They can read the george will review of Tom Edsall's latest book at http://www.townhall.com/columnists/georgewill the Sept 17 column on building Red America.
Will wrote:Edsall notes that one-third of American children -- and almost 70 percent of African-American children -- are born to unmarried mothers. Then, in an astonishing passage about this phenomenon, which is the cause of most social pathologies, from crime to schools that cannot teach, he explains how Americans differ concerning what he calls ``freedom from the need to maintain the marital or procreative bond.''
``To social conservatives,'' he writes, ``these developments have signaled an irretrievable and tragic loss. Their reaction has fueled, on the right, a powerful traditionalist movement and a groundswell of support for the Republican Party. To modernists, these developments constitute, at worst, the unfortunate costs of progress, and, at best -- and this is very much the view on the political left as well as of Democratic Party loyalists -- they constitute a triumph over unconscionable obstacles to the liberation and self-realization of much of the human race.''
Looking for the real reason for the rise of ``Red America''? Read that paragraph again.

I cannot resolve the gay matter at Berry, but I can come down with Willimon's Christian Century article of a couple years ago when he deplored the Surfeit of Sexual politics, meaning he was tired of it.
The conflation of Sexual politics with civil rights in my view has driven a false dilemma in the culture wars.

As BDW has pointed out, that was me. In an attempt to lure conservatives in Missouri CBF there was attempting to claim that there we no liberals in the CBF and that there never had been (despite folks like Jeanette Holt and Paul Duke serving on the Coordinating Council in the early days). A lot of folks vilified Roger for simply saying "the left wing of the CBF is more liberal than most baptist churches in Missouri will be comfortable with."
As you know, I've never liked or approved of the baptist double-speak whereby many baptist pastors and scholars say one thing in private and another in public to avoid offending conservatives. It strikes me as, at best, disingenuous and at worst a betrayal of the call of the gospel. Consequently, I wrote Roger a short note saying that I didn't see anything inaccurate in his carefully worded and researched points, and that I thought he was being misrepresented. I explained that I don't like it when conserrvatives do that, and I don't like it when "moderates" do that. We became friends (and remain so, he called to congratulate me on our new house when we moved and to offer to fund some Republican yard signs for us ), and I eventually offered to give him a "public" letter that he could reproduce.
Who thinks the baptist political landscape would be very different if everyone would just honestly say what they believe.

