"In Memory of All That Is Lost." By Amy Goodman
NEW ORLEANS—The anger is palpable across the Mississippi Delta. As the Deepwater Horizon oil geyser, almost a mile underwater, continues unabated, the brunt of this, the largest environmental catastrophe in United States history, is rolling onto the coast, impacting the ecology, the economy and entire ways of life.
Interview: At Least 15 Dead After Israel Attacks Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla
Israeli forces have attacked a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza strip. Dubbed the Freedom Flotilla, the ships were aiming to break Israel's 3-year blockade of Gaza. At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured when Israeli troops attacked the lead ship in the convoy–the Turkish "Mavi Marmara"–early Monday morning. The attack happened in international waters, 75 miles off the coast of Israel and Gaza. We reached Adam Shapiro in New York a few hours after the attack. He's a board member of the Free Gaza movement, one of the groups that coordinated the Freedom Flotilla. His wife Huwaida Arraf is the chairperson of the Free Gaza movement and is on the flotilla.

Audio From 1998: Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) Hangs Up On Amy Goodman When Asked If He Has Ever Had An Affair
Earlier today Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) resigned his House seat after acknowledging he had an affair with a female staffer. Long an advocate for "family values," Souder called for former President Bill Clinton to resign over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. On Sept. 17, 1998, during the Clinton impeachment scandal, Democracy Now! invited Rep. Souder and Rep. Bill McCollum (R-FL) (who is now running for governor in Florida) to discuss by phone a recent House vote on combating drugs. In the spirit of the times, Amy Goodman asked both men if they have ever had extramarital affairs. McCollum said "I am not, and, uh.. in, at this present time involved in anything whatsoever, have not been." When Souder was asked, he hung up the phone.

What started as a normal trip to take his stepdaughter to a friend's house turned into much more for John Clark.

Members of the Washington County Heartland Youth Coalition were out kicking butts and taking names Saturday morning as part of Kick Butts Day 2009. It was a single-day event designed to promote smoking cessation along with drug and alcohol abuse prevention.
Sun Sports Writer
This past weekend, the Washington County Commanders swept the competition at the Chandler Classic to win the tourney with a 9-3 first round win over Simon Kenton and then pummeling Burgin 15-7 for the title.
It was a return to form for the WC squad as they won three of their last four to improve to 6-5 on the season.
If you have been trying to garden lately, you know that the cool wet spring so far is slowing us down as well as our plants. Don't complain though. Just as easy as the rains are coming now, it could soon stop for a long hot summer, so let's just enjoy the rain while we have it. Who knows, we might even get rain for the entire growing season!
Daniel Murphy, grandson of Springfield resident Ann Murphy, recently celebrated his 24th birthday on April 1. But you could say he didn't celebrate until he smacked his first home run of the season on Opening Day against the Reds in Cincinnati.
He also added an RBI on a bases-loaded fielder's choice that knocked in the second and deciding run for the Mets as they beat the Reds 2-1 on April 6.
"It's the little things." You hear that cliché all the time, but for the Washington County Commanderettes, it happens to be true. Little things like missing a tag or cut-off here and there are adding up to big trouble for ladies.
The team is off to an 0-4 start after dropping home games against Campbellsville and being no-hit by Nelson County last week.
SCC Sports Information
The St. Catharine College Patriots played seven baseball games last week, five of those being Mid-South Conference games. And when the dust had settled, Luther Bramblett found his team with a 5-2 overall record for the week with a 4-1 slate in conference play.
For the second consecutive week the St. Catharine College baseball and softball teams are ranked number one nationally in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association. With a total of 222 points in the poll the baseball Patriots are 11 points ahead of Columbia Union College. The softball team's first place lead was narrowed but they still hold a first place ranking with 156 points to defending national champion St. Mary of the Woods' who has 149 points.
In a tournament hosted by the University of the Cumberlands last Monday and Tuesday at Crooked Creek Golf Course, the St. Catharine College men's team finished 16th in the 20 team field. The Patriots had a 36-hole total of 648 (320-328). Malone College won the tournament with a 585 total.

