Not Good
Right now, there is no end in sight, no hope of a resolution, and no signs any of those things needed fixed, will be. Hats off to Boise State. They came in, played their game, and dominated in the places where they had advantages. I hope they are a really good team, a top 5 team, because if they are merely a good MWC team....well, it is hard to contemplate how mediocre an SEC team we are.
I won't have a chance to watch the replay until later today, so I am sure whatever rays of sunshine I can find will involve gallows humor about the fact that I didn't wake up in Boulder this morning.

Save your time.
The O didn't do a single thing different. The D was just ok. If you 3 and out as often as we did, the opposing O will eventually find some wholes.

...Let me start off by saying that it is a very dense and dark cloud above the bulldawg nation this morning! And as bad as i dont want to get on here and say it "Mark Richt and the entire staff has to go!" Bulldawg fans, it was obvious to me as i look back at how we were beat in every facet of the game that a new era and healing needs to start. If our AD had any sense IMO he would get on the phone and tell Peterson that he would pay him whatever it took to get him and his staff to bring respect back to our program. Fellow dawg fans with the way he outcoached us and got the ability out of lesser talent is undenyable. Period. If anyone reading this has a better opinion or option as a replacement please vent. I have seen enough to know we need change. Just think of how bad this is hurting us with recruiting! Every kid in the state that was watching this game had to feel the same way. Its just time to rebuild.

Anonomyous is dead-on...We need to clean house and start over, before it's too late...BUT, if we lose to Darth Visor, next week, the die will be set...
It was pitiful to watch our fat, out-of-shape linemen fail to protect Murray, and to beg and whine for a time-out, because they were tired...and to see whoever calls the plays continually send a speedster like Crowell, UP THE MIDDLE. What? And to see the helmets "fall off" because they won't fit over 10 lbs. of stringy dreadlocks...Disgusting display, matched only by #10 Love's celebrating his INTERFERENCE play.
To quote another old Bulldog, "if we lose to Darth Visor next week, the coaching staff will need armed protection"..I think Richt with his earphones, in la la land, was talking with maybe ReMax or Expedia..Sell the house, get outa' town..ASAP..

CARSON, Calif. – Without Landon Donovan, the LA Galaxy's attack sputtered and struggled to generate chances and tied D.C. United 0-0 at The Home Depot Center on Friday.
D.C. United controlled possession for the majority of the match and had the better of opportunities but faulty finishing kept the match scoreless.
CARSON, Calif. – Without Landon Donovan, the LA Galaxy's attack sputtered and struggled to generate chances and tied D.C. United 0-0 at The Home Depot Center on Friday.
D.C. United controlled possession for the majority of the match and had the better of opportunities but faulty finishing kept the match scoreless.
The Galaxy made do without three key players. Donovan and Donovan Ricketts are off on international duty, preparing for the Gold Cup which starts on Sunday. Juan Pablo Ángel, meanwhile, was a late scratch because of a calf injury and did not dress for the match.
Miguel López and Chad Barrett paired up top together while the midfield consisted of David Beckham, Juninho, Mike Magee and Chris Birchall.
Still, the midfield lacked Donovan's creativity and offensive firepower. D.C. United had the better of play in the first 45 minutes, coming close to breaking through on a pair of occasions, including a chance in the 25th minute that went just side of the post. Andy Najar controlled a long ball in the Galaxy's 18 and sent a pass of his own across the goal that Josh Wolff just failed to capitalize on.
The Galaxy could only counter with a pair of crosses to Barrett, but the forward was unable to do anything with the passes that came in from the flanks.
The Galaxy made several chances in the second half as Jovan Kirovski and Paolo Cardozo replaced Juninho and López, respectively.
Meanwhile, DC continued to maintain pressure on the Galaxy's backline. In the 63rd minute, Wolff had a clear opportunity in front of the goal as a ball fell to him on the edge of the six-yard box. The veteran striker however, took a second or two to fire a shot on goal and let Josh Saunders off the hook by hitting the outside of the net.
Charlie Davies, making his return from a hamstring injury, nearly bagged the go-ahead goal in the 81st minute. After racing past Omar Gonzalez, the speedster evaded Saunders and pushed a shot towards the goal. However, Davies was off-balance and falling over when he fired off his attempt and wound up pushing it wide of the goal.
The Galaxy move to 8-2-6, still atop the Western Conference standings. Their homestand continues next Saturday when they host Toronto FC. United, meanwhile move to 4-4-4 on the season and host San Jose next weekend at RFK Stadium in DC.

