Doug Robinson: Former Utah speedster Cal Beck finds new identity outside of football
"I was terrified," he recalls. "We all were terrified. It went away, and I thought it was a freak thing."
The pounding of football probably didn't help. Years later, during a visit to a migraine specialist, he tried to tally the number of concussions he had had during his playing career. "We lost count," he says. "I suffered one at least every year of little league and up through high school, and each time I'd have to sit out for a while. I got my bell rung plenty in college, but I never told anyone. I was trying to win a roster spot. But during class I would get headaches and I would go back to the dorm to try to nap them off."
The migraines began in earnest before his junior year, when he was dealing with the hamstring issues, but it wasn't until late that fall that they became debilitating.
In a 1997 Deseret News column, this is what I wrote about Beck's symptoms, as he described them to me at the time: "It begins as a literal pain in the neck, and when it comes Cal Beck knows that his silent enemy has announced its return. The pain rises slowly into the back of his head, begins the long march forward, settles behind his right eye. Pain so severe that light hurts. Sound hurts. The mere act of talking hurts. He's sure his brain is imploding, sure someone is driving a white hot poker into his eye. And then there's the wild, crazy nausea and the blurred vision and the dizziness. His world spinning out of control. If only the pain was caused by a rival on the football field, he would know how to fight back, but all he can do is retreat to his room, to his bed, with the curtains drawn, to darkness and silence, and hope that sleep will come for him. Sleep, blessed sleep, his only refuge. All he can do is wait. The siege is under way. Another migraine headache has begun."
The migraines struck with a vengeance during the holiday season of 1996, immediately after his junior season. Beck, unable to sleep or eat solid foods for days at a time, lost weight and began missing class. There were days he couldn't get out of bed. He visited a long line of doctors — chiropractors, allergists, psychiatrists, psychologists, migraine specialists. They tried medication, meditation, diets, relaxation therapy, acupuncture, massage, vitamins, MRIs, CAT scans, eye tests, neurological tests, a back brace (to correct his posture) and even a change of altitude and climate (he was sent to sea-level San Francisco and Seattle for a week to see if it would help).
"They had me on a narcotic for a while," he says. "I was in class one day and a teammate told me, 'Dude, you're drooling.' I couldn't even feel it. There were times I drove to school and couldn't get out of the car. I pushed myself to the limit."
He missed the '97 spring camp and dropped out of school. "My senior year was coming up, and I can't even get out of bed or go work out or go to class," he says.
The headaches lasted one to 12 hours, and recovery from each episode required four to 48 hours. "It's the most excruciating pain I've felt," Beck told me at the time. "I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I just want to die. I try to fall asleep. Once in a while I can do it, but it's not me falling asleep. It's my body shutting down. It's the only way I can get through it. It taxes the body so much. When it goes away, I'm so exhausted I can't move. I'm dehydrated. I shake when I get them. It's like I'm having a seizure or convulsions. It's common to go three days without eating. If I get a migraine, I wouldn't expect to eat until the next day."
He started to feel better in the summer of 1997, and enrolled in school so he could report to fall camp. But three weeks before camp opened, the headaches returned. He reported to camp anyway. Following the first morning workout, he had a migraine in the afternoon and another in the evening. McBride found Beck asleep in his darkened dorm room. "I could tell the coaches were thinking, what if he doesn't come back, and that really hurt," Beck says. "But they had to be realistic." After missing a team meeting, he managed to complete a conditioning test the next morning and then went to bed the rest of the day, with coaches repeatedly coming and going to check on him. He finally packed his bag and went to McBride's office, where he sat and cried.

Among those that don't closely track the casino industry, Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD) is probably not a household name. But that is rapidly changing. With more than $2.2 billion in annual revenues, Boyd is actually the nation's third-largest gaming company, trailing only Harrah's Entertainment (NYSE: HET) and MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM).
Today, Boyd manages 18 casino resorts spread throughout six states. Combined, the company oversees nearly 1 million square feet of gaming space, containing more than 600 table games and 26,000 slot machines.
Locating the Locals
Along with rival Station Casinos (NYSE: STN), Boyd is entrenched as a leader in the Las Vegas locals market. The unique demographics of this niche are difficult to ignore. The Las Vegas metro area has been the fastest growing in the nation in the past decade, with a population base that doubled to 1.6 million people during the 1990s. And with another 7,000 people moving to the area every month, the surrounding suburbs are quickly filling with potential customers -- most of them relatively affluent and with a taste for gaming.
Generally speaking, these people prefer to avoid the hustle and bustle of the strip, instead choosing to visit their local casinos. Compared to the tourist-filled palaces lining Las Vegas Blvd., quiet neighborhood casinos typically offer affordable dining, favorable odds, and generous comps (casino freebies).
While capacity in the market has increased somewhat with flashy new resorts like Red Rock Station, regulatory barriers have limited future casino development to previously zoned areas, thereby digging a wide moat for established casinos. We think Boyd is well positioned to capitalize on this niche market in the years ahead.
Unlike Station, Boyd's geographic reach extends far beyond Summerlin, Henderson, and other Las Vegas suburbs. Along with co-owner MGM, Boyd also manages Borgata, which has quickly become Atlantic City's hottest resort. The trendy property routinely generates the market's highest table and slot machine wins on a per-unit basis. The Borgata also just put the finishing touches on a new 85-table poker room that has reportedly been packed to capacity at all hours of the day.
Elsewhere, the firm manages several historic properties in downtown Las Vegas, as well as a handful of resorts in key riverboat markets from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast.
Ante-Up for Growth
Boyd's plans for the resurgent north-end of the Las Vegas Strip have generated a great deal of buzz lately. By next year, the outdated Stardust will make way for Echelon Place, a sprawling $4 billion development project ambitious even by Las Vegas standards.
This amenity-laden property will give Boyd a prime opportunity to hone its cross-marketing capabilities and extract more non-gaming revenues from visitors. It will also be the final piece in the geographic puzzle. Boyd will be the only gaming company on the planet to have a strong position in all three Las Vegas markets -- locals, downtown, and the Strip -- as well as exposure to key markets in the Midwest, the Gulf Coast, South Florida, and Atlantic City.
Despite the enthusiasm for its development pipeline, shares of BYD have pulled back sharply in recent months on concerns that the Las Vegas housing market is headed for a continued slowdown.
While it is impossible to forecast exactly how the chips will fall over the next few months, we are confident that the area's population will continue to increase over the long haul -- as will Boyd's share price.

