Kevin Kolb went 11-for-17 for 126 yards against the Bengals.
For the second straight game, he failed to throw a touchdown, but also avoided throwing an interception. Through two preseason games, Kolb is 17-for-28 for 221 yards.
I took a look back at all 17 of his throws against Cincinnati, and once again, detailed what I saw in the space below.
But here are some things that stood out overall.
1. There was very little opportunity for receivers to pick up yards after the catch in this one. Not necessarily because of Kolb's throws, but probably more because of the calls, protection and timing.
2. Kolb threw six incompletions. But really, there was only one throw (you could argue a second) where he misfired to an open receiver. Of course, that throw was big, as it was the ball to Jason Avant in the end zone that could have been a touchdown. The others were either bad decisions (throwing to crowded areas/covered receivers) or other circumstances, like when he threw the ball away, or when Leonard Weaver dropped a pass that would have resulted in a loss if completed.
3. Michael Vick came into the game in the third quarter and scrambled for 13 yards on a 1st-and-10. Kolb re-entered the game and threw three straight incompletions, including the miss to Avant. Coincidence? I'm not sure. Marty Mornhinweg admitted last week that disrupting Kolb's rhythm could be an issue, but he thought the Eagles' starting quarterback would be OK. Something to keep an eye on for sure when the Eagles shuffle Vick in and out with the first unit.
4. Kolb has been extremely impressive throwing on the run. When he's had to scramble or roll out, he's been on the money with his passes. On the flip side, he definitely had some happy feet (and admitted as much in the in-game TV interview), where he moved out of the pocket even though there was not a lot of pressure. It's understandable, considering how the offensive line played at times, but something he will have to get a good feel for. In other instances, he showed that he has no reservations about standing in the pocket, releasing the ball and taking a hit.
Here's the breakdown of all 17 passes:
Throw 1: On the first play of the game, Stacy Andrews was bowled over by Bengals defensive lineman Jonathan Fanene, who got a good shot in on Kolb just as he released the ball. Kolb, working out of the shotgun, took a shot deep to DeSean Jackson, as the Eagles were backed up at their own 7-yard line. The Bengals had two DBs near Jackson, and the pass (which traveled about 38 yards) was incomplete. I have no problem with Kolb taking a chance deep here.
Throw 2: On the very next play, Kolb felt some pressure from the Bengals' left defensive end. It looked like LeSean McCoy didn't get a very good chip on the play. Once again out of the shotgun, Kolb stepped up, rolled to his right and made a good throw to McCoy, who was pushed out of bounds 1 yard short of the first down marker. Good job to avoid pressure and make a strong, accurate throw to the sideline.
Throw 3: Kolb took a short drop in the shotgun and hit Jeremy Maclin's outside shoulder for a gain of 6. Nice, high-percentage throw on first down.
Throw 4: This was one of the throws I mentioned earlier where Kolb stayed in the pocket, got rid of the ball just in time and took a hit. We saw him do this in the two starts last season. Lined up under center, Kolb took a short drop and hit Jackson for 7 yards over the middle on 2nd-and-8. Linebacker Rey Maualuga came untouched from Kolb's blind side and got a hit on him.
Throw 5: Kolb lined up under center and drew the defense offsides on 3rd-and-1. The Eagles were lined up with two running backs, two receivers and a tight end. It looked like the Bengals safety was responsible for Leonard Weaaver if he went out into his route, but when Weaver stayed in to block, the safety blitzed Kolb. Kolb sensed it from his left side and rolled to his right immediately, bought some time and hit Jackson for an 18-yard gain. Good recognition, good athleticism and good throw.
Throw 6: This was probably one of those where Kolb could have stayed in the pocket longer. The Eagles ran play-action and Kolb rolled to his right immediately. Winston Justice had the left defensive end blocked upfield, but when Kolb rolled out, the pressure was in his face. Kolb flung it to Weaver, who was behind the line of scrimmage and looked like he wisely might have dropped the ball on purpose.
Throw 7: The Eagles faced a 3rd-and-9, and it looked like Kolb might have changed the play at the line of scrimmage. Lined up in the shotgun, he hit Maclin on a wide receiver screen to his left. QBs sometimes struggle with this throw. It's important to get the receiver the ball quickly and in a place where he can immediately turn upfield. Kolb did that. Maclin fought to get to the first-down marker, but ended up fumbling and turning the ball over.
Throw 8: Not much to this one. A screen to Weaver that went for 8 yards on 2nd-and-12.
Throw 9: Another one where it looked like Kolb felt more pressure than was really there. On 3rd-and-4, he backpedaled frantically until he was about 14 yards behind the line of scrimmage. At that point, he threw off his back foot and hit Maclin, who was at the line of scrimmage. This was the play where Maclin got injured and was short of the first down.
Throw 10: Maybe his most impressive throw of the night. The protection was good on this one. Kolb lined up in the shotgun on 2nd-and-13 from the Eagles' 20. He couldn't find a receiver and scrambled to his right, before making a terrific throw to Jackson down the near sideline for 28 yards. Good job by Jackson to keep working after he was covered on his initial route.
Throw 11: Kolb had to throw the ball away here. He ran play-action but had Bengals defenders in his face immediately and had to sling it out of bounds, taking a hit as he released the ball.
Throw 12: This was the miss to Avant. The Eagles had a 2nd-and-10 from the Cincinnati 22. They went with one running back and four wide receivers out of the shotgun. Kolb overthrew Avant in the end zone, or the Eagles would have had six. On the replay, it looked like Riley Cooper was wide open, but that could have just been because the safety started moving towards Avant once the ball was in the air. Good protection, bad throw.
Throw 13: Probably his worst decision and worst throw of the night. Kolb had time, but couldn't find anyone. He ended up trying to force the ball into Jackson near the goal line. Jackson had three defenders around him, and the ball went right through the hands of one of the defensive backs. Could have easily been an INT.
Throw 14: With under two minutes left in the first half, the Eagles had a 1st-and-10 from the Bengals' 42-yard line. Kolb lined up under center, joined by two running backs, two wide receivers and a tight end. He ran play-action and made a good, patient throw to Jackson 21 yards downfield. Jackson ran out of bounds, stopping the clock.
Throw 15: Another good job on the very next play. This time from the shotgun, Kolb found Brent Celek over the middle for 14 yards. It was the only time he targeted Celek all night, setting up the Eagles with a 1st-and-goal from the Bengals' 7-yard line.
Throw 16: One more time when I thought Kolb probably moved out of the pocket before he needed to. With a 2nd-and-goal from the Cincinnati 7, he rolled to his right and looked for Jackson near the goal line. The throw was off-target, and Kolb threw into a crowded area for an incompletion.
Throw 17: Tough spot for the Eagles: 3rd-and-goal from the Bengals' 12 after a penalty. Kolb gave a shoulder fake before settling on a 5-yard completion to Avant. I know some ask why he wouldn't throw it in the end zone, but there was likely no one even close to being open. It's actually a good move to settle on the short gain and kick the field goal. The key here was the penalty that put them in such a bad position in the first place.