Donald Sterling stands to make a huge profit off of his original $US12.5 million investment to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers in 1981. But if he is forced to sell now, he stands to lose hundreds of millions more as the team's value will skyrocket in the coming years.
Forbes recently valued the Clippers at $US575 million.
However, a number of factors are coming together at the right time that will make the Clippers immensely more valuable and will likely push the ultimate sale price past $US1 billion, here's why.
Television revenue
The single-biggest factor that is going to push the value of the Clippers skyward is the same factor pushing up values of franchises in all sports, television revenue.
On the national level, television revenue for the NBA is expected to more than double from $US930 million annually to more than $US2 billion annually following the 2015-16 season.
More importantly for the Clippers, their own local deal also expires after the 2015-16 season and they will make substantially more in their new deal than the $22.5 million per year they are making now.
The cross-town Lakers recently started a new 20-year local television contract that pushed their local television revenue from $30 million annually to an average value of $US200 million per year, an increase of nearly 600%.
If the Clippers see the same increase, their local television revenue would jump to more than $US125 million per year.
Big market
Let's face it, this is Los Angeles, one of the two biggest markets in the NBA. It is so big, one could argue that L.A. is more important to the NBA than it is to the other major sports leagues.
It has been 33 years since a team in L.A. was for sale. As a result, some big names are jumping at the chance to own the Clippers, a team that has the potential to become a marquis franchise.
The Lakers are a mess
The Lakers are a team that is struggling right now and that has opened the door a bit to let the Clippers grab a bigger share of L.A.'s attention.
Celebrities like winners and big stories. Casual fans like who the celebrities like.
With the Lakers missing the playoffs and Kobe Bryant nearing the end with no obvious replacement on the horizon, attendance will remain strong for the Clippers (100.8% capacity this season compared to 98.8% for the Lakers).
More importantly, the Clippers TV ratings will narrow the gap with the Lakers. This season, Lakers games were seen in an average of 122,000 homes while Clippers games were seen in approximately 72,000 homes according to SportsBusiness Daily.
That will add even more value to their next television contract.
The Clippers are seriously undervalued
The Clippers will likely never be the Lakers. But the only reason the Clippers are just the 13th most valuable franchise in the NBA and nearly $US800 million less valuable than the Lakers is because the team was poorly run for so many years.
For many years, the Clippers were the laughing-stock of the NBA, making the playoffs just four times in the first 30 years of Sterling's ownership.That's not easy to do when more than half the teams in the league make the playoffs each year.
At the very least, a well-run Clippers franchise should be a lot closer to the value of the Lakers even if still worth less.
Every team is prospering
The Milwaukee Bucks were considered the least valuable franchise in the NBA with a value of just $US405 million according to Forbes.com.
Yet, they recently sold for $US550 million, a 36% increase over their valuation.
If the Clippers were undervalued by just that same amount, their actual value would be closer to $US800 million. But the Clippers obviously have much more going for them than the lowly Bucks.
Good players
Thanks to the intervention of then-commissioner David Stern, a trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers was vetoed and Paul was eventually dealt to the Clippers.
The Clippers, with Paul, Blake Griffin, and solid supporting cast, are no longer the joke of the NBA and are suddenly one of the best team's in the league.
It took Sterling 30 years to finally own a good basketball team and somebody else is going to reap most of the benefits.
A suddenly loveable team with a national audience
The national perception of the Clippers had already improved with the likeable Paul and Griffin, the high-flying Lob City, and a championship-calibre team.
But ironically, love for the Clippers on the national level has been pushed to an all-time high because of the racist comments made by their owner.
Suddenly everybody loves the Clippers and has rallied to the side of the players, coaches, and even their fans.
The result is a team whose marketability at the national level will suddenly rank with the likes of the Lakers, Heat, and Knicks and whose value should be much higher.
Potential owners will see these factors and the potential return on investment and the bidding for the Clippers will likely go sky-high.

Special Note Please Read:
Recent Windows updates involving Internet Explorer have made the menus quit working on some machines. This is certainly not unique to our web site. Search the web for "JavaScript doesn't work in Internet Explorer 10" and you will find that it is a wide-spread problem. Until recently, it has only affected Windows 8 computers, but Windows update is now updating Windows 7 computers to IE10.
People who use Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari are not being affected, so one solution would be to switch to Chrome or Firefox, but if you don't want to change, here is what I did to fix the Windows update to Internet Explorer 10 which caused the menus to quit working in Internet Explorer.
The drop down menus should now work. If not, let us know.