Mar 13, 2013It stays close to its inspirations and risks growing repetitive, but Anodyne's darkly surreal atmosphere is gripping.
Apr 26, 2013Anodyne is a well done Zelda clone with a stunning story. The vintage gaming fan will love it.
Apr 17, 2013Anodyne is a game that, despite one very problematic gameplay element, manages to play with a tried and true genre and create something new and exciting.
Apr 7, 2013A nice surprise that wants to make the player feel something, no matter what. Except for the platforms, this is a solid proposal RPGs fans should try.
Mar 19, 2013A brilliantly designed adventure that translates well-worn mechanics into a package that feels genuinely new and exciting. While an over-reliance on frustrating jumping puzzles keeps it from greatness, it's a remarkable achievement for its tiny team – a freaky, fascinating exploration of the darker side of gamer psychology.
Feb 13, 2013This is a game for those who grew up in Hyrule but spent more time in Lordran in recent years. Some finicky platforming also frustrates, but then Link didn't get an auto-jump until Ocarina Of Time.
PC PowerPlayJun 4, 2013Anodyne falls between average and perfection, offering a strange, funny, horrifying few hours of old-school action-adventure. [June 2013, p.91]
Apr 14, 2013Fans of the old school adventure games should definitely enjoy the combination of exploration and puzzles the game offers and Anodyne is a nice throwback to a type of game that you simply can't find any more.
Feb 13, 2013Above all, Anodyne never lets you forget that it's a game more concerned with the journey than with the destination, and at 10 bucks, it's a journey worth taking.
May 3, 2013Anodyne's weaknesses would've been greatly justified by a solid narrative. Instead, we're left with a semi-decent dungeon crawler featuring some rather attractive sprite art and great soundtrack.
Apr 5, 2013It's one of those games with loads of untapped potential, which is how it ultimately traps itself in the shadow of its big role-model. It manages to create an atmosphere on a comparable level of quality, but lacks in finesse of design. You're only a third of you way through this adventure until you hunger for more skills and weapons, and long exhausting marches regularly get in the way of any real adventuring. Still, Anodyne manages to entertain and displays a level of talent which has you wonder what its creators will be up to next.

However, I was not captured by it at all-- and I'm the type of person that enjoys these types of games. People need to learn that if you're going to make a game with RPG Maker, you need a good story and music to make it worthwhile. Unfortunately, Anodyne is lacking in both of these areas, at least in my opinion.

As this game indeed resembles Zelda graphically it's a far cry from an adventure like Zelda. The story itself is one of those 'you don't know why you are here and everything's strange' -types and you have to follow a certain path to advance in it. There's not much room for exploring other than finding the gateway to your next 'dungeon'. These dungeons consist mostly of week enemies, very easy puzzles and a final boss. There are also sort of collectible cards that are required for you to open gates to new areas but besides that do nothing else than provide couple lines of "humour". These "jokes" feel quite ackward in context of rest of the game being "serious". The audio of the game is decent but forgettable. I didn't feel that Anodyne was really a game, it resembles more to "To The Moon" as an interactive story that looks like an old JRPG and should be counted as one when considering a purchase. The price tag of 8€ is a bit steep so I recommend waiting for a sale.… Full Review »

While the environments are neat and a bit unsettling, the game's puzzles are really poorly designed and the controls are sub-par, which made this a really frustrating experience. In addition, the map is completely labyrinthine. I had no idea where I should be going, the map was useless, and I pretty much immediately got lost.
The star of this game is the aesthetic. It mostly sticks to the 16-bit style, and it does it well most of the time. The music is mostly ambient and a little creepy, which really hammers in the unease.
Ultimately, though, I found I couldn't forgive the game's serious gameplay flaws. If you think the aesthetic alone will be worth the price of entry, then you might really enjoy this game, but otherwise, there are many better ways to spend your money.… Full Review »

Reader tired of others imposing ideals
Published: Friday, January 19, 2007 at 12:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 19, 2007 at 1:33 p.m.
I am so sick and tired of the small number of U.S. citizens who are trying to impose their beliefs and ideals on the rest of us.
In spite of the fact that foul words are allowed on television, as well as explicit sex, other words and programs are now endangered. On the television soap operas, couples change mates almost as often as they change their underwear. Even though all of us get paid with money that has "In God We Trust", the word God is not to be used on television or in our schools. Even the religious programs are endangered even though thats the only means shut-ins have to attend services of their favorite denomination.
When will all of the Christians of the world wake up, and take a stand and tell these few. You dont want to pray, nobody is forcing you to do so. If I want to pray, that is my right. You dont want to see explicit sex, nobody is forcing you to watch it.
You dont have to watch anything on television you do not want to watch, just change the channel or turn the TV off!
Its called freedom! Its what makes our country so great and its what our forefathers fought for all those years ago. Our country was founded on freedom of religion and our Constitution is based on the 10 Commandments.
Wake up America before "the few" take away the freedom of "the many."
Janet Foret Lococo

