Good Film, Extremely Bad Wolf
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Director Martin Scorsese has spent a sizable chunk of his career exploring the world of gangsters, from Mean Streets to Goodfellas to Casino to Gangs of New York to The Departed. And he has found the perfect man to extend his gangster chronicle in Jordan Belfort, the charismatic penny-stock swindler behind Stratton Oakmont and the central figure in Scorsese's new film, The Wolf of Wall Street. After a sizzling seven-year run, Stratton Oakmont imploded in the 1990s, costing investors more than $300 million.
Relentlessly profane and raucously funny, the characters in The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Belfort, consume drugs in quantities that would stun a charging rhino. And each scene seems to come with its own set of naked women and often public sex acts. It's exhausting, but dazzling.
Based on Belfort's memoir of the same title, the film shows a classic "pump-and-dump" operation, wherein brokers drive up the price of shares, then sell at the top and leave clients holding the bag. DiCaprio's Belfort is briefly portrayed as a straight arrow, until his financial career turns him into an overspending, drug-taking, hooker-hiring, client-bilking sociopath. "Whip their necks off, don't let 'em off the phone" was Belfort's motto, or so one former Stratton broker told a Forbes reporter back in the firm's heyday. That reporter is portrayed in the movie; the editor of her 1991 story is now an editor at Barron's.
As for what drew Scorsese to this material, one factor might be that the most outrageous incidents come straight from Belfort's mouth. Landing a helicopter on his lawn with one eye shut because he was high at the time? True. Persuading a female employee to shave her head by offering to pay for her breast implants? Belfort says he did that. Getting so loaded on maximum-strength Quaaludes that he wrecked his Ferrari without realizing it? That happened, too.
The movie begins with an ad for Stratton Oakmont that blatantly parodies Merrill Lynch's meandering-bull commercials: A male lion roams a trading floor, ready to eat everyone's lunch. After DiCaprio starts his voice-over with a tally of his possessions and drug intake—and that takes a while—there's a flashback to his sober young self being humiliated in his first Street job.
He's ambitious, but the system hasn't shown him yet how to be ruthless. In real life, Belfort was likely not so innocent. Before he sold rancid stocks, he sold meat and seafood, door-to-door, and ended up filing for bankruptcy at age 25 because, he once told a reporter, the margins in that business were too small. After signing on with a series of sleazy penny-stock operators, he started his own firm in a used-car dealership in Queens, N.Y.
IN THE FILM VERSION, Matthew McConaughey, who plays a senior broker at a white-shoe firm, takes Belfort to a fancy restaurant. The broker pounds his chest, advises the youngster to make some good old-fashioned cocaine a part of his daily routine, and tells him their profession is "fugazi"—fake: "Nobody knows if the stock is gonna go up, down, sideways, or in circles," he says.
Then Belfort runs headlong into an irresistible force: Black Monday, Oct. 19, 1987, when the market dropped 23% in a single day. Silence envelops the trading floor at the closing bell; there isn't another still moment in the film until Belfort himself bottoms out.
Having tried things the more-or-less straight way, a jobless Belfort discovers the world of penny stocks, where the broker's cut is 50%, not 1%. He founds what becomes Stratton Oakmont with a bunch of losers. Donnie Azoff, a composite character played by Jonah Hill, sidles up to Belfort at a restaurant and soon becomes his fawning partner. Belfort's actual partner, Daniel Porush, threatened to sue Paramount, the film's producer, if he was depicted in the film.
The firm becomes an amoral, bacchanalian cult. Prostitutes are an everyday presence; Belfort divides them into categories according to price and safe-sex requirements, dubbing the top-of-the-line hookers "blue chips" and the lowest-end ones "pink sheets." The male brokers' toxic attitude toward women is often hard to watch, and the scenes concerning "midget-tossing" contests are excruciating.
Belfort stages a gleefully crooked initial public offering for the shoe maker Steve Madden. He dumps his doe-eyed innocent wife (Cristin Milioti) for model Naomi, played by Australian Margot Robbie with a Brooklyn accent and a welcome amount of self-preserving common sense.
And he attracts the attention of an FBI agent, played by Kyle Chandler. Belfort stashes his dough in Switzerland, and that's where his unraveling begins.
The movie buys into Belfort's self-aggrandizing view of his Wall Street status, with DiCaprio even telling his acolytes they're going after "the wealthiest 1%." Moviegoers who buy that plotline, however, are purchasing another Belfort bill of goods.
In reality, the victims were more like John Kilroy, a Pizza Hut franchisee in Maineville, Ohio. Kilroy, who lost an "upsetting" amount of money in Stratton Oakmont's crooked stocks, says he received only token restitution from the roughly $11 million seized from Belfort and Porush.
After pleading guilty to fraud and money laundering in 1999, Belfort was ordered to make restitution of $110.4 million—plus interest. (Porush was ordered to pay more than $200 million.) Indeed, the judgment required Belfort to pay half of his earnings into a restitution fund, which, prosecutors say, he hasn't done.
In addition to $10.4 million in assets that were seized from him personally, Belfort has coughed up only $1.2 million so far—and most of that involuntarily. For example, he forked over $702,000 in royalties from his two memoirs only after a restraining notice was served on his agent, according to prosecutors. The Wolf of Wall Street was followed by Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, in which he revels in ratting out his former friends in return for a reduction in prison time.
Having served 28 months of a 42-month sentence, Belfort now claims he is reformed. He says he has made repeated offers over the past two years to turn over the money he received for the movie rights to the government. But prosecutors say he paid only $21,000 in restitution in 2011, the same year he signed the $1.045 million movie deal and reported the receipt of $940,500.
Belfort didn't respond to Barron's requests for comment. His attorney, Nick De Feis, at the New York firm De Feis O'Connell & Rose, says: "The parties continue to be in discussion about the restitution obligation."
FOURTEEN YEARS AFTER his guilty plea, Belfort is basking in his renewed infamy. He lives in a mini-mansion overlooking the ocean in Manhattan Beach, Calif., drives a Mercedes SL, and earns five-figure sums for his motivational speeches, according to a recent magazine article. Given that, you'd think he could have done a little bit better by his victims—and that the U.S. Attorney for New York's Eastern District, Loretta Lynch, could have pursued him more vigorously. The U.S. Attorney's office had no comment.
Scorsese, however, is not a prosecutor, and he's using Belfort to riff on a theme that runs through many of his movies. He is the great American bard of addiction—to violence as well as drugs. In The Wolf of Wall Street, which is scheduled to open on Christmas Day, sex takes the place of violence, and the drug consumption may be the greatest in the history of American movies. You can follow the plot, or you can measure the coke. You'll never be able to do both. But sex and drugs are just the trappings.
The movie's addiction narrative is about money, and how it turns a middle-class kid into, well, Jordan Belfort. Money is a drug that corrupts and rushes in to fill a moral void. And while DiCaprio owns this movie—there's scarcely a shot that doesn't include either his face or his voice—most of the other characters are equally contemptible. It's showcase Scorsese, the most sardonic entry yet in his cinematic rogues' gallery.
In the film's closing scene, the real Belfort, looking smugger and sleazier than even DiCaprio's masterful skills can capture, introduces the taller, handsomer film version of himself to a credulous audience that has paid to attend his get-rich-quick seminar.
In a recent letter to the court, Belfort's fiancée, Anne Koppe, argues that her husband-to-be is being persecuted by the government, that "he is an exemplary contributor to the economy," and that "[o]ur business and our family rely on his reputation of being an honest and honorable man."
Even DiCaprio might have been taken in. In a promotional video for Belfort's motivational-speaking business, the actor says, "Jordan stands as a shining example of the transformative qualities of ambition and hard work."
Victims like John Kilroy, who are still waiting for a second round of restitution money, are less convinced of Belfort's redemption. "Hopefully, he'll make a few more movies, and I'll get a check every year," he says, "but I'm not going to hold my breath."

