Skip to comments.Jewish Donors Outraged by 'Sociopath' Obama, Says Columnist
Posted on 05/12/2010 9:56:23 AM PDT by Nachum
If senior journalist David Goldman is right, the correct word for describing the way a growing number of US Jews feel about President Barack Obama is not 'anger' but 'rage' white-hot rage, at that, and a conviction that they have been swindled.
Goldman, Senior Editor of First Things magazine and 'Spengler' columnist for Asia Times Online, spoke last week at a convention on intellectuals and terror at Ariel University in Samaria. In his lecture, he quoted a top Jewish campaign donor who used the word 'sociopath' to describe Obama. In an interview with Israel National News, he predicted a possibly dramatic 'train wreck' for the Democrats in the November mid-term elections, with Jewish fundraising for Democrats drying up and a possibly high turnout of anti-Obama evangelical Christians.

Excellent news!
Spengler identified?! I thought he was deliberately keeping under cover.
A. weakened America...or some combination of the above.
B. strengthened islam
C. attacked Israel
Can you cite something -anything- of substance that hes done that doesnt fit A, B and/or C?
Any bets he still gets 90%+ of the Jewish vote in the next election? Sadly, for way to many secular Jews, Republican = Hitler no matter who the Dems run or what they do after they get into office.
We'll see in Nov. My guess is they are sill stuck on stupid. A habit is a hard thing to change.
Peel a liberal. Find an America hating, God hating, baby murdering, family hating, faggot loving con artist.
Let's hope they wake up
American Jews voted 78% for 0bama.
Why any of them would have buyer's remorse is beyond me. Everything about 0bama was easy to see.
No hindsight is needed, especially among liberals on this. What's the matter? Is 0bama not liberal enough for even them?
If the topic is psychology, I think many Jews (and others) who supported Obama in the first place should examine whatever made them do so.
Actually, it was 78%.
That said, these people are freaking idiots. They'll vote for him again, overwhelmingly.
97% of the black voters voted for ZERO..
Merely 3% were SMART...
Well, they need to start switching their allegiences now — in time for the 2010 elections in Nov. The only way to curtail the megalomanaical monster in the WH is to take away his Congress. That means vote R, even if you never have before and you are unsure.
"Jewish Donors Outraged by 'Sociopath' Obama"
F**K 'em. They wanted that socialist, muslim bass turd in office, they GOT IT.
Reap it ya liberal azzholes.
Hey Jews, you swindled yourselves, Obama's Sociopathy was there for all to see but you were blinded by the desire to viewed as intellectual, hip, cool, and liberal. Fools!
"...they have been swindled."
How can a Jew get swindled by a man named Hussein?
Clever my ass.
Know who you are voting for! Everything we now know about Obama, we knew before the election.
Yep. Sociopath is a accurate description of 0, among other things.
Thank God! Kapos within this anti-semitic regime must be outed and named. Exposure, exposure, exposure is what these psychopaths fear the most.
The problem is that they're not "reaping it" alone. We're all suffering this megalomanic loony in the WH.
If they're changing their minds, that's a good thing. We need all the help we can get.
To the Landsmann: Caveat Emptor.
Spengler revealed his identity a few months (or maybe a year) ago. He was actually even on a TV interview program a few weeks back.
You cannot cheat an honest man...............
I think Spengler revealed his name when he joined First Things.
This is good news, if true. But I suspect there are still a lot of leftist secular Jews who would follow Obama right up to the end. I hope some of those guys are getting the clue.
Like this guy.
LOL...but when they walk into the voting booth they'll not be able to pull any other level exc. the one marked 'D'. Jews aren't the only ones in this boat. Sadly the American electorate is grossly ignorant about the issues, their country and govt. Perhaps when there's no more American Idol et al they'll use the extra time to bone up on what they've ignored for so long. Then again maybe not.
"Sadly, for way to many secular Jews, Republican = Hitler"
I thought Jews were an educated people. Didn't they ever learn why nazis are called "Nazis" (hint: it's not because they're capitalists).
Obama's philosophy may vary from Hitler's on the fine details but anyone who can't see that Obama covets the power Hitler had is blind!
The only hope for men of faith is a limited and controllable government. Government did not create us and cannot be allowed to own us.
Certainly a contradiction...
"anti-Obama evangelical Christians" I still think statements phrased like this give too much power to Obama. It should be anti-progressive evangelical Christians. They're soon to find out I just won't make a good slave.
Jews are less than 2% of US voters.
He did choose a dog - his one non-evil act of the last sixteen terrible months.
Sorry, not buying this at all.
Fails the 'of substance' test. I added that after I got tired of hearing about the damm dog!
After I re-read that paragraph it sounded like multiple people might have been "Spengler." Despite all the stuff I read here & see on Fox, there's still so much I miss!
"The Great Schlep"
I can see how the holocaust happened. They are pretty slow learners.
As a voting block Jews are inexblicably stupid.
They only just figured that out?
20 years in the church of arch anti-semite and race hate peddler, Jeremiah Wright never gave them a hint that 0bama was nuts?
were you really swindled if you were just too stupid to notice what was readily apparent and painfully obvious to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention?
When I see the larger enclaves of American Judaism (NY and Cleveland spring immediately to mind) start to throw out the leftist scumbags in November, then MAYBE I'll start to believe this headline.
Until then, I'll remain skeptical about the self-loathing lemmings that make the world difficult for the 20% of Jewish-Americans that still have the ability to do critical thinking.
I believe the appropriate term is "fudge packing".
The beehive mentality might be good for some things but it seems to lead down a dangerous path.
If one paid attention, it was quite clear who 0 was and what he stood for despite the compliant press and phony "moderate" act he put on during the campaign.
Jews who supported 0 chose to delude themselves.
I have no sympathy. In fact I have antipathy.
Reap the whirlwind.
The modern equivalent of Germany's Nazi party is not the wealth-redistributing, industry-nationalizing, government-expanding deficit-spending Jew haters in our White House and the majority party in Congress. Today's equivalent is the freedom-loving small-government Tea Party conservative who is indifferent to diversity and judges others by the shockingly racist standard of the content of their character and not by the more politically correct standard of the color of their skin.

in Paris
President Jacques Chirac, in a drive to set a new tone for his government and dispel the aura of sleaze that attended the last years of the Mitterrand regime, has given his ministers clear instructions about cutting costs and reducing the trappings of power. The watchwords, he told the 42 members of the new government at their inaugural meeting on Saturday, were ``rigour, coherence, simplicity, efficiency''.