The University of Washington
Founded in 1861, the University of Washington has 46,000 students (31,500 undergraduate and 14,500 graduate/professional) and 4,350 instructional faculty divided into 16 schools and colleges. The University's annual operating budget is roughly $7 billion (inclusive of the UW Medicine health care system), roughly 5% of which comes from the State.
Computer Science & Engineering at UW
Computer Science & Engineering was established at the University of Washington as an inter-college graduate program in 1967. In 1975 an undergraduate program in Computer Science was added and departmental status was conferred. A second undergraduate program, in Computer Engineering, was added in 1989 when CSE moved to the College of Engineering, and a Professional Master's Program was added in 1996, and a combined Bachelors/Masters program in 2008. In 2017 - our 50th anniversary year - the University of Washington Board of Regents voted to create the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, elevating the status of CSE within the university and linking us in perpetuity with the internationally renowned investor, philanthropist and computing pioneer. CSE currently has roughly 70 faculty, 70 technical and administrative staff members, 400 graduate students (250 in the full-time program and 150 in the Professional Masters Program), and 1,200 undergraduate students (growing to award more than 450 Bachelors degrees per year).
CSE is widely regarded as among the top ten programs in the nation. Thirty-nine current CSE faculty members have won Presidential/NSF Young Investigator Awards or NSF CAREER Awards. Six faculty members are ONR Young Investigator Award recipients. Five (plus five former faculty) have held NSF Presidential Faculty Fellow or Presidential Early Career (PECASE) Awards. Twenty five have held Sloan Research Fellowships. Among current and emeritus senior faculty are nine Fulbright recipients, three Guggenheim recipients, twenty Fellows of the ACM, fourteen Fellows of the IEEE, two Fellows of the International Association for Pattern Recognition, five Fellows of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, three Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, four Fellows of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, three recipients of ACM or IEEE Field Awards, three MacArthur Fellows, four (plus one Adjunct) Allen Distinguished Investigators, and four (plus ten Adjunct/Affiliate) Members of the National Academies.
Within the University, five faculty members have received the University of Washington Distinguished Teaching Award, two have received the University of Washington Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award, two have received the University of Washington Outstanding Public Service Award, one has received the David B. Thorud Leadership Award, one was named the University of Washington Annual Faculty Lecturer, and three have received the College of Engineering Faculty Achievement Award.
In 1999, CSE received the inaugural UW Brotman Award for Instructional Excellence -- in essence a departmental distinguished teaching award (see our "Reflective Statement" here). In 2000, David Notkin received the UW Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award. Thirteen CSE faculty members hold endowed positions.
We strive to maintain a highly effective graduate program, two strong undergraduate programs, and an "open" culture with minimal partitioning either vertically (between faculty ranks or between faculty and students) or horizontally (between research areas).
A Research Overview
We are active in most of the principal areas of computer science and computer engineering. Particular strengths include:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Computational & Synthetic Biology
- Computer Architecture
- Computer Graphics, Vision, Animation, & Game Science
- Computer Systems & Networking
- Computing for Development
- Data Science, Data Management & Visualization
- Human Computer Interaction & Accessible Technology
- Machine Learning
- Natural Language Processing
- Programming Languages & Software Engineering
- Robotics
- Security & Privacy
- Systems and Networking
- Theory of Computation
- Ubiquitous Computing
- Wireless & Sensor Systems
The Graduate Program
The department has roughly 250 students in the full-time graduate program. We typically award twenty five Ph.D. degrees and fifty Masters degrees each year.
We are able to offer admission to roughly 7.5% of those who apply to our graduate program.
Our recent Ph.D. graduates have received offers from essentially every top academic program and industrial research laboratory, and dozens of our recent graduates populate these strong programs.
In addition, we offer an "accessible" Professional Masters Program (involving a mix of distance learning and evening courses) designed for fully-employed professionals in the region's burgeoning information technology industry. This program enrolls roughly 150 students from more than two dozen leading regional firms, and grants an additional 45 Masters degrees per year.
There is an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Computational Molecular Biology involving several departments in the biological and mathematical sciences, including Computer Science & Engineering.
The Undergraduate Program
CSE offers two Bachelors degrees: a Computer Science degree offered through the College of Arts & Sciences, and a Computer Engineering degree offered through the College of Engineering. Together, these programs are growing to award 450+ degrees annually. Why do UW's best students choose CSE? Watch these videos!
We additionally participate in the Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences program with our colleagues from Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, and Statistics. As well, our intensive two-quarter introductory course sequence, CSE 142 / CSE 143, enrolls more than 3500 students annually from across the campus.
Because the demand for our undergraduate major programs exceeds the capacity, students are admitted on a competitive basis upon completion of prerequisite courses. Our undergraduates are wonderfully strong, classes are small, and interaction with the faculty is high. Undergraduate participation in research is common. Intensive "capstone design courses" are a hallmark of our undergraduate major programs; several recent offerings are highlighted in these videos.
UW CSE is among the top suppliers of students in the nation to leading high-tech firms such as Microsoft, Amazon.com, and Google. We are the leading supplier to many regional firms.
UW CSE students have received the Rhodes Scholarship, Goldwater Scholarship, Marshall Scholarship, Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and Google Anita Borg Scholarship.
Within the University of Washington, our students have dominated the University Medals and Dean's Medals. Since 2000, fully 1/3 of the annual high scholarship medals awarded by the University have gone to CSE majors - our "fair share" is 2%. In the past decade, 10 winners of the annual Dean's Medals awarded to the top graduates in Arts & Science and in Engineering have gone to CSE majors.
In the past decade, 33 of our students have been recognized in the Computing Research Association Undergraduate Research Award competition -- the most of any program in the nation.
Because Washington State has a vibrant computing industry, roughly 90% of our graduates remain in-state. In the course of their education, the vast majority of our undergraduates participate in co-ops or internships, which we feel enhance the effectiveness of an undergraduate engineering education.
The Puget Sound Region
The Puget Sound region is increasingly prominent as a national and international technology center.
Key strengths of the University of Washington include medicine, biotechnology, the physical sciences, the marine and environmental sciences, and computing and allied areas of science and engineering.
Adjacent to the University of Washington are a number of major R&D facilities with which we have close ties, such as Microsoft Research, Google Seattle and Google Kirkland, Amazon.com, Adobe Advanced Technology Labs, Lee Hood's Institute for Systems Biology, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Strong collaborations exist among these groups, with CSE playing a major role in the University and the region. Our annual Affiliates Meeting is a forum for interaction among 75 leadership companies from the region and the nation. Our professional Masters degree program and our colloquium series (broadcast on UWTV and live on the Internet) play significant roles in keeping the region's leading-edge workforce current. Working with UW Educational Outreach, we offer more than a dozen "Extension Certificate Programs" that generated roughly 5,000 course enrollments during the most recent year.
