With all of the fury this summer about national health care reform, a huge energy and environmental issue has remained off the nation's radar screen.
But with the U.S. House of Representatives passing a "cap and trade" energy policy, officials say they expect a second bruising battle lies ahead on the economic implications of another Obama Administration priority.
To give the local business community a preview of the economic and energy issues that likely will be debated after health care reform, Grand Valley State University's energy center in Muskegon will host a half-day seminar on the topic.
The Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center in Muskegon will host "Coming to Terms with a Carbon-Constrained Economy," which is designed for West Michigan business and policy leaders. The free seminar is Sept. 10 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. at MAREC.
"There will be a clear business spin on this," said Arn Boezaart, interim director of the GVSU energy center. "We will look at the challenges and the opportunities. People might not like the concept, but the question is: Can we turn lemons into lemonade in West Michigan?"
The concept of "cap and trade" is to put a true cost on the burning of fossil fuels for energy production and provide economic incentives to lower the emission of greenhouse gases that come from the use of coal and natural gas to produce electricity.
The "cap and trade" system would have the federal government cap the amount of carbon to be released into the environment and allocate the releases throughout the country. A market-based system would allow those who can reduce carbon emissions to sell their rights to discharge to those with greater emission needs.
Proponents say the federal policy would reduce U.S. reliance on foreign fuels, ease global climate change and spur development of "green" technologies such as wind, biomass and solar power. Opponents say the needless regulations and costs will further hurt the economy, which already is in severe recession.
The GVSU seminar will explore the need for carbon reduction, carbon measurement and reporting, "cap and trade" systems and carbon inventory management systems.
The presenters will be: Ward Gahan of Danu Carbon and Energy Solutions, a South Haven consulting firm; Kyle Denning and Dan Kuipers of Viability, a Grand Rapids grant consultant; and Luis Otavio Calaferro, a Grand Valley State University student in the College of Interdisciplinary Studies.
Those interested in attending must register for the event before Sept. 8 by telephoning (616) 331-6900 or (616) 331-6905 or e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Commissioner race shuffles
The contest to replace resigning North Kitsap Commissioner Chris Endresen was set awry this week as one perceived frontrunner declined to seek the seat, another made a commitment to enter the race and a surprise candidate emerged.
Since Endresen announced her decision April 30, both Sen. Phil Rockefeller, (D-Bainbridge Island) and County Treasurer Barbara Stephenson emerged as first-tier candidates. While Rockefeller decided against running for the seat in order to stay in the legislature, Stephenson indicated she would actively pursue the position.
Additionally, county spokesman Clarence Moriwaki, who began his current job the week before Endresens announcement, will join the fray.
I love this county and I like my current job, Moriwaki said. But I will be in a better position to change things as a commissioner.
Rockefeller announced his decision on Thursday, saying that he wanted to stay where I am. There is still a lot I can do, and there are excellent opportunities for me to serve the public. Shortly after Rockefellers announcement Stephenson said I am going to make a run for it. There are a lot of issues facing to the relating to the budget where I have a good understanding.
Rockefeller, 68, was elected to the State Senate in 2004 after serving in the House of Representatives. He was named 2007 Legislator of the Year by the Washington Conservation Voters. Stephenson, 54, was elected to a second term as treasurer in 2006, at which time she was unopposed. Prior to her election she serves as director of the Kitsap County United Way.
Moriwaki, 51, said that several people encouraged him to run after Endresen announced her decision, He said he was flattered at first but then took the opportunity seriously. He said his policy and party experience sets him above the other candidates.
Stephensons abilities to manage budget issues and to win a countywide election work in her favor, as the appointed commissioner will presumably run for a full term in 2008. However, some Democratic Party members have questioned her party loyalty.
I know who I am and what I am, she said. And I believe that I am a good Democrat. Besides, most of the issues the commissioners deal with are nonpartisan.
Moriwaki, however, claims to have the strongest party credentials, having worked as a Democrat for more than 20 years. During this time he has worked for Gov. Mike Lowrey, President Bill Clinton and Rep. Jay Inslee, for whom he represented Kitsap County for four years.
Partisan loyalties arent really important in this job, Moriwaki said. Streams and parks are not Democrats or Republicans. But party experience will be very important in getting the nomination.
Currently, Planning Commissioner Tom Nevins and activist Chris Van Dyk are declared candidates. Martha and Mary's Director of Fund Development Robert Gelder and Poulsbo City Councilman Ed Stern are also considering the race.
All applicants will be reviewed by the Democratic Executive Committee, which will announce all candidates on June 4. The candidates will then attempt to win the votes of the approximately 90 precinct officers, who will select three names on June 18.
The remaining county commissioners will select one name from that list, presumably before Endresens June 28 resignation date. If they are unable to agree on a name Gov. Chris Gregoire will make a selection from the same list.
If Stephenson is selected the party will need to be repeated in order to fill the vacancy. If Moriwaki is not selected he said he will happily continue in his current position.
Anyone wishing to apply for the position should contact Party Chairman Carl Olsen (360) 698-6833 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Membership in the Democratic Party and residence in Commissioner District 1 are the only legal requirements for any candidate.

Opinion, Hometown Hero, Santa Monica, Columnist, Police Department, Wilshire Boulevard
What We Can Learn From Granny, Baby Attack
Hometown Hero: Anonymous Good Samaritan
Posted Jul. 31, 2011, 3:20 am
Susan Cloke / Mirror Columnist
A sunny, summer day, a good day for a grandmother to push her one year old grandchild in a stroller along Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica. Then the unthinkable occurred. It was shortly after 3:30 in the afternoon of July 11. A man tried to take the baby from the stroller. The baby was strapped into the stroller and the man could not get the baby out. He then began to try to choke the baby and to tear the baby's clothing. The grandmother defended her grandchild. The man attacked the grandmother and punched her in the face, all the while continuing to try to get the baby.
Then the obvious, the thinkable happened. A man who was also walking along Wilshire Boulevard came to the rescue of the grandmother and the grandbaby. A Good Samaritan who heeded the biblical command "to show mercy." He was able to keep the attacking man away from the baby but not without being attacked and injured himself.
I say the obvious, the thinkable, because he did what was right, he came to their aid. So how could it be that there was only one person who came to the aid of the grandmother and the baby? They were, after all, on Wilshire Boulevard near Centinela Avenue in Santa Monica. It was the middle of the afternoon on a nice day. Where were the people in the nearby stores or the other people passing by on the sidewalk? What about the many people driving by in their cars? Thank goodness for the man who came to their rescue. But how could it be that only one person stepped forward? The grandmother and the baby needed help. Their protector needed help.
There were four 911 calls, and maybe more, to the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD). The police arrived at 3:41 p.m., within three minutes of the first 911 call, a longer than usual SMPD response time due to the beginning of rush hour traffic.
The attacking man, now officially the suspect, physically attacked the first officer on the scene. They struggled, other officers arrived, and the suspect was arrested. He was taken to the Santa Monica Jail where he was booked for attempted murder, kidnapping, child cruelty, and assault, as well as other charges. Bail was set at $500,000.
The police did their job and did it well. The anonymous protector, our very own anonymous hero, did the right thing and did it without wanting recognition or reward. I am grateful for the presence of the rescuer, for his mercy, for his willingness to act and to protect the grandmother and the baby.
Not every one of us is strong enough, or well enough, or able to take on an attacker such as this suspect. And safety is always the first concern. But there are actions we can all take. First, we can and should call 911 and let the attacker know we have called. If needed in order to be safe, stand on the other side of the street and yell out that you have called 911. Second, be a witness. Watch and remember so that you can give information when asked. If possible, be part of a group of people all calling 911 and all letting the attacker know you are all calling and all watching.
The SMPD reports, "Many suspects who engage in assaultive behavior, will stop if they know they are being watched by many who are also in the process of reporting such activity." Again, the SMPD emphasizes, "Safety for everyone is the main concern."
Societies have myths and heroes going back as far as history can record. New myths and new heroes are continuously created. Many of the adults who witnessed this assault grew up with stories of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Yoda. Many are now reading Harry Potter and know Dumbledore and Sirius Black. Many know Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. We need and love these myths. We admire, even idolize heroes.
We can't all physically fight the forces of evil. But we don't need to be able to physically fight to do the right thing. Heroes come in all forms. They share qualities of empathy and mercy that move them to take action. It is their actions that define them.
Martin Luther King Jr., a real American hero, said "Morality is like a muscle, if you don't exercise it, if you don't do the right thing every time you get a chance, it will atrophy and, when you need it, it won't be there for you to use."
I am thankful the grandmother, the baby, and the man who came to their aid are recovering well. I hope that we, as a community will always be able to rely on each other when help is needed. I believe it is a wonderful gift to be in the right place at the right time to be able to help another person. It is a gift to the people involved and to the entire community.