Promising to start from the top, Mr Chirac abolished the fleet of six planes and two helicopters on permanent stand-by for the use of the President and ministers. In future, ministers must charter an aircraft commercially or take a regular flight.
They will keep their cars and drivers, but may not use sirens or flashing lights to carve through traffic and will have to obey the highway code, including stopping at red lights. Mr Chirac's observance of this new standard on his way to the airport for his Strasbourg trip last week was widely approved by the French media.
Ministers have also been told that as public figures they should set an example by eschewing high living at public expense. (When Mr Chirac and his Prime Minister, Alain Juppe, lunched the menu was simple and there was a vase of flowers where the bottle of wine would have been.)
Mr Chirac is also to slash the number of public sector and university appointments in the gift of the President , and the personal staffs of ministers are to be restricted.
Existing curbs on ministers and public officials switching into lucrative directorships of public and private industry are to be tightened up and enforced. A requirement introduced by the former prime minister, Edouard Balladur, will remain: that any minister charged with a criminal offence must resign.
The measures announced by Mr Chirac, and endorsed by Mr Juppe, are an attempt to reduce the widespread contempt for the ``political classes'' - a phenomenon repeatedly observed by Mr Chirac during his election campaign - and to pave the way for probably painful cost-cutting measures to tackle the 300bn franc budget deficit.
The deficit, or rather the public spending causing it, is to be the subject of a comprehensive review. Tomorrow, Mr Juppe will outline his programme to combat unemployment, expected to include an increase in VAT, if not other tax increases.
However, Mr Chirac has failed to tackle the "accumulation of mandates" - a practice which seems to foster corruption, with individuals holding local, national and party posts concurrently. Mr Juppe is standing for election as mayor of Bordeaux and intends to stay as chairman of the RPR party.

New data shows that Chicago's black and poor students' test scores are falling further behind their white and wealthier counterparts.
for 21 new privately run charter schools in Chicago could cost city taxpayers at least $225 million over
the next decade, according to a financial analysis issued Wednesday by Communities
United for Quality Education.
Next year alone, the proposed
charters could come with $21 million in extra costs, according to the
education coalition of parents and community members. The group argues
that Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has been less than transparent about
the added expenses associated with the new schools as well as how the district plans to pay for them.
Among other concerns, the activists fear that traditional neighborhood
schools would see their budgets slashed, again, in order to cover the added
costs, including heating and air conditioning fees, principal salary
payments and start-up expenses. The Chicago Board of Education is expected to take up CPS' recommendations for the new charters at its January meeting.
is not properly funding schools that exist right now," stressed Jennie
Biggs of the Raise Your Hand education coalition and Bridgeport Alliance. "How will schools survive and thrive when there's
more schools but no extra resources? In financial terms, adding charters
into our school system will be a destructive move."
With various groups delivering petitions to the Chicago Board of Elections this week, Chicagoans are continuing their call for two referendums to be added to the March 18 ballot. The non-binding referendums focus on the minimum wage and future of a Logan Square neighborhood school.
In the ongoing fight to increase the minimum wage, a coalition of Chicago families and groups, including Action Now, the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, Grassroots Collaborative, ONE Northside, and SEIU* Healthcare Illinois Indiana, delivered petitions to the board of elections demanding that the city establish its own minimum wage.
"I support raising the minimum wage in Chicago for low-wage workers because we are not invisible. We will not stand by and let our elected officials maintain the status quo," said Carlos Navarro, a retired Marine veteran and a ONE Northside leader living in Chicago's 46th Ward. "I'm tired of seeing families in my community struggle to get by on poverty wages and I am confident this referendum will show the Chicago City Council that there is a need to raise the minimum wage to a fair and living wage."
Some parents and education activists say the Chicago Public Schools' expanded Safe Passage program that launched this year has been working well to keep students safe. But others argue that the program is simply a "roll of the dice" when it comes to young people's safety.
Progress Illinois provides some highlights from Wednesday's Chicago City Council meeting.
Teachers in the Mount Olive School District are on strike for a second day, and it is unclear as to when the walkout may come to an end.
A few hundred public education activists took to City Hall and the
Thompson Center Monday evening to deliver their holiday list of demands
as well as lumps of coal and candy canes to the offices of naughty and nice elected officials. Progress Illinois was there for the protest.
The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district plans to make computer science a core subject; currently, it is an elective course option available for students.

NOFA-NH Farmer Field Day & Farmer Mixer at Benedikt Dairy
Event Time & Price
|Jun 25, 2014
|6:00pm - 9:00pm
Event Location
Benedikt Dairy
97 Shirley Hill Road
Goffstown NH 03045
From four cows and a short term lease on six acres, to twenty cows, secure land tenure, a Grade A organic dairy processing facility, and a viable business in three years. How did the farmers at Benedikt Dairy do it? At this field day, Melissa and Max will share the tools they've used, what they've learned about pasture and animal health, and the perspectives they gained in the process. Join NOFA-NH and Granite State Graziers on this multi-faceted tour of a beginning pastured, organic dairy operation.
Immediately following the tour, stay with us for local food and beverages, music and mixing and mingling. The mixer portion of this event is part of a series of farmer events NOFA-NH has been hosting with partners around the state. The series, called Focus on Farmers, has been made possible by a grant awarded to NOFA-NH in 2013 by the Thomas W. Haas Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
The goal of the Focus on Farmers Project is to get local farmers together to network and talk about shared challenges and goals. Each event is tailored to the interests of the farmers in that region. We hope the result will be improved collaboration between farms, and perhaps some new joint projects to improve individual farm successes, which of course means improved agricultural successes as a region and state.
PLEASE RSVP below so we can have an accurate count for food and beverages!
Scholarships are available to beginning farmers. Click here to apply!

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
As the "Harry Potter" franchise so amply proved, the world loves a good
fairy tale. "Snow White and the Huntsman," a darker and more violent
rendering of the classic storybook saga pushed "Men in Black 3" from the
top of the box office charts, adding some pizzazz to a rather
lackluster early summer movie season.
Moviegoers saw white this past weekend with "Snow White and the Huntsman," a darker and more action-packed version of the classic fairy tale.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Movies
Keywords: Snow White and the Huntsman, box office, Men in Black 3, fairy tales
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "Snow White" grabbing $56.3 million in its first weekend. The film also collected an additional $39.3 million in 45 international markets where it also opened this weekend.