We are actively involved with regional leadership organizations such as the Washington Technology Industry Association and the Technology Alliance.
Seattle, consistently acclaimed as one of the most livable cities in the nation, is a terrific place to be. Seattle is a cosmopolitan city situated in the midst of the beauty and diversity of the Pacific Northwest. The University of Washington is located on Lake Washington, a few miles east of Puget Sound. The Cascade Mountains are one hour to the east; the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic Mountains are two hours to the west.
The Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering
In Autumn 2003, UW CSE moved to the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering. The Allen Center is a true public/private partnership, funded by the State of Washington, the University of Washington, and more than 250 friends and alumni. The six-story (plus basement) building increases CSE's total space by a factor of 2.5, and our laboratory space by a factor of 3; it affords sweeping views of Lake Washington, the Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, and the Space Needle.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Special Course Fees are defined as charges in addition to the regular instructional fee (tuition) and segregated fees. These fees are assessed to all students enrolled in a course with an approved Special Course Fee. Special Course Fees must be used solely for support of the course involved. Difficulty in securing adequate regular budget support shall not be the determining factor in the decision to charge a Special Course Fee. Special Course Fees can only be used to cover cost of special fees related to a course. Special Course Fees cannot be used for expenditures that are unrelated to the original Special Course Fee request (i.e., capital purchases, faculty travel to workshops, etc.).
When filling out the Request for Approval of Special Course Fee Form, be sure to complete the "Reason for Special Course Fee" section. The justification needs to be specific and fit within the guidelines of UW System Policy 825 Special Course Fees. Please refer to this policy paper for detailed information and clarification. For example, class handouts is not adequate, specify what the handouts will be; studio supplies is not adequate, specify type of supplies. Explain why there is a charge. If all students in the class will not be paying the special course fee, contact the Student Billing office prior to submitting the Request for Approval of Special Course Fee Form.
All Special Course Fees for GPR courses for a particular term/session must be approved prior to the beginning of registration for that term/session. In order to allow processing time, the following deadline dates have been set and need to be adhered to:
Fall - March 1
J-Term - October 1
Spring - October 1
Summer - February 1
If the approval for a Special Course Fee is not received by the above deadline date, the department will have to wait until the next term to charge the Special Course Fee.
All Outreach/Extension courses must be approved by the academic dean (Outreach Course Addition Form and/or Course/Instructor Appointment Form) before the course is put on the web and open for enrollment, but can be approved at any time during the term. At the same time as the course is entered on the web, but before it is opened for enrollment, the Special Course Fee Form must be completed and forwarded to the Office of the Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance.
1. A Request for Approval of Special Course Fee Form must be completed for each special course fee. There should only be one Special Course Fee per course. Separate forms must be completed for GPR and Outreach/Extension courses at this time.
2. If there is ANY change from the original request, a new request must be processed (i.e., amount of fee, section #, term, component, etc.). If changes are made to the course set up in eSIS and a new form is not submitted, the Special Course Fee will not be assessed to the students. Special course fees will be rolled from Spring to Fall to Spring, etc. until a change is processed or the three-year renewal period expires. Summer and J-Term special course fees do not roll over automatically. A form is required EACH Summer and J-Term session that the fee should be charged.
3. Enter "All" in the section field if all sections of a course should be assessed the Special Course Fee. If the fee is NOT for all sections of a course, please indicate the section numbers on form (i.e., 1 & 2 - 4, 5, 6 & 7, etc.). The section number is important because the Special Course Fee Table will be rolled over automatically for future terms (unless otherwise indicated); therefore, once a Special Course Fee is approved, it will continue to be charged to all sections or the section(s) specified until a request for a change has been processed with renewals being required every three years. However, if a future term course has a different section number than on the original request, the Special Course Fee will not be charged to the students.
4. The completed Request for Approval of Special Course Fee Form should be forwarded to your Department Chair/Unit Head.
a. Department Chair/Unit Head denies the request and returns the request to the person submitting the request, or
b. Department Chair/Unit Head approves the request and forwards it to the Dean.
5. Dean receives the approved Request for Approval Special Course Fee Form.
a. Dean denies the request and returns the request to the Department Chair/Unit Head, or
b. Dean approves the request and forwards it to the Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance.
6. Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance receives the approved Request for Approval of Special Course Fee Form.
a. Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance denies the request and returns the request to the Dean, or
b. Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance approves the request, and
1. Sends the original to the Student Billing Office for processing, who in turn will code request, update eSIS system, send information to the Registrar's Office, and send a copy of the completed form(s) back to Assistant Chancellor's Office. The Registrar's Office will update the class notes with the fee amount.
2. Sends a copy back to the Dean, who has the responsibility of notifying or making copies for anyone in the department/area that is deemed appropriate.
3. Assistant Chancellor's Office will retain a copy. Upon receipt of completed form(s) from the Student Billing Office, Assistant Chancellor's Office will update Excel spreadsheet and keep file of all Special Course Fees.
4. Assistant Chancellor's Office will work with Dean's Offices on renewing Special Course Fees every three years as decided by the Leadership Council.
7. Refunds: A 100% refund will be issued for Special Course Fees to students who withdraw or drop a course within the first two (2) weeks of a ten-week or longer course and during the first week of a course lasting nine or fewer weeks. After that time, no refund will be issued. The student may appeal to the course instructor and obtain a written note from the instructor granting an exception to the above refund policy. This note should be sent to the Student Billing Office for processing.
8. All Education Abroad Fees must be coordinated and approved by the Director of Global Connections, who will sign off instead of the Department Chair. This form is then forwarded to the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs for academic approval so advertising can be done for the tour. Once the tour (course) has been entered on eSIS, it is forwarded to the Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance for signature/processing.
Complete appropriate form on your screen. Then save and print.
All Special Course Fees for GPR courses for a particular term/session must be approved prior to the beginning of registration for that term/session.

