you will notice a dramatic improvement in your symptoms. Some home care exercises are prescribed and if you follow them you should have no more symptoms.
A position or exercise that results in symptom centralization is one that will be beneficial, even in situations where symptoms increase for a time in areas closer to the spine. For example, if you had sciatica and low back pain and tried one of of the McKenzie exercises and the
completely went away but the back pain got worse, the exercise would still be considered beneficial and it would be recommended to continue using it. In the long run, a
exercise that produces centralization will usually eventually result in improvement in all symptoms, even if more central (closer to the spine) symptoms get worse at first.
McKenzie practitioners use the word "centralization" when the pain and other symptoms are relieved in the areas the greates distance away from the spine. To give an example, in a person with
all the way down the leg to the foot, centralization might occur in which the pain left the foot and lower leg and then only extended down to the knee. Or, if sciatica symptoms started out going as far as the knee, centralization would be if the symptoms left the thigh and only went as far as the hip area.
There are a variety of tests used to diagnose this condition. The first step is to go through a history of symptoms and activities with the client. Muscle and neurological tests are then done. An Xray, CT Scan or MRI might be needed depending on the initial findings.
How is Sciatica caused? Pseudo Sciatica is caused by a tightening of the Piriformis muscle on the Sciatic nerve. The nerve passes under the Piriformis muscle and in some cases it passes right through the muscle tissue. Exercise, pregnancy, weight gain and posture can create a tight Piriformis muscle.

A group is calling for five western Maryland counties to secede and form their own state.
Scott Strzelczyk, leader of the Western Maryland Initiative, says people are fed up with the liberal majority and want an ``amicable divorce.''
The five counties - Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick and Carroll - represent just 11 percent of Maryland's population, but the majority of their registered voters are Republicans in a heavily Democratic state.
The U.S. Constitution allows regions to separate with approval from the state legislature and Congress. There are similar efforts around the country and there was one the Eastern Shore in the 1970s in a bid to keep tourism money. West Virginia is the last state to successfully break away from another - 150 years ago.

Palin comes out swinging and starts telling the folks what's at stake here. Why McCain is so damn polite when the very country is at stake confounds me. These are dangerous people and we need a leader, unafraid of the media, unafraid of the leftwing bullies -- we are counting on you McCain and you are failing us.
Palin OTOH is opening up and telling folks what we on the blogs have been reporting for over a year now - Obama's nefarious radical alliances. The media is having a two year old temper tantrum but even the deeply leftarded Rolling Stone agrees. This from February 2007 - thanks to Joe
In the tank for Obama early and often, Rolling Stone was enthralled back then at the thought of Obama, with "as openly radical a background as any significant American political figure has ever emerged from," (p.3) becoming a force for change on the national stage. The reference is to Wright, rather than to Ayers, but the politics are ultimately the same. I bring this up not because the article sheds any new light on Obama, but rather because of its tone. Obama's radicalism was a selling point with which leftist journals like RS were trumpeting just last year and attempting to bury now.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -Republican vice presidential candidate on Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of an association with a former '60s radical, stepping up an effort to portray Obama as unacceptable to American voters.
Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, during the Vietnam War era. Obama, who was a child when the group was active, has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities.
While it is known that Obama and Ayers live in the same Chicago neighborhood, served on a charity board together and had a fleeting political connection, it's a stretch of any reading of the public record to say the pair ever palled around. And it's simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts.
This is mainsteam media injecting its narrative into a news story.
Falling behind Obama in polls, the Republican campaign plans to make attacks on Obama's character a centerpiece of candidate John McCain's message in the final weeks of the presidential race. Coming late in the campaign, Palin's remark could be particularly incendiary, however, and could knock Obama off his focus on the troubled economy.
Incendiary and true.
Palin told a group of donors at a private airport, "Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She also said, "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America."