Obama's Maddening, Winning Speech
He will marginalize his opponents as the bloodless Numbers People.
Barack Obama's poorly received State of the Union speech deserves a second look. Conventional wisdom pronounced the SOTU a relatively weak Obama effort. It was. Diffuse, filled with the usual enemies, it pulled together various back-filed policy ideas into a proposal he called, with a straight face, "An Economy Built to Last."
Bemused election-year observers remarked that both ObamaCare and the nation's entitlement bomb passed unmentioned. In his reply, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels noted that we are not going to be able to outrun the simple math on entitlement spending. That's true. We can't. But Mr. Obama just may for the next 10 months.
How? By exploiting political vulnerabilities in the Republicans' case against his presidency. Republicans think it's all about the bad economy. It is. But Barack Obama is going to do something his opposition wouldn't think possible. He's going to take ownership of the American economy. Not the real one, but the one he's just made up, "the economy built to last." It won't last long, but long enough.
In the days after his Washington lecture, Mr. Obama took a shorter version of his SOTU speech on the road—to Colorado, Michigan, Iowa, Nevada and Arizona, states he needs in November. On the White House website, you can see him give this campaign tuneup speech at the new, $5 billion Intel chip-fabrication plant in Chandler, Ariz. It's worth watching and pondering. You'd think the best and the brightest would be beyond Mr. Obama's crude populist pitch. You of course would be wrong.
About 6,000 Intel employees—young, well-educated technology sophisticates—applauded and cheered Mr. Obama from start to finish. Even when he ripped into those awful American companies with factories overseas, such as their own employer. "An America where we build stuff and make stuff and sell stuff all over the world." (Applause.)
A speech that flopped among Washington's policy sophisticates is soaring out in the country. Republicans had better figure out why.
Reading through the White House's text of "An Economy Built to Last," any half-awake citizen will notice the words that fail to appear: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, entitlements and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The deficit is in the document's last paragraph, three sentences long.
Gilda Radner's Emily Litella famously said "Never mind," and you would too if you had to run on this economy. Thus, the Obama solution: Run against the economy. This effectively means Mr. Obama is running against himself, but . . . never mind.
Related Video
Mr. Obama may not know much about the private economy, but he knows a lot about the uses of human anxiety. Proposing to replace his own bad economy with a virtual substitute "built to last" allows Mr. Obama to place himself outside the White House and on the street making common cause with the genuine economic anxieties of the American people. It also lets this president put in motion what he thinks he knows best—empathy. In "The Audacity of Hope" he put empathy "at the heart of my moral code." Practice makes perfect.
It is beyond audacious. How can a president simultaneously hammer real job creation with the Keystone XL pipeline decision, then go into the country and claim kinship with the anxieties of the jobless? No problem. Just do it.
It could work. If we know nothing else about Barack Obama it is that he can play "hope" like a Stradivarius. The version of "An Economy Built to Last" that he performed at Intel is his concerto for re-election.
The Obama-Axelrod-Plouffe team knows that the Republicans instinctively will respond by quoting, endlessly, the poor economic data of the Obama years. They plan to turn this reality on its head as well. In a down economy, Barack Obama is going to position his GOP critics as economic determinists. The bloodless Numbers People. The tea party, by its own admission, obsesses over "the deficit"—numbers. Mr. Obama's likely opponent has self-defined as a competent manager, a numbers guy. That false Obama demagoguery about rules-free GOP Darwinians is just one piece of this unflattering portrait.
In Arizona he said, "An economy built to last also means we've got to renew American values: fair play, shared responsibility." Wild applause. For those who think they have facts on their side, it will be maddening and enraging to watch other Obama audiences across the country cheer and applaud "An Economy Built to Last." Get used to it.
The GOP is appealing, as its candidates so often do, to the American brain. Barack Obama is happy to be left by himself, going for their hearts. If he wins, the Republican will wail at the unfairness, irrationality and illogic of what beat them.
Rick Santorum, in his Tuesday night also-ran speech to what looked like a roomful of about 35 people at a Nevada Days Inn, spoke of couples "sitting around a kitchen table" to figure out what comes next. Whatever his campaign's shortcomings, Mr. Santorum is the one man running who understands the Obama strategy to marginalize Republicans. At some point after the inevitable end of the nomination campaign, Mitt Romney should ask Rick Santorum to sit down with him to discuss the inner melodies of life in America these days. Barack Obama is the maestro of this music, and without it, you can't win a presidency.

Divers & Snubbers
A diver is a mechanism that attains depth by water pressure forcing it down. You can fish divers to 100+ feet and it's often been referred to as the "poor man's downrigger". However, they have become a tremendous tool in Salmon fishing.
The modern day divers, like the Slide Diver and the Dipsy Diver, will also dive out and away from the boat, depending on how much line you let out. This happens because of their saucer shape along with a adjustable lead keel (in most cases). Once you've mastered the simple techniques when using these remarkable pieces of plastic, you'll come to rely on them like so many anglers do today.
Why are divers so highly effective? Because in most cases they fish out and away from the boat, increasing your trolling path by 100 feet or more. The big lake trolling fishery is like a farmer plowing a field and, in simple terms, a 4 bottom plow is more efficient that a 2 bottom plow. Also, they cover areas in a stealthy, silent mode out where those spooky fish are going to go to avoid pressure.

Man Shot Outside Rick Ross' Home Was Convicted Cocaine Trafficker!!
Dakota | Mar 01, 2012 | Comments
Further details have emerged in the case of a fatal shooting outside of Rick Ross' Florida home, with the victim being revealed as a convicted cocaine smuggler.
39-year-old Gregory Paul Nesbitt was found outside a house in Miami Gardens regularly used by Ross and his entourage as a recording studio and hangout yesterday morning.
According to the Miami Herald, Nesbitt's police records show a long criminal history in the area dating back to the '90s, including armed robbery, grand theft auto and assault charges.
Police were summoned to the scene at 7am on Wednesday morning to investigate reported gunshots. Nesbitt's body was found lying inside the gates to the front door of the house. An SUV owned by the victim was also found nearby.
Witness quotes obtained by GlobalGrind suggest the incident may have been a drive-by shooting, with one neighbour telling the website: "I was there when there were shots. I don't know what car, but they got away down the street…"
In a Miami Gardens police statement, spokesman Bill Bamford said: "Here's a guy standing close to a fence and someone comes and shoots him. We're trying to figure out why he was confronted there."
Police are looking to speak to Ross, who doesn't live at the modest three-bedroom house, in connection with the incident, but the Maybach Music Group leader is not being considered a suspect.

