Much has been made of the Cleveland Indians' attendance this summer, as the team has ranked at the bottom of the 30-team league from the get go.
Yet they're out of the cellar now, despite their recent 11-game losing streak.
The Indians now are 28th in baseball, at 20,677 per game through 59 games — though they're perilously close to the bottom, at just 105 fans above the last-place team. (Know what's crazy? The two teams behind them, Oakland and Tampa Bay, are a combined 19 games over .500.)Conventional wisdom held that the Indians would suffer after their recent 11-game losing streak that ended most hope of a playoff push; the Indians are nine games behind division-leading Chicago, and would have to go 34-12 over their last 46 games to reach the 88 wins for which the White Sox are on pace.Yet the Indians, in last week's seven-game homestand, fared pretty well: They averaged 23,522 over those games, or 16% over the 20,294 they averaged over the season's first 52 games.Now, a caveat: The Indians held their Hall of Fame induction over the weekend, and also played the Red Sox, one of the league's best-drawing road teams, on the weekend. But looking ahead, the Indians have the Yankees at home on a weekend when they return on Aug. 24, then four games against Oakland during the week that likely will fall short of the average. After that, the Rangers, Tigers and White Sox fill the schedule, with a series apiece against Minnesota and Kansas City.So, despite all the attention the Indians' attendance has gotten this year, there's a good chance the team will continue its climb up the attendance standings. If, for instance, the Indians draw 100,000 against the Yankees — a friend of mine said he sold his front-row bleacher tickets for $99 apiece, and the Indians' website shows that the games are filling up — they'd move to 21,289 per game and ahead of Houston for 27th.
Much also was made before the Olympics started about Kobe Bryant's comments that the 2012 U.S. Men's Olympic basketball team could beat the original Dream Team. It's a topic near and dear to my heart, because the Original Dream Teamers were the guys I grew up with, the guys on video games such as "Bulls vs. Blazers" and "NBA Jam." So, how'd they stack up? The Wall Street Journal reports that this year's squad, in terms of margin of victory, was only the fifth best of all-time. Take that, Kobe.Of course, The Journal wisely points out that this year's squad has much better competition against which it had to play; the Spanish, against whom the Americans played in Sunday's gold medal game — seriously, how much of a crybaby is Rudy Fernandez? — would be a pretty darn good NBA team.

Sports Update
Prestonwood alum Zach Peters leaving Kansas due to health issues
BY Matt Welch,
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 11:23 AM CST
Prestonwood Christian Academy alum Zach Peters has decided to leave the University of Kansas men's basketball program, citing health reasons.
After a shoulder injury and a pair of concussions sidelined Peters for almost the entirety of the fall, Kansas head coach Bill Self announced Peters' decision Monday to leave the Jayhawks following the 2012 fall semester.
"Zach and I met today after he went home to meet with his family and he has informed us that he will be leaving the basketball program effective at the end of the semester," Self said in a statement. "Zach has labored with health issues since he has been here.
"His shoulder has improved but he's also been dealing with multiple concussions that have become a big source of frustration and concern for him."
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward was a four-time TAPPS all-state first team selection and helped guide Prestonwood to a pair of TAPPS Division I State Championships. Peters also contributed as a wide receiver with the Lions' football team, catching 82 balls for 1,095 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior.
Self added doctors noted that Peters sustained four concussions since his senior year at Prestonwood, including two in his brief time with the Jayhawks.
"This is unfortunate for Zach and our team," Self said. "I personally thought that Zach had a chance to be a very good player at the University of Kansas. It's a shame that these health issues have kept him from doing so. While the shoulder has improved, he's still not 100 percent."
Peters contributed during the team's Europe trip to Switzerland and Paris over the summer, averaging 5.0 points and 6.3 rebounds.
"I hate that this is happening. I have really enjoyed my time at KU," Peters said. "I was looking forward to having a great college experience here but with all the injuries, including the concussions, that I have dealt with lately, I feel like in order for me to move on and be able to get over all this, I need to go home and basically heal."

