Big defensive stop allows Maryland to escape Belmont, 79-77
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Belmont proved it belonged. Maryland is moving on.
The Terrapins survived a last-second upset at the NCAA Tournament when Eric Ayala deflected a pass, leading to a steal by Darryl Morsell that allowed Maryland to escape with a 79-77 victory in the East Region.
Playing their second tournament game in less than 48 hours, No. 11-seeded Belmont shook off weary legs to justify the selection committee giving them one of the final at-large bids.
Belmont took Maryland to the final seconds but the No. 6 Terrapins came up with the winning stop at the end.
"If not for one little deflection," said Rick Byrd, Belmont's 805-win coach, "I think we'd be playing Saturday afternoon."
Instead, it was Maryland (23-10) advancing to face LSU in the second round following the thriller with Belmont.
"Is my heart rate like I'm sleeping? No!" Terrapins coach Mark Turgeon said. "I just love it. So much fun."
Dylan Windler scored 35 points to give Belmont a chance, hitting seven 3-pointers with his Harden-like step back beyond the arc. .
"They're almost impossible to guard," Turgeon said, with plenty of admiration in his voice for the mid-major powerhouse from Nashville, Tennessee.
Maryland was clinging to a one-point lead and the shot clock was off as Belmont (26-6) went for a buzzer-beating win. The Bruins didn't bother calling a timeout to set up a play; they knew what they wanted to do — a backdoor pass to Windler that had been one of their bread-and-butter calls all afternoon.
But Ayala got a hand on the pass from freshman Grayson Murphy and Morsell stepped in front of Windler to pick off the ball, the Belmont star tumbling to the court behind him. Morsell was fouled with 2.5 seconds to go, sending him to the other end of the court for a pair of free throws.
"Coaches were screaming, 'Back door!'" Morsell said. "Eric got his hand on the ball."
Morsell made the first free throw and missed the second, forcing Windler to heave a desperation shot from midcourt that didn't come close to hitting the rim.
That set off a relieved celebration from the Maryland contingent.
Windler sank to the court, thoroughly exhausted after playing all but 88 seconds on the heels of a victory over Temple in a play-in game Tuesday — the first NCAA Tournament victory in Belmont history.
Jalen Smith led four Maryland players in double figures with 19 points, including a huge three-point play with 1:41 remaining. Belmont appeared to get a crucial stop when Nick Muszynski swatted away a shot by Bruno Fernando, setting off a wild scramble that left four players — three from Belmont, one from Maryland — sprawled on the floor.
Morsell came up with the loose ball and fed it to Smith under the basket for a thunderous dunk that also drew a foul. Smith knocked down the free throw, giving the Terps a 77-73 lead.
It held up.
Belmont led by as many as 12 points in the first half and went to the break with a 40-34 lead.
Maryland returned from the locker room intent on putting its size advantage to good use. The Terrapins began pounding the ball inside for easy baskets, or popping it back outside for open jumpers when the Bruins attempted to double-team the Maryland big men — and it resulted in a 14-0 run to start the half.
"We let them come out in the second half and run loose on us," Byrd said.
Belmont: The Bruins hung tough despite missing one of their top backups. Freshman forward Caleb Hollander remained at the team hotel in Jacksonville with an illness and the Bruins were without a player who averaged 7.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Backup center Seth Adelsperger, known as "Mountain Man," gave the Bruins some huge minutes when Muszynski went to the bench with foul trouble. Not known as much of an offensive threat, Adelsperger rocked the rim with back-to-back dunks that sent the Belmont bench into a tizzy.
Maryland: This was the sort of test that should serve the Terps well in the next round. They displayed plenty of balance, scored on the inside and the perimeter, and made only five turnovers in an extremely well-played game by both teams. Belmont also had just five turnovers.
"We played really well to win this game," Turgeon said.
Belmont: Returns home to savor its first NCAA victory and a stellar season that included a triumph at UCLA and a 14-game winning streak.
Maryland: Will be looking to advance to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2016 when it faces LSU.

Licensed and Insurance
In order to provide professional junk hauling services in Ulster County, companies must be fully licensed and insured. A license certifies that the company has completed the training that's necessary in order to provide safe and effective results.

Acceptance of Various Types of Waste
Of course, you want to be sure that the Cragsmoor, NY junk removal company you hire will accept the waste that you need to dispose of. Not all junk hauling contractors do, however, take all types of debris. For example, some may only accept construction debris, while others might only take construction debris.

It's also a good idea to find out if there are any items that they won't accept.
A Proven Track Record of Success
Reputable Cragsmoor, NY junk removal companies will have a proven track record of excellence. They will be well-established and will have a long-standing history serving the Ulster County community. Ask each contractor if they have a list of references that you can contact and make sure to reach out to them.

If any of the companies you consult with don't honor your request for references or if you have a hard time getting in touch with the people they provide, consider those red flags. A reliable junk hauling service will be more than happy to share the names and contact information of customers they have serviced and you should be able to directly speak to at least a few of the names on their list of references.

Love it. On a more micro level than stock market investing: Bargaining is returning as an art form. You can negotiate prices on goods and services--it never hurts to ask if this is "the best price?".
If you believe the US economy is never going to recover, grab some canned food and a gun and head for Montana. But if you do, it's probably time to invest. Or at least spend.
