BRONCOS vs RAIDERS
You could win the lottery today, and the Raiders could win this game. But it's very very unlikely. The Broncos would like to cinch home field advantage and the only thing standing in the way is the black and grey. The Raiders are going back to Terrell Pryor in this one in an effort to make this funnier. I do appreciate their dedication to comedy.
BUCCANEERS vs SAINTS
Here's another game where one team (Bucs) knows the season is over and the other team (Saints) needs to win to get in the playoff picture. The Saints have had some inconstant moments over the last few weeks and I still think Greg Schiano is a rube, but they have something to play for here. At least the Bucs get a nice trip to New Orleans instead of having to finish the year in Florida's arm pit.
The Saints set up a dramatic first round playoff loss.
PACKERS vs BEARS
Everyone and I mean literally everyone is picking the Pack in this one. Aaron Rodgers is back and since he single handedly carries his team that's it they have it wrapped up. But wait, on the other team we have Jay Cutler QB of a team that refuses to admit how much better they were when the back up was playing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Green Bay is better with their starter and Chicago is better with their backup. Both starters are starting.
I'll join the pack picking the Pack.
BILLS vs PATRIOTS
The Patriots general rotate the Bills and the Dolphins as their final two games of the season. Such exciting nail biters at the end of the schedule for the NFL's darlings. However the Pats have struggled and the Bills are on a bit of a hot streak. (Now when I say hot streak let's keep in mind im talking about the Jags and the Dolphons.) If Tom Brady loses this game he will be forced to go home and have sex with his supermodel wife before playing the Colts or Bengals.
I'd like to see the Bills win for the lulz.
RAMS vs SEAHAWKS
The Rams should be sending thank you cards to the Redskins. The skins traded away what they thought would be a mid to late first round pick last year to the Rams. The skins then spent all season trying to get that pick to #1 in the draft. I doubt the Rams beat the Seahawks but as a young team they put together a good season and hey they have the second pick in the draft.
CHIEFS vs CHARGERS
Many people say that the Chiefs have nothing to play for, but those people are wrong. Every game the Chiefs win is another victory in the fight to explain to people that Kansans City is in Missouri. Also you have to remember that old holiday saying "every time the Chiefs win Andy Reid eats a wing." That being said the Chiefs are going to rest a lot of starters here.
The chargers are the most bi-polar NFL team ever created and you never know who will show up. The Chargers know however that the Dolphins and Ravens losses today, paired with a win here, guarantees an opportunity to disappoint fans in the first round of the playoffs.
Chargers playoff dreams are realized so they can be crushed.
49ERS vs CARDINALS
The Cardinals can't just get into the playoffs with a win, some heart, and a pound of weed from the Honey Badger's dealer. The Cards also need the Saints to lose to the Buccaneers and nope I just don't see that happening. A Niner win today would secure another NFC West title and more glory for the city of San Fransisco, rice, and trolleys.
EAGLES vs COWBOYS
Yippe ki-yay Cowboys! A win here could get the Dallas Cowboys into the playoffs, and with Tony Romo injured his streak of playoff loses would be assured an ending no matter what. A win here might also save Jason Garrett's job as Cowboys head coach and delay Houston Nutt's rise to glory. For that reason alone I have to root for the Eagles.
Nutt for Cowboys!

2/5 An ok film, low budget british drama. Was probably a 3 part tv series on BBC or Ch4 at some point. Worth watching when you're stuck indoors in the day due to weather and don't fancy a massive US film.

What's Teen Read Week you ask? It's a super special event sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association every year during the third week of October.
From Oct. 18 to Oct. 24 this year, libraries across the U.S. will be encouraging teens to read just for the fun of it. As in, not for a book report, not for school, not because you have to!
With so many other ways to entertain yourself, chillin' out with a good book seems to have taken a back seat. But hey, it's free, it's fun, and a lot of studies show that teens who read for pleasure perform better on tests and they're far more interesting people. (Well, maybe that last part is just an opinion, but it seems to be true.)
Want to know how you can be a part of Teen Read Week? Here are 10 ways you can help celebrate:
10. Vote for the Teens' Top Ten RIGHT HERE! The Teens' Top Ten is a list of books nominated by 15 teen book groups from across the United States (CLICK HERE to see this year's nominees). The winners will be announced online during Teen Read Week. Voting starts Aug. 24 and ends Sept. 18. Help decide what this year's most popular books will be.
9. Ask your librarian (either your neighborhood library or at school) what she or he plans to do to celebrate Teen Read Week and see how you can help out.
8. If your librarian doesn't know anything about Teen Read Week, have he or she check out the Teen Read Week web site to find activity ideas and more.
7. See if you can get your entire school in on TRW. Check with your librarian about their plans, then see if your school would be willing to talk about Teen Read Week during morning announcements. YALSA even wrote a script you can use. CLICK HERE.
6. Get creative! Make a book trailer (a short vid about the book, kinda like a movie trailer) for your fave book. Post it to YouTube during Teen Read Week.
5. Join in! Ask if your library has a Teen Advisory Group, and then volunteer to be a part of it. You'll be able to help your library decide what events and programs they should have for teens.
3. Ask your parents to set aside time to take you to the library so you can find free things to read. Your parents will love you so much for saving money that they'll buy you those new jeans you want (a girl can dream, right?).
2. Encourage your friends to read. Join a book club at your library or start your own and meet during Teen Read Week. The 2009 Teen Read Week theme is Read Beyond Reality so consider a book with a fantasy or sci-fi theme.
1. Read! The best way to celebrate teen reading is to do it. Pick one of our books, pick up the latest manga or revisit the Twilight series for the 80th time.!
Ready to dive into some fabulous fall reads? Check out the amazing books in our Teen Read Week interactive book blog plus enter to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to TradeWinds Island Resorts! CLICK HERE!