On the Rush, November 2014
Welcome to the first edition of On the Rush for the 2014-15 season. For those unfamiliar, On the Rush focuses on prospects at various levels of competition who exceeded expectations or fell behind a bit in the past month.
Team Rankings: Deep pool of Winnipeg Jets prospects lead middle group
Below is the 11-20 segment of the Hockey's Future 2014-15 Fall NHL team rankings. The teams are ranked in terms of the quality of their overall prospect pool as voted on by members of the HF staff. For reference purposes, just the top five prospects are listed. To be eligible, a prospect must meet HF's prospect criteria. The ranking is done twice a year, in the Fall and Spring. Each team's rank from the previous rankings is listed in parentheses.
Depth at Center remains strength of Vancouver Canucks system
With the Vancouver Canucks entering something of a mini-rebuild, they have built up a pipeline of extremely talented young centers that are nearly on the cusp of being ready for the NHL. While the NHL squad's top talent is slowly aging and settling more into the latter stages of their careers, the Canucks have many players who are going to be considered cornerstones of the franchise waiting just on the other side.

It's hard to see USC-UNC turning into a football rivalry
The season-opening college football game between South Carolina and North Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia still is more than three months away.
However, the two teams made news last week by setting up another meeting in 2015 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
For two programs that have met only 11 times since the Gamecocks left the SEC in 1970, is this a budding rivalry?
For those who wish for that to happen, don't get your hopes up.
In the current landscape of college football, change blows like the wind. There's something new coming from every direction.
Is it kind of cool that two of the biggest schools in the Palmetto and Tar Heel states will come together twice in the next three years? Sure.
It will bring back some old memories for those who cheered against each other nearly 50 years ago.
And there's nothing wrong with nostalgia. But for the new-school USC followers, UNC is known much more for its basketball.
It obviously has some interesting recruiting aspects as well.
Steve Spurrier enjoys that North Carolina pipeline; 14 Gamecocks on the 2013 roster hail from the Tar Heel State.
And, of course, Spurrier will love the chances to improve upon his 4-0 record against UNC; he coached at Duke in the late 1980s.
Tar Heel coach Larry Fedora also will get a couple more shots at the Gamecocks.
He talked a big game about beating USC when he was at Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles took on Spurrier in Columbia in 2010, but Fedora left there with a 41-13 defeat.
So, I get it. There are plenty of interesting storylines.
That doesn't, however, constitute a "rivalry."
I recently asked some colleagues if they could consider these two programs rivals.
They took some time to ponder the question. One eventually said no. Another really never gave an answer, which in itself was the answer.
For the Gamecocks, the 2013 meeting is more about the return game they thought they would never get.
After USC beat UNC 21-15 in Chapel Hill in 2007, the Tar Heels were supposed to show up in Columbia in 2010. But UNC got out of the deal in order to open the season against LSU on primetime in the Georgia Dome.
It obviously was a better deal for North Carolina, and who wouldn't try to opt out for something like that?
But it stayed in the minds of many folks at South Carolina.
The fans finally will get their wish Aug. 29.
But what about that 2015 game? Will it really generate major interest?
Having a press conference last week to announce a game two years from now surely didn't create monumental buzz.
The truth is, playing at the home of the Panthers isn't really all that special. USC opened the 2011 season there against East Carolina, and both teams will do it again next year.
What little novelty there is about playing in a pro stadium these days has certainly worn off.
It's hard to think there's anything program changing about another meeting.
If the SEC goes to a nine-game schedule, USC won't be looking to keep this thing going anyway.
The game at the end of South Carolina's season against another ACC school always will be the one that holds the most weight.
Playing the Tar Heels is just another game on the schedule.

As a bull on the reflation trade for most of this year (started in earnest when Bernanke ramped up QE on March 18th when the FOMC announced they were going to start buying US Treasuries as I thought the Fed will now stop at nothing to create inflation), I'm now wondering whether Bernanke's comments about…Read More