The squat hits every muscle in the body in some way, shape or form, and is one of the moves that people use to measure strength. Squatting twice your bodyweight is considered a huge feat of strength, but those big number lifts don't come overnight, and without practice.
The three most common snags or roadblocks that people face when trying to boost their squat are: weak glutes, weak hamstrings, and limited mobility. Here's how to fix them.
When coming out of the bottom position of a squat and driving upward, some athletes experience an inward buckle of the knees. This condition is known as valgus collapse and it's an indication of weak glutes. If not corrected early on, injuries can occur such as tears in the ACL, PCL, and most commonly the meniscus, meaning long-term recovery from surgery.
How to Fix It
Incorporate barbell hip thrusts into your routine to directly target the glutes. Perform 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps on your leg or lower-body days.
Yes, squatting hits the quads hard, but when the weight gets heavy enough, the hamstrings and glutes become much more important muscles to activate properly. Weak hamstrings can leave you struggling while trying to come out of the hole, or bottom position.
How to Fix It
Romanian deadlifts will strengthen the hamstrings and teach the body the correct order in which to fire these muscles in order to improve squat technique. Shoot for 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps on your leg or lower-body days.
If your body is tight and stiff, it's going to be challenging to move fluidly through a range of motion, forget even thinking about packing on significant weight.
How To Fix It
Foam rolling is a good option for loosening up tight areas, but dynamic mobility work is the most effective option. After a foam rolling areas including the shoulders, chest, mid-back, lower-back, hamstrings, and glutes, perform overhead squats to stretch, open up, and mobilize all the major parts of the body. Start with 1-2 sets of 10-12 reps with a PV pipe, progressively move to a barbell for 2-3 sets while increasing the weight with each set.

Department of Revenue News Release
December 27, 2010Dept. of Revenue Announces New Agent for Warsaw License Office
JEFFERSON CITY - Connie Siercks will be the new agent for the Warsaw Motor Vehicle and License Office. The winning proposal was chosen as part of a competitive bidding process that is used for all of Missouri's local license offices.
The winning bid was one of two submitted for the office. Siercks has been the manager of the Warsaw License Office since 2005. The office will continue to be at 237 W. Main St.
The management contract for the Warsaw office became open when Wanda Brown announced that she would be stepping down as agent to fulfill her new duties as state representative of the 116th House District.
Any changes in office hours or other operations of the license office will be announced by Siercks.
According to figures from Fiscal Year 2010, there were an estimated 35,838 transactions conducted at the Warsaw office, and it generated about $120,005 in agent processing fees.
Bidders have the option of returning part of the office revenues to the state. Siercks (doing business as Benton County License Office) submitted a one-half of 1 percent ($600) return to state as part of her bid. About $1 million is estimated to be returned to the state during the first contract year from all 183 local license offices.
Although the Missouri Department of Revenue implemented the new bidding system in January of 2009 after being authorized to do so by Gov. Jay Nixon, it didn't become part of state law until legislation was signed by the Governor in the summer of 2009. The new law was overwhelmingly approved by both Republican and Democratic members of the Missouri Legislature.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said she is pleased the Warsaw office will be undergoing a smooth transition.
"Wanda did a tremendous job as agent of the Warsaw office, and I'm confident that Connie will continue to meet the high standards that have been established," Barragán-Scott said. "Connie's experience will be a real plus for the citizens of the Benton County and Truman Lake area."
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent agent.

Fall gardening, for me this year, means keeping it easy.
Mostly because the squirrels and sun aren't on our side come late September. I've started cabbages and kale and lovingly transplanted them to well-prepared containers up and down our stairs in autumns past, only to have squirrels dig them up daily until the sun lost itself behind the neighbor's house.
Never again.
This year I have my magical cold frame I converted to a squirrel-free grow box – I simply swapped out the glass lid for a hardware-cloth (wire mesh) lid. Anything I plant outside of this box will be on a whim and left to its own devices on the squirrel front.
Inside the box, we took our freshly emptied summer pots, seeds leftover from spring, and planted mesclun mix, turnips, radishes and a few onion seeds.
With heavy rains forecast for the following few days, the kiddo and I dragged out an old shower curtain, tucked it under the lid's edges, and weighed it down with scrap wood for good measure. These rains would be remnants of Hurricane Isaac, and all summer has been either no rain or crazy-windy-big-storm rain, so might as well add the wood.
The kiddo, B, who had methodically pinched the tiny seeds from my palm and less methodically sewed them, was very into storm proofing the cold frame. She's three now and loves a good project, especially a short one she can get her helping little hands on.
The next day we got nearly 4 inches of rain in two hours.
I didn't touch anything for two more days.
Today, SEEDLINGS!!! Tiny sprouts!!! No washout from the rain! Not wanting to further starve them for light, we set the scrap wood cover aside but kept the shower curtain. The weatherman says we're still at risk for all-or-nothing rain the next few days.
Let's see if we can squeeze a few beet, spinach and kale seeds into the squirrel-free, rain-shuttered box in a few days.

Peyton Manning had just finished dispatching Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers 24-17 when he was asked if a report regarding his future was weighing on his mind.
"NFL Replay" will re-air the Patriots' 34-31 win over the Broncos in Week 12 on Monday, Jan. 13 at 9 p.m. ET and again on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 12 a.m. ET.
» Can't wait? Watch it now on Game Rewind
» NFL Network schedule
"It's really not," Manning said, per the Boston Globe. "What's weighing on my mind is how soon I can get a Bud Light in my mouth. That's priority number one."
Manning completed the best regular season of any quarterback in NFL history and is fighting to win his second Super Bowl ring. So, of course an ESPN report that an offseason neck scan will dictate his NFL future isn't of concern to him at the moment.
"I've really been, this team has been, a one-week-at-a-time season," Manning said, per USA Today. "For all we've been through, losing our coach and losing different guys to injuries, that approach has served us well. I think we need to keep that approach from here on out."
Manning is keenly aware that his opportunities to hoist the Lombardi Trophy are dwindling. He said as much last week with his "light at the end of the tunnel" quote. However, he's not going to worry about what might take place in the offseason.
This week will be all about beating Tom Brady and the New England Patriots for a right to play in another Super Bowl.
Manning has all week to talk about the Patriots and all offseason to worry about medical issues. After the win, he just wanted a beer.

