Officials in Austria have gone public with fears that the terror group ISIS may be finding a new wave of recruits among its teenaged girls after a number of girls have run away from home intending to join ISIS forces in Iraq or Syria. Unfortunately, Austria isn't alone teens are fleeing countries all across the west to join jihadis.
Earlier this year, two teenaged Austrian girls ran off to Syria and soon began posting photos of themselves on their social media accounts toting AK47s, wearing burkas and sporting ISIS regalia. Others have since attempted to run away and join these girls sparking fears among officials that the girls are fostering a sickening trend of wannabe terrorist runaways.
Thanks to their social media updates, Samra Kesinovic, 16 and her friend Sabina Selimovic, 15, have become minor celebrities among many teens in Austria's Muslim minority community after the two ran away from their homes in Austria and ended up hanging around ISIS in Syria.
This month authorities announced that they apprehended two more teen girls who were trying to find passage through Turkey and into Syria to join the ISIS jihad movement.

Muslim 'Cleric' Jokes About 9/11, Other Terror Attacks on CNN

Supposed Muslim "cleric" Anjam Choudary, a man who is often seen on TV as the leading voice of Muslims in Britain, thought it would be hilarious to make a joke about 9/11 and other famous terror attacks on CNN on Tuesday.
On September 2 Choudary was doing a sound check for the TV engineers before appearing on CNN's "Reliable Sources" when he stopped counting in the normal, sequential way and began to say the numbers 9/11, 7/7, 3/11—all well known as dates of deadly terror attacks in the west.
When they finally got on the air, host Brian Stelter asked Choudary, "Is this all some sort of joke to you?"

This Attack on Me Reveals the Dark Hate in the Hearts of All Liberals

Here is my favorite attack on me ever, one that reveals the inhumanity and dark hatred in the hearts of all liberals. The comment below appeared in the comments section of a liberal website called The Raw Story.
The Raw Story posting was talking about one of my articles and this comment appeared in the comments section:
"Huston, with his noxious views and ugly personality, can make even so utterly offensive a person as Elliot Rodger, seem human…◔_◔"
Now, you may recall that Elliot Rodgers, the son of a good Hollywood liberal who is in the movie business, was the scumbag liberal punk and who murdered six people in California because he was upset that when he went to college he wasn't able to have sex every night.
So, remembering who Elliot Rodgers is, to these liberals me being a conservative who might not be the fun guy at a party is WORSE than a guy who committed mass murder. They hate conservatives and others with whom they disagree on politics SO much that they deem them to be worse than mass murderers.
This is why liberals are evil. ALL OF THEM.

Are The Religious More Tolerant Than Social Scientists?

A new book by science writer Nicholas Wade seeks to explore the possible connection between evolution and race but in a recent op ed the author points out that in some ways religious people have become more tolerant than those social scientists who think of themselves as being warriors against racism and ignorance.
The book, A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History, is being attacked by those Ivory Tower profs in the social sciences. But with this attack they have proven themselves to have essentially become anti-intellectual and anti-science as the genome project expands humanity's knowledge about the building blocks of our biology.
In a June 22 Wall Street Journal op ed, Mr. Wade seeks to expose the ignoramuses in the so-called social sciences.

Dear America, a father is needed.
He should be strong of will, stout of heart, and serious in demeanor. He must love without being effusive. And above all he must lead by example. He must have a soft spot for his daughters and tough hand with his sons. He must love his wife and family more than his own comforts because he understands that the duties he accepted are more important than momentary amusements.
We want a man that will growl when their sons step out of line, the kind of fellows young boys don't want to cross not necessarily out of fear, but because they are loath to disappoint the old man. Give us a man who will happily show his gun collection to his daughter's first boy friend. Let us have the man who those boyfriends can't imagine calling anything other than "sir."
Unfortunately, he is exactly the sort of man that liberals have targeted for elimination. Liberals hate words like maturity, protectiveness, patriarchy, and manliness.

Muslims Demand Des Plaines Library Muzzle Anti-Terror Group Meetings

A group dedicated to warning America about the evils of radical Islamists and the growing wave of terror they commit is coming under fire in Des Plaines. The group meets at the city's public library but now several Muslim groups are seeking to have government quash the anti-terror group's right to use the public facility.
The group, ACT! For America, has been meeting at the Des Plaines, Illinois public library for months, but as they gear up to offer a screening of a film that warns of radical Islamism, several Muslim groups have started to illicitly call for the public library to ban the group.
ACT!'s local leader, Sara Schmidt, insists that their group is not about hate but is instead about informing the public of the dangers.
The DesPlaines Journal & Topics reports that Schmidt said, "We just simply try to educate the public about these terrible things going on around the world because of these militants."