Whiskey Flats RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Clean and lots of room on our site. Lots of places to walk dog, except for dog area which had some broken glass. Store was close. Good park for a day of rest from the trip. Once the trees get larger will be more shade. Store was well stocked. Will stay there again.
Phoenix, Oregon
Holiday RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
When we first pulled in, wondered what we were getting into. But first impression was wrong. Staff friendly and helpful. Site easy to get to. As it is older park, some sites could use an update. Park was quiet even if close to freeway. Enough space between sites. Lots of area to walk the dog. A first for us, the long term people were for the most part were maintaining their sites to a park like condition. Definitely will stay there again.
Reno, Nevada
Shamrock RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
A parking lot atmosphere. Pet unfriendly: Has a basic dog area but animals are limited to where they can go. $60 deposit was required to get cable. Will not stay here again. Worst place we stayed on whole trip.
Stanwood, Washington
Lake Goodwin Resort
[ 3/10 ]
Started out OK but the place is a zoo. kids and dogs running loose. Our dog was attacked by one of the residents dogs. Reported to office, nothing done or no one even asked about dog. No basic RV park etiquette honored, people walked through site. My impression was this is a homeless camp, but that would disrespect the homeless.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'Frozen' Heat Up the Box Office
In one of the biggest holiday weekends of all time, the combined might of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'Frozen' proved that yes, ladies can star in major blockbuster movies. We'll see if this lesson sticks (it won't), but between those two and the surprisingly female-friendly 'Thor: The Dark World,' this was a great weekend if you were looking for quality family entertainment that didn't treat its woman characters like crap.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Lights the Box Office on, Well, You Know
Everyone knew that 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' was going to do well this weekend, but the lingering question was always whether or not it was going to do "really, really well" or "stupidly, gobsmackingly well." We should know by now that you always bet on Katniss Everdeen defying the odds, because it was the latter and everyone made it look easy.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Best Man Holiday' Stands Toe-to-Toe With 'Thor: The Dark World'
If there's one thing that we're reminded of a few times a year here at the Weekend Box Office Report, it's that films targeted at black audiences are always ignored by many mainstream movie websites ... until they open huge at the box office. 'The Best Man Holiday' is the latest film to prove that there's an entire group of moviegoers who aren't being given the films they obviously want to see, and hopefully its success will spur Hollywood into action, allowing for the production of more movies with black casts and filmmakers. Maybe. This is Hollywood, after all.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Reviews: What Do the Critics Think of the Sequel?
The first batch of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' reviews are in, following the worldwide debut of the highly anticipated sequel starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson.
While the first film set the bar awfully high for the rest of the franchise -- telling a rich, brutal and exciting science-fiction story with genuine gravitas -- the sequel didn't always look like a sure thing. Original director Gary Ross dropped the project and the production was rushed to meet a release date, leaving many fans worried that the tale of Katniss Everdeen was in less than sure hands. But the first wave of critiques have washed ashore, and the verdict is ...
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Bad Grandpa' Dethrones 'Gravity' and 'The Counselor' Bombs
If you were wondering what it would take to finally shove 'Gravity' out of the number one spot at the box office, the answer is Johnny Knoxville as an elderly man with a foul mouth and penchant for sustaining groin injuries. After nearly a month at the top, Alfonso Cuaron's science fiction spectacle fell to number two, dethroned by 'Bad Grandpa.'
Weekend Box Office: 'Gravity' Dominates 'Carrie,' 'Escape Plan' and 'The Fifth Estate'
For the third weekend in a row, 'Gravity' dominated the box office, taking no prisoners in its quest to become one of 2013's most deserving blockbusters. However, its tremendous success has been at the expense of a handful of other films, which have been crushed in Alfonso Cuaron's titanic wake.
'Gravity' Has a Fascinating Short Film Companion Called 'Aningaaq'
Considering the massive box office success of 'Gravity' over the past two weeks, chances are strong that you've already seen director Alfonso Cuaron's stunning science fiction thriller. If so, the news of a companion short film that sheds light on one of the movie's most memorable scenes should have your attention.
Naturally, spoilers lurk below.
First Look: Woody Allen's Latest Titled 'Magic in the Moonlight,' Reveals Full Cast and Photos
Woody Allen has been hit and miss for the past decade or two, but between 'Midnight in Paris' and 'Blue Jasmine,' the legendary filmmaker seems to be hitting a new stride. So we have high hopes for hist latest production. We knew that it would star Emma Stone and Colin Firth, but now we know what it's going to be called. Drumroll, please ...
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Gravity' is Out of This World
When a movie is sold as being the next incredible cinematic experience that will change the way we watch movies, expectations are huge. Audiences may scoff. It could all backfire. But Alfonso Cuaron's 'Gravity' lived up to the hype and audiences responded in kind, giving it the biggest opening ever for a non-sequel October release.
Here's How You Can Be in 'Fast and Furious 7′
Dangerous car chases through heavily populated urban environments has always been a cornerstone of the wonderfully ludicrous 'Fast and Furious' series and the latest film is certainly not going to be an exception. Filming is currently underway on 'Fast and Furious 7' and the production is looking for some fans to fill out some key scenes.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Insidious Chapter 2′ Has a Terrifyingly Huge Opening
James Wan has done it again. For the second time this year, a horror film that he's directed has opened to over $40 million, securing his position as the reigning king of mainstream horror cinema. He may be taking a break from the genre to direct 'Fast and Furious 7,' but after the jaw-dropping success of 'The Conjuring' and now 'Insidious Chapter 2,' you just know he'll be back. No one is bringing the audiences in quite like Wan.
Oh, and there were some other movies that made some money, too.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'One Direction: This is Us' Takes the Lead
The summer is over and September is upon us. The result? One of the most boring weekend box office reports in months. Months! The month or so following the end of the summer movie season is traditionally one of the worst of the year, the time when Hollywood unleashes all of the films that they have little faith in, a buffer between the blockbuster months and the award season months. In other words, it's the exact kind of climate where a movie like 'One Direction: This is Us' can thrive.