As I point out in the accompanying news story, prices on some major assets are priced like it's 1999. And if past is prologue that means there's money to be made. Perhaps major money. I live in South Florida, so many of the recession's effects may be amplified here. But we're seeing housing prices not seen in this century. I just looked at a house for $300,000 that sold in 2005 (note: this was at least a year before the market peaked) for $570,000. Commercial properties that made no economic sense just a few years ago now present a better cash-on-cash return than most other investments, and they come with tax write-offs that make them even more appealing. And stocks? As the market tanked earlier this year, I started buying. Since January, I've invested about $90,000, and as I write this I'm up about $31,000: an unrealized gain of about 35%. (I'll share my exact portfolio in future posts.) And if you think the stock train has already left station, check this out: even after gaining more than 50% from this year's lows, the stock market today is still below where it was in January of 2000. If you could go back 10 years in time and be able to buy stocks, wouldn't you want to?
And if spending sounds more fun to you than investing, you're still in fat city. Boats…especially used boats… are way cheaper than they were a few years ago. It's much easier to drive a hard bargain on cars, both new and used. Same with motorcycles. And if travel's your thing, hotels, planes and cruises are a lot easier on the pocketbook today than they were a few years ago. They're also less crowded.
The media loves to shout the blues with headlines about how life sucks when the economy tanks. Don't get me wrong: it does suck for those who can't find work. But for those who do have a job, a healthy savings account and some optimism about the long-term, it doesn't get any better than this. Opportunity in the form of lower prices doesn't knock all that often: if you have the wherewithal, my advice is to answer the door.
I leave you with the words of legendary investor Warren Buffet. Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.
Are you making smart buys in this recession? If so I would love to hear about your picks and tips in the comments!

Wow, I can't believe my eyes. This article seems to have found it's way onto the wrong blog.
Buying a boat?!?
A hole in the water where you throw money into.
When the market has no actual reason to recover?!?
Crazy talk.
Keep saving people. Live well within your means.
Always buy used. Especially for depreciating assets likes vehicles. You can get 50% off the price after one year to a few years!
That money can go to non-materialistic things, like vacations with loved ones
Yes, it is hard for some people.... For the ones not prepared financially speaking. Definitely a tough wake up call there.
But for those who weren't on the edge, who didn't need a small push to go off the cliff... (Or on the verge of retirement, that kinda sucks.) It's a great time.
We did buy our third car this year, a very used car at that. (A 1990.) We got her for ridiculously cheap and in order to build my credit, since I'm only 21, we got a loan to do so at an awesomely low rate... Meaning I can build credit for fairly cheap!
The economy's reinforced my savings beliefs, and we've been doing great. (Albeit we're in a fairly unique position, age being one of our biggest benefactors here.) I'm glad that not everyone has the doom and gloom outlook, especially since the worst is probably over.
I started buying back in 2008 and early this year and still buying. It's great having a healthy account and zero debt. The economy will always balance itself out in the long run. In the meantime, it's great to look for anamolies in te sectors and grab what you think might do well. Anyone can make money in this economy, you just have to b willing to do the research and take risks.
If things are priced like 1999 does that mean we are going to have another stock market crash like we did after 2000? I think I would pick a different time frame to compare for the market.
It is true that you are starting to see some deals in real estate and luxury items such as boats. Negotiating will always be a key skill to have in buying.
In regards to the stock market I have a couple of blog posts that you may want to read before jumping into the market.
Caution should always be exercised when investing.
I wish prices in San Francisco were down 50% like in wherever you live in Florida. It's absolutely NUTS right now with traffic, job offers, packed restaurants.
You're right. If you survived this downturn, the leverage on the upside is huge.

"Slicing Through Money's Mysteries"
People are starting to get greedy now, 6 months ago people were fearful, but that doesn't mean that the market won't keep on going up.
I am "only" 45% up, only because i sell too soon. But this way is better, dont like to take great risks.
Post #7 in this thread was authored by someone who thinks they know the stock market better than others. What's funny is the links he provided takes you to pieces he wrote in which he makes a stock market prediction which is just way off the mark and then a funny follow up statement in the next linked story.
"...just that for the next 60 days we have a downward bias in the market."
In August he predicted both September and October to be dismal months for the markets. He was inarguably wrong about the September call. Dead wrong. October has certainly gotten off to a promising start. Appears he will be wrong. Again.
The second link takes you to another worthless piece by this author who stated the following:
"First let me say I have absolutely no idea which way the market is going to go."
I guess I would say two things about this. First, you have proven conclusively in the first piece you linked that you, indeed, have no clue about which way the market is going. Second, if you admit that you are clueless as to the direction the markets will take why are you making multi-month predictions about the direction of the stock market? You are a joke.
So here is my recommendation - don't bother with any predictions or lend any value what so ever to the market calls or supposed insight of the individual who produced post #7.
Hi Ken!! Thanks for the kind words. Maybe I can answer some of your concerns.
Yep my call on September was off. Pretty badly. October is just starting so what say we wait until the end of the month to determine if it is off.
None of us know which way the market will go. My two "worthless" articles were presented to show a historical basis and a potential for downside in the markets. I fully admit they may be wrong.
I won't be the first person to get a market call wrong... and won't be the last. I will say that I have been out of the market for quite a while and missed last years crash so am ahead of the game.
I used analytical data to show why the market appears to be over valued at today's prices and why historically September and October are bad months to be in the market. September proved otherwise this year.
Do you have analytical data to show why now is a great time to be in the market? The article says we should buy like it is 1999.. remember what happened to the market after 2000?
I enjoy a good debate and am always willing to discuss data, theory, hypothesis, conjecture, etc. Please take the posts I wrote and ignore them if they don't suit your views. I hope everyone that reads them uses them to broaden their knowledge and have logical reasons to be in the market.
