Yes, I'm spending most of this weekend watching a 13-and-under baseball tournament, but I've got a cell phone and a computer in case anything happens with the Raiders . . . which it hasn't.
The business has evolved into one that is as preoccupied with projecting a sequence of events as repeating them.
With that in mind, here's what's going on with the Raiders until further notice:
— Jason Campbell is a huge upgrade from JaMarcus Russell, but things will get very interesting when Bruce Gradkowski takes the field in Napa. He built a lot of support after taking over for Russell, but it won't take more than a few Campbell successes for teammates to surmise that anyone was going to be an improvement.
— The most important metatarsal in the NFL belongs to Chaz Schilens.
Sorry, but coach Tom Cable's enthusiasm of the corps of wide receivers comes off as whistling in the graveyard without Schilens.
For a fourth-round draft pick, Louis Murphy was a revelation. But other than Schilens and Murphy, it's a crapshoot. DHB and JLH? Unproven in capital letters. Jacoby Ford is at least a year away from racing under rainbows consistently. Todd Watkins, Jonathan Holland, Shaun Bodiford . . . . need I go on?
Cable can say all he wants they haven't considered Terrell Owens, but if there is any real concern about Schilens or the longer term, some kind of incentive-laden one-year deal with Owens is worth considering.
— Hue Jackson is the man.
Argue amongst themselves how it transpired, but common sense says Al Davis told Cable the only way he was staying on is if he turned over the offense to someone else, and Jackson is that person.
Lot of buzz amongst the players regarding Jackson. He's bringing back a good practice mentality in which he wants the offense to get after the defense, and will let the defense know about it when they've been had.
— The Raiders (and this is purely a Davis thing) don't exclude the media for the sake of secrecy. They do it because they can.
As Monte Poole points out, it doesn't make a lot of sense with regard to Jackson.
— Speaking to Poole's point about fans seeing enough good things this offseason to return to the fold, a retired Oakland police officer I see occasionally told me he sent in his season ticket money the moment he heard about the release of Russell. I'm sure he's not alone.
— Any talk of going to a predominantly 3-4 defense remains just that _ talk _ until further notice.
It's possible the Raiders are going heavy on 3-4 on the days the media can't watch organized team activities, and equally as possible they're doing the same old stuff.
— Heavyweights ought to look elsewhere.
Other than undrafted free agent Kellen Heard, a 354-pound nose tackle, the Raiders have been (other than JaMarcus Russell) watching the scales closely the past few years. Terdell Sands was eventually sent packing because of it.
— Gradkowski has no intention of settling for being a backup quarterback.
Which is precisely what makes him an ideal backup quarterback.
— As time goes on, the most relevant and interesting drills, seven-on-seven's and team sessions will be when Darren McFadden is sent into a pass pattern on the outside guarded by either Kamerion Wimbley or Trevor Scott, and how the Raiders' defense responds. The far-too-early-returns show McFadden having his way.
— Teams will continue to inquire about running back Michael Bush, but there is no chance he'll be traded because he's still working for the salary of a fourth-round draft choice and Davis would insist on first-round compensation.
— Given the limitations of the offseason, the Raiders can speculate they've fundamentally improved (specifically with the pick of Rolando McClain) but have no hard evidence they can dominate the two areas which marked the great teams of the franchise's distant pass _ blocking and tackling.