Gold tumbled from the highest in more than week as the U.S. economy expanded less than forecast, driving commodities lower and crimping demand for the precious metal as a hedge against inflation.
Gross domestic product rose at a 2.5% annual rate, Commerce Department figures showed today. The median estimate of 86 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 3% gain. The metal rebounded 11% through yesterday after touching $1,321.50 on April 16, the lowest in more than two years. The Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 raw materials slumped as much as 1.1%.
"Inflation is one thing you do not have to worry about if the world's largest economy is struggling and instead the concern should be deflation," Michael Gayed, the chief investment strategist at New York-based Pension Partners LLC, which advises on $190 million in assets, said in a telephone interview. "And when you have a rally like the one we saw in gold, there is bound to be some profit-taking."
Gold futures for June delivery declined 0.7% to $1,451.60 an ounce at 12:58 p.m. on the Comex in New York, retreating for the first time in three days. Prices earlier rose as much as 1.6%, mainly on on increased physical buying.
Bullion gained 4.8% this week through yesterday as demand for coins, bars and jewelry surged after futures dropped 13% in two sessions through April 15.
In China, gold buyers were hoarding the metal and demand is "strong" in Dubai, Bernard Sin, the head of currency and metal trading at bullion refiner MKS (Switzerland) SA in Geneva, said by e-mail today.
Investors cut assets in gold-backed exchange-traded products to 2,294.5 metric tons yesterday, the lowest since October 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Silver futures for July delivery fell 1.6% to $23.79 an ounce on the Comex.
Trading was 55% higher than the average in the past 100 days for this time of day for gold and more than triple for silver, according to Bloomberg data.

With their tuxedo-like plumage and charming good looks, penguins are often stars on the big screen. But behind the glitz and glamour is a tragic story: Penguin populations have decreased by nearly 80 percent in some areas, and most scientists agree that the primary culprit is rising temperatures due to climate change.

There are various methods by which title to a parcel of real property can be
Direct Search
In some areas of the country, title companies or lawyers retained by
the customer go directly to the county records when conducting a title
search. In others, title companies maintain copies of those records in
"title plants," which are located right in the company's offices.
In some parts of the country, predominantly in the northeast, the
counties' records are maintained in Grantor/Grantee books that index
properties by seller's and buyer's names and are laborious to search.
In some states, the county real estate records are indexed in a Tract
Index similar to a title company's title plant. A tract index indexes
properties by the property location, i.e., lot number, and if reliable,
title companies may use them instead of going to the expense of building
their own title plants.
Title Plant Examination
The other method of title searching is called the Title Plant
Examination. The title examiner makes the search from the company's
title plant records. The plant contains a duplicate of the "public
records", which has been reorganized and indexed in a more useful
fashion. This means that once the searcher locates the property, the
searcher has instant access to all instruments affecting that property.
This method of title search has been used in most metropolitan areas
since the advent of title insurance. It requires that the title insurer
or its agent own a title or abstract plant.
Title Examination
When the search is completed, copies of all pertinent documents, tax
searches, name searches, etc., are sent to a title officer. It is the
officer's responsibility to examine those items and arrive at a
conclusion as to who owns the property and what encumbrances or defects
exist. The officer may also set out certain requirements to clear up any
problems disclosed by the search and examination.
Title Underwriting
The title officer may also have to make certain underwriting decisions.
Suppose, for instance, that there are building restrictions limiting
buildings from being built closer than 30 feet from the front lot line,
but our building is actually located 25 feet from the front line. Can we
guarantee the lender that it will not suffer loss because of this
violation? At Old Republic Title, we take pride in trying to resolve
such problems - many of them are very complex and require skill and
experience to underwrite to our customer's satisfaction.
If a particularly difficult problem arises or it involves a large title
policy, your local title officer will often call the Regional Counsel or
our Chief Title Counsel in for advice and suggestions

Illness or injury of a pet is worrisome for owners. As much as we provide good care and try to protect our pets, accidents and illness do happen.
Illness or injury of a pet is worrisome for owners. As much as we provide good care and try to protect our pets, accidents and illness do happen.
Initially, you should determine the degree of seriousness. You wonder if this warrants an immediate rush to the nearest vet or if it is OK to wait to seek veterinary attention. At this point, I want to impress on you that if there is any doubt, contact your vet and be prepared to take the pet there immediately.
Thankfully, most injuries or medical problems are not emergencies and you can wait to consult your vet about appropriate action to take. Common sense is your best guide. In both humans and animals, if your pet is in distress, first aid advice is to evaluate the "ABC's:" Airway, breathing and circulation.
Serious circumstances, requiring immediate attention are blockage of the airway by a foreign body, respiratory distress with gasping for breath and a blue tongue, and bleeding that will not stop. Other significant symptoms are inability to urinate or move bowels, severe, unrelenting pain, continuous vomiting or diarrhea, loss of balance and collapse and seizures. If your pet has been hit by a car (even if they seem to be OK), have penetrating wounds, especially on the chest or abdomen or if they have ingested toxic substances such as rat poison, antifreeze, household chemicals etc. they should be taken for evaluation immediately.
For after-hours circumstances, some veterinarians only handle emergencies with their own clients, or they do not offer evening and weekend services and refer to an emergency clinic. Find out how your vet deals with emergencies and write down pertinent phone numbers, address and directions. There are several emergency clinics in the Kansas City area. These have veterinary staff available 24/7 to care for your pet. Locate their address and phone number in advance to be prepared.
In extreme situations, you may have to provide immediate first aid. For serious bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound. If it is arterial, you may have to apply pressure above the wound to block the artery flow. Attempt to remove any object that the pet is choking on by sweeping your finger through the back of their mouth and pulling it out. If this is unsuccessful, lift and suspend him with the head pointed down and administer a sharp blow with the palm of your hand between the shoulder blades.
If an object is completely obstructing the pet's breathing, you can do a modified Heimlich maneuver as follows: grasp the animal around the waist so that the rear is nearest to you, similar to a bear hug. Place a fist just behind/below the ribs, hold the pet against your body and compress the abdomen several times (usually 3-5 times) with quick pushes and then check the mouth to see if the foreign object has been removed. This maneuver can be repeated one to two times.
If you suspect poisoning, and are unable to contact a vet, try to identify the ingested material and call the SPCA poison emergency center 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 888-426-4435. A $60 consultation fee may be applied to your credit card. In the absence of professional advice, do not induce vomiting if your pet consumes an acid, alkali, solvent or heavy-duty cleaner; is comatose, swallows a petroleum product, ingests tranquilizers, has eaten sharp objects or if more than two hours have passed since the poison was swallowed. A simple way to induce vomiting is to give one-half to one teaspoonful of salt, placed at the back of the tongue…and wait five minutes.
The information above is to inform and reassure you about evaluating pet emergencies so that you can make informed decisions about action to take. You should always consult a veterinarian for professional advice.