The Freedom Flotilla II turned "Flytilla" Gaza mission Forsaken and Fizzled out, but not a Flop
For a while it seemed afloat but only momentarily before this fleet floundered, most notably at the port of Greece. Here it underwent what was considered a form of sabotage akin to that afflicted by Israel last time round (see our photo-gallery flotilla review) but this time in the form of Greece's over-zealous and probably illegal paperwork and security check facade- saving Israel the trouble of later intercepting this fleet of activists or as it termed them 'provocateurs' which may have resulted in more than just a beareaucratic injury to the crews, given last year's bloody boat scenario. Continue reading below »
Scuppering Aspiring Sailors who refuse the tag of failed mission
Last time, May 2010, Turkey was caught up in a naval tussle with Israel, when the flotilla expedition that disembarked from its shores, and sailing under its flag, was not only not made welcome in Israel but was attacked and suffered 9 fatalities. Turkey was less than pleased and for a while fuming at Israel's hostile response to its sea charity work. But now. the Greeks and Turks have never quite seen eye to eye and inevitably have played things differently.
Greeks show-down with the Turks
Greece has banned all boats in the Gaza Flotilla from leaving port. Greek authorities cite security concerns, given last year's raids by Israeli forces on a similar flotilla.
Greece has acted the proxy Israel, screening these boats for 'security' and thwarting their pro-Pal (Palestine) mission in polar contrats to the Turkish side stance last year. This said, Turkey who was tangibly missing from this year's boat protest -- IHH - the proudly Hamas-affiliated group from last year's tragic flotilla meltdown chose not to sail this year-- is on a bid to mend diplomatic ties with israel- historically a firm ally. They woudn't let a flotilla come between years of friendship would they? Nor would they wish to let former and long-standing foe Greece get all the good-guy-kudos.
The Greeks' behaviour has not escaped Turkey's notice and has resulted in a form of bidding war between the two leaders to help Israel flop the flotilla. As a senior IDF officer told the Jewish Chronicle this week: "We will make peace with the Palestinians long before the Greeks and Turks resolve their differences."
For the last fortnight, a fleet of 10 boats (4 up on last year's 6 boat fleet) attempted a mission to symoblically challenge the blockade Israel has sustained for 5 years in a gesture of charity, peace and a delivery of goods and supplies, letters, and above all a show of solidarity with the Palestinian 'prisoners' people's plight.
Until 10 July the Canadian big gun boat the Tahrir was still fit and fighting, now retired together with the bulk of the rest first to fall out was the American effort in the Audacity of Hope. By Monday this week, all but 2 had effectively sunk- 2 boats remained, a French one and a Swedish-Norwegian-Greek ship. By Tuesday one boat was said to be still moored under Greece's strict watch.
By Tuesday this week, reports of another forced retiree were awash, while today there are still probably futile negotiations in place to keep or indeed set the last boat afloat. If it can liberate itself from Greece's red-taped clutch.
By now the mission is all but fizzled out after some of the fleet floundered and fought nobly before their crew either gave up and returned to land life, and jobs whose leave had run its course. These retiring delegates to a somehow failed mission, left on the promise this was not the last we'd seen of them and that they'd be back. It looked they'd been beaten by a series of bureaucratic and petty-paper legislation and an aggressive campaign of distortion, disinformation and sabotage mounted by Israel and its network, that may have scuppered the sailings, but not the sailor spiritis! These were far from brow-beaten as they celebrated the attention they had commanded and their public barring from the legitimate use of international waters or clear passage to depart a country's shores. The bending of universal naval law in the name of siding with Israel. For Israel even the 'free high seas' mantra was contravened
If not Flotilla, then "Flytilla"
Quite a fiasco has ensued on this round of flotilla drama, with protests aimed at the Greeks ensuing world-wide, and bouyed up by inspiration from an Arab Spring-turned Summer. When additional supporters fo the fleet and cause decided to look to the skies for clear passage instead - forging an Aerial Flotilla of sorts, termed Flytilla in honour of the sea fleet pioneers- and were foiled by air too by the influence of Israeli comandeering of ocean and sky!- that was when they actually felt vindicated in their mission for the public exposure they had caused Israel.
Though it may seem as if the Palestinian solidarity movement suffered a dent and a sinking, it is actually Israel that was harshly beaten here, for Israel has managed to expose its level of hysteria: it seems that under 10 tatty yachts and a few hundred no frill air passengers have got Israel out of sorts and clamoring to manipulate international air and sea law- as always, heavy-handed reactions (perhaps not bloody but stridently intolerant and paranoid).
Say the activists and supporters, "Both the Flotilla and the Flytilla are exemplary cases of 'civil society campaigns'-- they were intended to mobilise international public support using peaceful and democratic means."
Israealis even suggested that these Palestinian supporters find some other Arab cause to adopt: since so many around. Israeli anti-demonstrator Michelle Marshalian, apparently unaffected by the beefed-up police presence at Ben-Gurion airport, Tel Aviv, held a sign urging protesters to go instead to Syria, Libya and other Arab states roiled by revolts.

Geneva Human Rights Commission
Our Partnership with Geneva Human Rights Commission: An Assessment of Fair Housing Knowledge
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that any recipient of federal housing funds be obligated to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) and to be in compliance with the Fair Housing Act and other federal civil rights laws. In other words, organizations must proactively take steps to extend and enhance housing opportunities to all members of a community and eliminate discriminatory actions in all areas of the housing market. This includes private and public sectors. The Geneva Human Rights Commission (GHRC) received a grant from HUD in partnership with HWS to create an AFFH Research and Resource Center in Geneva, NY. We are engaged in Phase One of the project which involves:
- Database of recipients of federal/state housing funds
- Local/regional AFFH Quotient Survey
- Analysis of segregation patterns in Geneva
- Assessment of fair lending practices in Geneva
- Accessible housing needs analysis in Geneva

