|Railway Line Cycleway New Campaign Group
|Written by Al Findlay
|Wednesday, 11 July 2012 14:13
If you have been an avid Ottery Gazette reader for a long time, you will have read various reports about a proposal to create a cycleway on the old Feniton - Ottery - Tipton - Sidmouth railway line which closed in 1967. Very many people have told me they support the project, which has the official support of Ottery St Mary Town Council. The cycleway project now has a campaign group behind it – King's School students!
Cllr Claire Wright (Ottery St Mary Town Council`s Young Persons Champion) and I went into Kings on 14 June to talk to a group of year nine students talking about local government, about engaging with politics, and how young people can influence decision-makers, and how young people can make a difference. Together with form teacher Jo Elliott we talked about how local young people had helped deliver the skate park.
The students were then asked what they would like to see in Ottery. Not surprisingly there were many varied suggestions. One idea that attracted much enthusiastic support was better cycling facilities – this included cycling proficiency training, creating a cycling club, and having a Kings 'Cycling Ambassador'.
The idea that attracted most excitement was the creation of a cycleway on the old railway line. The students recognised the many benefits that such a cycleway would produce - an attractive off-road route through very attractive countryside for local people to enjoy; a route that would bring many people to East Devon to cycle and to spend money in local shops, pubs and hotels. The Camel Trail in Cornwall and the Tarka Trail in North Devon have produced a substantial boost for their local economies. It would provide a safe off-road route on which children can learn to cycle, allowing more journeys to be made by bike or on foot and increasing health and well-being. It would also meet sustainable transport objectives by helping reduce accidents, reduce pollution and reduce congestion, and of course it would enable more people to cycle safely to school.
As we know, Kings has many very bright students. But they don`t just talk about things - they do things! Before we knew it, the class had agreed to campaign for the cycle route. The students were realistic - they recognised that the cycleway would require substantial funding, and take a great deal of hard work.
Look out for details of a public meeting, probably in the Autumn, to move this vitally important project forward.

Republicans continually make stupid mistakes that cost them dearly, but just when you think they can't be saved, along comes a Democrat to make the Republicans look really good. Today it was John Conyers:
The House Judiciary Committee has officially announced its plans for a hearing into President Bush's commutation of Scooter Libby's prison term.I don't think the President made a mistake in the case of Libby's clemency. I think he made a pretty smart, and fair, decision. Heck, even most of the jury members said they thought Libby should be pardoned.
The hearing will take place next Wednesday morning; titled "The Use and Misuse of Presidential Clemency Power for Executive Branch Officials."
"In light of yesterday's announcement by the President that he was commuting the prison sentence for Scooter Libby, it is imperative that Congress look into presidential authority to grant clemency, and how such power may be abused," John Conyers said. "Taken to its extreme, the use of such authority could completely circumvent the law enforcement process and prevent credible efforts to investigate wrongdoing in the executive branch."
Even though this is not one of those dumb Republican moves I was referring to, we all know there have been far too many of them lately and anytime a Democrat starts making statements like John Conyers did yesterday it makes Republicans look good in comparison. Talk about overreaching. Conyers never disappoints when it comes to shamelessness. Kim did an excellent job pointing out the hypocrisy of those criticizing Bush now for granting Libby clemency, but who did not seem concerned about Bill Clinton's controversial pardons as he left the White House. For those with faulty memories, here is the complete list of Bill Clinton's pardons, via Allen Estrin at Townhall.

Foreign stars not attracted to Manchester United so David Moyes will have to break bank, says Mark Bosnich
Mark Bosnich believes Manchester United's transfer woes are compounded by the fact that their foreign targets do not consider Old Trafford an attractive destination.
The clamour for United to splash the cash in January grows after David Moyes' debut United season plumbed new lows with an FA Cup exit at home to Swansea yesterday.
Despite Moyes' insistence that January business is unlikely, United continue to be linked with a number of big-name players on the continent, including Atletico Madrid's Koke and Borussia Dortmund pair Marco Reus and Ilkay Gundogan.
But former United goalkeeper Bosnich thinks United are not as alluring for such players as their big European rivals and will, therefore, have to break the bank to compete in the transfer market.
MORE: Another Moyes setback as Bayern tell United Mandzukic not for sale
The Australian, 41, told talkSPORT: 'I know Manchester United have got a history of saying, "we're only going to pay so much because you're coming to play for Manchester United", but many of the top players in the world haven't got the same love for Manchester United as some players in Britain have.
'For them, it's about choosing which is the best club to play for.
'Are they playing in the Champions League? What are they offering me in comparison to PSG, Juventus, Real Madrid or Barcelona? They are going to have to pay over the odds. If you want the best you have to go and pay for it.'
And Bosnich delivered a pessimistic prediction of how the remainder of United's season will pan out.
He added: 'This season is heading towards disaster. They might not finish in the top four. They really need to say, "This season is salvageable, we might not win the title but we could finish in the top four but we need to identify big players, players of Manchester United's calibre and spend some money".'

The Haunted Mask illustration will appear here.
After Carly went out and scared everybody, she noticed that her voice changed. However, Carly didn?t do anything about it. Carly went home and she might have gotten the mask off or maybe she didn?t get it off. Well you?ll have to read to find out what happens.
One big idea in this story is that the mask is very powerful and controls you and changes you. I think this book is a decent book because it puts you on the edge of your seat. My favorite part was when Carly Beth showed the boys a sculptured head of her and then it started talking.
There was a character that changed and that was Carly Beth because she used to be a pleasant girl then she turned into a mean person.
I would recommend this book because it?s an apt book for people who like mysteries. There?s a series of Goosebumps books by the same author if you like scary books. The character in this story is Carly Beth. This book takes place outside of Carly Beth?s house and on the streets. Read the Haunted Mask and you will enjoy it and you will want to read it over and over again.

Philippines born, Bernardo Chua, was a major player in two companies, Gano Excel and Organo Gold. One company focused on ganoderma alone and the other, coffee, tea and ganoderma. As you will see, his past will meet his future.
At Gano Excel, Chua was an executive with the Phillippines-based company, offering his multi-level marketing expertise. After being with the company for three years, he helped the company to expand from the Philippines, to other areas of the world, such as Hong Kong, Canada and the US. Today, the company is considered a top provider of ganoderma lucidum.
Everyone knows what coffee and tea is, but what is ganoderma. It is a polypore mushroom that is found on logs in wooded areas around the world.
According to Glass Door, how did Bernardo Chua learn about this mushroom? Because of his Chinese heritage, he was introduced to the mushroom early in life and knew of the benefits it could offer. His additional knowledge came from his experience from Gano Excel.
In 2008, Bernardo Chua became the founder and CEO of a company called, Organo Gold. His singular focus was to bring a different tasting brew, with its possible health benefits to the Western world.
As to the taste, the Organo Gold coffee is a black, robust, less acidic, tasting coffee that is infused with ganoderma lucidum or as the mushroom is sometimes called, Reishi. The Organo green tea they offer is a mild tasting brew with the infusion of the Reishi mushroom.
Why Canada as there home base? Chua purposely settled his company in Canada because of its strict guidelines for products and business. He felt, that with Canada's strict guidelines his company had to follow, it would give customers added reassurance as too the quality of the product.
In 2016 Chua rebranded the company, calling it Organo. The company currently sells, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and personal care items.