A Broward County, Florida public school teacher sought to ban an elementary school student from reading the Bible or any religious book during an independent reading time where kids are required to pick their own books to read.
The teacher, an African American teacher named Mrs. Thomas, called the parents of fifth-grade Park Lakes Elementary School student Giovanni Rubeo demanding that they agree with her that religious books are banned from public schools and hinting that they need to punish their child.
This teacher also made a big show out of scolding the child in the classroom, too. When she saw that the child was reading the Bible she made him put the book down on the desk right there in the classroom and then immediately demanded he get his parents on the phone.
This teacher's actions were obviously meant as a warning to the other kids, too.
When the teacher called the parents she left a message:

Brandeis University Now Supporting Terrorism and Female Mutilation

Brandeis University withdrew its offer of an honorary degree to women's rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali this month, sparking criticism for bowing to anti-American pressure brought against the university by Muslim groups.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a well known women's rights advocate who has been fighting against the excesses of radical Islam were its constant violation concerns women's rights and specifically against the brutal, inhuman practice of ritual female mutilation.
These are very worthy activities to celebrate and apparently Brandeis thought so, too… at least for a while. That is, until Muslims who celebrate the mutilation and oppression of women objected to the offer of the honorary degree to Miss Ali and demanded that the university withdraw its offer.
Sadly, 85 of the universities ignorant "professors" agreed with the mutilators and signed a petition demanding that their employers remove Ali from the honorary list.
In its reversal, the university said of Ali, "She is a compelling public figure and advocate for women's rights, and we respect and appreciate her work to protect and defend the rights of women and girls throughout the world. That said, we cannot overlook certain of her past statements that are inconsistent with Brandeis University's core values."

Principled Conservative vs Platform Republican? What's the Difference?
-By Warner Todd Huston
In a recent op ed at the Illinois Review Terri Koyne, the Republican Chairman for Macoupin County, tried to explain the difference between a conservative and a "platform Republican." I sort of understood her point but found the piece to be a bit muddled not to mention historically limited.
Like many of the center right side of the political aisle, Koyne is struggling with reconciling a vote for today's Republican Party and sticking with true conservative principles. The problem is, voting Republican is not always voting for conservative ideas.
"When someone used to say they were a conservative," Koyne said "it meant the whole package–socially and fiscally."
I understand what she is trying to get at, but this isn't exactly true. After all in the 30s, 40s, and 50s a "conservative" had precisely nothing at all to do with "social issues."

During the public comment time at the Dearborn city council meeting, a Muslim stood to demand that the city institute sharia patrols to keep young people out of parks and to prevent the sale of "offensive" magazines in stores.
The man named Hassan took his place in line during the public comments and when it was his turn to speak he prefaced his comments with loud chanting of Islamic prayers. He then went on to demand that the city begin patrols of the parks because people used them for "sexual activities."
The Muslim would not tell the council where he lived claiming he feared for the safety of his family but said he lived near Westland.

Allowing Unions to Organize Volkswagen is Like 'Injecting Cancer' Into US Auto Industry

It seems like a foolish move by Volkswagen for allowing the United Auto Workers (UAW) to organize its American plants. Not only did the UAW screw Volkswagen in the past, but even now the union admits that it is raising union dues solely to replenish its strike fund so unionistas can walk out. It's like Volkswagen is buying its own rope for its execution.
Or, as Steve Moore of The Wall Street Journal says, "it's like inserting a cancer cell into a body."
That is how Journal editorial board member Moore characterized the act of allowing the UAW to organize Volkswagen's American auto plants. "That one cancer cell is going to multiply and kill the body. It's a disruptive influence," he continued.
Worse, the UAW wants to raise dues for members for the expressed reason of filling strike fund coffers, this according to UAW Boss Bob King.
So, if Volkswagen gives in to the UAW's demands it will only be helping the union to walk out at the earliest opportunity.

Pot was legalized on January 1 and only a day later, on Wednesday January 2, a little child was rushed to the hospital after her mother, Aida Hernandez, observed her daughter acting like she was drunk.
Aida Hernandez her her 2-year-old daughter Evelyn.
"She was asleep, she was opening and closing her eyes and she couldn't walk really well. She was weak," Hernandez told Colorado's CBS affiliate.

Welsa lamented that when Obama was elected in 2008 there was "hope in the world" that "Obama would reclaim moral leadership for America," but Obama "failed."