They still were at it Friday morning, chopping away half the nature from the Nature Trail between Sycamore Road and First Street in DeKalb.
We received several calls this week about the work going on. Reporter David Thomas visited the scene and wrote a story about it that appeared in Wednesday's Daily Chronicle.
"A lot of people are very upset," said Ron Cress of DeKalb. "People were crying earlier in the week."
I decided to check out the clear cut beneath the power lines for myself Friday, and I met Ron walking on the trail. He exchanged shrugs with a woman who rode past on a bicycle as we walked through the work zone.
You can see why people were moved to tears. One side of the path was a tangle of trees and brush; on the other, power lines towered above a bed of woodchips.
This upsetting episode might be an opportunity, though. I put this to Ron, who volunteers with the Nature Conservancy at the Nachusa Grasslands in Franklin Grove.
"The only hope for this area is to do what they're doing in some respects," Cress said. "If you really would like to get the land back to its native state, you have to get rid of all the junk stuff, the honeysuckle and grapevines."
Simply clear-cutting through the tangle won't do the job by itself, Cress said. If the idea is to create a prairie landscape, someone's going to have to plant those specimens and care for them, too.
Based on the way that the undisturbed landscape looks on the other side of the path, there hasn't been a lot of landscape maintenance.
Maintaining the vegetation along the path is a labor-intensive proposition, said DeKalb Park District Executive Director Cindy Capek.
The park district maintains the Nature Trail, and Capek said she runs on the trail every day, but the matter is out of the district's hands.
"We can't do anything to stop it," Capek said.
That's because ComEd, which owns the power transmission lines, has a 24-foot right of way on either side of the power poles where they can do whatever cutting necessary.
Turns out ComEd can't really do much about it, either. The power lines that run along the nature trail are high-voltage. They carry power from power plants to area substations, which then distribute electricity at a lower voltage to homes and businesses. This particular line runs from south DeKalb up to a substation on the north side near Glidden and Twombly roads, and also links with Sycamore's power grid.
High-voltage lines fall under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission guidelines, and those regulations have become tighter since the last time trimming was done in the area, ComEd spokesman Paul Callighan said.
"[They] require clearing out the trees completely underneath the high-voltage lines," Callighan said. "So we were forced in the trimming cycle here to meet these requirements."
Woodchippers will be humming in the area for another week or two, Callighan said.
Capek said park officials would keep an eye on what begins to grow in the clear-cut space beneath the lines.
"I think as it's coming up, we'll try to contain invasive species," she said.
As for planting native grasses in the area, Capek said the park district would be watching to see what grows up in the spring and beyond.
"We'll evaluate that and say, 'Is that something we can seed?' … and look at what begins to come up naturally," she said.
Keeping perspective: To some degree, this is the price of modern convenience. If we can't afford to bury power lines everywhere, then they must be respected.
We can't complain when wind storms knock out power for days – remember the prolonged power outages after the "derecho" windstorm that hit in July 2011? – and then complain when the utility company cuts down trees to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The trees being cleared aren't exactly old-growth forest, and clearing them away presents an opportunity to restore the area to a more native state.
But whatever grows back in the spring and summer certainly won't provide the shade and animal habitat that made the trail so special for many people either.
If people who care about the trail harness the anger they're feeling now to help restore the ecosystem to a state that's better than it was before this week, then something positive can come of this whole thing.
For his part, Cress said he doesn't plan to let the matter drop.
"My push is to really try to hold ComEd and the park district's feet to the fire to come in and restore it with native material," he said.
Changes online: Even if, like me, you love starting your morning with a cup of coffee and the newspaper, chances are that you've read the Daily Chronicle online at Daily-Chronicle.com from time to time.
After all, it's easier to get up-to-the-minute news and sports coverage on our website, as well as our complementary websites, including HuskieWire.com.
There are lots of exclusive offerings online that you can't get in print, including local sports and news videos, photo slideshows, daily web polls, local blogs, local deals and coupons, and more
The growth of the Internet has changed newspaper industry for the better. It's really unbelievable how many ways we can bring you news about people and places you care about than we could 10 or 15 years ago.
We've never really charged people for our content, and we don't want to start now.
In an effort to avoid charging people to access our websites, we are seeking other ways to make money with them, in part by partnering with companies such as Google.
In July, we rolled out a microsurvey program on our site, which was suspended after complaints from our audience.
Some people were understandably concerned about their privacy. Others said they felt if they subscribed to the newspaper, they shouldn't have to answer any of the questions.
We heard you. We went back to the drawing board. Now we've returned with an adjusted system that will work better.
Beginning Monday, when users attempt to read their first full story on Daily-Chronicle.com, a box will appear that says "Answer a quick question to access this article".
The viewer then has the option of answering one or two quick survey questions (such as, Are you a small business owner?), or logging into our site to continue reading the story. For those who are not yet registered, there is a link to do so.
If you log in, you don't have to answer the questions. Becoming a registered user of our website is free, and although you have to provide your name and email address, you do not have to agree to receive any marketing information.
The surveys are anonymous, and Google guarantees us it does not mine the data to uncover respondents' identities or attempt to send them unsolicited marketing pitches.
You won't get spammed by someone in a Nigerian internet café claiming he's a Hong Kong financier who wants to park $350 million in your bank account for a couple of days.
People will be asked the survey questions only once in a 24-hour period. If they take you more than 20 seconds to answer, you're probably overthinking it.
Best of all, there's no cost to you to register, answer the surveys or view the stories on our website.
That's the way we'd like to keep things.
If you have questions or problems with the new system, feel free to contact me at 815-756-4841, ext. 2257, or News Editor Jillian Duchnowski at ext. 2221.