We hosted extended family during Hurricane Irene, because our household wasn't evacuated. During the stormy day, we could be found in my "power-less" kitchen putting together this no-bake project Grandma brought. Grown-ups cut fruit to resemble flowers, and little cousins had a blast sticking the fruit pieces on bamboo skewers! Within a short time, the kids were having a blast pulling fruit off the skewers to eat. Fruit never looked so appetizing!
Fruit (& veggies, if desired) including whole pineapple
Bamboo skewers
Some of our supplies
Cookie cutters, knives
1. Cut top off pineapple and place flat side down in bottom of vase.
2. Cut fruit and vegetables into creative shapes using knives and/or cookie cutters, and impale on bamboo skewers.
3. Stick skewers in pineapple base!
This would be a great centerpiece for a party or shower!
We used a measuring cup instead of a vase so you can see the pineapple top.

Neville: Handling of Moyes affair repulsive
Gary Neville has branded Manchester United's handling of David Moyes' managerial situation as "repulsive" after the club failed to address rumours about his sacking before they confirmed his departure on Tuesday morning.
Club sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday that Moyes was on the verge of losing his job as United manager, after just 348 days in charge of the club that handed him a six-year contract last summer, but did not make any statement until a message via Twitter at 8.30AM on Tuesday.
"I have to say I find it repulsive the way these rumours break," Neville, who won 17 major trophies in his decorated career at Old Trafford, told Sky Sports. "I don't like it, I'll never get used to it, even though this is the world we live in. It needs to be clarified pretty quickly by the club and they need to break rank and do what they don't usually do, which is make a statement pretty quickly.
The results that did for Moyes
- Patience has finally run out at Old Trafford with David Moyes' sacking as Manchester United manager now imminent - these are the blows which may have sealed his early fate.
- Click here to read more
"The weight and explosion of the information coming out concerns me. That club, for 20-odd years, contained and managed information. It was completely off the scale like nothing else that's happened at the club in 20 years."
Neville described some of United's displays under Moyes this season as "shocking and unacceptable," but the club's former right-back has stated his belief that the beleaguered Scot should be allowed to continue in the job.
"Personally, I would always think managers should be given a period of time, a couple of years, to be able to bed their own team in," added Neville.
"Having supported the club for 15 to 20 years, played for the club for 18 years, the managers have always been given time. Dave Sexton, Ron Atkinson, Alex Ferguson himself got time in his early years when it was difficult for him.
"People will say it is different times, but I genuinely believe that when you give a man a six-year contract that he deserves the opportunity and the time.
"We used to laugh at Italy 20 years ago [sacking managers regularly]. Now we have become accustomed to it. You hear people in the game come out and say a manager should be sacked, but you will never hear that from me because it is a difficult job and something I've never done.
"Football management is a world of madness, an absolute world of madness. The average manager gets sacked every 12 months and I've always felt that Manchester United should be different, hold itself up as a club that is standing against what happens in the game."
When news of Moyes' sacking was announced on Tuesday morning, Neville reiterated his views on Sky Sports News before insisting the United players' must take their share of the blame.
"The players have to take massive responsibility," said Neville. "They're the ones who go out on that football pitch. I never once in my 17 or 18-year career came off the pitch and thought, 'You lost us that game.'"
However Neville also feels Moyes' ultimately sealed his own fate by losing the dressing room.
"The fact is you don't sack 24 players. And those players are not as bad as they're showing. I've played with them, the ones I know are desperate to do well for the club. They're just lost confidence and belief," added Neville.
Meanwhile, United have been accused of a "lack of class and dignity" over the way they handled Moyes' sacking by their own fans.
News of the manager's imminent departure was leaked on Monday afternoon, though Moyes was only formally told of his fate at a meeting with United's chief executive Ed Woodward shortly after 8am on Tuesday at the club's Carrington training ground.
"It's a PR shambles," said Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) vice-chairman, Sean Bones. "Manchester United's history shows they deal with things with class and dignity but that has not been the case here.
"The story leaked before David Moyes has been spoken to, and that's not the Manchester United way. There was no dignity or class in the way they went about it.
"I'm not saying he should have stayed in the job. The appointment of David Moyes was seen by a lot of supporters as a risk. Moyes wasn't proven at the very highest level, and Manchester United should be attracting the best and most proven managers in the world.
"But that decision was ultimately down to the Glazer family. They may have spoken to Sir Alex and other people within the club but if it was the wrong decision it was the Glazer family's decision."

To cut layered hair with bangs, start with clean, dry hair that is free of all tangles. Flip the head upside down and gather all of the hair into a ponytail at the crown. Flip the head back up and brush through the ends.Continue Reading
To create subtle layers, move the elastic up the ponytail leaving only an inch of hair in the elastic at the ends. For more dramatic layers, leave a few inches of hair in the elastic. Once the elastic is even, take sharp scissors made specifically for cutting hair and cut evenly along the elastic. Avoid cutting the hair at an angle to prevent uneven layers uneven. Shake out and brush the hair, then check that all the layers fall evenly. Trim any individual sections that stick out.
For the bangs, gather a small section of hair at the hairline no wider than the edges of the eyebrows and hold it front of the bridge of the nose. Trim the excess hair at a vertical slant, no shorter than the eyebrows. Divide the bangs into two sections from the natural part, then pinch the index and middle finger down the length of the hair. Trim the ends slightly at a vertical angle and repeat on the other side, switching the side of the angle. Style the bangs and the front sections of hair and trim any sections that need to be blended at an angle.Learn more about Hairstyles