Problem with middle initials?
My husband and I have talked about using my maiden name and his mother's maiden name as 2 middle names if we have a son (decided to wait until the birth to find out baby's sex). Trouble is, the names are Bennion Sanders, meaning the middle initials would be BS. I don't think Sanders Bennion flows as well. We are looking at Gideon, Michael, William, and still open to others as possible middle names. Last name sounds like Uh-mah-toh (Italian, 3 syllables). Opinions or suggestions?

I agree with southern.maple, that's a very minor issue, especially considering his BS initials will be sandwiched between two other letters. You should stick with Bennion Sanders as his middles since it has important meaning to you.Elizabeth – Alessandra – Bronwen – Dylan – James – Silas – Joseph

Browser Clone: Iron Instead of Chrome
A new product, Iron, is a viable alternative for those reluctant to reveal their personal data when using Google's Chrome browser. The Iron browser is based on Chrome's source code.
The new Iron browser is under a BSD license and its producer, software company SRWare, has removed all Chrome functionality compromising data security. SRWare offers a free download from their website.
Unlike Chrome, Iron does not create unique user IDs, nor does it send URIs to Google for generating search hints. Installation of the software will also be transparent to Google. SRWare's browser clone should be just as fast as Chrome and uses version 525.19 of Apple's WebKit Engine.
Adoption of the browser by Linux users is still to be seen. Although Iron runs native on Windows and Mac systems, it requires Wine on Linux. During a test on Wine 1.1.5 with Kubuntu 8.04, the browser took up plenty of CPU resource, but failed to start.
Iron on Mac?"iron runs native on Windows and Mac systems" - does it really? i can't find a mac version out there (SRWare doesn't seem to offer a download for mac, just XP & Vista), but i'd love to install it on my mac.

Review: FX's 'Terriers'
Hank Dolworth, the private eye hero of FX's terrific new drama "Terriers" (tomorrow at 10 p.m., FX), is asked if he's a stupid man.
"I graduated fourth grade okay," Hank insists.
Hank (Donal Logue from "Grounded for Life") is not stupid, but nor is he an exceptionally brilliant detective. He just knows his limitations. He and partner Britt Pollack (Michael Raymond-James) are bottom-feeding detectives in Ocean Beach, CA, working without a license - "We find that by not working with one, we never have to worry about losing them," Hank explains - or much of a plan. Their key assets are Hank's pickup truck, the cop buddies who will still talk to him since he lost his badge for being a drunk, and the skills Britt picked up in his previous life as a thief. Their own lawyer, who throws them most of their work, dismisses them as small-time.
"We grow two sizes, we might make small-time," Britt acknowledges.
But like the breed of dog that gives the show its title, what these two lack in brains and brawn, they more than make up for in persistence. As the series begins, they stumble onto a big case involving the richest man in town, which leads Hank to suggest, "Maybe we're actually big time and just didn't realize it."
Hank's last name and Britt's first name come from, respectively, Burt Lancaster's character in "The Professionals" and James Coburn's in "The Magnificent Seven." The show's creator, "Ocean's Eleven" writer Ted Griffin - who produces with "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan (frequent Joss Whedon sidekick Tim Minear is the #3 man) - has said he wanted "Terriers" to be a mix of private detective tropes and the kind of relaxed masculine camaraderie seen in films like those two, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Great Escape," etc.
And so much of what makes "Terriers" appealing is that bond between Hank and Britt, and the fantastic on-screen chemistry between Logue and Raymond-James, who are friends in real life and shared a house during filming.
In the series' opening scene, Hank and Britt are preparing for a job when Hank pauses to tell Britt he has a song stuck in his head. Britt, clearly knowing from past experience what's coming next, begs Hank not to sing it for him, but Hank goes ahead and hums a few bars of what sounds like The Carpenters' version of "Close to You" - and Britt can't help smiling at his pal even as the tune gets lodged in his brain, too. They're screw-ups, but they're exceedingly likable screw-ups.
That balance between buddy comedy and hard-boiled drama should be tricky, yet "Terriers" flows easily between the two. Hank seems like a complete bumbler half the time, and yet you feel for him as he pines for ex-wife Gretchen (Kimberly Quinn) or when he commits to bringing down a bad guy at all costs. Logue is better known for comedy, and there's certainly a a lot of that here (albeit mostly wry, low-key humor and banter), but he's also delivering a knockout dramatic performance - one that fits comfortably alongside FX's other leading men. Hank's a recovering drunk who's lost everything - job, wife, reputation - and while he can make jokes at his own expense, he's also deeply ashamed of the man he's become, and Logue nails it every time he's asked to take Hank seriously.
Raymond-James works more in the series' lighter areas, but he's enormously charming, and the show has wisely given him a girlfriend in Laura Allen's sensible Katie who really enjoys her man's ramshackle lifestyle, even as she'd like to see him grow up just a tiny amount.
FX's last new entry, "Justified," struggled for a half a season to balance standalone storytelling with the kind of longer arcs viewers have come to expect from the FX brand. Since Ryan more or less invented that brand with "The Shield," "Terriers" comes out of the gate knowing exactly when to shift between the two. There's a complicated ongoing storyline involving the wealthy land developer, but there are also running personal subplots (Hank's desire to buy the house he and Gretchen lived in, Britt trying to do right by Katie) that are there to help anchor the done-in-one cases.
And those cases are a potent reminder of how compelling the PI genre can be when done straight. The third episode, for instance, features a terrific guest turn by Olivia Williams from "Dollhouse" as the allegedly cheating wife of a client, in an easy money case where nothing turns out to be as it seems. Though it's clearly a modern story, it feels like something that Humphrey Bogart or Paul Newman or Stacy Keach might have been at the center of decades ago.
"Terriers" comes with the amusing tagline "Too small to fail." It's not an ambitious show. It doesn't have the historical sweep and dazzling visuals of something like HBO's upcoming "Boardwalk Empire." Yet in trying to tell good old-fashioned detective stories featuring a pair of leads I kept wanting to spend time with, it quickly joined "Boardwalk" as one of my two favorite new shows of this fall.