Alimony bill expected to be a hot topic
By Gary Blankenship
Senior Editor
Participants in one of the most bruising battles from the 2012 Legislature are rearming for the 2013 session.
Bills favored by Florida Alimony Reform (FAR) — which would eliminate permanent alimony among other changes — are being introduced in the Florida Legislature and the Bar's Family Law Section is preparing to oppose them.
With the approval of the Bar Board of Governors, the section has hired a communications company to help, saying it was outgunned in the public relations arena in 2012, when an alimony overhaul bill passed the House but died in the Senate.
As this
went to press, Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, had filed
, which had the wholehearted support of FAR. Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, was expected to file a similar bill in the Senate.
Family Law Section Chair Carin Porras said the disagreement between the section and FAR is a matter of perspective.
"It's not like FAR is one side and we're the other side. Their group is basically made up of people who pay alimony and are not happy about that and want to get rid of the obligation. We represent both sides and it's our job to make sure the laws are fair for people on both sides of that question," she said.
She also disputed that permanent alimony is a serious problem.
For one thing, "The problem is they keep calling it permanent and it's really not. While the term may be permanent, what it really is is a long-term alimony that can always be modified if the circumstances are appropriate," Porras said. "We've seen a tremendous amount of them [modifications] in the past three or four years based on folks losing their job, being laid off, or making less money."
She added, "Eliminating it entirely would be detrimental to the folks out there in need of that type of long-term award. Even though society has changed . . . there are still homes where there are older folks or families where they have made the decision for one person to stay home and care for the children. That affects those persons' ability at some time in the future to support themselves if those marriages terminate."
Porras said the section disagrees with the FAR portrayal of Florida's alimony laws as outmoded or worse. FAR, on its website, says that those laws "reflect attitudes and realities from America in the 1950s, when the divorcing husband was the sole breadwinner and always considered 'the bad guy' in divorce, while the wife was considered 'the helpless victim.' These antiquated stereotypes still drive much of what happens in the state's family courts. Because of these laws and attitudes, it is common for healthy, employed women in their 30s and 40s to receive permanent alimony. . . .
"It is not uncommon for people in all circumstances to retrain and reinvent themselves well into their 40s, 50s, and even later. Women now make up half the workforce, and across the economy, women's wages have increased from 62 percent of men's wages in 1979 to 80 percent in 2008."
But Porras said Florida laws are among the most progressive in the nation, having been extensively overhauled in 2010 and 2011. FAR members, however, downplay those changes, she said, adding that many of their members settled their divorces and alimony many years ago under older laws and case law. The new laws need time to see how they work, she said.
Those recent changes recognized that permanent alimony may not be appropriate for moderate-term marriages of seven to 17 years, and so established durational alimony as a tool in addition to rehabilitative, lump sum, short-term, and other alimony options available to the courts, she said.
"There are cases in moderate-term marriages where it should not be necessary or equitable for an award of permanent alimony," Porras said. Durational alimony "fills the gap and the courts had another tool in their arsenal."
She also disputed a FAR claim that current alimony laws prevent the paying spouses from retiring because of an inability to reduce alimony payments.
"Retirement is considered a substantial change in circumstance. . . . If you're not able to pay that, you can go back and get a modification. What FAR wants is for it [an alimony reduction upon retirement] to be automatic," Porras said. "The problem is there are people who retire from different types of professions, and their income may not decrease at all. They make take another job."
The court may act if a paying spouse wanted to retire at an early age and sought a reduction that would harm the recipient spouse, she said.
"We have to look at both sides of it. People should be able to retire, but you've also got to look at the financial circumstances of the person receiving the alimony," Porras said. "We could be looking at a bunch of folks who don't have the ability to support themselves and that's going to be a problem for the state."
Many of the critics, Porras said, had divorce settlements years ago under old statutes and case law. Some signed agreements to provide permanent, nonmodifiable alimony and now are unhappy with those contracts.
In addition, Porras said, the bill threatens to upend a system that is working fairly well to address what is a small minority of cases. Alimony, she noted, is paid only if one party can demonstrate a need and the other party has the ability to pay.
"We're talking about a small number of cases, 95 percent of our cases settle and don't go to trial at all," she said.
"Then only in a certain percentage of those is alimony a consideration at all."
While FAR insists its legislation would reduce legal costs and cut the number of trials, Porras said it would have the opposite effect because HB 231 allows alimony agreements made years ago to be reconsidered under the proposed new law, although in some cases after a wait of up to two years after the July 1, 2013, effective date.
"What they're proposing, in terms of retroactive modification, would result in additional case filings and litigation and increase the costs," she said.
"If this were to pass, the courts would be flooded with these folks going back . . . and trying to eliminate their alimony."
HB 231 would do away with permanent alimony in almost all cases and make other changes. It would create the presumption of no alimony in "short-term" marriages up to 10 years, and there would be no presumption in favor of either party for alimony in "mid-term" marriages of 10 to 20 years. In the latter cases, the party seeking alimony would have to prove the need for alimony by a preponderance of the evidence, and payments would be limited to the lesser of 50 percent of the differences in the spouse's income or 20 to 30 percent of the paying spouse's net income, based on the length of the marriage.
Alimony would be presumed as needed on "long-term" marriages of over 20 years, but would be limited to the lesser of 50 percent of the income difference or 33 percent of the paying spouse's net income. An extra 10 percent could be awarded if the receiving spouse is determined to be disabled under Social Security standards.
The bill also imputes an income to receiving spouses based on past employment and depending how recent that employment is. It would also allow automatic termination of alimony when the paying spouse reaches the "age for full Social Security retirement benefits," unless the recipient spouse shows the clear and convincing need for continued alimony. Alimony would be reduced when the receiving spouse remarries or enters a "supportive relationship" that improves that spouse's income. However, if the paying spouse remarries or enters a supportive relationship, assets and income of that partner could not be used to justify an increase in alimony payments.
(Under current statutes and case law, Porras said, the income of a second partner of a paying spouse does not enter into alimony calculations unless the paying spouse has done something like transfer a business into the new partner's name in order to reduce income available for paying alimony. Alimony also ends when the receiving spouse remarries.)
In the absence of clear and convincing evidence, alimony would be limited to 50 percent of the length of the marriage.
The bill would also limit the ability of a judge to require the paying spouse to obtain life insurance to guarantee alimony payments to "special circumstances," and even then it would be limited to a decreasing term life policy.
Depending on the length of marriage, those with alimony agreements would be able to file for a modification under the terms of the new law either immediately upon its July 1, 2013, effective date or at the most after July 1, 2015.
Alan Frisher, co-director and spokesman for FAR, said the group is hopeful that the legislation will pass, despite stepped-up opposition from the section.
"The House passed it last year 83-30," he noted. "This year we've already canvassed many senators who have told us of their approval of wanting alimony reform. We're very hopeful and confident of it passing."
Porras and Frisher said their organizations have been talking with each other.
"We've come to an understanding on certain points, but we are still separated on others," Frisher said.
"We still have more discussion that must occur. We're hopeful and I'm thrilled that we're actually having these discussions."