Despite a valiant effort, the Gauchos were felled by the top-ranked team in the nation in UCLA on Friday night by a score of 3-1 (25-17, 25-18, 22-25, 25-20). With the loss, UCSB fell to 3-7 overall, and 1-5 in conference matches. With the win, the Bruins extended their current winning streak to 10 matches. Their overall record improved to 12-1, while their unbeaten 7-0 conference record places them at the top of the MPSF standings.
A season-high 615 fans came out to watch the Gauchos on Friday night, their highest home attendance mark since facing UCLA on Jan. 7, 2011. Before the match, UCLA Head Coach Al Scates was honored. Scates, who will retire at the end of this season, is currently in his 50th season at the helm of UCLA Volleyball, having won an unprecedented 19 NCAA championships during his tenure.
The Gauchos were led by none other than junior outside hitter Miles Evans, whose 19 kills were just one off from his career high of 20. Freshman outside hitter Kevin Donohue also turned in a strong effort, finishing second on the team in kills (nine) and digs (eight). Sophomore libero Chad Kingi led the Gauchos with nine digs, and was only bested by Evan Mottram- an ex-Gaucho and current UCLA libero, who collected 15.
For the match, UCSB picked up just seven service errors and finished with a .914 serving percentage, both season-bests.
The first game, despite an eight point difference between the teams in the end, was likely the most contentious game of the match, featuring 11 ties and six lead changes throughout. With the teams virtually deadlocked through the first half of the game, a pair of back-to-back kills and a block, all from from UCLA's Thomas Amberg, gave the Bruins a lead that they would not relinquish.The Gauchos did not record a block as a team and allowed UCLA a .536 hitting percentage for the game.
UCSB did not fare as well in the second game, as the Gauchos were squarely behind the eight-ball from the outset. A kill from Jeremy Casebeer preceded a seven point serving streak from Kyle Caldwell, included a pair of aces, that ultimately put UCLA up 8-3.
Not to be discouraged, the Gauchos came storming back in the third game. Miles Evans had seven of his 19 kills in the frame, while Chad Kingi had five of his nine digs. An emphatic kill from Kevin Donohue sealed the deal for the Gauchos in the third- a set in which they never trailed.
The fourth game turned out to be a bit of a letdown, as UCSB hit just .077 as a team. Despite their difficulty attacking, UCLA had problems of their own, registering eight of their 23 service aces in the game, allowing the Gauchos to stay close. However, not all Bruin servers were having difficulty- much like in the first and second sets, an extended stretch of Kyle Caldwell serves spelled doom for UCSB, as he ralled them from a 11-11 tie to a 16-11 edge. Fittingly, Caldwell served and assisted on the match-clinching point for UCLA.
Despite the loss, UCSB Head Coach Rick McLaughlin saw encouraging signs from his team, saying "we're still a very young squad, but we're working very hard and you can see, in glimpses, what we're capable of doing. If we keep pushing at it, I can see this team making a playoff push."
Next week, the Gauchos will play a pair of important conference matches. On Wednesday, Feb. 15, they will host the Cal State Northridge Matadors at Rob Gym. They then travel to Long Beach to take on the 49er's on Friday, Feb. 17.

The mascara I took away with me on Holiday was Dior's Diorshow Black Out Waterproof Mascara. How did I pick which one to take? I did hip-dip-do…
With a lash perm in tow, I can basically wear any mascara without suffering from the dreaded drooping (how I envy ladies with the natural curl!).
They Say:
DiorShow Black Out Mascara gives your lashes a little more oomph and a lot more drama. Intensified by ultra-black, kohl pigments, the formula glides on smoothly and draws each lash out to show-stopping lengths. Wear it alone, or layer it over DiorShow to glamour-eyes in an instant!
I've never tried a Diorshow mascara before this – I guess I knew it would be too heavy for my puny lashes, but I can see why people speak highly of this mascara.
It's black – super dark black, and a lovely texture – easy to pull through the lashes and the result is instant…none of this messing about with layers, one layer and BOOM, noticeable difference!
The brush is quite big – this concerned me as smaller brushes work well for my short lashes…
But it wasn't too bad! The only thing with huge brushes it that I am more likely to smear the product on my eyelid – I had a big of this but because my lashes are so curled at the moment, I seem to be doing it with most mascara's I'm trying out.
Anyway, on holiday I had no time to mess about with 50 layers of mascara so I would whip this on quickly and I'd be out the door.
Here is the result with one coat – I LOVE. It was so rich in colour and easy to apply…no clumping either:
I guess what I liked the most about this mascara is that it doesn't take much to get a great result from it – it's easy like that.
Now that I've got a lash perm I can basically judge mascara's slightly differently (Whereas before, holding curl was of paramount importance to me). So I see that the Diorshow Blackout is an EXCELLENT mascara, really impressive to use and worth the premium price.
Now – whilst this mascara is waterproof, it stayed good under all normal conditions however, it did not stand up to hardcore pool play (that sounds wrong).
I wore this to the pool (research reasons) and it smudged under my eye. I have a photo of this somewhere – I look like a panda.
I said to Mr C, Why didn't you tell me I had all that make up under me eyes? .
He said, I thought it was supposed to be like that…it was so…straight.
So basically….
– Rich Colour
– Creamy texture
– Instant volume and length
– Water resistant but will run if you wear it for a dip in the pool!
Verdict: Love this mascara, having tested about 20 in the last month it stands out from the crowd.
Mascara reviews all week! Stay tuned!