Chairman Ben S. Bernanke
At the Economic Club of New York, New York, New York
November 16, 2009
On the Outlook for the Economy and Policy
When I last spoke at the Economic Club of New York a little more than a year ago, the financial crisis had just taken a much more virulent turn. In my remarks at that time, I described the extraordinary actions that policymakers around the globe were taking to address the crisis, and I expressed optimism that we had the tools necessary to stabilize the system.
Today, financial conditions are considerably better than they were then, but significant economic challenges remain. The flow of credit remains constrained, economic activity weak, and unemployment much too high. Future setbacks are possible. Nevertheless, I think it is fair to say that policymakers' forceful actions last fall, and others that followed, were instrumental in bringing our financial system and our economy back from the brink. The stabilization of financial markets and the gradual restoration of confidence are in turn helping to provide a necessary foundation for economic recovery. We are seeing early evidence of that recovery: Real gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States rose an estimated 3-1/2 percent at an annual rate in the third quarter, following four consecutive quarters of decline. Most forecasters anticipate another moderate gain in the fourth quarter.
How the economy will evolve in 2010 and beyond is less certain. On the one hand, those who see further weakness or even a relapse into recession next year point out that some of the sources of the recent pickup–including a reduced pace of inventory liquidation and limited-time policies such as the "cash for clunkers" program–are likely to provide only temporary support to the economy. On the other hand, those who are more optimistic point to indications of more fundamental improvements, including strengthening consumer spending outside of autos, a nascent recovery in home construction, continued stabilization in financial conditions, and stronger growth abroad.
My own view is that the recent pickup reflects more than purely temporary factors and that continued growth next year is likely. However, some important headwinds–in particular, constrained bank lending and a weak job market–likely will prevent the expansion from being as robust as we would hope. I'll discuss each of these problem areas in a bit more detail and then end with some further comments on the outlook for the economy and for policy.
Bank Lending and Credit Availability
I began today by alluding to the unprecedented financial panic that last fall brought a number of major financial institutions around the world to failure or the brink of failure. Policymakers in the United States and abroad deployed a number of tools to stem the panic. The Federal Reserve sharply increased its provision of short-term liquidity to financial institutions, the U.S. Treasury injected capital into banks, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) guaranteed bank liabilities. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury each took measures to stop a run on money market mutual funds that began when a leading fund was unable to pay off its investors at par value. Throughout the fall and early this year, a range of additional initiatives were required to stabilize major financial firms and markets, both here and abroad.1
The ultimate purpose of financial stabilization, of course, was to restore the normal flow of credit, which had been severely disrupted. The Federal Reserve did its part by creating new lending programs to support the functioning of some key credit markets, such as the market for commercial paper–which is used to finance businesses' day-to-day operations–and the market for asset-backed securities–which helps sustain the flow of funding for auto loans, small-business loans, student loans, and many other forms of credit; and we continued to ensure that financial institutions had adequate access to liquidity. Additionally, we supported private credit markets and helped lower rates on mortgages and other loans through large-scale asset purchases, including purchases of debt and mortgage-backed securities issued or backed by government-sponsored enterprises.
Partly as the result of these and other policy actions, many parts of the financial system have improved substantially. Interbank and other short-term funding markets are functioning more normally; interest rate spreads on mortgages, corporate bonds, and other credit products have narrowed significantly; stock prices have rebounded; and some securitization markets have resumed operation. In particular, borrowers with access to public equity and bond markets, including most large firms, now generally are able to obtain credit without great difficulty. Other borrowers, such as state and local governments, have experienced improvement in their credit access as well.
However, access to credit remains strained for borrowers who are particularly dependent on banks, such as households and small businesses. Bank lending has contracted sharply this year, and the Federal Reserve's Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices shows that banks continue to tighten the terms on which they extend credit for most kinds of loans–although recently the pace of tightening has slowed somewhat. Partly as a result of these pressures, household debt has declined in recent quarters for the first time since 1951. For their part, many small businesses have seen their bank credit lines reduced or eliminated, or they have been able to obtain credit only on significantly more restrictive terms.2 The fraction of small businesses reporting difficulty in obtaining credit is near a record high, and many of these businesses expect credit conditions to tighten further.

A summary of the movements of major global stock markets for the past week and various other measurement periods is given in the table below. With the exception of only a few indices – notably the Japanese Nikkei Dow that recorded a third consecutive down week – most global stock markets made headway last week, adding to the gains for the month.

Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, is expected to retire by April 2014, according to U.S. officials cited in a Reuters report. Alexander's deputy John "Chris" Inglis is also expected to leave by the end of this year.
The news comes amid a continuing drumbeat of stories about electronic spying and data collection programs carried out by the NSA, with the cooperation from leading Internet and telecommunications companies, as revealed in documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Alexander continues to defend NSA data collection, including bulk collection of metadata on domestic phone calls. "It's in the nation's best interest to put the phone data into a repository that the American public knows what we're doing with," Alexander said at a recent cybersecurity event covered by FCW. "I'm open for transparency. I'm open for where we put the data. ... How do we ensure that the American people know what we're doing is exactly right without letting the terrorists know how to circumvent it? That's the real issue."
During his term as head of Cyber Command, Alexander has called on Congress to pass legislation to allow for real-time information sharing between government and private-sector operators of critical infrastructure. The threat of cyberattack, Alexander told a Senate committee in March, is "getting worse."
Alexander has been NSA chief for eight years. His departure would give President Barack Obama an opportunity to select a candidate to lead the spy agency, and possibly to separate the roles of NSA head and leader of Cyber Command.
Vice Adm. Mike Rogers, who heads the 10th Fleet and the U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, is a potential successor to replace Alexander, according to the Reuters report.