Add new functionality to the PrintScreen key
Here's a very easy though tricky question: why does the PrintScreen key have that name if it doesn't actually print anything?I guess you don't have the answer for that – I don't either – but I do know a way to fix that incongruity.
It's called Purrint: a small Windows tool that turns the PrintScreen key into an actual printing application.Once installed, Purrint places an icon on the system tray, though I'd say it's more comfortable to use with the keyboard itself.
Now, every time you press the PrtScr key (or the Alt+PrtScr shortcut to capture the active window) a window will open and offer you the possibility to copy the image to the clipboard (as the standard key would do), save it as an image file or send it to your printer right away.Purrint can also work in a semi-automated way: simply open the program's configuration menu and set it to take a specific action every time you press the PrtScr button. Purrint is an easy way to improve the way the PrintScreen key works by adding new functions to it and make it a more useful key.
- Works with both PrtScr and PrtScr+Alt shortcuts
- Supports several graphic formats
- Can be configured to work automatically
- No need to have an extra icon on system tray

Pakistani Talibans had tried to impose their Nizam-e-Adl in Swat and were thrown out of there proving and conveying clearly and forcefully that their kind of Islam was not acceptable and workable in our country. So as Muslims what are we afraid of?
We have a more secular than a secular government. We have a dedicated Secular Media of Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Secular Pakistan. We have an army ready to fight against any attempt to disturb the way we live in this world and the way we believe in the world after. When the Pakistani Talibans have failed in Swat how can they succeed in other parts of the country where we have law enforcing agencies as well as rangers and army cantonment areas? Do we think that a few isolated barbaric incidents can succeed in terrorizing entire population of Pakistan and make them Taliban Branded Shariah Compliant? Can a country that has a brave teen age girl like Malala who has the courage to defy Taliban and carry on her mission be expected to let so-called Pakistani Taliban impose their "Alien to Islam Shariat in a "RELIGIOUS COUNTRY of TRULY MUSLIMS like Pakistan"?

Race v. Class?
Russ Douthaut has a column that every NYTimes reader should read if only to remind us of the "outer boroughs" and west of the Hudson. On the other hand, he pins his case on one study of elite institutions to explain why white, Christian America is so angry. That's, of course, if "we" really are, "The roots of white anxiety". Take a look. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/19/opinion/19douthat.html?_r=1&ref=opinionAnd Paul Krugman has a few telling observations on the state of political discourse, "the pundit delusion". http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/19/opinion/19krugman.html?ref=opinion

