If snow is involved, a story about a golfer usually involves the fact that he or she:
- Played when it was so cold it started snowing;
- The dare -- "I dare you to play in the snow;"
- A Chili Open -- an event played during the winter with black/orange or dark colored golf balls on a snow-covered course. Usually, these rounds are a few holes and played for charity. It's the golfers' version of the "Polar Bear Clubs" -- individuals in the north jumping into freezing lakes or rivers for charity.
This past week the story was a little different.
This story involves men's assistant coach Chris Whitten helping out both his squad and the U-M women's golf team.
Of course, "Snowmageddon" came a few weeks after it was predicted, and this past Monday morning we found ourselves under close to 10 inches of the white stuff. A few more inches on Monday night didn't help the situation, creating small problems for some and havoc for others.
So, when Whitten arrived at University Michigan Golf Course clubhouse Tuesday dressed in his normal attire -- for a golfer that means golf clothes, of course -- he noticed a potential issue.
Whitten, who did not accompany coach Andrew Sapp and the team on their trip to the Puerto Rico Classic, knew both golf teams would be returning late that night -- the women's team of head coach Cheryl Stacey had traveled to its second competition of the year, in Parrish, Fla. -- and he noticed their cars. The cars were parked before the snow fell and had been sitting outside through the nearly 10 inches of snow and freezing rain. Add the wake of the snow that was pushed toward the cars by plows cleaning the area, and there was a couple feet of snow and ice packed around each automobile.
Whitten didn't "putt" around, he jumped into action.
He wrapped garbage bags around his shoes (yes, golf shoes without the spikes) and his pant legs and spent the next few hours digging cars out of the snow and then cleaning their windows, with golf course employee Steve Plunkett helping finish the project.
"It was about a half dozen cars he had to dig out and clean," said Michigan Golf Course general manager Chantel Jackson. "The snow was piled up so high I wish I could have taken a picture of what was happening."
"If we had an employee of the month award, Chris Whitten would have to be the winner," said longtime clubhouse manager Charlie Green. "He went well beyond what most any of us would do to make sure that when the teams returned at 1 a.m. they wouldn't have to spend the next hour or so digging out."
Kudos to Chris Whitten -- he went above and beyond his duty as a golf coach.
And now, if he says one of his golfers has a swing like someone shoveling snow, one can easily say with confidence, "Whitten knows what he is talking about."

BALTIMORE, Md. - Jack Doherty (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) scored with one second remaining in overtime leading the Marist men's lacrosse team to a thrilling 10-9 victory over Towson Friday night. The win moved the Red Foxes to 4-0 on the season.
Doherty scored a team-high four goals on the night and Drew Nesmith (Montclair, N.J.) registered four points on three goals and an assist. Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y.) had a goal and an assist and long-stick midfielder Patrick Eaker (Redding, Conn.) scored his first career goal. Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.) made 12 saves in the Marist goal, including two in the overtime period.
Nesmith got the Red Foxes on the board first, scoring just thirty seconds into the game on an unassisted tally.
Towson (2-4) scored the next two goals to take a 2-1 lead with 11:04 left in the first quarter, but Mike Begley (Brookeville, Md.) evened things up at the 6:56 mark on an assist by Aedan Herman (Stafford, Va.). Nesmith put Marist back on top off of a feed from Jim Marks (Camillus, N.Y.) just two minutes later.
Towson scored twice in the final 2:08 of the quarter to reclaim the lead and once again just 1:30 into the second quarter to go ahead by two at 5-3.
Eaker scored his first career goal at the 11:52 mark to pull Marist within one with 10:14 left in the half.
After a Towson goal, Doherty scored his first of the night, on an assist from Connor Rice (Penfield, N.Y.).
However, Towson answered just 36 seconds later to again take a two-goal lead at 7-5, with 4:05 left before halftime.
Nesmith completed his hat trick with a man-up goal with 1:38 remaining to bring the score to 7-6. That score stood at halftime.
Radin evened the score just 1:28 into the third quarter and Doherty put Marist back in the lead with 7:46 on the clock with an unassisted goal.
Towson scored twice in an 11-second span to retake the lead, but Doherty knotted things back up at nine with a goal assisted by Radin at the 3:54 mark.
The two teams remained scoreless through the fourth quarter as Scarcello made four saves to keep the Tigers off the board, setting up Doherty's heroics in overtime.
Marist returns home next Saturday, March 16 to open conference play against Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference opponent Detroit.

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine
June 23, 2017
Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in some foods and drinks. These include liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, and beer.
Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys. From there, it passes out in urine. If your body produces too much uric acid or doesn't remove enough if it, you can get sick. A high level of uric acid in the blood is called hyperuricemia.
This test checks to see how much uric acid you have in your blood. Another test can be used to check the level of uric acid in your urine.
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
You should not eat or drink anything for 4 hours before the test unless told otherwise.
Many medicines can interfere with blood test results.
Your doctor may also tell you to stop taking any drugs that may affect the test results. Never stop taking any medicine without talking to your doctor.
This test is done to see if you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. High levels of uric acid can cause gout or kidney disease.
Your doctor may also order this test if you have had or are about to have certain types of chemotherapy. Rapid weight loss, which may occur with such treatments, can increase the amount of uric acid in your blood.
Normal values range between 3.5 and 7.2 mg/dL.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The example above shows the common measurement range for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Greater-than-normal levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia) may be due to:
Lower-than-normal levels of uric acid may be due to:
Other reasons this test may be performed include:

Chances are, if you are like pretty much anyone I know, you have a box or two of old power cords that you don't know what to do with. Everything you order nowadays seems to include all the cords you would need, so the old ones pile up. So what do you do with all those leftovers?
First off, it is not the best idea to just throw them away. Most places have laws again improper disposal of electrical component. Electronics often have toxic chemicals, such as mercury and lead, in them. Cords can also be a hazard and should be disposed of properly.
The first thing I would do is see if any friend, neighbor or relative has a need for any of the cords. They may also have a big box, but maybe you have just the cord they have been looking for!
With all the cords you have left over, look into local e-recycling programs. These have become popular services in the past years, as a recent study has found the average household owns approximately 24 electronic products. Most of these places will also take the cords. Many have e-recycling events or permanent drop off locations. A great resource for this is Earth911. By clicking on Recycling Search, and typing in Electronics near my city, I found many resources that listed cables along with other electronic devices.
Finally, check with some of your local electronics retailers. Most Best Buy stores have a recycling program in store, as do others, and will accept the cords. Other places may take donations of your old electronics and cords.
Here are some resources for more information about the issue:

Perhaps, those supporting the Palestinian cause foolishly believed it was actions of Israelis that prevented the achievement of peace, but new evidence has come forth which accurately focuses the source of problems in the Middle East–women smoking water pipes in Public! Hamas has once again struck at women whose behavior is a cause for concern, and, in most cases, much more than that of Israel soldiers. Hamas in Gaza issued an edict regarding behavior of women in cafes. "It is inappropriate for a woman to sit cross-legged and smoke in public." Not only do such actions destroy the goal of peace and defeat of Israel, it leads to husbands realizing they are married to a loose woman and they will seek a divorce. Actually, there is nothing in Muslim law preventing women from smoking a water pipe, at home or in public. Many middle class women in Gaza hit the water pipe when with friends and seeking to loosen up the mood. Hamas has previously forbidden women to ride on motor cycles since it claims that is forbidden.
I am confused, since there were no motor bikes in old days, how does anyone know which forms of modern transportation are or are not in accord with tradition? As Haya Ahmed, a 28 year-old accountant in Gaza notes: "Everything forbidden becomes desirable."
I wonder if Hamas could declare peace with Israel is forbidden, hopefully, that goal will then become desirable.

MBA Info
Online MBA
"Choosing a distance-learning program is just as difficult and just as important as choosing any other type of MBA. Try to avoid the temptation to opt for a programme that looks "easy" in terms of workload" ("Which MBA?", 2005).
The 1960s and 1970s saw a rise in the development of distance- learning MBA programs as an alternative to the traditional MBA. In the United States, the cost of traditional resident education was rapidly growing and American society was becoming more and more mobile. Another important factor of distance-learning development was the early success of Britain's Open University. Since then, public acceptance of distance MBA degrees has increased steadily. A sharp increase in the number of well-established and recognized MBA schools offering distance MBA degrees has led to greater public acceptance. Distance learning offers a certain number of advantages and develops a particular set of important skills in short, it allows for greater explanatory and cognitive learning as compared to traditional face-to face learning, which in turn heightens and improves "social and procedural learning".
Two modes:
- Study at home combined with seminars, group work and traditional classroom sessions.
- Programmes designed for people who prefer working on their own and who are not looking for interaction with, or feedback from, fellow students. You will work at your own pace at home or while travelling.
- Relatively inexpensive
- Easier access to top-level business schools because of broader open admissions criteria
- Ability to keep a full-time job
- Flexibility
- No geographical limits
- Ability to study at your own pace
- Minimal face-to-face interaction
- High drop-out rate
- Limited networking services
- No accreditation system
Is the online MBA right for you?
Candidates considering an online MBA know that these programmes fall into two broad and overlapping categories: a virtual format based almost exclusively on online communication, and a blended version where students in the same class are expected to come together to...
Three years or longer
No geographical constraints
5,000 to 40,000 euros
Admissions requirements:
A Bachelor's degree, essays, TOEFL and at least three years of work experience.
Employer Sponsorships:
Employers are more willing to pay for the distance learning MBA than for any other MBA programme.
- Various study materials: course books, a study guide, CD-ROMs, videotapes, audiotapes and website access.
- Online lectures delivered by video conference, which allow live interaction between students and the lecturer.
Career services:
Most students are sponsored by their company. After graduating one is likely to stay with the company, which can lead to a limited access of career services.

Last year I started something that I think will become a tradition in our home, an "I'm thankful for you breakfast". The kids are out of school today and daddy was able to stick around a little longer, so we did our breakfast this morning. It's nothing fancy, just a time I get to tell them how thankful I am for them and a little Thanksgiving fun.
Grandma and Grandpa sent a big box of goodies earlier this fall, so most of our table decor and activities came from this box. I used large sheets of construction paper for place mats so they could draw and use their stickers to decorate it.
We started breakfast out with a "turkey salad". It's made from a pear half, orange slices, a cherry for its snood and candy eyes. It was your basic pancakes and bacon for the rest of the meal.
What you have to eat isn't really the focus of this breakfast. What they really love is hearing all the reasons you're glad they're your kids and how thankful you are for the family. Big smiles! They eventually start telling you and their siblings why they're thankful for them too.
Each of the kids had a sticker turkey to decorate (found in the Target dollar bins). I usually don't care for crafts like this one too much, but I will have to say it turned out kinda cute.