Caci facial at the Four Seasons Hotel
As soon as I hit 30 I started to see creases on my face. They'd probably been there all my life, but as soon as I started to tick the '30 and over' box, every little line took on new significance. I've become increasingly concerned about the state of my skin, taking much longer to apply various creams and serums before bed, as well as booking in regularly for a cleansing facial to keep those deep lines at bay for as long as possible. As you age, your muscles lose their tone - the Caci facial treatment is designed to keep the muscles toned, the skin radiant and help reduce the signs of ageing. The treatment stimulates the circulation of energy to the facial tissue, which in turn increases the rate at which the skin produces collagen and elastin. It's designed to give gentle exercise to the facial muscles, tightening and firming them to help reduce slackness and restore natural contour. The Caci facial can also improve the reduction of eye bags, soften scar tissue and reduce the size of enlarged pores - luckily all things I don't currently suffer from, but at least I know it can help prevent them as and when I need! Conducted over a an hour in an extremely swish treatment room, the facial is administered using two metal rods that massage and stimulate the facial muscles. The process is completely painless as the electrical pulses work deeper in the skin than can necessarily be felt, although every so often a slight tingling sensation around the jawline took me by surprise. Extremely relaxing, the Caci treatment almost had me asleep within the first 15 minutes, but after the full hour my face felt fresh, plumped and clear. I could feel an instant lift in my skin and facial muscles, which lasted for around 2 days and helped my skin to glow. It's recommended that for long-term results a Caci facial is booked for every 6-8 weeks, so that the facial muscles can be continually stimulated and lifted to leave the complexion luminous - although there's still benefit to having treatments less frequently. I personally enjoyed how non-invasive the procedure was, particularly as it didn't leave my skin feel like it was covered in goo and exfoliated so much I could feel the skin from by 14th birthday. It provided me with the perfect balance of relaxation, facial stimulus and visual results - made even better by the luxurious surroundings in which is was administered. The Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane is the ultimate in luxury, providing a pampering room to use before and after your treatment which contains everything you need to leave looking perfect again: hair dryers, hair straighteners, beauty products and even your own locker with robe and flip flops. While waiting (or after the treatment,) there's a heat therapy pool, steam room and sauna to utilise, as well as a relaxing waiting room with tea and nuts on tap. Up on the 10th floor and looking out on London's skyline could've been good enough, but all the little extras made this an experience I want to replicate again and again. No doubt I'll be booking another Caci facial ASAP just so I can gain the use of that delightful steam room again...
The Caci treatments at The Four Seasons Hotel, Park Lane, start from £45 a session.

MESA, ARIZ. — No more good guy. Ryne Sandberg didn`t put it in such blunt terms, but he said if he hasn`t signed a new multiyear contract by 12:01 a.m. Monday, it`s goodbye Chicago Cubs.
Or to put it another way: If not signed, he won`t allow the Cubs to use him in a trade, not now or at any time during the season ahead. Instead, he will play out the season with them and then file for free agency.

Tiny Log Cabin Kit from $4,336 View Photo Gallery
Tiny homes and cottages are gaining in popularity. Some people want to down-size and de-clutter, while others are simply seeking a simple retreat. Whatever the reasons for the tiny home movement, its happening. While some companies are adjusting to this new housing market, new companies are developing and acquiring the knowledge and expertise to offer the products and services people are seeking. The Little Cabin Company has done just that, with their Tiny Log Cabin Kit from $4,336.
The Little Cabin Company is comprised of Karl Lewis and Sarah Lewis, a husband and wife team from the Forest of Dean in England. The Lewiss dont actually manufacture the tiny log cabins themselves, but rather purchase them from Logcabins.lv in Lithuania, which the Lewiss state, are one of the finest manufacturers in the world with over 30 years of industry experience. All of the wood used by Logcabins.lv comes from sustainable forests in Russia and Northern Europe. Siberian Pine, the main staple of the tiny log cabins, grows slowly because of the cold and the result is a close grain, a dense hardwood that is harder wearing, with the ability to resist weather (down to at least -60 °C). The Lewiss then distribute the tiny log cabins throughout the U.K. from their warehouse in Essex.
Log cabins are typically dwellings constructed from logs and are generally less finished or less architecturally sophisticated in structure (think simple). Log cabins appear to have a long history in Europe and America (where they are most often associated with first-generation home builds by settlers). Although the exact origin of log cabin construction is uncertain, it certainly appears to have its roots in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, with the first log structures most likely built in Northern Europe during the Bronze Age (circa 3500 BCE). Medieval log cabins were considered movable property and were often relocated (the buildings were disassembled, transported and reassembled on the new site). In the United States, settlers were first constructing log cabins by 1638. Historians believe the first log cabins in the U.S. were built by the Swedes in what is present-day New York. While log cabins were built from horizontal logs interlocked with notches on the ends, modern building methods allow the shortcut of nailing the logs together without jeopardizing the integrity of the structure.
So what comes as standard in the Tiny Log Cabin Kit from $4,336? Interior and exterior walls, tongue and groove floorboards and roof boards, windows and doors (pre-hung in their frames) and pressure treated floor bearers. These cabins come with optional insulation as well as roofing material and, of course, you need to pay for delivery to your site. These Tiny Log Cabins are tiny, at just over 160 square feet (although you can purchase larger cabins for a slightly higher price), but boast a decent-sized verandah with a canopy for added space. The windows and doors are all double-glazed and include high-quality locks and fixtures as well. The log cabins are built by class leading, computer-controlled engineering methods with FSC approved wood for long-lasting cabins. What this all amounts to is a high-quality product without the extreme price, which is good for the consumer.
So, if you live in England and are thinking of building or buying a tiny log cabin, check out the Little Cabin Company, who provide little cabins at little prices. You cant go wrong!

Leggy Ladies! Just like Megan, Rosie loves putting her glam gams on full display, just like she did at the Transformers afterparty in the UK on Jun. 27, where she turned up in a white Burberry Prorsum frock. Megan showed off her legs back in June 2009 in a striking purple Donna Karan.
Taking the Plunge! Rosie isn't shy — and neither is Megan! The former Transformers star promoted her flick back in 2009 clad in a plunging frock, while Rosie opted for a similar top in NYC on Jun. 15.
Red Slit Showdown! Megan Fox really put her sex appeal on full display in a show-stopping Roberto Cavalli gown with a thigh-high slit back in 2009 at a Transformers premiere. Rosie also wore a red gown with a slit while at the NYC premiere Jun. 28.
Racy in Red! Megan Fox was the first star to pull out a plunging, long-sleeved mini when she turned up in Giorgio Armani Prive in June 2010 — but Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a super similar Stella McCartney frock just this month at the Berlin press conference.
Asymmetrical Drape Dress Duo! Megan Fox looked gorgeous in a Grecian Kaufman Franco gown at the LA premiere of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen back in Jun. 2009. Rosie opted for a similar Michael Kors silhouette on Jun. 23 while promoting her Transformers flick.
From plunging necklines, thigh-high slits & bare backs, both Rosie and Megan are looking so sexy on the red carpet — but a lot of Rosie's get-ups from the past month are super similar to Megan's from 2009! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has had a stellar style run so far while promoting Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon — but we can't get over the similarities between Rosie and Megan Fox's sense of style! Check out their looks here. Dare to Bare! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked stunning in a custom-made midnight Burberry gown at the Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Madrid premiere on Jun. 27, but she wasn't the first Trasnformers star to show some skin! Megan Fox first pulled out a backless Kaufman Franco gown in June 2009 while promoting Transformers at the UK premiere.