In this version of the tale, the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron) discovers a maiden (Kristen Stewart) in the land fairer than she, but the queen doesn't know that the maiden has been training in the art of war with the huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) sent to kill her.
The success of "Snow White" was able to take away some of the sting associated with the failure of Universal Pictures' "Battleship," also distributed by Universal, and Warner Bros' vampire film "Dark Shadows," both of which fell by the wayside on account of the superhero opus "The Avengers."
"I'm very happy about it. The uniqueness of the campaign from the get-go made (the film) stand out as not just the quintessential fairy tale; it was telling a very different story," Nikki Rocco, president of domestic distribution at Universal Pictures says.
"Men in Black 3," which opened last week, collected $29.3 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters to fall to the No. 2 position on U.S. and Canadian box office charts.
Adding to the film's favor is the fact that "Snow White and the Huntsman," stars Kristen Stewart from the box office hit "The Twilight Saga" vampire films, Oscar-winner Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth from "The Avengers," the movie is the second film this year inspired by the classic fairy tale.
"Mirror Mirror," starring Julia Roberts as the evil queen released in March, failed to gain large audiences with $18 million on its first weekend and $62 million in domestic ticket sales.
Producers of that film rushed to beat "Snow White and the Huntsman" to the screen, changing their opening date from June to March.
"The filmmakers, producers and the talent knew how different this film would be. We had no concern whatsoever," Rocco says. "Mirror Mirror" was . targeted to little girls. They tried to make a comedy of it. That's not what we were intending to do."
"Snow White," made for $170 million, needed $42 million in ticket sales over the weekend to break-even.
A film generally completes its run with three times its opening weekend gross, and its studio gets about half the ticket sales revenue. A film also generates revenue from home video and other sales after its theatrical run.
The top ten movies this past weekend went like this:
1. "Snow White and the Huntsman," $56 million
2. "Men in Black III," $29.30 million
3. "The Avengers," $20.27 million
4. "Battleship," $4.81 million
5. "The Dictator," $4.73 million
6. "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," $4.60 million
7. "What to Expect When You're Expecting," $4.43 million
8. "Dark Shadows," $3.86 million
9. "Chernobyl Diaries," $3.05 million
10. "For Greater Glory," $1.80 million

It was the goat that gave it away.
Some young wizards-to-be discover their destinies through an engraved invitation. But for Sparrowhawk, unscrubbed and unbiddable goat herder on the island of Gont, an overheard word in the true, magical language was enough to get him started. Not just one stubborn goat but the whole herd was brought to heel with a single word. Clearly the lad had potential.

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne: "Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth." (Book summary)
If you enjoyed The Scarlet Letter and are interested in similar classic novels, as well as stories with similar themes,
the following titles may be of interest to you:
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness. (worldcat.org)
The Crucible by Arthur Miller
The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic play about the witch-hunts and trials in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachusetts. Based on historical people and real events, Miller's drama is a searing portrait of a community engulfed by hysteria. The ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neighbor to testify against neighbor brilliantly illuminate the destructive power of socially sanctioned violence. (catalog description)
The opening months of the Civil War had a certain boldness and cachet to them. Young men in particular signed up in droves. Picnickers came down from D.C. to take a gander at the First Battle of Manassas, discovering all too quickly that war is no theatrical entertainment. However, four years later when the South was playing an end-game, the damage to not just its army but also to its civilians was clearly a factor in its surrender. In 1863, there had been bread riots in Richmond. In 1864, the Shenandoah Valley's crops and businesses had been burned by Union General Sheridan who was advised by his commander Grant to "Give the enemy no rest ... Do all the damage to railroads and crops you can."
And so it was. The civilians and soldiers alike were hit with shortages, and the last year of the war was a particularly brutal time. In William C. Davis' and James I. Robertson, Jr.'s Virginia at War: 1865, the editors include eight essays by modern scholars and a diary from a Virginia woman, the wife of a minister, who observed that last year from her refugee quarters in Richmond where she served as a nurse and a clerk.
So, we all know the fairy tale of the Princess and the Pea, right? She shows up at a castle late one night in the middle of a snowstorm. The prince falls in love with her beauty (evident even under the wet, bedraggled appearance), but the king and queen want to make sure she is a real princess. So, they put a single pea under a pile of 20 feather mattresses and wait to see if she notices. And, sure enough, the real princess emerges in the morning bruised and sore from the tiny pea. The prince and princess get married and live happily ever after. Except...well, did you ever think what it would be like to live with someone like that? Someone who couldn't even stand a pea under her mattress? What about when she was hot? Disappointed? Challenged by some problem?
The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas, by Tony Wilson, takes the traditional Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale and stands it on its head. Prince Henrik doesn't like the idea of marrying a princess who is sensitive. His brother is married to a very real, very high-maintenance princess who complains day and night about things that don't suit her. Frankly, it's a drag being around her, let alone married to her.
Do any of these situations sound familiar to you?
-The phone rings at 10 p.m. notifying you that your father has fallen and rushed to the hospital with a probable broken hip.
-You call your mother several times one afternoon and evening without any answer.
-Your aunt's neighbor calls you to tell you that the papers are piling up on the front doorstep over the past week and she is not answering the door.
Whether you live an hour away or across the country, long-distance caregiving can be a challenge for many families.
Hazel was young and strong and a bit clever. His best friend, however, was a runt no one thought much of. But Hazel knew something about Fiver that made him respect the little fellow. Fiver was gifted with the Sight. He somehow could tell in advance what might be coming, and just then Fiver was terrified to the very marrow of his bones.
Rabbits such as Hazel and Fiver who live in the English countryside usually lead a pretty nice life. There are predators, sure. Foxes, hawks, and even stray dogs might grab an unwary rabbit. But rabbits are sociable creatures, living in cozy warrens underground, usually staying in the same place for years at a time. They eat together, play together, and follow a leader. And so it was at Sandleford warren.
Rabbits are usually rather biddable beings of habit so when Fiver, with Hazel backing him up, tries to convince their chief rabbit Threarah that death and disaster are coming—and soon—it's a losing situation. After all, "The Threarah doesn't like anything he hasn't thought of for himself." His Owsla guards don't believe them, either, and it is against the rules of the warren to leave it without permission. But they're going to do it anyway.
Ask your average person what the best ebook tablets on the market are and they will tell you Amazon's Kindle Fire, the Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet, and the Apple iPad. I'll tell you to look elsewhere. Barnes and Noble and Amazon may have created the $200-$250 ebook tablet niche, but others are rushing in to capitalize on it and they're much, much better options. Here's why.