No Yard? No Problem: The Best Balcony, Rooftop and Patio Gardens
If you love to garden but don't have the tiniest fraction of an acre to your name, all hope is not lost. These fifteen urban oases prove that a gorgeous garden can thrive in the smallest — and unlikeliest — of spaces...
1. Ferns and herbs abound on the back porch of Elizabeth's Color-Filled Apartment in Chicago.
2. Lilacs, basil, mums, and 42 other types of plants thrive on Alejandro's Rooftop Oasis.
3. Enrique's Posh Patio is home to numerous thriving plants — and may be more posh than any indoor space I'll ever live in.
4. Chris & Diana's Red Hook Rooftop keeps the couple and their friends well-fed with fresh vegetables.
5. Leah & Matt's Enviable Rooftop Oasis looks larger than any apartment I've ever rented, and they've certainly made excellent use of it. The space is home to herbs, vegetables, trumpet vines, jasmine, boxwood, and many more plants, yet feels wonderfully modern and minimal.
6. The plant-filled porch off of Caroline & Sebastian's Bohemian Fairytale might be one of the most welcoming spots in all of San Francisco.
7. Janelle & Robert's East/West Coast Mix is in Los Angeles, but the lush front porch surrounded by magnolia trees is a sun-dappled oasis.
8. Matt and Alex's Outdoor Living Room features the best of both worlds: fresh air and sunshine, with a partial roof to protect their plants and belongings from the harsher elements.
9. I have a soft spot for Daniel's Denver Balcony because it's exactly the sort of garden I had on my San Francisco balcony (fire escape): potted plants around the edge and bright flowers adorning the wrought iron railings.
10. Katie's Austin Garden Balcony in Austin is small but packed with flowers and charm.
11. Nicole's Vancouver Balcony is manageable and petite, yet provides a most welcome hit of green.
12. Sudha's Repurposed Garden Balcony utilizes upcycled milk jugs and yogurt tubs as the foundation for a kitchen garden.
13. Jenny's Creole Balcony in Austin was an ambitious, $1,200 undertaking that resulted in a lovely space full of New Orleans charm.
14. Glen74's Reimagined Balcony is a DIY project that sounds heavenly in its simplicity: recycled teak, wild grasses, and a hammock.
15. Micol's Roman Balcony makes me realize how badly I need a Roman balcony!