My dentist sent me a coupon good if I made another appointment by a certain date. I already had an appointment before that date, so I called and said that sending me the coupon was a mistake, but I could still use it. Apparently people are putting off dental work during the recession, so this may be a good time to catch up if you have the money.
My boyfriend's car's finish is coming off in a way that could eventually lead to a break in the integrity of the metal underneath. He got a really good deal on re-painting the car.
Anything that people can put off when they are worried about their next pay check is probably a good deal right now. It's probably a good time for home repairs, re-roofing your house, and doing planned renovations.
Most self-employed people are also hungry. You can probably get a deal on massages, having your web-pages redesigned and stuff like that.
Debbie M, tell your boyfriend about the miracle called "primer" and "spray paint".
they will protect his car at a much cheaper cost than a pro paint job.
of course, it will not look as good of course as a pro paint job. But will save him $600.
If the car is old enough to have a failing finish, having a paint job is a luxury (unnecessary) expense, unless of course he can't stand to have his car look super nice. Which is a view that has its merits I will admit.
Disregard Scott's comments.
We are going through a bad separation.
BTW Scott, I'm keeping the Benz and Mr. Biggles.
Was he worth it? Drunk or not, I don't care.
I like the first comment "A boat? A hole in the water where you throw money into" - we think alike ;)

Establishing liability for harm caused to patients in a resource-deficient environment
David McQuoid-Mason
In a resource-deficient environment, liability for medical malpractice depends on whether there was intentional or negligent wrongful conduct by the parties concerned, or whether they were vicariously liable for the wrongful acts or omissions of others. Departments of health and private sector hospital bodies will be liable for the wrongful conduct of their administrators where, through maladministration, they have harmed patients by intentionally or negligently diverting funds from health care services. Such bodies cannot escape liability for harm caused to patients arising from a shortage of resources where these were caused by the intentional or negligent wrongful conduct of their administrative employees. Departments of health and private health bodies will also be vicariously liable for the intentional or negligent wrongful acts or omissions of their clinical health care and support staff. Clinicians and support staff working in a resource-starved environment, however, will be judged by the standard of how reasonably competent health care practitioners or support staff employees in the same field and faced with similar conditions would have acted.
P's case
Consider the following hypothetical case involving patient P:
P is 23 years old and at full-term pregnancy. Her transfer from a district hospital to a provincial hospital is delayed by 3 hours because of lack of transport. At the provincial hospital, a fetal monitor is not available as only 4 of the 12 are functional. Only 4 midwives are available for the 9 women in the labour ward where P is in labour with a cervical dilation of 5 cm. After 45 minutes in the labour ward, P is given the first available monitor because she had a previous caesarean section with a stillborn child; the monitor shows severe fetal distress. However, all 4 theatres are busy, with the first one available in only 20 - 30 minutes' time. P is sent to theatre but waits 40 minutes for a lift before she arrives there. The lifts regularly malfunction and are continually repaired rather than being replaced or upgraded. P is taken to theatre and, within 15 minutes of her arrival, is anaesthetised and the C-section commenced. The uterus is found to be ruptured, with the fetus in the abdomen. Attempts to resuscitate the child are unsuccessful. The baby could have been saved if the inter-hospital transfer had been quicker, the fetal state had been detected earlier, and there had not been a 40-minute delay for a lift.
Management has regularly over a number of years been informed by clinicians at the provincial hospital of long delays in inter-hospital transfers, shortage of labour ward staff, deficiencies in fetal monitoring, and malfunctioning lifts. The excuse for these shortcomings has been lack of funds. However, the provincial health budget has been overdrawn for some years because of maladministration such as unlawful tendering practices, wasteful expenditure on travel, entertainment and study tours, high expenditure on consultants, etc., which has led to substantial cuts in expenditure on the provincial health care services. (This scenario is based on an actual incident at a provincial hospital.)
Who is liable?
In such circumstances, who can be held legally responsible for the death of the fetus and the harm suffered by P? This question can be answered by considering the requirements of liability for malpractice, negligence in general and professional negligence, in the context of a resource-starved health care environment. The legal principles apply equally to the public and private sectors.
Malpractice, negligence in general and professional negligence
Malpractice is delictual conduct (acts or omissions) including intentional and negligent wrongs that harm other people.1 These occur when people do or not do things which they know are unlawful, e.g. knowingly harming patients by diverting funds earmarked for the delivery of health care services to other unauthorised expenditure. Such wrongdoers will be liable for damages in monetary terms (e.g. damages for medical expenses or lost wages) and sentimental damages (e.g. damages for hurt feelings). If patients are harmed by negligence, wrongdoers may only be sued for damages that can be measured in monetary terms - not sentimental damages.1
For a successful delictual action, the plaintiff must prove that: there was a voluntary act or omission by the defendant; the conduct was unlawful or wrongful (infringed a lawful right, e.g. the right to life or bodily integrity); the defendant had legal capacity (e.g. was not a young child or insane); the defendant was at fault in the form of intention or negligence; the act or omission caused the loss to the plaintiff; and the plaintiff suffered loss or damages.2
Negligence in general
Negligence in general means that a reasonable person would have foreseen the likelihood of harm and taken steps to guard against it.3 For example, where hospital managers know that patients will be harmed if they do not take steps which reasonable managers could take to prevent such harm, and fail to do so, they will be liable for foreseeable harm caused to patients. Therefore, health care managers could be held liable for negligently failing to repair or replace medical equipment or obtain the required medical items (including drugs) when resources were available, or when they negligently diverted resources from health care services and patients suffered harm as a result.