"Consciously or unconsciously, the gatekeepers of elite education seem to incline against candidates who seem too stereotypically rural or right-wing or 'Red America.'"________Odd to pretend to know what "the gatekeepers" are doing "unconsciously".
That admission to the 'elite' universities like Harvard is big on the agenda for poor mid-west whites is Douthart's fantasy [with no stats]. But It is big on neo-con talking points. White unemployment last week 8.6; Hispanic 12.7; Black 14.9; black men 16.8.. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2009/06/164/18841/
What impacts of bigotry are felt by white consevative Christians vis a vis poor minorities or evn gays or other disavantaged groups? Of course it's hard to get anyone to say they're prejudiced even though most if not all of us have some baggage.But on the conservative right, there was a sourthern strategy that now is much into rthe "no amnesty" mantra on imigration and current Administration failures they perceive in the gulf deep South area.The mix of race into politiciztional ideology does grow apace again and we are more impoverished for it.
Part of the unasked statistical question here is the breakdown of applicants to the "elite" universities. They can't admit someone who didn't apply, and you can't apply if you don't have the hefty application fee and the coterie of guidance counselors that help.
Bob: Did you see the story this morning about Evangelical pastors support for immigration reform. Interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/19/us/politics/19evangelicals.html?_r=1&hp
Nice piece in today's Times -thanks.But the dep political divide on immigration wil be colored not only by values for some but also bigotry for others.
". . . the coterie of guidance counselors that help."-------Guidance counselors are very helpful. But kids not fortunate enough to be in private schools with experienced and ethical counselors should be careful. This story about a counselor who nearly cost a girl her swim scholarship shocked me:http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/education/article_12268258-e8af-5eb3-...
This story feeds my suspicion that the doings of Ivy League schools are more interesting to Ivy Leaguers than they are to the rest of us.Here in the Upper Midwest, we have land grant universities that, on the face of things, seem pretty good, are a lot cheaper, and seem to be relatively egalitarian in their admissions programs.Arguments about whether Michigan is better than Penn or Purude as good as Brown for a given discipline, again in my observation, tend to generate more heat than light.To cite a couple of well-known Ivy League grads: I have no reason to doubt that Presidents GW Bush and Obama would have ended up in the White House and done as well as they did/are, had the former gone to Texas and the latter to ... the state school of wherever he lived at the time (where did he live then?)
Wish I could remember where I read this recently, but what frightens me is that an administrator from one of the Ivies said that the Ivies have as their mission to educate the American ruling class. That the U. S. might end up with only one entrance to American positions of leadership is scary. As I understand it, that is the French system, and their politics has been notoriously unstable historically. True, even very poor but brilliant kids in France get to the Sorbonne at times, but has the system really worked?I also think it's false that money is mainly what those with big ambition seek.. As I see it, money is for the super-rich a marker of power, and it's the power that is most attractive. There is great power in government policy-making positions, and with or without money, Democrats often succeed to it. I think the Tea Partiers know this very well, and this is the basis of their complaint against the elite-education issue.
Ann - was it to educate or to produce the American ruling class? Maybe not an important distinction, but one smacks of aristocratic entitlement, whereas the other bespeaks only the caliber and ambitions of the graduates they hope to send into the world, wheresoever they may have originated.
Thomas --I do wish I had that citation. As I remember, he was talking about *producing* a ruling class of the smartest, regardless of origin.
From both the articles referenced and the replies on Commonweal, it seems our future might be tribal.I hope not, but it seems like that sometimes.
"Ann, to be clear, I was referring to people who are mistaken. How exactly does one become a great philosopher if one lies from the beginning?"Nancy --I don't understand most of your answer. True, it won't do to lie in philosophical conversations. But I thought we've been talking about ethical *mistakes*, not lies. A mistake is not the same thing as a lie, and one is not justified in calling someone a liar just because he or she has made a mistake. That would be a sin. When did great philosophers or lying become the subject of our discussion? Why are you bringing up these topics? As your reply stands, it looks like an instance of the fallacy of changing the subject.
Ken, I think our past was based on ethnic/socio-economic "tribes" and our future will continue to be tribal.Few people go directly from farm or projects and to Harvard.Increases in education tend to happen incrementally by generation, often as finances improve and the "tribe" is willing to accept those with more education.My "tribe" of blue-collar white Democrats, largely Irish and mostly Catholic, was pretty skeptical of college per se unless it led to a job certificate of some type. Parents would encourage college to a point--but usually not to the point of financing it.Most friends and family viewed an English major as something, at best useless, and, at worst, a kind of finishing school where you learned to look down on everybody. An advanced degree was viewed with utter scorn.On the other hand, everybody in academe figured that if you were blue collar, you were constantly fighting down the urge to say "we seen" and "crick" instead of "creek."It's uncomfortable being between "tribes" sometimes, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with the tribal system. It's when you're forced to stay in your tribe that problems begin.
This is interesting. My grandfather was a trolly car conductor in Boston. He was born at Cork, Ireland. My grandmother was a farm girl for a very tiny crossroads near Lisdoonvarna, Ireland. Historical Ivy League schools excluded Catholics, particularly the Irish kind, as the New York side of my family who were early arrivals in this country continually pointed out. But in the 1930s Harvard started admiting youngsters like my uncle who played baseball and went on to a career as a test pilot and senior officer, one to the guys with the right stuff that Tom Wolfe wrote about ("If Joe Kennedy can make it as an naval aviator so can I"). My brother-in-law played baseball for Harvard, too. His grandparents lived down the street from mine in Cambridge. They were the Portuguese people who kept goats in the front yard. It would be nice if my boy could go to Harvard and play baseball, too. But Cambridge is a long way from Arizona where we live, so our anxiety about Harvard, or the lack thereof isn't that great. The new Ivy League diversity might appear to be a case of turning back the clock on Catholics. On the other hand you can now go to Santa Clara, Holy Cross, Notre Dame, Fordham, or Georgetown and get a pretty good Harvard education, if you get my drift. My Baptist friends from Hawaii are thinking ASU or maybe Baylor. Maybe if Ross's family had worked in the cane fields in Hawaii or kept goats in the front yard in Cambridge he'd have something relevant to say to Americans who read Commonweal.
I am not comfortable with characterizing our nation as tribal. Perhaps it is the negative connotation from Indians tribes and all the troubles they have had (endured) over these past two and a quarter American centuries. The tribal way just does not seem like a recipe for success.On the other hand Jean - I am sad to see the Iroquois (tribe) team for Lacrosse did not get to play this year. I guess I do like some tribes!:)
I mean of course, the Iroquois were allowed to play in this year's Lacrosse world cup -
I think many of us retain more tribal qualities than we generally recognize. Reading in recent years about the tribal cultures of Iraq and Afghanistan, I have been struck by similarities in cultural and political practices. I will grant that in the U.S. many of these are more attenuated than in the Middle East, but.... if you have been reading the viral tale of Shirely Sharrod, Andrew Breitbart, Tom Viliseck, and others, there are certainly tribal qualities present. Still, I don't think tribal qualities are always so deadly, sometimes family solidarity depends on them.
"Perhaps it is the negative connotation from Indians tribes and all the troubles they have had (endured) over these past two and a quarter American centuries. The tribal way just does not seem like a recipe for success.Ken --You raise an interesting question here. What is "success" in the USA? What *should* (if any one thing) be considered "success"? I think we need a thread on it sometime.
Ken, I lived in the Michigan U.P. and had a chance to know many Native Americans and see how a modern tribe works. The only problem with the system is that white people won't leave it alone. There is still this itch to make them assimilate, which is interesting because nobody makes the Amish assimilate. And I'd say the German-Czech village where I live still hasn't assimilated. They're talking German on the Polka Palace show right now as I type this, and these people have lived here for three generations. Ann raises the right question: What is "success"? During one of the umpteen thousand fishing treaty wrangles, the state of Michigan sent in an African-American lawyer to try to negotiate with the tribe, thinking maybe the tribe could relate better to another "minority person." At one point, the lawyer asked the Chippewas something like, "Don't you want to have a nice suit, a hot car and a piece of the pie like the white man?" The tribal members gave a pretty long pause and looked at each other sideways, which was their equivalent of collapsing in laughter, and said patiently, "No. We want to fish."
Great story, Jean :-)
Sorry for the digression but the issue of tribalism touched a nerve for me.I envy those of you who have roots in such tightly knit, stable communities, tribal or otherwise. The loss of jobs in the northern Ohio area I'm familiar with (Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, etc) when the steel and auto businesses collapsed sent many people packing and destroyed local institutions, All they've seen of Schumpeter's creative-destruction paradigm is the destruction part.Anybody remember "Meet John Doe" or "It's a Wonderful Life" -- The "John Doe" societities were all about forming communities by reaching out to the stranger who lived in your neighborhood. Here's the Gary Cooper character speaking about overcoming anomie and alientation:[W]e've all got to get in there and pitch. We can't win the old ball game unless we have teamwork. And that's where every John Doe comes in. It's up to him to get together with his teammate, and your teammate, my friends, is the guy next door to ya. Your neighbor - he's a terribly important guy, that guy next door. You're gonna need him and he's gonna need you, so look him up. If he's sick, call on him. If he's hungry, feed him. If he's out of a job, find him one. To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger, a guy with a barkin' dog and a high fence around him. Now you can't be a stranger to any guy that's on your own team. So tear down the fence that separates you. Tear down the fence and you'll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices. Tear down all the fences in the country and you'll really have teamwork.You don't hear any of this from the Tea Partiers or anyone else. As for "It's a Wonderful Life", the Pottersville in the nightmare sequence has become a reality in a lot of places. Let's face it, Potter and all he stood for really has prevailed.
Antonio, you've articulated something I've been thinking for a while.That spirit of solidarity is pretty much evaporated. There was a time when a union supporter could talk about the "brotherhood of man" (apparently, this was pre-inclusive-lahnguage sensitiveity :-)) without a hint of irony.
In "Predictably Irrational" Dan Ariely divides our behavior patterns vis-a-vis our fellow humans into social norms versus market norms. Social norms govern behaviors such as sharing and gift-giving among frriends, family and community. Such norms are what makes us human and humane. Market norms rule our behavior as individual buyers and sellers in the cutthroat mileu of the marketplace. The problem is that we've come to believe that the only values that count are those of the marketplace.
Those movies Antonio mentioned were mostly from the 1930s, when times were tough, and people had to pull together. Not like now ...
"Those movies Antonio mentioned were mostly from the 1930s, when times were tough, and people had to pull together. Not like now "At least not yet -
Those movies Antonio mentioned were mostly from the 1930s, when times were tough, and people had to pull together. Not like now Yeah, not like now. See Matthew 25:36-40.
Sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate very well, I guess. I laugh when our prez says we've pulled back from the brink of a depression. Apparently he doesn't come to Michigan very often.
Minor digression:Re Conveying irony and sarcasm. I hate emoticons.Perhaps some grad student of linguistics will write a thesis on the semiotics of emoticons (if they haven't already).Back to the program in progress.
I wish people thought a bit more about what tribalism really entails -- the tendency to allocate various goods based on inclusion in a defined social group. Sharing leisurely pursuits is a cultural norm -- e.g., the German speaking bingo night -- that is unlikely to cause any great social upheaval. I don't consider it to be tribal in a fundamental sense, if the speakers get up and go to a job where they encounter non-German speaking co-workers and customers agreeably enough. Depriving others of food and water, on the other hand, or killing and robbing them or raping them and selling them into the sex trade because they aren't members of your tribe that you feel any compunction to protect -- all quite common in truly "tribal" places like Somalia -- that's a different thing altogether. In my very humble view, one of the truly good things that the West has a reason to be proud of has been a gradual, maybe too gradual, widening of who should be considered to be in the tribe for purposes of important goods, like education, health care, food, etc., culminating in an idea of "universal" human rights. Tribal is different from oligarchical. Tribal can rarely be transcended by achievement or even marriage, not without great social cost. And even in Somalia, as a Somali put it to me, the importance of tribe is a fluid thing that depends in no small part on the availability of resources and the willingness of tribes to work together. Indeed, even the definition of tribe is fluid and malleable. We don't have to be tribal.
Community would have been a better term. In that regard, based on Douthat's mention of Christorpher Lasch's "Revolt of the Elites", I bought the book. I guess you'd call Lasch a communitarian or a populist of the New Deal sort. While I don't agree with a lot of what he has to say (neither did Douthat), the ills resulting from the loss of community and the stratified, semi-nomadic life many now live resonated with me.