People just don't care. I was attacked and after the attackers left I asked a bystander who saw it to call the cops. He didn't want to get involved.

The lesson learned is that the transients who our city indulges are very dangerous. If you read the "Crime Watch" section of the Santa Monica Daily Press you will find that most of the crimes are perpetrated by transients.

It will get worst with budget cuts. Don't bring babies in strollers around people. These babies are precious but people are being release from everywhere because of budget cuts. I have seen people kicking strollers, and assulting babies is going to get worst

Former Auburn running back Michael Dyer has picked a "big, D-I school," where he can start playing football again in August, according to Grantland.com.
Dyer's journey back to college football has included several bumps, a few visits to college campuses and two national stories (USA Today and Grantland.com) chronicling his road to redemption after leaving Auburn in 2011.
The "big" school that Dyer has picked is not identified in the story, however. Dyer has also agreed to submit to weekly drug tests, according to the report.
"It's a school where he can replicate and duplicate," Arkansas Baptist president Fitz Hill says in the story.
The MVP of the 2011 BCS title game is working to "rehabilitate" his brand, says Hill, who is working to tweak Dyer's image before returning to college football.
Dyer, who attended classes at Arkansas Baptist in the fall and spring, has tried to land at the University of Arkansas as a walk-on, but it appears that option is off the table, according to comments coach Bret Bielema made last week at SEC Media Days.
The Grantland story runs through Dyer's post-Auburn life, which started with a failed drug test and a suspension on The Plains and most recently ended at Arkansas State, where he ran into trouble before ever suiting up for the Red Wolves.

Ok I'm a relative newbie so I'll ask also. I ran 1/2" Heliax up my tower for HF. But 75 ohm CATV line can be used also? Being a cheapskate I'd much rather spend nothing so explain. My radio/amp wants 50 ohm but the feed line is 75 ohm and the antenna is some range also based upon freq.

It wasn't always likely, or probable, and at times, it didn't look possible. But in the end, behind a stingy defense, a take what you can get offense, and an all-or-nothing approach from head coach Bill O'Brien, Penn State prevailed Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium, beating Northwestern 39-28 in front of 95,769 to move to 4-2, and 2-0 in Big Ten play.
Trailing 14-10 at the half, Penn State outscored Northwestern 29-14 in the second half, and took the lead for the first time since early in the second quarter when quarterback Matt McGloin rolled out to his right on a broken play and scrambled 5-yards for the go ahead touchdown. Sam Ficken's extra point gave Penn State a 32-28 lead, and it was a lead the Nittany Lions wouldn't relinquish.
For a period of time, though, it looked like Northwestern was the team who had a lead they couldn't give away, before things went wrong for the No. 22 Wildcats (5-1).
After Penn State pulled within three points at 17-14 on a McGloin 8-yard touchdown toss to Allen Robinson halfway through the third quarter, Northwestern struck back, putting 14 unanswered points on the board. The Wildcats parlayed a 10-yard Kain Colter run and a 75-yard punt return from Venric Mark into a 28-17 lead. But as Beaver Stadium grew quiet, McGloin's offense went to work.
The senior quarterback marched his troops 82 yards on 18 plays, with just one play over 10 yards, and cashed in on arguably O'Brien's biggest gamble of the afternoon to that point, as McGloin found Robinson on fourth and four from the Northwestern six yard-line to start the comeback. The two-point conversion that followed cut Northwestern's lead to 28-25.
Then, after forcing a quick three and out from Northwestern, the Nittany Lions faced more adversity, as Brandon Williams punt traveled 64 yards, with the aid of a good Northwestern bounce, to the Penn State 15. But Penn State rallied again, going 85 yards on 15 plays, again converting a fourth down in Northwestern territory, this time at the Northwestern 19, and went ahead for good four plays later on McGloin's scramble.
Michael Zordich's three yard touchdown run with 1:30 left would be gravy, as the Nittany Lions remain undefeated in Big Ten play.
Zach Zwinak led Penn State on the ground with 121 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown, while Matt McGloin completed 35 of 51 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns.

TRENTON — A day after testimony concluded in his federal corruption trial, with a verdict yet to come, Trenton Mayor Tony Mack sent a letter to the Trenton city clerk saying he reserves the right to designate the individual of his choice to the role of acting mayor in his absence.
Mack sent the letter this morning, stating he is rescinding a letter from July 19, 2012, sent to then-clerk Leona Baylor that appointed Business Administrator Sam Hutchinson to the role of acting mayor in Mack's absence.
"I reserve the right to designate the individual I choose as Acting Mayor, when and if that decision is necessary," Mack wrote. "The person of my choice will perform all the rights, powers and duties of Mayor during such time as I may be unavailable."
Hutchinson said he does not know why the mayor would have changed his mind about designating the business administrator as acting mayor.
"I don't. I just got a copy of the letter myself," Hutchinson said.
According to state and city law, the mayor can appoint an acting mayor to have the powers of the office if there is a temporary absence, but if a vacancy occurs — for example, by reason of death, resignation or otherwise — the city council president will become the mayor until a successor is elected.
Mack did not respond to a request for comment today.
Mack, who is facing 20 years behind bars, is charged with six bribery and extortion counts connected to a parking garage project, which was in reality an FBI sting operation.
The government alleges that Mack accepted bribe payments from the purported developers in exchange for his official action.
Mack's brother Ralphiel Mack also is on trial facing six counts, including attempted extortion and agreeing to accept bribes.
Since their arrest in September 2012, both Tony and Ralphiel Mack have maintained they are innocent.
Tony Mack repeatedly refused to resign his post in the city's highest elective office.
The jury is set to return Monday to hear closing arguments in the case before beginning their deliberations on a verdict.
City Clerk Richard Kachmar said if Mack is found guilty, the office of the mayor will be vacant and Mack will not have a say in appointing his successor.
"Upon conviction he is immediately stripped of his powers," Kachmar said. "Upon his conviction that appointment would be put aside."
City council President George Muschal would hold the position temporarily until city council can have a meeting to appoint someone to fill the vacancy, Kachmar said.
Under state statute, the county prosecutor or the state attorney general would have to make an application to the court asking for an order of forfeiture of the office if Mack is convicted.
If it is accepted the order of forfeiture would be effective the date that the person in question is found guilty or pleaded guilty to the offense.
In the case of former Hamilton Mayor John Bencivengo, who was convicted of corruption last year, the Attorney General's Office made an application after the jury found him guilty.
Bencivengo resigned the day after his conviction.