You have to love El Corte Inglés. Well, if you're a beer lover and you're in Spain you do, because as a ready source of commonplace quality beers, and the occasional oddity, it's hard to beat.
Where I found it most interesting on my recent trip to Madrid was the German selection. There was a range from Hofmark and Schwaben Bräu, neither of which I'd ever heard of, and all of which were standard German styles. But look: swingtops!
Hofmark's trademark is a supreme sort of tooth-rotting sweetness that overwhelmed all of their beers. Hofmark Original Hell, for instance, is a dark amber gold with a nose redolent of honeycomb ice cream and a taste packed with butterscotch. This is accentuated by a thick and sticky body. Definitely not a beer for everyone, but with my sweet tooth I quite liked it. There's more of a candy nose from Hofmark Original Weisse and none of the banana or clove flavours one might expect. Instead there's a sort of brown sugar light caramel flavour and, after a while, the slightest trace of hop spice at the back. Another tooth-rotter and one to horrify weissbier purists. Hofmark Dunkel Weisse is appropriately dark but with a surprisingly short-lived head. This is far more typical of the style, with big ripe bananas balanced against some very tasty dry and crunchy alt-like malt flavours.
Schwaben Bräu take an authoritative approach to their beers, labelling each according to its style with just the definite article appended to the front. So it's not just any old helle, it's Das Helle. This is pale gold with a touch of honey about the nose, but otherwise quite hop-driven, in that quite bitter but vaguely spicy way that German noble hops have. I liked this, though it's very different from the Hofmark which preceded it. Das Weizen is the first dullard of the bunch -- a promising clove nose is followed by nothing very much, other than a hint of yeasty spice. The body is full, and it's satisfyingly quaffable, but really quite a let-down in the flavour department. Das Schwarze isn't much better. The brown translucent shade of Coca-Cola, it gives off a sour and gassy aroma and is dry but otherwise again quite tasteless, I thought.
A far better proposition came from Kaiserdom in the form of their Alt Bamberg Dunkel. This very very dark red lager has a gives off a pupil-dilating hit of coffee on the nose but calms down a little when it's time to taste. There's a kiss of sweet caramel to tempt you in, followed by a long, luxurious dry roasted flavour that lasts and lasts. I was well impressed with this and reckon it's one of those beers that could make it so much easier to survive in Germany where dark ales are thin on the ground. Barry?
A silly beer to finish, filed in Corte Inglés next to the other silly beers, like Desperados. Cannabia is a hemp beer, and I genuinely like hemp beers. I was very impressed by the couple I picked up in Switzerland at the beginning of the year. However, this one clearly isn't handmade by a Swiss craftsman. One clue is the scratch 'n' sniff label. Really. It appears, funnily enough, to be marketed at teenage stoners rather than drinkers who actively enjoy the flavour of hemp in beer. Appropriately, it smells skunked. The flavour does have that white-pepper-mixed-with-grapefruit-rind that I was looking for but, it's unpleasantly artificial, like they've injected a rubbishy lager with some nasty hemp extract, and then sprayed the label with it too. And I'm only guessing that it's German -- the company appears to be German, but no more accurate brewery address is given than "the EU". Even for hemp beer fans I wouldn't recommend this one -- it definitely deserves its place among the kiddie novelty beers.
Speaking of which, I really should try and get hold of that scary looking chilli lager that's just appeared here recently. I'm told it's awful.