Twins' Cole DeVries pitches 6 scoreless, wins third straight start
MINNEAPOLIS -- Cole DeVries can see the opportunity ahead of him with several spots in the Minnesota Twins' rotation likely open for 2013.
He's trying not to look too far ahead, though, knowing his audition is ongoing.
DeVries pitched six scoreless innings to win his third straight start and Minnesota beat the Cleveland Indians 3-0 on Saturday night.
DeVries (5-5) gave up four hits and walked one. A trio of relievers combined for three hitless innings, with Glen Perkins working the ninth for his 11th save in 14 chances.
"I think it's a little premature to be saying that I deserve one of those spots, but I know that's the case at hand," DeVries said. "Each time I go out, it's no different. I try to pitch as well as I can every time, but I'm also trying to pitch to secure one of those spots for next year."
Joe Mauer had an RBI single and Josh Willingham added a sacrifice fly in a two-run third inning for the Twins, who had lost four of their past five games.
Ben Revere had two hits and two stolen bases for Minnesota, which is trying to avoid ending consecutive seasons in the AL Central basement and now trails Cleveland -- which led the division at one point in June -- by just two games.
Indians starter Zach McAllister (5-7) made it through only three innings in losing his third straight decision. He allowed two runs on two hits and three walks.
"They fouled a lot of pitches off him," Cleveland manager Manny Acta said. "It's September, it's a kid that we care about and value a lot, I couldn't let him go any further after 87 pitches in three innings of work."
DeVries is pitching his way into consideration for one of the rotation spots heading into next spring. The rookie right-hander has allowed just four earned runs over his last four starts, spanning 23 1/3 innings.
"It seems like when he gets himself into a little bit of a hole, he'll just come back and pound the strike zone and go right at them and make them swing it rather than walking them, and that's a good thing," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's been going along pretty good, using all of his pitches, his breaking ball, the whole package."
Minnesota's rotation has been completely turned over from the beginning of the season with the patchwork beginning almost as soon as the team broke from spring training. DeVries has been one of the few surprise additions. He wasn't even on the team's 40-man roster at the beginning of the season, but he made his major league debut May 24.
After three inconsistent outings DeVries was sent back to Triple-A Rochester, but he has been a rotation mainstay since July 8 and could be starting to find his way.
He allowed a hit and a walk to the first two batters and pitched around some trouble in the first two innings before retiring 12 of the last 13 batters he faced. He left the game after six innings with some soreness stemming from a comebacker off the bat of Asdrubal Cabrera that hit him in the ribs. DeVries made the catch to end the third.
"I think I've felt really comfortable up here for a little while, but things are starting to meld together," DeVries said. "Things are kind of starting to go my way a little bit at times. I'm feeling pretty good."
McAllister and the Indians have been going the other way. The Indians led the division for much of the first two months of the season and were still in the top spot as late as June 23, but they are 15-39 since the All-Star break.
The Indians have scored the second-fewest runs in the AL and have put up one run or less eight times in the past 19 games. On Saturday, they managed one baserunner over the final seven innings. Shin-Soo Choo, who had two hits, led off the sixth with a single and was erased on a double play.
"We struggled with their kid once he started throwing breaking balls for strikes," Acta said. "We hit a lot of fly balls on the wrong day with the wind blowing in. We couldn't string any offense together. I think our best chance was in the very first inning when we had first and second, no outs and we didn't do anything."
Over his first 15 starts, McAllister had a 3.50 ERA and had given Cleveland a chance despite the poor offense. But he's now allowed 14 earned runs in his last 12 1/3 innings.
Game notes
The Twins retired the No. 10 before the game in honor of former manager Tom Kelly. Kelly led the team to World Series titles in 1987 and 1991, and is the club's all-time leader in managerial wins with 1,140. Kelly was credited with creating the "Twins Way", an emphasis on fundamentals the team has been known for since he took over as manager in 1987. "TK was all about respecting the game of baseball," said Gardenhire, who succeeded Kelly in 2002. "He preached that constantly, on how we take the field, playing hard." ... Willingham drew two walks to give him 69 for the season, a career high and seventh in the AL. Willingham has established career highs in walks, home runs (33), RBIs (102) and runs scored (81). ... RHP Esmerling Vasquez (0-1, 7.94) will make his second start for Minnesota in the third game of the four-game series on Sunday. Vasquez allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings in a 6-4 loss at Kansas City last weekend, his first appearance for the Twins since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester. RHP Corey Kluber (1-3, 4.79) is scheduled to pitch for the Indians, coming off his first career win on Monday against the Detroit Tigers when he pitched six innings and gave up two runs.