Nationality: BIHBorn : 17.09.1985Place of birth: Mostar (BIH) Height: 2.05mPosition: PF
Career: KK Sloboda Dita Tuzla (Bosnia & Herzegovina-D1, 2002-04), BC Oostende (Belgium-D1, 2004-06), Caja Laboral (Spain-ACB, 2006-11)
Having missed the Qualifying Round last summer, Mirza Teletovic is back for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that means the team get the services of their marquee player once again. After five years of impressing in both Euroleague and in the ACB in Spain, this top level performer brings plenty to the table and not least his trademark killer game from the perimeter. Acknowledged as one of the best perimeter skilled big men in Europe, Teletovic has put many opponents to the sword and games to bed with his devastating range. From dagger threes at key times to buzzer-beating game-winners, he is someone who will need to be locked down in a big way otherwise he can destroy you. A former MVP of the prestigious Copa Del Rey, Teletovic has won a raft of trophies in Vitoria since moving from his hometown team via Oostende. He isn't just about jacking up three-balls however, as he can finish around the hoop and will utilise a power dribble when required to explode to the hoop and if he feels in the mood, throw down a big dunk. A solid rebounder, he will bring experience of previous EuroBasket action having played in the 2005 tournament. He is essential to the National Team, who struggle without him and consequently he has a heavy load of expectation and responsibility to carry on his shoulders.

Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
Scientific Name | Corydoras sp. (Cw029) |
Common Name(s) | CW029 |
Pronunciation | Kory DOOR ass |
Etymology | Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. |
Species Information | |
Identification | Corydoras are identified by their twin rows of armour plates along the flanks and by having fewer than 10 dorsal fin rays. They are most commonly confused with the other genera in the sub-family, namely Brochis, Scleromystax and Aspidoras. |
Sexing | Females grow larger and are more full-bodied, this is best observed from above the fish. Males will typically have more pointed as opposed to more rounded fin tips as they mature. |
Husbandry Information | |
Feeding | Will accept a wide range of commercial foods including tablets, granules and flakes. Live (or frozen) foods such as bloodworm, white worm, grindal worm, Daphnia and tubifex are readily accepted. |
Furniture | Shade provided by overhanging rock work, arching bogwood, tall or floating plants are all that is required. Ideally substrate should be sand, but rounded gravel is an imperfect alternative. Do not keep over regular, not rounded gravel, this will damaged the fishes barbels when it tries to dig. |
Breeding | Unreported. |
Further Information | |
Registered Keepers | None. |
Breeding Reports | None. |

Digging Into Unethical Corporate BehaviorIn the past two decades, a parade of companies has imploded in the wake of unethical and fraudulent business practices, leaving investors shaken and scorched. Enron Corp. is perhaps most notorious. Executives embezzled funds from investors, and as Enron teetered on bankruptcy, it misrepresented its financials and may have even created a false energy crisis. Investors lost more than $70 billion. The charismatic Bernie Madoff, who was a well regarded and trusted financial investor and philanthropist to boot, fooled investors and got the best of the Securities & Exchange Commission, which has reportedly since tightened up. Madoff operated legal and illegal operations. His illegal entity ran a Ponzi scheme, using revenue from new investors to pay existing clients. Shareholder losses from Madoffs actions amounted to $20 billion. WorldCom and Tyco International have become synonymous with white-collar crime, thanks to unscrupulous behavior by a select few business executives within those companies. Bad executive behavior can lead to sales declines and tanking stock prices, and sometimes, a companys demise. Enron brought down itself and a former big five accounting firm, Arthur Andersen. Companies not in any danger of collapsing, but recently shown to have ethical lapses that could signal bigger problems within the company include Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK), Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT), and News Corp. (Nasdaq: NWS). The SEC is investigating Aubrey McClendon, chief executive and cofounder of natural gas company Chesapeake Energy, for borrowing as much as $1.1 billion in undisclosed loans to boost his financial stake in Chesapeakes oil and gas wells. The board now says it will end McClendons eligibility for the companys Founder Well Participation Program. The company is also replacing McClendon as chairman. Wal-Marts Mexican subsidiary allegedly bribed foreign officials to more quickly get building permits for new stores, which is illegal under the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Wal-Mart isn't the only company being investigated for unethical behavior in foreign countries. The federal government is investigating 81 public companies. (Meanwhile, business trade groups who are no fan of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act are calling for amendments and clarifications as to what constitutes improper behavior under the law.) The scandal also brings up a question for US companies operating globally: Should companies have different ethical standards depending on the country theyre operating in, or should they always be guided by one standard? The fallout of the scandal has been immediate, affecting Wal-Marts ability to open new stores in the US, which could eventually hurt business and shareholders. Nearly a year after London-based News Internationals