"It was June and long past time for buying the special shoes that were quiet as summer rain falling on the walks. June and the earth full of raw power and everything everywhere in motion. The grass was still pouring in from the country, surrounding the sides, stranding the houses. Any moment the town would capsize, go down and leave not a stir in the clover and weeds. And here Douglas stood, trapped on dead cement and red-brick streets, hardly able to move."
The opening piece in Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine finds Doug Spaulding at the start of his twelfth summer, yearning for a pair of running shoes that will let him be a part of the glorious season. Like the dandelion wine bottled and stored in his grandparents' cellar, the memories of that long-ago summer are preserved to be savored by his readers.
After marrying a rancher, former Los Angeles food snob and vegetarian Ree Drummond found herself in the Oklahama countryside as a ranch wife and mom to four kids, all with big, meat-loving appetites. She set out to "create delicious food - food that would allow me to tickle my cooking fancy, but still make the cowboys' heart go pitter pat." Drummond started a food blog called The Pioneer Woman, where she posted step-by-step directions to a number of delicious recipes, starting with "How to Cook a Steak." Drummond's mouthwatering recipes, combined with her witty comments and lovely photographs, skyrocketed in popularity, which led to her first book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl.

Bring Me The Horizon Guitarist Bares All!
Posted July 19, 2012 by peta2 staff
Yowza! Bring Me The Horizon guitarist Jona Weinhofen is bringing the heat in his smokin'-hot new peta2 ad, proving that less is indeed more by posing with only a "heart & two hands full of compassion."
Jona is no stranger to peta2 and is never one to shy away from speaking up for animals. From his (fully clothed) "Flesh Is for Zombies" ad to baring it all, Jona knows that the best way to save animals, your health, and the planet (and look damn good doing it!) is to go vegan.

Terrebonne keeps on rolling
Published: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 10:36 a.m.
HOUMA -- Theres a lot of pressure that comes with being the top team in the District 8-5A.
The Terrebonne boys basketball team found that out when it faced district rival South Lafourche on Tuesday night.
Not only did the Tigers have to deal with being the target of every team in the district, but they also had to beat another type of pressure -- the full-court defense kind -- if they wanted to defeat South Lafourche and remain undefeated in district play.
Using the full-court press, the Tarpons cut a 17-point deficit midway through the third quarter down to eight at the start of the fourth quarter.
But in the final period, Terrebonne got past the Tarpons press by pushing the ball up the court and getting easy, wide-open baskets in transition, which helped it run away with a 75-62 victory.
With the win, the Tigers (16-8 overall) remained perfect in district play (9-0) and extended their winning streak to 11 games.
Its always good when you can beat a good team like South Lafourche, Terrebonne coach Byron McPherson said. To come out and beat them means a lot. We knew South Lafourche wasnt going to quit or go away. Our guys had to play hard for four quarters until the final horn sounded and thats what they did.
With three games left to play, the Tigers have a comfortable two-game advantage in the district race.
But they arent satisfied yet.
We want to go 12-0, said Tigers guard Wendell Jackson, who finished with a game-high 23 points. Were very hungry right now. We dont want to lose anymore. We just have to keep playing hard and continue doing what weve been doing to win games.
Other leading scorers for the Tigers were Anthony Sylvester (22 points) and Jerrod Brown (12 points).
Caden Cheramie led the Tarpons (25-4, 7-3 in 8-5A) with 23 points, while Wesley Rhodes added 12.
Terrebonne led 13-12 after the first quarter and 35-24 at halftime.
Trailing by 17 with 5:03 left in the third quarter, the Tarpons switched to a full-court defense that forced six turnovers and sparked a 15-4 run, which cut the lead to 46-40 following a 3-pointer from Rusty Borne with 1:06 remaining. Terrebonne used a layup from Stan Coleman to go ahead 48-40 at the end of the third.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Terrebonne received a huge three-point play from Sylvester with 7:27 left. South Lafourches Josh Badeaux received a technical foul after the play for arguing with the officials. Sylvester made one of the two technical free throw shots to make it a 12-point game.
From there, the Tarpons cut it down to eight once more with 4:11 left, but that was the closest they made it.
South Lafourche coach Brian Callais praised his team for rallying back and making the game competitive.
We ran out of gas late, Callais said. We just couldnt stop them. We ran our press, but we just werent getting back on defense. We couldnt close the gap because we kept allowing them to score easy baskets in transition. That was crucial for us at the end.
At Houma, the Lady Tarpons held off a late Terrebonne rally to win their first district title since the 1993-94 season.
South Lafourche (23-8, 11-0) led 23-11 after the first quarter, 34-27 at halftime and 49-45 at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Lady Tigers (16-7, 8-3) went on a 14-10 run to tie the game at 59 with 2:19 left. Terrebonnes Alaina Verdin, who scored a game-high 29 points, gave her team its first lead of the game with a three-point play to make it 62-59 with 1:59 remaining.
But in the next 20 seconds, South Lafourche scored six quick points off three turnovers to go up by three with 1:39 left.
The Lady Tarpons made 3-of-4 free throws in the final minute to seal the win and the outright district title.
Im so proud of my girls, Lady Tarpons coach Corey Callais said. Weve been talking all year about winning a district title. Thats one thing that we havent experienced here. Its been a long journey and this game showed how much heart that these young ladies have. They played with no fear every night. We might have played against much bigger competition, but we havent played a team that matched our heart. Thats what carried us all year long.
Leading the Lady Tarpons in scoring were Janee Lombas (25 points), Harley OQuin (15 points) and Lanie Charpentier (13 points).
Sierra Lyons scored 20 points for the Lady Tigers.
Terrebonne coach Greg Knox said the three turnovers in the final seconds were too much to overcome.
That was my fault for not calling time out and settling our team down before we got into that situation, Knox said. We were right there at the end, but we just made too many mistakes. Im proud of my girls on the way they played. They played their hearts out and never gave up.

Speaking from frequent and painful experience, I like roller-bags, but there needs to be a way to tell whether the thing is zipped closed or not. Unlike most suitcases, the first thing you do with such things when you're ready to go is tip them up on end, which causes calamitous piles of clothes if you haven't zipped the damn thing up yet. Why isn't there some kind of green/red indicator on top to tell you that the roller-bag is zipped closed?