Mayor Dave Bing says Detroit residents spend $200 million dollars a year on groceries outside the city, a figure that pales in comparison to the reported incentives used to lure a new Whole Foods store to Midtown.
Those incentives raised eyebrows in a cash-strapped city where most independent grocers have opened without assistance, but Bing believes the critics should be cheering.
"When good things happen, we ought to be celebrating it instead of trying to stick people unecessarily," Bing said Friday morning on WJR-AM 760. "We've had enough bad PR, enough bad things that have happened in Detroit over the past several years, that when good things happen we need to all get on board and celebrate it."
Whole Foods, a national grocer specializing in natural and organic products, this week confirmed plans to open a 20,000-square-foot-store at the northwest corner of Mack Avenue and John R Road near the Detroit Medical Center.
Bing celebrated the news on Thursday with company executives, local leaders and Sen. Debbie Stabenow. Heck, even Rush Limbaugh congratulated Detroit.
But as first reported by the Chaldean News and later lambasted by Detroit News columnist Nolan Finley, the Whole Foods project is expected to qualify for up to $4.7 million in state and city tax credits.
Finley spoke to local grocery store owners concerned that their tax dollars could wind up subsidizing their new competitor, but as our own Jeff Wattrick pointed out, Whole Foods is a different sort of store that caters to a unique market.
The Bing administration says Whole Foods will bolster Midtown's reputation as a viable residential neighborhood and attract other retailers -- ostensibly without the need for tax incentives.
"Let's put it this way, every inner city, almost, has had to use incentives to get national retailers to open there," George Jackson, president of the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. told Crain's. "Our goal is to not have to do this in the future."

INDIANAPOLIS — Matt Stainbrook had already spent months trimming his waistline so that Division I college basketball coaches wouldn't be scared away by his once 300-plus-pound frame.
But when Western Michigan University coach Steve Hawkins showed up to watch Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward High School's 6-foot-9 senior center, he told Stainbrook he had one concern: Ball-screen defense.
Early the next morning before school, as had been the case for months, Stainbrook was back in the gym with a St. Edward assistant coach.
"I told him that's what I've got to do, ball screens," Stainbrook said, "work on lateral movement and quickness."
The dedication to fix the only real question about whether he could play Division I, coupled with his touted basketball IQ and offensive game reportedly more than ready, was enough to garner a scholarship offer from Hawkins and Co.
Friday, Stainbrook accepted, verbally committing to Western Michigan. He plans to sign a letter of intent when the signing period begins in a couple weeks and be on campus July 1.
"We came to visit a couple Fridays ago and I really liked everything about it," Stainbrook said of WMU. "I really liked all the players and coach Hawkins and everything. It seemed like the right fit."
Hawkins can't comment on Stainbrook, per NCAA rules, until he signs.
Stainbrook is the fourth member of the Broncos' 2010 class — joining junior college big man Caleb Dean, who committed earlier this week, Detroit Pershing forward Juwan Howard Jr. and Ohio guard Kennis White, both early signees last November.
WMU has one more scholarship to give for either next year or 2011.
"He's a kid that once he gets in shape and has someone on him every day in terms of diet and everything, he has the capability of being a big-timer," said St. Edward coach Edward Flannery, whose program has recently produced big men such as Michigan State's Delvon Roe, former USC standout Sam Clancy and Indiana's Tom Pritchard.
Flannery said Stainbrook's basketball IQ, footwork, touch with the basketball and ability to play facing up or with his back to the basket makes him "a steal" for Western Michigan.
"We have a 6-10 junior going to Louisville," Flannery said of James Price. "Matt's skill set is a lot higher than his."
Stainbrook averaged 11.5 points and five rebounds per game this year "in a system with a lot of good players," Flannery said. "I've never had a guy score more than about 16 or 17 (per game)."
"He's a great student, about a 3.6 student, a good kid, great family," Flannery continued.
And, Stainbrook hopes, soon a slimmer kid than his 290-pound frame.
Stainbrook hopes to play at 270 pounds.
"I met the strength and conditioning coach," Stainbrook said of WMU's Tim Herrmann. "It looks like a great fit. It looks like he's ready to really push me and get me into great shape."
Even if Stainbrook sheds a few pounds, his game is no secret.
"Half of the battle with scoring, it's not always being the most athletic," Stainbrook began. " ... I'm not worried about fancy plays. I'll use my body and make sure it gets in the bucket.
"I'll hit the open guy. I'll makes sure the right guy has the ball at the right time."

24 stomach bug
My lil girl was feeling a lil queezy last night around 9 and 10 pm. I gave her some tums for kids for upset stomach and she fell asleep and slept all night. This morning she had stomach cramps and felt nausea. She threw up once and went the bathrrom 4 times. No diahaerea. I gave her Emetrol at 3pm and she took a nap and slept for an hour an half. When she woke up she felt nausea and had a fever of 101.5 I gave her childrens tylenol around 5pm and she hasnt complained about pains or nausea since. Her fever went down and she is just watching tv now until bedtime.
Did she have a lil bug? has it passed? or is the worse yet to come?
Sounds like a minor stomach bug. Not sure if it's passed. There was one going around here a couple of months ago, just like you described. They were fine in 24 hours, then halfway through their next day (usually back at school) it struck again for another 48 hours.
Hope she's feeling better soon!!
She may have eaten something that didn't agree with her. I think at 24 hours in, it would have been as bad as it was going to get at this point. Some gastrointestinal illnesses like samonella last 7 days or so, but peak is still at around the 24 hour mark with slow improvement. I think it would be safe to say you have seen the worst of it.
It's definitely hard to say - but either way, it sounds like she's feeling better, so I'd just go with it :)
Yesterday she was coming around after I gave her Emetrol and she took a nap. The throwing up stopped even though she only threw up once. After her nap she woke up with a 102 fever. I gave her meds that quickly brought it down then she ended up with the chills. Then that went away. The fever went back before bed and I did all I could to bring it down plus gave her more meds. It went down and she slept in my room and slept all night and was fine. Today she is afraid to eat becuz when she ate soup yesterday she brought it back up. All day yesterday I couldnt get her to drink except she drank her pedialyte after she threw up. But that was about it. I try giving her unsalted crackers, and jello, and applesauce but she refuses. She tells me she is afraid she will throw it up.
This all happen on friday when she was with her grandfather and some school basketball game. She didnt eat much at her grandparents and only had a cupcake at the game. Im thinking maybe it was the cupcake or maybe she caught a minor bug. Her grandfather now is in the same boat as she was yesterday today. But she didnt have as bad like her grandfather..she did have her flu shot so I guess that helped. I hoping she eats today just a lil becuz then she will start getting weak. :(
It could be a 24 hour tummy bug but if she is carrying fever still Monday I'd check with the Ped. Norovirus has been going around.
IDK..sounds like a 12 hour bug or something. You never know these days. My son puked once, a good amount, then vomited water and that was it. He slept a lot tho. Hope she feels better!
hope she feels bettr soon. there's so many different things going around right now.