phone-hacking scandal, its parent, News Corp., is still mired in muck. News Corp.s leader, Rupert Murdoch, was deemed unfit to run his company by a group of British lawmakers. The company has been accused of trying to cover up unethical behavior instead of tackling the problem head on, which can make matters worse. I would actually prefer a company that has had fraud, has had problems, and then you want to see how they clean it up, said Joan Pastor, chief executive and managing partner of JPA International Inc., which consults on preventing white-collar crime and other business issues. If a company swiftly addresses ethical issues, it can mitigate the damage, even put the company in a favorable light. Sometimes it seems unethical behavior is commonplace in business, especially considering the subprime housing collapse, when an entire industry appeared to conspire to make a profit, without any ethical considerations. In the wake of the subprime meltdown in 2008, MBA students took to signing "The M.B.A. Oath" -- pledges that they would be ethical once they began their careers in business. What causes executives to become shareholder nightmares? Psychologists say most of us are capable of ethical lapses, and people in business are no different. Pastor, a licensed organizational and clinical psychologist, classifies white-collar criminals as one of two types: the normal person, with a moral conscience and a sense of empathy, who under certain circumstances might act unethically, and the person who has no moral conscience or empathy and is prone to be deceitful. The people who lack a conscience are the people who can do the most damage. Often motivated by money, theyre attracted to business and will seek out companies that are easy to exploit, ones with weak internal controls, says Pastor. They have a compulsion to gain for themselves, she says. Other characteristics of white-collar criminals include a lack of remorse, a tendency to blame their victims, and a sense of entitlement. They can be brilliant and charismatic. These people can be very charming, Pastor says. Some of these people are so bright, theyre just bored. Its not only the people at the top of the corporate ladder who can have ethical lapses. It can happen at any rung in business. But ethical lapses at the top can result in lax ethics throughout the company. Investors can look to a companys management team and corporate culture for warning signs. Does the company make ethics a priority? Do executives act swiftly when an ethical problem arises? Does the company have tight fiscal controls? Does the company have a lot of turnover? Does the company have a good corporate culture -- do people like working for it? Red flags can also be spotted in company financials, especially the footnotes, where crucial information often is buried. Footnoted.com is perhaps one of the best sources to check out before investing in a company. In 2009, Footnoted signaled Chesapeake Energys current problem with its post on the "worst footnote of the year." (Chesapeake spent $12.1 million to purchase McClendons antique map collection. Founded by Michelle Leder, and now part of Morningstar Inc. (Nasdaq: MORN), Footnoted explores the footnotes of companies earnings releases, 10-Ks (annual reports), 10-Qs (quarterly reports), and other financial filings, for signs that a companys financial outlook might not be as rosy as it appears. Company financial filings can be found in several places, including the most comprehensive site, the SECs Edgar.

Every corner of Ireland has its own unique charm, but some features stand out as magnets that draw multitudes of visitors year after year. Below you will find details of some Irish tourist attractions that you really should not miss.
Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo is one of Ireland's top attractions, with visitor numbers reaching 960,000 in 2010. Open since 1813, Dublin Zoo is Ireland's biggest zoo, covering 24 hectares (59 acres) of Phoenix Park.
In May 2011, the zoo delivered a record 12 new arrivals, including a blackbuck calf, a Sulawesi-crested macaque, a giraffe, and a gorilla.
If you are looking for accommodation at discount rates, check out our hotels in Dublin and receive immediate confirmation on your reservation.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Teetering 23 meters over the Atlantic, a light rope bridge links Carrick-a-Rede island to mainland Northern Ireland. Watch seabirds including fulmars, kittywakes, and guillemots wheel and dive above and below, and be prepared for some dizziness as you look across at Rathlin Island and Scotland!
The bridge is connected to the main road via a short coastal footpath, which offers excellent viewing points of the breath-taking local scenery.
Guinness Storehouse
More than 4 million people have visited the Guinness Storehouse, at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, in the past decade. The Storehouse celebrates the beer's four ingredients: water, barley, hops and yeast, and commemorates the brewery's founder, Arthur Guinness.
Exhibitions on other floors showcase the history of Guinness advertising and feature an interactive exhibit that promotes sensible drinking. A wing opened in 2006 houses a live installation of the present day brewing process.
In the seventh-floor Gravity Bar, visitors may enjoy a complimentary pint of Guinness and savour the 360° views over Dublin City.
If you are looking for accommodation, check out our list of Dublin hotels and bed and breakfast options and book securely online.
Carrowmore, Sligo
Extending across many acres and into adjoining townlands, Carrowmore represents the largest grouping of megalithic monuments in Ireland. The immense Neolithic burial ground may once have hald more than 100 tombs.