9 was a very important number this past weekend.
9 was a very important number this past weekend. On Friday night the St. Louis Cardinals scored 9 runs in defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 9 to 1 in one of the better offensive showings of the season. This game featured two home runs from Carlos Beltran, one from each side of the plate, and back to back home runs to start the game. The Cardinals batters were not only getting hit but they were being hit as well as the Pirates starting pitcher decided if he couldn't get them out he might as well hit them in the head and he was gone after just four batters. Several other batters were hit on both sides but the plate umpire ruled all of those as accidental. The Pirates put up 9 runs of their own on Sunday as they totally silenced the Cardinals bats in one of those games that someone should have just pushed the reset button and started it over. Friday night's game also featured an adventurous outing by struggling Cardinals pitcher Mitchell Boggs and that seemed to set the tone for the bullpen over the weekend who suffered a major meltdown on Saturday and were unable to stop the bleeding yesterday as the game totally got away from them in the last two innings. For some reason the Cardinals and Pirates can't seem to play a normal uneventful game and just about every meeting features a bullpen meltdown, a starting pitcher meltdown, or some other form of torture for one or both team's fans. In one of those flukes of the schedule that seem to be so common these days the Cincinnati Reds are back in St. Louis for the second time in three weeks for a three game series with the Cardinals beginning tonight.
On the other side of the state the Kansas City Royals took two out of three from the Cleveland Indians who were having trouble scoring runs until last night's explosion against the Royals. Friday night's game was rained out and the Royals won Saturday's game and the first game of yesterday's double header before the Indians went on the war path in the nightcap. The Tampa Bay Rays come calling on the Royals for a three game series beginning tomorrow. The Royals are still in first place in the Al Central but Detroit is coming on fast.
The Kirksville High School baseball team suffered its first NCMC conference loss on Friday night out at North Park as they fell to the Booneville Pirates 6 to 1. KHS pitching struggled a little bit last Thursday and Friday and having the weekend off couldn't have come at a better time. The Tigers are in action tomorrow and Wednesday as the season is rapidly drawing to a close.
The KHS boys and girls track teams both had good showings at Hannibal over the weekend as they continue to get excellent individual and relay performances especially in the distance events.
The KHS boys tennis team also won on Friday as they defeated Centerville.
Kevin Harvick hung on to win the NASCAR race at Richmond on Saturday as he benifitted from a restart near the end of the race.
We'll be back on Wednesday with a closer look at area sports teams and I'm sure we'll have more to say about the Cardinals as well. I hope everyone can find the time to get out and enjoy this wonderful weather before the next round of cold and rain moves in later in the week. Thanks as always for supporting this and all the blogs on this site.
Have a terrific Monday!

Saturn Corp. was founded by General Motors (GM) in 1985 as a "different kind of car company." Operating more independently than other GM brands, Saturn first sold the SC and SL car models in 1990. Noted for its philosophy of "no haggle" pricing, Saturn was one of the highest-ranking brands in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index (CSI) and Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Studies during the 1990s. Near the end of 2010, GM discontinued Saturn, partly due to low sales. Saturn's last lineup featured models derived from GM's European Opel division.

Gold Condor Earrings
Getting someone ring size is often not the most subtle approach to a special gift or occasion. Simply download and print to scale our ring sizing guide pdf, which allows you to get a pretty good idea of what their size may be based on existing jewellery. But don't panic if you get it wrong we offer free re-sizing on all our products!
We have hand-selected a group of inspirational, contemporary jewellery designers. Many drawing from traditional making techniques, with a modern aesthetic. Others pushing the use of materials normally associated with jewellery making, whilst exploring shape, texture and scale.
After graduating from the Royal College of Art Lily Kamper founded her London based jewellery label creating pieces that reflect her love of unusual material combinations and designs that embody modern luxury.
Each piece of jewellery is hand-turned on a lathe from blocks of resin and Perspex. Lily's love of colour is shown throughout the collections with each piece of Perspex dyed by hand with each colour mixed individually. Her pieces range from small column pendants, to statement necklaces and sculptural earrings. Each bespoke piece is hand-made in Hatton Garden and is available to try on in our Leather Lane shop.
Karl is a traditionally trained diamond mounter who has been working in Hatton Garden for the past 20 years. Having trained as an apprentice for several years, followed by working at a top Mayfair Jewellers, he launched his own brand in 2005. Now based at The London Rocks Workshop in Hatton Garden, Karl works in the studio alongside other upcoming designers.
Handmade, classic techniques combined with the latest, setting and production technology allow clients to work through the design process with Karl. His signature style takes influence from geometric, Art-Deco forms that create striking and balanced pieces. Traditional sentiment leads his designs, whilst being heavily influenced by Brutalist architecture and Avant-Garde fashion. The amalgamation of fine metals paired with unusual cut gemstones create his trademark statement jewellery.
A native of Kuala Lumpur, Vicky Lew graduated from Central Saint Martins, London in 2014 with a First Class Honours in jewellery design. Vicky's design house is based in London, where she has lived for seven years and now considers home.
Vicky's design aesthetic is rooted in the classical Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi, that beauty can too be found in imperfection, impermanence and incompletion. A rose on the vine and a fallen rose on the ground are equally beautiful. Each piece is crafted with traditional Eastern sensibilities with Western design concepts, delivering strong narratives and intricate inter-plays between organic shapes and geometric forms. Her Plume collection utilises freshwater pearls set within structural handcrafted lines.
Experience with industry giants CARTIER and SWAROVSKI during her time at university have honed Vicky's skills, enabling her to grow and develop as a designer, all while affording her the opportunity to familiarize herself with all aspect of the jewellery industry.
Experimental in nature, Vicky explores unconventional materials in her collections. Past collections have included the use of aluminium, palladium, tin-plate and resin for the pieces, allowing her to express her versatility in a variety of media. This was duly recognised by her industry peers, leading her to be awarded a Silver Award for Fine Jewellery at the Goldsmiths' CRAFT & DESIGN COUNCIL AWARDS, as well as the award for "Best Design" by THEO FENNELL AWARDS.
We are excited to be featuring pieces from her collections 'Crush' & 'Under Earth' by Niza Huang, a 2008 Sheffield Hallam graduate. Her collections 'Crush' and 'Under Earth' reflect her inspirations from the constantly unraveling a stream of human feelings and passions, she believes that those are the instants that make our lives special.
Niza uses abstract claw like shapes throughout, referencing the ephemeral nature of our experience, and our futile desire to reach out and capture it. Niza Huang's signature texture remains constant across the collections, creating beautiful gifts for loved ones or yourself.
Colombian born London based jewellery designer Ana Thompson's, is showcasing her 'Sedna' pearl collection in store with selected pieces available online. This exciting collection draws on the macroscopic-microscopic worlds of nature, translating them into elegant and versatile pieces of fine jewellery.
Anna combines traditional craftsmanship with digital manufacturing, she weaves precious metals into delicate lattices creating intricate structures and encapsulating precious stones. Her work explores the intersection of design and science, blending her interest in new technologies and production processes, with her fascination for revealing the hidden beauty and wonders discovered in the unseen worlds of nature.
Cara Tonkin has been creating unique, timeless pieces since 2010, when she started her eponymous brand. Cara trained at Central St Martins and having achieving a First Class Honours Degree in Jewellery Design, was then nominated for New Designer of the Year in 2015 and Jewellery Designer of the Year in 2016 at the UK Jewellery Awards.
Living and working in her hometown of Brighton, Cara has a strong attachment to the city's artistic culture and this can be seen in her fluid and sculptural collections, influenced by the art deco movement. The Vesper collection is currently available in store and online, with the Siren collection available only online.