It's time to adjust your business model
Michael Porter, the Harvard prof, became the guru of strategy with his seminal books in the early 1980s. During the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s he was considered passe; but he turned out to be right. And the current economic downturn is more fodder for his fertile mind. The following comes from an interview he did with INSEAD. http://knowledge.insead.edu/StrategyCrisisMPorter081011.cfm?vid=97
"The worst mistake in strategy – and it's a particularly bad mistake in a slowed economic downturn – is to compete with your competitors on the same thing. You want to find a different kind of value that you can deliver to a different set of customers. Strategy is fundamentally about how you're going to deliver unique value."
Delivering value is accomplished through a business model that is both efficient and differentiated. During these times you have to consider the totality of answers to the follwing questions:
- Do you have the right target customers?
- Is your value promise meaningful to your target customers?
- Is your value promise differentiated and defensible?
- Can you deliver the total offering effectively and efficiently?
Oh, in case you were wondering the same list of questions applies to both your company and to you. Employers buy your services. Should they continue to do so? What differentiates you from all the other people who could do your job?

AUSTIN - Though Zach Boxell is in his first season as Nazareth's boys basketball coach, he knows his players know what to do when it's state tournament time.
That's why when everything seemed to be going against the third-ranked Swifts late in their Class 1A Division II semifinal against No. 2 Goodrich, there were no signs of panic, especially from senior guard Dustin Schulte.
Schulte scored 23 of his game-high 26 points in the second half, including four free throws during the final 18 seconds, and Nazareth held off a furious rally by Goodrich to claim a 51-47 victory Friday at the Frank Erwin Center and a berth in the state title game for the second straight year.
It was the third time since 2001 the two teams had met at the state tournament. Nazareth beat Goodrich, 61-58, to win the Division II title in 2002 one year after Goodrich had defeated the Swifts, 62-51, to claim the 2001 championship.
Naz 51, Goodrich 47
Records: Nazareth improves to 18-6; Goodrich finishes 24-11.
Impact: The Swifts advance to their fifth state final in seven years.
Key Stat: Dustin Schulte scores 23 of his 26 points in the second half.
Taylor Schulte finished with 14 points to help propel the Swifts (18-6) into the championship game for the fifth time since 2001. A win today would give Nazareth its fourth state crown in six years. The Swifts will face Laneville, which defeated Garden City, 60-42, in the other semifinal.
"We just had to stick to the game plan," Dustin Schulte said of the Swifts' game-ending 14-4 run. "We knew we had to control the tempo because we knew they liked to get up and down the floor and try to put up 80, 90 points. They're going to get some steals and some layups because that's how they play. If we could stop that or limit it, we'd be in business."
For about 2½ quarters, that's what the Swifts (18-6) did, holding a 29-19 lead with 4:11 left in the third after a Dustin Schulte layup. Things got dicey for Nazareth from there.
Goodrich (24-11) answered the layup with an 8-0 run, including two Steven Chavarria 3-pointers that cut the margin to two, and the Hornets trailed 37-33 going into the fourth quarter. They struck with a 10-0 run to open the quarter for a 43-37 lead with 2:20 remaining.
"Our full-court press got us back in the game," Goodrich coach Lester King said. "We've had success all year long with that. At the beginning of the game and the first quarter, we didn't run it real well.''
Just as quickly as the Hornets got back into the game, the Swifts regained control as Dustin Schulte put his team on his shoulders. He answered the 10-point Good- rich run with three straight points, and his final 3-pointer pulled the Swifts to within 45-43 with 1:10 left.
Goodrich's Deshune Williams hit two free throws with 50.7 seconds remaining, but it would be the Hornets' final points.
Just 5 seconds after Williams' free throws, Taylor Schulte hit a layup and was fouled. He missed the free throw but got the rebound and was fouled and hit both free throws to tie the game at 47. Goodrich tried to run the clock for a final shot but turned the ball over and had to foul Dustin Schulte, who hit both ends of a 1-and-1 to put the Swifts ahead by two.
Williams drove to the basket but missed a layup with 5 seconds remaining, and Dustin Schulte grabbed the rebound and was fouled. He calmly sank both free throws with 1.8 seconds left.
NAZARETH (18-6) - Ramaekers 0 1-2 1, Clinton 3 0-0 6, T. Schulte 4 4-5 14, Rowland 0 0-0 0, D. Schulte 8 6-8 26, C. Cluck 0 0-0 0, Gerber 0 0-0 0, B. Schulte 2 0-0 4. Totals 17 11-15 51.
GOODRICH (24-11) - Duke 1 0-0 2, Bogany 0 0-0 0, K. Henderson 3 0-0 6, Wright 3 3-5 9, Williams 3 4-4 10, Chavarria 4 0-0 10, Clark 0 0-0 0, D. Henderson 5 0-4 10. Totals 19 7-13 47.
Nazareth 10 6 21 14 - 51
Goodrich 4 11 18 14 - 47
3-point goals: Nazareth 6 (D. Schulte 4, T. Schulte 2); Goodrich 2 (Chavarria 2). Total fouls: Nazareth 17, Goodrich 14. Fouled out: Nazareth, Ramaekers; Goodrich, K. Henderson. Technical fouls: None.

Due to large masses of ice on the Susquehanna River, the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in Millersburg has rescheduled its 18th annual Waterfowl Watch along the Susquehanna River from Sunday, March 9, to Sunday, March 16.
The 8 a.m.-1 p.m. event will be led by Scott Bills, land management group supervisor with the Pennsylvania Game Commission and learn about waterfowl and their seasonal migration patterns.
Participants will gather at the old Millersburg Gun Club headquarters, where the Wiconisco Creek empties into the Susquehanna River.
In past years, watchers have spotted bald eagles fishing the chilly waters of the river, in addition to a wide range of waterfowl species.
Binoculars, field guides, spotting scopes, a warm fire and hearty refreshments will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment and to dress warmly.