If several wrongdoers contributed to the harm suffered by a patient, the damages can be apportioned between them.4 Usually, the wrongdoers will be jointly and severally liable, meaning that one can be made to pay all the compensation and may then claim a contribution from the others in proportion to their fault.4
Professional negligence
Professional negligence occurs when medical practitioners or other health professionals negligently fail to exercise the degree of skill and care of a reasonably skilled practitioner in their field of practice. Greater skill and care is expected by specialists5 and in more complicated medical procedures.6 Therefore, general practitioners would be negligent if they undertook work for which they did not have the required specialist skills, unless it was an emergency when the standard of care may be relaxed.7 In emergencies, the test will be whether the practitioner reacted as a reasonable practitioner in that branch of the profession would have reacted in a similar situation. This only applies if the emergency was not created by the practitioner concerned.8
Working in a resource-starved environment
In a resource-starved health care environment, the ethical rules of the health care professions should not be compromised - except in emergencies.9 The Constitution provides that everyone has the right of access to health care services within available resources,10 every child has the right to basic health care,11 and nobody may be refused emergency medical treatment.12
Where health administrators reduce health services to bring them within available resources, they must demonstrate a rational connection between the aims and the means to achieve it. These should be made in consultation with the medical and health care professionals concerned and not simply be imposed by non-medical administrators.11 If reduced services affect a constitutional right (e.g. the rights to life, dignity or security of the person13 ), health authorities must show that their decision was reasonable and justifiable.14 However, health administrators and clinicians may not justify their conduct on reduced resources when they have intentionally or negligently wrongfully caused this.
Where a hospital has limited resources to repair or replace equipment or medical items, hospital administrators may have to set up alternative referral systems and restrict patient intake. Except in emergencies, health care administrators would be negligent to allow patients to be accepted for procedures that cannot be properly done at the facility concerned. Hospital administrators may allocate resources within a facility but must do so in consultation with the clinicians.11 Failing to do so may be regarded as intentional or negligent wrongful conduct if reducing resources causes harm to patients.
The courts take into account the financial resources of the hospital when judging the standard of care required of medical and health care personnel, e.g. if there are 5 neonates to 1 nurse in a paediatric intensive care unit when there should be 1 neonate to 1 nurse, the court will judge the conduct of the nurses against the former ratio.8 The courts are reluctant to interfere with the allocation of resources to medical facilities by the state,14 but may consider individual cases and review the allocation of resources on clinical grounds.15
Vicarious liability
Vicarious liability refers to a person being liable for another's unlawful conduct even if there is no fault by the first person. Vicarious liability is mainly covered by the common law, especially in respect of employer-employee relationships. For employers to be vicariously liable for the wrongful conduct of their employees, it must be shown that there was an employer-employee relationship; the employees had committed an unlawful act or omission; and that the employees were acting in the course and scope of their employment - even if they did so improperly.16 The state is vicariously liable for the delictual acts or omissions of state employees,17 and it is in the same position as other employers. 18 For example, provincial members of the executive committees responsible for health, and the provincial departments of health, may be held vicariously liable for the wrongful acts of their employees committed within the course and scope of their employment even if they were disobeying instructions.
Hospitals and vicarious liability
Hospitals are vicariously liable for the unlawful acts of their employees who commit wrongful acts or omissions during the course and scope of their employment.19 Hospitals will be liable despite having warned their employees against using certain procedures, or when the employees' acts or omissions amount to intentional wrongdoing20 - provided that these fall within the course and scope of the employees' employment.
Although hospitals are liable for the acts and omissions of their health care practitioners, the courts have held that, where there is a shortage of resources, a standard of excellence cannot be expected which is beyond the financial resources of the hospital authority.9 However, should there be a shortage because of intentional or negligent wrongful conduct by the hospital administrators, patients would have a valid claim against them for any resulting harm. The state would be vicariously liable for such conduct by the administrators of state hospitals.
Even though the state or other authority is vicariously liable for the conduct of its medical and health care employees, the employees may be held personally liable.21 Therefore, employees may be personally sued or may be liable to reimburse their employers for damages paid out to patients, depending on their employment contract.
Who is liable in P's case?
We assume that a causal link can be established between the harm suffered by P and the acts or omissions of the parties concerned. It is possible that more than one could be held jointly and severally liable for her damages.
Is the provincial department of health liable?
For the provincial Department of Health to be held liable, P would have to show that either the administrative staff or the health care staff had acted unlawfully, intentionally or negligently in the course and scope of their employment. For example, in the case of the administrative staff, P would have to prove that they had wrongfully and intentionally or negligently squandered resources that should have been used for service delivery (such as providing sufficient transport, fixing the fetal monitors, appointing more midwives and replacing the lifts), and that this had harmed her. In respect of the health care professionals or support staff, she would have to show that some or all of them had intentionally or negligently contributed to the harm she suffered while they were acting in the course and scope of their employment. In both instances, although the Department may be held vicariously liable for the damages suffered by P, the departmental employees could also be held personally liable.
Is the hospital management liable?
If the hospital management were unable to rectify the long delays in inter-hospital transfers, shortage of labour ward staff, deficiencies in fetal monitoring and the malfunctioning lifts, because they had wrongfully and intentionally or negligently allowed their budget to become overdrawn through maladministration, they could be held personally liable for the harm suffered by P. The Department of Health could also be held vicariously liable for the intentional or negligent misconduct of the hospital management.
Are the ambulance drivers liable?