We interrupt all this Eating and Liking all over town to bring you some home-cooked food.
I spend so much time trying out all kinds of places around town, a good bit of the time when the weekend rolls around, I just want a pizza and a couch. It's my daughter who's always asking if we can go out to eat, budding foodie that she is.
A few weeks ago, I shared my special roast pork recipe with you. This time, in honor of fall and the lovely weather we've been getting in the morning around Savannah, I'd like to share something else.
Is it cool enough for lobster mac 'n' cheese?
I've enjoy this dish at a few places around town. Wright Square Cafe in Sandfly did it right before it closed. ANDAZ Savannah (formerly AVIA) had an outstanding lobster mac. But now they have a new menu.
If you know where I can find a good version, let me know. In the meantime, give my recipe a try. Chances are you will Eat It and Like It.
Sharp cheddar and Gruyere are simply amazing in this dish. Let me know how yours turns out.
Quick Bites
• The Public Kitchen and Bar on Liberty and Bull streets is now open. I'm giving them a chance to catch their breath before I pay them a visit. Let you know how that goes. In the meantime, you can find them on Facebook. Their website isn't up and running fully yet so you aren't going to get a peek at the menu there. I've heard about some of the dishes. I can't wait to get there.
• Bonna Bella Yacht Club's menu has gotten a face-lift. Roberto Leoci has started operations in their kitchen. Suckling Pig Tacos or smoked chicken tacos your thing? I'm hearing great things so far and can't wait to try it. Let me know if you do.
• Another Eat It and Like It Foodie Tour is in the books - great time last Sunday had by the capacity crowd. ANDAZ, Pink House, Noble Fare, Leoci's and FORM. Next month, Alligator Soul joins the list. We hope to see you soon.
Until then, see you on TV.