This is a Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) narrow angle image of gullies carved into debris on the south-facing wall of Nirgal Vallis, an ancient martian valley. The gullies were conduits for sediment that has accumulated at a point where each channel met the valley floor. The aprons of debris are superposed upon the large ripple-like dunes, suggesting that the gullies are younger than these bedforms. Gullies such as these might have been formed by a liquid, such as water, seeping from the layered bedrock exposed in the valley wall, or perhaps by mass movement of the smooth-surfaced debris that covers much of the lower two-thirds of the valley wall. This picture is located near 28.6°S, 41.5°W. The image covers an area 3 km (1.9 mi) across and is illuminated by sunlight from the upper left.

Vince McMahon has been desperately trying to recreate the mainstream media attention that wrestling enjoyed in the "Attitude Era".
Television ratings have fallen dramatically, pay-per-view buy rates are at an all time low and wrestling is no longer considered cool by today's youth culture.
McMahon has been trying to change this with each step seemingly more desperate than the last.
The attempt to gain mainstream attention by introducing a new celebrity guest host each week on Raw failed drastically with the latest "celeb" appearance, Snooki at WrestleMania, only attracting media attention for a few seconds.
Celebrities have always played a huge part in wrestling going back to the days when Mr T competed at the first two WrestleManias with perhaps the most iconic guest appearance being the face-off between Mike Tyson and Stone Cold Steve Austin, the hard men of their respective disciplines.
But this mindless celebrity culture on Raw did nothing to improve the ratings as most of them were there to plug a new project on national television. The fact that Snooki's WrestleMania match sucked in two exceptional young talents in John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler was also a disgrace.
The latest step that McMahon has taken is to disassociate himself with wrestling completely re-branding his company to cover all forms of entertainment.
This decision to branch out cannot have been justified on the success of the WWE films which have all failed to make a mark on the box office.
Wrestling has always enjoyed peaks and troughs and Vince is fighting a losing battle but here are ten steps that he should take in order to provide the fans with a more watchable product.

Firefighters were called out to the former Graphic Design business, next door to Pay Day Advance, around 2:50 a.m. When crews arrived, heavy smoke and flames were showing in the back of the building near a loading dock, said Battalion Chief John Babb.
Crews quickly took a defensive stance as the back wall fell down. Mutual aid from Grand Blanc and Davison were called in for use of their aerial ladders to put out the fire. It was quickly controlled. Fire crews are currently dousing out hot spots.
Babb said Dort Highway will be closed until the structure can be torn down.
"It has to come down," he said.
Babb said the front wall, which is the only one standing, is leaning and may tumble onto Dort Highway if it's not torn down.
There is no timeline as to when the road will reopen.
The road is closed between Davison and Ohio.
The building is believed to have been vacant. Arson investigators are on scene.

Dying and Murder are overrated. Writing about them is not.
That's what I used to think anyway. Until my first publishing contract with Midnight Ink last year. Then, holy-crap on a popsicle stick, I got a lesson in being an author!
See, it started with Dying to Know, my fourth book and first to be published. Dying to Know is a murder mystery with a paranormal twist—the story about Oliver Tucker, a fun-loving, wife-loving, take-the-world-by-the-horns homicide cop in my small home town of Virginia. Tuck is murdered in his own home and his world turns, well, weird. He returns to solve his own murder—Detective solve thyself! His biggest challenges are learning to be back amongst the living and not one of them and coming to grips with the fact that no one, including his wife, Angel, and former partner, Bear Braddock, are who he thought. Perhaps he was murdered because of his last case—a murder involving a retired mob boss, a local millionaire land developer, a New York hit man, and the local university elite. Or could it be that Bear Braddock, his best friend and partner for more than fifteen years, wants Angela? Tuck knows that everything surrounds Kelly's Dig where the discovery of Civil War graves may put an end to a multi-million dollar highway project. If it does, who stands to gain the most? Enough to kill? Throw in more than forty years of undiscovered murders and two haunting spirits dead set (pardon the pun) on getting Tuck's help in solving their murders, and you've got Tuck's first novel in the bag. Or the grave, as it were.
Well, that's what I thought. Until I learned there was a process. And by process, I mean the real work getting Dying to Know to market.
Okay, so here's a snapshot of my ten-month journey from contract to book launch.
Edits, Edits, Edits. But unlike the horror stories I've heard from other authors, Midnight was a pleasure to work with. The worst edit they asked for (yes, asked) was to change a few names because I was obsessed with "B and C" names. On Bernie, on Bear Braddock, on Bennie, yahoo! Now Caroline, and Christie Chapman, and Carmen, and Cal Clemens, too! Holy crap, how did I not see this? Rule #1: Read as a reader, not a writer.
Cover Art. Oh the trials of arteeests! My first lesson in being published—Don't argue with the publisher. It's rude. It's bad. It doesn't work. No, I wasn't a fan of my cover from Dying to Know, but as my agent pointed out, "You're a writer, not a publisher. Shut up and write books." Touché. In time, the cover would grow on me. Well, it really didn't, but it didn't matter either. Rule #2: Shut up and write books.
Get Your Name Out There! How? One of the missions of a new author is the drive to get your name out there. The question is easy—how? The answer, not so much. There are blogs, posters, and handing out bookmarks. There's radio (if you have a fabulous private publicist as I do) and there's begging friends and family to help. In fact, most of it is begging—please buy my book. For me, it's as natural as a prostate exam. As an anti-terrorism consultant and a former Government agent, the last thing in the world I'm interested in—or skilled at—is selling myself to strangers or anyone for that matter. So, it was, "Hello, I'm Tj the author. I am supposed to tell you about myself and my book. Let's skip that and you just buy it, okay?" Rule #3: Learn to sell yourself.
Write a Summary. Write a blog. Write your bio. Write another blog. Write a press release. Write another blog. Do Facebook. Do… Sure, okay, on it. But, when exactly do I find time to write my next book? Enough said. Rule #4: A writer writes… And Writes… And Writes…
The Magic Box in the Mail. Ten months of handwringing and blogs and posts and getting your name out all culminates in the most tear-jerking moment of your life. Your box of advance books from your publisher. The seal is broken. The flaps unflapped. The packing materials removed. Viola. That cover you didn't really like is suddenly the coolest thing you've ever seen in your life—your book—in print—staring back at you. Then, you do something absolutely silly. You grab the first copy, sign the title page to yourself, and sit down and read it. And it's good. Damn good. Even if you did just write it yourself. Rule #5: Be your best fan and reader.
Release Day. You may be surprised to know this day was anticlimactic for me. Maybe other writers would differ. I don't know what I was expecting—balloons, strippers, planes skywriting my name overhead, a giant beam of light flashing "Tj" in the night sky. I don't know. But the day came and went and nothing much except a few Facebook posts from pals I'd accumulated along the way with their kind congratulations. The New York Times forgot to call and congratulate me on my new best seller. So did Hollywood wanting it for a movie. No, it was just another day of handwringing about coverage, sales, and success. I used to think that the hardest part of being a writer was finding an agent and getting a book published. How wrong I was. The hardest part is having all that and wondering if it will last. Rule #6: Don't expect too much on release day. And no, no one forgot to call.
Book Release Party—Oh my! Nothing says it's worth it more than when sixty-five or seventy friends you invite to your party—and never expected to show—bust into your rented restaurant to devour great food and spirits and help you celebrate spending more money on a party than you'll probably make on your book. But what the hell, right? You only sell your first book once. Rule #7: Be happy you actually have sixty-five to celebrate with.
Conferences and Signings—What? I have to pay for all that stuff? Finally, some fun. There is nothing more gratifying than sitting in an independent bookstore and having total strangers come in to buy your book and have you sign it. They are friendly and interested and best of all, they're not family or your kids returning for a free meal or some cash. They ask cool questions like, "When's your next book coming out" and "Tell me about your life" and "How did the story come to you?" No, not, "Can I have a few bucks," (notice the word 'borrow' is missing from this request. It disappeared after they learned dads never expect repayment) or "What are you making for dinner?" or my fave, "You just sit at that computer all day and you call that work?" New fans are my favorite people in the world. I say second because my real favorites are my three Labs. Rule #8: Fans make the world go 'round—be kind, and thoughtful, and talk with them. But never loan them money.
"Hey, aren't you…?" I never thought fans would impact me—I've never been one who needed applause. But recently, a total stranger approached me at a conference and said, "Hey, aren't you that famous author who wrote Dying to Know?" I spit my coffee all over the table. I wanted to say, "Why, yes I am" but my reply was, "Famous, no. Not even close. But yes, I wrote Dying to Know." A conversation later, and I gave him a free, signed book. And I'll be sending him the next two in the series, too. Why? Because he was my first "Hey, aren't you…" And he may very well be my last. But what the hell. It was cool. Rule #9: There is a great fan out there… somewhere… for everyone.
In this torrent of events, I did manage to write Dying for the Past—Tuck's first sequel. Tuck's life, or death, begins to take focus now. He is on his way to understanding his role in the world—detective for the dead, or as my publisher calls him, the Gumshoe Ghost. In Dying for the Past, Tuck finds that dying is not for the faint of heart. And neither is the murder of a mysterious philanthropist with ties to the Russian mob and 1939 gangsters. He's hunting the killer of a wealthy, mysterious philanthropist after he's gunned down at his wife's charity ball—in front of 100 witnesses who all saw nothing. Tuck is on the case with the help of his wife, Professor Angela Tucker, and his former partner, Detective Bear Braddock, to find the killer and be the first to read "the book"—an old gangster's journal of the roots of espionage, racketeering, and corruption leading to the identity of modern-day powerbrokers and spies. Tuck finds a colorful cast of allies in a tough Assistant U.S. Attorney General, a secretive FBI agent, and the spirits of a long-dead 1930's gangster and his sassy girlfriend. As the case unfolds, so does the list of suspects like Angela's close friend and retired mobster, a Russian thug making his move into Winchester, a tenacious paranormal investigator stalking Angela, and the philanthropist's beautiful widow holding the key to millions of hidden loot and the location of "the book." Can Tuck stop the killing and unmask a traitor or will the book continue to keep its secrets? As Tuck searches to learn the secrets of "the book," he begins to unravel his own ancestry of mobsters, adventurers, and wayward spirits. Is being a ghost hereditary?
Dying for the Past will be out in January 2015. And I'm nearly done with the third installment of Tuck's case files, Dying to Tell—out in January 2016. Oh, there's other works but they aren't in the hands of any publishers yet… yet. Stay tuned.
So as you can see, writing about murder and dying is the easiest part of being an author. It's the publisher, public relations, blogs, posts, weekend drives to faraway lands for book signings and events. It's "Get you name out! Get a blog out! Get that "B and C" names out! Just get it out…" that's the hard part.
Now, I'm not complaining. I'm venting about all the things I never considered in this small club called published authors. If you're wondering like I was…Where's the private jet? Where's the town car to drive me to a signing? Where's the rooftop launch parties in Manhattan while beautiful readers swoon over my signature? When do I quit my day job? The answers are: Rowling has her jet this weekend. DeMille is using his car. It's raining in Manhattan anyway. And no, I cannot quit my day job—ever.
But even without the stuff dreams are made of, writing is a passion and a curse. I love doing it. I have to do it. If I don't, I will probably die and come back as an anti-terrorism agent seeking out bad guys with my three Labs.