Recent controversial dating by a team of Swedish archaeologists suggests that several of the tombs may predate 400 BC.
The cairn-crowned hill of Knocknarea (1,014 feet), traditionally held to be the burial place of Queen Maeve of Connacht, lies to the north-west of the Carrowmore group.
If you would like to stay in the area, check out our list of hotels in Sligo, book online and get instant confirmation on your reservation.
Garnish Island
Garnish Island is a subtropical paradise located in the sheltered harbour of Glengarriff in Bantry Bay, in Southwest Ireland. With the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, the climate is generally balmy. Accessible only by boat, the island houses the fairytale gardens of Ilnacullin and offers the Kerry mountains as a backdrop.
Trinity College
College Street, Dublin 2, Dublin
Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I, Trinity College is the oldest in the country and is situated in an enviable position in the very heart of Ireland's capital. The college has produced such famous graduates as Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith (whose statue stands outside), Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, and Bram Stoker.
The College distinguished itself by admitting female students to degrees as early as 1903. With its wide squares and gracious buildings, Trinity is an oasis of quiet encircled by busy streets. Its oldest surviving block, the Rubrics, dates from Queen Anne's time. Today the college population exceeds 12,000 students and 1,200 staff.
Clonmacnoise, Shannonbridge, Offaly
Ireland's premier monastic site is set in tranquil and inspiring surroundings on the banks of the River Shannon. The site includes the ruins of a cathedral, two round towers, eight churches, three high crosses, as well as a large collection of early Christian grave slabs.
Features include a visitor centre and museum display, a multi-lingual audio-visual presentation, a coffee shop, and a tourist information office.
Craggaunowen – The Living Past
Quin, Clare
During the Bronze Age, people protected themselves against marauding invaders by building their homes on lakes. These lake dwellings, known as "crannog," have been recreated at Craggaunowen Castle. The Castle itself was restored by art historian John Hunt and now contains a part of his collection of medieval art.
The project also includes a ring fort, a reproduction of a farmer's house dating from the 4th or 5th century, an Iron-Age roadway, and an outdoor cooking site or "Fulacht Fiadh".
A key feature is the Brendan, the hide boat in which Tim Severin re-enacted the voyage of Saint Brendan from Ireland to America.
Newgrange & Brú na Bóinne
Donore, Meath
One of the great wonders of the ancient world, Newgrange is older than Stonehenge, Mycenae, or even the pyramids in Egypt. Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre is the starting point for a tour of Newgrange.
Bunratty Castle And Folk Park
Bunratty, Bunratty, Clare
Ireland's most popular attraction, Bunratty Castle is also the most complete and authentic medieval castle in Ireland.
If you would like to stay in the area, Goireland offers a wide range of Bunratty hotels and bed and breakfasts.

My girl Double Trouble is such an awesome character! Shrouded in mystery, she's fab!
Double Trouble
Sweet Bee
We all know that the A-listers, not yet revealed in MOTUC form, are Angella, Glimmer, and Mermista. Hopefully, we will get all the others, but which one should take precedence?
If you could choose only ONE from the remaining vintage toy roster, which would you choose?
*Double Trouble
*Sweet Bee
I have included Entrapta on this list because she is considered "POP", even though her faction is the Evil Horde. Also, I eliminated the variants of She-Ra and Catra, and also the pint sized characters Kowl and Lookee. This specific poll is to see which one of the vintage POP dolls is the most popular to get inclusion. Removing the A-listers and the popular Filmation characters, I'd like to see which of these seven is the most sought after!

Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
My girl Double Trouble is such an awesome character! Shrouded in mystery, she's fab!
"Skeletor to King Randor, Skeletor to King Randor, come in you Royal Boob!"
After Mermista, Peekablue is my most wanted.
So, Peekablue gets my vote.
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
Can't wait for Sweet Bee! Here's hoping she comes with a removable bee-helmet!
**Staunch FILMation Subscription supporter!!! **** Really want a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
I started the poll, and I don't know who to vote for. Geez!
My favorite of this group are Double Trouble, Entrapta, Peekablue, and Sweet Bee. I think I like them equally, for different reasons. I'm gonna wait and vote later, LOL!
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I feel resentful that we don't have ANY of these characters yet.
It's ludicrous. Really.
And choosing one is so difficult.
I mean I carry a torch for Sweet Bee - everyone knows that - and that is the character I chose.
But I want Double Trouble. I want Perfuma. I want Flutterina.
Why can't they just give us a POP sub next year?!