Latest Stories
Suitcases with Auto-Closed Indicators
At the risk of being unkind, I think if this happens more than once you're falling foul of that law about repeating behaviors expecting different outcomes. Which reminds me, Meeker's back…
Personally, I think the zipper indicator is much too complex. It would be easier just to design the suitcase so you don't have to tip it on its side…
Just change the roller handle to come off one of the sides when it is lying flat (might require a more cubic suitcase or one where half flips over onto the other half). This has the additional advantage of providing a more stable platform (all available evidence points to the fact that suitcase designers have no concept of moments of inertia).
Just a thought.

Richard Davenport covers recruiting for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He is the host of Recruiting Thursday, a weekly radio show that airs from 7 to 8 p.m. on 92.1 FM in Fayetteville; 93.7 FM in Little Rock; 95.3 FM in Fort Smith; 96.3 FM in Hot Springs; 104.3 FM in Harrison/Mountain Home; and 106.9 FM in Arkadelphia.
Recruits give new staff chance to make pitch
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/STEPHEN B. THORNTON -- North Little Rock's Altee Tenpenny runs through Fayetteville defenders during their Class 7A playoff football game Nov. 23, 2012 in North Little Rock.
LITTLE ROCK Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema and his staff are expected to host 12 prospects on official visits this weekend, including North Little Rock running back Altee Tenpenny and huge offensive lineman Dan Skipper of Colorado.
Tenpenny, 5-11, 218 pounds, 4.32 seconds in the 40-yard dash, is expected to arrive today with his parents for his visit. The Hogs have only one experienced tailback on-campus — Jonathan Williams, who will be a sophomore this fall — and are hoping to convince Tenpenny to renege on his oral commitment to Alabama and come to Arkansas instead. Oral commitments are nonbinding.
The Crimson Tide return several running backs, including T.J. Yeldon, who will be a sophomore, and have commitments from Tyren Jones and Derrick Henry. CBS Sports Network national recruiting analyst Tom Lemming believes the Hogs have a chance to sway Tenpenny.
Arkansas will host 12 prospects on official visits this weekend
North Little Rock RB Altee Tenpenny, an Alabama commit, will be among them
Hunter Henry, a consensus all-American tight end committed to Arkansas, will also be on-hand
"He could be a difference maker," said Lemming, who rates Tenpenny a four-starplus prospect. "What Bielema has been known for is a great running game, maybe the best in the country. You need to develop the running game with an impact player or two, and Tenpenny is the impact back they need."
Skipper, 6-10, 295, 4.97, plays for Arvada (Colo.) Ralston Valley and is orally committed to Tennessee. He will be joined by another highly touted offensive lineman, Reeve Koehler, 6-3, 315, 5.2, of Honolulu St. Louis. Lemming rates both linemen as four-star prospects.
"You may have a potential superstar at 6-10, 350," Lemming said of the prospect of Skipper adding to his frame. "He's the tallest guy I've seen in the last ten years that was a big-time prospect. "Reeve is one of the three best players in Hawaii, a big, physical kid. He would be a major catch for them. He's nationally recruited."
Skipper is expected to leave Saturday to head to Ohio State for a visit, and Koehler is expected to decide between Arkansas and Kansas sometime next week.
Arkansas commitment and Pulaski Academy tight end Hunter Henry, 6-5, 235, 4.8, will be accompanied by his mother Jenny, who is an Arkansas graduate, and father Mark, who was an All-Southwest Conference selection at center in the 1991.
"He's the No. 1 tight end in the country," Lemming said. "He's a guy that can separate after the catch. You don't see that many big guys with his type of production and potential."
The Hogs are hoping to get Tulsa Washington safety Dominique Alexander, 6-1, 194, 4.53, back into the fold when he visits. He committed to Arkansas in June, saw his stock soar, and eventually orally committed to Oklahoma in November after citing the uncertainty surrounding Arkansas' coaching staff.
"They have to show they want him more than Oklahoma," Lemming said.
Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema and track Coach Chris Bucknam had an inhome visit with one of the top football and track prospects in the nation Wednesday night.
Receiver Devon Allen, 6-1, 190 pounds, 4.48 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Phoenix Brophy Prep and his father, Louis, liked what they heard from both coaches.
"He knows his stuff about football and his stuff about being an athlete because all of what he did in high school and in college," Allen said of Bielema. "It's pretty cool to talk to a guy that's looking for the best for an athlete as a whole."
Allen has recorded laser times of 10.49 seconds in the 100 meters, 20.75 seconds in the 200, 48.45 seconds in the 400, 13.52 seconds in the 110 high hurdles and 36.39 seconds in the 300 hurdles.
Allen and his father, Louis, plan to make an official visit to Arkansas on Feb. 1 but are trying to make arrangements to visit next weekend.
"He knows his stuff," Allen said of Bucknam. "They're the No. 1-ranked indoor team this season and they won the SEC last year. Success breeds success."
Allen was impressed with how easily and quickly he and Bielema made a connection. He said Bielema used math to make a point.
"He said the average age [life span] for a man in America is 72," Allen said. " 'What's half of 72?' I said, '36'. Then he said, 'Half of 36 is 18, and you're 18 right now. So the next four years are going to impact the next 50.' "
Louis Allen said Bielema and Bucknam worked well together, unlike coaches at some other places.
"I won't name the schools, but you'll get a football coach stepping all over what a track coach is saying, or a track coach stepping all over what a football coach is saying instead of giving them the time to communicate," Louis Allen said. "They didn't do that at all."
Arkansas is one of about two dozen schools that have offered a scholarship to junior linebacker D'Ronzjiah Mathews, according to his coach, Grant Redhead.
Mathews, 6-0, 210 pounds, 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of South Fort Meyers, Fla., is a hard-hitting prospect.
"He's a very explosive linebacker, great speed and physical," Redhead said. "He's been an all-area player since a sophomore. He made all-state this year and all-area first team. He finishes the tackle, I'll put it that way.
"I heard a coach say his film isn't PG, it's R-rated for violence. I liked that one."

New 360 boot animation filmed off debug screen
You know that unconfirmed 360 Firmware Kinect upgrade? This is what it looks like when it starts up.
The movie below was shot off a debug running XDK 11775.1 yesterday.
It's the same boot animation shown in the E3 Kinect presentation.
Apparently the new Firmware's font are "different and sharper".
Our source has confirmed that the main software's design is the same as shots leaked last month. There's no known date on when you're going to be getting this, but as Kinect's launching in November in the US, it's safe to assume it'll be before then.
The update featured a "Natal Tuner" in the unofficial shots. They were taken before Kinect received its final name in LA in June.