• 4 tablespoons butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the dish
• Kosher salt
• 1 pound of shells, penne pasta or elbow macaroni
• 2 small shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 4 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 bay leaf

A secret word may have been all that separated underage buyers and the alcohol they were after, and undercover video tells the story.
Authorities say a ring of Middle Tennessee high school students knew just where to go, and saying the right thing let them walk out of a store carrying entire cases of beer.
The owner of that store is now in trouble, and investigators say it should serve as a warning to others.
Police say a parent of a Father Ryan High School student tipped them off to what was happening at the Stop N Shop on White Bridge Road.
Officers then sent in undercover teenagers to buy beer.
Surveillance video shows the clerk denying the teen at first, but he knows what to say: "Not even for $40?"
The clerk then checks outside for police, gets the beer, takes the teen's money and even loads the beer into the kid's car.
Investigators say they caught the clerk three times that night and the owner once.
Now, both are in trouble with the law.
"It makes me angry that anyone would jeopardize our young people just to make a dollar," said DeWayne Holman, executive director of the Nashville Prevention Partnership.
Investigators believe this has been going on for a year now, and mostly it was private school students who had been referred by another.
They say sometimes the store clerk would even pay homeless people to stand outside and keep an eye out for police.

NEW ORLEANS -- Jacoby Jones took two steps, from 8 yards deep in his own end zone, and Cary Williams knew he was gone. Gone, past every player on the field. Gone, into the record books. Gone, into Superdome lore and gone, into the pantheon of players who have a rightful claim to a Super Bowl MVP award.
"That return was the game right there," said Williams, the Baltimore Ravens cornerback, still scribbling autographs an hour after his team had won Super Bowl XLVII, 34-31.
It wasn't really "the game," of course -- there was a 34-minute power outage, a 17-point San Francisco 49ers power surge and a Jim Harbaugh foot stomp, all of which happened after Jones' 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. But it also kind of was. Just like Jones' first punt return, which nearly crossed the 50-yard line and set up the Ravens' first score, and just like his 56-yard catch-fall-get-up-and-juke touchdown. The moments were electric, they were dynamic and they juiced up the Ravens, whose whole postseason run was fueled by something more than just good play.
Sure, Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, who officially won the award on Sunday, deserves to have the MVP trophy on his mantle -- if not for his 1,140-yard, 11-touchdown, zero-interception postseason, then for his gleeful, joking postgame promise to "stick it" to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti in upcoming contract talks. But Jones deserves it, too. For his 290 total yards. For his two touchdowns. For the work ethic that made him the first Raven to head down to the Superdome on Wednesday, to practice catching punts in the lights. For the constant and contagious impish charm. For the restaurant-grade vats of home-cooking he convinced his mom to bring to the team hotel last Monday night.
"I got a ring! I'm going to Bourbon Street!" Jones rapped in the locker room, jumping around in his black bandanna and bloodied jersey.
"We are just so grateful to have him," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
Jones predicted this victory more than a year ago, when he was still a Houston Texan, telling Tracy Porter he'd win his first Super Bowl ring in his native New Orleans. But that was hope and bombast. Jones' mom really called the win back in Week 2, following a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Harbaugh already had boarded the team bus, but then he saw Jones talking to his mother. The coach immediately got up, climbed down the steps, stuck out his hand and introduced himself -- just like a college coach on a recruiting trip or, maybe, a man who means it when he says his players' families are his family, too.
That afternoon, Jones' mother told her son she'd be cooking dinner for Harbaugh when the Ravens came to New Orleans -- knowing full well there was only one way that would happen. Last week, before this Super Bowl win, Jones laughed while remembering it.
"She liked him that much," Jones said. "She knew he'd bring us all here."
There is definitely an "us" about the Ravens, from the 600 friends and family members who came to the team's final Saturday walk-through to the mobs of supporters that flooded the field for the presentation of the Lombardi Trophy. Ray Rice scanned the crowd frantically, saying, "Where's my daughter?" Two smaller women hugged big Bryant McKinnie around the waist, one saying, "We're Terrell Suggs' aunties." Torrey Smith's three younger brothers -- one a mirror image of him, the other two images of each other -- wearing patches in honor of the brother they lost in September, refused to leave their biggest brother's orbit. "He's always been the strongest," Trey said.
It was a family game, what with the two brothers facing off and the brother-in-law, Indiana coach Tom Crean, taking pictures of his wife and sisters-in-law and assorted nieces and nephews in the corner of the Ravens' end zone before kickoff. Jack and Jackie Harbaugh sat for interviews about their sons, and John told jokes about Jim, 15 months younger than him, cheating at cards when they were kids. And in getting to that family game, the Ravens were a family team, one Jones said was unlike any he'd ever experienced.
Jones said he loved Houston and was happy there, but in Baltimore, he said, "I found family. We're all brothers. That's why."
That's why the Ravens went on this postseason run, knocking out Chuck Pagano and Andrew Luck the first week, Peyton Manning the next week and then the supposedly-invincible Tom Brady in the AFC title game. That's why the Ravens didn't slump after losing four of their last five regular-season games, why they overcame potentially season-killing injuries, why they withstood a late 49ers barrage and why Jones could happily dub his fellow receivers "The Avengers" -- and get each one to guess the identity he'd assigned them.
Jones said he was never nervous and, like fellow New Orleanian Ed Reed, never thought he needed words to tell his teammates this city would be their home. He said he couldn't care less about an MVP trophy ("I have a Super Bowl ring!"), and he raved about Flacco, saying three times, "That's my quarterback!"
Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell called Jones' hometown win "a storybook ending," while McKinnie more plainly called Jones "our spark" before saying, "Did you see how fast he ran?"
He simply ran to daylight, as Jones would later say. A mere 5-foot-7 on his high school graduation day, Jones, who is now 6-2, jokes that he still runs like a little guy. He said that both of Sunday's touchdowns were bigger than the 70-yard score he hauled in near the end of regulation in the divisional round at Denver, a touchdown catch that tied the game and sank Manning's own storybook ending.
Jones did a New Orleans tribute dance after his first touchdown on Sunday, then honored the retiring Ray Lewis with a version of Lewis' "Squirrel Dance" after the second. And he had a hug for everyone after it all.
"It's guys like him that make this team," Williams said later. "Smiling, happy and giving it everything they have."

