AIG, Citibank and a number of other federally bailed-out financial institutions have no plans to cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in sports team sponsorships, even as they take billions in taxpayer support, ABC News has found.
In boom times, the sponsorships were seen as a way to advertise the firms' "brands" and appeal to potential customers. Even today, at least one bank told ABC News that a naming deal was increasing its revenue. But critics, including a member of Congress, say the decision to continue them now is hard to defend.
Struggling Citibank just sealed a multi-billion-dollar emergency "backstop" deal with the U.S. government. The financial behemoth, suffering with billions in bad mortgage-related assets on its books, recently shed 53,000 workers and saw its stock price lose over half its value. Yet it's in a 20-year contract to pay the New York Mets $400 million to name the team's new stadium "Citi Field."
"This type of spending is indefensible and unacceptable to Citigroup's new partner and largest investor: the American taxpayer," said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., in a statement Monday.
Citi isn't alone: Imploding insurance giant AIG is paying the British soccer team Manchester United $125 million for the privilege of having its logo appear on Man U's uniforms. That, despite the fact the firm is standing largely thanks to a $150 billion lifeline from the U.S. Treasury.
"A friend of mine joked they should put 'US Treasury' on the front of their uniforms," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington, D.C.-based nonpartisan watchdog group which is outraged by the expenditures.
In boom times it was fine for AIG, Citi and others to spend millions on naming rights and other promotional arrangements with professional sports teams, critics say – even if they're a waste of money, as some marketing experts believe. But when the economy teeters on the brink of collapse – and firms are using American taxpayers' money to keep lending or just keep their doors open – those critics are making a stink about the expensive deals.
"Up until now they were businesses who could invest or waste their money as they see fit," said Taxpayers for Common Sense's Ellis. "But now we're the shareholders. And frittering their money away with naming rights and ties to sports teams isn't a really good investment of taxpayers' money -- particularly when credit markets are collapsed."
A spokesman for AIG confirmed that its sponsorship deal with Manchester United remains in place, but that the company is "reviewing all sponsorships to identify any relationship that might be essential, to maintain the value of the business and service customers, so we can repay the [government] loan."
Citicorp is not reviewing its deal with the Mets, chief financial officer Gary Crittenden said in an interview Monday. Crittenden told CNBC the contract was "legal and binding" and "not an issue."
Last week, a bank spokesman defended the arrangement, saying that "there is absolutely no relationship between our sports marketing expenses, including Citi Field," and the government funds it had already received.
That's not enough for Rep. Cummings. "I strongly urge Citigroup to find a way out of this contract and instead spend that $400 million on retaining its employees and restoring confidence in its operations," he said.

It's been a while since I visited a new country for a tournament - even though I'm only 22 I've been fortunate enough to have visited many different places already. So I was especially looking forward to coming to Korea.
I'm very impressed by the stadium. This is where Steffi Graf won the 1988 Olympics, the year she completed the "Golden Slam". There are many outside courts for practice, which is not always the case at tournaments, and it's really nice to see so many children coming to watch practice.
I arrived early on Friday and was greeted at the airport by photographers and a couple of journalists. It's easy to sense the hunger for tennis here in Asia - there is a lot of excitement about this event and I have been made to feel very welcome.
On Friday evening I had my first practice session on the main court, and the tournament asked me to do an interview for one of the main sports television shows. There were some interesting and unusual questions, maybe we will be able to post the video here soon.
On Sunday I did an autograph session at an adidas store and it was also quite busy. Later that evening my team and I went to a very nice Italian restaurant. So far I haven't been very adventurous with my meals: my agent tried some jellyfish, snails, octopus and some other seafood that I had never seen before. I am not sure my stomach is strong enough for that, but I will definitely try the famous Korean BBQ.
The weather forecast for tomorrow isn't very good, so it could be a long day with some delays, but I'm looking forward to getting back on court.

You just can't get enough of co-ed indie-pop pairs, can you, America?
Hot on the heels of She & Him comes the brand-new duo Jenny and Johnny — comprised of well-regarded singer-songwriters Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley, solo and Troop Beverly Hills fame) and Johnathan Rice.
They're out on tour supporting their brand-new debut album, I'm Having Fun Now, which rides the waves of light-hearted alt-rock (think a slightly more sober Best Coast) to sunny success.
The duo comes to Nashville on Saturday, Sept. 25 for a show at the Mercy Lounge (1 Cannery Row, 251-3020). It starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $15.