OAKLAND (AP) — After fighting their way back from an 0-4 start to a .500 record, the New Orleans Saints now face a tough task if they want to make it back to the playoffs.
Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Malcolm Jenkins returned an interception for another score to get the Saints back to even with a 38-17 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Lance Moore caught two touchdown passes and Mark Ingram ran for a score as the Saints (5-5) won for the fifth time in six games and are in position to make a late-season playoff run despite the season-long distraction from the bounty scandal.
Getting back to even was just the first step. New Orleans' next three games come against teams currently in first place, starting with a home game next week against the Bay Area's other team, the San Francisco 49ers, followed by games against Atlanta and the New York Giants.
The Raiders (3-7) lost their third straight game under first-year coach Dennis Allen as their banged-up defense got picked apart by Brees' precision passing. Oakland has allowed 135 points in those defeats — the most in a three-game span for the franchise since allowing 141 in the first three games in 1961.
Carson Palmer threw one interception that was returned for a score and another in the end zone, the Raiders left receivers open all day and Oakland struggled to tackle in another thorough beating. The Raiders have been outscored by 56 points the past two games.
The Saints did just about everything starting with an efficient opening drive by Brees that set the tone for the game. Brees finished 20 for 27 for 219 yards, extending his own records by throwing a touchdown in his 53rd straight game and completing 20 passes for the 46th straight game.
He did it against one of his favorite opponents. Brees has won his last seven starts against the Raiders with 16 touchdowns and no interceptions in those wins.
Even New Orleans' much-maligned defense got into the act. The Saints got the two big turnovers in the first half that got the blowout started and held Oakland to one touchdown until garbage time.
About the only bright spot for the Raiders was fullback Marcel Reece, who rushed for 103 yards and added 90 yards receiving as he started at halfback in place of injured Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson.
Brees broke open a close game late in the first half when he found Moore all alone in the end zone behind Michael Huff and fill-in safety Mike Mitchell for a 38-yard touchdown pass in the final minute of the first half to make it 21-7.
Travaris Cadet then returned the second-half kickoff 75 yards and Ingram ran it in from the 27 on the next play and the rout was on. Brees and Moore connected one more time in third quarter to make it 35-10.
The Saints easily scored on their first possession as Brees completed five of six passes on an 80-yard drive capped by a 1-yard toss to Jimmy Graham.
Palmer then threw a pair of interceptions on passes to Brandon Myers with Malcolm Jenkins returning the first 55 yards for a touchdown and Roman Harper picking the second one off in the end zone after it went through Myers' hands.

A Crestwood student recently graduated from the Bluegrass ChalleNGe Academy, a National Guard program in Fort Knox.
Dakota Williams, 18, completed the 22-week program that includes academics, leadership and job skills in a quasi-military setting.
Started in 1999 as part of a national program, BCA holds two classes per year with about 100 students in each class.
Williams plans to attend Eastern Kentucky University this semester.
While proud of her son's success at the academy, Williams' mother is disappointed he won't receive a diploma from his home school, South Oldham High.
Williams earned 20 credits from South Oldham before officials transferred him to Buckner Alternative for an undisclosed infraction.
He withdrew from BAHS in May 2012 and became a Bluegrass ChalleNGe Academy cadet in July.
BCA offers a credit recovery program and GED preparation classes for its cadets, who are primarily students who have dropped out or been expelled.
Some public school districts have policies for granting high school diplomas to BCA cadets.
But Williams' mother Andrea said she has met resistance working with Oldham County School officials.
Andrea said between November and mid-December, district and school officials gave her varying requirements and policies for her son to receive a diploma from SOHS.
Finally, the Williams' were told Dakota would receive a diploma from Buckner Alternative.
"If that was the plan all along," Andrea asked, "Why make my child bust his ass at the last minute to meet South Oldham requirements?"
To meet SOHS requirements, school officials advised Williams to complete a physics course and a second semester of consumer math — which he did through courses at BCA.
But BAHS requires just 22 credits, including three credits each in science and math.
Superintendent Will Wells said the district can't comment on a student's confidential records, but there are specific reasons Williams will receive a BAHS diploma instead of one from SOHS.
Student disciplinary matters are private, as are juvenile court records.
However, Williams was arrested for drunk driving in May.
According to court records, Oldham County Police stopped Williams at 2 a.m. May 24 on I-71 south for having a broken tail light and failing to use his turn signal.
Several people were in the car with Williams and police noted all smelled like alcohol.
Williams had a blood alcohol level of .082, above the adult legal limit of .08 — but the limit for those under age 21 is .02.
Williams told police he had drank earlier but that it had been at least two hours before driving.
He is scheduled to appear in Oldham District Court court Jan. 30 — his case was delayed while he completed the Bluegrass ChalleNGe academy.
Wells says the district has followed policy in addressing Williams' situation.
"If her goal is for her son to get a diploma so he can get on with his post-secondary plans," Wells said, "then we are helping her do this by granting a diploma from the last school he was assigned to attend — BAHS."
Andrea says she feels like her son is being treated like a criminal.
"He has worked his butt off the past 22 weeks to get his life together," she said. "He went without driving, TV, video games, music, privacy, freedom, telephone and countless other things."

A massive sinkhole opened up in a residential neighborhood in Windermere, Florida that was 100 feet across and nearly 50 feet deep.
Luckily, no one was hurt in the freak accident, though the massive hole displaced a family of six, which had to be evacuated with aid of the fire department.
The cause of the sinkhole is unknown, but officials believe the dry weather conditions experienced in parts of the south could have contributed to the hole.
The hole ends a mere three feet from the family's two-story house, WESH reported.
One of the homeowners discovered the pit in their backyard around 7am this morning when they let the dog out.
When the Orange County Fire Department arrived, they told the family to gather as many personal belongings as they could and evacuate.
The house was deemed unsafe to live in.
Homeowner Lou Lambros told Bay News 9 that he and his family had only been living in the home for two months.
'The ground was just falling into the hole, and the trees were gone,' he said. 'It was happening very rapidly, too.'
According to WESH, geological experts are currently evaluating the hole.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania are the states most affected by sinkholes.
While they often occur from natural causes, sinkholes can be man-made and caused by human activity. Groundwater pumping and construction are the most likely culprits.

The largest Greek island by area is Crete, located at the southern coast of the Aegean Sea. The second largest island of Greece is Euboea, which is separated from the mainland by the 60m wide Euripus Strait, and is administered as part of the Central Greece region nowadays.

What's it about YOU that will bring your audience for you? Among the greatest mistakes you can make is attempting to duplicate someone in your business. Although, they may become successful, you're not giving your target audience reasons to pick your services over theirs. That is why it is essential to reveal your audience why you're distinct, and be consistent with your singularity.