Hello and welcome to my blog, Stylish England!
My name is James and I'm 15 years of age. I'm currently in my last year of high school and whilst juggling exams, revision and coursework, I'm also on here blogging about fashion, lifestyle, and anything else I think is blog-worthy! I'm an avid fan of YouTuber's/Blogger's including Tanya Burr, Jim Chapman, Zoella, Sprinkle Of Glitter and Tyler Oakley, and after months of wishing I could do something similar, I finally got the push from one of my friends to create Stylish England *cheesy grin*.
Procrastination is practically a hobby and I have a habit of setting the scene way too much before finally getting to the point. I enjoy sunsets, long walks (which means long walks when the sun is setting= divine) and all things American. Going to university is a dream of mine and I'd also love to travel when I'm older. I live in te' north of England and like many an English blogger, cups of tea are a daily necessity ;)
I really hope you enjoy what I write and please do leave comments on posts as it's the best feeling in the world to know that you've enjoyed my blog/posts! Also I'd love it if you'd follow me on my social media accounts. I hope you'll stick around and have a nosey!

- slide 1 of 8
Dell Keyboard Replacement
As your Dell Latitude laptop ages and is subjected to much use you can expect that some moving part will need replacing – one such component is the keyboard. In some cases it could be the only component that needs replacing. Replacing a keyboard is an excellent DIY job especially if it's just missing keyboard keys or a malfunctioning keyboard that is causing you grief.
If you know what to do, changing a laptop's keyboard can be a simple job, on the other hand you can end up dissembling the entire computer if you don't know what screws to pull and what parts to remove. Hopefully you will find these steps for changing a keyboard on a Dell Latitude laptop easy to follow.
- slide 2 of 8
Before You Get Started
There some precautions that should to be taken before you start working on the machine. You should ensure the computer is completely shut down (not in a power save mode) and be careful to unplug all attached cords, including the power cord and all the cables for attached any peripherals and remove the battery. Not only do these precautions prevent the risk of an electrical shock but it also eliminates the risk of damaging the connection ports and the system board when you are moving the computer around to get at the screws and components.
There is also a risk that static electricity can cause damage to certain components inside the computer. To prevent this from happening you will need to discharge any static buildup before you start working on the machine -- you can do so by periodically touching an exposed (unpainted) metal component on the machine while you are working on, or wear an antistatic wristband.
While the steps for removing and replacing a keyboard on a Dell laptop is generally the same for many models, there are often some unique steps that must be undertake to repair certain models. However the following steps will apply to a number of Dell Latitude Laptops including the: Dell Latitude D620, D630, D820, and D830 machines.
Interestingly the steps roughly apply to other series models as well, such as a Dell e6500 keyboard replacement. The only difference it that these keyboards don't have the ribbon keyboard connector.
If you decide to proceed, ensure that you don't pull anything that you don't need to remove; be gentle when removing components as it is common to forget to remove screws and cables before removing some parts – not yanking out components will allow you to feel that something is still attached so you can make the necessary adjustments before proceeding.

Removing the Keyboard
- There are two screws at the top of the keyboard; you will need to remove these.
- Gently lift and rotate the keyboard clockwise so you can see the keyboard cable that needs to be detached.
- Identify the pull-tab where the keyboard connects to the board and gently rock and pull it until it comes loose. DO NOT yank the cable itself! It you do, you run the risk of dislodging the pins, which can be time-consuming to repair.

Installing the Replacement Keyboard
You simply need to reverse the process to install the new keyboard.
- Connect the keyboard cable to the motherboard and press it down firmly with just enough force to secure the connector, you should have need to apply a lot of force.
- Slide the keyboard into the base of the laptop; you may need to slightly push in the base to get it seated properly.
- Ensure that the screw holes line-up properly. Replace and tighten the two screws that you removed.
- Insert the left side of the center control cover and snap in the other side to complete process.

Don't Void the Warranty
While it is easy enough to replace a keyboard, you must remember that doing so can void the warranty. Dells service manual warns that "only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty." However, this shouldn't be a concern if the computer is not under warranty.

iPads will be used to facilitate learning by allowing students to:
- access, use, create and publish digital and online information
- develop knowledge, understanding and skills through creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving
- collaborate with others
- communicate, in a variety of ways, their knowledge and learning experiences.
- Students will use the iPad as a tool to manage their work and learning.
- Students will develop age-appropriate ICT skills and understandings, including the responsibilities of online citizenship.
Students will accept responsibility for:
- their personal actions when using ICT
- the care and functionality of their iPad.
"The new generation of personalised computing makes our dream of personalised learning feasible. This allows us to focus on the outcomes for students rather than being driven by the input of the curriculum. We are preparing our students for the future, not the past. I'm excited by the possibilities on the horizon."