Five Houston, Texas school bus drivers have been disciplined for supposedly "misusing school equipment" by using bus radios to pray for a co-worker whose daughter was killed by a car as she walked to school.
The five Houston Independent School District bus drivers had "disciplinary letters" placed in their employment files for using a back channel to pray together after another driver's 12-year-old daughter was run down while walking home from school on December 16, the media reported.
In response to this unfair disciplinary action, several drivers, their union representatives, and local ministers gathered in front of the Houston schools administration building to publicly protest the move and also to publicly pray for a resolution to the situation.

To flack its December 28 article titled, "'Duck Dynasty' debacle winners and losers," by television critic, Joanne Ostrow, the Post threw up a blurb on Facebook saying that A&E "welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson" back to the show.
"The feathers are no longer flying," the Facebook blurb reads. "For now, the "Duck Dynasty" debacle is settled. The network, A&E, has welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson back into the fold. So who were the winners and losers in this sad episode?"
Many of the comments on the Facebook page take the Post to task for its extreme bias.

Here is the nonsense that the media creates with its untrue "reporting" of the "news." A gay teen in Louisiana now claims that because of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, he has been made to feel "unsafe" living as a gay person in Louisiana.
This from a "closeted" gay student in West Monroe, Louisiana who wrote an essay saying how unsafe he feels because of what Robertson said about gays.
After an interview with Robertson went viral, the old media establishment went wild calling his comments "hate speech," and "anti-gay" and ramping up pressure on the A&E cable network to fire him from his reality show. All this unfair reporting filled with lies impacted this student in a negative way–as one might expect.

Gay groups don't care about gay slurs. They care about liberalism. So, when a liberal utters a gay slur it is brushed off as unimportant. But if a conservative seems to say something bad about gays, why, it is the end of the world. That is the case here with the recent condemnation that the gay group GLAAD doled out to Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson.
The gay group GLAAD came out to excoriate Phil Robertson of A&E's reality TV hit Duck Dynasty for his comments about gays in a hostile interview in the upcoming issue of GQ magazine.
As soon as the interview became public knowledge, GLAAD ran to Entertainment Weekly which posted the complaint in a piece with the lie-filled title, "'Duck Dynasty' star makes anti-gay comments; GLAAD slams."
In the interview Robertson laid out the typical, Christian, Bible-based ideas about homosexuality and in fact just paraphrased Corinthians in his comments that homosexuality is wrong but that he still loves gays as human beings.
Before we get to GLAAD's complaint, here is what Robertson said in the GQ interview:

It could be, it might be, it… isn't religious, but the fearful authorities at a Minnesota school thought that a skeleton carton on a kid's Christmas poster was "religious" and should be taken down.
The poster featured the cartoon character Jack Skellington from the Tim Burton movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" but this didn't stop the absurd authorities at the PACT Charter school in Ramsey, Minnesota from taking it down for fear of "religious" themes.
The civil rights advocacy group The Rutherford Institute has taken up the cause and sent a letter to the school warning them of their folly.

During SNL's Weekend Update segment, troupe member Kenan Thompson starred as a black Santa Klaus that riffed on some well-worn and prosaic themes. But even with the same 'ol, same 'ol racism topics, the segment did have a few funny lines.
When Weekend Update's faux anchor Cecily Strong asked Thompson's "Santa" if he was OK with people thinking that he was really white, Thompson said, "Well, a white guys taking credit for something a black guy did? I'm more used to it than okay with it."

One of the biggest solutions reformers have to fix our failing schools is to give parents vouchers that can be used to send kids to the parent's choice of schools. But one union-backing school superintendent in North Carolina is so against any solutions outside those offered by unions that she is going to the absurd extreme of saying that vouchers would be used to "train terrorists."
That's right. If you support giving parents a better choice for their children's education, then you are a supporter of terrorism.
North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson says of the voucher legislation, "There is nothing in the legislation that would prevent someone from establishing a school of terror."
Really? That is her concern? Where did this come from, you might wonder? Why, she's attacking Christian schools, of course.

The Chipley, Florida nativity scene.
A reporter for a small Florida newspaper decided that he wanted to see if he could get the city of Chipley to remove its nativity scene from public property because he claims it is somehow against the US Constitution. There is that unbiased media we are so in love with, eh?
"Reporter" Randal Seyler of the Washington County News decided to try and use his position in the media to destroy a community nativity scene when he noticed that the decoration was put up at city hall.
This biased, troublemaker ran to city hall and warned them he was going to start causing problems for the city if they didn't remove the nativity scene.
Chipley Mayor Linda Cain was not interested in Seyler's anti-Christmas crusade, though, so he ran to a militant atheist group that loves to file frivolous lawsuits against cities all across America.