From another thread:
This was a major revision, of course. All labs were completely rewritten, much of my course book was rewritten, and all lectures had to be revised. Much work, lots of just-in-time changes. The response from the students was very positive. They liked to know that they were taught modern CG, and the price in complexity was worth it (and it wasn't as bad as it seems since all transform code turns into straight math operations and you actually win some ground there, simplification). The students performed at least as well as before (I would say that the number of downright amazing student projects grew), and in the course evaluation, they liked my approach and I even got praise for my overdrive-speed-rewritten text book as one of the best they had had (despite all the glitches that have to follow a fast revision). So the move was quite successful so I think it was worth the work.
The question of support code, frameworks, add-ons, whatever you may call them, is more relevant than before. In the labs, we use quite a bit of in-house support code for managing shaders, loading textures and models and for math operations, and that package had to grow when moving to 3.2.
So if you teach OpenGL, have you moved to 3.2 or similar non-depricated OpenGL, and how was the move?

In an interview with MTV's Multiplayer Blog, Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Bethesda's Fallout 3, talked a bit about some of the lessons that the development team learned during the making of the game. While he didn't officially announce Fallout 4, Bethesda has dropped numerous hints that there will most likely be more Fallout games in its future, and Howard did mention a few things that he would have done differently if he could do it all over again.
"Greatest lesson? Don't let the game end, and don't have a level cap," he said, addressing complaints from players that, unlike the company's popular The Elder Scrolls games, Fallout 3 didn't allow them to keep playing after finishing the main quest. Thankfully, the latter issue will be addressed with the third piece of DLC that's being released for the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game, which will up the level cap to 30.
Only time will tell if we'll see a proper sequel to Fallout 3, but it's obvious that the folks at Bethesda are thinking long and hard about what they can do to build on their successes.

Fermob's Neon-Colored Aluminum Outdoor Furniture
If you live in New York and these chairs look familiar, there's a reason for that: Fermob's outdoor chairs can be found in Bryant Park, the High Line, and the sitting areas around Times Square. Their line of bright neon aluminum and steel furniture is designed by Federic Sofia and inspired by the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, and this year they walked away with an ICFF Editor Award for Best Multiple Production.
In addition to being made with fully recyclable and recycled materials, Fermob uses solvent-free powder coating and manufactures all their furniture in a zero-release facility, thereby ensuring the sprays don't become airborne.

Some Trolltech programmers are doing some optimization work in the x.org RENDER extension. RENDER has been used with COMPOSITE to make "transparency" and "shadow" effects, and its slowness has stopped it from being widely adopted. Hopefully, this optimization work will make things better, although it's not clear in the email if this addresses the "XAA sucks, someone needs to take KAA to x.org" problem which is often said to be the real problem of render slowness. RENDER is also often used to do more things, like AA fonts, so this will be good for X desktop in general.

JYJ's Kim Jae Joong became a man of many faces.
Kim Jae Joong has appeared as the strongest warrior in Joseon, Kim Kyung Tak, on MBC's Dr. Jin.
Although it was his first role in a traditional drama, he managed to receive favorable reviews by successfully going back and forth from a serious officer to a sad son born out of wedlock.
He especially gained himself the name of 'weekend boyfriend' by being serious and sharp everywhere else but being kind toward his fiancée Young Rae (Park Min Young).
He failed, however, to steal her heart.
When she continued to act as if she wasn't interested in Kyung Tak and showed feelings toward Jin Hyuk (Song Seung Hun), their love was destined to be doomed.
Kim Jae Joong again had to act out a man in an unrequited love, following the same pattern he did in his role for Protect the Boss.
At this netizens said, 'Why is he always the one not being loved back?', 'That probably won't happen in real life', 'Kim Jae Joong's love is sadder than the love scenes' and 'He's probably an expert in such roles now.'
In the drama Protect the Boss, which aired last year, Kim Jae Joong took on the role of Cha Mu Won, who loves Seo Na Yoon (Wang Ji Hye) and No Eun Sul (Choi Kang Hee) but doesn't receive any love in return.
Even in the Japan drama Hard to Say I Love You in 2010, his character had a crush on the role played by Ueno Juri.
In 2006, when he was a member of TVXQ, he starred in a film titled Dating on Earth with the members, and appeared as a delinquent high school student who again has a crush on his homeroom teacher.
Will Kim Jae Joong ever be loved?

For a single guy, having a girlfriend is good. Watching Monday Night Football is good. But watching football with your girlfriend? Not always so good–according to some men. I'm Whitney Casey, Match.com's relationship expert, and I'm here to ensure you don't fumble during a game-watching date with your man, whether it's during Monday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday or Sunday Night Football. Yep, there is that much football to be watched!
So here's the perfect xo-xo game plan for you ladies during any NFL game on how to watch football with your man- without getting punted.
1. 'Just the facts ma'am'
Don't be a know-it-all. Let him impress you with his mastery of minutia.
Tip: Stick to a few basic facts: The game flow is four 15-minute quarters, "field goals" are worth 3-points, "touchdowns" are worth 6-points, with an opportunity to gain another point with a field goal kick. Quarterbacks throw the football to either the wide receivers, or hand it off to the running backs. The teams have four chances to gain 10 yards; otherwise it is punted to the other team.
2. Let him know it's, 'Go Team Go'
His money could be riding on this game. Rooting for your man's opponents will sideline you, not to mentions it's just plain obnoxious.
Tip: Know who your man is gunning for, which team he has money on and cheer for his team. Whichever side you root for, you're still cheering for men in tight pants. It's a win-win.
3. Halftime isn't your time
This could be his time to place more bets on the game (there are endless options available to him).
Tip: Help fill the chip bowl and don't bash his team if they're under. Enjoy the moment, too!
4. Nourishment needed
Gridiron gourmet is a waste of time and effort. Fancy foods cause fumbles. Fruits, veggies, nuts and berries aren't game.
Tip: Provide anything that is fried and can be dipped or dunked in sauce. Make sure there is plenty of beer.
5. Fashion flag on the play
Men can paint their chests and faces or wear their team jerseys with matching hats but don't go there.
Tip: Use the term, "KISS," when it comes to fashion. Keep It Simple Sistah! Don a cute T and hat. A football watching party isn't time to bust out your belt-bling, matching earrings and pigskin handbags.
6. Don't hate the playah, or the game
He may be grumpy or irritable if his team starts losing. Respect this. Give him some space and recovery time. He is emotionally involved. He can be both exhilarated and exhausted in the same quarter.
Guys- would you rather your girlfriend be a football fan? Gals- Do you watch football with your guy? Tell us in the comments below.