WarToad food truck guy todai buffet is my favorite all you can eat buffet Todai is hands down the only seafood buffet I've ever been impressed with. Likely because every Todai I've been to has such heavy traffic the buffet turns over probably every 15-20 minutes. It's fresh or it's gone, there's no in-between.

mar52 My mother loved Todai until she realized what they charged.
MetroplexJim On our family vacations to Rehoboth Beach, DE we almost always made a trip down to Ocean City to enjoy a seafood meal at Phillips ( http://phillipsseafood.com/ ). So, when Phillips took over the old Flagship restaurant on the Washington, DC Maine Ave. Pier we had to visit. It was and still is a buffet. After a quick survey of the buffet and the "scene" we turned and left for a decent a la carte seafood meal at Bish Thompson's in Bethesda. Aside from enjoying #10 cocktail shrimp at a swanky brunch, we don't "do" seafood buffets: too much chance for something happening.

Despite having a seven on his card, Sweden's Jens Dantorp signed for a stunning round of 63 on the second morning of the ALLIANZ Open Côtes d'Armor Bretagne to surge from tied 75th overnight to a share of first place.
Dantorp is no stranger to feats of incredibly low scoring, having lived every professional golfer's dream at the Bravo Tour Open on the Satellite Nordic League last season, when he signed for a magical round of 59.
Needless to say, Dantorp went on to win that tournament en route to topping the Nordic League's Order of Merit, thus earning him a place on the Challenge Tour this season.
The 22 year old from Malmö has enjoyed a productive start to his debut Challenge Tour campaign, following up a tied 12th finish in India with a joint 30th finish in Kenya to climb into the top 30 of the Rankings.
But his round of 63 – which included ten birdies, six pars, a bogey and that double bogey seven – was comfortably the lowest of Dantorp's fledgling Challenge Tour career.
According to Dantorp, the main difference between an opening round of 74 and his rather more spectacular effort on the second day was that his putter caught fire, despite the cold temperatures and stiff breeze at Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf Val André, in the Bretagne region of northern France.
He said: "Other than my double bogey, I have to be very pleased with that round. Unfortunately I lost my first drive and then hit my second tee shot into the thick rough, so in the end I was quite pleased to walk off with a seven. And I got the shots straight back, so in the end it didn't matter too much.
"The wind was much calmer than yesterday and the game just felt quite easy today. I was hitting my approach shots close, and my putter was really hot – I made a lot of putts from three or four metres. I don't know how many putts I had, but I know it wasn't very many! Hopefully if I can keep that going over the weekend, I will have a good chance."
Mikko Korhonen, playing his first event of the season after recovering from the wrist surgery he underwent in February, joined Dantorp at the top of the leaderboard, albeit with a more mundane round of 69.
Having spent six weeks recuperating from surgery, Korhonen flew to Orlando, America, to undergo some intensive winter practice with his fellow Finns Antti Ahokas and Roope Kakko, whose nuptials he attended on New Year's Eve.
And the practice paid off with a steady display which included birdies at the 10th (his first), seventh and eighth holes, where he drained a 30 foot putt.
Korhonen said: "I'm happy, because I played very steady. I started with a birdie but then had to wait a long time for my second one, so I had to be patient. But I struck my driver very well all day, and the key to going low round here is to keep the ball in play and away from the rough, because the greens are quite receptive. So if you find the fairways, you've got a chance of making birdies. It was obviously disappointing to finish with a bogey, but I won't worry too much about it.
"This is my first tournament since Q School last year, so I've been itching to go. It was frustrating having the wrist surgery, because it made for a very long off-season. But I needed to get it done, because my fingers were starting to feel a bit numb. But I'm back now, so hopefully I can start to make up for lost time."
Joint overnight leaders Chris Hanson and Stephen Grant struggled to build on their solid opening efforts, carding front nine scores of 37 and 39 respectively.
But Spaniard Carlos Aguilar was moving in the opposite direction up the leaderboard, collecting five birdies in his opening 12 holes to climb to five under par.

text: Snoring - The Noisy Nightmare! Eight to 10 years ago, snoring was regarded as a strictly cosmetic issue - people are just loud when they sleep. Today, however people realized that snoring is also a medical issue. Snoring is a very common sleep disorder that can be bothersome to the snorer's family or friends, but may actually be the first sign of a more serious sleep disorder Causes of Snoring Snoring is caused by vibrations of portions of the upper airway during sleep. There are two structures that usually are the source for the noise: the soft palate and the base of the tongue. The major concern with is that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common in people who snore. OSA can have serious health consequences if it is untreated. If your spouse snores, you should closely observe him or her at night to see if there are breaks or pauses in breathing. This is a typical finding in OSA. Another sign of OSA is daytime somnolence. If either of these are present, or if the snoring is excessively loud, you should definitely bring it to your doctor's attention. The etiology and risk factors for snoring are very similar to those of OSA, so the discussions on that disorder linked above will overlap much of the information given here. Snoring is known to be more common in overweight individuals. Difficulty breathing through the nose can worsen snoring. Certain anatomic features, like large tonsils, a large soft palate, or (most often in children) large adenoids can worsen snoring. Treatment for Snoring Before treatment for snoring can be considered, it is important to determine if significant sleep apnea is present. This usually requires an overnight sleep study. Treating the sleep apnea usually also will correct the snoring. Since there can be health consequences of untreated sleep apnea, this take priority. If only snoring is present, it is actually treated using methods similar to treatment of mild sleep apnea. Losing weight, even a small amount, can be quite effective in reducing snoring. If nasal obstruction is present, anything that improves nasal airflow may reduce snoring. Nasal swelling can occur with allergies, and a variety of different medications can be effective. If there is a deviated nasal septum, a septoplasty may be helpful. Various pillows or other tricks to help reposition the snorer may be useful. Snoring is usually worse on one's back, so anything that encourages the snorer to sleep on his or her side can help out. Compliance may be a problem with anything that is uncomfortable or impractical. Surgical Treatments for Snoring Various surgical techniques can be useful in reducing the severity of snoring. These procedures do not eliminate snoring, but may make it less loud so is better tolerated by the snorer's bed partner. Snoring is most often caused by fluttering of the soft palate, so the goal of the operations is to stiffen up the palate and prevent this movement. LAUP Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty is an outpatient procedure in which a " linear cut on either side of the uvula, and may trim a portion of the uvula. As this incision heals, it causes some scarring of the back of the palate. This shortens the palate and reduces it tendency to vibrate. A LAUP is generally not felt to be sufficient for severe sleep apnea, but seems to help in mild cases. Somonoplasty Similar in principle to a LAUP is somnoplasty. Somonoplasty is a new procedure that uses radio frequency energy to heat tissue in the palate, causing formation of a lesion that gradually scars down and reduces the size and floppiness of the palate. The improvement is not immediate, but rather develops gradually over three to six weeks. The handpiece to deliver the energy for somnoplasty has a thermocouple that keeps the temperature at just the right level during treatment. Three regions of the palate are typically treated at one time, and improvements are often seen after just one treatment. Somnoplasty is also an outpatient procedure and is quite a bit less painful than a LAUP. Insurance Coverage Some insurance companies do not pay for the treatment of snoring as a distinct, isolated problem. Some patients undergo sleep studies, which confirm the severity of their sleep disorder, thereby rendering treatment insurable. In most cases, snoring is caused by several anatomic factors that jointly block the airway during sleep. Correction of these factors, such as nasal obstruction, enlarged tonsils and abnormalities of the palate, is covered by insurance. An initial consultation with an ear, nose and throat specialist will help determine which treatment/s is right for you. Don't ignore the snore! Call 1-800-973-NOSE (6673).