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 9, 2013) – State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) today filed legislation to give law enforcement officers and prosecutors statewide the specific tools they need to target manufacturers and users of dangerous synthetic drugs.
Merritt's bill, if approved by the Indiana General Assembly, will act as a multi-faceted approach to stop the proliferation and sale of synthetic drugs that are often marketed to Hoosiers under names like "Spice" and "Bath Salts."
First, Merritt's bill proposes a broad definition of synthetic drugs that does not rely on the chemical makeup of individual substances. Under the bill, the definition for "synthetic drugs" includes:
"Despite two well-intentioned attempts to thwart this scourge of synthetic drugs in our society, manufacturers are still quickly finding different chemical compounds that allow them to skirt our current laws, even with emergency policymaking rules in place," Merritt said. "If this new definition is approved, making a slight change in the chemical makeup of a drug but continuing to market that substance as one that will cause intoxication, will be illegal."
State police officials said the new synthetic drug definition is a vital tool for officers.
"People are learning that the most lucrative way to sell synthetic drugs is to manufacture their own," Tami Watson, an Indiana State Trooper, said. "Unfortunately, these black market dealers are purchasing chemicals online without knowing what these substances are or their side effects, but still fully intending for them to cause a high after consumption. This is very dangerous."
Merritt's legislation will also alter the current definition of "intoxication" under Indiana code to include impairment by any substance, excluding food and food ingredients, tobacco or a dietary supplement. The Hoosier state's current definition for intoxication only includes being under the influence of certain substances like alcohol and controlled drugs.
"Indiana State Police have experienced several cases where drivers were severely impaired by unidentified synthetic drugs, but our officers were unable to cite," Watson said. "This new definition for intoxication will allow us to help keep those individuals off the road."
Merritt said his legislation will also strengthen law enforcement officers' tools against Indiana retailers who are selling synthetic drugs and look-alikes for profits. In such a situation, Merritt's bill calls for retail merchants' certificates to be automatically suspended for one year. A second offense will warrant a Class D Felony.
Attorney General Greg Zoeller, who recently launched a statewide synthetic drug enforcement initiative, worked with Merritt to identify ways to strengthen current state law and expand enforcement opportunities. Under Merritt's proposed legislation, the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act (DCSA) and the drug nuisance statute would be strengthened in order to help the Attorney General's office bring civil actions against retailers to stop the sale of synthetic drugs.
"Synthetic drug manufacturers have continued to manipulate their products' ingredients to avoid complying with Indiana's laws," Zoeller said. "And some retail merchants are knowingly selling these drugs marked with phony labels like 'bath salts' and 'potpourri' and implying these products are safe. This legislation would strengthen state statutes and give the Attorney General's office more tools to use when prosecuting retailers caught selling these types of drugs."
Currently, the Department of Revenue (DOR) can revoke a retailer's business license through an administrative process if there is a criminal conviction. Zoeller worked to include the provision that would allow judges to order the DOR to immediately revoke a retail merchant certificate in judgments issued based on DCSA violations. Zoeller said this provision could stop a problem business from operating even if a separate criminal case was still pending.
Merritt's legislation will likely be assigned to the Senate Committee on Corrections and Criminal Law.
"My message to synthetic drug makers, retailers and users is this: The distribution of these dangerous substances will stop," Merritt said. "We must eliminate any interest Hoosiers have in buying, selling and manufacturing synthetic drugs."

In September, the Bradford County Humane Society (BCHS) got a call that an elderly man had passed away, leaving behind six Chihuahua mixes. The dogs had not received care in over a week and urgently needed help.
BCHS, located in rural Pennsylvania, dispatched its animal cruelty investigator right away. At the home, the investigator found the dogs to be in serious condition, and that they had likely suffered long-term neglect. The pups needed veterinary care immediately—and the nearest clinic was 45 minutes away.
The investigator faced a tough choice: All six dogs had an urgent need for care, but the only vehicle she had was an old Ford F-150 pick-up that couldn't fit them all. She was forced to make two trips.
Fortunately, with extensive veterinary attention and lots of care from dedicated BCHS staff, all the dogs pulled through and eventually found loving homes. Still, one thing was clearer than ever to BCHS Executive Director Jennifer L. Spencer: Her shelter needed a transport vehicle that would allow it to more efficiently carry out its life-saving work and cause less stress to transported animals. She applied for an ASPCA grant.
Since its inception in 2008, the ASPCA Grants Department has quickly become a key player in animal welfare philanthropy, helping fund exciting animal welfare programs in every state. To date, the ASPCA has made nearly $55 million in grants!
Last week, the ASPCA made its 5,000th grant, awarding $31,500 to BCHS for a brand-new transport vehicle, and we're thrilled about how many animals we know it will help. BCHS will use the vehicle for cruelty investigations, as well as to ferry shelter animals to a local veterinary clinic for spay/neuter surgeries.
The vehicle will also help BCHS greatly expand its trap-neuter-return program, which just began in October and is the first of its kind in the area. Currently, BCHS must transport humanely trapped cats in the pick-up. With the new van, Spencer says, BCHS will be able to transport cats to the vet in one trip, reducing costs and stress for the animals.
Spencer says she's already seeing signs that the program is reducing the local cat population and saving lives: "Last year at this time we were already overloaded with kittens," she notes, "and right now we have open cages. I can't wait for a year or two to go by to see what this program can do."
We can't wait, either, and we want to offer our sincerest congratulations to BCHS on receiving our 5,000th grant!

After seeing what feels like a lifetime's worth of runway shows, it's almost impossible to not make the connection between catwalks and beehives, with the frenzied bustling, calculated footwork, lookalike drones… so a bee-inspired collection could easily feel obvious and expected.
Except of course, if it were done by the brilliant Sarah Burton. Her bee-inspired collection at Alexander McQueen drew inspiration from the "matriarchal society where females rule" (no wonder she was in our Girl Power story). To make it work, Burton took the stiff geometry of honeycombs and the sharp menace of venom to create a collection that's worth buzzing about.
Pin-up meets Southern belle meet femme fatale meets lampshade — it was a collection that felt nostalgic but new, sweet but evil, and weird but wearable. Basically, all of the contradictions that only the most powerful Queen Bee could concoct.