FFLs and Law Enforcement Agencies, however, may take any number of additional similar pistols at the same per-gun price and with no extra shipping charges. From the early days of a free Czech Republic, here is a specimen of Czech gunsmithy's finest, best known product, the CZ-75 pistol. First introduced in 1975, CZ led the way with this fine pistol as the premiere Wonder Nine. Czech engineers took John M. Browning's 1935 Hi-Power design, strengthened it, and developed a smooth and accurate masterpiece in double action. This is an issue weapon from the Municipal Police of Ostrava, Czech Republic. Year code is stamped above the extractor, 1992, the fourth year of Czech freedom. The CZ-75 is a traditional double- and single action auto with a main safety that allows cocked-and-locked carry. This pistol does not have a firing pin block or safety, so its single action trigger pull is crisper than most autos. The .227 wide serrated spur hammer has a half cock position for safety-off double action carry. Slide is serrated rear for easy operation; and its 4.7 inch barrel with double cam slide lock matches its Browning ancestor. Chrome finished smooth face .315 combat trigger yields a smooth, consistent double action trigger pull of 7/8 inch distance; single action trigger travel measures about 1/3 inch with minimal felt creep. Specimens we have gauged pull at 4 pound vicinity on single action. Sights are stake-on serrated ramp front with dovetailed, well protected dot configuration rear fixed sight. Construction is entirely steel, with CZ's highly durable Poly-Coat semi-gloss black finish. Grips are issue CZ logo black polymer. Ease of disassembly and reassembly exceeds all other pistols on the market even today, with hash marks on the disassembly position for easy removal of the slide stop / barrel link pin; disassembly yields grip frame, barrel, guide rod and spring. Weight empty is 35 ounces. Surface detractions on this pistol is only moderate, edge whitening, moderate contact surface wear to the grip frame backstrap and moderate toning to the white steel barrel surface. We classify it as Very Good, 80 to 85 percent vicinity; photos should suffice for our distinguished shoppers to check our grading, the pistol buyer will receive will be substantially identical and from the same Department trade. Left side of slide is marked with the importer's stamp, PW Arms Redmond WA, as required by US Law; and then the CZ logo and Model 75 cal. 9 Para, with Made in Czechoslovakia on the left side of the frame. This pistol has been well maintained by their Ostrava officers; and it is excellent mechanically; bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. The CZ-75 will digest any ammunition, from lead bullet reloads to steel case Russian to the finest Federal Hydra-Shok sharp-nosed hollowpoints. That is something one cannot say about competitors Glock and HK, to name a couple. Another strong suite is their slides mate precisely to the frames, full steel-rail-to-steel-rail contact, not with a slide resting on four small runners like their Austrian competitors. This is a real pistol, not a piece of plastic. It comes in one of the original issue factory boxes from Ostrava Municipal Police, with an original issue steel 15 shot magazine. We're offering the original CZ-75 in the photos for only $ 339.00 Not transferable to civilians in California, District of Colombia, or Massachusetts. Add any number of Mec-Gar 16 or 17 round magazines $29 each with no extra shipping.

Reporting from the big cable TV industry event this week, Broadcasting & Cable's Andrea Morabito writes (5/22/12):
Hardball host Chris Matthews argued that because of the rise of opinion-based news networks, the non-critical aspect of the media is gone, going as far to say that the reporting that verified the U.S. administration's claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2002 would not happen today because of cable news.
"I would like to think there would be a reckoning we didn't have then because of modern media," Matthews said. "24/7 is good because it's not only breadth, it's depth. Without cable, it is just network [television] thinking, embedded thinking, which is dangerous in a democracy."
Umm… He's aware of the fact that cable news channels existed in 2002, right?
In fact, here's some of what he and his cable colleagues were doing:
—MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews asks of World Bank/IMF protests in Washington DC: "Those people out in the streets, do they hate America?" Conservative pundit Cliff May responds: "Yes, I'm afraid a lot of them do. They hate America. They align themselves with Saddam Hussein. They align themselves with terrorists all over the world." Hardball correspondent David Shuster later adds that "anti-Americanism is in the air."