AIKEN, S.C. – Saturday's opening round NCAA Division II National Tournament matchup between Georgia Southwestern and Montevallo proved to be an instant classic, as there were swings in momentum that led both sides to think victory was imminent, but after two overtimes it was the 18th-ranked Falcons who advanced, 97-88, to the Round of 32.
The Peach Belt Conference foes split their two meetings earlier this season with each side winning on their respective home court. So Saturday's matchup in the Southeast Regional at the USC Aiken Convocation Center was expected to be a close game.
It didn't look like it was heading in that direction early on.
In the first half, Montevallo relied heavily on their starting five. Troran Brown, Ryan May, Shykeem Jackson, Larry Slaughter, and Orlando Brazier scored all 40 of the Falcons' first-half points. Montevallo led 40-33 at the break.
UM opened up the second frame on a 7-0 run, bumping their lead to 14 points with 17:24 remaining in regulation.
GSW was quick to respond. Kevin Burnell hit a pair from long range during an 11-3 run that took less than three minutes and pulled the Hurricanes within six, 50-44.
The Hurricanes continued to chip away at the deficit and when Johathan Brooks knocked down a shot from beyond the arc at the 11:12 mark, GSW had pulled within a point, 54-53, less than six minutes after trailing by 14.
From that point on, the gap between the two teams never reached more than six, with Southwestern constantly nipping at Montevallo's heels.
An Alan Arnett layup with just under three minutes left in regulation evened up the game. It was the first time in the second half that the Hurricanes were able to force a tie.
Montevallo retook the lead and was up by five with 1:39 to play. GSW answered with five unanswered points and then was able to respond to a Brazier put-back layup with a Darius Redding jumper with four seconds left sending the game to overtime.
Brazier opened overtime with a dunk, but the momentum would be short-lived for the Falcons, as the Hurricanes responded with 12-4 run to go ahead ahead by six with 1:19 left in the extra period. When Arnett fouled out with only 1:08 remaining it looked like his departure would not hurt the Hurricanes, but five unanswered points by Brown drew the Falcons to within one. A Redding dunk with 19 seconds left put GSW back on top by three.
With the season on the line, May broke free for a wide-open 3-pointer with four seconds left, forcing double overtime.
In the second overtime, UM held the Hurricanes scoreless and earned the 97-88 win. The last time GSW played a two-overtime game was Dec. 14, 2011, at Clayton State.
Daryl Davis had a monstrous game in his final NCAA contest. The GSW senior posted his fourth double-double of the season by scoring 24 points and pulling down a career-high 13 rebounds, which included seven boards on the offensive end. He added two blocks and hit two clutch 3-point baskets in the first half to keep GSW in the game.
Brooks generated his second-best scoring night of the season, finishing with 23 points. The senior was 4 of 7 from beyond the arc in the second half and he pulled down nine rebounds. Redding, playing in his first game since Feb. 1, added 15 points and five assists coming off the bench. Arnett chipped in 12 points and two steals in his collegiate finale.
For the first time this season (14-1), the Hurricanes lost a game where they out-rebounded their opponent. GSW made 11 shots from 3-point range, their most in a game this season, but was held to 15 free throw attempts, not quite equaling half the number of attempts taken by UM (31).
Brown led all scorers with 27 points. In two previous meetings this season, Brown had scored a combined 22 points against the Hurricanes. May finished with 23 points on 66.7 percent shooting from the field, 50 percent shooting from three-point range, and 100 percent shooting at the line.