Hello! I'm new to the forums but have been leooking on here almost a year now.
I'm planning to sratchbuild a Fett bucket using a hardhat for the dome. I bought it at Home Depo.
The hardhat had a raised arrow shape pointing to the front (like this ^). I used a rotary tool to cut it out. I plan to PVC cement a piece of "For Sale" sign to plug up the hole. Then I will fill it with Bondo and smooth it out.
Let me know what you think for this beginning. I will post pics of my progress soon. Thanks.

By Joe Brewin
Thomas Vermaelen insists he does not need matches to bed himself back into the Arsenal first team.
The Belgian international made his long-awaited return from injury in the Carling Cup win over Bolton on Tuesday night after two months on the sidelines.
Vermaelen was in good spirits after completing 84 minutes and he doesn't buy into the theory that players need time to find their 'match sharpness'.
"I feel great," Vermaelen told Arsenal Player. "I trained yesterday with the team and I felt good straight away so I felt confident for tonight.
"Personally I don't believe in that [needing games to regain sharpness]. If I come back from injury after a long time I don't believe in coming back and getting rhythm.
"I think it is just in your head and a mental thing - if you are a football player you have to be there straight away. That's why I wanted to play today and I think it's good.
"It was a good game for us, we fought hard and it was a deserved win for us I think."
The full interview with Thomas is now available on Arsenal Player.

It's interesting that believers in dualism rarely remember or even wonder where their soul/spirit was before their body existed (unless they also believe in reincarnation).
That's part of what helped lead me away from dualism... Tool helped a lot actually... somewhat sadly.
"We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion" - parabol
I was hoping for things to turn out different than they did. I was seeking to restore some mythical break between my body and my mind. Instead I breached the "gap" by recognizing there wasn't one to begin with, that the "mind" is a physical thing, and thoughts are the result of physical processes.
This body makes me feel eternal.
I like that quote!
This body is giving me the itches. I need a new one.
Usually that's a sign you need a bath.
There are lots of possibilities but I don't know that making things up to fill voids in knowledge is the best way to go. I've also had some interesting debates with people who use "Duotheism" as their base and it all comes back to the same problem... there is no evidence whatsoever one way or the other. It's one thing to admit that we can't possibly know or understand all of the possibilities at this point, but it's entirely another thing to fill in those blanks with more what-ifs.
Coming up with new names for "I don't know" is like throwing gas on a big fire of WTF...
So, my take is... to each their own. People should believe whatever gets them through the day.
There is, however, a lot of evidence against mind/brain dualism. In particular, the changes that can take place in personality if a particular part of the brain is damaged. Memories can be cut out of the brain, personality traits can be cut out of the brain, our ability to reason can be cut out out of the brain - all of which makes it hard to believe that destroying the brain entirely results in complete restoration of the person it once animated.
Well, there is a lot of evidence that debunks most aspects of religion but I was trying to at least play along. Mind/Brain dualism is a little over the top for me. Because the OP posed the question around a deity, I assume this is all about Duotheism.
The Universe is full of appositions.. as for a "god-like" force, it depends on what you define as "god like"..energy?, gravity?, dark matter?, feeling of belonging to all there is? what?
It's obviously hooey. The brain is made of neurons. Neurons are part of the physical world. Neurons work via chemical reactions.
A physical explanation suffices. The interactions between them are complex, but still are physical.
The qualifications will come in time Vikash, it's the thirst for knowledge that you possess, that can't be taught nor learned - at the risk of sounding like a Dos Equis commercial, stay thirsty, my friend.
pax vobiscum,
I believe all the evidence we have to date overwhelmingly supports the argument that when our brain stops working, we stop thinking - no real evidence for dualism - just another religious fantasy, in my opinion.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger will come face to face with an old acquaintance on Saturday – and it's a reunion he wasn't expecting.
The Arsenal manager has known Gerard Houllier since they started their coaching careers in the 1980s and the two Frenchmen will meet again when Aston Villa host Wenger's side this weekend.
Houllier took the reins at Villa Park in September following Martin O'Neill's departure. At his pre-match press conference, Wenger admitted that his compatriot's appointment took him by surprise.
"I know him quite well; we started together years ago," said Wenger.
"I wasn't surprised that Aston Villa took him but I was surprised [that Houllier went to Villa] because he was in a position as technical director of the French Football Federation.
"[I was surprised] that he chose to leave his job and come again into a hot seat after what he has gone through."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