"If you are a white male, you don't deserve to live. You are a cancer, you're a disease, white males have never contributed anything positive to the world! They only murder, exploit and oppress non-whites! At least a white woman can have sex with a black man and make a brown baby but what can a white male do? He's good for nothing. Slavery, genocides against aboriginal peoples and massive land confiscation, the inquisition, the holocaust, white males are all to blame!

England's Staffordshire University.
British citizens are up in arms at a British primary school that has threatened to label kids as "racists" for years on their public school record if they refuse to attend a field trip meant to push Islam on kids. This is a sick example of multiculturalism by force, apparently.
Lynn Small, headmistress at Littleton Green Community School in Huntington, Staffordshire UK, sent a letter home with kids informing parents that if their kids were withheld from a special workshop meant to push Islam a "racial discrimination note" would be attached to their permanent school record and they'd be branded racists for years to come.
Letter sent home to parents. (Click to see larger)
The kids are in what we would call a grade school here in the USA in a school that serves kids from 8-years to 11.
The headmistress' letter says the field trip is part of a "statutory requirement" for kids "to learn about different cultures."

The U.S.Post Office Holiday Stamps Flier
A new print ad for the U.S. Post office reminding customers about its wonderful new holiday stamps seems to be missing the "Christmas" part of the holidays. The ad features a Hanukkah menorah stamp, a Kwanzaa stamp and that wonderful standby Christian stamp… the gingerbread house. Yes, the Post Office just excluded Christmas in its ad.
The advertisement is a mailer sent to American's homes to remind them of the holiday stamps offered by the U.S. Post Office.
As is clearly seen, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is celebrated by a stamp. So is the fake African American "holiday," Kwanzaa. But instead of Christmas being celebrated, we get a gingerbread house. Where is Christmas?
As the wags at Twitchy noted, "One of these USPS holiday stamps is not like the others."

Atheists Force School to Cancel Christmas Toy Drive Because: Religion

A school in South Carolina has been forced to cancel its annual toy collection drive for the charity Operation Christmas Child by atheists who claim that the event is "religious" and therefore should not be allowed.
For the past three years East Point Academy in West Columbia, S.C., has been participating in the toy drive for needy children. But this year the school has had to cancel their participation because an atheist group sent a letter to the school threatening to sue over the false "separation of church and state" issue.
School principal, Renee Mathews, is flabbergasted by the absurd letter saying that the only "religious" part of the toy drive is the word "Christmas" in its title. Otherwise there is not a single mention of religion in anything concerning the event. It's just a toy drive for needy kids.

Oprah Says You Racists Have to Die For Country to Love Obama

In a recent interview Oprah Winfrey said that the only reason someone wouldn't like President Obama is because they are racists and then said that to fix the country all you white, racists will just have to die.
Winfrey was exhaling her hot air with the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) where she was on a trip to hawk her a-historial film The Butler.
The nearly 60-year-old former hit talk show host proved once again that she doesn't know what the word "racist" means and, like all religionist Obama supporters, claimed that race is the only possible reason why people would be against the worst, most anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Constitution, pro-communist president in American history.
Oprah was asked if people were against Obama because of the color of his skin, Oprah said, "There's no question."
"I think there's a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases … because he's African American. There's no question about that. And it's the kind of thing no one ever says, but everybody's thinking," she bleated.
No one says? Has she not paid attention to MSNBC and the race hustlers like Al $harpton and Je$$e Jack$on? Has she not heard one celebutard after another say day in and day out that the only reason people oppose Obama is because they are evil, white racists??
Her blather continued. "As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problem's not solved," she said.
"There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die."
See that, whities? You'll all just have to die.
It is interesting that Winfrey still acts as if the whole of the USA is "marinated" in racism. After all, she grew up mostly in the post Jim Crow era. Oprah had every educational opportunity, she became a figure much beloved as much by whites as by blacks, and became a multi-billionaire who attained the sort of fame that anyone would love to have. Where is all the "racism" that kept Oprah Winfrey down?
But the biggest point here is that contrary to the racebaiting industry in the United States, "racism" is not solely defined as whites hating blacks. Racism knows no boundaries.
Racism is a human condition and is exemplified in Japanese people looking down on other Asians. It is exemplified by dark-skinned blacks hating light-skinned blacks–and vice versa. It is seen in the hate Greeks have for non-Greeks, or the hate some have for Hispanics, or the hate American Indians have for white people, or the hate… well, you get the point. The fact is, racism exists in every corner of the world and has since man developed language and social communities. It isn't solely a hate that white Americans have for blacks as people like Winfrey say it is.
But, I'll tell you what, Oprah. You go ahead and give back the billions of dollars that millions of white Americans willingly gave you for your products, books, and TV shows. I mean, why would you want to have racists as fans?
OK, there is my rant for the day.