Time Bandits (UK - BD RB)
Chris takes a look at the Blu-ray release of the 1981 Terry Gilliam fantasy feature
Time Bandits tells the story of a group of little people who steal a map of all of the known holes in the fabric of the universe from their former employer, the Supreme Being. This allows them to travel to any point in time, an advantage they plan to use to get rich by stealing from some of history's wealthiest individuals. Along the way they accidentally wind up in the bedroom of eleven-year-old Kevin, an intelligent, thoughtful boy who is largely ignored by his materialistic game-show-loving parents. Kevin joins the gang on their adventures in time, during which they meet historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, and journey all the way to the 'Time of Legends' where they search for the mythical 'Most Fabulous Object in the World'. However, this turns out to be a trap set by Evil, who wishes to use the map to overthrow the Supreme Being.
I can vividly remember renting Time Bandits from the video store many, many times as a kid, but prior to receiving this Blu-ray I hadn't seen the film in years. It's every bit as strange as I remember, but still has a certain charm to it in spite of the incredibly out-there plot and cast of little people. The performances from David Rappaport, Kenny Baker and the rest of the gang are extremely endearing, and the central performance from young Craig Warnock is good. The mix of Python actors and big-name stars works well, and although Sean Connery is by far the most famous person in the film I enjoyed seeing people like Jim Broadbent and Ian Holm in earlier roles (I had no idea who they were as a kid). However, the performance I remember most fondly was that of David Warner, and he still pretty much steals the show. With that said, I didn't enjoy the film as much as I did when I was a child, but perhaps it's because I lack the imagination of youth (this is something Gilliam touches upon in the interview featured elsewhere on the disc).
Optimum provides a 1.78:1 widescreen transfer (1080/24p AVC) that is a definite step up from the DVD release, but not the comprehensively remastered effort fans have no doubt been longing for. The first thing that struck me was the abundance of film artefacts, more than on any other Blu-ray in my collection (by quite some margin). I hesitate to use the word atrocious, but the print damage was so bad that it actually had a detrimental effect on my enjoyment. The image is surprisingly detailed, and the layer of heavy grain is actually quite refreshing considering the amount of catalogue titles that get filtered to within an inch of their lives. Colour rendition is perhaps the disc's strongest point, with some fairly vibrant hues on display, and skin tones are largely natural (although they do push towards the red on occasion). Unfortunately blacks are only really average, but this can most likely be attributed to the source. I don't like to be too critical when a distributor takes the time to release a fan-pleasing film on Blu-ray, but in this case the print used just wasn't up to the job. Even so, this is most likely the best looking version of Time Bandits you're likely to see for some time.
There are two audio tracks on the disc: Dolby Digital 5.1 and PCM 2.0 stereo. I decided to opt for the uncompressed original stereo track for nostalgic reasons. Oddly enough the sound field is still quite expansive even with only two channels, and there were several moments where I was genuinely surprised (usually when the Supreme Being appeared). Even so, there's no mistaking this for anything other than a low budget eighties film. Dialogue is generally clear enough, but it can sound a little hollow at times. The same can be said for a lot of the effects and music and there were a few instances where everything went very tinny. To my surprise there was actually a fair amount of bass in certain scenes, but nothing that would challenge even the most pedestrian of contemporary tracks. Flipping briefly over to the Dolby Digital 5.1 track revealed few differences other than the use of the surround channels, but it sounded 'thinner' than the PCM track. As an experiment I also tried decoding the 2.0 track to Dolby Pro Logic II and the results were quite good.
Interview with Terry Gilliam (18:12 SD): The interview is more like a Q&A, but it does cram a lot of information into its short running time. Gilliam answers questions on the origins of the film, casting (with particular attention paid to Sean Connery), critical reception, influences, and more.
Scrapbook (02:55 SD: This is a short series of behind-the-scenes stills accompanied by continuously looping music from the feature.
Trailer (03:10 SD): The film's theatrical trailer is one of the strangest I've ever seen. In it, Michael Palin has an 'argument' with the eighties voice-over guy. It's all very 'Pythonesque'.
Well, what can I say? Almost thirty years after its original release Time Bandits is still entertaining, but it hasn't aged as well as some of my childhood favourites. As for the disc, well it's only really an average effort. This isn't even because of the video and audio shortcomings, which were to be expected, but because of the lack of bonus material. Where is the commentary? Or the archival featurettes? There's certainly enough space left on the BD to include them. As previously stated I appreciate it when distributors take the time to release catalogue titles, but when you're paying a premium for purchasing your films on a new format the content should at least equal that of the DVDs they are replacing. Even so, if you don't own a copy of the film and are looking for the best A/V experience this is the one to get, but those of you who own one of the DVDs will have to weigh the cost of the disc against the slight audio-visual enhancement.

I don't think that there is a minimum requirement for connection speed. I think that it's a matter of how much time someone wants to spend going through our "vast" archives.

(MARTINSVILLE) - A hazardous waste site that threatens the drinking water supply in the south-central Indiana city of Martinsville has been added to the federal government's highest priority cleanup list.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday it's added to its National Priorities List a Martinsville Superfund site tainted with a chemical commonly used in dry cleaning called tetrachloroethylene.
That chemical is present in Martinsville's drinking water at levels above the EPA's safe drinking water standards.
The federal agency says that chemical has contaminated a city-operated drinking water well that serves about 5,000 Martinsville residents.
The EPA says levels of the chemical have continued to increase in that well and in several monitoring wells and the "risk to the community remains high."
The chemical appears to have come from numerous sources.