Incredible shipper! I had two cars to ship, gave me a very fair price of $1,200, and worked with me all the way from my initial contact with them until the cars arrived. My car move was complicated by selling/buying a new house and a temporary layover time until I was in the new house. They worked this out with me and everyone at Ship Your Car Now, LLC were extremely pleasant and helpful, and the drivers were wonderful to work with.
Highly recommend this company. They were able to pull off in 6 days what another company could not do in 2 months. THANK YOU,,THANK YOU,,THANK YOU, FOR THE WONDERFUL SERVICE.

Changes at the Federal Way Mirror | Editor's Note
While no reporter is omniscient and can be everywhere at once, sports editor Casey Olson came pretty close in his 11 years at the Mirror.
Casey had a special connection with the Federal Way community, covering Friday night lights, regionals, state meets and interviewing countless young athletes.
Newsroom lore long after Casey is gone will be about his days covering a UFC championship in Sacramento, Calif., where he followed lightweight champion and Decatur High School graduate Ben Henderson. Casey was so close to the match that one of the fighter's blood spilled on his camera case.
Casey resigned his position two weeks ago to take on new challenges. He will be greatly missed, by the Mirror and the greater community.
My challenge now as editor is to determine how the Mirror will move forward and maintain our connection with the community — both in sports and our greater news coverage.
One of the ways we will excel at this will be through our strong news team, with the introduction of a new reporter — Raechel Dawson.
Raechel officially began last week as the Mirror's new general assignment reporter. I know Raechel well; I initially hired her two years ago, when I was the editor of the Kirkland Reporter. An award-winning journalist, Raechel will be a strong addition to the Mirror's newsroom with her keen desire to serve the Federal Way community.
So where does that leave our sports coverage?
Our newsroom will continue to cover sports, which has its place in the Mirror and is arguably what makes local coverage unique.
In the ever-changing world of community newspaper coverage, reporters by necessity are becoming more and more skilled in various capacities. While a reporter covering one beat is common at a metro daily, that is becoming more of a rarity at a local newspaper, where reporters are journalists, photographers, website administrators and copy editors.
The Mirror news team has donned our sports hat and you can still expect to see any one of us out on the field.
While we make this transition and as we explore new ways to cover sports, we want to hear from the community. What sports do you want to see the Mirror continue to cover? What is important to you in a community newspaper?
We also invite residents to help us acknowledge athletes' accomplishments by emailing email@example.com. We always welcome photos, sports results, story ideas and news about local athletes.