Do this:
Madame Razz
Sweet Bee
Double Trouble
A Want List of Sorts:
Rokkon, Stonedar, Nepthu, Plundor, Sea Hawk, Strong-Arm, Dactys, Horde Troopers, Storm, Geldor, Modulok, Battle Ram, Kowl, Loo-Kee, Hydron, Glimmer, Eldor, Two Bad, Ninjor, Rio Blast, Mermista, Entrapta, Sweet Bee, Peekablue, Flutterina, Gorpo, Flogg, Crimson Fury, Songster, Lodar, Kex Queen, Goat Man, Darius, Uncle Montork, Dree-Elle
I agree, Brian.
This specific poll is intended to be a fun gauge on which of these characters stands out from the rest. I narrowed the POP roster down to these former "dolls", since it is that which makes them stand separate, in some circles. I think they are all great characters. Although, I agree that some more easily blend in than others. The least "warrior-like" is, to me, Perfuma. But after seeing that custom of her on ebay recently, I have no doubt that she'd make a great figure.
It's just so hard to imagine getting ONE of these, and possibly not getting the others.
I would buy a POP sub! Two or more, actually! With Filmation and other media characters, it would be a really exciting roster!
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I want most of them, but I chose Perfuma, because she's so crazy-awesome.
Entrapta, but I want Double Trouble so much too.
Screw it! I demand a POP sub.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
I want them all, but given the choices here: Spinnerella, cause we have Netossa and it's almost like having Mary Kate without Ashley, Tia without Tamera or Dylan without Cole...
Toyguru, read this: The Rebellion needs Glimmer!! I NEED Glimmer!! Pretty Please?
I've voted for Perfuma. She's the Etherian equivalent of Moss-Man, so I do hope they give her some flowery scent, and also her vintage flower backpack. Something like Emiliano's vision, with an added fragrance à la Moss-Man/Stinkor, would be perfect.
My list would be:
1. Perfuma
2. Double Trouble
3. Spinnerella
4. Sweet Bee
5. Entrapta
6. Peekablue
7. Flutterina

Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
Double Trouble for me. The rest can fend for themselves in the line's twilight years!
I'd have voted for Entrapta but with Octavia and possibly Scorpia on the way, the GR needs to bump up their numbers so i've gone with Sweet Bee on this one.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Modulok/Two Bad *PoP ~ Angella/Glimmer *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Jet Sled/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Stridor/Night Stalker
I really like Double Trouble, but Peekablue got my vote.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
Sweet Bee - I think Buzz-Off needs a girlfriend !
I voted for Sweet Bee. Peekablue would be my 2nd choice but I want them ALL! All vintage figures from unique characters should be made into MOTUC. All of MOTU, POP and NA! I want a separate POP sub AND NA sub as well if that's what it takes to get all of the vintage figures remade into MOTUC. With having an add-on Filmation sub it's going in the right direction.
MY MOTUC WANTS: SKY SLED, Rio Blast, Extendar, Gwildor, Eldor, Glimmer, Kowl, Angella, Mermista, Sweet Bee, Peekablue, Sea Hawk, Madame Razz, Huntara, Hydron, Master Sebrian, Sagitar, Tuskador, Darius, Mara, Two Bad, Saurod, Hunga the Harpy, Evil Seed, Masque, Horde Trooper, Modulok, Dragstor, Imp, Scorpia, Vultak, Entrapta, Tung Lashor, Sssqueeeze, NA Skeletor, Flogg, Lizorr, Hoove, Critta
Since when is Mermista an A-Lister?
Don´t get me wrong i really like her and since it´s more or less clarified that we will get all the vintage POP characters i really look forward to her but still an A-Lister? I didn´t know that.
By the way, my vote went to Peekablue, but that shouldn´t surprise anyone
*Peekablue *Glimmer *Entrapta *Double Trouble *Toy version Catra(blood red Prototype colors) *Mara(Prototype) *Sagitar *Drissi *Crita *Lizorr *Scorpia *Lizard-Man *Granita *Zilora *Battle Armor Marlena *Queen Veena *Calix *Prince Dakon *Female Comet Warrior(Minicomic)
Special wish: Female Snake Men
MOTUC wants: Modulok, Entrapta, Scorpia, Madame Razz, Sea Hawk, Spinnerella, Double Trouble, Glimmer, Angella, Sweet Bee, Mermista, Flutterina, Perfuma, Peekablue, Kowl, Loo-Kee, Huntara, Two-Bad, Extendar, Tung Lashor, Sssqueeze, Kayo, Darius, Drissi, Hydron, Sebrian, Flogg, Crita, Hoove, Staghorn, Crystoll, Quakke, Chef Allen
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz, Climan
Perfuma. She has slippers.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
Regarding Mermista: If seems like Toyguru considers her to be an A-Lister because of this...