(CNN) -- After more than two decades of marriage, Rhonda Hayes, at 55 with two grown children, didn't expect to be single again.
But in 2008 her husband passed away from lymphoma. Nine months later, her daughter suggested Hayes try online dating.
Older and wiser then when she married, Hayes decided to give the dating game another try.
"I honestly believe that you have to be open to it," she says. "You have to be truly open to finding love again."
Many people put their hearts on the line again and again. Whether you've just been through a divorce or are leaving a long-term relationship, you might find yourself in a bit of a dating rut after being coupled for so long.
Hayes turned to internet dating. That's where she became interested in Larry Curtis, a widowed 52-year-old working in real estate.
They connected over their passion for refurnishing houses and love for their families. Their relationship started with long phone conversations, a Facebook friendship, and then dates. The couple was married in May.
In light of the upcoming Valentine's Day, CNN spoke to Gian Gonzaga, a psychologist who has studied the factors that lead to marital success, about the challenges of dating after a previous relationship.
Gonzaga is the senior director of research and development at eHarmony.com, one of many dating websites that have sprouted online over the last decade. His book, "Dating the Second Time Around: Finding Love That Lasts," is packed with practical advice for people eager to give dating another shot.
The following is an edited version of our interview:
CNN: How do you define second-time love in your book?
Gonzaga: Most of the people we talked to are divorced, but we think it's any significant relationship. If you have dated someone for four to five years and you have been serious and committed to them, you are still going to learn some of those lessons and suffer some of those costs. Some of them are widowed and some of them are just coming out of relationships.
CNN: What are some of the obstacles to dating after a long-term relationship or divorce?
Gonzaga: One of the biggest things is simply access. Where can you find single people who are also looking for relationships?
You're far away from school and most of your immediate social circle is married and with kids. But the internet has come around and given a whole new level of access to people wanting relationships.
CNN: What about the emotions that may still be lingering from a previous relationship?
Gonzaga: That's the other really big challenge. Coming back the second time around means that you've been through a relationship before. There's a kind of irony that comes out. Think about it from the perspective of a job. The more you work at a job, the more experience you get, but with relationships, it doesn't work that way. The more people work at it, they should be better. But they feel like they aren't good at it because a relationship of theirs hasn't worked out.
CNN: How can that affect the new relationship?
Gonzaga: They carry these expectations for what a relationship is going to be from the last one into the next one. For example, if someone feels like they tried really hard and the relationship didn't work out, and they are anxious, they may wonder if they are worthy of another relationship.
They will act in a way that will almost make that expectation come true. If I'm anxious, I may get jealous if they don't call. I may question whether or not tokens of affection are true. I may not believe them as much, and those things can add up and undermine a relationship. The sense of not being confident or feeling worthy in a relationship can come back and haunt you.
CNN: Can there be lessons learned from the previous relationships?
Gonzaga: The flip side is people have a lot more experience. They know what works in the relationship, what didn't work in a relationship. They know the things they absolutely have to have in a partner.
CNN: Do you have any advice on how to approach a new relationship?
Gonzaga: The first part is assessing yourself. Step back and take a look at the relationships you've been in. What are the things you really find important in a partner or prospective partner? If there are 10 things you need, cut it in half and cut two more.
The next thing is to think about what are the things in your relationship that you did really well or maybe didn't do so well.
How can one apply lessons from the old relationships to the new one? For example, let's say one of the big troubles you got into in the first relationship was the two of you had very differing views on how to spend money. You know that in the end you were a total saver and your spouse is a total spender. This leads to a lot of conflict about money.
You may want to bring this up when you get to know someone and ask is this person a spender as you get to know them. Do they tend to be able to save well, because that is important to me?
CNN: It seems like many people looking for love after a long relationship are turning to the web. How can you get over the stigma of the internet?
Gonzaga: There are a lot of people who have met their spouses and partners online and you will find them all around you.
The technology itself can be helpful in the dating process. If people are nervous meeting someone, new technology lets you get to know them better before you decide if they are the one you want to be on a date with.
CNN: What are the dos and don'ts of a first date?
Gonzaga: This is the fun part -- the date -- getting to know someone again. Sometimes people get intimidated and say, "I have to go through all this again." But really it's the opportunity of getting to know someone new.
Make sure you're comfortable with wherever the meeting is going to be.
Spend more time getting to know the other person rather than trying to get them to know you. Don't share too much about yourself and don't try to sell yourself. Don't brag. The only way you can find someone else to connect with is getting to know them.
The last thing I like to tell people is to remember to have fun!

Heavyweight knockouts: #UCL giants collide in last 16 – UEFA Champions League – News
The UEFA Champions Leagoue round of 16 is usually a bridge between the group stage and the high-stakes tussles from the quarter-finals onwards.
Still seeded, the opening knockout round usually pits highly-fancied group winners against less vaunted runners-up, with few ties between two pre-tournament favourites. But not always: Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain's last-16 meeting is as prestigious as it comes. We look back at other match-ups which ensured big-name casualties before the end of March.
2016/17: Paris Saint-Germain 4-0/1-6 Barcelona (agg: 5-6)
Paris, unbeaten in the group stage, were being tipped for a first UEFA Champions League title last season when they took on Spanish giants, and their backers were hardly discouraged when two Ángel Di María goals helped them to a seemingly impregnable lead after the first leg.
Barcelona gave it a good go but were only 3-1 up 88 minutes into the second leg, three goals shy. But then Neymar went to work, reducing the deficit with a superb curling free-kick, converting a penalty won by Luis Suárez then, five minutes into added time, setting up Sergi Roberto for an unlikely winner. Neymar, of course, will be in Paris colours against Madrid.
2015/16: Juventus 2-2/2-4aet Bayern München (agg: 4-6)
Juve had not conceded at home in their group and had let in only seven in their 18 Turin matches all season, but Bayern were two up 55 minutes into the first leg and the Bianconeri were fortunate to level the tie.
In the return Juve streaked into an early two-goal lead only to come unstuck in the last 17 minutes, Robert Lewandowski pulling one back before Thomas Müller headed an added-time equaliser. Substitutes Thiago Alcántara and, on loan from Juve, Kingsley Coman won it for Bayern in extra time.
2012/13: Real Madrid 1-1/2-1 Manchester United (agg: 3-2)
"The match the world wanted to see," according to José Mourinho as he went up against future club United in what turned out to be Sir Alex Ferguson's final European tie. It was a former United player, one Cristiano Ronaldo, who cancelled out Danny Welbeck's first-leg opener, before Madrid-born David de Gea held firm.
Advantage United, except that Mourinho didn't get where he was that day without last-16 successes at Old Trafford (think Porto 2004). Despite a first-half Sergio Ramos own goal at Old Trafford, Madrid surged back after Nani's red card thanks to substitute Luka Modrić and, naturally, Ronaldo.
2010/11: Internazionale Milano 0-1/3-2 Bayern München (agg: 3-3, Inter win on away goals)
A year on from meeting in the final, Inter (pipped in their group by a Gareth Bale-inspired Tottenham Hotspur) took on Bayern again, and revenge for the German team looked on the cards when Mario Gomez got the solitary goal in the 90th minute in Milan.
Only once before in a UEFA Champions League knockout tie had a team gone through after losing a home first leg, but Inter were not letting go of their title easily and although Samuel Eto'o's early goal was quickly trumped by Gomez and Müller, Wesley Sneijder and, two minutes from time, Goran Pandev, ensured Bayern hearts were broken again.
2006/07: Barcelona 1-2/1-0 Liverpool (agg: 2-2, Liverpool win on away goals)
The previous two winners went head to head, and like in all the ties listed here, there was very little between them. In the first leg Deco gave Barcelona an early lead and they were all over Liverpool, only for Víctor Valdés to carry a Craig Bellamy header over his own line; the Wales striker later set up John Arne Riise's winner. Eidur Gudjohnsen scored with 15 minutes left at Anfield but unlike for Inter four years later, away goals went against Barcelona.