Hi, all,
I recently fixed a pretty minor bug with respect to slash insertion/stripping in the link edit window. I'm going to try and take a shot at a much more sinister issue I've seen with ping backs that I submitted a couple of weeks back.
My problem is that I don't have very much experience debugging PHP issues. Can someone offer some suggestions on where to start? Obviously something akin to a debugger would be optimal, but given that this may not be possible I'd love some suggestions on how to insert output statements so I can tell what's going on during execution. These two techniques, tried and true in the other languages I use, seem not to work in PHP.

This is one of the best movies of 2012. With rich performances, a riveting and articulate screenplay, meticulous direction and enough grounded emotional intensity to keep your pulse pounding, Hitchcock grabs you by the lapels like a suspense classic by Hitch himself - a knockout from start to finish.
This narrative directing debut by Sacha Gervasi remains absorbing and aptly droll despite a few dramatic ups and downs and, led by large performances by Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren.
Jessica Biel is Vera Miles, the star who had the nerve to get pregnant when Hitchcock wanted her for "Vertigo." He feels betrayed, and she feels relieved, consigned to a supporting role in Psycho as Marion's sister. And Toni Collette, in glasses and a dark wig, is Hitchcock's long-suffering secretary, Peggy. Both Biel and Collette are very good, engaging.
Hitchcock isn't ambitious or complicated. It's simple, does what it sets out to do, and gets out before anyone even thinks about checking the time. More movies should be made in its image.
When Hopkins' Hitch directs the audience by waving his hands like a symphony conductor - it's a nice callback to a Hannibal Lecter highlight - it's one of the best scenes of the year: a delightfully personal way to show how the story of "Psycho" concluded.
Hitchcock tells the story not so much as the making of the film, but as the behind-the-scenes relationship of Alma and Hitch. This is a disappointment, since I imagine most movie fans will expect more info about the film's production history.
Hopkins and Mirren are acting pros in stellar form. There's no way you want to miss the pleasure of their company in a movie that offers a sparkling and unexpectedly poignant look at how to sustain a career and a marriage.
Hitchcock largely succeeds at pulling back the veil on his off-camera personality. To a larger degree, it reveals the level of influence of his devoted wife and screenwriter Alma (Helen Mirren) on both his personal life and career.
Hitchcock is, well, fun. More fun than good, really. It feels weird to call it a disappointment, because it is entertaining. But you can't help feeling a little shortchanged on the deep-thinking front.
It's a feel-good frolic, which is fine for anyone who prefers their Hitchcock history tidied up, absent the megalomania, the condescending cruelty and tendency to sexual harassment that caused his post-Psycho blonde discovery Tippi Hedren to declare him "a mean, mean man."
There's fun to be had in the re-creation of indelible screen moments, including several with Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh and James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins.
Hitchcock is an amusing lark, but the clumsy way it dissects the director is for the birds.
I prefer [HBO's Hitchcock biopic] "The Girl," not because of its salaciousness but because it gets at something underneath the great (truly, great) director's skin.
Though the film is titled Hitchcock and ostensibly centers on the legendary director, we get a better sense of the women around him than the enigmatic filmmaker.
Hitchcock unspools at that deliciously silly juncture where biography meets fallacy. Translation: Any director who could crank out Psycho must be a crackpot himself.