Lorena Garcia's New Latin Classics
Fresh Ideas for Favorite Dishes
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreFrom Lorena Garcia, one of the country's most popular Latina chefs and the co-star of NBC's America's Next Great Restaurant, comes a must-have cookbook for anyone who loves the bold, fresh flavors of the New Latin Cuisine.
What's the secret to great Latin-inspired food? Create layers of flavor that unfold with every bite. That's just what Garcia does in this debut cookbook, serving up easy-to-make, irresistibly delicious dishes that taste "exotic"—though their ingredients can be found in your local supermarket. Here you'll find classic Latin favorites like Nuevo Arroz con Pollo, while homey American classics are given a modern Nuevo Latino twist. From succulent Snapper Taquitos with Jicama-Apple Salsita to versatile arepas, the fluffy corn flatbreads that are to the Venezuelan table what baguettes are to the French, more than one hundred recipes in this volume lead lovers of Latin food far beyond tacos and empanadas.
Lorena Garcia takes one of America's hottest cuisine trends out of the restaurant and into the home kitchen, where everyone can enjoy it. Working from a base of standard pantry items that make replicating and extending these meals a snap, Garcia shows everyday cooks how to add a Latin accent to just about any dish, from meatballs to marinara. Want comfort food with flair? Who can resist such flavorful go-to dishes as
• Smashed Guacamole
• Creamy Roasted Corn Soup
• Salmon Taquitos with Roasted Habanero Salsita
• Mango BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Still have room for dessert? Garcia's are as simple as they are satisfying: Sticky Arroz con Pollo de Leche, Caramelized Vanilla Figs with Goat Cheese and Grilled Papaya, Spicy Chocolate Mousse—sweet finishing touches to a perfectly prepared meal.
Dedicated to the timeless concept of cooking as an expression of love—an idea that transcends all cultures—Lorena Garcia's New Latin Classics is a delightful book to be shared around the table with family and friends. less

Tips for Climbing Stairs After Having Liposuction?

I have not scheduled my surgery date yet because im still trying to get everything in order (mostly $) but, I will be getting both a BA and Lipo (upper and lower abdomen, love handles, and upper back) done at the same time. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment (with NO elevator) and recently everyday on my way up the stairs I think to myself, how the hell im going to make it up the stairs after surgery?!?! I really really need help figuring this out, I could have my boyfriend carry me but im afraid that might be more painful then just taking it super slow... Please Help!!

Hi Jenna, welcome!
Going super-slow may be one of your better options. Do you have any friends/family that could put you up for a few days? Maybe someone with a downstairs bedroom or futon/sofa bed that you could sleep on?

There´s a difference between "Don´t speak Spanish in this school" and "All classroom instruction will be conducted in English except for ESL and foreign language classes."I would think the latter would be perfectly defensible. Why not?

Next the Mexican President will declare a portion of southern Texas annexed to protect Spanish speaking Mexicans and BO will make threats to seize bank accounts!

The principal of this school, which is about 50% Hispanic, banned the use of Spanish in the classrooms. That is, classes (except Spanish language classes, I´m sure) are to be conducted in English.How is this wrong?Should the 50% non-Hispanic students be forced to take their classes in Spanish--where they would be disadvantaged because of language?There was no ban on students speaking Spanish outside the classrooms.

The Houston Chronicle has better info on what´s going on:Kloecker is the former school board member."Outside the board meeting, Kloecker said that the problem was Flores-Smith, not issues of culture or race.´We´ve been a predominantly Hispanic district for several years now,´ she said. ´But we never had a problem until she came.´ Flores-Smith started the job in August."Hempstead now has ´wise latina´ in charge.

It´s easy to believe this stuff is only a few isolated cases of left wing Mexican activists. No. My Mexican pals in Amarillo told me long time ago that wait until the Mexicans outnumber whites and you will see what the real agenda has always been.

Congress has time to pass Bills naming "National Bagel Day" or "National Kiss Your Cat Day", but NEVER finds time to pass a LAW declaring English the Official Language of the United States?Illegal Mexicans are stealing our Borders, Language, Culture and educational resources.We cannot afford to absorb their children into our school systems and welfare system.

Growing up in school in Texas in the late 50s and 60s, there was never any question about the language spoken in the classrooms. English-only speaking students are at a disadvantage when some are speaking Spanish. Guess what, the Mexicans were in Texas before Caucasians. But Texas joined the union in 1846 and English has always been the language spoken in the classroom. At least until the political correct crowd began to fight for power.