Beta invites to test Kinect – and, reportedly, the new dashboard – were apparently sent out this week.
Expect to see a European Kinect release date at gamescom in Germany next week.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Resting most of its athletes in preparation for the MW championships next week, the Colorado State men's and women's teams placed third in the Front Range Classic Friday at the Cadet Outdoor Track & Field Complex.
The women scored a total of 96 points behind Wyoming (140) and host school Air Force (193), and the men tallied 55 points, also behind Wyoming (90) and Air Force (301).
"We didn't care about scoring this year," said Head Coach Brian Bedard. "We were resting many of our athletes."
Freshmen Icenia Anderson and Shanetria Thomas took the top two spots in the 100-meter dash. Anderson's time of 12.09 seconds was just .02 short of the meet record set by former Ram Tanesha Johnson in 2008. Thomas recorded 12.14.
Anderson placed second in the 200-meter dash, crossing the line at 25.21, earning eight points for the women. Marissa Smith clocked 25.74, placing fifth, for two points.
Cate Brus was the lone athlete to clear 5 feet, 8 inches in the high jump, earning 10 points for her first-place finish. Mindy Campbell and Alison Forrester both reached 5-05, placing fourth and sixth, respectively, in the event.
Juniors Lindsey Keller and Kalie Kirk finished first and third, respectively, in the 100-meter hurdles. Keller clocked a season-best 13.95, while Kirk finished at 14.11.
In the throws Kiah Hicks and Elizabeth Johnson placed second and third, respectively, in the discus. Hicks threw a distance of 156-06 and Johnson threw 150-01.
Sarah Hamilton garnered two points for her fifth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles, clocking 1:05.52.
Meaghann Peak took top honors in the triple jump, landing nearly a foot further than her competitors at 39-09.75. She reached a distance 17-10.25 in the long jump, placing third in the event. Olivia Downing took third in the triple jump as well, with a distance of 36-06.25.
On the men's side three Rams scored in the 110-meter hurdles. Kelby Dias recorded a season-best, and a meet record, 14.22, breaking the previous time by .08 set by Kellen Curry of Air Force in 2009. Robert Wasinger placed third at 14.59, while Sam Saccomano clocked 14.84, in sixth place.
Sam Lynass clocked 54.86 in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing third.
In the field events Scotty Owens took third in the high jump, clearing a height of 6-02.75. Ryan Wasilwaski reached a distance of 21-06.00 in a field of one in the long jump. Alec Pott scored a third place finish for the men's team in the shot put, throwing a distance of 52-08.25.
Pott and Carson Rowley finished third and fourth respectively, in the hammer throw. Pott threw it a distance of 180-03, while Rowley threw 179-10.
Colorado State will return to the same track for the Mountain West Track & Field Championships beginning Wednesday. The championships run through May 12 and live stats will be available at http://www.rtspt.com/events/mwc/2012_outdoor/.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

On Stricker, caddies and the PGA Tour
The relationship between a player and his caddie on the PGA Tour often is compared to a marriage. They're together constantly, go through the gamut of emotions on the golf course, occasionally bicker and usually make up.
Unfortunately, however, some marriages end in divorce.
I was saddened to learn that Steve Stricker of Madison and Tom Mitchell of DeForest, who made such a great team for six years, have parted. Mitchell resigned after the U.S. Open and Stricker has hired Jimmy Johnson on an interim basis.
In 30 years of covering sports, I've never dealt with a more decent, classy, down-to-earth professional athlete than Stricker. Ditto for Mitchell, who was unfailingly polite, appreciative and respectful. Knowing them as I do, it wasn't surprising that both took the high road in explaining why they're no longer a team.
In a pre-tournament interview at the AT&T National in Bethesda, Md., Stricker characterized the separation as a mutual decision. He's hired Johnson for three tournaments and said his wife, Nicki, likely would return to the bag for some events this year. Johnson is a former mini-tour player who has caddied for several prominent players including Nick Price and, most recently, Charles Howell III.
When I reached Mitchell, he took the high road, too, referring me to a letter he sent to family and friends in which he said he was resigning in order to spend more time with his wife, Lori, and their two young children.
Was there more to it than that? Of course. Though players have varying arrangements with caddies, the general rule of thumb is that a caddie earns 10% of his player's purse. Stricker has made about $8 million since the beginning of the 2006 season, which means Mitchell has made roughly $800,000 in the last 30 months. Few people walk away from that kind of income without extenuating circumstances.
After the final round of the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, I witnessed an awkward exchange between Stricker and an obviously frustrated Mitchell, even though Stricker had finished respectably and tied for 29th place. When Stricker walked over to me, I said, "How are you doing?" He said, "I'm good, but something's up with my caddie. I don't know what it is."
I talked to Mitchell at length Tuesday and he said he didn't want to get into all the reasons he resigned. But he reiterated the No. 1 reason was that he wanted to spend more time with his family. He said he hoped to pick up a bag at the John Deere Classic next week and at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee in two weeks and then would retire as a caddie.
Mitchell is a bright and engaging man with a degree in exercise physiology from UW-La Crosse and a background as a personal trainer. In fact, he once trained Stricker, which is how he wound up on Steve's bag. Their first event together was the 2001 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in Australia, which Stricker won.
Mitchell became Stricker's full-time caddie in 2003 and they went through a three-year slump together. Stricker finally turned around his game in 2006 and Mitchell was there for every thrilling minute as Stricker was twice named PGA Tour comeback player of the year, climbed from No. 337 to No. 3 in the world ranking and culminated his comeback with a victory last year in The Barclays and a runner-up finish to Tiger Woods in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Stricker has struggled again at times this year and Mitchell said he hoped their parting would help spark Stricker to a strong finish and a berth on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
That would be great. It's just too bad Mitchell won't be there to experience it.$ (12)
Miss Beer Cart Wisconsin
I've played a lot of golf at a lot of places over the years and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that male golfers who are otherwise mature, responsible adults often act like high school sophomores around beverage cart girls. I don't know why that is; it just is.
That's my segue, however poor, into today's blog item: the 2008 Miss Beer Cart Wisconsin Competition.
The two-day competition will be held July 31 and Aug. 1 at Scenic View Country Club in Slinger. Frank Romano, who owns Scenic View and created the competition in 2004, has partnered with www.SportsBubbler.com.