The ambulance drivers could be held liable if the delay in transferring P to the provincial hospital was due to their intention or negligence, e.g. an ambulance was available but the drivers took an extended lunch break. The Department of Health would then be vicariously liable for their conduct. The ambulance drivers could not be held liable if the delay was caused because Department of Health officials had wrongfully and intentionally or negligently failed to maintain sufficient operational vehicles within their available resources or had intentionally or negligently diverted funds meant for ambulance maintenance, in which case the Department would be directly liable for intentionally or negligently harming P.
Are the midwives liable?
The midwives could be held liable if they intentionally or negligently waited 45 minutes for a fetal monitor when a clinical examination would have indicated that P should have been immediately sent to theatre. Their conduct would be judged by how a reasonable midwife attending to more than 2 patients at a time would have acted in a similar situation. They would not be liable if a reasonable midwife would have waited for the fetal monitor reading before sending P to theatre. In such circumstances, if only 4 out of 12 fetal monitors were operational because of intentional or negligent omissions by the hospital managers, the latter would be directly liable to P. The Department of Health would be vicariously liable for harm caused to P by the intentional or negligent wrongful acts or omissions by the midwives and/or the hospital management.
Are the porters liable?
The porters would be liable if they knew that the lifts were not working and that it would take 40 minutes before a medical emergency patient could reach theatre, and reasonable porters in their position could have used the stairs. If, however, it was impossible to use the stairs, and the hospital management knew that the lifts were not working and that delays might harm patients, and the administrators had intentionally or negligently done nothing to replace them, the management would be directly liable to P for her harm. Again, the Department of Health would be vicariously liable for the intentional or negligent wrongful conduct of either the porters and/or the hospital administrators.
Are the obstetricians liable?
The obstetricians commenced operating on P 15 minutes after she was admitted to theatre and anaesthetised. If there were no intentional or negligent wrongful act or omission on their part in carrying out the operation, the obstetricians would not be liable to P. If the harm to P was caused because the emergency operation was intentionally or negligently delayed by the obstetricians, they could be held liable and the Department of Health would also be vicariously liable. The test would be whether the obstetricians concerned had acted in the way that reasonably competent obstetricians faced with a similar emergency situation would have acted.
Is the anaesthetist liable?
If 15 minutes was an unreasonable period of time for an anaesthetic to be administered in an emergency, the anaesthetist would be held liable. However, if a reasonably competent anaesthetist in a similar situation would have also taken 15 minutes, the anaesthetist would not be liable for intentionally or negligently harming P. If the anaesthetist were found to have engaged in intentional or negligent wrongful conduct, the Department of Health would be vicariously liable for the harm caused to P.

Many people in America are poor, due to no fault of their own—and their numbers are growing.
If you really know any poor people, you know that to be true. If you don't, the first sentence of this post runs against the grain of many cultural assumptions in America that tend to blame people for being poor.
On the eve of the first Presidential debate, Sojourners premiered The Line — a film about the new faces of poverty in America. In this powerful documentary from award-winning filmmaker Linda Midgett, those popular judgmental assumptions against poor people clearly and convincingly are debunked.
The Line, which I am asking everyone who reads this column to watch, deftly dismantles many stereotypes about poverty and shows why a growing number of Americans find themselves falling into it. The film does so by telling the personal stories of people who have fallen beneath "the line."
My 14-year-old son Luke, watched the story of John: a banker who once made a six-figure salary, but who now finds himself a substitute teacher making $12,000 a year while trying to raise his three kids. John painfully talked about what it feels like to have to go to a food bank because he has no other viable choice.
His story caused Luke to ask his mom after the film, "John said he got straight A's in school, so could that happen to me?"
My nine year old, Jack, was most impressed with James: a fellow who lost a blue-collar job after 23 years, and now — in his 50s — was working hard to be a successful busboy.
My Mississippi-born friend Burns Strider said he identified most with Ronnie — a self-employed fisherman in coastal Louisiana whose family has been in the shrimping business for generations — who faces an uncertain future now that the shrimp have disappeared in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil spill that have devastated the ecosystem and the economy.
And many in the hundreds-strong crowd that packed the Washington, D.C., theater where The Line premiered earlier this week were drawn to Sheila — a mother of three who, after lifting herself out of poverty and a poor, violent neighborhood in Chicago, tripped and fell down the steps of an "L" train stop and has fought against disabilities and health care costs ever since.
Sheila attended the D.C. premiere and was a part of the panel discussion that followed the screening, along with the director, Linda Midgett, Adam Taylor of World Vision, and me.
What also was true of each of the people profiled in the film is that falling into poverty made them feel alone. The line that most struck me was from Ronnie who, when speaking about himself and his wife, said, "We have no confidence in the future … and we worry about our kids."
After the presidential debate last night, I doubt if the growing numbers of poor people in America feel less alone.
The political discussion today is only about who won the debate. But millions of people who are struggling financially (and otherwise) in America are not likely to feel that they did.
Presidential candidates could make it clear to those who are experiencing very hard times that they will not be left alone. But that didn't come across last night in the first presidential debate focused on domestic policy.
The competing narratives between Obama and Romney about tax policies, health care, the role of government, their focus on the middle class, and their differing arguments for economic growth now are being polled and debated as pundits and wonks try to determine which candidate had the best performance and how it might affect the electoral numbers.
But one thing is certain about last night: there was no clarifying discussion about what the policies Obama and Romney debated will mean for the Americans who are struggling the most.
After watching The Line, what so many of us felt was a desire to reach out to the people who, with great candor and courage, swallowed their pride (and their privacy) and told their stories, revealing how hard their lives have become.
Conservative, liberal, neither, or both — I believe many Americans would want to reach out to the people whose stories were told in The Line.