Texas High Schoolers Blast Christian Speaker's 'Sexist' Dating Advice

A faith-based relationship advisor met with resistance from teens in a Dallas, Texas high school after speaking there on Nov. 13. Some of the girls were upset that the speaker offered traditional advice about gender roles. The advice, the kids said, was "sexist."
Justin Lookadoo has been a motivational speaker and relationship advice writer for years and, according to him at least, never faced this sort of criticism. But girls at Richardson High School in Dallas attacked him on Twitter during his presentation and in person after he was done.
One teen critic of the speaker Tweeted, "Why did you tell girls to get out of abusive relationships instead of telling guys not to be abusive in the first place?"

Shocking Video: 'Normal' Muslims Supporting 'Punishments in the Koran' Like Stoning for Gays, Adulterers
November 7, 2013 | Filed Under Anti-Americanism, Crime, Islam, Islamofascism, Koran, Liberals, PCism, Progressives, Religion, Sharia, Society/Culture, Terrorism, Warner Todd Huston, Western Civilization | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
A new video shows purportedly "normal" Muslims–those who are supposedly not radicalized–agreeing that all the extreme punishments prescribed by the Koran are perfectly right and good. The crowd of Muslims in the video seen below is shown voting in favor of punishments such as the stoning of gays and adulterers.
Now, many on the left claim that we cannot blame "all Muslims" for Islamic-based terrorism and we must not assume all Muslims believe in the ancient, extreme, backwards things in the Koran. They say that "most" Muslims are normal folks that are "just like us." On the other hand, others say that Islam is Islam, radicalized or not, and there isn't any difference between the worst Muslim terrorist and any other Muslim. This video doesn't help the left's argument much.
The video was taken at a Norwegian Islamic conference in March of this year and was first made public by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) in May. MEMRI is a group that translates into English Muslim news broadcast or printed in foreign languages so that American audiences can see what Muslims say when they aren't trying to fool us in our own language.

FDA Approves Letrozole for Treatment of Early-Stage
Breast Cancer
The FDA last week approved letrozole (Femara) for extended adjuvant treatment of early-stage breast cancer in postmenopausal women treated with tamoxifen for 5 years. The FDA gave the okay for letrozole under an "accelerated approval," requiring the drug's manufacturer, Novartis, to conduct and provide data to the FDA on long-term outcomes.
The approval was based on results from the MA-17 trial, a double-blind, multicenter, international clinical study involving nearly 5,200 postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer who had received 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy. All of the participants were within 3 months of completion of adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen and were randomly assigned to receive 5 years of letrozole or placebo. The Canadian Cancer Society funded MA-17, which was coordinated by the National Cancer Institute of Canada in partnership with the NCI Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups.
An updated analysis of data from MA-17 - originally published in November 2003 - was presented at ASCO's annual meeting in June. With a median follow-up of 2.5 years, letrozole reduced local and distant recurrences of cancer and new breast cancers, regardless of a patient's node-positive or -negative status at diagnosis. Distant metastases were reduced by about 40 percent compared with placebo, while overall survival was improved by 39 percent for node-positive patients.

Does more technology decrease a person's ability?
Although we have unlimited information available instantly, can communicate instantly, create products with less labor at higher tolerances. It appears that people have less ability to focus and handle real world problems?

Apr 6 2012: I think the only abilities we need to have in ourselves is imagination, and the skills to use the tools we create. We are not using stones and sticks anymore. We now create tools with tools, inheriting older technologies as we go. As long as we can use these tools, and keep creating better ones, we should be fine.
Apr 7 2012: You are right about communication being our primary tool. Without it we are nothing.
Take a look at how fast we adapted to technological changes. Mobile devices are about a decade old and already they have changed us drastically. But technology is changing just as fast. We are not locked in to the devices we have now. We will quickly adapt to newer technologies that will fit our communicative functions.
The devices that have changed us are still new. Possibly these changes can be a guideline for future innovation. We see the problem, now is time to develop solutions.