HARLAN — All the momentum Creston/O-M seemed to gain with a touchdown drive late in the first half Friday against seventh-ranked Harlan seemed to blow away in the brisk wind of Saturday when play resumed.
Creston/O-M trailed 14-7 when play was halted at halftime Friday as thunderstorms moved throughout western Iowa. Officials from both schools finally decided on resuming at 1 p.m. Saturday at Merrill Field.
Aided by a a south wind gusting to 36 mph, Harlan took advantage of good field position as the second half resumed Saturday afternoon, and struck for three quick scores in a 34-7 victory over Creston/O-M.
Weather conditions were much different on Saturday. Compared to the calm, warm and humid conditions at kickoff at 6 p.m. Friday, fans were greeted Saturday by a strong southwest wind and much lower temperatures peaking in the mid-50s.
TD flurry
It didn't take long for the Cyclones to strike, as Creston/O-M punted into the wind from its own 14, giving the Cyclones possession on the Panther 41-yard line. A penalty on the kickoff return had pinned the Panthers deep in their own territory to start the opening drive.
Ten plays after Harlan fielded the punt, Nate Gettys scored on a 2-yard run to make it 20-7, as a fumbled snap for the kick led to a failed two-point pass attempt.
Things quickly got worse for the visitors. Creston/O-M fumbled on a reverse play handoff on its next possession at its own 20. Harlan needed only four plays to score, as quarterback Adam Juhl found 6-foot-7 tight end Trey Lansman over the middle in the end zone for a 4-yard TD to stretch it to 27-7.
Things didn't improve for the Panthers on their next possession. On a third-and-two play, a high shotgun snap was bobbled by Panther quarterback Brandon Phipps, leading to another punt into the wind instead of a first down and improved field position.
This time Harlan took over at its own 44, with that drive also culminating in a scoring connection from Juhl to Lansman from 13 yards out, making it 34-7 with 10 seconds left in the third period.
The Panthers then got the wind at their back, but never recovered from the third-quarter flurry. With Juhl floating a high pass into the wind, Panther safety Bryce Briley had an apparent interception with 7:40 remaining, taking the ball deep into Harlan territory, but the play was nullified by a pass interference penalty on the Panthers.
Friday's action
Play was more competitive Friday, as Jesse Rathe caught a 27-yard touchdown pass shortly before halftime to bring Creston/O-M to within 14-7 of Harlan at half.
It was a productive drive starting at the 3:50 mark at the Panther 11-yard line. Tight end Levi Eblen made a nifty over-the-shoulder catch for a 26-yard gain to the Harlan 35 with a minute left. The TD catch by Rathe came on fourth-and-two at the 27 with 28 seconds left.
Gettys opened the scoring for Harlan with a 5-yard run with 3:49 left in the first quarter.
Later, Harlan had a short field and drove 44-yards, capping the drive with a 3-yard pass from Juhl to Allan Hopp.
Rathe also had an interception in the first half, and Panther all-state linebacker Trevor Frain had tackles for losses on two successive Harlan possessions. It was a much different story Saturday, however.
Creston/O-M finished with only 11 net yards rushing. Phipps was 9-of-20 passing for 148 yards.
Harlan had balanced production offensively, running for 181 yards with another 145 through the air by Juhl. Harlan had 18 first downs to Creston/O-M's seven.
Those numbers tell the story of the outcome better than any inconvenience the Panthers endured from two trips to Harlan in 19 hours, coach Brian Morrison said.
"We gave them a short field. You can't pin yourself that deep and expect to win against Harlan," Morrison said. "We couldn't get anything going. We needed to take control of what we do and run the ball. We couldn't do that."
The final possession of the first half, and relative success of the defense in preventing big plays, provided optimism for the final two quarters. Then Mother Nature threw in a wrinkle with the Panthers facing Saturday's wind.
"They are a good football team," Morrison said. "They are balanced. Our defense didn't play bad by any means. They just got in a tough situation there. We had opportunities, but Harlan was aggressive and got after it."
Going in, Harlan coach Curt Bladt had talked about the importance of moving the ball consistently and keeping it away from the Panther offense. He came away pleased with his team's defensive effort.
"We'll take that," he said. "Creston's put up a lot of points against people, and for our defense to step up at that level, that's a good sign. I thought we'd be in a dog fight all the way with this thing."
Taking the wind to start the third quarter was a key factor, Bladt noted.
"If we would have gone against the wind to start with and they'd have put two or three scores like we did, it may have been kind of difficult to get those back," he said. "So we decided that we'd kick them down in there and see if we couldn't keep them there. The defense did a great job."
Overshadowed in the loss was a big defensive effort by Frain at middle linebacker. He finished with 13 total tackles, including four for losses. Seth Maitlen and Conner Pals, who both battled minor injuries during the game, produced 13 and nine tackles, respectively, with Pals adding two key pass breakups. Rathe's interception Friday was the only Harlan turnover.
Gettys finished with 129 yards rushing on 31 carries and two touchdowns. Juhl was 14-of-30 passing for 145 yards and three TDs with one interception. Harlan improves to 5-1 and 3-0 in the district to share the lead with Lewis Central.
Creston/O-M, now 4-2 overall and 2-2 in District 1, hosts Glenwood in a key game this Friday to keep playoff hopes alive. Glenwood played a non-district game Friday, losing to Sergeant Bluff-Luton, 40-17. In district play, ADM shut out Atlantic 38-0 and Lewis Central topped Perry in a defensive battle, 17-7.