Clearly, it is the mission of the church to tell and to show the millions of people who have fallen below the poverty line that they are not alone. Jesus clearly says in the Matthew 25 that how we treat them is how we treat him.
I think we also want to live in a society that makes sure that people who are struggling with poverty are not left alone. That is the responsibility of all of us, and it is also part of the role of government.
The presidential candidates could make those who are hurting the most feel like they are not alone anymore. But that didn't happen last night.
Journalists tell us at Sojourners that poverty is not a "sexy" issue in America — especially not at election time. Some told us that again on the day The Line premiered.
We had hoped for perhaps 100 screenings of The Line around the country. By the time the film began rolling Tuesday night, we had nearly 1,700 screenings of the film scheduled across the country and around the globe — including nearly every state and continent, even as far away as Japan, New Zealand, and Australia.
The tremendous response we are getting to this extraordinary film tells me that while the issue poverty in America may not be a top issue for our journalists and our politicians, it most assuredly is for a growing number of people of all faith traditions and none, across denominational, political, and cultural lines.
The stories in The Line explain why.
See the film, share it, talk about it, and help make this poverty — a fundamental moral issue that respects the health (and wealth) of the soul of our nation — a priority during this election season and beyond.

As noted Monday, there was slightly more violence than usual last Tuesday, Jan. 8. Berkeleyside said we would follow up with police for more detail about what happened.
Battery, Haste Street and Telegraph Avenue
At about 4:10 p.m., Berkeley police officers came across a large crowd that had gathered. Several pedestrians told police that there was a fight. As the officer approached, she saw the involved parties being separated. She was told the fight started when the victim got out of his vehicle and was attacked. The attacker "pushed the victim to the ground and started hitting him." The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries. Police arrested the attacker at the scene on suspicion of several violations, including battery and public intoxication.
Felony Assault, Ohlone Park
Two men got into a fight in Ohlone Park, 1701 Hearst Ave., at about 6:45 p.m. after an incident during a basketball game. Police said Clarence Bailey, 44, of San Pablo picked up a rock and punched a 57-year-old Berkeley man in the face with it. Police arrested Bailey and the other man declined medical attention after receiving non-life-threatening injuries.
Felony Battery, 1700 block of Derby Street
At about 10 p.m., police responded to a domestic disturbance on Derby Street. According to police, a brother punched his sister and knocked her unconscious after getting into a fight about "family issues." Police said the brother fled. A family member called police to report the incident and took the sister to the hospital for care. She suffered serious non-life threatening injuries as a result of the incident. Police were unable to find the brother.
Overall, from Jan. 5-11, there were eight calls for service involving assault or battery, not including domestic violence calls.

Prospect of Geithner at Treasury buoys markets. Will it last?
An auto bailout, a second stimulus package, and foreclosure help are on hold as Washington awaits the new administration.
| Washington
At a time when the US economy is as fragile as it has been in a generation, Washington may have entered a hazardous interregnum, as the Bush administration's ability to drive policy quickly ebbs while real power for Barack Obama remains months away.
In a move to calm the volatile stock markets, the president-elect is expected to announce his economic team on Monday. Mr. Obama's pick for Treasury secretary – apparently Timothy Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, according to news reports – will play a key role in directing federal efforts to rescue the economy.
US markets surged on the news that Mr. Geithner would be tapped, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 6.5 percent to close at 8046.42 on Friday.
The move, however reassuring to Wall Street in the short term, does little to change the lack of forward movement in Washington.
It's now all but certain there won't be any new government stimulus package until after Inauguration Day, for instance. A bailout for the auto companies? Maybe. And Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson says he's going to sit on the remaining half of the $700 billion financial rescue package, saving it for the incoming Obama administration.
Meanwhile, stocks have plunged since Election Day, notwithstanding Friday's rebound. Unemployment forecasts are up. Wall Street is wringing its hands – and looking to the nation's capital.
On Friday, for instance, Goldman Sachs lowered its prediction for economic growth in the current quarter from a 3.5 percent contraction of gross domestic product to a 5 percent decline.
"Although persistent downside surprises are a major driver of the current-quarter adjustment, the main reason for the downgrade to our forecast is the policy impasse that has developed in Washington and the tightening in financial conditions it has provoked," wrote Goldman economists in their Friday "GS Skinny."
As evidence of the capital's curious state, which combines frenetic movement with lack of forward progress, look at what happened this week with the auto-industry bailout. Or what didn't happen, rather, as the effort collapsed amidst Democratic infighting.
One proposal, backed by auto state Democrats, some congressional Republicans, and the Bush administration, called for auto firms to get cash via eased restrictions on an already-passed $25 billion program meant to fund fuel-efficient cars.
But the Democratic leadership wants to save that money for green purposes. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pushed instead for a Big Three bailout from other funds – perhaps the Treasury's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Now Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid have told the Big Three to come back to Congress in early December with more specifics about how they might spend taxpayer money. But Detroit burned through $18 billion in cash last quarter, and GM and Chrysler have warned that they could collapse within weeks.
For its part, the White House sharply criticized the Democrats for letting the issue linger while they go home for Thanksgiving on congressional recess.
"It is appalling that Congress decided to leave town without addressing a problem that they themselves said needed to be addressed," White House press secretary Dana Perino said on Friday.
At a House hearing on Nov. 18, Secretary Paulson was pummeled by Democrats for resisting efforts to use TARP funds for the auto companies or for a broad mortgage-guarantee program.
But Paulson clearly does not see TARP as everyone's pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is, he said, all about the banks – or the nation's financial system, more generally.