OH YES. Once again so-called latino leaders throw less well educated Hispanics to the dogs. If those kids come out of the schools being unable to speak English, they will never be able to compete with the kids of the latino leaders. Therfore, the latino leaders wll ALWAYS be the leaders and have a lower class to do the dirty work and jobs too hard for the leaders´ pampered kids.

When you don´t push back, you enable this insanity. Mexicans want to come to this country to suck off the government teat, but do not want to assimilate. It is time to get tough. This is the United States of America. Settled by and for Americans. You have a country, it is called Mexico. Do what we did. Make it a place of opportunity for yourselves. Don´t come here after we have done the hard work and expect to waltz in and reap the benefits of what we have built. Show some respect for yourselves and us. Come here demanding what you haven´t worked for is an insult. Go home and make a country you can be proud of.

If those Mexican kids do not speak English worth a crap and need to speak Spanish in order to communicate, how do they really know the context of the Principal´s announcement that all students should speak English while in the school?The Hispanic activists by seeking an FBI investigation into what was a public announcement in a school are simply attempting in a tactical sense to blow this incident out of all proportion.What the liberal Democrats and Hispanic ethnic and immigration activists are doing in a strategic sense is attempting to create a new and very angry minority population group throughout the USA that is going to be an anchor around the neck of America for decades to come, and keep the liberal Democrats in political power.

UNL Extension again offering plastic pesticide container recycling
Forty locations across Nebraska are accepting empty, plastic pesticide containers for recycling in the 19th year of this statewide University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension program.
Plastic from collected containers is used to make industrial and consumer products such as shipping pallets, drain tile, dimension lumber and parking lot tire bumpers. Last year, the UNL program helped recycle about 25 tons of containers, contributing to an 18-year total of about 950 tons of containers, said UNL pesticide safety educator Clyde Ogg, who coordinates the program for the University of Nebraska's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The UNL Extension program helps recycle 1- and 2.5-gallon plastic pesticide containers and 15-, 30- and 55-gallon plastic crop protection chemical drums, Ogg said.
Recycling sites, guidelines and program details are on UNL's Pesticide Education Resources website at http://pested.unl.edu/recycling.
The program accepts pressure-rinsed or triple-rinsed 1- and 2.5-gallon plastic pesticide containers. They must be clean and drained, inside and out. Caps, labels and slipcover plastic labels must be removed since they cannot be recycled as part of the program. Those items should be disposed of as solid waste.
Of the 40 collection sites, 24 accept 15-, 30- and 55-gallon plastic crop protection chemical, crop oil and adjuvant drums. These drums must be thoroughly rinsed before delivery to collection sites and should not be cut or opened in any way. Seven of the sites are collecting year-round, 14 collect May through August, 13 collect on specific dates and six are by appointment only.
Mini-bulk, saddle tanks and nurse tanks, which can be made of fiberglass or plastics not compatible with the recycling program, are not accepted.
Before delivery to collection sites, containers and drums should be cleaned, rinsed and drained. Rinsate should be returned to the spray tank. Remove and properly dispose of booklets and caps from containers; and remove and properly dispose of plastic shrink-wraps. Glued-on paper labels can be left on the container.
The program is funded by a national coalition of agrichemical manufacturers through the Agricultural Container Recycling Council, Washington, D.C.
Some sites accept 15-, 30- and 55-gallon plastic drums.
All Points Cooperative in Lexington is among the year-round collection sites taking items, including drums, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Custer County Recycling Center in Broken Bow is one of the sites collecting pesticide containers, including drums, by appointment only. Call (308) 870-0313.
Another is the North Platte Transfer Station, 308-535-6710, which also accepts drums.

Educause Security Discussion
mailing list archives
Hi Jim,
Okay, I'll bite...
The thought concept that you present is dead-on accurate, if you are a
security person or an auditor. I cannot argue that point one iota. Testing
something before it is actually put into production, from a security
standpoint, makes all the sense in the world. Of course any policy worth
its weight will have that clause or step put into the policy, it only makes
I think the area of disconnect for the replies is the 'problem space' that
you suggest. Chad mentions that System Administrators are blocking this
from going through. Not auditors, security personnel, etc... I read that to
mean standard IT people. Quite possibly people who know computers inside
and out, but wouldn't know what Wireshark was or what is used for if it came
up and bit them in the...
This is the struggle between security IT people and standard IT people. You
are correct, my message came through as an us vs. them mentality, but
sometimes, that is what is needed. (No worries, no quotes from Sun Tzu...)
I, hopefully, presented an ideology that is less militant than quite a few
other suggestions that I have heard over the years...
That's why I stressed that us, as security-minded people, need to be viewed
as an asset by other people who are not security minded. A lot of the
decision making (read: controllers of the purse strings) do not have
security training, as well as some administrators. Quite possibly the ones
that Chad mentions fall into this category. How about another analogy...
you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar?
To use your airplane wing example... Do you test the wing only after it has
been built to find out that it cannot withstand the subzero temperatures in
the stratosphere, then go back and alter the manufacturing process? Or, do
you try and find out if the materials used in the manufacturing of the
airplane wing, before testing, can accommodate such harsh conditions? How
do you educate the welders, metalworkers, suppliers, riveters, etc... that
the new material is necessary for the final product? How do you get
everyone involved into that mind set?
Quite the dilemma and why we all have such wonderful jobs!
This is where I think we are on the same page. The step that Chad mentions
is the final step of a process that is several steps, not the one and only

Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Pre Production System Accreditation
Of course this is a great idea, and you should do it, not only because
it's a great idea but:
1. It makes sense - do you try to fly a new airplane wing design without
air tunnel testing, do you try to sail the ocean in a boat design that's
never seen water? Can you create a secure product if you've never tested
its security?
2. A test at this point in time does not put the data asset at risk. If
you wait, then you not only risk the asset, you risk the service the
system will provide to others.
3. There are fewer variables to test, why complicate the analysis
needlessly? A baseline is a great tool for future evaluation
4. It would absolutely be required at places that must certify their
security, such as DoD contractors, and the like, so why isn't it a good
idea here if security is indeed a requirement?
I can't imagine an auditor worth their salt wouldn't support the
concepts, and of course without info into the specifics of the
situation, the generic problem space you present seems to be a
no-brainer. Test the safe before you put money into it - will it really
keep it safe in a fire or not? What isn't sensible about that? There
are some good IT Auditors in the larger Georgia systems (Tech, State,
etc.), so I hope you have access to one at your U, I don't know it well
enough. But this shouldn't be an us vs. them issue as others have said,
simple logic demonstrates value. Take the time to really ferret out the
objectives of those dissenting, and perhaps seek some help on
identifying the asset value of the production system to see if the
potential return (loss avoidance perhaps) on a secure system is enough.
If you are talking Credit Cards or SSNs or other regulated personal
privacy this is a no-brainer deluxe and you should hold your ground.
Feel free to fire back some of the dissenting arguments and see if we
can't pick at them some!

I have proposed that GCSU develop a policy that would require that a
server or system be accredited prior to moving that system into
production. The accreditation process among other things would verify
that the system's security has been reviewed before potentially
sensitive information is stored on or travels through that system. I
originally thought that this would blow through the policy approval
process with flying colors, but unfortunately I'm being blocked by my
own department's system administrators. Am I completely off base with
this recommendation?

Talon Air Adds Four More Hawker 4000s to Charter Fleet
Aircraft charter and management firm Talon Air added four new Hawker 4000s to its Part 135 certificate this week. The super-midsize jets are based at Talon's new 100,000-sq-ft hangar and office complex at New York's Republic Airport in Farmingdale, Long Island. With nine Hawker 4000s on its charter certificate–nearly one-fifth of the in-service fleet of this type–Talon remains the largest owner and operator of these twinjets in the world.
This is indeed great for this charter service company. We all know for a fact that flying on private jets is one of the most in demand aviation services these days. If only everyone could afford this, I think this would be the choice for most travelling people just to avoid all the hassles in commercial airlines. Thanks for sharing all these pieces of information.

Sen. Mitch McConnell and the Republicans said over and over that they were going to make President Barack Obama a one-term president. So they got Mitt Romney to run. This is the man who put a medical plan in Massachusetts that is working, yet Romney said he would repeal Obamacare. Romney never won.
Then I hear, "the government was shut down before and it didn't hurt that bad." You can't compare now with then. Since then we have been in two wars and had a recession.
We are still trying to come back from that. People still need jobs; more people out of work means less taxes being paid. How is this going to help? Everyone that doesn't work also doesn't buy, so businesses are also affected.
We are supposed to be the greatest country!

text: Piers Morgan Admits His Gun Control Rants Contributed to CNN Show's Demise Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 23 Feb 2014 post a comment With CNN president Jeffrey Zucker planning to "pull the plug" on Piers Morgan Live, " Morgan admits his anti-gun rants divided and alienated viewers. According to The New York Times, Zucker has been watching Morgan's show hit new ratings lows and is ready to go a different way with the 9 p.m. slot. Morgan spoke to the coming end by admitting he's "been taking a bath in the ratings." He added: "Look, I'm a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it." Morgan believes he's now "in danger of being the guy at the end of the bar who is always going on about the same thing"--guns, in this instance--and that he probably alienated a lot of heartland Americans by being "this British guy telling them how to lead their lives and what they should do with their guns." On February 21st, Breitbart News reported on a Variety Magazine article that showed Morgan's already faltering ratings fell "more sharply" once gun control "became a frequent subject" on his show. Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro and I debated gun laws on Morgan's program on separate occasions. Washington Post media writer Erik Wemple characterized the former example as a one-sided bout where Morgan "struggled" and Shapiro "cornered the CNN host." Regarding the latter, Morgan apologized for a factual error a few days after his discussion with me. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins.