HoopsHype Tayshaun Prince rumors
"He always spoke his mind, especially when Larry Brown was our coach," Prince said. "Coach would always ask Lindsey ... whether Coach Brown thought it was the right idea or the wrong idea, he just wanted to hear it from his perspective because Lindsey got so much knowledge. He played the game that long and had been through so many things." Detroit Free Press
Could there come a day where Prince could go to Dumars' office and ask out, later in his career? Of course, but not anytime soon, he said. "One day it might hit me. I might get in a position where it's time for me to win one more (championship)," Prince said. "To go to a contender-type team. I might go to Joe that day and say 'it's time for me to move on' and play that route but now is not the time." Detroit News
And rumors. And more questions and rumors for a six-week period, until the trade deadline in late February. He's so used to it, it almost feels like he has been traded, although he's never gotten that call from Bill Duffy, his agent, or Pistons president Joe Dumars, the man who drafted him more than a decade ago. "Look at Corey Maggette, they probably feel like I feel and I haven't been traded," said Prince of his teammate, who's been traded five times since 1999. "They're like, 'I know what time it is, I know the situation', and I feel the same way because I've been through this in the last five years. It's a 'been there done that' thing." Detroit News
Instead of getting upset when the questions come, Prince, who has been surly during his time in Detroit, displays a different side — amusement. "The reason why I'm always positive and upbeat is because around the same time all the time, people always ask me and expect the answer to change and it's not," Prince said. "The first time I was on the trading block it was my sixth or seventh year, and you asked me that, my answer might be different. I was a younger player, I would've been like 'trade me, you can't come tell me?' I didn't know the nature of the business about rumors." Detroit News
Nevertheless, Prince is assured the Pistons won't field trade offers for him, and the two sides have "never" discussed dealing Prince, agent Bill Duffy told RealGM. RealGM
"I know there are a lot of contending teams that I can help," Prince told RealGM. "But right now, this is the team I have to help. Everybody wants to be in the position where they have a chance of winning a championship every year, but obviously it doesn't work that way." RealGM
Prince's face when queried about it — one of surprise — told his thoughts. "This time around, playing more consistent in the fourth quarter, that's the thing," he said. "We have to do a better job of executing. If we can do that, it'll be a tremendous step from last season." "I didn't even know that before today it was the same record. But it's tough to swallow. You want to improve, you want it to show in the (win) column but it's not showing and we have to do something about it. It's tough but we have to get through it." Detroit News
But Tayshaun Prince openly wondered afterward why Frank didn't respond quicker with substitutions when it was obvious Prince and the rest of the starting five didn't have it. "If I was coach, I would have made the decision sooner than what he did," Prince said in the Amway Center visitors' locker room. Know what I mean? Detroit Free Press
Even though the small forward position is crowded with Tayshaun Prince and Corey Maggette, it'll be hard to keep Singler on the bench because of his ability to hit threes and his basketball IQ. "He makes us more athletic," Pistons big man Greg Monroe said. "He's a smart player." Singler said: "I'm here getting to know my teammates." Detroit Free Press
Pistons veteran small forward Tayshaun Prince dropped by the NBATV studio in Atlanta this week to provide analysis for the NBA playoffs. But first he had to answer the No. 1 question for national analysts when it comes to the Pistons: Was this the final season for his longtime teammate Ben Wallace? Prince didn't break any news but provided some insight. "I think it is a situation where he is still thinking about it," Prince said. "One side is telling him it is time to spend time with the family and relax a little bit, and then the other side is saying I still have more left in the tank." Detroit Free Press
As he walked out of the Pistons' locker room Thursday night following the season-ending victory over the 76ers, Prince first spoke of the need for an inside presence. Then, he offered an interesting observation. "Brandon Knight is our starting point guard and will continue to be, but hopefully we can get a veteran point guard to kind of mentor him a little bit," Prince said. "There can be times that me and Ben Wallace can mentor and help him out and whatnot, but I think if you have a point guard that's been through the wars, he can help him out a little bit better than we can." Detroit Free Press
Jeff Zillgitt: Pistons took calls (Tayshaun Prince, Rodney Stuckey, Austin Daye) & made calls but person w/knowledge says deal unlikely at trade deadline. Twitter
Tayshaun Prince admitted Monday he wishes he would have handled some things differently under former Pistons coach John Kuester. He also wishes he could take back some situations under former coaches Rick Carlisle, Larry Brown and Flip Saunders. He was making the point that while he has some regrets when it comes to the previous two seasons under Kuester, who returns to the Palace tonight as an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers, the competitive nature of players makes it hard to be level-headed when they are in the moment. Detroit Free Press
"Everybody wishes they would have done something different," Prince said. "Not just going on when Kuester was the coach, but what was going on when everybody was our coach. "You always did something and said, 'Man, I wish I would have did something differently.' Even with the one good year I had with Carlisle, the two good years I had with Larry, the three good years I had with Flip. Those years I had times where I wish I could have done something different." Detroit Free Press
Vincent Goodwill: #Pistons Tayshaun Prince on the effort tonight: "Still on vacation." From the creator of #Buffoonery Twitter
But it's not a place he's looking to abandon. He agreed to a four-year, $28 million deal rather than go home to play for one of the teams in Los Angeles — or someplace else. "I am not the type of person who will run away when something is not good," said Prince, a 10-year NBA veteran who turns 32 this month. "Things are not looking too well with what has happened the last few years, and I read all those articles that said I was not going to be here. "It crossed my mind, but at the same time, from Day 1, this has had special memories and has been a special place." Detroit News
He vows, however, this team will win again — under his watch. "You can never be in a position to say what if I did this or did that after the fact because you will always second-guess yourself," Prince said. "Now that I find myself in this position, the most important thing is to find a way to get ourselves out of it. "Did I expect to struggle early? No question. We have a new coaching staff and we have people playing bigger roles. Yeah, I understand that but I never thought we would be playing so up and down during the first 20 something games. That is the part that is so disappointing to me. I expected to build off the last couple of years and move forward." Detroit News
Pistons president Joe Dumars said he brought back Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey because they are important parts of the Pistons' rebuilding process. "Those are assets. Rebuilding is not about letting assets walk," Dumars said Wednesday night on 971 The Ticket. "Stuckey is 24 or 25 (he's 25). He's a young guy and part of the rebuilding process. Tayshaun Prince, when you look at rebuilding, there is always going to be one veteran you have going forward with young guys." Detroit News