I Remind Me of Reagan
In the past few weeks, the Democratic Party has suddenly turned on Bill Clinton with the ferocity of 16 years of pent-up resentments. He will not be cut any more slack, and neither will his wife. Meanwhile, the Republican primaries have turned into a Ronald Reagan Adoration Contest. Neither ex-president deserves what he is getting. Clinton is a victim of long memories, Reagan is a beneficiary of short ones.
In the Republican debate at the Reagan Library on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain repeated his story about how he and other prisoners of war used to discuss this exciting new governor of California using tap codes through the walls of a North Vietnamese prison. Like many of the great man's own treasured anecdotes, it might be true. Unlike Reagan, McCain is a genuine war hero, so if he has overpolished this story a bit (it comes out almost word-for-word each time), he is honoring the great man by imitation if nothing else. In the debate, McCain repeatedly called himself a "foot soldier in the Reagan revolution." He declared that Republicans have "betrayed Ronald Reagan's principles about tax cuts and restraint of spending."
Mitt Romney, meanwhile, kept repeating, inanely, "We're in the house that Reagan built." Reagan "would say lower taxes" and "Reagan would say lower spending." Reagan "would say no way" to amnesty for illegal immigrants. Reagan would never "walk out of Iraq." And, by the way, McCain's accusation that Romney harbors a secret timetable for withdrawal from Iraq is "the kind of dirty tricks that I think Ronald Reagan would have found to be reprehensible."
A problem: Reagan actually signed the law that authorized the last amnesty, back in 1986. Romney deals with this small difficulty by declaring: "Reagan saw it. It didn't work." He offers no evidence that Reagan had a change of heart about amnesty, and learning from experience was not something Reagan was known for. The proper cliché is McCain's: "Ronald Reagan came with an unshakeable set of principles." And -- pointedly -- "Ronald Reagan would not approve of someone who changes their positions depending on what the year is."
All of this is what Democrats these days refer to as "a fairy tale."
There is no evidence that Reagan was bothered by the rough and tumble of political campaigns. Mischaracterization of an opponent didn't even qualify as a "dirty trick" to Reagan, due to his fantastic ability to believe anything helpful. Compare Romney's whining about how McCain didn't give him enough time to respond to the Iraq timetable accusation with Reagan's masterful "There you go again" against Jimmy Carter in 1980.
Would Reagan "walk out of" Iraq? Far from clear. He scurried out of Lebanon fast enough after things got hot there in 1984. During the Reagan years the United States was actually pro-Iraq in its war against Iran, although we also sold weapons to Iran in order to raise money for a terrorist war we were secretly financing in Nicaragua, while denouncing terrorism. It's hard to find any "unshakeable set of principles" in this mess.
McCain declared in Wednesday's debate that he would appoint Supreme Court justices like John Roberts and Samuel Alito -- that is, reliable conservatives. Romney characteristically upped the ante: "I would apppove ... justices like Roberts and Alito, Scalia and Thomas."
Roberts and Alito were appointed by George W. Bush and Clarence Thomas was appointed by his father. Reagan did appoint Antonin Scalia, but he also appointed Sandra Day O'Connor, an unbending pragmatist who postponed the conservative revolution in constitutional law for a generation.
But the biggest fairy tale about Reagan is the most central one: about taxes and spending. It is one thing to sit in a North Vietnamese prison in the early 1970s, dreaming of a California governor who one day will balance the federal budget. It is another to imagine that it actually happened. When Reagan took office in 1981, federal receipts (taxes) were $517 billion and outlays (spending) were $591 billion for a deficit of $73 billion. When he left office in 1989, taxes were $999 billion and spending was $1.14 trillion, for a deficit of $153 billion. As a share of the economy (the fairest measure), Reagan did cut taxes, from 19.6 percent to 18.4 percent, and he cut spending from 22.2 to 21.2 percent, increasing the deficit from 2.6 percent to 2.8 percent. The deficit went as high as an incredible five percent of GDP during Reagan's term. As a result, the national debt soared by almost two thirds.
You can fiddle with these numbers -- assuming that it takes another year or two for a president's policies to take effect, or taking defense costs out of your calculation, and the basic result is the same or worse. Whatever, these numbers hardly constitute a "revolution."
John McCain's stagy self-flagellation, on behalf of all Republicans, for betraying the Reagan Revolution when they controlled Congress and the White House at the beginning of this decade, is entirely misplaced. In fact, President Bush and the Republican Congress did precisely what Reagan did: they cut taxes, mainly on the well-to-do, but they barely touched spending.
If the Republicans are looking around for an icon to worship, they might consider Bill Clinton. He cut spending from 21.4 percent of GDP to 18.5 percent. That's three times as much as Reagan. True, he raised taxes from 17.6 percent to 19.8 percent, but that's still a smaller chunk than the government was claiming when Reagan left office. And, of course, he left us with an annual surplus that threatened to eliminate the national debt.
What's more, I think he's available.