It's open season for local duffers.
Three golf courses in Western Massachusetts have opened for the season, with the annual New England disclaimer - weather permitting.
Oak Ridge GC in Agawam's Feeding Hills, St. Anne Country Club in Feeding Hills and East Mountain CC in Westfield are open.
Oak Ridge GC opened in full operation Thursday as head golf professional Eric Nelson said the public course was hoping to attract golfers anxious for an early start.
Up the road, St. Anne CC opened all 18 holes Friday.
East Mountain CC was up and running Saturday. The family-owned course has traditionally been one of the few area courses to stay open through the winter, but winter wouldn't have it.
"We've been closed since early December," East Mountain CC head golf professional Ted Perez Jr. said. "We had a couple of days in late December, but it was 30 degrees and windy. We were closed for longer last year, which is very unusual for us."
A handful of other area public and semiprivate golf courses said they did not plan to open before next week, at the earliest.
A couple of warm, dry and breezy days can make a huge difference, as can a bunch of late winter snow. Stay tuned.
EXPO TIME: Get ready for the Holyoke Golf, Sports and Entertainment Expo next weekend.
The season-opening golf show runs Friday through Sunday at Holyoke Community College's Bartley Athletic Center. General admission is $8, kids 12 and under are admitted free.
A premium ticket of $20 includes rounds of golf at Tekoa CC in Westfield, Hickory Ridge CC in Amherst and Stanley GC in New Britain, Conn. Both admission tickets include a one-year subscription to Golf Digest. Expo hours Friday are 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday follows from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Westernmassgolf.com is offering a "season pass," which includes seven rounds of golf at select courses for $49. For a limited time, a bonus round of golf at Gillette Ridge GC in Bloomfield, Conn., will be included.
For more information, call (413) 535-6058 or on the Web westernmassgolf.com
GOLF '09: The Republican's annual preseason is set for publication March 29.
Seasonal updates and golf course information sheets should be submitted by fax to (413) 788-1259 by course pros this week.
Local pros interested in participating in the newspaper-sponsored women's group golf clinic series need to submit dates and times by phone at (413) 788-1327, or e-mail email@example.com by Friday.
TEE PARTY: The Western Mass. Tee Party is preparing for its April 30 festivities, which will honor local teaching pro Daril Pacinella. Twin Hills CC in Longmeadow will host the popular golf tournament and awards dinner.
A 1 p.m. shotgun, with five-somes, will be limited to 32 teams. Golf and dinner tickets sell for $80, with dinner only at $30.
The event serves as the unofficial start to the local golf season. Pacinella runs the Daril Pacinella Golf Academy at Longhi's Driving Range in Southwick. He was previously a club pro at CC of Wilbraham, The Blandford Club and Suffield (Conn.) CC. For more information, visit the Web site wmassteeparty.com

This January, a legendary singer will lend her voice to the fight against of Parkinson's Disease.
Light of Day, the Asbury Park festival that has grown into a worldwide series of performances to raise money for Parkinson's Disease research, has netted Darlene Love for its main event. The singer and actress, who did her best-known work with legendary producer Phil Spector in the 1960s, will join sharp-witted singer-songwriter Willie Nile, rousing punk rocker Jesse Malin, Asbury favorites Joe D'Urso and Stone Caravan, Pittsburgh working-class heroes Joe Gruschecky and the Houserockers and others at the
Paramount Theatre on Jan. 19.
The concert will be the centerpiece of the Light of Day Festival, which is now in its 13th year, but it's by no means the only show in town. From Jan. 17 to 21, more than 100 artists will sing from nine different stages in a shore town distinguished by its place in rock history.
Just like last year, there will be a Light of Day concert at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York on the Wednesday before the Asbury events begin (Jan. 16). Other artists coming to Asbury Park for Light of Day Week include the much-loved Wayne power-pop combo Dramarama, longtime Paul McCartney sideman Denny Laine, and roughneck Shore-rocker turned Nashville hit songwriter John Eddie.
But all eyes will again be on the Paramount show, where Bruce Springsteen has been a near-annual not-so-surprising surprise guest. Springsteen's astonishing Light of Day appearance at the Paramount this January set the tone for his active year: The Boss came ready to rock and held the stage well past the witching hour. He delighted the Paramount crowd with an acoustic cover of "Incident on 57th Street" before joining the Houserockers for a full-band set.
Even if Springsteen doesn't make an appearance, rock fans should be happy to see Love in action. During the course of her collaboration with Spector, she gave her voice to some of the most gleeful singles of the early '60s, including "He's a Rebel," "He's Sure the Boy I Love" and "Wait 'Til My Bobby Gets Home." "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a seasonal favorite, is frequently anthologized on holiday collections.
Love was often uncredited for the work she did at the time, but her talent and significance were championed by members of the E Street Band. Love was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.
Malin, Nile, Grushecky, D'Urso and others are regular attractions at the festival — together, they constitute an extended Light of Day family, held together by their believe in the cause, and in the consciousness-raising power of guitar rock.
Tickets for the Paramount concert will go on sale through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. Saturday; call (800) 745-3000 or visit ticketmaster.com. For information on other Light of Day events, visit lightofday.org.

The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC) will celebrate the publication of its new coffee-table book, "The Nature of the Meadowlands," with a special book talk and signing by author Jim Wright of the NJMC and former Gov. Thomas H. Kean, who wrote the book's foreword.
The public signing and talk is planned for Monday, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Meadowlands Environment Center, 2 DeKorte Park Plaza in Lyndhurst.
The illustrated,128-page book also celebrates the landscapes and parks, including the Kearny Marsh, Secaucus' Laurel Hill and DeKorte Park.
At the talk and signing, Kean will speak about the environmental recovery chronicled in "The Nature of the Meadowlands" and Wright will give a slide show talk highlighting its striking photography.
To register for the event, or to reserve copy of "The Nature of the Meadowlands," call (201) 460-4637 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

ORLANDO — After a loss like the one Rutgers incurred against Louisville, the last thing Gary Nova would have normally wanted was time off. The competitor in him usually wants to get right back toward making amends.
But with Rutgers' offense struggling over the final four games of the season — and with key injuries affecting the unit's production — the sophomore quarterback knew that time off was exactly what this team needed.
"I think it really helped us," Nova said of the nearly four weeks Rutgers will have gone from the regular-season finale against the Cardinals to Friday's Russell Athletic Bowl against Virginia Tech. "We were able to get healthy, and we were able to get back to the basics."
The basics for this offense really come down to one thing: being able to run the ball.
Rutgers did that against Cincinnati but produced just one touchdown, didn't against Pittsburgh (one touchdown and 50 rushing yards) and didn't against Louisville (two long passing touchdowns and 54 rushing yards).
Those were the final three games of the regular season.
They were also games in which running back and 1,000-yard rusher Jawan Jamison was slowed by an ankle injury and when starting right guard Andre Civil was sidelined, also with an ankle injury.
Over the final three games, the Scarlet Knights didn't produce a rushing touchdown.
"I think that's been a big goal of ours, getting back to playing the kind of offense that got us to (9-1)," Nova said. "Coach (Kyle) Flood told us that every time we've had a 100-yard rusher we haven't lost. That's big. Getting Jawan back and having (right guard) Andre Civil back and knowing we'll be full go the day of the game is something we think will get us back to what we've been doing."
• PK Nick Borgese, who started the final seven games while Kyle Federico was sidelined by a hip injury, suffered a back injury during practice at Dr. Phillips High School yesterday, Flood said.
But Federico, finally returning to health, kicked a 47-yard field goal during the session, leaving the starter at the position uncertain. Flood said he would monitor the situation through the end of the week before making a decision.
• Jamison, the MVP of last year's Pinstripe Bowl, has played before at the Florida Citrus Bowl, the site of the Russell Athletic Bowl.
The Bolles School won the Florida Class 2A state title there his junior year and the 1A championship his senior year.
"I had over 100 yards both games," Jamison said. "That place has been good to me."
• Flood said that Jamison and Savon Huggins would both get tailback carries while Civil and Taj Alexander will split time at right guard, at least at the outset. Civil missed the final three regular season games with an ankle injury, with Alexander filling in.