|Drag Racing The place to discuss information about drag racing stats, tips and events. Track sanctioned events only.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|dude just post the time slip...and then be like IN YOUR FACE....well unless ur BSing...but im not gonna assume
|Cajun Boy876
|I posted the numbers....I dont think the car makes 315hp. It comes stock with 280 and I doubt a CAI raaises it by 35hp lol.
|There is a direct correlation between 1/4 mile mph, vehicle weight and horsepower. Plugging in the numbers, assuming a driver weight of around 180, you must be putting down 315 hp at the crank. There are all sorts of online calculators to do the number crunching but realistically only a timeslip will tell the true numbers.
|There are a couple reasons you might be faster than the mags tested. The first one is easy. The mags all test box stock cars and your is modded. They also test the cars on the street and the traction of a prepped track is nowhere near as slick as the street. I also know that in the case of Motortrend they will never rev the motor past redline in a test even if it would run faster. That is not going to be the case in the MS6 because they don't make that much power up in the high revs. Motortrend also will not powershift the test cars just speedshift. Anyway nice times! I wanted a MS6 but they cost too much, take supreme and don't get the mileage I wanted.
|Cajun Boy876
|I know but its so fun.....
Dashhawk is a great tool, and lots of fun, just take into account the polling data refresh, and the limitations of what it can tell you.
Launching AWD, it all depends on traction and torque curve. With little AWD buggers like the STI/EVO, you have to launch a shade higher so you don't bog off the line, a little wheel spin is fine. With heavier stuff like the Audis and MS6, you can tone it down a shade, as your torque hits lower. Either way, drag launching AWD = lots of strain on the drivetrain. The MS6 is built tons better than the GSX ever was, but beware too many drag launches, as something will inevitably break earlier than you'd like.
|Cajun Boy876
|It wasnt bad it was just an early shift. It wasnt to bad though. Just couldnt let me think i had a sub 5 0-60 run, *sniff*. I think the Speed 6 is the fastest car for the price. 23k=mid to high 13sec car.
Just google Dashhawk inaccuracy / etc, and you'll see what I'm talking about :
Stuff like that. A bad shift and still a 13.4 in that? Insane lol.
|Cajun Boy876
Arkaign I also had a bad shift into 3rd so that could have slowed me down to the 1/8. Guys I tried taking a picture of the slip and I was going to post it but you cant even read the damn numbers. And the MS6 is by far no mid 14's. Go read the boards they have guys doing mid to high 13's no problem in a stock MS6. I dont understand why tire spin would affect my 0-60. I sure as hell know I wasnt spinning at 60. Because the tires just chirped and I was off the line like a bat out of hell.
Stock 13.8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QGHqCMvo_0
Rear Engine Mount Otherwise stock 13.6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wgdBR5eL0
BOV, Race Pipe, CAI 13.3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8DCohC1s58
Still think im bullshitting. But then again not many people know they have AWD. But then again thats where they get all their weight from. The car doesnt feel heavy either, its not as agile as the focus though.
If you look at the last video you can see the difference a good driver makes. Thats what my launched look compared to the Stock Gt Mustang that was next to me.
I promise Im not bull shitting I have no reason to. Its not my car not like im making it faster than it is. I was just shocked at the time it posted by a relativly new driver. I will admit I probably cant recreate that launch I did it was just luck. Trust me I debadge the MazdaSpeed 6, so not many people know what you are driving across town. Lets just say its one of the funnest sleepers to be cruising around in. I love the looks of people in the passenger car when they hear the DV, I think its a DV. I tried getting my dad to put a BOV but he isnt to big into it.
Does anybody know how to properly launch AWD. I reved to 5k drop the clutch and as soon as I droped it I put the gas pedal to the ground. Then just shifted at 7k.
|Cajun Boy876
|There are plenty Stock i mean completly stock MS6 that can go faster then I posted. Just with a intake and exhaust the MS6 is over 300hp. I think it has about 15hp more than the MS6. The only reason the MS6 is quick is because of the awd drive system. Out outlaunched the shit out of the mustang like he wasnt even moving.

Dana & Peyton
July 14
Dobbin, Texas
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
When we first toured, they were still renovating the property. We loved the vision shared of what Olde Dobbin Station would eventually look like and felt that it was a perfect fit for the vintage/homemade wedding we wanted. I especially loved the brick columns, chandeliers, windows, and the door.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
This is hard to answer. I feel that everything was my favorite. I loved my dress and would wear it every day if that was an option. I loved the string quartet. It was fun picking out classical and contemporary songs for the playlist. I also loved our food, both the beautiful cakes and the breakfast dinner. We often made breakfast for dinner while dating, and felt it was a meaningful and fun dinner choice.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
I loved our First Look. Our photographer Kimberly did a wonderful job capturing our time together before the ceremony. It allowed us to connect, to pray together, and to calm our excited/anxious hearts before the wedding started.

Classic Authentic Green Trinitite Atomic Glass from the Trinity site, Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Ships in see-through perky container, with information and certificate of authenticity.
Trinitite, also known as Atomite or Alamogordo Glass, is the name given to the glassy residue left on the desert floor after the plutonium-based Trinity nuclear bomb test on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The glass is primarily composed of arkosic sand composed of quartz grains and feldspar (both microcline and smaller amount of plagioclase with small amount of calcite, hornblende and augite in a matrix of sandy clay) that was melted by the atomic blast. It is usually a light green color, although in some cases it is other colors. It is mildly radioactive, but is safe to handle for limited periods of time.
A number of different types of Trinitite have been identified. Green is the most common form. Black contains iron from the tower structure. Red contains copper from the 'gadget' itself or from the communications cables that led away from the site. Both black and red specimens are extremely rare. Rounded pearls are also found which come from melted silica that returned to solid form before hitting the ground.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, samples were gathered and sold to mineral collectors as a novelty. Traces of the material can be found at the Trinity Site today, though most of it was bulldozed and buried by the United States Atomic Energy Commission in 1952. It is now illegal to take the remaining material from the site. However, material that was taken prior to this prohibition is still in the hands of collectors.
Collected in 1948.

Given that most everything in Windows 8 store apps need to be async, we wrote some test helpers to do this. Looks like the team took this and made an extension to easily get it. The only thing that is missing is the UI portion of the helpers. If you really need that (and you probably will), you can get it from the Hilo project.