Child Caregivers Lack Toxic Household Products Knowledge
According to a new study, knowledge of potentially toxic household substances among primary caregivers for young children is alarmingly poor. The results show that less than one-third of primary caregivers for children under the age of six could correctly estimate the toxicity of household poisons. The study is being presented at the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine's 2008 Annual Meeting.
Led by Rika N. O'Malley, M.D of the Albert Einstein Medical Center, the study involved screening primary caregivers of young children who visited emergency departments, and asked participants to identify toxic items from a list of common household products.
"Young children are at risk of household chemical ingestion and their caretakers often do not have good understanding how toxic those chemicals are," says O'Malley. "Parental education needs to be focused more on younger caretakers with more children."
However, the study did identify a number of factors that increased the likelihood of knowledge of household poisons. These include: more education, responsibility for fewer children and an age greater than twenty-three years.
The research provides practical information about poison prevention. The authors believe that education from primary care physicians can target at-risk populations for poison prevention and education.
The presentation is entitled "Caregivers of Young Children Do Not Have Basic Knowledge or Familiarity with Potentially Toxic Household Products." This paper will be presented at the 2008 SAEM Annual Meeting, May 29-June 1, 2008, Washington, D.C. on Friday, May 30, 2008, in the poster presentations that will be held from 3:30 - 5:30 in Exhibit Hall A of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. Abstracts of the papers presented are published in Vol. 15, No. 5, Supplement 1, May 2008 of the official journal of the SAEM, Academic Emergency Medicine.

wats up im new to the board but I have some information that I think that everyone would like to know. I currently work at the St. Regis in Dana Point, CA. And I saw TK and Rachel!!!! They checked in on December 7th and i believe they checked out on December 16th. Well anyways, the reason I believe they won was because they stayed in the presidential suite ($1600+ a night) and ran a total bill close to $15,000. As far as I am concerned this is not the lifestyle of a substitute teacher and a flower shop owner. anyways they seemed really really nice as I got to speak a few words to T.K.; and rachel is so pretty in real life. I had to tell them I was a fan of TAR and they just smiled and T.K. said cool. hahah but i am used to seeing famous people, i saw jennifer aninston and reese witherspon just to name a couple! feel free to ask me questions
Were they able to find the room?
They get paid after the finale aired, so my guess is that it's anticipatory spending. Mind you, second place still gets 25 grand, not to mention they may have changed jobs since the race started (perhaps TK got a promotion or something).
Is that before or after taxes?
Your favorite team may not be a winner, but the team which runs the race well usually wins. The New England Patriots play well, but they still may lose the Super Bowl.

The women's network of the European Left was already established at the EL Founding Congress in Rome in May 2004. In doing so, the EL wanted to state from the beginning that women have actively contributed to building up the new party and networks of the EL. In particular, EL fem wants to share experiences, qualify discussions, strengthen the connections with other women's organisations and develop activities on a European level in a self-organised and self-responsible way. The working group is open to all women's and feminist structures and militant supporters.

Run into autumn: an activewear guide for the cooler months
New season, new me- this phrase is heard around the world with the incoming of Spring and Summer, but what about the cooler seasons? For myself and many of my peers, not letting the wheels fall off your fitness regime is one of the hardest things of the change of seasons (that, and not letting the homeless man from Home Alone become your Winter style icon).
No matter what style you like to rock while running, whether it be bold and motivating active-wear or dark and blended in, we have transformed these into layered winter looks so you can still stay true to your look and, more importantly, your fitness goals this autumn.
Love to layer
A tricky aspect to dressing for exercise in Autumn is starting out chilly and once you get going you begin to heat up. A great way to combat this is investing in a multi-layered jacket to see you through depending on the time of day or level of strenuousness, you can start with one of two layers and go from there.

Bright and bold
Bright colours are not just motivating but help to give the feeling of warmth from the outside in. On a gloomy day when it's hard to make a move, be the colour and inspiration you seek!

Black out
If you're looking to blend in while out on the trail, layer up your blacks with a range of climate-control fabrics that help to combat the change of temperature from sunrise to sunset.

No need to sacrifice style when on the run from the gym to home. Working with this season's tones of neutrals and khaki, putting together a post-gym look is made easy with these basic staples.