Staying with Ingrid and Frank seemed more like visiting friends than just choosing another accommodation while in a city far from home. All that one could ask for was provided, and at a reasonable price. The maritime theme of the house certainly fit. Even for those without a car, it was still very easy to commute to or from Hamburg at whatever time one wished. Absolutely would stay again!

Hi there.....my wife and I stayed with Ingrid , Frank and Tinka.....it was such a wonderful experience. We stayed in the New York room and it was so comfortable and homely. The hospitality, warmth and the welcome feeling bestowed on us was as if we were family visiting. We are hopeful of returning to Wedel one day and would definitely book with Ingrid, Frank and Tinka. Nothing was too much trouble. We were on holidays from Australia and not only enjoyed Wedel but also Germany...very impressed. Jeff and Elizabeth Both from Wartook Victoria.

We are an Australian couple and spent 4 nights in the New Yoork room while we went shopping for a motor home. Wedel proved to be a great little village and we had a some memorable meals in the local restaurants. Ingrid and Frank were really helpful with our search for a vehicle. We appreciated the terrific free Internet service and fabulous breakfasts. We would recommend this B and B to anyone.

We stayed four nights in June, 2011. We are a family with a teenager so the New York room was good for us. The home is very comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious and the village of Wedel is so picturesque. Ingrid and Frank both provided good tips on local places to visit and eat. We loved the German breakfast every morning - (still cannot find the same quality of bread here in the U.S.) Highly recommend this B&B - The Hanna family, San Jose, California

We have visit Ingrid´s Bed & Breakfast for two nights in July, we are two adults with two teenage girls.

We can absolutely rekommend this B&B for other guests. /Madeleine Ardell Sweden

Ingrid's Bed and Breakfast is a really great place to stay. We stayed four nights and were made to feel very welcome by hosts Ingrid and Frank and dog Tinka!. The New York suite was warm and spacious and absolutely spotless. Ingrid's Bed and Breakfast is in a quiet location but very handy to Wedel's main shopping area and only a few minutes' walk to the S-Bahn station. A short walk in the opposite direction is the Elbe River. Every morning a wonderful German breakfast awaited us! We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Wedel. We would heartily recommend Ingrid's Bed and Breakfast. Rose and Ross, Auckland New Zealand

It's Fri...no Saturday.
I had thought I'd be working,
no, "temping" according to Dewey Finn,
no, "subbing" according to Ned Schneebly,
whatever it is, less since it's been in short supply due to state testing. That didn't mean teachers didn't get sick. I wound up getting called in and rushing out more often than not this week.
I planned on having my website (the real website, not the blog) up this weekend with all kinds of fun things to buy and fondle. um...not. It will be up soon. I'll also have other retail outlets for fun stuff and you'll see those there. Let's just say this: I'm thrilled to be a little involved again; a little more balanced. I've spent the last five years consumed by other, sometimes pleasant and sometimes not so pleasant, things. It's about freakin' time.
So, keep looking on the right panel or at my good-stuff website. Won't be long now!
In the meantime, a couple photos for your amusement...
This is absolutely scrumptious BFL from Amy at Spunky Eclectic. oooohhhhmmmmmmm
It's exhausting being a big, fluffy luv muffin, dahling.

Toledo wins opener, topples Northern Arizona 71-58
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Nathan Boothe rarely missed as Toledo pulled away from Northern Arizona for a 71-58 win in its season opener Sunday. The Toledo post was 7 of 9 from the field and was perfect (1-1) from long range and the free throw line (4-4) while pulling down a half-dozen rebounds.

The Tide finished at 46-over par 898 on the weekend, 36 shots behind tournament champion Duke. Senior Stephanie Meadow led the way for Alabama, carding a 2-over 73. Her three day total of 2-under par 212 tied Vanderbilt's Simin Feng and Arizona State's Noemi Jimenez for third place.
Alabama is off until April 4, when it travels to Athens, Ga., to compete in Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic at the University of Georgia Golf Club.