Here's how it works:
The event will take nominations from courses around the state and narrow the nominees into two groups of finalists. The contestants then are put through a series of skills competitions including a putting contest, driving skills, cart stocking, Q-and-A and longest drive. After the skills competition, the finalists will work the course during a two-day tournament and will be scored by golfers as part of the "customer service" competition.
At the end of each day a panel of judges and participating golfers will name a winner, and the two finalists will go head-to-head on SportsBubbler.com, with the overall winner decided through online voting. Leading up to the event, SportsBubbler.com will profile a nominee each day in "Daily Drink."
Romano expects a big turnout for the event.
"We have had up to 170 golfers play in the tournament, but this year we are going to a two-day format, so we expect more," he said on SportsBubbler.com.$ (1)
Favre, Sorenstam have something in common
Looks like Brett Favre has some company.
Annika Sorenstam announced a few weeks ago that she was retiring after the 2008 season, but the LPGA Hall of Famer already is backing off the "R" word. Now says she is "stepping away" from the game and is leaving the door open to playing again a few years down the road.
"I'm definitely stepping away from the game by the end of this season," Sorenstam said in a telephone conference call to promote the Ricoh Women's British Open. "What I mean by that is I won't be competing for several years. If it will be three, four, five, six (years), maybe for the rest of my life, I'm not really sure. But I am definitely stepping away.
"Hopefully, I win the British Open. But I have no plans of coming back defending any of my titles next year. It's just a plan I have. No disrespect to any tournament. I'm giving it all this year and then I'm done.
"Who knows? If I get the urge again to play in six years, that would be a different story. But I do know it's going to be harder to come back after a long break and also being a little older and having another generation to catch.
"But, I mean, I'm not closing the door 100%."$ (1)
How to get on Milwaukee CC
Many consider Milwaukee Country Club to be the best golf course in Wisconsin and among the best in the country. Exclusive, ultra-private and shrouded in leafy mystery, the meticulously maintained H.S. Colt-C.H. Allison gem in River Hills is the kind of course ordinary golfers dream of playing just once in their lifetimes.
Well, here's your chance.
Milwaukee Country Club is looking for volunteers and caddies to staff the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship, Sept. 6-11.
Volunteers receive a uniform and a parking pass and are required to attend an orientation session on either Aug. 27 or Aug. 28.
Caddies will be paid $60 per round and must make a minimum four-day commitment. They must be at least 16 years old and should have a general understanding of the game. Caddies are required to attend an orientation session Sept. 3.
But here's the real perk:
Caddies working the required four days and volunteers working at least four shifts will be given a complimentary round of golf at Milwaukee CC on Monday, Sept. 29. Value: priceless.
To apply to be a caddie or volunteer, log onto www.milwaukeecountryclub.org and click on the "Mid-Am Volunteer Form," or call Nicole Wipperfurth at (414) 362-5242 during normal business hours.$ (5)
Sweden's Johnson aces No. 14, takes U.S. Bank lead
Richard S. Johnson of Sweden used a 7-iron to ace the 185-yard 14th hole at the Brown Deer Park Golf Course and the shot lifted him into the lead in the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee.
The hole-in-one was the 18th of the year on the PGA Tour and the first on No. 14 at Brown Deer since Tiger Woods aced the hole during his professional debut in 1996.
Johnson's ace put him at 7-under par with four holes to play. Brothers Deane and Brenden Pappas of South Africa were the leaders in the clubhouse with 6-under 64s.$
Pappas brothers share early lead at U.S. Bank
It was a good day for the Pappas brothers of Phalaborwa, South Africa.
Deane and younger brother Brenden both shot 6-under-par 64s to share the lead halfway through the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee.
Deane finished his round first, then waited for his brother to finish at the Brown Deer Park Golf Course. They embraced behind the 18th green.
"He said, 'Nice round,' " Brenden said. "I said, 'Well, I was chasing you all day.' "
Brenden Pappas tied for fifth in the 2003 U.S. Bank Championship. Deane's best finish in Milwaukee is a tie for 46th, in 1999.$
Big day for Aussies
All of Australia is going to be watching golf early Sunday morning.
Greg Norman, 53, takes a two-shot lead into the final round of the British Open at Royal Birkdale. In America, Australians Nick Flanagan and Gavin Coles are tied for the lead going into the final round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee.
Flanagan birdied the final hole at the Brown Deer Park Golf Course to join Coles at 11-under-par 199. Flanagan shot a 69 and Coles had a 68.
Neither would mind winning and being overshadowed by Norman on Sunday. Should the Shark hold on, he would become the oldest-ever major champion.
"It's amazing," Coles said of Norman. "I think Justin Rose said it perfectly: (Norman) has a 23-year-old body and a 53-year-old head."$ (1)
Leaders dealing with rain at U.S. Bank Championship
The British Open has nothing on us.
Drizzle started falling around 10 a.m. at the Brown Deer Park Golf Course and by 10:30 it had turned into a steady rain. The leaders of the U.S. Bank Championship prepared for the third round on the practice range, dressed in rain suits and huddling under umbrellas.
Richard S. Johnson and Nick Flanagan, tied for the lead at 10-under-par 130, were off the first tee at 11:10 a.m., along with Kent Jones.
On the course, nobody was making a big move, although Robert Garrigus was 2-under par through six holes and had pulled to within three shots of the lead.
Menomonee Falls native Mark Wilson was 1-over through seven holes and Middleton native Jon Turcott was even through two.$
Sweden's Johnson wins U.S. Bank Championship
Richard S. Johnson of Sweden birdied the final two holes at the Brown Deer Park Golf Course to edge Ken Duke by one stroke and win the U.S. Bank Championship for his first PGA Tour victory.
Johnson, 31, rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt on the 71st hole, then hit the par-5 18th green in two and two-putted for the clinching birdie. Duke, playing with Johnson, also birdied the final hole.
Johnson shot a 64 and finished at 16-under-par 264. Duke shot a 65 and finished at 265. Dean Wilson, Chad Campbell and Chris Riley tied for third at 267.
Johnson became the seventh first-time winner on the PGA Tour this year and he is the fifth international golfer to win the U.S. Bank Championship.$ (4)
Pardon my rant
It never fails. The U.S. Bank Championship ends and I start getting emails (and, new this year, comments on my blog) from people who don't seem to appreciate the fact that Milwaukee is home to a PGA Tour event.
The complaints and sarcastic comments usually fall into one of several categories:
*The pros don't like Brown Deer Park.
*The pros eat up Brown Deer Park because it's too easy.
*The tournament would be more successful if it moved to a better course.