Feature Article
Gathering information in field settings: A social dynamics approach
By James E. Driskell and Tripp Driskell
The military has moved from a traditional view of intelligence gathering as the primary responsibility of intelligence specialists to a perspective in which "every soldier is a collector" (Jackson, 2007), where every soldier participates in intelligence gathering as the eyes and ears of the force. For example, Hazlett (2006) has noted that the human collector remains the most deployable and adaptable tool that can be put in the field. Accordingly, good intelligence is built up from the gathering of low-grade or field intelligence that takes place at checkpoints and in the street-level encounters between military personnel and civilians.
There are two consequences of this "every soldier a collector" perspective. First, it emphasizes the gathering of intelligence in situ or in place in the field settings in which military operations occur. In a typical scenario, military personnel may pull a vehicle over at a checkpoint and engage the passengers in a short conversation as to where they have been or what activities they have been involved in, or a soldier may have the opportunity to question family members or persons of interest on a street corner. Second, these brief investigative interviews take place in a social context, which is likely to involve two or more persons of interest. That is, the field interview may take place on a one-on-one basis but is just as likely to include the opportunity to question two witnesses or accomplices or co-conspirators together.
We are reminded of the haunting video image of the two Boston marathon attackers walking together in the crowd prior to the bombing. If an official had reason to engage them at that point, would there be indicators in their responses to questioning that would have lead the interviewer to perhaps detain them for further questioning? In other words, are there unique cues to deception that may be observed between co-conspirators or accomplices? Are there social indicators of deception?
Why Is This Question Important?
A primary reason this topic is important is that it relates to the practical requirement for understanding deception at a social level. Many opportunities for intelligence gathering in the field occur at the social or group level. In describing cordon and search operations in Iraq that uncovered an improvised explosive device manufacturing cell, a platoon sergeant stated "I could tell by the two guys standing outside. They didn't seem right" (Miller, 2005, para. 8). The important question from a scientific standpoint is as follows: Why didn't they seem right? What did they say or do that seemed deceptive? In other words, if you question these two persons jointly regarding their activities, are there characteristics of speech or behavior that are exhibited between the two suspects that indicate deception?
A second reason this topic is important is that we have almost no existing scientific data available to answer this question. Regrettably, research has failed to keep up with changes in intelligence gathering practice. A considerable amount of research over the years has examined the individual act of deception, lying, or giving false information. In a typical study, an individual commits a transgression and then lies to an interviewer whose task is to discern credibility. One significant limitation of this research is that it examines deception as an exclusively individual-level phenomenon. Most of this research has examined the behavior of either a single deceiver (i.e., research to determine the cues exhibited by individuals during deception) or a single observer (i.e., research to assess the cues used by observers to detect deception).
Table 1 illustrates the state of the research literature. Almost all research on deception is represented in Cell A: studies in which an individual commits a transgression and is interviewed individually to determine truth or deception. Cell B is not relevant. In Cell C, there are a handful of studies that have been conducted in which two or more persons jointly participate in a transgression, yet they are isolated and interviewed individually. In Cell D, in which two or more persons have jointly participated in a transgression (which we term "conspiracy") and in which information is obtained by interviewing these persons jointly, research is almost nonexistent.
There are several reasons why this is the case. First, much research on deception has taken place in academic settings in the experimental laboratory, conducted by researchers primarily interested in individual emotions, such as guilt or shame. Second, there is a longstanding tradition within law enforcement to isolate potential suspects as soon as possible prior to interviewing or interrogation.
Isolation is carried out to remove the subject from familiar surroundings and people, heighten the stress of interrogation, and increase the subject's anxiety and incentive to confess. Yet, some have argued that there is an important difference between the law enforcement interrogation and intelligence interviews: The purpose of a law enforcement interrogation is to obtain a confession from a suspect, whereas the purpose of the interview in an intelligence-gathering context is to gather accurate, useful information from a source.
The result is that we know very little about social indicators of deception—unique cues to deception that may occur between co-conspirators or accomplices. The goal of our initial research was to extend the study of deception beyond the analysis of individual deception to situations in which two or more people may be involved in a transgression and in which information may be obtained by interviewing these persons jointly. The theoretical contribution of this research is that it extends existing research that only looks at individual deception by considering deception in a social context.
What did we hope to gain from this perspective? First, although DePaulo et al. (2003) noted that "the looks and sounds of deceit are faint" (p. 104), the looks and sounds of deceit may be stronger in a situation in which one suspected conspirator is in the presence of another. In other words, it is likely that the signs of deception or intent that are evident on an individual basis may be more evident when conspirators are in the presence of one another. There is some theoretical basis for predicting that the presence of a co-conspirator may lead to an increase or escalation in signs of arousal/affect (Mullen, Bryant, & Driskell, 1997).
Second, there may be different types of verbal or nonverbal cues that distinguish between individual deception and conspiracy. For example, gaze may not be a reliable indicator of individual deception when operationalized as the extent of gaze between a suspect and interviewer (see DePaulo et al., 2003). Yet, gaze may be a reliable cue to conspiracy when operationalized as the extent of gaze between two co-conspirators under questioning.
Third, there may be "looks and sounds" of deceit at a group level, such as cues stemming from interaction between co-conspirators, that may not be apparent when these persons are interviewed or observed individually. For example, interactive behaviors—such as acknowledgments, back-channel responses, or corrections or repairs of communication—may serve as cues to deception during interaction between suspects, and these potential cues are simply not observable at an individual level of analysis.
Study 1
To test this approach, we conducted an initial study to examine social indicators of deception (J. E. Driskell, Salas, & Driskell, 2012). When people lie, they often concoct a story about an event that did not take place. For example, if you ask two suspects whether they had been in a restricted area, suspects attempting to hide where they had been will be forced to fabricate a story. On the other hand, suspects who are describing truthfully an event that did in fact occur will retrieve a description of this event from memory.
We believe that the key to distinguishing truthful dyads from deceptive dyads is the concept of transactive memory . Two people describe an event differently if they had actually performed that event together versus if they did not but are fabricating a story about an event that did not take place.
If you and I share some experience, say that we go on a fishing trip together, we encode memories of that event between us. That is, you store in memory some parts of the event, and I store some parts. When we are questioned about the event, we recall it also in a joint manner—you recall some information, and I recall some information. Our style of interaction when recalling this jointly experienced event is collaborative—we elaborate each other's sentences and fill in stories for one another. In short, information that is encoded transactively is retrieved in an interactive manner. This is not as evident when two people recall a story that is fabricated or that did not take place.
We conducted an empirical study in which two police officers/firefighters who had served together as partners took part at a time. In the "truth" conditions, they were asked to simply describe an event or call that they had been on in the recent past. The experimenter conducted an interview with each pair of officers, asking them to describe this event, their actions, their partner's role, and actions taken to resolve the problem. In the "deception" conditions, the officers were instructed to fabricate a story on the spot that did not take place, but to make the story as realistic and believable as possible. We expected that the officers in the truth-telling dyads would be able to draw on shared memory of the actual event they had participated in and would be able to describe this event in an interactive manner. In contrast, deceptive dyads are forced to fabricate an event (an individual-level cognitive task) and are more likely to describe that event from an individual perspective. Results bore this out. In contrast to those in truth-telling dyads, those in deceptive dyads were less likely to conduct back-and-forth exchanges, less likely to look at one another, and less likely to exhibit synchrony in communication ( the degree to which one member of the dyad exhibits similar behaviors and uses similar linguistic styles as the other member). Moreover, these effects were substantial.
Study 2
Viewing deception from a social or group perspective led us to consider another side of the coin: how the "power" of teams may be exploited by using two interviewers in an interview setting. For example, we have the adage that two heads can often be better than one, but it has also been lightheartedly noted that the optimal size for a group is 0.7 persons.
In initially considering this question, we made two observations. First, tandem interviewers are used with some regularity in interviewing suspects in law enforcement settings. Somewhat surprisingly, we were not able to discern any specific rationale for the use of one or two interviewers. Officers questioned stated that it did not depend on any specific factor, such as the severity of the crime, but usually on whether another case officer was present and available for the interview. Second, concern was voiced in the literature that employing two interviewers may have negative consequences, specifically that "three is a crowd" and that it may be "more difficult to establish rapport" (Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment, 2007, pp. 2–12). Moreover, the Department of Defense field manual on intelligence collection cautions that a third person in the communications loop may negatively impact the establishment of rapport (Department of the Army, 2006). Therefore, we conducted an initial study to examine the possible negative effects of a third party on rapport in the investigative interview (T. Driskell, Blickensderfer, & Salas, 2013).
Investigative interview transcripts acquired from state and local police departments in the southeastern United States were used as the source material for this study. We requested that these agencies provide samples of investigative interview transcripts that had been adjudicated and were available in their files. Of the 55 transcripts obtained, 30 were dyadic interviews (a single interviewer and interviewee), and 25 were triadic interviews (two interviewers and an interviewee). We conducted a linguistic analysis of the interview content to examine three components of rapport: (a) mutual attentiveness or verbal immediacy, (b) positivity or positive affect, and (c) coordination or synchrony of interaction. The results indicated that there was no negative impact on rapport attributed to tandem interviewers.
We are currently examining the potentially more interesting question of the advantages offered by the use of teams —two individuals working together— in conducting the investigative interview. We believe that tandem interviewers can benefit from the traditional advantages of teams—the ability to pool resources, exchange information, coordinate actions, catch errors, and share responsibility for decisions. Furthermore, the task of an investigative interviewer is a demanding one, involving controlling the interview, formulating questions, evaluating responses, monitoring interviewee behavior, and framing follow-up probes, among other tasks, placing a considerable burden on the capacity of the individual interviewer. If two interviewers are employed, the intricacies and demands of the interview can be shared between them, potentially reducing task demand and freeing up cognitive resources. Furthermore, having two interviewers allows each to follow-up on the other's questions, fill in gaps, and check anomalies or inconsistencies that may not be caught by a single interviewer. In brief, the extensive research on teams would lead us to believe that teams can provide distinct advantages in the investigative interview, although these questions are untested.
Adopting a social dynamics perspective on the intelligence interview results in several consequences. First, there are unique research questions that arise, as noted above, that are not addressed from an individual-level approach. Although the term "investigative interview" may evoke the mental image of a hard-nosed interrogator on one side of the table and a sweating suspect on the other, in today's national security environment, information-gathering interviews are also likely to take place in field settings, such as checkpoints, street corners, and daily patrols. However, the predominant research perspective on the investigative interview has been at the individual level, which has resulted in less emphasis on the group dynamics of the interview context and how team-level strategies can enhance information collection in an intelligence interview environment. We propose that the gains that have been achieved from "harnessing the power of the team" in group decision making and other contexts can lead to new strategies and approaches to enhance the intelligence interview.