"I've answered this a couple of times. I'll answer it again. And I think it is very, very important to stay with the purpose of the TARP, because this is all about protecting the financial system, avoiding collapse, and recovery," said Paulson.
Washington will eventually approve some sort of financial stimulus. The probability is growing that the package will exceed $200 billion, note Goldman Sachs economists.
But the timing and magnitude of that remain unclear – beyond the fact that it will probably wait until after Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration.
As for a stimulus helping the economy, "at the moment, any significant impact seems unlikely until [the second quarter of 2009] at the earliest," Goldman concludes.

US Army LT sentenced to 20 years; charged with murder for protecting his men from Taliban
US Army LT sentenced to 20 years; charged with murder for protecting his men from Taliban
Why this petition matters
Clint Lorance is a loving, caring, hardworking, determined, friendly, positive person who has dedicated his life to the Army. He was an enlisted soldier who was the first in his family to graduate college, which he did while serving in the Army before becoming an officer. Clint is from Oklahoma and spent time in Texas, where his family lives now. First Lieutenant Clint Lorance has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for murder because of an unfortunate incident while Clint was deployed to a volatile area of Afghanistan in July 2012, Panzai, in Kandahar province. Only 96 hours after he took charge of his platoon, who had already been in the area for 7 months, Clint gave a difficult order under pressure in order to stay true to the only promise he made to his men - that he would not lose one of them. This was a bold promise since the platoon had suffered four casualties already, including the previous platoon leader who Clint was brought in to replace. Three Afghans came speeding toward Clint's platoon and their Afghan National Army counterparts on a known enemy route where they had been attacked just days before. Clint gave the order, responding to his soldier's verbal warning, to his men to engage the threat, and two of the men on the motorcycle were killed and the third escaped.
American Servicemembers volunteer to put themselves in harms way, sometimes for multiple deployments. When an accidental civilian death occurs as a result of the asymmetric nature of modern warfare, the US Government looks for someone to hold accountable. This is when US Servicemembers are offered as a sacrifice to host nation governments. There must be something done to prevent this in the future.
9/11 showed us what happens to our country when we don't go on the offense. It is imperitive that the United States have a strong and capable military. We can't have that strong military without strong leaders within the military who are willing to do what it takes to protect their men.
The US is a laughing stock to many countries in the war zone. When Taliban shoot at US Troops, the US Troops in many situations will not shoot back for fear of getting in trouble.
Is this the kind of reputation we want for our military on the world stage? Do we want Soldiers who are too scared of legal ramifications that they will simply let the Taliban run away.
This is apalling. To the millions of US Servicemembers who have been maimed and killed to defend our great nation, and to the millions to come who will voluntarily deploy to protect American lives, we owe them more than this. We owe them not just our support but we owe them the assurance that America does not turn its back on its Soldiers.
Make no mistake about it folks, the United States Government has sacrificed young 1LT Clint Lorance to appease the Afghan Government.
Please sign and share.

BOSTON — Two power-play goals and stingy penalty killing ended the Boston Bruins' offensive drought and tied their playoff series.
Reilly Smith and Zdeno Chara scored with a man advantage, the Detroit Red Wings got just one shot on goal on their four power plays and Boston won 4-1 in Game 2 on Sunday.
"We don't get too many power plays so it was good to be able to get them and be able to capitalize early," Smith said.
He scored his first career playoff goal 10:35 into the game, just over three minutes after Justin Florek's fluke goal gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead on their first shot at 7:28.
They finished the first period with 18 shots on goalie Jimmy Howard after managing just 25 in losing Friday night's opener 1-0.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven series between the top-seeded Bruins, who won the Presidents' Cup with an NHL-high 117 points, and the eighth-seeded Red Wings is set for Detroit on Tuesday night.
"You never want to lose Game 1," said Florek, a rookie who had just one goal in four regular-season games. "I think we played with a little chip on our shoulder."
Luke Glendening cut the lead to 2-1 at 13:20 of the second period before Milan Lucic scored late in the second and Chara added his power-play goal early in the third.
Boston's power play was much improved this season, finishing third in the NHL at 21.7 percent. And Smith scored just 20 seconds after Boston's two-man advantage ended.
"Getting pucks to the net was obviously a big factor, especially (after) last game not scoring a goal," he said. "We're not getting too many pucks to the net at the start and you have a five-on-three and you're able to fire as many as you want. So that definitely changed the pace of the game and we benefited off of it."
When the Red Wings had the extra skater, they never threatened.
"It seems like we got hesitant and we weren't as assertive as we normally are," Detroit forward Daniel Alfredsson said. "That's been one of our strong suits … setting up in the other team's end."
It wasn't just Detroit's special teams that struggled.
"I thought we were ineffective, period," Red Wings Coach Mike Babcock said. "They were engaged. They won the battles. They were quick. We were slow."
Florek, filling in for the injured Chris Kelly on the third line, scored after Howard and defenseman Brendan Smith, Reilly's brother, missed connecting on a pass.
Howard came out of his crease to collect a loose puck and passed it toward Smith, who was skating back along the right boards. But the puck bounced off Smith's right calf and into the circle where Florek shot quickly before Howard could get back.
"It's a bad break," Howard said. "It got them rolling a little bit."
It was Florek's first career playoff goal. He also did a good job killing penalties, one of Kelly's strengths.
Smith made it 2-0 after Howard stopped Patrice Bergeron's shot from the blue line with several Bruins in front of him. Loui Eriksson poked the puck between Howard's legs. Smith then skated behind Howard and tapped it in.