*The field is weak; why can't Milwaukee get bigger names?
It's my contention that most of the people who make these observations do not actually attend the tournament. They're recreational gripers who would complain if they won $10 million in the lottery because they have to pay taxes.
I'd like to address the complaints one by one:
The pros don't like Brown Deer: False. I have yet to talk to one player at the U.S. Bank Championship who speaks negatively about the course. It's straightforward and in good condition and the greens are smooth and true. It's a beautiful parkland course, easy to walk and open to the public. What's not to like?
For the spectator who wants to see a lot of golf, there's no better course on the PGA Tour than Brown Deer Park. There are several spots on the course where you can see action on multiple greens and tees without having to move more than a few yards. At the Buick Pavilion you could watch golfers play the entire par-3 fifth and 11th holes, see them tee off on No. 2 and see them putt out on No. 4. Another great spot is around the sixth green, where you can move just a few yards and watch golfers tee off on No. 7 or putt out on No. 9.
The pros eat up Brown Deer Park because it's too easy: Have you ever looked at scores from other PGA Tour events? The pros eat up EVERY course, unless it's playing host to a major and is tricked up or there are extenuating weather conditions. Is Torrey Pines too easy? Tiger Woods shot 19-under to win the Buick Invitational there earlier this year. Is Harbour Town Links too easy? Boo Weekley shot 15-under to win there. Is Colonial CC too easy? Phil Mickelson shot 14-under to win there. Is Congressional too easy? Anthony Kim shot 12-under to win there.
These guys make birdies. Everywhere. Not just at Brown Deer.
The tournament would be more successful if it moved: Really? And where would that be? If golf fans in Milwaukee can't drive 15 minutes to Brown Deer, why would they drive 70 minutes to Kohler or 50 minutes to Lake Geneva? Also, who would volunteer? It takes thousands of volunteers to run a PGA Tour event. And what about the Milwaukee-based corporations who support the tournament -- do you think they'd rather entertain clients 10 minutes from their office, or an hour away? Would spectators mind parking five miles from the "better" course and taking shuttles back and forth? Maybe, maybe not. But there's hundreds of acres of free parking at Brown Deer.
I hear this one all the time: Why don't they move the tournament to Whistling Straits? The answer, besides the fact that the tournament has a long-term lease with Milwaukee County, is that Herbert V. Kohler Jr. isn't interested in a regular Tour event. He's only interested in major United States Golf Association and PGA of America championships.
The field is weak; why can't Milwaukee get bigger names? Going strictly off the Official World Golf Ranking, yes, the U.S. Bank field is weak. The tournament is held opposite the British Open, so the "big names" will always be on the other side of the pond (Kenny Perry excepted).
Having said that, I don't know how the finish of the U.S. Bank Championship could have been any better Sunday. I've covered more than 50 major championships and this was more exciting than most of them. The top 10 on the leader board combined for 58 birdies and an eagle in the final round and seven different players held or shared the lead. It was an incredible shootout, starting with Perry blitzing the back nine and ending with Richard S. Johnson's clinching birdie.
In the next few months, U.S. Bank will decide whether to exercise a three-year option to remain as the title sponsor through 2012. Community support certainly is one of the things officials will evaluate. If U.S. Bank decides not to pick up the option, the tournament is in trouble.
And if the PGA Tour leaves Milwaukee, it's never coming back. I know what the complainers would say about that:
See? The tournament was just a second-rate event that didn't deserve our support.
Boy, will they be wrong.$ (31)
Stars come out at Erin Hills
Erin Hills Golf Course in the Town of Erin had a couple high-profile visitors this week.
Mike Davis, senior director of rules and competitions for the United States Golf Association -- and the man who runs the U.S. Open -- toured the course Monday. Steve Stricker, just home from the British Open, was on the course all day Tuesday.
There is no question the USGA is serious about bringing a future U.S. Open to Erin Hills, the 2-year-old links-style course just west of Holy Hill in the scenic Kettle Moraine. Davis and Stricker made suggestions to owner Bob Lang about how some holes might be improved.
Most of the improvements would be minor in nature and would be completed well before the 2011 U.S. Amateur slated for Erin Hills. The course played host to the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links in June.
Davis has visited Erin Hills on several occasions and has made no attempt to hide his enthusiam for the course as a potential major championship venue.
It's an amazing story line: Lang, an infrequent golfer who was never "connected" in golf circles, started mowing what would become the fairways at Erin Hills a few years ago and today his course is among the hottest golf properties in the U.S.$ (5)

WOW! I made three different types of cookies today and these were by far the best. I luv their crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside texture and their light vanilla flavour. I quartered the recipe and got 15 cookies out of it. I did reduce the sugar by half and thought they were still nice and sweet. Thanks for sharing this outstanding recipe with us, Toni! I will most definitely make it again. Made and reviewed for Potluck Tag Game March 2009.
Fantastic! I quartered the recipe and they turned out perfectly.
These are great home made, real old fashioned, cookies. The sort that kids will remember fondly, not to mention dh's, lol. Quick and easy to make but I found them to take longer to bake. They went for 20 mins on convection and were still quite soft, Dh says that they have a lot of flavor and and he gave 5 stars on the first cookie.
I was surprised that I like these cookies as much as I did. Normally I love the spices in my raisin cookies, but I found that I could not stop eating these.
My family is Acadian- some of the very first to the maritimes- and in my search for more family info, I decided to search for recipes too. It is the simple food that is the best, and these are up there. Yum.
Very nice tasting cookies, & although I'm a raisin lover, I had a hard time NOT dumping more things into these [you know, like nuts, chocolate chips, etc]! However, I wanted to taste the final product as intended, so stuck with the recipe AND WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED ~ as I said, very nice tasting, very enjoyable. And, as is common around here, they didn't last any time at all! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Oh my goodness these are great! I kept peeking around the corner to see if my Grandma was in the kitchen baking these cookies. What a trip down memory lane. I did mix the ingredients in a little different order ie; butter and brown sugar first, eggs (jumbo eggs) and vanilla next, flour,salt and baking powder next, and then the raisins- After the first pan I realized...I FORGOT THE MILK! Honestly, they did not need anymore moisture, maybe because I had used jumbo eggs? I used a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop, and baked for 16 minutes on a parchment lined baking sheet. Next time I make these, I will probably not use jumbo eggs (I don't normally buy them) so I will add a little milk, maybe not a whole cup though. Again Toni, these were outstanding and are going right into my Personal Favs Cookbook. Nick's Mom