Farms and Forests
COA owns 300 acres of farmland and forests. Beech Hill Farm, 15 miles from campus in the town of Mt. Desert, raises organic vegetables and flowers, and has an old orchard of heritage apple trees. Peggy Rockefeller Farms, less than 5 miles from campus in Bar Harbor, raises vegetables and livestock including sheep and chickens. Forested land includes 67 acres at Beech Hill, 62 acres at Peggy Rockefeller Farms and the 100-acre woodland known as the Cox Protectorate near the Peggy Rockefeller Farms. All of our farm and forest properties provide research and educational opportunities for students and faculty.
Goals of Farm Management
During 2010-2011, COA convened a Farms Task Force that reviewed information available on the farms' history and land-use capacity, and considered ways to integrate operations at Beech Hill Farm and Peggy Rockefeller Farms. The Task Force developed four overarching farm goals:
• Provide opportunities for student education and research.
• Provide food for COA's dining facilities (Take-a-Break menu).
• Create mutually beneficial partnerships with organizations and agencies that have compatible goals.
• Help to raise awareness and promote action on sustainable agriculture issues and food security in our local communities and on Mount Desert Island.
Students have opportunities to work on both farms in work-study positions and summer jobs. They also can design and participate in Independent Studies, group studies, and Senior Projects on the farms and the Cox Protectorate. Courses and tutorials to support students' learning on the farms are offered through the Sustainable Food Systems program. Partnerships with other organizations and internships on other farms are ongoing.
COA Dining Services provides wholesome, delicious food to students, faculty, staff and visitors at our main cafeteria, Take-a-Break, and a smaller café, Sea Urchin. Collaborative work between the farms and kitchen is helping COA "close the loop," forming a more sustainable system of food production and consumption. For example, food waste from Take-a-Break becomes compost for our farms and the community garden on campus; and food from both farms forms a substantial proportion (up to 30%, depending on season) of the food served in Take-a-Break. The introductory food systems class, COA's Foodprint, focuses on COA's food system and the full impacts of our purchasing decisions. Students also have opportunities through a class on Farm and Food Project Planning to design projects to improve our food system such as by starting new farm enterprises, introducing more seasonal and local foods to campus and raising campus awareness of sustainable seafood options.
Our Relationship with the Mount Desert Island Community
Our farms' educational impacts extend well beyond the COA community. Farm staff provides tours to visitors and groups from local schools and summer programs. The farm also contributes produce to the Bar Harbor Food Pantry in the summer, and students in the Gardens and Greenhouses class raise vegetables for the Pantry in the Community Garden on campus. In addition to serving as an "outdoor laboratory" for this class, the Community Garden has plots that Bar Harbor residents can rent for a nominal fee to raise their own vegetables.
Share the Harvest
To make Beech Hill Farm produce available to the community, students and alumni have worked with farm managers to create a program called Share the Harvest. Through vouchers, this program offers organic food from Beech Hill Farm to clients of food banks on Mount Desert Island. In addition, income-eligible households can enter a lottery to receive a $50 voucher to purchase food from the Beech Hill Farm stand.

Fletcher named to all-tournament team at Unlimited Potential/Bay Tree Classic
Thursday, September 11, 2003MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (Sept. 11, 2003) - East Tennessee State senior Kristen Fletcher (Cookeville) earned all-tournament honors at the Unlimited Potential/Bay Tree Classic at the Bay Tree Golf Plantation. Fletcher, who needed to place in the top five of the tournament to receive the honor, shot a 5-over-par 149 to lead all ETSU golfers in the event. After a 2002-03 season which saw Fletcher finish second on the Bucs roster with an 80.8 stroke average, the senior is expected to lead the Bucs this season. "I'm very happy for Kristen and very pleased with the way she played last weekend," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Reynolds. "I think Kristen can be a true team leader for us this season." The ETSU women's golf team will continue their fall season later this month at the Minnesota Invitational, Sept. 20-21.

The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members.
The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right. The quality of the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-quality adult leaders. We work closely with our chartered organizations to help recruit the best possible leaders for their units.
The adult application requests background information that should be checked by the unit committee or the chartered organization before accepting an applicant for unit leadership. While no current screening techniques exist that can identify every potential child molester, we can reduce the risk of accepting a child molester by learning all we can about an applicant for a leadership position—his or her experience with children, why he or she wants to be a Scout leader, and what discipline techniques he or she would use.
Youth Protection training should be taken within the first 90 days of becoming an adult leader. While there is no standard time period after which an individual would be required to retake Youth Protection training (either online or the guided presentation discussion version), each person is encouraged to take either course as a refresher every 24 months. This does not preclude local councils or the National Council from requiring a date-specific certificate of completion for the online version.
The BSA has adopted the following policies to provide additional security for our members. These policies are primarily for the protection of our youth members; however, they also serve to protect our adult leaders from false accusations of abuse.
A key ingredient for a safe and healthy Scouting experience is the respect for privacy. Advances in technology are enabling new forms of social interaction that extend beyond the appropriate use of cameras or recording devices (see "Barriers to Abuse Within Scouting"). Sending sexually explicit photographs or videos electronically or "sexting" by cell phones is a form of texting being practiced primarily by young adults and children as young as middle-school age. Sexting is neither safe, nor private, nor an approved form of communication and can lead to severe legal consequences for the sender and the receiver. Although most campers and leaders use digital devices responsibly, educating them about the appropriate use of cell phones and cameras would be a good safety and privacy measure.
The "three R's" of Youth Protection convey a simple message to youth members:

En español | In the final months of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, Rafael López's wife, Candice, asked him for a big favor: Create an image that would resonate for Latinos and help Obama win their votes in swing states. "We can't let him lose," she implored.
The portrait Lopez painted of Obama was adopted as an official campaign poster and gave the artist national exposure that led to speaking engagements, the creation of three paintings for Oprah Winfrey's South Africa school, and a coveted invitation to produce the 2011 Latin Music Legends U.S. postage stamp series being released in March.
López's "use of brilliant colors to capture the flavor of the Hispanic experience made him a natural choice for the Latin Music Legends stamps to portray their energy and vitality," says Richard Maher, a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson. The series features Celia Cruz, Carlos Gardel, Carmen Miranda, Tito Puente and Selena.
The artist, 49, previously designed two stamps for the Postal Service: one illustrating the merengue and another commemorating Westminster vs. Mendez, the 1947 court case that held separate schools for Mexican Americans were unconstitutional. But creating an entire set of stamps, says López, was a greater challenge and involved two years of research and painting.
As usual, he split his time between a home and studio in San Diego — a spacious converted auto garage in a patch of gritty downtown — and a more idyllic spot in San Miguel de Allende, a central Mexico artists' colony. Also as usual, he used Mexican acrylic paints because of their low price and vibrant colors. He applied the paint to hand-cut, sanded wood canvases, creating textures with various tools, including shells. A printer then reduced the paintings to produce stamp-size copies.
Miguel Salmerón, a photographer who has worked with López, says the artist's commitment to Mexican forms and colors "has really hit a home run. He was doing this when it wasn't cool. He could have gone in any direction. I'm glad he stuck with his love for his culture and the belief in his own work."
Says López, "It was a real honor to make the series because I am passionate about Latin music, as it has fueled my work for decades. I hope the images will inspire fans and future generations of musicians and artists."
The artist has also inspired future generations by mentoring at-risk high school students in the American Institute of Graphic Arts' San Diego program, LINK (Lead and Invest in our Neighborhood Kids).

Opinion: Now That Paula Broadwell And Jill Kelley's 15 Minutes Are About Up
Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelley need to be removed from the top of the nation's top newspaper publications and demoted to the likes of the National Enquirer.
Opinion: Obama's Press Conference Extremely Disturbing
Obama's press conference confirmed the fear that many Americans have. It's the fear that Americans are apparently in for more of the same in terms of having a non-compromising and less-than-totally-transparent politician in the Oval Office.
Opinion: Petraeus Must Testify On Libya
Petraeus must either volunteer to speak as a civilian or Congress must subpoena the former CIA Director to speak to complete the Benghazi puzzle.
Opinion: Quit Gloating And Whining
We had an election and absolutely nothing that matters has changed. Nothing!
Opinion: Ten Reasons Mitt Romney Lost The Election
Today, Republicans feel a combination of confusion, disbelief, and anger as to how a slim majority of Americans can possibly want four more years of the Obama administration in the White House. To many, it seems inconceivable that people want to take a chance on more of the same.
Opinion: A Few Brave Newspapers Endorse Romney Fighting Tide Of Liberal Press
The newspapers that are not endorsing President Barack Obama are extremely brave. They are to be positively recognized for their courage to stand up against the onslaught of the liberal media which refuses to speak in the best interest of the country as the presidential election nears.
Opinion: Single-Issue Voting Is Wrong In These Multi-Issue Times
Consider the economy, the job market, the recent horrendous occurrences in the Middle East before voting for a person because of his race, his social-issue promises, or any other rather selfish reasons.
Opinion: Selectively Presidential: Obama Chooses To Be Presidential When It's Convenient
When the storm and its headlines have passed, however, the questions about the Benghazi tragedy should continue full force as November 6 continues to near. During the much-needed questioning and impending investigation, it would be grand if President Obama would remain presidential throughout the process.
Opinion: Benghazi-Gate: Obama's Unconscionable Actions
By now it's obvious that Obama and his administration did not handle the situation correctly. Rather than taking a presidential stance during the horrendous incident, Obama kept his mind and actions on his 2012 reelection campaign and tried to alter the obvious reasons for the deadly attack.
Opinion: No News For Obama
President Obama doesn't want to have to answer the "difficult" questions on the economy, jobs, the turmoil related to America in the Middle East, and more so he avoids solid news programs to go on popular fluff shows to get softball questions.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Wilfredo Tovar plated the most important runs of the game in his major league debut, with his go-ahead single in the seventh helping the New York Mets to a 4-3 victory and a three-game series sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
With runners on second and third and the Mets behind by a run, the rookie shortstop lined a single to left. Juan Lagares scored easily and Anthony Recker came around when Phillies left fielder Domonic Brown mishandled the go- ahead hit.
"I was looking for something inside," Tovar said. "I got it, and I was able to drive in the run."
Lagares added an RBI double in the eighth for insurance before LaTroy Hawkins notched his 12th save with a scoreless ninth. Carlos Torres (4-5) struck out six over six solid innings for New York, scattering seven hits, three walks and two runs to pick up the win.
Brown, Darin Ruf and Kevin Frandsen each knocked in a run for the Phillies, who had removed the interim tag from manager Ryne Sandberg prior to the game and rewarded the skipper with a three-year contract extension.
"It was a good atmosphere for our last (home) game," said Sandberg. "Says a lot for the fans and the fan base."
Cliff Lee (14-7) struck out eight but took the loss, charged with three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits over seven innings of work.
Ruf's sacrifice fly in the eighth brought the Phillies within a run, but they failed to capitalize on their scoring opportunity in the ninth. Frandsen began the frame with his second hit of the game and moved to second after a bunt by Freddy Galvis. However, Hawkins stranded him there, striking out both Cesar Hernandez and Jimmy Rollins to end the game.
Brown scored the first run of the game in the second inning, reaching with a leadoff walk before eventually crossing the plate on Frandsen's two-out double to left center.
The Mets' first two batters of the fourth reached, with Eric Young opening the frame with a single and Wilmer Flores following with a double. Andrew Brown then plated Young with his groundout toward first for a 1-1 tie.
The Phils retook the lead, 2-1, in the sixth. Rollins and Chase Utley opened the frame with a double and single, respectively, before Brown's one-out hit sent the team in front for just a half-inning.
Tovar went 2-for-4 and Lagares ended 3-for-4 ... The Mets were just 2-for-14
with RISP, while the Phils managed three hits in 13 chances with runners in
scoring position ... New York won 10 of 19 meetings with Philadelphia,
including six of nine in the Quaker City.