Many factors can influence the condition of jewellery, therefore you should make sure that it is cleaned and stored properly.
Please follow these steps to ensure your beautiful jewellery lasts a lifetime.
If your jewellery gets knocked or scratched please arrange to meet with one of our craftsman to check if a repair is required.
We recommend removing jewellery when you shower or bathe and particularly when on the beach, in the sea and in chlorinated water.
Avoid spraying perfume or applying creams directly onto your jewellery.
Keep away from extreme temperatures, humidity and sunlight, and avoid wearing your jewellery when using bleach.
When storing your jewellery, each piece should be individually placed in a pouch or within a soft lined box to stop them being scratched or tangled. Ideally, store your jewellery in a dark, cool and dry place.
Metal: Silver jewellery will naturally tarnish over time. Using a soft, lint free cloth is an effective way to keep silver and other metals looking shiny. Ideally, store silver pieces in an airtight bag to help reduce tarnishing.
Gemstones: Since many gemstones are quite delicate, hot water, harsh chemicals and cleaners should be avoided at all times. We advise cleaning your precious stones with a clean, soft, damp cloth after wearing. Very porous stones such as turquoise and emeralds should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth only.
Art-Deco inspired geometric drop earrings. Striking and bold these earrings are part of the Karl Karter Deco collection. Handmade in the London Rocks Workshop, these drops can be made to order in different metals and can even be customised with stones or an engraving.

Sanborn Regional High School restroom arson tab is $400,000By Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
February 11. 2014 10:49PM
KINGSTON — The cleanup and repair bill for a fire allegedly started by a student inside a restroom at Sanborn Regional High School is expected to total nearly $400,000, a school official said.
"The damage that was caused was significant and carries a big price tag and the implications are far-reaching," Superintendent Brian Blake said Tuesday.
Primex, the school district's insurer, is expected to cover most of the bill. Blake said the district will have to pay a deductible, but he's not sure how much that will be.
It's also too early to know how last Thursday's fire will affect the school district's insurance rates.
"On a school building like this, I don't foresee the rates skyrocketing," Blake said.
A 15-year-old male student is facing arson charges after police said he intentionally set the fire in a boys' restroom on the second floor of the high school, which was built in 2006.
Blake said the student has been "removed" from school and that further disciplinary action is pending.
An insurance adjuster surveyed the damage Thursday. Professional cleaning crews and other contractors were hired to immediately begin their work.
The fire damage was confined to the restroom, but officials said there was extensive smoke damage in the building.
Air scrubbers and deodorizer machines were brought in; the school's HVAC system had to be cleaned because of the smoke. Work also included cleaning walls, furniture and other surfaces. Hundreds of ceiling tiles also had to be replaced.
The damaged restroom will remain closed for at least the next two weeks.
Given the scope of the work and the extent of the damage, Blake said he wasn't surprised by the $400,000 estimate.
"When looking at the manpower that was used from Thursday night right through Sunday night to get it done, there's a significant cost involved," Blake said.
Members of the Sanborn Regional School Board are aware of the damage and the cleanup, but likely won't discuss it publicly until their next meeting on Feb. 19.
"It's an awful lot of money. You build them a $30 million high school and then you've got hundreds of thousands in damage," Kingston Selectman Mark Heitz said.

Huskers Soar Past Jays
Lincoln, Neb. - The 17th-ranked Nebraska women's tennis team rolled past in-state rival Creighton on Tuesday afternoon, earning a 6-1 victory at the Nebraska Tennis Center. The Huskers (2-0, 0-0 Big Ten) used dominant play on the doubles court to kick-start their efforts before cruising past the Blue Jays (0-1, 0-0 MVC). The Jays' lone win of the day came on the No. 5 court, where Nebraska's competitor won the first set before retiring due to injury.
The Huskers and the Jays started the afternoon on the doubles courts, where Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova struck first for NU. The duo blazed past Creighton's Anna Kirshenbaum and Sam Anderson on the No.1 doubles court, notching an 8-1 victory. The No. 2 pairing of Janine Weinreich and Maike Zeppernick locked up the doubles point for Nebraska, earning an 8-3 victory over the Jays' Jennie Hartjes and Karlin Naslund. Maggy Lehmicke and Izabella Zgierska sealed the doubles sweep for the Big Red with 7-4 win at the No. 3 spot over Amanda Noonan and Analese Snyder.
Nebraska took its 1-0 lead to the singles courts, where it picked up three wins in quick succession to clinch the match victory. Zeppernick earned the first victory in No. 6 singles, defeating Creighton's Liz Vermilion by a score of 6-0, 6-0. Weinreich grabbed the next win at the No. 3 position, a 6-1, 6-1 defeat of Kirshenbaum. Lehmicke pushed NU's lead to 4-0, topping the Jays' Kirshenbaum at the No. 4 spot, 6-1, 6-0.
Weatherholt added a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Hartjes on the No. 1 singles court. Veresova wrapped up NU's dominant performance with her 6-0, 6-1 win in No. 2 singles, defeating Creighton's Snyder. Zgierska ground out a 7-5 win in the first set on the No. 5 courts before retiring from the match, giving Creighton's Noonan the victory.
Nebraska will be back in action this weekend as they play host to the ITA Kickoff Weekend. NU will face Tennessee on Saturday at 2 p.m., with the winner facing the victor in the Notre Dame/Georgia match on Sunday. All matches will be held at the Nebraska Tennis Center.

The summer solstice may have just passed, but the Atomic City Aquatics Club unleashed a cosmic monsoon at the KCEOC Summer Splash in Barbourville, Ky.
The summer solstice may have just passed, but the Atomic City Aquatics Club unleashed a cosmic monsoon at the KCEOC Summer Splash in Barbourville, Ky.
The ACAC swimmers owned the first and second place trophies for highest individual points in most events. In the 8 and under girls, Abigail King took first and Julia Mason second. For the boys, Tanner Alexander took first. In the 9-10 girls, Ainsley Patrick came home with a second for the girls and Jake Mason took first for the boys. At 11-12, Chase Lahr was second for the girls and Vidar Hondorf and Alton Alexander swept the boys. Tiffany Taylor walked away with first place for the 13-14 girls, and Sean O'Connor and Paul Schechter packed a one-two punch for the boys. At 15 and over, Chandler Ott came in first and Margaret Stansberry second for the girls, and Kent Eldreth and Loki Hondorf rounded out this fantastic four with a sweep in their age group.
"We had 158 out of 299 swims that went for best times. There were many high point and high point runner-up swimmers. As we enter the championship season, we are happy to say that the athletes seem to be well on track to a solid long course season finish," said Coach Mike Bowman.
His point was underscored by the 18 swimmers who swam Southeastern qualifying times: Kendal Goodman, Daniel Eshleman, Seth Hughes, Loki Hondorf, Sean O'Connor, Tanner Alexander, Jake Mason, Sydney Goodman, Chandler Ott, Grant Groscost, Ben Thomas, Kent Eldreth, Jack O'Connor, Vidar Hondorf, Margaret Stansberry, Jonny Goss, Tiffany Taylor and Ryan Mihealsick.
Additionally, Craig Dukes, Cory Hale, Chase Lahr, Connor Paxton and Bethany Quilty all posted substantially improved best times in multiple races.
"When one considers that we are averaging about 38 kids in attendance at each meet, and we have 35 total who have qualified for upper level championship meets, it's clear that our coaching staff is teaching our kids well, and our kids are executing," stated Coach Bowman. "Here's to our coaches and our athletes. Congratulations on another great meet."