Matthews falsely claimed that Dems don't "care" about inflation; ignored appointments of "inflation tamers" Volcker, Greenspan
On the September 16 edition [1] of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews misleadingly suggested that concern over inflation is the sole province of Republican policymakers. He described it as the "number-one bugaboo" of Republicans and asserted, by contrast, "Democrats live with inflation. Jimmy Carter had it. He didn't care that much." But Matthews, who worked in the Carter White House [2] for four years, should know about Carter's efforts to curb inflation. He should know that, as part of those efforts, Carter appointed Paul Volcker as Federal Reserve chairman; ultimately, control of inflation was achieved with Volcker at the helm. And Matthews apparently overlooked President Clinton's reappointment in 1996 and 2000 of current Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan [3], who, like Volcker, is known for his focus on controlling inflation.
Carter announced the appointment of Volcker, a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on July 25, 1979. According to a Washington Post article the following day, Carter said that Volcker "shares my determination to vigorously pursue the battle against inflation at home and to ensure the strength and stability of the dollar abroad."
An August 1, 1979, Associated Press article reported that Volcker identified inflation as the nation's number-one problem during his hearing before the Senate Banking Committee, which approved his nomination unanimously. The business community responded to Volcker's nomination with "euphoric approval" regarding him "as the right man to lead, at last, an all-out effort to fight inflation," according to an August 21, 1979, AP article.
Soon after his appointment, Volcker tightened the money supply and raised interest rates, which halted job growth nationwide and created a recession. Volcker argued that this approach would lower prices and wage demands, thereby depriving the system of inflationary expectations. By 1983, the Federal Reserve System led by Volcker had "engineered a decline in the inflation rate to about 5%," as noted in a report [4] for the Carnegie-Rochester Conference on Public Policy. Some economists and political commentators have since credited Carter for the economic expansion that followed. In an August 31, 1997, article [5] for Slate.com, editor Jacob Weisberg argued that Carter "deserves considerable credit for choosing Paul Volcker in 1979. Since Volcker was committed to taming inflation even at the cost of putting the economy into a recession just before the 1980 election, Carter was committing honorable suicide by picking him." National Association of Realtors chief economist James F. Smith echoed this sentiment in a December 18, 1999, Philadelphia Inquirer article. "If you want to give any credit, give it to President Jimmy Carter, who took the first step in the right direction in the 1970s by appointing Paul Volcker as Fed chairman," Smith was quoted as saying. "Volcker started it, and Greenspan has carried on."
The Los Angeles Times included both Volcker and Greenspan, who was appointed by President Reagan in 1987, in its list of the "50 People Who Most Influenced Business This Century," billing them both as "inflation tamers" [Los Angeles Times, 10/25/99]. Following his election in 1992, Clinton and his economic team heeded Greenspan's advice and announced a five-year deficit reduction plan during Clinton's first State of the Union address -- a strategy devised to both address the deficits created under the Reagan administration and curb inflation going forward. Bob Woodward wrote in a November 12, 2000, Washington Post article titled "Behind the Boom" that the proposal went on to pass Congress and stimulate an unprecedented era of economic expansion coupled with minimal inflation:
In August, Clinton's deficit-reduction plan passed Congress by the narrowest possible margins, 218 to 216 in the House, and 51 to 50 in the Senate, with Vice President Gore breaking the tie. Not a single Republican had voted for the plan, which cut $ 500 billion from the deficit over the next four years by increasing taxes and cutting some federal spending. The only real Republican support had come from Alan Greenspan.
Clinton reappointed Greenspan in 1996 and 2000. In a 2000 paper titled "Anatomy of Clintonomics," Robert Pollin [6], co-director of the University of Massachussetts Amherst's Political Economy Research Institute, noted [7] that the rate of inflation under Clinton was "kept down to the lowest range levels of the Kennedy/Johnson years." The average rate of inflation during the Clinton presidency was 2.6 percent.*
From the September 16 edition [1] of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: OK. Let's talk something I grew up with, which is worries about inflation in this country. The number-one bugaboo for Republican officeholders since the time I was born and paid attention to politics was inflation. Democrats live with inflation. Jimmy Carter had it. He didn't care that much. Republicans hate inflation, because it takes money away from people who have it and gives it to people who don't. That's what inflation does. It basically reduces amount of the money you're holding, the credit you're holding, and it reduces your debt.
* This figure was calculated by averaging the Consumer Price Index [8] (All Urban Consumers) "average-to-average" annual percent changes between 1993 and 2000.