June 20 (Bloomberg) -- Commodities declined to the lowest level in six weeks led by losses in crude oil and copper after European governments failed to agree on a loan payment to spare Greece from default, increasing concern over economic growth.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of 24 raw materials dropped as much as 1.2 percent to 661.35 and was at 663.64 at 1:10 p.m. in London. The gauge slumped 4.7 percent last week, the first loss since the period ended May 6.
Euro-area finance ministers put off a decision on whether Greece will get the full 12 billion euros ($17.1 billion) promised for July as part of last year's bailout package, sending the euro lower against the dollar for the first time in three days. The International Monetary Fund cut its 2011 forecast for U.S. growth for the second time in two months.
"The major influence continues to be the European situation," Ben Westmore, a minerals and energy economist at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Melbourne, said by phone today. "If you look at what happened to the oil price during the financial crisis you can see that these events have a big impact. There is this tone of a global slowing in the economy."
Investors have reduced holdings of commodities and equities in favor of cash and bonds because of the worsening debt crisis in Europe and on concern that the global economy may expand more slowly than expected, according to the June survey by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Funds Cut Bets
Money managers cut their net-long positions in 18 U.S. commodities by 0.9 percent to 1.3 million futures and options contracts in the week ended June 14, government data compiled by Bloomberg show. That's the first drop since May 17. Declines were led by a 63 percent plunge in bets on rising wheat prices. Natural gas holdings tumbled 41 percent.
The U.S. economy will grow 2.5 percent this year, down from 2.8 percent projected in April, the IMF said June 17, citing higher commodity prices, bad weather and a weak housing market. The world economy will expand 4.3 percent this year, down from 4.4 percent estimated two months ago, the Washington-based IMF said. It left its 4.5 percent forecast for next year unchanged.
Crude oil for July delivery fell as much as 2 percent to $91.14 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange and last traded at $91.40. Oil may drop this week on signs that economic growth will slow in the U.S. and China, curbing fuel use in the biggest crude-consuming countries, a Bloomberg News survey showed. Eighteen of 38 analysts, or 47 percent, forecast prices will decline through June 24.
Stocks, Dollar
In China, the largest user of grains, metals and energy, the Shanghai Composite Index fell as much as 1.2 percent to the lowest level since September 2010. China will raise interest rates in the next 10 days, said Nomura Holdings Inc. The People's Bank of China increased lending rates four times since September to tame inflation.
The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, advanced as much as 0.6 percent. Copper for delivery in three months declined 1.5 percent to $8,963 a metric ton, taking this year's decline to 6.6 percent. Gold for immediate delivery fell 0.3 percent to $1,534.70 an ounce after gaining 0.5 percent last week.

If you were to ask me to describe the makings of a perfect receiver in the NFL, the images of Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, and Calvin Johnson would certainly come to mind first. But the blistering speed and talent of Mike Wallace is turning heads in the league, and Wallace is proving he certainly should be mentioned with the elite receivers in the NFL.
While I would still give Fitzgerald and the two Johnsons the nod as the most dominant receivers in the league, Wallace could now be considered the most "dangerous" receiver in the league. When Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt was asked about Wallace's 95-yard touchdown catch, he said the Cardinals fully anticipated that throw coming and could do nothing to stop it. Is there anything more telling of a player's talent than when the opposing coach says we knew what was coming and we couldn't stop it?
Wallace is setting an unbelievable statistical pace this season amassing 36 receptions for 730 yards and 5 touchdowns…… just sevens games into the season. At more than 20-yards-per-catch on the season, Wallace is a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators.
Another thing that impresses me about Wallace is his ability to lead at such a young age. I know the team still has Hines Ward in the locker room acting almost as a player/coach to the Steelers young receiving corps, but I have noticed that Wallace, who is only in his third season out of Ole Miss. has stepped up as a leader as well. After his 95-yard touchdown grab, Wallace did not go overboard on the celebration like most receivers would, he went back to the sideline and could be seen talking with Roethlisberger about how the duo could get the Cardinals the next time out on the field. Wallace is savvy with the media, and never takes an opportunity to knock another player on the team. In fact, any interview I have ever heard from Wallace praises the efforts of his teammates no matter what. That is the leadership you want from your most explosive offensive player, and with so many young talented receivers climbing the ranks in the Steelers organization, I think Wallace is the perfect man to set the precedent of the new age of Steelers football.
I am really impressed with the way Wallace is playing in the early stages of his career; not just as a player but also as a leader. For all the people that were clamoring for Plaxico to come back to the Burgh because "we needed a tall deep threat to stretch the field," and I was one of those people myself, Wallace has proven that he is more than capable of being the Steelers No. 1 receiver for the distant future.

Three of seven New London city councilors this week flatly rejected Mayor Daryl Finizio's alarmist plea to borrow another million dollars, on top of the $4.4 million the council agreed to borrow earlier this month, to stabilize city finances.
After listening for an hour Monday evening to City Finance Director Jeff Smith duck hard budget questions from skeptical councilors, I can understand why they remained unconvinced of the need for additional borrowing.
Pinning Smith down on pertinent budget questions looks like it might be harder than trapping a greased pig.
"You do a nice two-step in not answering the question," Councilor Martin T. Olsen complained to Smith during a Finance Committee portion of the night's budget talks.
Councilor Michael Passero grew almost hostile with Smith, as the finance director bobbed and weaved in his evasive answers, on topics ranging from the estimated costs of the new borrowing to how an electric car in the administration's proposed budget would be paid for.
Smith himself appeared hostile when, after persistent questions from Passero about the city's lack of a basic cash flow budget, a planning analysis of how money comes in and out, he told the councilor that of course he knows what a cash flow budget is.
But then he couldn't say whether the city has one and if not, why not.
Indeed, whether you agree with the mayor's assessment that the financial sky has fallen in New London, it seems clear that city finances have been woefully mismanaged.
How else could there be an emergency meeting called to say the city can't meet next week's payroll?
Imagine your spouse announcing out of the blue at breakfast one morning that there is no money to pay the rent that is due by the end of the week.
It seems Passero is right that managing cash flow should be basic planning, municipal accounting 101. Passero went on to complain about being "muscled" into borrowing another $1 million.
Finizio has been mayor more than two years, and he can no longer blame cash flow problems and the lack of planning for them on old administrations. He owns it.
The other important objection Passero raised Monday is that the emergency meeting called to consider the additional $1 million in borrowing was originally called as a closed-door executive session.
Plans for the closed session were scrapped on Monday. A former mayor took me downstairs in City Hall Monday to look on the bulletin board at the Monday afternoon time stamp for the revised emergency meeting notice, as he offered his opinion that proper advance notice was not given for the evening session.
The mayor's Monday session to discuss how he claims the sky has fallen was a reminder of another inappropriate call for an executive session, back in 2012, when the excuse for secrecy was said to be real estate transactions.
The mayor relented then on having an executive session, after being told it would be illegal, and called a press conference instead to say the sky was about to fall.
All the intelligent discussion I heard Monday evening about the borrowing plan came from the opposing councilors. The other councilors who voted for the Finizio plan might have just as well baahed like good sheep.
Councilor Erica Richardson made one of the most inane comments I've ever heard from a public official at a municipal meeting, and I've covered a lot of them over the years.
Richardson, expressing exasperation about city finances and things like deferred maintenance of buildings, as she looked up at the peeling paint on the ceiling, said someone needs to find a new source of a lot of revenue, and it can't be tax dollars.
Earth to Councilor Richardson: Municipal finances are about balancing spending with tax revenues, with some state grant money and borrowing for capital improvements thrown in.
There is no Santa Claus.