Rep. Nancy Pelosi isn't going to be House speaker again any time soon. Several networks say the House will stay in Republican hands, stalling Pelosi's "Drive for 25″ seats campaign to take back the House.
When Pelosi appeared before the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board a few weeks back, she walked us district by district around the country telling us how Dems would win.
I questioned her math. Told her nonpartisan organizations said she had no chance of winning.
"Who? Which people?" Pelosi asked. Folks like the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, I said. She dismissed their analysts as people who sit in offices and aren't in the field like she is.
Meanwhile, networks are calling Michigan and Pennsylvania for President Obama. Michigan swung out of Romney's grasp weeks ago and Pennsylvania was apparently briefly in play in late October — at least judging by Romney's media buys there. He even campaigned in Pittsburgh on Election Day.
And Fox News just called Wisconsin for Obama. So much for the Paul Ryan effect.

Ireland's Simon Thornton continued his sparkling form on the second day of the money-spinning Kazakhstan Open to open up a two-shot lead over the rest of the field at the €400,000 Challenge Tour event.
Thornton, who finished in a tie for 21st place on his only previous visit to Kazakhstan two years ago, embarked on a birdie blitz on another day of high temperatures at Nurtau Golf Club, in Almaty, where he covered the front nine in just 31 shots.
The 34 year old made another gain at the tenth hole, before dropping his only shot of the day at the par three 14th hole. But Thornton finished on a high note with his seventh birdie of the day on the last to sign for a round of 66 which moved him to 11 under par, two shots clear of Norwegian rookie Knut Borsheim.
Thornton said: "I just tried to carry on doing what I did yesterday, because when you're playing well sometimes you can start to get a little bit negative. That's just the way the human mind works. But today I got off to a great start, starting holing some nice putts, and managed to keep the momentum going for the whole round.
"I actually missed a six-footer for birdie on the second, so I could've quite easily birdied my first five holes. Then I birdied the two par fives, the eighth and the tenth, which are both reachable – even for me – if you hit good drives, so if you only make a par there, you almost feel like you're dropping a shot on the field. I don't hit the ball a long way but you get a lot of run on the fairways out there, so that's a big help for players like me.
"I played just as well on the back nine as I did on the front but just didn't really hole any putts apart from the 18th, where I holed a nice one, so that was a great finish to another really pleasing day for me. The course is playing quite tough and the rough is really thick in places, so I'm absolutely thrilled to be on 11 under after two days."
Borsheim, who is playing under a sponsor's invitation, was equally delighted after signing for a flawless round of 65 to surge from tied 20th place overnight to second – albeit with the afternoon starters yet to complete their rounds.
The young Norwegian, who graduated from Arizona State University in America last year, has shown little in his six previous appearances on the Challenge Tour to suggest that he would play a leading role this week, with a tie for 31st place at the Acaya Open his best performance to date.
But Borsheim revealed he has been struggling with chronic fatigue, and has only recently returned to full fitness.
He said: "I just felt tired all the time. I could hardly get out of bed in the morning, and had no energy to practice or play golf. I just had to be nice to my body for a while, because I think I was probably exhausted from college, and studying, and playing a lot of golf. I've got another scan in October to try to find out what the problem is, but at the moment I feel absolutely fine, which is probably why I'm playing much better now.
"I feel like a round like today's has been coming for a while now, because I've been playing better and better – even if my results may not have shown that. The longest par putt I had today was from about three feet, so I was never really in any trouble.
"The course suits me, because I hit it pretty straight and long, so I can take advantage of some of the par fives especially. The set-up is quite similar to some of the courses over in the States, with the thick rough, which I obviously got used to playing when I was at college over there. So I feel very comfortable out here."
Aided by both his newly-found mental strength and a large slice of luck, Callum Macaulay moved into third place on six under par.
Macaulay credited his new mental coach and a gift from the golfing gods after signing for a second successive round of 69 for a midway aggregate total of 138.
The Scotsman flew out the blocks, opening with a birdie on the tenth hole and reaching the turn in 32.
Then after finding the middle of the fairway on the first hole his ball collected some mud, leaving Macaulay facing a dilemma.
He said: "The mud was on the left side of the ball, so the theory goes that the ball will go right – but there's a hazard on the right, and I didn't want to go in that. So I just kept the ball back in my stance, and tried to keep it as low as I could. I ended up skimming the ball a bit, but it was right in line with the flag, and as soon as I hit it I shouted "get in".
"Sure enough it landed just short of the green, bounced a few times and trickled into the hole for an eagle. Sam Little fell over laughing, but I'll certainly take a good break, because I've had enough bad luck in recent weeks.
"I've been struggling mentally as much as anything else, because I felt like I was striking the ball well enough, but just not getting anything out of my rounds. So I decided to see a mental coach back home, and I've definitely felt the benefit of my work with her over the last two days, because my head has been in the right place on every single shot.
"I've not got emotional either way, whether it be excited after a good shot, or angry after a bad one. I took a leaf out of Darren Clarke's book, and just tried to stay as level-headed as possible. It's early days yet, but at least I now feel I'm moving in the right direction and have got something to build on.
"I've not made a cut in my last six tournaments, and it's been pretty tough. So just making the cut is a bonus, but to be going into the weekend in contention is even better."

Cops: Woman who approached kids is located
Darien detectives located the woman who offered puppies to children as they walked home from school Tuesday, police said.
The woman, a dog breeder from Brewster, N.Y., with ties to the area, approached three groups of Darien children walking home on Middlesex Road from school and asked if they wanted puppies, according to police.
According to police Wednesday, the woman said she didn't believe she was doing anything wrong. They told her that approaching children as she did was ill-advised.
The woman was reported to have driven an older tan or beige SUV or hatchback vehicle, according to police, with bumper stickers, tinted rear windows and a cage dividing the trunk from the rear passenger seats. Police said there were also two white posters with pictures of puppies on the rear passenger window.
The children reported that when she approached them from her vehicle, the woman asked "Do you want puppies?" police said. When the children said no, she continued driving north on Middlesex Road, according to police.
No charges will be filed and the case is closed, police said.

Program outline
Re-Dub presents an extremely flexible format that allows teams to explore company issues in a fun context. Each team begins with a short movie clip. The clips are intentionally eclectic in their style and genre – however they all feature interaction between colourful characters. Most importantly, the original dialogue has been removed from the footage. Given a specific company related topic, the teams are challenged to script and rehearse logical dialogue that follows the action. The event culminates with a live presentation where each team takes their turn in an 'on air' booth. Microphones at the ready and the tension mounts as the countdown clock cues each team in.
Learning and development outcomes
Timing and co-ordination are key to perfect synchronisation. Re-Dub is a powerful team building event to explore messaging about communication, values and customer service. Strong leadership is required to complete the challenge to deadline. Role allocation, communication and bold decision making are critical to the success of the event.