EU currency system is broken and needs fixing
The Eurozone must be redesigned as a full monetary union to avoid another crisis, says Colm McCarthy
Published 14/07/2013 | 05:00
THERE has been a remarkably weak policy response to the Eurozone crisis relative to non-euro countries equally affected by the financial crash. Others have responded more effectively, notably the United States where a sustainable recovery seems finally to have commenced. The manner in which the Eurozone was constructed in the 1990s is the main problem. It is just a common currency area without the necessary institutions that would make it into a proper monetary union. Add in the absence of the Franco-German political leadership that traditionally fixes problems in Europe and the nightmare for distressed Eurozone members could have several more years to run. "If it's not broken, don't fix it" may be a sensible motto for business and political leaders, but it has a corollary: if it really is broken, you had better quit pretending. After five years of sticking plaster non-solutions, it is now abundantly clear that the European common currency system is broken and needs to be fixed.
European leaders need to clean up the mess that has emerged in the European banking system and in the sovereign debt market since the crisis erupted in 2008. They also need to prevent the next crisis through re-designing the common currency area as a full monetary union. Instead, they have persistently avoided measures that would address the sovereign debt crisis at its core (for slow learners, several Eurozone members cannot sustain actual and prospective debt levels), and remain in denial about the fragility of the European banking system. There cannot be an integrated Eurozone financial system – the principal benefit promised on adoption of the Euro – without a banking union. This means centralised bank supervision, centralised rules for resolution (including closure where needed) of failing banks and system-wide deposit insurance.
All 50 states of the USA are members not only of a common currency area but of a banking union. The three critical functions of supervision, resolution and deposit insurance are conducted at federal level. Had they not been, some states that experienced the largest bubble capital inflows and consequently the worst financial excess would now be in serious trouble. The US financial system would have fragmented geographically, with the highest interest rates charged in the most distressed states. But the dollar zone system, which certainly failed to the degree that there was a serious banking bust, has succeeded far better than Europe in distributing the losses (including to bank creditors) and moving on. The distribution of losses in the Eurozone was left to national governments and to fitful and hesitant collective action cobbled together reluctantly and far too slowly. The result has been an arbitrary distribution of losses, as well as losses magnified by the consequent deep recessions in several member states. Under its then president Jean Claude Trichet, the European Central Bank reacted initially in a manner that denied the extent of the banking crisis and added to the costs of the debacle.
There has finally been agreement in the Eurozone on a limited centralisation of bank supervision, the least important component of banking union. The European Central Bank will recruit up to 1,000 personnel who will supervise Europe's largest banks directly, leaving the smaller institutions to local supervisors. This can only be an improvement on what went before and should have been a feature of the euro design from the beginning. It is also excellent news for Lufthansa, whose Frankfurt hub should enjoy a useful boost to business traffic. But there has been no political agreement on new rules for bank resolution, a far more important issue than better supervision.
One of the lessons of history is that banks are fragile institutions and there will always be management failures. Supervisors will never spot and prevent every emerging bank crash, although they can certainly do better. The key question is what to do when the next banking disaster comes along, as inevitably it will. The answer is a pre-agreed system of bank resolution at European level, assigning losses in advance to bank shareholders, bank bondholders and finally to uninsured depositors. The continued absence of a proper system of bank resolution ensures that the next European banking crisis is more likely to happen and will be more damaging when it comes.
Bank resolution does not avoid the losses from bank failure. By the time the banks begin to fail the losses have already occurred, in the form of the foolish real-world investments they have financed. A good resolution regime will discourage poor bank management in the first place, through warning bank creditors to be vigilant, and will distribute those losses in the least damaging fashion. A lamentable feature of the mishandled Eurozone banking bust has been the failure to impose sufficient losses (until Cyprus) on careless investors in bank liabilities. A resolution regime needs to begin with bank regulation, the rules about how much equity capital a bank should have and about the adequacy of cash resources. The supervisors are there to ensure that the regulatory rules are observed. In the Eurozone, bank lobbyists have been resisting tougher bank capital rules, deploying specious arguments about potential damage to bank customers, and they appear to have been succeeding.
Bank lobbyists have been less successful in both Britain and the USA, where a tougher bank capital regime is in prospect. Tough bank capital rules make bank busts less likely, as do better rules requiring banks to hold adequate liquid assets.
The European bank lobbyists have also been seeking a continued role for taxpayers in helping to bail out creditors of bust banks. Remarkably, they appear to have been succeeding here too. The bank resolution plans announced by the European Commission in Brussels during the week continue to envisage that both national and European-level funds would be available for resolving failed banks. Several European governments, including our own, have zero capacity to inject further funds into failing banks, and the European political leadership are well aware of this. But Germany appears unwilling to countenance the essential severing of the doom-loop between insolvent banks and insolvent governments, and has been resisting the Commission's proposals. These proposals, while an improvement on the vacuum that went before, are in any event less decisive than bank resolution measures taken and contemplated in Britain and the USA.
On the third component of banking union, a centralised system of deposit insurance, there appears to have been no progress at all. There is no monetary union unless depositors regard funds in all banks in the Eurozone as equally safe up to whatever limit is agreed, and there will be retail bank runs whenever people get worried about banks in a country whose treasury is already bare, which means rather a lot of countries right now. The consequences of not centralising deposit insurance have been seen most vividly in Cyprus, where deposit accounts (including deposits in solvent banks) were frozen.
In addition to its lack of enthusiasm for centralised supervision and opposition to the European Commission's proposals for bank resolution, Germany also appears to be the principal opponent of centralised deposit insurance. If there is to be no meaningful banking union, there will be no proper monetary union in Europe. Since the distressed countries cannot easily leave the Eurozone, they become trapped in a system that has already been shown to be unstable and that, moreover, is refusing to take the steps essential to ensure long-term stability.
Ultimately, the crisis is not just about economic recovery and the best path to monetary stability. The bigger issue is the project of European integration itself. It is becoming easier to view Ireland's decision to join the Euro as a mistake, not least because it is impossible to depart. There are doubtless many who hold similar views in some of the southern European countries. But there are fewer people who would view membership of the union itself in the same light. Has a successful project (the union) been damaged by a premature and ill-designed rush to an unstable common currency with little evidence of intent to reform?
The German elections are in September, and perhaps the next Eurozone crisis will be kept at bay until the new government has emerged. At that point, either the common currency area is transformed into a durable monetary union, with all legacy issues squarely addressed, or the European leaders further damage the union in the cause of the misbegotten currency.