A New York City strip club has made waves for a bold decision. They've decided to no longer air the New York Giants games because it is "no fun watching" them as they continue to disappoint their fans.
The Giants are off to a stunning and shocking 0-5 start this season.
The club released the following statement, via Busted Coverage:
Rick's Cabaret New York, the famous gentlemen's club in midtown Manhattan, will no longer show NY Giants football games on the club's numerous Hi-Def TVs and big screens. "It has become too painful to watch the Giants lose week after week," said Rick's Cabaret Girl Monica.
"Nobody throws a party better than Rick's Cabaret–we are all about fun–and it's no fun watching the Giants anymore," explained Rick's Cabaret Girl Lindsay. "We love the Giants, but they get the crowd at our Weekend Football Viewing Parties all depressed."
Rick's Cabaret Girl Alexandra discussed the Giants/Eagles game. "There's like a hundred sexy topless girls here and everyone was exceedingly happy until it became clear during the second half that Eli Manning and the Giants were going to lose again."
Rick's Cabaret Girl Yvonne said, "I've been showing off my new 34Ds and getting compliments all the time, except right after Giants games–the guys are sort of deflated–they take that football stuff too seriously!"
"We will continue to show all other NFL teams and sporting contests on our TVs," said club spokesman Lonnie Hanover.
You know who is available to DJ if they need one? Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson! And on a bonus note, the Chiefs are 5-0 and fun to watch.

There is an interesting dynamic when it comes to eating out in the field. You have to be very prepared, and willing to adjust to what you do and don't have. Run out of onions? Use a lot of other spices. Only have potatoes and oil? Fry it! I swear, most everything we eat is fried, not sauteed. I have learned there is a difference, and we do nothing but fry it! My stomach might just hate me with the oil and the loads of white flour stuff I'm eating, alas…
We just got in our lot of food for a while, and of course it's right before I'm about to leave for my small vacation in Cuzco. It just means the others will eat well since myself and two of my coworkers will be leaving for a few days! Joy for them! There is a system to it all though, as we are only allowed a certain number of items a day, like two pieces of bread and only one egg. That's for things like snacks and breakfast which we make ourselves though. All other meals you eat what you can come up with.
Right now there are ten people at the station and it is group effort to make even just lunch for the lot of us. For instance, on today's menu we have four people making:
Soup with veggies and quinoa , ie bell pepper, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, plantains and much more, and rice.
We have been having other things like lentils, beans, pasta, salads, fried plantains, cheese, other soup, stir fry, fried rice, seasoned potatoes, french fries, and other things i can't remember. It's not much of a variety, but we do with it what we can.
And what do we do for other meals you ask? Breakfast is largely consisted of quick oatmeal with spices or sugar if you'd like, fried eggs with toast, fried rice, french toast, pancakes, and anything else you can come with that's sitting around like leftovers. And of course there is always room for tea, coffee and hot chocolate! But beware, the coffee here will make you pee like a mo .fo!
Dinner is much of the same thing, usually including lunch leftovers and other things added in. They've all been very sustaining especially when we are out in the field all day, but, if I'm lucky, there may or may not have been a package of cookies thrown in there….if they haven't all been eaten by others of course!
Seriously i have eaten my fair share of these babies since i got here and have to say they are extremely addictive, especially the vanilla an chocolate peanut butter variety! Can't wait to get back into town to get more…although I'm sure my waistline is happy they are gone! I hope my pants still fit when i get home!
So that's kind of how things are going food wise for us here. It's much different from my diet at home as I'm sure you can see, but I've got to go with the flow on this otherwise I'd starve, and we dont want that! It's been hard to adjust to, my stomach and digestion attest to that, but it's doable. I'm certainly learning how everyone makes the flavor stand out in their food: Salt! Guess when i get home I'll actually have to buy some to put in my kitchen, instead of having an almost no salt diet! Should be interesting!
Any other suggestions of meals for the lot of us?! We need some help in the variety department!

Taste of Belgium is planning to open a new location in Corryville, Polly Campbell reports:
Taste of Belgium is almost surely coming to Corryville. They haven't signed a lease yet (despite other reports to the contrary), but plan to within a week, said owner Jean-Francois Flechet. The space he's planning on is in the new residential building on the site of the former Schiel School on Short Vine.
It will be a more bar-focused location than their current cafe in The Gateway Quarter, with more small plates and bites, fewer full-priced entrees.