National Parks - Parks Canada
National parks are established to protect and present outstanding representative examples of natural landscapes and natural phenomena that occur in Canada's 39 natural regions, as identified in the National Parks System Plan. These wild places, located in every province and territory, range from mountains and plains, to boreal forests and tundra, to lakes and glaciers, and much more. National parks protect the habitats, wildlife and ecosystem diversity representative of - and sometime unique to - the natural regions.
National parks are located on the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic coasts, across the interior mountains and plains and Great Lakes, reaching as far north and south as Canada goes. They range in size from just under 9 km2 to almost 45,000 km2. Parks Canada is responsible for both protecting the ecosystems of these magnificent natural areas and managing them for visitors to understand, appreciate, and enjoy in a way that doesn't compromise their integrity.
Parks Canada is working to maintain or restore the ecological integrity of national parks. This means keeping ecosystems healthy and whole. Maintaining or restoring ecological integrity is a challenging task that involves a good understanding of the dynamic nature of ecosystems and the stresses they face. It also requires collaboration among people whose actions influence the ecosystems and their sustainability - from neighbouring landowners and businesses, to local residents, visitors and governments. The above reflect the principles of ecosystem management.

Sable Island National Park Proposal:
On May 18, 2010, the Honourable Jim Prentice, Canada's Environment Minister and Minister Responsible for Parks Canada, and the Honourable John MacDonell, Nova Scotia's Minister of Natural Resources, announced that the governments of Canada and Nova Scotia will take the necessary steps to explore how Sable Island could be designated as a national park under the Canada National Parks Act for the benefit of future generations.
Historic Sites - Parks Canada
Canada commemorates persons and events for their national historic significance as well as places. So far, over 1500 places, persons and events have been commemorated by the Government of Canada. And the list keeps growing as Canada's history unfolds.
Together, all these commemorations make up what is known as the system of National Historic Sites of Canada. In each generation the system has evolved with this nation's changing view of itself. Today there is a greater interest in social history reflecting the achievements and experiences of everyday Canadians.
The national historic sites system covers the entire range of Canadian human history under five broad themes:
- Peopling the Land
- Governing Canada
- Developing Economies
- Building Social and Community Life
- Expressing Intellectual and Cultural Life
National historic sites represent thousands of years of human history and hundreds of years of nation building. Yet centuries, and millennia, can take their toll - from erosion and decay, to lack of awareness, to abandonment - on diverse cultural resources that include shell middens, underwater shipwrecks, fort remains, historic buildings, industrial complexes, heritage canals, and more.
An important part of Parks Canada's mandate involves protecting the health and wholeness, or commemorative integrity, of the national historic sites it operates. This means preserving the site's cultural resources, communicating its heritage values and national significance, and kindling the respect of people whose decisions and actions affect the site.

Heritage Lighthouses of Canada
In May of 2008, Canada adopted a new law that will protect heritage lighthouses, the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act . It came into force on May 29, 2010. Given its expertise in heritage conservation, Parks Canada was assigned responsibility for the implementation of the Act.
To ensure the protection and conservation of heritage lighthouses, the Act:
- Provides for the selection and designation of heritage lighthouses;
- Prevents the unauthorized alteration or disposition of heritage lighthouses;
- Requires that heritage lighthouses be reasonably maintained; and
- Facilitates sales or transfers of heritage lighthouses in order to ensure the lighthouse's public purpose

EvangelicalUse > ShepherdPupToRescue - rRandyP
How ShepherdPupLinux has become an evangelical opportunity.
Recently, some friends of mine were in a predicament. The three roommates who once shared a computer now suddenly found themselves with out a computer (impounded.. it's a long story). So they called who? ....me.
I was thankfully able to arrange the donation of an older Dell laptop with a slow and over sized WindowsXP bogging it down from a kind (but MS loyal) soul.
Enter ShepherdPupLinux.
Not only did ShepherdPupLinux boot on it complete with no additional configuration, Shep restored this 2004 vintage Dell to her youthful snap and vigor. The best thing was that there upon every reboot was a customized pBiblx2 Field Wise Bible System screen with random bible quotes of the day greeting the three at every turn.
Since then I've been asked to return to configure their wireless connection. Two of the three have become biblical inquisitive, the other...well... he can't wait to get his impounded computer back.

I'm trying something new, last night I was bored and like so many at a loss for something to do, I ended up on Google, typing random words and clicking through the results. I happened upon a game in which I clicked the link for results page numbered seven then tapped the down arrow key seven times then hit enter (seven is a favourite number of mine). Soon my boredom became so chronic that I could no longer think of random words so, like so many at a loss for words, I ended up typing out QWERTY. Upon playing my game of sevens, I became engrossed in a site, over a decade untouched, about the Dvorak keyboard layout.
Note: Before starting this post, I started a stopwatch.
I remember my first day at secondary school. I was just twelve years old (though my aspergers gave me a mental age of around 10 I think) and I hadn't even left primary school yet. It was an "induction day" in which we were given tours of the school and samples of different classes. I of course remember the Information Technology class. I couldn't tell you what was said, needless to say, it was all very basic stuff that I already knew; what I remember is my fascination of the room.
The most computers I had seen in one room up until that point had been two… in my living room. But here before me was a room with easily thirty computers in it and amazingly they were all, every single one of them, on the internet! We didn't have internet at home, Dad said that it was "too expensive," it would be a few months yet that I would convince him otherwise and perform my first PC surgery to install a dial up modem. But it was not the internet that caught my fancy that day, I knew that the internet was far, far too big for me to read through in a fifty minute class, I would need a whole day to do that, no, it was the posters on the wall that caught my attention.
It was really one specific poster, a picture of a computer keyboard. Different columns of keys were colour coded and numbered between 2 and 5 with the space bar numbered 1. I knew instantly what this meant from my books at home for learning piano. This was the secret to touch typing. This was very exciting to me as I so very wanted to be able to type without having to stare at my own fingers, then up to the screen then down again and so on. It was tedious and knowing that others out there could type without this strain filled me with envy.
That night, I went home to my computer and started practising. Very quickly I realised that the F and the J had little bumps to tell me where to place my index fingers on the middle row as a kind of starting point. I later learnt that these bumped keys are known as the "home keys" and the middle row, the "home row." By the end of the summer holidays and before my real first day of secondary school had even arrived, I had taught my self to touch type. The tedious IT classes using the horrid 'Mavis Beacon Typing Tutor' software were used mainly as a race than anything else to see how quickly I could escape them as by this point, these classes were not needed on me. Few others in my class seemed even interested in learning to type and eleven years later, I still meet people who act like I'm some kind of magician when I turn my head to look at them and my fingers continue to tap away over the keys.
A quick test today using this site tells me that I can type at 62 words per minute. Not lightening fast I'll admit but I'm pleased with it. But reading through the articles I found last night told me that this could be improved by using the Dvorak Keyboard layout. Assuming I avoid switching between the two too much, it promised that I would be back to my normal typing speed within two to three weeks, if not, faster. A major benefit boasted was that I would also be less likely to find my hands cramping up, an issue that plagues me on a regular basis. I set about with my pen knife at hand, modifying my keyboard.
This took about an hour to do and I'm sure anyone who has ever had to replace just one of the keys on a laptop keyboard can guess why.
Now I've always found typing tutors to be more a hindrance than anything else so I'd chosen to use my original tactic of diving right in to touch typing. After around five minutes, I discovered that this was not going to work. I was wrong, when I started typing on Qwerty, I didn't start just touch typing, no, I had to spend a long part of my early computer days hunting and jabbing at letters; only when I'd learnt where the letters were was I then able to start learning to type at any real speed. So that's how you find me now, my first day of Dvorak, back to my computer childhood, hunting for my letters and jabbing them with frustration when I finally find them. I'll keep you updated.
Time to type this post: 1 hour 31 minutes.