Bartender Tiffany Soles got the receipe for Colorado Red Herb Liqueur from the book, Cordials from your kitchen by Patti Vargas and Rich Gulling. Since the liqueur is sweet with a lot of spice, she paired it with gin to balance the the flavors. Wanting a bit of sour and sparkle, she used Fentimen's Victorian Lemonade that was hanging around her kitchen and loved it. In addition to the lemon flavors, it also has some pear and ginger notes that mingle well with the spices in the liqueur.
1 oz. Plymouth Gin
1 oz. Fentimen's Victorian Lemonade
1 oz. Colorado Red Herb Liqueur
Colorado Red Herb Liqueur:
2 cups water
8 bags Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea
1 cinnamon stick, broken into 6 pieces
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 cup honey
2 tsp orange zest
1 cup 100-proof vodka
1/2 cup brandy
Yultide Punch
- Pour gin, lemonade and liqueur over ice in a rocks glass. Stir gently. Garnish with lemon wheel and rosemary sprig.
Colorado Red Herb Liqueur:
- Combine water, tea bags, cinnamon, rosemary and cloves in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 7 minutes. Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain out solids.
- Return liquid to saucepan and bring back to boil. Add honey and boil for 2-3 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Pour into a clean 1-qt container with a tight-fitting lid. Add orange zest and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Add vodka and brandy. Cover and let stand in a cool, dark place for 1 month.
- Rack or filter liqueur into final container, cover and age for 1 month before serving

Tissue manufacturer Kruger Inc. has taken another step forward in its $316 million Memphis expansion north of Downtown.
The company this week filed a $600,000 permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement to install a "concrete floor slab for operating and mezzanine floors" in the "tissue machine building" at its 400 Mahannah Ave. plant.
The permit – the latest in a string of applications to be filed in the process – lists KTG USA as the owner and tenant and AMEC Kamtech Inc. as the contractor. KTG is Kruger's parent company.
Canada's leading tissue manufacturer announced last August plans for major growth – including another building, a new tissue machine and conversion of other equipment – at its 400 Mahannah Ave. facility, south of the Mississippi River between North Second and Thomas streets.
Kruger chose Memphis over several locales in the U.S. and one in Quebec, Canada. The move preserved 294 local jobs and is expected to create 100 more long-term jobs, as well as 500 direct and indirect jobs during construction, the company estimated last year.
The Memphis City Council in April approved the city's application for $2 million in state Fast Track Infrastructure Development Grant funds for the project. No matching funding by the city is required to get the state money.

Early voting in advance of the Aug. 2 election day was expected to top 15,000 at the end of balloting on Thursday, July 19.
The early voting period continues through July 28.
Shelby County Election Commission figures showed 14,801 citizens cast early ballots in Shelby County through Wednesday, July 19. The daily total for Wednesday at 21 sites across Shelby County was 4,313, down from the first two days of early voting at the same sites.
The top turnout by early voting site has been Collierville Church of Christ where 1,874 votes had been cast through Wednesday. That was followed by New Bethel Baptist Church in Germantown with 1,738 and Bethel Church in Bartlett with 1,320.
At this point in the August 2008 early voting period, which is the same election cycle, just more than 10,000 early votes were cast. The 2008 ballot did not include the six sets of referendums on forming municipal school districts in Shelby County's six suburban towns and cities.
The ballot questions are expected to drive early and election day voter turnout.
While the numbers from Bartlett, Germantown and Collierville indicate a large turnout there, The Baker Community Center site in Millington showed 787 early voters through Wednesday and theRefuge church in Lakeland had 615 early voters.
The 14,800 early voters are 2.5 percent of the county's voters, according to Election Commission figures. But the participating voter list data released Thursday showed 583,562 total voters in the county compared to a total voter count of 433,580 in Monday's version of the same data.
By the Thursday data, 54.8 percent of the early voters cast ballots in the Republican primaries with 43 percent voting in the Democratic primary. The remainder cast early ballots only in the general election contests, which include the municipal schools district referendums.