Businesses that cater to families hope they don't become victims of statewide crackdown
Larry Adami turns the key at 4:30 p.m. to open his arcade to a crowd of families already gathered in the parking lot.
As soon as they enter, the children and their equally eager parents are greeted by a colorful display and flashing lights, rows of arcade machines with names like the "Lucky Zone" and the sound of tokens rolling through the metal guts of game after game.
There is a life-size replica of the famous "Price is Right" wheel. An illuminated 15-foot Connect Four wall stands right beside it, where players compete in the classic board game for a chance to win prizes. Arcades modeled after the popular TV shows "Deal or No Deal" and "Wheel of Fortune" also anchor the game room, as well as digital poker machines.
Forget Las Vegas: The thrill of gamers winning that sought-after grand prize can be found right on Clark Road in Sarasota.
But after more than three decades, Adami fears he will soon be forced to close his business, Livingston's Amusement Center, as part of a statewide crackdown on Internet cafes that many lawmakers believe too closely mimic illegal gambling.
The ban on electronic pay-out games that operate like slot machines now appears poised to sweep through the legislative session unhindered.
With the Senate version up for debate today, Livingston's is one of hundreds of family arcades in Florida worried about their future — with thousands of jobs at risk.
"I'm not sure how any of these Internet cafes were opened in the first place, but we're not like them," Adami said from his office in the 50,000-square-foot local attraction. "Our business models are much different. We cater to families and young couples; they go after seniors. Just because one bad apple cheated the system, why should we all have to pay?"
A measure that clarifies the definition of slot machines that are commonly used in Internet cafes and amusement centers swiftly cleared the Florida House last week.
The Senate companion, also gaining strong support, is bound for a vote by Wednesday at the latest.
The proposals have been discussed by state lawmakers ever since small game centers made their way to corner storefronts across the Sunshine State about four years ago, luring mostly seniors with free food, cash prices and a place to spend the afternoon.
But the bills were fast-tracked this year following a statewide investigation into gaming activities by a military veteran's charity that ultimately led to 57 arrests and the resignation of Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll.
Fighting back
Now the opposition is striking back. Dubbing their businesses "amusement arcades" and "senior arcades," operators of machines that hand out gift cards instead of the cash prizes have flooded the Capitol in recent days.
The Florida Arcade Association drove a flatbed truck around Tallahassee on Tuesday loaded with white coffins bearing the slogan "Don't Kill Amusement Arcades." Seniors wearing shirts with the same slogan were bused to the Capitol to testify in a Senate committee.
Arcade Association President Gail Fontaine blasted lawmakers for targeting businesses she said offer seniors a harmless diversion. The committee approved the legislation, and it could pass the full Senate as early as today.
At a news conference Wednesday, Fontaine detailed a plan with lawmakers to introduce an amendment on the Senate floor that would carve out an exception for arcades that offer gift cards.
"The games have been deemed legal," said Fontaine, who was arrested and faced 11 years in prison but won her court case. "At Chuck E. Cheese's, you can get iTunes cards. What is the difference?"
But even establishments like Chuck E. Cheese's, Dave & Busters and Livingston's are not so certain the sweeping regulation will leave their games unscathed.
The amusement centers now operate under a 1984 law — lobbied for in part by Disney World — that allows arcades to offer redemption games with an element of skill to award tickets, which can then be redeemed for prizes.
Although most arcades have since replaced paper tickets with a reusable card similar to ones employed at Internet cafes, the basic principles of the law remain. Each game cannot pay out a value of more than 75 cents at a time, and prizes must be material items — teddy bears, plasma televisions or even motorcycles, for instance — but not cash.
Amusement centers pay an annual tax of $35 for every game and traditional sales tax on all money spent to buy tokens. Most Internet cafes can skate on those state revenue generators because their transactions are waged online.
"Everyone knows this bill is trying to eliminate these casinos on the corner," said John Russo, who owns Saturn 5 Five Family Entertainment Center at Bradenton's DeSoto Square Mall.
But legislators cast such a wide net, he said, that " there's nothing that prevents an aggressive law enforcement officer from walking into my place or Chuck E. Cheese's and causing trouble."
Changing times
Bill sponsor Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, has insisted his bill would not harm legitimate family arcade games.
But Adami, who owns Livingston's in Sarasota, still has his concerns.
In 2005, he moved his arcade and billiards bar from its home of 15 years, on South Tamiami Trail, to a building on Clark that was about three times the size.
Adami quickly invested $7 million in the new center, adding an indoor go-cart track, a rock climbing wall and an alien-spaceship-themed PhaserZone course — a hybrid of laser tag and paintball.
Aside from the 136 game stations, Livingston's has a full-service liquor bar, 26 pool tables and a pizzeria.
The business has already has been hit by the Great Recession and the latest home gaming consoles, like Xbox and PlayStation, that have more teenagers staying at home to play video games on high-definition TVs.
Revenue at Livingston's has slid by one-third from its 2007 peak to about $2 million last year. About 45 cents from every dollar Adami collects stems from the arcade, and 80 percent of that spending originates from just a handful of games — the big prize-winners that the state is trying to shut down.
"You can buy a lot better game for your TV at home now than you can out here," Adami said. "Nobody's coming to play those types of games. They're coming to win prizes, and they might buy a pizza or ride a go-cart while they're here."
Similar impacts forced Pirate's Cove in Bradenton to close in 2007.
If Livingston's were to shut down, Southwest Florida would lose one of its only remaining go-cart tracks and amusement centers.
The company's 28 employees would also be out of work.
An Internet cafe now sits in the unit next door to Livingston's, and although Adami owns the building, he insists the cafe is just a tenant.
"It's an institution," said Barry Seidel, president and founder of American Property Group of Sarasota Inc. "Livingston's has been around forever, everyone knows them and everyone goes there."