Opinion and commentary on some of the most controversial education issues including, unions, Latin, and technology. The views and opinions expressed in these articles are those of the writers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any Public School Review.
View the most popular articles in Opinion:
The other day I heard about a father who was bemoaning the fact that his nineteen year old son was a mess. The gist of this father's complaint was that he had done so much for his child but nothing seemed to be appreciated. I totally understand the complexities and pitfalls of raising children in the 21st century. It is a scary, very different world from the one I was raised in back in the 50s and 60s, for sure. It is a much different world from the one in which we raised our four children. And, yes, there were times - not many - when I was guilty of being a velcro or helicopter parent. I couldn't bear to see my children fail or make the mistakes I made. Unfortunately, that strategy never produced the results I was expecting.
With all this in mind let's take a look at what happens when parents over-indulge and over-protect their children.
What do the terms "velcro" and "helicopter" parents mean?
The term "velcro parent" describes the kind of parent who sticks close to his child to protect him. The "helicopter parent" is constantly hovering around her child to protect him. Merriam Webster's Dictionary defines a helicopter parent as "a parent who is overly involved in the life of his or her child". While there is no entry for "velcro parent", one can only assume that it will not be long before there is.
Velcro and helicopter parents have their children's best interests at heart. . . .read more
My late father-in-law, Dr. James Garnett Lyne, used to refer to what he called 'mass mediocrity' whenever he discussed education. Like me he was a product of a public school education. Neither of our parents could afford a private school education.
What did he mean by 'mass mediocrity'? He was referring to what he feared would be the result of a general lowering of standards in our schools. He argued that the less qualified teachers were, the less they were paid and the less demanding high school curricula were, the more we as a society would descend into 'mass mediocrity'. Dr. Lyne has been gone for 45 years. Yet his prescient words still haunt me. You see, back then, I had no clue what he was talking about. None. That scholarly father-in-law of mine was given to many well-reasoned pronouncements. I figured that this was just one more and filed it away in my memory bank.
Graduates lack basic business skills
In my own daily life and work I am well aware of what high school graduates - both public and private school graduates - bring to the table. The lack of basic business communications skills is appalling. And I don't think that Twitter and texting is the reason. I remain convinced until somebody can show me otherwise that most high school students are simply not taught how to write business communications. They might have had one short lesson on that skill in English . . .read more
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break. Your children are accustomed to structure during the other nine months of the year. It is a good idea to plan their vacation months. The structure will be there, just much more flexible and adaptable to the needs of the day. Let's look at some of your options for making summer a special time for both you and your children.
Young Children (ages 4-10)
Most schools offer summer sessions. Depending on its resources a school may offer all day sessions or just a long morning session running from approximately 9 until 1. If the school has had a summer session for several years, it probably has worked out most of the kinks. But keep an eye out for the quality of each activity. Is the school merely providing glorified babysitting or are the activities well-planned, well-organized and well-supervised by qualified personnel?
The advantage of sending a young child to a summer session at her school is that she knows just about everybody anyway. Even more important for your wee one is that the daily routine is similar to what she is already comfortable with. My biggest concern with summer sessions is the planning. Weather doesn't cooperate every day, so that refreshing time in the pool can't always be counted on. What's planned . . .read more
Yet another horrific shooting. More innocent lives snuffed out. Twenty children sitting in their safe, familiar classroom. Gone.
Yet another horrific shooting. More innocent lives snuffed out. Twenty children sitting in their safe, familiar classroom. Gone.
These shootings have become an all too familiar story. I now think twice about visiting public places. I still go. But I am wary. The same defensive mechanism which kicks in when I drive is now present in my thinking. But let me back up a bit and explain my aversion to violence. This video gives an overview of the issue.
As a classicist I am quite familiar with our love of violent spectacles. Chariot races, gladiator contests and mock naval wars are all, as far as I am concerned, precursors of 21st century video games and movies. That does not mean that I like them. Not one bit.
My first taste of real violence was during the terrorist activities which took place in the Province of Quebec back in the 60s when I was a teen. I knew nothing of violence prior to that, having been raised in a leafy green English neighborhood in Montreal called Westmount. My family had lived there for several generations. But the French Canadians were tired of feeling oppressed and shackled economically and socially by a minority population, i.e., les Anglais. They started blowing things up. I was out for a walk one day heading north on Roslyn Avenue. I heard what I to this day recall as a thump. Not a bang. A thump. As I turned the corner onto . . .read more
Does a dead language have any place in a 21st century curriculum? Is it useful? Is it relevant? Does it have value as an enrichment to the core curriculum? I think it does and for the following reasons.
1. Latin offers young people a glimpse into the life and times of the ancient Romans.
Yes, they can read about ancient Rome and watch the videos. They can learn about expansion of the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar. All that information is readily available. But it is filtered information. The whole point of learning a language is to be able to read source materials. I don't want somebody telling me what Julius Caesar said. I want to read it for myself. I want to understand what Caesar said, why he said it, how he said it - the works.
With that assumption in mind it makes sense to allow students to experience the language by learning how to speak it. Perhaps Latin may be a dead language in the sense that it is no longer the lingua franca of commerce and world affairs. On the other hand Latin is a beautiful sounding language which will delight young listeners.
I will disclaim that I learned Latin back in the 50s and 60s when it was taught in the rather old-fashioned way languages were taught back then. You learned endless conjugations and declensions. You struggled with Latin's nuanced sense of tense. Et cetera. It would have been rather dry and dull had it not been for . . .read more