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
I voted for Double Trouble. She was the figure I wanted most as a kid I never got. Would love to have her in classics.

Charles Gregory "Bebe" Rebozo and Richard Nixon
Bebe Rebozo came in and out of the Nixon White House as he pleased, without being logged in by the Secret Service. At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he had his own private office with a telephone and a designated bedroom always at his disposal. He was both Nixon's best friend and his bag man to the Mafia and Howard Hughes.
by Don Fulsom
When Richard Nixon was president, a disreputable character named Charles Gregory "Bebe" Rebozo (a.k.a. Charles Gregory) all but lived in the White House. Not known beyond the executive mansion at that time—or to most people even now—Rebozo had working and sleeping quarters there. And he was plugged into the White House switchboard, which knew how to reach him anywhere at any time.
Rebozo was not a high-ranking government employee who deserved or required such free space or services. In fact, the only government entity that knew much about Bebe was the FBI, which said he was cozy with Mafia biggies—especially Tampa Godfather Santos Trafficante and Alfred ("Big Al") Polizzi of Cleveland. Big Al was a drug trafficker associated with the Syndicate's financial genius, Meyer Lansky. In 1964, the Bureau of Narcotics branded Polizzi "one of the most influential members of the underworld in the United States."

J. Edgar Hoover
J. Edgar's Hoover's homosexuality compromised him and made him vulnerable to blackmail by the Mafia. Attorney General Robert Kennedy's crackdown on the Mob put Hoover between a rock and a hard place.
J. Edgar Hoover was in the hip pocket of America's godfathers, reputedly because they had pictorial proof of his homosexuality. So the FBI director put the Mafia on a low level of his crime-fighting priorities. That is until 1961, when John and Robert Kennedy put potent muscle behind the government's drive against organized crime—and Hoover reluctantly began paying more than just lip service to battling the Mob.
As President John F. Kennedy's attorney general, Robert Kennedy became a menace to the Mafia—and his take-no-prisoners tactics trickled down not only to Hoover, but also to top local and state cops, district attorneys and judges.

Holiday spending projected to rise: American consumers could spend $586.1 billion
By Andrew Snyder, firstname.lastname@example.com
American shoppers are projected to spend up to $586.1 billion on gifts, decorations and additional holiday items this year, according to a survey conducted by the National Retail Federation � the world's largest retail trade association.
The organization estimates that the average consumer will spend $749.51 this year and that up to 147 million people will shop either online or at stores during the three-day weekend following Thanksgiving. Holiday sales are expected to increase by four percent, with the largest portion of sales (56 percent) going toward gifts for family members. The next highest spending category is food (13 percent) according to the survey, which polled 8.899 people.
"We�ve seen this pattern of cautious optimism all year and despite the challenges that still exist in our economy, it looks as if consumers are eager to celebrate with friends and family,� said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay in a company release. �As the most promotional time of the year, retailers will continue to look for ways to stand out, specifically with attractive deals on toys, electronics and apparel, even well before the �official� start of the holiday shopping season � Black Friday and Cyber Monday.�

Book Report: What readers crave: Clear, lively wordplay
Today we'll examine two new books that have to do with good writing by writers who are indeed very good.
Today we'll examine two new books that have to do with good writing by writers who are indeed very good.
One such writer is Verlyn Klinkenborg, who burst onto the literary scene 30 years ago.
Nowadays he writes editorial pieces for the New York Times. But 30 years ago he was teaching at Carleton College, and so I reviewed his first book simply because it had Minnesota connections.
I was bowled over.
The book was called "Making Hay."
That year I was elected to the board of the National Book Critics Circle. I was sort of their token rube.
Timothy Foote of Smithsonian magazine asked our group if anyone had read this fellow Klinkenborg. I was the only member to respond in the affirmative.
"What is it about, this 'Making Hay,' I assume it's a metaphor for something," said Poet Elizabeth Harwick.
I replied that it wasn't a metaphor, but a book about making hay.
Cutting it, raking it, picking it up and putting it in the barn.
"My gawd," replied Hardwick, "What's this world coming to?"
"Making Hay" became a minor classic and Klinkenborg went on to fame with other books, including the wonderful, "The Last Fine Time," a book about the rise and fall of his father-in-law's saloon in Hamtramck, Mich., which is a metaphor for what's wrong with Detroit.