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche Z71 Review - Long-Term ReportPosted in Vehicle Reviews on December 1, 2008
As we roll on the miles during the third quarter of our Avalanche's stay with us, something is becoming apparent to our testers-the Avalanche is a favorite for long trips. It has plenty of room for the family with gear, gets good fuel economy, and offers one of the most comfortable truck accommodations in the market.
During this quarter, we added another 5,800 miles to the Avalanche's odometer, taking it on many road trips. The 5.3L V-8 is smooth running and torquey, although we have found that the four-speed transmission sometimes feels mismatched with its fuel-economy-inspired delayed downshifts. We think the six-speed automatic that will eventually find its way in to the Avalanche will be a better match for the 5.3L, but the four-speed still gets the job done. Our Avalanche is also equipped with the Active Fuel Management cylinder-deactivation system, which works as promised and it is imperceptible to the driver or occupants.
The coil-spring rear suspension (straight from the Suburban 1500) offers excellent ride quality for a fullsize pickup, especially off the road, where it takes the edge off of impacts that are generally felt with rear leaf springs. The rear suspension is probably the Avalanche's biggest selling point for someone considering it to a traditional pickup.
While the overall build quality is superb, we have noticed an intermittent rattle in the dash that we haven't been able to pinpoint, and we have found that the tire-pressure monitoring system is highly sensitive to outside temperature swings. On cold nights we have had low-pressure warnings, followed by high-pressure warnings on hot days-just something to note.
One strange anomaly our testers reported was a "Service Airbag" indicator in the message center that came on during some spirited wheeling up near Big Bear, California. However, upon restart, the message cleared itself, never to return again.
Other than that, our staff continues to praise the Chevy's high-quality materials, great ride, and surprising functionality from the covered rear box. In fact we even question whether the Midgate is even necessary, considering we have only used it a couple of times-mostly to show how it works to curious bystanders.

Cavuto allowed King to yet again blame Democrats for felony immigration provision; failed to question King's false Alaska-Saudi Arabia oil comparison
Fox News' Neil Cavuto failed to challenge House Homeland Security committee chairman Peter King's (R-NY) misleading claim that "Democrats voted" for a provision in the House immigration reform bill that makes illegal presence in the U.S. a felony. Cavuto also left unchallenged King's false claim that Alaska's oil reserves are "equivalent" to those of Saudi Arabia.
During an interview with House Homeland Security committee chairman Peter King (R-NY) on the April 24 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto failed to challenge King's misleading claim that "Democrats voted" to retain a provision in the House immigration reform bill that makes illegal presence in the U.S. a felony. Cavuto also left unchallenged King's false claim that Alaska's oil reserves are "equivalent" to those of Saudi Arabia.
While discussing the controversy surrounding the immigration bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in December 2005, Cavuto did not challenge King's claim that "[t]he only reason that the [immigration] bill came out of the House saying that it's a felony for immigrants to overstay their visa is because the Democrats voted to keep it a felony." But as Media Matters for America has documented, GOP congressional leaders have recently attempted to blame Democrats for the controversial felony provision in the immigration bill by asserting that, because Democrats voted against an amendment sponsored by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) to reduce the charge for unlawful presence in the United States from a felony to a misdemeanor, Democrats support the felony provision. This is not the first time King's assertions went unchallenged. Media Matters also recently noted that CNN host Lou Dobbs failed to challenge King's claim that Democrats are to blame for the immigration bill's felony provision.
In fact, as the Congressional Record shows, Democrats opposed the measure because it retained the bill's imposition of criminal penalties for unlawful presence -- not because they supported the felony provision, as King and other Republicans have suggested. From Rep. Zoe Lofgren's (D-CA) floor statement immediately following Sensenbrenner's introduction of the amendment:
LOFGREN: This section, section 203, makes virtually any violation of the immigration laws an ongoing criminal act. In one stroke, it would subject the entire undocumented population, estimate by some to be 11 million people, to criminal liability. Now the amendment before us changes the degree of punishment, but it does not alter the underlying issue of criminalizing being alive in the country without documents.
Shortly thereafter, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) declared on the House floor that the Hispanic Congressional Caucus had unanimously resolved to oppose the amendment. "I do not think we should criminalize it at any level," Gutierrez said.
In addition, Sensenbrenner's introduction of the amendment illustrates that the Bush administration lobbied to change the felony provision to a misdemeanor out of concern that the due process requirements associated with felony charges would limit the number of actual prosecutions. From Sensenbrenner's December 16, 2005, floor statement:
SENSENBRENNER: The administration subsequently requested the penalty for these crimes be lowered to 6 months. Making the first offense a felony, as the base bill would do, would require a grand jury indictment, a trial before a district court judge and a jury trial.
Also because it is a felony, the defendant would be able to get a lawyer at public expense if the defendant could not afford the lawyer. These requirements would mean that the government would seldom if ever actually use the new penalties. By leaving these offenses as misdemeanors, more prosecutions are likely to be brought against those aliens whose cases merit criminal prosecution.
For this reason, the amendment returns the sentence for illegal entry to its current 6 months and sets the penalty for unlawful presence at the same level.
Later in the Your World segment, while discussing the implications of high energy prices and the immigration issue for the 2006 mid-term elections, Cavuto failed to question King's claim that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) has "a 30-year supply of oil, equivalent to that of Saudi Arabia." According to the U.S. government, however, Saudi Arabia has more oil resources than the entire United States, not just "up in Alaska."
As Media Matters has previously noted, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States has between 21.4 and 29.3 billion barrels of proved oil reserves, while Saudi Arabia possesses between 262.1 and 266.8 billion barrels of proved oil reserves. "Proved oil reserves" are defined by the EIA as "estimated quantities that analysis of geologic and engineering data demonstrates with reasonable certainty are recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions."
A U.S. Geological Survey analysis, which uses a different methodology to assess the "ultimate oil resources" available to each country, found that the United States has up to 255.2 billion barrels, while Saudi Arabia has up to 374.2 billion barrels.
From the April 24 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Do you think that the Democrats are trying to paint the -- the -- the get-tough position on illegal immigrants with an issue that will hurt your party with legal immigrants in the next election -- in other words, with the Hispanic community in particular, with whom you have made great gains, that that's what they're going to hang over their head?
KING: Well, you know, it's hard to get into the mind of some of these Democrats. They have totally distorted what the bill is all about. The only reason that the bill came out of the House saying that it's a felony for immigrants to overstay their visa is because the Democrats voted to keep it a felony. You have people like the Catholic bishops and Democrats saying that we have made it illegal to assist illegal immigrants who need food and water. That's totally untrue. So, I think they are trying to distort it. They're afraid to come to terms with the real issue. They are trying to hurt us with Hispanics. But, you know, we can't be looking at this as a race or ethnic group issue. It's an American issue. And I think all immigrants, especially those who are here legally, realize what we're trying to do. And I'm willing to do what's the right thing, and let the chips fall where they may.
CAVUTO: While I still have you, do you think that these twin issues -- the higher energy prices, still no way to solve the illegal immigration mess -- are a one-two punch that are going to kill Republicans this November?
KING: No, I don't expect to be killed at all. I have been hearing this from the Democrats for the last 12 years. We're going to have tough races. There's no doubt about it. But I believe we're right on immigration, the House of Representatives. The American people do want tighter border security. And one of the reasons we have gas shortages is because the Democrats have stopped us from drilling in ANWR. We can get as much oil from ANWR in the -- up in Alaska, as we could from Saudi Arabia. It's a 30-year supply of oil, equivalent to that of Saudi Arabia. So, you know, there's no easy answer on this, but that's one answer which the liberals and the Democrats have continually blocked, because they cave in to liberal extremists on the environmental issue.
CAVUTO: Yes, but it's your party, right? I mean, there's a different view on the illegal immigration mess held by the Senate, more, I think, in line, Congressman, with the president's views on this -- not quite amnesty, but it seems pretty close, and --
KING: Yes.
CAVUTO: -- and your own House.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma defensive back Cortez Johnson has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana and received a six-month deferred sentence and three months of probation.
Assistant District Attorney Dane Powery tells the Norman Transcript (http://is.gd/fQYTjn) that Johnson took ``full responsibility'' for the marijuana found last month in the car of Sooners wide receiver Jalen Saunders. Misdemeanor drug charges against Saunders were dropped Tuesday.
The two players were arrested early Dec. 2 by Cleveland County officers. Authorities say Johnson was driving Saunders' car at the time of the arrest.
Saunders had 62 receptions for 829 yards and three touchdowns last season. Johnson redshirted last season after transferring to Oklahoma from Arizona.