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–7–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Bombers go with Kyle Walters as assistant GM, director of scouting
Winnipeg Blue Bombers general manager Joe Mack says a continent-wide search for a new assistant GM determined the best man was already working in the Bombers offices.
Mack told reporters during a conference call Wednesday afternoon that the club considered 16-18 candidates from across North America for its vacant assistant GM job before deciding to promote special teams coach Kyle Walters to the position.
"A lot of people had extensive experience in pro football in the CFL and the NFL, to be quite frank," said Mack. "But with Kyle, he's been in the league for three years (and) it's a huge positive he's played in the league and been captain of a team.
"And (the fact) he's been a head coach of CIS program just added to his overall value."
It's known that the Bombers also pursued TSN analyst -- and widely respected Canadian "draftologist" -- Duane Forde to take the assistant-GM job. But the Free Press reported last month that the Bombers balked at Forde's salary demands and decided to hire Walters instead at the urging of Mack.
Mack said he intends to involve Walters in all aspects of the Bombers front office, from draft research to negotiating with agents -- the Bombers potentially have 12 free agents this winter and will also likely be a buyer in the free agent market.
Walters does have some experience negotiating contracts -- he acted as his own agent during his playing career.
But asked if he will be grooming Walters to be his own successor, Mack hedged. "I think any good organization ought to be conscious of a success plan. Our intention is certainly for Kyle to grow in the position and be a candidate if that does occur."
Mack said that the final say on all decisions -- including on draft day -- will remain his. "Although everyone will be involved in the process... it will always be the general manager's final decision when it comes to personnel."
Walters replaces longtime former assistant-GM Ross Hodgkinson, who was sacked last month.
Walters -- who had a seven-year CFL career as a defensive back in Hamilton -- joined the Bombers in 2010 after four years as head coach of the Guelph Gryphons of the CIS.
In 2011, he added duties as the Bombers Canadian College Draft Coordinator and on Wednesday added the title of Director of Canadian Scouting to his new assistant-GM title.
"I'm excited to get going," said Walters. "From a Canadian draft standpoint, I'm just planning on building on what we've already been doing the last couple years.
"Instead of spending four to six weeks after the season trying to cram everything in...I'm excited at the opportunity to get out more during the season and be less focussed on coaching and more being able to be at the schools and see practices and kind of spread the workload out throughout the entire year."
Walters was part of the decision-making that went into some very successful recent Bombers draft picks, most notably offensive lineman Chris Greaves and middle linebacker Henoc Muamba. But Walters was also in the room when the club used their fourth overall and third overall selections the last two years respectively to pick receiver Jade Etienne -- who's got one catch in two years -- and offensive lineman Tyson Pencer -- who has yet to play a down in the regular season because of a recurring shoulder problem.
Mack said he still holds out high hopes for both Etienne and Pencer. Walters says his grading of all eight CFL teams' performance in recent drafts has the Bombers at or near the top.
Walters, 39, is married with two children. The family resides year-round in Winnipeg.
Mack said he has already had preliminary discussions with head coach Tim Burke about hiring a new special teams coach, but said that decision won't likely be made until the New Year.