RV/-- Green Bay Concludes First Half of League Play at Valpo
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
VALPARAISO, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After two home wins last week, RV/-- Green Bay (17-3, 7-0 HL) hits the road for a Wednesday night meeting with Valparaiso (12-10, 5-3 HL) at 7 p.m. The contest at the Athletics and Recreation Center wraps up the first half of Horizon League play for both teams.
The Phoenix enters Valpo with a 12-game winning streak which has gained the program five votes in the Associated Press Top-25 Poll. Six spots outside the top-25, Green Bay ranks 31st nationally.
Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) continued his torrid play in 2013-14, averaging 24.5 points and eight rebounds per game last week in home wins over Oakland and Detroit. The reigning Horizon League Player of the Week leads the conference in scoring overall (20.8) and in league play (23.0).
In the Phoenix home wins last week, the team played stifling defense to rally from a pair of second-half deficits. Against Oakland, Green Bay held Travis Bader to just 2-of-13 shooting from the field and the Golden Grizzlies to 39.7 percent. In Sunday's win, Detroit's Juwan Howard, Jr. was only 1-of-10 as the Titans shot just 31.5 percent from the field. Green Bay's 28.3 percent shooting was its lowest in a victory in program history.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #12 Carrington Love, G, So., 6-1, 171
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: Wednesday night's game will be available live and in HD on the Horizon League Network. On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Andrew Gavin (analyst) will bring fans the radio call.
INSIDE THE SERIES: In 45 all-time meetings between Green Bay and Valparaiso, the Phoenix holds a 26-19 record. Green Bay has lost the past three games against the Crusaders at the Athletics and Recreation Center since a 63-61 win on Jan. 23, 2011.
WINNING WAYS: Green Bay is in the midst of its longest winning streak since the 1995-96 season. During the winning streak, the Phoenix has posted nine victories by 10 or more points and has a scoring margin of plus-17.2. Green Bay is shooting 49.9 percent from the field and holding its opponents to just 374 percent. Sykes and senior Alec Brown have combined to average 39.6 points per game during the streak.
WINNING WEEKLY: Sykes was named Horizon League Player of the Week on Monday for a conference record sixth time in 2013-14, breaking the mark previously shared with Cleveland State's Norris Cole (2010-11), Detroit's Rashad Philips (2000-01) and Butler's Darin Archbold (1991-92). With 10 weekly awards in his career, Sykes tied the conference record held by Philips (1998-2001).
A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) is in the midst of the most impressive season and most impressive stretch of his standout career. The 7-foot-1 center is posting career-high numbers in points, field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage and blocked shots. Against Detroit, he became the only player in program or Horizon League history to tally 1,500-plus points (1546), 750 rebounds (752) and 250 blocked shots (281).
SYKES SET APART: Ranking 17th nationally in points per game, Sykes is one of just two players (Providence's Bryce Cotton) nationally averaging 20-plus points and five-plus assists per game. Shooting 49.5 percent, Sykes ranks eighth in field goal percentage among players averaging 20-plus points per game.
PLAYING THE PERCENTAGES: Green Bay ranks among the Horizon League leaders in both field goal percentage and defensive field goal percentage. The Phoenix ranks 16th nationally in field goal percentage defense (.383) and 34th nationally in field goal percentage (.479). Green Bay has shot a higher percentage than its opponent in 16 of 20 games this season. The Phoenix has also shot 50 percent or higher nine times after doing so just eight times in all of 2012-13.
BLOCK PARTY: With 148 shots in 20 games this season, Green Bay has the second-most rejections in school history, behind only the school-record total of 162 last season. With an average 7.4 rejections per game, the Phoenix ranks second nationally in blocks per game behind only St. John's (8.4).
BROWN'S BLOCKS: Brown is having the best season of his career, which includes blocks. Averaging 3.3 per game, the 7-foot-1 senior is 12th nationally. With 66 blocks in 2013-14, Brown is on pace to break his own school record of 89, set in 2011-12. Brown now owns each of the top-four spots on the program's single-season blocks chart (59, 66, 67, 89).
RECORDS IN REACH: Brown will be chasing a couple of records as his senior season continues. With 281 career blocks, Brown needs 29 more to break the Horizon League record of 309 set last season by Youngstown State's Damian Eargle. The 7-foot-1 senior also needs just 15 more rebounds to break the Green Bay Division I record of 766 set by Terry Evans.
MOVING ON UP: Brown now ranks eighth in Green Bay history in scoring (1,546 points) after passing Tom Anderson (1,505) at UIC. With 27 points against Oakland, Sykes passed both Troy Cotton (1,251) and Ben Berlowski (1,255) into 14th place on the program's scoring ledger and now has 1,290 career points.

text: Well, Curry coached a good game. Thru 3 quarters. But then, as per usual, his game is way off to start the 4th quarter. He brings in Rip as his only substitution to start the 4th. No Afflalo, no JMAX. And of course, we lose our lead pretty fast. Curry did manage though to bring a couple of brain cells tonight and put in JMAX for a while to calm things down. Sheed hit a clutch 3, Afflalo ended up hitting some very clutch free throws, and there was that crazy great double clutch jumper from Stuckey that he banked in over Wade. Dyess had a good game, 17 bounds, made a few jumpers, and did some work inside. But when paired with Sheed, it does not look that good on our D. Dyess, as Curry threatened, is now playing starters minutes. I wonder if that is why we had our sellout streak snapped? Yeah, like people want to see two old men playing center and center out there for us, while we have no power forward in the game. JMAX played plenty, the whole 2nd quarter, and much of the 4th quarter. Mostly, he just played solid D. Afflalo played the whole 4th, and was seen often playing fine D on Wade. Plus he gave us some points after missing his first two shots. He drove Wade for an impressive score, and hit a three. Nine points in all for the night. Yes, Curry gets kudos for being smart enough to leave Afflalo in the whole 2nd quarter since he was doing so well on D, but why not start him in the 4th quarter? Its just wrong not too, AI's feelings aside. Its just wrong. AI gave us some scoring in the first. Not much else positive to say about him for this game. Stuckey had a fine scoring game. He hit shots inside and out. Compared to Wade, who got more points, but took 30 shots getting them, gee, Stuck shone well. Rip hit some shots. He does work inside some. Its not all just midrangers. One thing Rip did not do is bring the offense to start the 4th quarter. (Which is why he is coming off the bench - in part supposedly.)Me, I say bring the D off the bench to start the 4th. JMAX and Afflalo should start every 2nd and 4th quarter. Tay had a fine game. Including 3 triples made. I think that may the first time since the first few games of the season? Just maybe he is getting his legs back a bit. About time. That small ball about did him in. Tay did not play the 2nd quarter at all, so he had something left for those triples in the 2nd half. But no, he still should not play a whole half. (like he did in the 2nd half of this one. Miami has some pretty darn good scrambling D that forced a lot of turns this game. Good job by them. Some of it was just being sloppy on our part. Its tough to win when you give up what, a dozen or so more turns vs. the other team. The Pistons played stifling D in the first half. Marion's shooting kept Miami close though - that and all the turns we gave up. Sheed made a few threes plus several closer in shots. Good game for him for sure. Not much to guard in Magloire. Amir did little but contribute some good D. He only played 10 minutes. He came out with 2 fouls in the 1st quarter - and I believe with 4 fouls in the 3rd quarter - but Dyess was ready to come in already in the first quarter. Curry is just simply planning to play Dyess starters minutes, even though in theory Amir is the starter. We went up to a 13 point lead in the 3rd quarter. In contrast, the first quarter started out poorly, and Dyess was called to come in as we only had scored 2 points. Sheed hit a triple though before Amir went out. Amir ended up plus a couple of points in all for the game. When Dyess came in for Amir, we lost a double digit lead pretty much, but ended the quarter on an uptick, going into the 4th with an 8 point lead. Gee, free throws. Tay missed a tech, then Rip missed a couple. In crunch time. Somebody has got to get these guys practicing their free throws. Detroit, once the standard, is now I believe 27th in free throw shooting. And Ben don't work here no more. And Kwame is not playing. But yet we are still that bad? The whole league has found out a way to teach their guys how to make free throws. It does not seem to be a state secret. Sum of game. We stay in command thru 3. Curry forgets what got him the lead. The game is way too close down the stretch, but we make some clutch shots and win. Curry could have skipped all the dramatics, started the 4th quarter with Afflalo and JMAX out there.