Mike Slattery has opened a new commercial real estate company called Slattery Realty LLC.
Slattery is the owner and principal real estate broker for the firm that specializes in commercial and industrial sales, leasing, development and management.
Slattery was formerly vice president and principal broker for Crews Investment Properties of Tennessee LLC. He opened Crews Investment Properties in 1994 with Charles E. Crews. Crews moved to Franklin, Tenn., several years ago.
Crews decided to take a "passive role" as an owner and not grow the brokerage and development business, Slattery said in a statement. Slattery has taken over the marketing and management of all of Crews' properties, and Crews Investment Properties has become a holding company that will operate from Franklin.
"I've been in this business for 32 years and 17 of those years have been with Crews Investment Properties. It has been a great run," Slattery said. "This gives me the opportunity to grow the brokerage business and cultivate new prospects and partners for future deals, while still handling the properties I developed for Crews."

Undergraduate Programs
Clarkson's communication degree program is one of the most open and flexible on campus. It integrates communication, design and technology. Students develop a highly transferable and flexible repertoire of abilities and a solid, conceptual understanding of communication theory and practice. Together, these prepare students to pursue professional careers in graduate programs in this dynamic field.
Starting with a set of five required courses, students develop abilities which are the foundation of any successful 21st century career in communication: writing, speaking, design, teamwork and communication theory. Students then enhance and deepen these abilities through seven additional communication courses, which can be focused in areas like new media or technical communication.
The general requirements for the B.S. in Communication ensure that students have substantial exposure to math, science, technology computing and liberal arts. Communications majors are required to obtain 15 credit hours in an external field (e.g. biology, computer science, digital arts, business, history, information technology) which often provides them with a secondary field for further personal and professional development.
Students can use the remaining credits required for graduation to pursue individual interests or career goals. Internship and research projects for class credit are encouraged to supplement classroom learning. Clarkson provides students with an internship opportunity at the Eastman Kodak Center for Excellence in Communication, in the Publication Office, or student may choose a location outside of the University.
Students may also earn a double major by fulfilling the requirements for the B.S. in Communication and another discipline at Clarkson, often without overload coursework. Students pursuing other majors may acquire a Minor in Communication.

While it must have surely been nice to have been on the beach at Waimea Bay on Thursday, February 25, 2016, to watch The Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau surfing contest, watching it on my computer, listening to the commentators, taking in the color, and watching my friends' Julie Wassel and Mike Gordon's Facebook feeds more than made up for it. In fact, I promise you my heart raced, there was a lump in my throat, it was impossible to avoid the Aloha Spirit as it radiated from my screen.
Congratulations to John John Florence, a Young Gun from Haleiwa on his amazing win. Changing of the guard and all that. What a phenomenal surfer — as they all were.
Why was this such a spectacular event, colossal waves aside?
Did you get to watch? Here is the Quiksilver video that I cannot stop stacking up my views. Spectacular. Watch it if you've only seen it 0-10 times:
It has been too long since I've been on my dusty 9'6″ surfboard, but I am psyched to get out there again once I've finished this year of chemotherapy (melanoma stage 3a, thanks to surfing, swimming, and sunburns ever since I was a little on the Jersey Shore). When I first came to Hawaii in 1981, I started surfing within months of arriving. I learned from really great surfer friends: Ben Aipa, Bobby Kekoanui, Curtis Miyashiro, Rell Sunn, Yolanda Elliot, Tony Moniz. I first paddled out in Waikiki, but soon moved on to the Cliffs at Diamond Head, Number Threes, Ala Moana Bowls, Tennis Courts, Nanakuli, Makaha, Chun's Reef, Laniakea, Haleiwa, Pipeline (SMALL), Val's Reef (left some skin there), Rocky Point, and Velzyland. Did I just drop a lot of names? So what, haha. I got to surf with famous surfers before they were famous — like Sunny Garcia and Shawn Thompson (well, he was famous back then). Do they remember me? Hell no. Just one of a handful of chicks in the lineup during the 80s.
So for me, it was a wonderful thing to see a different kind of surfing event. In the contests I had been in, I and others would witness bad sportsmanship and punches thrown if someone dared to take off in front of someone else. Fins got broken off, boards snapped in half, rage upon rage among hot-tempered braddahs. At one contest another woman purposely tried to drop in on me but she fell off her board and I went on to score a great wave, and placing high enough to get a trophy. She later apologized. Sheesh. Head games.
What was happening during the Eddie? There were some spectacular collisions out there, late drops, wipe outs, and crossed boards. What happened when the sea spray cleared and they paddled back to the lineup? To me it looked like it stayed pretty mellow. How come?
When you watch this clip, very early on you see an Aunty, maybe even an Aunty Aikau — confirmed, Aunty Myra Aikau (Mahalo, Jules!), talking to the athletes about what it means to them, what it means to Eddie, and what was expected.
"…Eddie would want you to help each other…" she said. That dropped right into my heart. What a wonderful way to paddle out to surf, no matter where your favorite break is. Emulating what Eddie would do while out at your big break or your little ankle-snapper secret spot, that sensibility would make every surfing safari a joy.
It was confirmed from the Quiksilver Facebook page: "When Koa Rothman said — "I just wanted to get a photo of me with my brother Makua (Rothman) an Kala (Alexander) behind me," you get the sense that the guys out there were having a blast, enjoying each other, and catching the most massive waves ever seen at Waimea Bay.
The live interviews by Kaipo Guerrero (I surfed with his dad and I remember when he would paddle out at like nine years old) on the beach brought us right to the heart of what Kelly Slater was feeling when he got tucked into a tube sent directly from the late Brock Little, a middle-aged surfer guy who succumbed to cancer a few weeks before (He's younger than me, so relax).
My friend Julie Wassel's brother Dave, a North Shore lifeguard, came in seventh place in this amazing event. If you watch the clip I've linked, you see Dave on his board courtesy of a GoPro camera giving us a view from the nose. It was phenomenal. Dave was the only guy who completed four waves in each heat. He wen charge 'em like one beeg bull! Again, his joy became my joy and I was hooting like it was the Eagles at the Super Bowl!
Kaipo also interviewed Bonga Perkins of water patrol. Here's another guy I would see in the lineup when he should have been at school, LOL. Seeing him as part of water patrol made sense to me, as he and his lifeguard brothers are natural watermen. When that monster set chased all of water patrol to the beach on their jet skis, you know it had to be deafening. No matter where you surf, there's always that rogue set ready to clear things up, heh.
Finally, it should be noted that Eddie's little brother, Clyde, paddled out to participate in his last Eddie. Clyde is nine years older me at 66, not 57 like I am (That's what I initially thought!). I really had a fear for him as he paddled out. I worried about him. I know what it's like to get tossed by a five-foot wave. Clyde had a sommer-saulting experience down a giant wave that had me moaning out loud at my computer! I guess if you roll with it, you're probably going to survive. Respect. I am glad Clyde isn't going to go out into monster Waimea Bay ever again.
No one was hurt. A huge reason to remember this wonderful day.
I doubt we'll ever see an Eddie like the Leap Year Eddie. What an incredible event.