In everyday life it is so easy to get caught up in the 'doing' of things, the drive to the destination, the achievement of the goal or task. We are so busy doing tasks or thinking about the past or the future, we don't enjoy the experience of now or the life we are spending getting to the outcome we have chosen.
Sometimes we can get so caught up in our thoughts that we miss the whole journey home from the office - we can't remember driving through all the suburbs along the way, stopping at traffic lights or seeing people on the side of the road? In fact, we can't remember anything at all! It's a wonder we even get there safely and sometimes we don't.
The reality is we spend a great deal of our time thinking about the past or the future - planning, worrying about foreseeable problems in our minds and rehashing past regrets that we waste the present moment, the conversation with someone we love, our children showing us their painting or talking about something that is important to them. We miss the sunsets, the smell of the rain, the sound of the birds in the trees outside, the feel of a gentle breeze on our skin. We miss the joy in the journey of life because we are so absorbed in everything but the present moment.
One very simple way while driving to reconnect is to first turn off all the sound (radio, music, etc.) in your vehicle and take time to breath focusing on your breath as thoughts come up just letting them go and refocusing just on your breath. To begin with, you may like to do this just for a few minutes at the beginning and end of your day, maybe just as you wake and as you drift off to sleep.
You will find that stillness and peace can be found in any moment and does not only exist when there is external quiet or calm. You need no props or special places to practice being present in the moment, connecting to your inner peace and stillness. All that is required is a desire to rediscover that place. Give yourself the gift of living in the moment and you will truly discover that the joy is in the journey not the destination.

YIELD: Makes 2 quarts
TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes
- 1 1/4 pound canned clams, minced, juices reserved
- 2-3 cups bottled clam juice
- 2 bacon slices, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 pound potatoes, peeled, diced
- 3 cups heavy cream or half and half
- 6 tablespoons dry sherry, or to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
- Worcestershire sauce, to taste
- Oyster or saltine crackers, as needed
Drain the clam juice from the minced clams and combine with enough bottled juice to equal 3 cups of liquid.
Cook the bacon slowly in a soup pot over medium heat until lightly crisp, about 8 minutes.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 2-3 minutes.
Whisk in the clam juice, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it is too thick, add more clam juice to adjust the consistency. Add the bay leaf and fresh thyme.
Add the potatoes and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the clams and cream in saucepan and simmer together until the clams are cooked, about 5-8 minutes.
When the potatoes are tender, add the clams and cream to the soup base. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the sherry. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Serve in bowls with the crackers on the side.

Gallery: Rustic Lakewood House Has a Solar Screen of Indigenous Logs
The home has a bit of a split personality going on with one facade showcasing a solar screen of indigenous logs and the other speaking to a more modern sensibility. Built to house an extended family, the structure consists of a main house, a guest house, a workshop, a boathouse and smaller outbuildings that all focus toward the sun as they back up to the central drive. The main house's shed roofs overhang well past the glass to make screen porches and keep the hot summer at bay while inviting in warming winter daylight.
The roofs shoulder against north winds to keep the warmth inside, while scattered leaf-like dormers lift skyward luring daylight deep in the interior. The recyclable galvalume roof is white and reflects the summer sun to reduce cooling needs. Runnels channel water through filtering basins below and onto the garden water feature before finally returning it to the lake. Efficiently engineered structural members such as Glulams, LVLs, PSL and TJIs were used extensively to maximize yield in wood products compared with dimensional framing.
The sun's warmth is absorbed in the home's stone fireplace and interior stone walls to radiate heat at night. High-return air registers distribute the natural warmth, along with that of a high-efficiency, wood-burning Russian stove and a soapstone masonry heater that is computer controlled to maximize BTUs and minimize emissions.