Glendening positioned himself in the right spot, just in front of Boston goalie Tuukka Rask to score his first career playoff goal.
Darren Helm's shot from the top of the right circle hit Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk's stick just in front of the crease. The puck went up, hit Glendening in the chest and got past Rask.
The Bruins' top line, which had struggled, restored the momentum about five minutes later.
Lucic carried the puck into the middle of the offensive zone as Jarome Iginla cut behind him. Lucic dropped the puck for Iginla and continued toward the net where he received a return pass across the slot from Iginla. Lucic's hard shot from five feet hit Howard's stick and trickled over the goal line at 18:16.
Lucic was fined $5,000 but not suspended Saturday for spearing Detroit defenseman Danny DeKeyser during the opener.
Chara finished the scoring at 2:27 of the third period just 17 seconds after Kyle Quincey was penalized. Iginla passed the puck from low in the right circle and the 6-foot-9 Chara, standing to the left of Howard, knocked it in.
At the end of the first period, Chara and Brendan Smith, 7 inches shorter, stared each other down but didn't fight.
Chara "wouldn't be the first guy I'd choose to go against," Reilly Smith said of his brother. "So maybe he'll probably think twice next time."
NOTES: Boston's David Krejci appeared to score an empty-net goal with 2:10 left, but Lucic was ruled offside. … Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller returned to the lineup after missing the opener with an undisclosed issue. … Pavel Datsyuk, who scored the only goal in the opener, had one shot on goal, none in the first two periods. … Three Bruins regulars missed their second consecutive game, Kelly with a back problem, left wing Daniel Paille with a head injury and defenseman Matt Bartkowski with the flu.

The LT-42DV1BJ is a daringly styled, ultra-thin LCD TV that's filled to bursting with features. Put your hands together for JVC's latest top-tier 1080p flatscreen.
The five stars is more in recognition of JVC's spirit of optimistic innovation and cram-it-all-in philosophy than of the success of some of the various bells and whistles. The most pertinent piece of spec is, of course, the full HD panel, although it's no longer cause for undue amazement.
The panel electronics are where great sets are made and this one boasts the latest version of JVC's DynaPix HD suite. Earlier incarnations of this image 'engine' have been perfectly competent, while presenting no threat to Panasonic's V-real or Philips' Perfect Pixel systems at the top of the pecking order.
JVC has thrown in a staggeringly high claimed dynamic contrast ratio (a million to one), setting up high expectations for the black levels.
Three HDMIs looks rather miserly, meanwhile, and the company has done away with lesser ports such as S-video and composite video entirely.
At the more frivolous end of the spectrum, the set is controlled via a fingerprint-attracting touchscreen that's mildly diverting, but the real news here is a handclap control function. Clapping three times turns the screen on or off, while twice operates the mute setting, which should delight anyone building the futuristic home of Tomorrow's World in the late 1970s.
It doesn't seem to work every time and quite why clapping your hands to mute or turn off the telly was deemed any more convenient than, say, pressing a button on a remote control is beyond us. We suspect that most people will give it a go for the hell of it, show their mates once for a laugh and then turn it off for good.
NOT DEAD YET: The JVC LT-42DV1BJ's remote control is not exactly rendered obsolete by the hand-clapping system
The JVC also sports an 'eco' power-saving mode for those bothered by environmental issues, but not sufficiently so as to entirely forego buying themselves a giant flatscreen in the first place.
Ease of use
The JVC certainly looks the part, with a snazzy sliver of a remote control and a pleasantly rendered graphical user interface, but this is just a thin veneer on a slightly cack-handed system.
The installation sequence takes an age, changing between channels is frustratingly sluggish and the menus are not quite as cleverly designed as they think they are.
Video performance is decent, though hardly spectacular. Freeview, as we've come to expect, is fairly hideous, with poor edge discipline and clumsy gradation leading to wobbly outlines and mottled, blotchy complexions all round.
Provided you don't expect any miracles and sit a sensible distance away from the set, you won't have too many problems, though. Playing DVDs shows off the TVs talents to a degree; at least it gives all those pixels something to work with and pays off handsomely in the detail department, while colours take on a much more natural, evenly blended aspect.
High-definition broadcasting looks good, but isn't quite the step-up from DVD you might have hoped for, with a degree of digital noise still discernible now and again and a slight softness that occasionally looks more like astutely-scaled standard-definition rather than eyeball-boggling 1080p.
SLIMLINE FRAME: The JVC LT-42DV1BJ may be thin, but it packs in the pixels
Motion is pretty juddery, with natural movement marred by visible stepping, but it's not significantly worse than average on LCD.
The main failing is a disappointingly feeble way with blacks. Quite how the company arrived at that whopping contrast ratio figure is a mystery because, while peak whites are pretty scorching (sometimes overly so), blacks rarely delve deeper than darkest grey.
There is also very little in the way of gradation between varying shades, as witnessed by Harry Potter's wait for the Knight Bus in the Prisoner of Azkaban, in which a large amount of detail (particularly around the slavering dog-thing in the hedge) is lost to the general murk.
Still, the backlight is at least consistently distributed, thereby avoiding the distracting pooling effect that has plagued some other LCD sets we've seen recently.
Audio performance is reasonably faithful, but cranking it more than halfway up the slider tends to result in a bit of a shouty din. It's fine with television broadcasts, but soon finds its limit with more complicated movie soundtracks, proving unable to replicate adequately any real sense of depth.
The price isn't bad, but we can't help feeling that the same set, without those daft features and sold cheaper, might have been a rather more tempting proposition.