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — While Washington's wolf population increased by at least one last year, officials of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife say the number of cattle that were killed decreased.
Department carnivore section manager Donny Martorello told the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission on Saturday the estimated number of wolves and wolf packs has increased. Last year, the department estimated 51 to 101 wolves were in the state. This year, the minimum increased to 52, based on the number of wolves seen by department staff.
"I do believe the number is higher, but we don't know exactly by how much," Martorello said. "We had good production this last year in a number of packs."
The department estimates there were 13 wolf packs in 2013, up from nine in 2012. Wolves from the Smackout Pack in northeastern Stevens County split into four separate packs, including the Ruby Creek, the Dirty Shirt and the Carpenter-Ridge packs.
Packs are defined as two or more wolves traveling together.
The department investigated 20 livestock depredations in 2013, said conflict program manager Stephanie Simek. Of those, four were caused by wolves, one by an undetermined predator and five were undetermined causes.
The confirmed wolf attacks in 2013 left one calf dead and three dogs injured, according to the department. In 2012, wolves killed seven calves and one sheep, and six calves and two sheep were injured, according to the department. Most of those attacks were attributed to the Wedge Pack. The department killed seven wolves in that pack to stop the attacks. Two remaining members are traveling as a pack in the same area, according to the department.
Of the 10 non-wolf deaths, five were caused by wild carnivores such as cougars and coyotes and five were attributed to other causes, including domestic dogs, falling, drowning and ravens or eagles.
Simek said one calf death was caused by ravens and one by eagles and ravens. Bird attacks are not common in Washington but are more frequent in other states, Simek said.
The department supports a proposal to remove the wolf from the endangered species list under the federal Endangered Species Act, Martorello said. Wolves are considered endangered in the western two-thirds of the state but have been delisted in the eastern one-third of the state.
However, wolves will continue to be protected under the state Endangered Species law until there are 15 successful breeding pairs for three consecutive years, evenly distributed throughout three recovery regions in the state, or 18 successful breeding pairs evenly distributed for one year.
A successful breeding pair is a male and female pair that raises two pups that survive to the end of the year. There are presently five successful breeding pairs residing in two recovery regions.
In other wolf-related topics:
• An investigation into the Feb. 9 shooting death of a female wolf in northern Stevens County is continuing, Martorello said. It was once part of the Smackout Pack.
• Simek said the department plans to research wolf and livestock interaction with Washington State University's Large Carnivore Conservation Laboratory, continue working with a wolf advisory group and sharing outreach information with conservation districts and WSU Extension.
• The department is developing a pilot carcass removal program with Conservation Northwest and Washington conservation districts. The project will consider ways to help ranchers remove bones and compost carcasses, Simek said.
She believes ranchers are recognizing that they will need to make some adjustments to minimize conflict. Most livestock producers are already performing the necessary tasks, Simek said.
"The last thing we want is someone's livelihood to be impacted," she said. "There's no silver bullet, we're still going to have conflict. The idea is to hopefully minimize it so it's not so devastating to everyone. People realize this is the lifestyle now, the landscape now."
An overview of the wolf report is available online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/
A full report will be available by April 4.

Due to the high
number of scams going on, we developed a
scam filter to filter all inquiries made
to breeders who advertise at TerrificPets.com.
We have posted a list of emails and scam
type information caught by our new system.
these emails below are SCAMMERS!
Some of the emails may not look like scams,
but they all lead to the same thing. The
scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money
order) for more then the pet is worth, then
they will ask you to send them back the
difference in money. A couple weeks later
you find out the check was fake and the
bank will take it out of your account. This
scam can be set up several ways.
key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the
pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas
(Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth,
then asks for the difference in money back.

Today we're excited to to share this simple and affordable method for transforming any piece of glass into a beautiful decor update with an antiqued mercury glass style finish — it's amazing.
I've been eyeing lots of different decor accessories in the style of antique mercury glass as of late — this trend seems to be everywhere and I have to admit I've gotten a little sucked into the idea of a mirrored glass bedside lamp or even a bedside table. Given the fact I'm the only one in this household with this opinion, I've decided to get my feet wet slowly and figured out how to achieve the antiqued mercury glass look in a completely DIY method with smaller glass accessories I already had lying around the house.
Here's what I was working with —a glass mason jar, milk bottle, ridged flower vase and a smaller round votive type candle holder. They were all things I either had in hiding down in the cellar or headed for the recycle bin, so I figured I had little to nothing to lose in the event things went horribly wrong, haha.
What I really liked about experimenting with all these different shapes and textures was the ability to test the finish on a smaller scale so I'd be able to imagine different possibilities as I come across glass pieces in the future on a larger scale (like that clear glass lamp just waiting for me to find it).
Back in the day, real mercury glass was used a decor accents and was an affordable option to it's silver decor counterparts — today we'll be making the affordable version of this original hack (kinda funny, right?).
- Various glass containers (must be glass, I used all clear versions).
- Spray bottle
- Water
- White vinegar
- Krylon looking glass spray
- Paper towels
- Newspaper or other protective covering
Cover area outside (or in an extremely well ventilated area) where you plan to spray with newsprint or other protective covering — we used cut up grocery bags that we had on hand for projects like these.
Thoroughly clean and dry all glass pieces you'll be working with — you want to make sure the glass is clean in order for the spray to fully do it's thing. Fill a spray bottle with 1 part water to 1 part white vinegar and shake to combine. Set nozzle of spray bottle to it's finest mist setting. Put on any protective gloves or masks you wish to use and let's get started!
This is where I armed myself with my water/vinegar spray bottle in one hand and my looking glass spray in the other. First gently spray a fine mist of vinegar/water on the outside* of your glass container; you are looking for small droplets of water that bead up and do not run.
Follow up the water/vinegar spray almost immediately with a gentle and even layer of the metallic spray.
*Note about spray: if you are like me, you read all the directions and warnings on the looking glass spray before using, so you know it requires lots of shaking before and between use and recommends using on the inside of the glass — this is where you need to trust me — I (gasp) used it on the outside of the glass. I did this because I wanted to actually be able to put things like flowers and candles inside the containers and the end result was good for me, so I'm just putting it out there.
Allow to dry for just a minute and apply another fine mist of water/vinegar solution — then let them sit. Here's what our glass containers looked like as they began to dry with both sprays applied — notice the fine beading from the water/vinegar solution creating variations in the mirror spray:
Allow to dry for about 2 minutes, then gently blot the beads of water/vinegar with your paper towel — they should lift off areas of the mirror spray in a varied pattern. Don't rub very hard as the metallic finish will streak, though you can apply gentle pressure in various places to achieve a more realistic and varied mercury glass look. Don't worry that the glass is still see-through at this point, since you'll be doing several thin layers to build up the look over time.
Just repeat the same process over and over, and rotating between resting your glass container on its base versus its top so you get full coverage. All in all I probably went with between 3-4 coats in total.
You want to go with several thin and even layers of the spray to avoid runniness and splotching — trust me, the end result is worth the patience. Keep building up your layers until you are happy with the overall look and feel of your containers — then allow to dry for at least 3 hours until bringing inside or off the protective covering; you want them to set and seal.
After your container is completely dry, now you are ready to either tweak or style. If you think an area needs a little more or less coverage you can simply spot treat with more spray or spray with more water/vinegar and continue to blot away the treatment — this is where you own creativity and taste come into play.
Once complete, the creative uses are endless. I played around with different flower arrangements around the house since I had some beautiful peonies on hand from Tim :)
I just love how the little distressed and antiqued details came out — they really do show as something that's been lightly worn away over time (something I was skeptical about going into this project).
You might also notice exactly how well the promise of "looking glass" or the mirror effect came into play as with each photo I tried really hard to avoid getting my own reflection — without luck, haha.
I've been really excited to try out this tutorial becuase I'm thinking a mix of several of these antiqued containers with other little vessels here and there might make really beautiful, not to mention affordable diy touches for our wedding decor next year — flowers and votives anyone? Tim and I are both really happy with the outcome of these test pieces, so we'll definitely be looking for more glass odds and ends over the next several months that could fit well together for the wedding reception.
Like I said in the beginning of the post, the possibilities for this antique mercury glass finish are endless so long as you start out with a clean piece of glass — I'm still dreaming up visions of lamps, groupings of mirrors and other accessories inspired by the images below:
Tim has been more on the fence with the whole antiqued mirror glass lamp idea, so this could be a great way to test it out on something bigger without breaking the bank.
Other ideas we thought of that might work well with this spray include:
- Candy Jars
- Furniture knobs
- Pillar candle holders
- Table or pendant lamps
- Glass holiday ornaments
- Colored glass votives or bottles
- Glass desk caddy or pen holder
- A serving tray or tray that holds candles
- An antique window with the panes sprayed as a mirror