PLAYERS: Brennan Boesch, Lyle Overbay, Vernon Wells, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki, Ben Francisco
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees
Photo credit: bleacherreport.com Prior to tonight's game against the Cleveland Indians, Brennan Boesch was seen working with Manager Joe Girardi and coach Mick Kelleher at first base, according to Mark Feinsand of the Daily News. Boesch, 27, a career outfielder, has never played at first base, even in the minor leagues. He did play some first at Cal Berkeley before switching to the outfield. With Lyle Overbay, 36, currently hitting .174 (with 4 RBIs) the Yankees may be growing impatient about the complete lack of production. Known as a defensive whiz at first, Overbay has made some questionable decisions in the field. Yesterday he ranged too far to his right as a ground ball went off of his glove, continuing an inning for the Indians. Boesch is hitting .182, but he has looked better at the plate than Overbay. In Detroit, if it weren't for the gusting winds, Boesch would have hit a mammoth home run to right field; instead he settled for a triple. Boesch has a serious power bat, and would most definitely do some damage in Yankee Stadium. However, with Vernon Wells, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki and Ben Francisco on the roster, at bats have been few and far between for the lefty Boesch thus far. Maybe first base is an avenue the Yankees can take to get his bat into the order more often? With the obvious lack of experience at first, the Yankees are unlikely to throw him directly into the fire. This very well may be just an experimental thing just to see how Boesch takes to it. But, if Overbay continues his ineptitude at the plate and in the field, the Yankees may be forced to make a change.

Texas energy goes with the windWritten by James Rambin | Published June 17, 2014
Texas' wind power production is gaining strength. Earlier this spring, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas announced a new record for wind power generation in our state.

What exactly are May Term and Summer Study Experiences?
May Term Study Experiences (MTSE) and Summer Study Experiences are Westminster classes that include an educational travel component (within or outside of the USA) ranging from approximately one to three weeks either during May Term or Summer Semester. Westminster faculty and staff serve plan the itineraries and serve as Study Experience Leaders.
How many credits do I take during a May Term or Summer Study Experience?
All MTSE and Summer Study Experience classes are 4 credits.
Do I have to be in that major to take a class?
NO. If you are a math major who always loved Jane Austen novels, then take the class! The is the time to explore everything that might interest you, even if it's not in your normal routine.
Who can participate?
Currently enrolled Westminster undergraduate students get priority to paricipate in MTSEs and Summer Study Experiences. Non-student guests who are over 18 years old can participate if space is available and the faculty leader gives permission. Non-student participants do not earn credits or pay tuition, but they must pay the full advertised cost which does not include tuition.
What kind of MTSE and Summer Study Experiences are offered?
All of the classes are elective type, but many can fulfill upper division elective requirements. Up to ten MTSEs are offered each May and beginning in Summer 2014 Westminster will be offering Summer Study Experiences. Because they are proposed by the faculty, the offerings typically change every year with the exception of the Thailand Service Learning and Hopi Navajo Program which have been offered annually for the past several years.
How much does it cost to participate?
Travel expenses vary depending upon destination and the length of stay. MTSEs within the US typically cost $800-$3000, while programs to other countries cost anywhere from just over $3,000 to $5,000. This money goes toward plane tickets, transportation, lodging, and activities (such as museums, etc.). Also, all students must show proof of domestic health insurance if they are participating in a Study Experience. If you were a full-time student in Fall and Spring, then you will have earned the four hours that can be applied towards MTSE or Summer Study Experience tuition and you will only pay the travel expenses.
What is the registration process?
Registration for MTSEs and Summer Study Experiences is first-come, first-served and begins at the May Term Fair held each year in October. Registration for these Study Experiences is not based on seniority or credits earned. Students must pay a non-refundable $300 deposit (which gets applied towards the total travel costs), get approval and a signature from one of the faculty or staff leaders, complete the registration form and return it to the Diversity & International Center in Walker One. Once the Diversity & International Center has received a completed form including verification that the deposit was paid, a spot will be reserved. Registration for on-campus May Term classes begins in February.
What is the refund policy?
The $300 deposit is due at the time of registration. It is non-refundable and non-transferable (cannot be transferred to another person or another Study Experience). In the event of a withdrawal past the January 15th payment deadline, the $300 deposit plus any non-recoverable trip expenses are non-refundable. Standard Westminster College refund policies are in effect for MTSE and Summer tuition charges.
Do Study Experiences ever get cancelled?
Westminster College will cancel a MTSE or Summer Study Experience if the minimum number of students do not enroll by the registration deadline in January. Deposits are refunded if Westminster cancels the Study Experience due to insufficient enrollment. The College also monitors all international destinations and itineraries for health and safety considerations and may cancel a Study Experience at any point due to circumstances outside of the College's control. The health and safety of participants is the top priority of Westminster College in making cancellation decisions.
For more information about May Term, prospective students should contact the Admissions Office.
Current students interested in on-campus May Term classes should contact the Registrar's Office.
Information about upcoming 2014 May Term Study Experiences is available here.