And now he's out with "Several Short Sentences about Writing" (Knopf, $22) in which he gives fledgling writers short and sweet rules a writer should live by.
For example, if someone once told you that you shouldn't begin a sentence with "and," ignore it.
Another: "You've been taught to believe that short sentences are childish" so you write long ones that become "a desert of jargon and weak constructions, a land of linguistic barbarism, a place where it's nearly impossible to write with clarity or directness…."
True, you can sound quite grown-up, in the manner of college professors and journalists and experts in every field — you may be a college professor, a journalist, or an expert in some field.
How well do they write? How much do you enjoy reading them?
Enough said.
Our next writer of note is as unknown as Klinkenborg was 30 years ago.
"Unless You Count Birds: Poems" (North Star Press, $12.95 paper) is Kathleen Weihe's first book and it's about time.
For years she's picked up prizes and placed individual poems in various publications, but "Unless You Count Birds" is the first time the range of her interests gets a chance to shine at its brightest.
She's good with children, as in "A Daughter and the Moon:"
"You cocked your head back, laughing,
and looked for the moon from the roving
car, saying, If I'm happy, you're happy-right?
Oh, how could I tell you when you
broke from the warm egg, that it was
not your job to make me laugh?"
And she captures old folks with warmth and precision, as in "Portrait of my Mother at 86:"
"She sits in the eggshell glow of 4 p.m.,
cricket clatter pearling against repose,
and she's finally polished down to here and now
to her can't-be-taken-away vast and
undying love of the remaining world
a nod to nature's nature and her own
like a beautiful small egg
she sits quiet on an unknown chair
and looks at a window wondering
whether she is outside or inside
or whether she is all of it or some of or none of it at all"
If you wonder what Marianne Moore meant when she said that "…poems are imaginary gardens with real toads in them," just read Weihe's lovely book and you'll figure it out.

Shoot and share DSLR-quality photos online, straight from the camera. With built-in Wi-Fi®, the Alpha NEX-5R even lets you download camera apps for endless creative possibilities11. And the 16.1MP APS-C size sensor lets you shoot breathtaking stills with pro-grade defocused backgrounds. Get all this and more in a camera that's about half the size of a DSLR.
The 16.1MP APS-C size HD image sensor is the same sensor format that Sony builds into their full-sized DSLR cameras. With 13 times the area of the typical point-and-shoot image sensor, Sony's APS-C sensor size delivers high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
The NEX-5R is as fast as the world you're trying to capture. Sony's advanced Fast Hybrid Autofocus combines two technologies for outstanding performance: Phase detection auto focus for quick response that is ideal when tracking fast-moving subjects and contrast-detection auto focus for added precision. It's a perfect match that delivers optimal auto focus for fast, precise focusing anywhere and everywhere.
Capture HD Movies in your choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. The AVCHD™ codec delivers stunning picture quality while the MP4 codec lets you compress to smaller files for easier upload to the web.
Lose the cords and cables - the NEX-5R's Wi-Fi capability lets you transfer photos directly to smartphones and tablets with the PlayMemories Mobile™ app11. Wi-Fi capability allows for sharing, viewing and saving photos for expanded photo-shooting enjoyment.
Learn more about camera appsThe Alpha NEX-5R lets you change your view with a tiltable 3.0" touchscreen LCD that flips up 180-degrees without sacrificing the compactness of the 5-series. See what you're shooting no matter where the camera is, from awkward angles to perfect self-portraits.
A perfectly designed control dial, Fn (function) button, and touch screen with touch shutter function lets you focus on the shot instead of the menus.
Shoot incredible DSLR-quality photos, then share them immediately right from the camera. With built-in Wi-Fi, the Sony Alpha NEX-5R camera makes instantly sharing shots with your friends easy—you can even download camera apps for endless creative possibilities11. The 16.1MP APS-C size sensor delivers breathtaking stills with professional-looking, beautifully defocused backgrounds perfect for portraits. Fast Hybrid AF combines two advanced technologies for speedy, ultra-precise focusing in any setting. Composing shots is a pleasure on the 3" touchscreen LCD—it tilts a full 180° so you can frame and snap easy self-portraits. All that in a camera that's roughly half the size of a DSLR. Includes E-mount 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 standard zoom lens (SEL1855).