Whenever his football-playing days end, Juice Williams might try a career in diplomacy. It seems he has mastered the art of understatement.
"Starting out the league 0-2 is definitely a situation we try to avoid," the Illinois quarterback said this week.
That's the situation the Illini face Saturday at Michigan. They know an 0-2 Big Ten start would make a return to the Rose Bowl unlikely.

'Conditional Coupons' and Increasingly Malicious Mass Mailings
Kaspersky Lab announces the publication of its spam report for December 2011. The last month of the year was predictably quiet – compared to November the share of spam in email traffic fell 4.4% and averaged 76.2% for the month.
The lull in business in the run-up to the holidays means botnets are hamstrung by empty offices and silent computers, while the spammers themselves often take a break for the festive season. However, even the approach of Christmas does not prevent them from coming up with new tactics to attract users to their mass mailings. One of the latest ploys has been the use of coupon services to boost demand for products that are widely advertised in spam. Distributors of German pharmaceutical spam concluded that offering a 'conditional coupon' with a 10% discount would increase demand for the medications they sell.
"We still have not detected any malicious attachments disguised as coupons, although we expect that these will show up in spam sooner or later," warns Maria Namestnikova, Senior Spam Analyst at Kaspersky Lab. "Anything and everything that is in demand on the Internet is eventually added to the spammers' arsenals in one way or another. Primarily, new approaches are typically used by the participants of affiliate programs that send out spam advertising medications and replicas of luxury goods. They are later joined by distributors of malicious code."
Malicious files, were detected in 4% of all email traffic in December, which was an increase of 1% compared to November's figure. A third of all Kaspersky Lab email antivirus detections were for mail emanating from Russia and the US. The malicious program most frequently detected remains Trojan-Spy.HTML.Fraud.gen (11%) – a Trojan designed to look like a registration web page for a financial organisation or some other online service. When it came to spam sources in December, India remained on top, accounting for 12.43% of all spam, followed by Indonesia, Brazil and Peru. Significant movers among this particular rating in December were South Korea falling from second to fifth place and the UK, which fell from seventh to seventeenth. Remarkably, the latter started the month as the eighth biggest source of spam but had fallen to 53rd by the final week of December.
The full version of the spam activity report for December 2011 is available at: http://www.securelist.com.