Insurance agent says Manchester dog park insurance lapsed last fall
By TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
MANCHESTER — The insurance agent that oversaw the account of the Manchester Dog Park Association (MDPA) has stated under oath that its coverage had lapsed for a month last fall.
Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur had deposed the agent as part of his lawsuit against former alderman Phil Greazzo, whom he alleges defamed him by repeatedly calling him a liar, among other things.
Greazzo was one of the founders of the dog park and remains on the association's board. Having liability insurance is a key component of the agreement the MDPA signed with the city in 2010 that allowed it to use city land on the West Side as the site of an off-leash park.
Levasseur first publicly made the allegation that there was a lapse in coverage at an aldermen's meeting in late October, a couple weeks before the election that saw Greazzo lose his Ward 10 seat in a hard-fought race.
Greazzo in turn accused Levasseur of abusing his office to get the account manager at Aspen Insurance, the MDPA's agent, to divulge confidential information. He also refuted the suggestion that the insurance had lapsed, and produced documents that he said showed the MDPA had maintained coverage since its founding.
The Aspen agent provided her deposition last week. "The policy that had been in effect for the period of June 14, 2013 - June 14,2014 was cancelled on September 20, 2013," the agent states, according to the document. "A new policy was issued on October 25, 2013 and that policy is now in force."
The agent states that she told Levasseur about the lapse when he called on Oct. 29, 2013, and that he had told her that "he was asking for this information to help and protect Mr. Greazzo in this matter."
Levasseur and Greazzo on Monday offered differing interpretations of the testimony of the agent.
"They were lying from the beginning," Levasseur said. "They knew they were lying about it. It was just a malicious attack on me, and then trying to couple it up with the cop issue. I think his ulterior motive was to get me to quit and run in the special election."
Greazzo said he was limited in what he could say because of the lawsuit that had been filed against him, but he noted that the deposition shows that Levasseur had in fact misrepresented his intentions to obtain the information. He further said he believed the agent was mistaken in concluding there was a lapse.
"I think she may have believed that to be the case, but I have paperwork to show otherwise," he said.
Greazzo said he had to consult with his attorney before releasing any materials.Following the original allegations of a lapse in late October, Greazzo would make several motions to refer Levasseur to the Conduct Board, initially for his attempts to obtain insurance information about the dog park and later for other alleged abuses, including making unfounded allegations against the Manchester Police Department.
The aldermen declined to send Levasseur to the Conduct Board, but the Accounts Committee did focus its attention on whether there was a lapse in insurance.
Greazzo told the committee that the MDPA had an "unbroken chain" of insurance coverage. He further noted the MDPA had kept its insurance even though the Legislature had passed a law that "eliminated the liability of any city, town or municipality as pertaining to dog bites."
The committee directed the city solicitor's office to review the matter, but an attorney with the office said he couldn't determine whether there had been a lapse because Aspen did not cooperate with the probe.
Levasseur sued Greazzo for defamation last month, accusing him of "ongoing and never-ending defamatory statements" against him, including calling him a "pathological liar" in the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Levasseur has since revised his complaint to take into account the deposition from the insurance agent. "The evidence that the insurance has lapsed will prove the plaintiff did not lie and in fact it was the defendant who has lied publicly about the issue for his own personal gain and to the detriment of the plaintiff," the revised suit states.

White Twin Bed With Drawers
White Twin Bed With Drawers. As the term 'twin' which means there is more than one and the same, then there is more than one bed in one room and have a similar form. This type of bed can be sized single beds or can be a super size single beds. In contrast to the double bed, because the bed has twin beds separated so that comfort when sleep would not be disturbed by other people who shared a bedroom.
Besides white twin bed with drawers, we also participated choose other ideas about the twin beds that we deliberately presented to you. If you have 2 boys or girls, or used as a guest bedroom was not a problem for the future. Keep in mind, there is also a twin bed with a variety of sizes, there is only used for one person, even some that are large but still named twin beds. And it's not a big deal if you already have the right idea for the design of your room.