The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized ? DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the typical point-and-shoot image sensor, APS-C sensor size makes the difference between "snapshots" and "photographs," delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
Wi-Fi® capability – a first for Alpha-series – lets users transfer photos directly to smartphones and tablets with the PlayMemories Mobile™ app. Wi-Fi capability allows for sharing, viewing and saving photos for expanded photo-shooting enjoyment. Photos can be easily transferred to smartphones and tablets, viewed on large screen TVs or saved to PC's.11
Control dial, Fn (function) button and touch screen (including touch shutter function) greatly facilitate operation and getting the shot that much easier.
Compatible with Sony's wide selection of E-mount series of smaller, lighter lenses designed specifically for ? NEX compact interchangeable lens cameras. Open up a world of endless creative options.
Utilizing Sony's exclusive By Pixel Super Resolution Technology, Clear Image Zoom increases the effective focal length of your lens up to 2x by digitally magnifying the center of your image with nearly imperceptible degradation. It virtually doubles the effective focal length of whatever lens you're using providing greater shooting flexibility.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography captures more scene contrast than a single exposure can handle by combining the best highlight detail from one shot and the best shadow detail from another for one incredible shot. Handles severe backlighting and other high-contrast scenes. Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.)
The Peaking AF display makes precise manual focusing much easier by highlighting the edges that are in focus in your choice of three colors (white, red, or yellow). This is especially helpful during macro or portrait photography where your focal plane can make or break your shot.
The camera can automatically detect up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults.
Control how the camera processes your images with six finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset and B&W. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation, and sharpness to your personal taste.
Dust on the image sensor leads to blemishes in the picture. To protect the sensor, Sony incorporates an advanced ultrasonic system, which effectively shakes dust off the sensor surface.
Capture HD Movies in your choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution.1 AVCHD™ codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for easier upload to the web.
The NEX-5R is equipped with a tilt-able LCD screen that flips up 180-degrees without sacrificing the compactness for which the 5-series is renowned for. This makes taking great self-portraits incredibly easy since users can precisely compose shots, choosing to include people or objects in the frame for more satisfying results.
The camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. The camera then combines the data from the 6 different images up to ISO 25600 to create a single image. This method is used to control blur in Anti-Motion Blur mode or to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures in Hand-held Twilight mode.
Simply photograph a person and Auto Portrait Framing will save an additional, optimally framed image in portrait or landscape orientation. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.
Multi-interface Smart Accessory 2 terminal greatly expands the connectivity options such as external flash units
Some cameras in this class are slow to focus. That can make you miss the shot on fast-moving subjects like sports and unpredictable subjects like pets and babies. Sony's fast Contrast Auto Focus system typically takes as little as 0.3 seconds and also offers continuous Auto Focus when shooting movies.
Tracking Focus continuously tracks a user-designated subject and is now more effective at tracking people. If the subject turns away from the camera, face-detection tracking automatically switches to subject tracking and continues tracking.
Improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off.
For cost-effective, convenient storage and sharing of your images, the camera accepts Memory Stick PRO Duo™/Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ and SD/SDHC media (Class 4 or higher recommended), (Memory card is required, all are sold separately).
Sony's advanced Fast Hybrid AF combines two technologies for outstanding performance: Phase detection auto focus for quick response that is ideal when tracking fast-moving subjects and contrast-detection auto focus for added precision. A perfect match that delivers optimal Auto Focus for fast, precise focusing in any scene

Liberal Arts Division
Dr. Jimmie McClellan |
Welcome to the Liberal Arts Division, the largest academic division at NOVA. The liberal arts are the disciplines or branches of knowledge concerned with man and his culture, and thus help us to explore and understand what it means to be human. Such an understanding is important in an age that increasingly emphasizes technology and demands a faster pace. |
Liberal Arts TV
The Division offers a broad range of disciplines and courses taught in a variety of traditional and technological formats by teachers who are among the very best. We offer a complete array of English courses, from entry-level ESL to specialized literature courses; 12 different foreign languages (including Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Ancient Greek and Latin), supported by a multimedia Language Center (Room AA160); and a wide variety of history, social science, philosophy, religion, communications, music, fine arts and photography courses.
Our peer-tutoring program (for ESL and Developmental English) and our Writing Assistance Center (in Room AA340) offer support with your written coursework.
Our Honors Program gives qualified students the opportunity to explore subject matter in greater depth in seminar atmospheres.
Finally, a relatively new program feature within this division is International Area Studies (in Latin American, Chinese, Japanese, and African-American Studies), which enables you to concentrate your studies in one of four areas combining the studies of history, literature, language, even economics and psychology.