The process for choosing a creative business name involves examining the type of business being named and the tendencies of the target demographic. Creative names can also employ literary techniques, such as similes and puns or references to pop culture in order to highlight key aspects of the business.Continue Reading
Finding an effective and creative name for a business involves understanding the business itself and the habits of the ideal customers. For example, if the business is a used book store, a good creative name should take into account the fact that customers have an affinity for used items and books that are used rather an new or digital books.
One of the biggest mistakes new business owners make when naming a business is becoming emotionally invested in the actual naming process. A good creative business name should be something that represents the business but is also easy for customers to remember and with which they can form a connection. For example, one may want to name a business after a family member who played a role in the initial formation of the business, but if the family member's name doesn't stand out or is difficult to pronounce, it doesn't make for a very effective name.Learn more about Corporations

Community, Club and Families - Together we can make a difference!
As with many non-profit organizations that benefit our children and community, the successful operation of Gulf Coast Soccer depends heavily on many volunteers devoting time to coaching, fundraising, field maintenance, serving on the board of directors or one of our committees, or even taking on a special project or event. Most of our volunteers have more than one child and are juggling their volunteer work with full time employment. Like most of us, they have busy lives too and choose to volunteer here to make a difference. We cannot thank them enough for their service and hope the satisfaction of knowing they are investing time into the lives of a children warms their heart.
Each year, many longtime players graduate from high school and move on to adulthood as younger kids join the club to experience soccer for the first time. Since most people volunteer in support of their children, we must continuously replace a percentage of our volunteers each year to sustain a viable operation. With a growing club that is striving for continuous improvement in our programs and the overall experience of our members, it seems we never have enough help. In addition, we have many great ideas and projects on the drawing board that we could implement if we just had more people to help bring them to fruition. We have formed various committees and single task volunteer positions to help spread the workload.
We need your help! Regardless of the time and experience you have, we can find a project or action item to fit your schedule, ability, and interest level. We have a Facility Master Plan and numerous improvement projects and activities to implement. We are seeking volunteers to help implement these tasks during the season and offseason. We are also looking for sponsors and donations to help fund the improvements or provide equipment, labor or expertise. If you or someone you know might be interested in making a donation of some kind, please see our Sponsorship and Donations section below.
How to Get Involved
To begin, learn about our many volunteer positions and opportunities available within the club by reviewing the 'Volunteer Needs' and 'Sponsorship and Donation Needs' sections below. Talk to board members or committee members to see what they do and ask if they need help with a task or event. If you notice a need or inefficiency within the club or on the complex and feel like you can make a contribution, let someone know. It may be that an improvement can be made if someone like you volunteers to lend a hand!
Volunteer Onboarding and Support (in development)
The Gulf Coast Soccer Club Operations Manual includes job descriptions, perpetual calendars, and procedures for most board and committee positions. This manual also provides "How to" guides for many tasks such as marking a soccer field, running community engagement events, opening day events, etc.

Sponsorship and Donation Needs:

We try to be as self-sufficient as possible so we conduct several fundraisers each year with our membership. We also seek out sponsors from the local community that appreciate our role in the community serving youth and want to support us. Below is a list of some of the sponsorship and donation needs we have.

Pink has been left fuming after hackers cracked into her Facebook.com page and targeted her personal photos.
The So What singer took to her Twitter.com page on Sunday (04Sep11) to rant about the internet pranksters who invaded her private account on the social networking site.
She tweeted, "To all the people I don't know hacking into my private pictures on Facebook, please stop. Have some respect for privacy."
Pink later added, "It's my own fault for posting a picture. I should know better. Anyways, there are way more important things in the world than my Facebook page."

Our U.S. election process is about as sophisticated as a high school's. The way it now operates, we the people are not given a choice in terms of leadership abilities but rather chicanery skills. Each campaign may start out to educate and inform but in the end the candidates are dragged down into the mud where they are forced to stay alive by throwing at each other handfuls of what they're stuck in, while lying, obfuscating, misrepresenting and generally messing with our minds. Is this a way to elect someone to lead or represent us?
Then there's the whole money issue. We have set a new record: $6 billion has been raised and nearly spent on all national campaigns for the White House, Senate and Congress. And $2 billion of that is just on the presidential campaign. Think of the good that money could have done for the victims of Hurricane Sandy!
In an era doubled over with economic cramps, we can find it in our hearts and wallets to shell out enough funds to grease the engines of deceit and support power grabs made by our politicians, but not to strengthen our state budgets, our schools, our small business loans, our environmental concerns, our rebuilding of infrastructure, you name it. No, instead American dollars are going to overpaid consultants and ad agencies. They take that money and make outrageously priced commercials that blare out outrageously ridiculous claims. And we ourselves are not outraged? Have we been lulled to sleep by the process? This waste of money is downright obscene.
While he or she takes turns at the wheel, driving us toward that fiscal cliff, every pol talks about creating jobs, but all they're creating are alleged jobs for people who don't need them, those who say they know how to strategize, cheat and manipulate. That becomes the basis of our alleged economy. Isn't there a wake-up call here somewhere?
A few weeks ago, the man who called television the "vast wasteland" oh so many years ago, Newton Minow, came roaring out of retirement, to point out that all our budding emperors were spending too much on new clothes. In part, his op-ed in the October 2nd New York Times said:
"Sadly, the marriage of television and politics in our country has been mostly a history of disappointment. In 1952, television stations -- which are licensed by the F.C.C. to serve the public interest -- began selling commercials to political campaigns. Other democracies have rejected this idea, and instead provide public service time to candidates during campaign periods. Over the next 60 years, more and more political commercials flooded the airwaves, forcing candidates to raise more and more money. Many of the slurs and slogans in these commercials -- which are often truth-free -- are now paid for by "super PACs" and secretive 501(c)(4) groups. I believe it is unconscionable that candidates for public office have to buy access to the airwaves -- which the public itself owns -- to talk to the public."
I agree with Newton Minow. In fact, we should get rid of all ads and spots for political campaigns. All they do is make money for media folks. They do not inform the electorate. They infirm us! They make us dotty. The twisted idea of debates alone is enough to frustrate a dog.
We should disallow all campaign advertising, unless the candidate is willing to be in his/her ad strapped to a polygraph machine. And we should get rid of what's now referred to as the aftermath of the Citizens United decision, which gave us Super PACs. That's doing as much damage to our democracy as Sandy did to our landscape. With what the U.S. Supreme Court passed and with what has been allowed to stand and prevail without any oversight or enforcement is another outrage. Cash-wielding hitmen hiding behind charity masks have kidnapped the system and proven that the rich not only get richer, they also get all the power.
The only power we the people have left is the power over the remote. Let's just turn off our TV sets during election campaigns. Let's do our own research and discuss the candidates with one another. Avoid the pundits. Who knighted them to tell us what's going on? As it is, the election cycle really has become synonymous with the spin cycle. Well, the rinse is just about over. I think my brain is clean now. On Tuesday, I am voting No.