Having been raised in a multi-cultural home with both Egyptian and American parents, Jacquie's signature aesthetic was born, an unlikely combination of these two richly storied heritages. The merging of Native American turquoise relics, fossils and precious gemstones, with the Middle Eastern influences of hammered gold, amulets and goddess imagery, is what drives Jacquie's design philosophy.
Jacquie Aiche designs, much like the woman herself, are the sartorial embodiment of ethereal ease...with a just hint of rebellion."When you concentrate on the core of who you are, and the true blessings you've been given, finding your inner joy and peace comes easy."
It was this simple yet impactful concept that inspired Jacquie and revered spiritual mystic Sylvain to create Blesslev; A stunning collection of jewelry, rooted in the belief of the protective healing powers of amulets. This is a universal concept that transcends the border of religions. Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam all covet the belief that the powers of joy, protection and healing can be encapsulated within wearable blessed objects. These amulets imbue the wearer with the spirit of the goddess.

Beginning her second career, Andréa Sisino loves being part of an organization that helps others. As director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, she coordinates classes for 1,300 people over the age of 50.
With a degree in sociology, Sisino, 53, developed an interest in people and the mindset of different cultures. After college she traveled the world working for the YMCA. When she settled down in Vermont she established a sports management career for 20 years.
After her husband, Mike Sisino, toured Charleston and the Bluffton area on business, he told her that it would be their new home.
Sisino wasn't ready to retire. When she saw an open position as director at OLLI, she began researching the program.
"I wanted somewhere where I could make a difference and really believed in its mission," she said. "At OLLI there are so many people who have had amazing careers and have a passion to share their knowledge."
OLLI is a national program that offers continued education for those who want to take intellectual-stimulating classes for the purpose of just learning. There are no tests or quizzes.
While some professors teach other classes at USCB, other teachers include students of OLLI.
"There are retired Ph.D.'s, doctors, lawyers, judges and just people who before they moved to the Lowcountry had huge careers," Sisino said. "There are 240 classes each term. Part of the mission statement is that these classes are for those who have the love to learn. You take the class because you love it."
Mike Ivers moved to Sun City in 2005 after participating in the OLLI programs at Emory University and a Senior Community College in Atlanta. He became an avid researcher of the World War I and II period. He taught a series on the music from the 1940s at Mercer University.
When Atlanta outgrew him, Ivers decided to relocate to the Lowcountry. In the fall, he is teaching several programs including "The Musical History of the Broadway Musical" and many documentary film series classes.
"Andrea has encouraged me to expand my subject matter with the caveat: Keep it interesting. She has backed me on a number of successful lecture series," Ivers said. "The program keeps expanding, and for good reason. Many senior citizens in Beaufort County have not lost their innate curiosity and the OLLI program at USCB serves the many thousands who want to still keep 'learning'."
As a teacher, Ivers continues to learn as he researches facts and photographs to present a professional finished product to the "students." Through Sisino's dedication to grow the OLLI program, seniors in Beaufort and Jasper counties have the opportunity to learn more.
"I love being a part of this program because it's a community effort," she said. "We're always learning from each other. It is a lifelong endeavor and we learn here that the aging process can be empowering and exciting."
MEET ANDRéA SISINO
Age: 53
Family: Husband, Mike, and two stepchildren
Education: University of South Florida

As much as we rag on Vince Spadea for his prosti-totes, bedazzled trucker hats, or wearing basketball shorts on the court, we have to give credit where it's due.
See how well this eccentric American cleans up? It's like an episode of Extreme Makeover all up in hurrrr. Here he is playing a first round match at the Thailand Open (losing to Tommy Haas 6-4, 4-6, 1-6 in the first round). Put a non-obnoxious shirt on him (from his own line, of course) and he looks great. That hair is another story…
But we should enjoy this while it lasts. Back in May, Bethanie Mattek had the crazy notion that she'd tone down her on-court fashion style. It got her a title, but it didn't last long. She was back to her old ways by the 2007 U.S. Open.

Patatas Bravas should really served as a tapas dish, however, it makes a great camping/festival meal and is also good for an end of the week/month dinner, when the cupboards (and purse) are bare!
Serves 4
- 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- 1 kg/2lb bag of frozen potato cubes, almost defrosted
- 1 large jar of tomato and chilli pasta sauce
Throw in the jar of tomato and chilli sauce and any extras (see below) and heat through for a further few minutes until piping hot.
Serve with bread, olives and salad.
Alternatives: To bulk this out, add some extra veg/protein along with the tomato sauce (eg: a tin of drained beans/chickpeas/sweetcorn/sliced mushrooms/veggie salami/chorizo etc...anything ready cooked.). You could also swap the potato cubes for frozen chips, wedges or even hash browns.
For a cheaper version, use 'real' potatoes and a home made tomato sauce.
Make individual portions and serve as a tapas dish whilst watching Spain play in the World Cup!
I'm entering this recipe to this month's Credit Crunch Munch , hosted at Gingey Bites and founded by Fab Food 4 All and Fuss Free Flavours.