However, the movie is really just a dramatization of the making of Hitchcock's "Psycho," where in historical facts are accompanied by embellishments and simplifications that serve to add humor and conflict. "Hitchcock" centers on the relationship between director Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) during the making of Psycho, a controversial horror film that subsequently became one of the most acclaimed and influential works in the filmmaker's career.
Anthony Hopkins is superb the title role, fitted with impeccable makeup and prosthetics, and Mirren is equally as impressive. This makes for a reasonably enjoyable watch for the audience, but viewers are unlikely to learn anything new of consequence about the Master of Suspense.

Excellent!!!I added a half cup more of both the ham and the cheese b/c we like more stuff than biscuit. It turned out great!! I should have made a double batch, they went fast!I wasn't sure if I should take it off of the heat when I added the flour and eggs, so I did and it worked just fine.Definately a make again recipe!! I made mine Tablespoon-drop size and it made about 38 of them. I made them to go with chili, but they would be good for breakfast too. Just make them bigger! Yummy!!
YUM! I tried these out tonight in preparation for Super Bowl. Very easy and very tasty. I'm sure they will be a hit! I'm anxious to experiment with different cheeses and filling. Excellent appy.
I needed a recipe to take to a party for before dinner snacks and chose this one. What a winner! Three people asked for (and received) the recipe.
I made them as directed using old cheddar and added in finely diced green onions. I used a rounded tablepoon and got 40 1 1/2 inch puffs and had a little mixture left over so made 4 twice that size so I coud taste them before taking them to the party. They would be awesome with soups, stews and chili. Tasty and easy they will be a regular here. Thanks so much for posting!

MIAMI -- Manny Diaz, one of the attorneys for Elian Gonzalez's Miami family, defeated former six-term mayor Maurice Ferre in a runoff Tuesday to lead the city for the next four years.
With all ballots counted, Diaz, who has never held public office, took 55.3 percent of the vote. Ferre finished with 44.7 percent.
Ferre and Diaz competed in a runoff after no candidate captured a majority in a 10-candidate election on Nov. 6.
In last week's election, Ferre, a Puerto Rican, took 8 percent more votes than Diaz, a Cuban-American. Both hoped to draw from the Cuban-American voters who backed Mayor Joe Carollo, voted out of office after finishing third. He endorsed Diaz.
"I voted for Manny Diaz. I sympathize with Manny because he is Cuban like me," said Georgina Martinez, a 72-year-old retiree who voted at a polling site near the Orange Bowl, where turnout was heavy early in the morning. "Ferre had his time."
With all precincts reporting, Diaz had 28,051 total votes, while Ferre had 22,718 votes. Voter turnout was estimated at 35 percent.
In the race for Miami Beach mayor, City Commissioner David Dermer defeated former state Rep. Elaine Bloom. With all ballots counted, Dermer had 6,469 votes, or 53.8 percent, while Bloom had 5,560 votes, or 46.2 percent.
Diaz represented Elian's Miami relatives during their protracted and unsuccessful custody battle with the U.S. government to keep the Cuban boy in the United States.
On Tuesday, Diaz, 47, rode to the Orange Bowl on the back of a 1954 fire engine, with sirens blaring and firefighters and supporters chanting his name. "I hope people judge me as a candidate for mayor ... with a long ambition for the city," Diaz said.
About 15 minutes later, Ferre, 66, walked into the Orange Bowl parking lot with his wife, Mercedes, and shook hands with Diaz and wished him good luck.
"I'm running so I can turn this city around," Ferre said.
The runoff was seen as a referendum on how Miami's government handled the Elian case. Ferre was drawing support from a coalition of non-Cuban-Americans, while Diaz was backed by many Cuban-Americans.
The issue fueled political sniping between Ferre and Diaz during the past week after a first-round mayoral campaign that had been called one of the cleanest in recent Miami history.
Ferre accused Diaz of running a campaign based on "ethnic divisiveness." Ferre claimed Diaz's campaign was behind phone calls to Miami radio stations and voters charging Ferre is anti-Cuban and backs former Attorney General Janet Reno for governor. Reno was widely criticized by some Cuban-Americans for ordering the raid that led to the boy being returned to Cuba.
Ferre denied supporting Reno because of his "respect for the Cuban-American community."
Diaz, in turn, denied his campaign was behind the phone calls, and said the charge is "classic Miami politics in the mid-1980s."

I used half and half cream instead of whip cream in order to cut down on fat...still came out great.
This was awesome!! I did go with the half broccoli/half cauliflower combo, and I also used cheddar cheese instead of swiss 'cause I really don't like swiss, and it turned out wonderful. The whole family enjoyed it. I'm sure I will be making this many times again for family get-togethers. I think it would also be great to add leftover cooked chicken or turkey to make a main-dish. Superb! Thanks! ~Manda
We love this recipe, I do not use the ham I add sauteed onions and a little sour cream and I top it off a little parmesan before adding it to the oven. Yummy!! Thank you!