Failure Is Always an Option – Thank Goodness!
posted at 9:35 pm on February 3, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
I was going to write about the curious fact that it's not only mathematically possible but now even somewhat plausible that Republicans could take over the Senate in November; but everybody and his monkey's paw is already going on about that. So I'm shifting gears: Instead, I'll argue against Michael Medved and every other conservative who repeats the stupid mantra that "Of course we hope President Obama is successful!"
That way, my only competition is Rush Limbaugh, whose explanation is kind of shallow, to tell the truth.
When some caller presses Medved on what the heck he means, he has a pat, memorized answer. Alas, it's a complete non-sequitur. Medved invariably explains that he doesn't mean he hopes Barack H. Obama succeeds in passing card check, implementing energy cripple and tax, closing Gitmo, ending the war against the Iran/al-Qaeda Axis, nationalizing more banks and other corporations, raising taxes, spending us into oblivion, and for dessert, foisting ObamaCare on the charred remains. Rather, Medved insists that by "I hope the president is successful," he means he hopes that Obama succeeds in leading America to prosperity, security, and liberty.
This explanation is nothing but Mueslix on stilts: nutty, flakey, and wobbly all at the same time.
Medved is engaging in what I call "Argument by Tendentious Redefinition." With that rhetorical trick, proponent takes an ordinary, simple English-language word (such as "success") and secretly redefines it to a meaning whose only purpose is to win the argument — while still relying upon people imagining that he still means the generally accepted definition. In this case, the word "success" (meaning, achieving a goal one has set) is transmogrified to mean, achieving the goal diametrically opposite what one has enunciated, but which happens to be more congenial to the "well-wisher."
When Michael Medved or any of a score of conservative pundits says he hopes Obama succeeds, it's really code for saying he hopes Obama converts to conservatism. While that may be a laudible wish, it's definitely not covered by the word "success."
By the definition commonly accepted throughout the English-speaking world, what Medved, et al, really should say is that they hope B.O. fails miserably in his attempt to implement Obamunism, to remake America in the image of Sweden, Venezuela, or Cuba. That at least would be clear; one can disagree with the sentiment (though it's self-evident to any thinking person), but one cannot be confused.
I certainly haven't investigated this, but it seems to me that most of the Republicans and self-labeled conservatives who say they hope the president is successful — meaning they hope he turns his coat — grew up as liberals and only came to conservatism later in life. Medved certainly fits this profile, as he was a left-liberal activist and protester back in the late 60s; he flip flopped (he would say "wised up") during the Ronald Reagan era, making him a "neoconservative" by the most classical definition.
By contrast, Rush Limbaugh has never been a liberal, so far as I know; and he brazenly hopes Obama fails. But why does one's political life-journey make such a difference in rhetoic? Let's look a little deeper…
The prime directive of the Left is that "Everything is political." For example, Karl Marx taught that the core of history is a class struggle between what Saul Alinsky would later dub the Haves and the Have Nots; and that this class struggle was ultimately political in nature. Contemporary liberals chant, "the personal is political," which is functionally equivalent to my phrasing above.
This axiom on the Left means that every question is answered by politics, that reality itself is naught but a convenient consensus of political accomodation. If the Indiana state legislature votes that π, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, is equal to 3.0, then that becomes the new consensus reality — regardless of the fact that it's wrong, in a literal sense. (The constant ratio π is actually an irrational number that begins 3.141592653589793… and goes on like that forever in more or less random fashion.)
To put it bluntly, liberalism teaches that Reality is infinitely malleable: If the political power changes hands, reality itself shifts correspondingly. "Truth" to a leftist or liberal means that which advances the Vision; while a "lie" is whatever contradicts or damages the Vision. (See Thomas Sowell's the Vision of the Anointed.)
It's an easy step from there to the Argument by Tendentious Redefinition: If reality can be changed by political action, then words themselves (which are part of reality) can be changed by strident repetition… and this in turn alters the concept at which the word points.
Here's a really good real-world example. A liberal wants to continually grow the scope and reach of government; but that can be expensive, as we see with the Obamacle's budget proposal.
So the people, the voters, demand that the liberal-run government cut spending. "All right," say the liberals, "we bow to the will of the people." And they do proceed to cut… they cut the rate of growth of spending. They had planned to raise spending by 10%, but they raise it by only 8% instead — and announce a 2% "spending cut."
The tendentious redefinition here is that spending cut, which used to mean a reduction in actual spending, now means a reduction in the increase of spending, or a reduction in projected spending. To the extent liberals can keep the redefinition secret, they can pose as deficit hawks and get themselves reelected.
Liberals and leftists are steeped in such tendentious redefinitions by their peer groups; they may already have used that rule of inference long ago, even as children, which might be what drove them to liberalism in the first place; but in any event, such thinking is reinforced and rewarded within lefty circles.
But even when they depart the Left for warmer climes, they often take such thought processes with them as excess baggage. This led me to my own definition of a neoconservative: a person who thinks like a liberal but usually arrives at conservative conclusions. People like Medved, David Horowitz, and Sen. Norm Coleman (to pull a few at random), who used to be on the left, still use the same thought mechanisms that they used back then… but now in service to a different master. And their reflexes are still knee-jerk leftist; they often must argue themselves out of a reflexive reliance on liberal tropes and back towards a more conservative position. (A lot of libertarians came to that philosophy from the left, and they too carry a lot of lefty thought-baggage.)
One particular piece of lefty thought-luggage retained by Medved and his Obama well-wishing pals is an overwhelming feeling of guilt at hoping someone, especially a black someone, fails. Even when they honestly do hope the man does not achieve his goals, they're afraid to say such a thing out loud. So they frequently fall back on yet another lefty valise or steamer trunk, and tendentiously redefine the word "success" as noted above.
But I have never in my entire life been a liberal; I was never trained to think of a black man or some other minority as a representative of some group, or that his failure was due to the white man "holding him down for 300 years," as many blacktivists insist. Consequently, I feel no guilt whatsoever wishing abject failure upon Barack H. Obama: Success as Obama defines it is anathema to me, so why on Earth would I wish for it?
In fact, one of our most important rights is the right to fail: By failing, we learn, we grow, we mature… or at least we can. And I would never be so cruel as to take away anybody's right to fail by, e.g., supporting a government Bureau of Bad Breaks, which tries to make good (at taxpayer expense) any setback or adverse result of poor judgment — like not buying health insurance and then getting sick or injured. That's a liberal idea, and I despise it as unAmerican and infantalizing.
I will defend with my life Barack Obama's fundamental right to fail. But I just wish he would get busy and exercise it… soon!