According to the libertarian social scientist Charles Murray, America is "coming apart at the seams." Class strain has cleaved society into two groups, he argues in his new book Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010: an upper class, defined by educational attainment, and a new lower class, characterized by the lack of it. Murray also posits that the new "lower class" is less industrious, less likely to marry and raise children in a two-parent household, and more politically and socially disengaged
By focusing solely on whites, Murray says, he is trying to correct the assumption that these are markers of the American racial divide. The class divisions transcend race.
By Murray's calculations, the upper class is 20 percent of the white population. The working class is 30 percent. Over the past 50 years the two groups have branched away from each other culturally and geographically. The "educated class," Murray tells NPR's Robert Siegel, has developed distinctive tastes and preferences in a way that is new in America, evinced in everything from the alcohol they drink and the cars they buy to how they raise their children and take care of themselves physically.
Added to that, spatial segregation has resulted in "ZIP codes that have levels of affluence and education that are so much higher than the rest of the population that they constitute a different kind of world," he says.
The economic and social balkanization is potentially very pernicious.
"The people who run the country have enormous influence over the culture, politics, and the economics of the country. And increasingly, they haven't a clue about how most of America lives. They have never experienced it. They don't watch the same movies, they don't watch the same television shows — they don't watch television at all, in many cases — and when that happens, you get some policies that are pretty far out of whack."
Murray's findings proved counterintuitive, at least to the political narrative that characterizes the affluent classes as liberal and secular. It turns out that they are actually the group most likely to get and stay married. They go to church and synagogue more often and feel more strongly affiliated with their religion than the white working class. They are the keepers of "traditional" American values.
Nor are they overwhelmingly liberal. The upper middle class in Murray's findings only "tilt" leftward, no more than that.
There used to be many more points of connection between the upper and lower classes, Murray maintains. Consider the lodges, so important in the late 19th and early 20th century. "The Elks and the Moose took people in from all social classes, and people were proud of that," he says.
"And also you have the 1800s, and Alexis de Tocqueville saying that the funny thing about America is that the opulent classes take great care in talking to the members of the lower classes every day and keep in close touch with them."
Even in 1923, a time of great social and religious division, there was still more class intermingling, for the simple reason that most successful people had working- or middle-class roots.
"When you get to Eisenhower's Cabinet in 1952, it was called nine millionaires and a plumber in the popular press," he says. "But those nine millionaires were the sons of farmers and merchants."
Murray calls for more interaction between the classes; specifically, he'd like upper-middle-class Americans to "drop their nonjudgmentalism and start preaching what they're practicing."
They "are getting married and staying married. They work like crazy. They do better going to church. [They should] just say that, 'These are not choices we've made for ourselves. ... These are rich, rewarding ways of living.' "
It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
The social scientist Charles Murray writes this in his new book: Our nation is coming apart at the seams. Not ethnic seams, but the seams of class. Murray's book is, in fact, called "Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010."
Over the past half century, he argues, white Americans have come to include a new upper class defined more than ever before by education and a new lower class characterized by the lack of it. And the new lower class is also less industrious, less likely to marry and raise children in a two-family household and less connected to the rest of society.
By focusing on whites, Murray tries to correct the assumption that these are markers of the American racial divide. Charles Murray is a libertarian and his previous books include "Losing Ground" and "The Bell Curve," a rather controversial book about IQ as a determinant of many socioeconomic outcomes, and he joins us today. Welcome to the program.
CHARLES MURRAY: Good afternoon.
SIEGEL: First, since we Americans love to consider ourselves middle class, whether we're factory workers or neurosurgeons, how big do you figure the new upper class is and how big is the new lower class?
MURRAY: Well, if you talk about the upper middle class, which is a subset of the new upper class, you're talking about 20 percent of the white adult population. And the white working class these days represents about 30 percent of the white adult population.
SIEGEL: And they are separated, both geographically and also culturally?
MURRAY: Both of those. There has developed over the last 50 years distinctive tastes and preferences among people who share high levels of education and also are affluent. This involves everything from the way they raise their children to the foods they eat, the way they take care of their bodies, the cars they drive, you name it.
In addition to that, there has been an increasing spatial separation so that you have zip codes that have levels of affluence and education that are so much higher than the rest of the population that they constitute a different kind of world. And these, in turn, form clusters.
SIEGEL: One surprise that emerges from your data is that the new upper class, people who might often be ridiculed as latte liberals, contemptuous of traditional values are, in fact, the people who are getting and staying married more, the people who continue to go to church or synagogue more. They work more hours. They are exemplifiers of traditional American values.
MURRAY: It's strange because we think of the upper middle class, for example, as being secular, that they've fallen away from religion. Well, it turns out that the upper middle class goes to church more often and feels a much stronger affiliation with their religion than the white working class.
SIEGEL: You feel this is a dangerous situation that the white upper middle class - the educated middle class - is so separate from the bottom percent?
MURRAY: I think it's potentially very dangerous because, let's face it, the people who run the country have enormous influence over the culture, the politics and the economics of the country. And, increasingly, they haven't a clue about how most of America lives. They have never experienced it. They don't watch the same movies. They don't watch the same television shows. And when that happens, you get some policies that are pretty far out of whack.
SIEGEL: I guess the question that I had in reading "Coming Apart" is truly how different this is, how different today is from the past. And it seems to me that, by contrasting today, which I think you describe pretty well, with 1960 or - in the preface, actually, 1963. It seems to me you've chosen not the way we used to be, but the way the country was at a high point of leveling, unifying experiences.
My father and all the other fathers had been in the Second World War. They'd experienced the Depression at one age or another. They'd come through the G.I. Bill. Nobody seemed to object to hugely high tax rate and it was a time which I would think was remarkably unified and, to my reading, provides perhaps a false baseline for how much worse things are today as previously in our history.
MURRAY: You can actually make an argument that even earlier in the century, there was even greater mixture of the different classes. And a lot of that was done by lodges. You know, the Elks and the Moose and you name it. There were lots and lots of these which took people in from all social classes and people were proud of that.
Also, you have the 1800s and Alexis de Tocqueville saying, you know, the funny thing about America is that the more opulent members of the society take great care to talk to the members of the lower classes every day and keep in close touch with them.
SIEGEL: I was thinking of - of, say, 1923. If that had been a baseline for where we are today, as opposed to 1963, huge immigrant-nativist differences, communities that were utterly apart, linguistically apart from one another. Catholics and Protestants divided on a basic thing like Prohibition. Urban tenement living as opposed to what was still a very large population of small farmers in the country. I'd have thought we'd say, well, back then, we were far more divided.
MURRAY: There's a way in which that was different in an important respect, which is almost all the people who were successful in 1923 had started out in the working class family or a middle class family. Very few of them were second or third generation affluent.
And so, when you got, for example, Eisenhower's Cabinet in 1952, it was called nine millionaires and a plumber in the popular press. And they were nine millionaires and a plumber, but all of those nine millionaires, I think with one exception, had grown up, you know, as farmers' sons or small merchants' sons and so forth.
SIEGEL: But, you know, I took note of what you wrote about Eisenhower's Cabinet. You said all but two had not been born into affluent families. So today, not including the small business administrator who was given a new chair last week, there are 15 Cabinet secretaries. By another measure, there are four women, two Asians, one black, two Latinos. One could say this is a group, by today's measure, who are immeasurably more diverse than Eisenhower's Cabinet secretaries were.
MURRAY: Oh, it's definitely more...
SIEGEL: Gender and ethnic?
MURRAY: ...gender and ethnically diverse, but not socioeconomically.
SIEGEL: What should the attitude, as you see it, of the new upper class be toward the new lower class? I understand you better? Should it be, I have some lessons to teach you? What's the stance between one and the other?
MURRAY: The new upper class should drop its non-judgmentalism. I want the new upper class to start preaching what it practices. They are getting married and staying married in large numbers. They work like crazy, long hours. They even do better going to church than lots of the rest of America. Why not just say, these are not just choices we have made for ourselves. These are rich, rewarding ways of living.
SIEGEL: I just want to ask you before you go about the decision to write about white America. It would be akin, one could say, to saying, I'm going to write about Britain, but I'm not going to talk about the class system at all. Was this entirely a matter of trying to pre-but people who would say, well, he's talking about blacks? Or were you, in fact, saying, after "The Bell Curve," maybe I'd better not write about blacks. People will receive what I write so unfavorably, I'll just talk about white people.
MURRAY: I wanted to limit it to whites to concentrate the minds of my readers. When we talk about a lot of the social problems that are in the book, the reflexive response is, oh, well, you know, those problems are really a lot worse in the black community or in the Latino community than in the white community.
And, this way, I can say throughout the book, just put that all out of your minds. These are problems in the white community. However, in the penultimate chapter of the book, I say, suppose we put everybody in the mix. What do these trend lines look like?
SIEGEL: You say it's the same thing?
MURRAY: Guess what, folks? It looks just the same.
SIEGEL: Well, Charles Murray, thank you very much for talking with us.
MURRAY: It's been my pleasure.
SIEGEL: Charles Murray is the author of "Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010."