The idea I'm proposing is a unified global community; The people we've globally accepted as "The smartest" all proposed it, why not us.
It's generally accepted that we are a divided people, but that's a destructive way to shape our future. In my opinion, a globally unified peoples would be able to conquer the most difficult tasks.
One currency, a balanced economy, a global scientific front, ever moving outwards and thinking ahead to the future of our species. If we were to move into space it would be as a whole people, all endeavoring to push the human race into the stars, to explore what we never have, and find the best for our people. Care for everyone, equally. No more losing a loved one to a curable ailment because you simply can't afford a treatment. No war. That explains itself.
As a global community all of these things are reachable. I implore all of you to expand and reason about this. Thank-you for reading.
Brian Flick
Jun 14 2012: Bravo. I was just thinking about this topic! Although Marco has a good point, but I don't think competition would be erased if there were a unified society. When I do think about this topic, it is hard to imagine the ideals that could be shared by everyone, in order to organize a group of people worldwide. Religion comes to mind, which is not always a good thing considering the things that have been done by these groups to convert people to their way of thinking. But, you make an excellent point; if we were to move into space there would have to be a collective society.
- +1
Just because competition (between countries) got us where we are today, doesn't mean that where we are today is the best of all possible worlds. I won't get into why I think that it is the best of all possible situations. But nonetheless there would actually be more competition between individuals if there were a shared worldview, and more collaboration on important projects. Therefore, we would live in a better place if there were more individuals who wanted to make a difference in the world.
And about the argument that a single government is highly corruptible... That may be true, but there is a way to counteract that built into the idea that no government is more important than the global good. If there were no reason for governments compete, there would be a forced acceptance of a policy of general transparency. No reason to suppress information about politicians or what is being done.
If capitalism prevailed there would be more money in the budget to advance society. Education and Healthcare would benefit immensely, and eventually the population would boom to a point where we would have no choice but to move to space. Even if we somehow managed to cut down on our non-renewable resource intake, it would require a lot more of them, then we already have. Competition for resources is an issue that has caused many wars and smaller scale fights.
"THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS"Jul 4 2012: Excellent points of views. And Brian, yes, I do think collaboration is much better than competition, I am a European citizen and EU is all about collaboration. And like Durão Barroso said recently in the European Parliament, it was Europe's division and the sense of superiority that led to both World Wars, Napoleon Invasion and so on. Those were Europe's darkest times.
It was due to a serious planing, working, commitment and the idea of a united Europe that we as a society made huge progress. But that came at a big cost, and now we are seeing a lot of people realizing them. Lost o sovereignty, yes a country can do it's law, but they can't go against the union programs, and we are getting more and more involved.
A world government would lead to two options:
- A big assembly, like a Parliament, were decision are made at a small pace, and most time do not coincide to the world necessity or,
- A dictatorship, were the power is concentrated in a small group of individuals, who can rule at their own pleasure.
Thank you.
Jul 5 2012: Those two risks are why I think we should explore the emergent properties of a global peer-to-peer network to manage our affairs.
The network can make rapid decisions, but its' lack of central power mitigates against self-interested dictatorship.Jun 25 2012: How about fairer society via leveling the value of contributions of individuals. Check it out here:
http://thenewsocialsecurity.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/the-new-social-security-position-paper/Jun 14 2012: After seeing Jeremy Rifkins TED talk on an empathic civilisation, I started to wonder if a collaborative, rather than competive global civilisation could exist and what changes in society, politics and economics would be required if it were to work.
When I thought about the shifts required, I then started to discover that a lot of them are already happening. There is a lot of evidence for these changes, throughout the TED talks. They do lie, however, in a lot of widely varying areas of life and different disciplines.
I decided that these changes would be more evident if they could be "tagged" in some way as having potential to lead to a cooperative civilisation. I've been pursuing this top in some detail on my blog.
Would appreciate any feedback any feedback, contributions or comments.
In the short term, we only have one finite planet available to us, and our competive growth culture cannot continue if we are to survive as a global connected civilisation.
Taking the extreme long view, movement into space is a necessity for humanity. As Douglas Adams said "We've gotta get off this rock." We just have to survive the short term first!Jun 14 2012: At first your idea looks like a really good one. But what about that thing that made us what we are today. COMPETITION.
Your talking about a world with no competition. And that leads to no innovation, no scientific discoveries.Is that a world were you want to live?
Secondly, a single government is highly corruptible (dictatorship), and again it lacks competition:
- think about Soviet Union, what lead it to the end was not the communist way of thinking, it was because it was alone, for the good or bad decisions, there was no competition. And it ended when it started competing with the US.
- the raise of the west during Industrial Revolution was due to the competing environment of European countries.

529 College Savings Plans
Qualified tuition programs (QTPs) are also called "529 plans." Earnings in a qualified tuition program are tax-free while invested and tax exempt when withdrawn for qualified higher education expenses. The earnings portion of a non-qualified distributions is subject to tax as well as a 10 percent additional tax. Detail on Minnesota individual income tax treatment of qualified tuition programs is available from the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
Qualified Tuition Program
Qualified tuition programs are programs maintained by states and education institutions that allow you to either prepay a student's tuition or contribute to an account established for paying a student's qualified higher education expenses. The state of Minnesota has a Qualified Tuition Program, the Minnesota College Savings Plan. To learn about the Minnesota College Savings Plan and download or request enrollment materials, visit www.mnsaves.org.
The beneficiary is the student (or future student) for whom the qualified tuition program is intended to provide benefits.
Transfer of Amounts or Change of Beneficiaries
Federal law permits amounts in a qualified tuition program to be transferred to another qualified tuition program and changes in beneficiaries so long as the new beneficiary is a family member.
Federal law permits a 529 plan account owner to rebalance, or transfer, assets among investment options in an account once per calendar year.
Contributions to a qualified tuition program on behalf of any beneficiary cannot be more than the amount necessary to provide for the qualified higher education expenses of the beneficiary. States vary in the amount you may contribute. For example, the maximum account balance for the Minnesota College Savings Plan is $350,000.
Qualified Education Expenses
Qualified higher education expenses are tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible education institution. Qualified expenses include room and board for a beneficiary enrolled at least half time.
Eligible Educational Institutions
Eligible educational institutions are any college, university, vocational school or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in student aid programs administered by the United States Department of Education.
Coordination with Other Tax Benefits for Higher Education
The student or student's parents who use a qualified tuition program to finance a student's higher education may be eligible to claim either the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. You can make contributions to Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESA) and QTPs in the same year for the same beneficiary.
For additional information on Qualified Tuition Programs, see Internal Revenue Service Publication 970 and the Minnesota College Savings Plan.