The Duchess of Cambridge made her first appearance for several weeks today, showing a much more pronounced baby bump, at the annual Buckingham Palace garden party. Kate was wearing a lemon brocade cocoon coat by one of her favourite designers, Emilia Wickstead. She teamed it with a hat by Jane Corbett, which featured a large structured bow. She completed the look with her signature pearl earrings and - guess what - those nude LK Bennett pumps. The Duchess was not accompanied by Prince William, but she made up for this by spending a considerable amount of time in the company of her parents-in-law, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.

If you want to eat something edible...try slicing goose breasts into 1/4" thick slices.
Grill them 2 minutes on each side and eat. Will taste like steak and will be the best goose you ever ate.
If you insist on eating lumber...be my guest.
aunt betty wrote:Try it. You will be shocked. I was. I took a couple buddies duck hunting and we shot two geese. There were some younger hunters hanging around wanting to drink by our fire so we let them in.
They suggested cooking the geese the way I described. Considering how little work it takes...is really good. Soaking the pieces in teriaki sauce is even better.
Duck is really good grilled in this way too.
I tried roasting geese and it's greasy. (yeah, throw away the bird, board, and all)
Tried smoking them too and it's pretty good if you let the meat cool and then slice it like beef for sandwiches but if you try eating it hot...sucks.
Tried eating geese lots of ways and to slice 'em thin and grill is the way I prefer.
If you want to eat wood. Treated or untreated?
A successful specklebelly hunt provides the makings for one of the most delectable wild game meals you've ever eaten. The meat is considered by many to be superior in taste to Canadas or snow geese.

What's in US fiscal cliff and who'd pay how much
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 7:26 p.m.
American consumers and businesses will pay much higher taxes next year if a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" takes effect as scheduled Jan. 1.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the measures would push the economy into recession and drive the unemployment rate to 9.1 percent next year. The rate is now 7.9 percent.
Below are the main elements. The estimated dollar figures are for calendar year 2013:
Amount, in billions
Higher taxes on income below $250,000, higher estate taxes, alternative minimum tax. $279
Higher taxes on income above $250,000. 52
Expiration of Social Security tax cut. 115
Expiration of temporary tax breaks for businesses and individuals. 110
Expiration of extended unemployment benefits. 30
Defense spending cuts. 32
Across-the-board cuts to education, health, law enforcement, other programs. 53
Total 671
Source: CBO, Tax Policy Center
The tax increases wouldn't affect everyone equally, though all taxpayers would pay more. Here are the average increases for people at different income levels:
Income level Tax increase
Lowest 20% ($20,113 or less) $412
Low-middle 20% ($20,114 - $39,790) 1,231
Middle 20% ($39,791 - $64,484) 1,984
Upper-middle 20% ($64,485 - $108,266) 3,540
Highest 20% ($108,267 and above) 14,173
Top 1% ($506,210 and above) 120,537

text: How many of these shots did he make in the championship game? Well because Tim Jr wanted show the scouts he was ready for primetime, He was 5-13) Stauskus only got off 2 shots and hit one of them. Wish he had been aggressive like he was in the Florida game. But he will be back and Hardaway won't be there to take those shots.