Outside of Rio de Janeiro, on a beautiful little beach with amazing blue water, sits a little house with a flowering roof that shades and protects like a big tropical banana leaf. Designed by Mareines + Patalano, the open air abode is meant to encourage interaction and connection between man and nature. With verandas and open spaces in between rooms and no corridors, the tropical beach house is an ideal place for social gatherings and parties. The open layout also takes advantage of trade winds that blow in from the sea, providing natural ventilation and passive cooling.
The architects describe their design as low-tech eco-efficient, due to the use of natural ventilation for cooling. Homes in the tropics rarely need much more than a breeze in order to keep the environment comfortable. As for other sustainable design techniques, the roof harvests rainwater for use in the house, and the interior is naturally finished with wood, stone and natural fabrics. We suspect the wood was harvested locally, and can only hope it was done so in a sustainable fashion.
Above all the Leaf House is amazing inspiration for organic design that brings the outdoors in. It protects the inhabitants from rain and sun, while bringing in fresh breezes to cool the interior. The design was originally inspired by Brazil's Indian Architecture, which used local materials to provide shade, protection and encourage natural breezes for cooling.

Bob Stoops says he loves his job at No. 12 Oklahoma and intends to stay put.
It's become an annual rite for Stoops' name to surface as a potential candidate when coaching jobs open up across the country. With several high-profile vacancies, Stoops was asked Monday about his name being connected to the opening at Tennessee.
Stoops' response was: "I like the job I have. I love the job I have and the people I work for, so I'll try and keep it another year."
The 52-year-old Stoops is in his 14th season coaching the Sooners (9-2, 7-1 Big 12). He suggested he's interested in coaching as long as his former boss, 67-year-old Steve Spurrier.

The Elkers are hoping one year won't make too much of a difference.
Last season, the Ridgway boys' varsity basketball team played their way to an amazing 29-2 season, a journey highlighted by several pivotal moments: a 45-38 win Dec. 30, 2011 over Johnsonburg to win the county's holiday basketball tournament; a 49-46 win Feb. 18 over the Rams to win the Allegheny Mountain League [AML] crown; and a 40-37 win March 3 against the Rams in Clarion to earn the District 9 Class title.
With favorable seeding in the state playoffs as a district champion, the Elkers rolled through the first three rounds of the state tournament, earning a 48-40 win March 9 over Sewickley Academy, a 73-50 win March 13 over Kennedy Catholic, and a 58-51 win March 16 in the quarterfinals against VisionQuest.

of global communications CEOs plan to initiate either a domestic or cross-border M&A in the coming 12 months.
Use the data explorer to browse through additional industry data.
Communications CEOs remain confident about the next 12 months despite the world's economic challenges. They are hopeful about their company's prospects for growth, are active in the M&A space, and are focused on how to make their customers happy. What else did they tell us?
Confidence in their company's potential for revenue growth
88% of Communications CEOs are very confident or somewhat confident about the revenue growth their companies will generate over the coming year.
Mergers and acquisitions are a key agenda item
61% of Communications CEOs plan to complete a domestic or cross-border M&A in the next 12 months. This follows on an active previous 12 months where 53% of Communications CEOs said they initiated a new strategic alliance or joint venture.
Customer is king
When asked about their priorities for the next 12 months, 47% of Communications CEOs said that they are focused on improving customer service and growing their customer base. The same percentage (47%) indicated that they anticipate a major change when it comes to customer growth, retention, and loyalty strategies.
Concerned about the global economy
Fifty percent of Communications CEOs are concerned about the global economy and 53% say they expect no improvement in the economy over the next 12 months.
"If I look at the half-life of technological change, it's got shorter and shorter and we have to run faster all the time to retain a competitive position."
"We take disaster recovery not as a box that you tick, in terms of doing your risk assessments, but as a real risk."
"We're forever reaching deeper into consumers' homes. So we are developing innovations around smart living and integrating services within the consumer's home. We diversified from traditional telecoms into pay TV and entertainment, into music. Now we're diversifying into health services at home, into education services at home and being the IT manager at home. These are the ways that we shore up our revenue and growth possibilities."
"We have had to learn who our customers are, what their propensity to spend is, what their likes and dislikes are. So we are changing all of our customer relationship systems to better understand and serve the customer."
"A significant portion of our investment aims to ensure the stable operation of our networks and backup facilities, and eliminate the potential threat of cyber attacks. We see cyber attack as a credible business threat, but do not treat it as a global one similar to an adverse, large scale economic challenge."