Garlic SMASHED potatoes and awards!
2 pounds red potatoes
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cream (I used 1/2 and 1/2)
3 tablespoons butter (I use Brummel and Brown)
Salt, to taste
1/4 cup garlic cloves
I like to leave a little bit of the peel on the potatoes...I like how it looks and I like the taste too! Plus the skin has the most nutrients.
Usually I drizzle olive oil on a whole head of garlic and wrap in tinfoil to roast. Today I only had a few cloves so I had to do them as explained below.
Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degree F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready.
I have received a couple of awards that I want to share with you. First off I received this one
from Country Whispers!!
This one
Hope you all have a great evening and thanks for stopping by!!!

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
May 2006
Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Technologies Analyzed for Role in Addressing Climate Change
James J. Dooley, senior scientist at the Joint Global Change Research Institute, a collaborative venture between the U.S., Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Maryland, unveiled a detailed analysis of the potentially critical role that carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies may play in addressing global climate change at the Fifth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture and Sequestration. As lead author of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Geologic Storage: A Core Element of a Global Energy Technology Strategy to Address Climate Change Dooley described the actions that will allow CCS technologies to transition from their status as potential solutions to climate change to the point where these systems are deployed widely and have become safe, effective, and trusted cornerstones of the global energy system.
"The principal merit of carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies is their ability to significantly lower the cost of addressing climate change—potentially by hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars," said Dooley. "Carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies can do this by offering the potential for continued use of the earth's abundant fossil fuel resources while still making significant progress on climate change by preventing the release of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere," he explained.
CCS systems are specifically designed to remove carbon dioxide from the flue gases and various process streams of large power plants and industrial facilities and safely deposit the carbon dioxide in secure storage sites deep underground – thus keeping it out of the atmosphere.
Analyses contained in the report represent a composite of more than 10 years of cutting-edge research conducted to better understand the significant potential of CCS technologies. Some of the key findings contained in the report include the following:
- There is potential geological capacity to store more than 11,000 billion tons of carbon dioxide around the world, likely many times more than would be required in response to even the most strict climate mitigation policies over the course of this century.
- Like other natural resources, the geologic CO2 storage reservoirs are not distributed evenly throughout the world. Nations—such as the United States—that have an abundant supply of these deep geologic CO2 storage formations will be able to maintain a robust, diversified fuel mix well into the future.
- CCS technologies have the potential to deploy in many regions of the world and within many different economic sectors.
- The electric power sector will be the largest potential market for CCS technologies: CCS systems will be most economic when deployed with new advanced coal-fired baseload electric power plants.
- The next 5-10 years constitute a critical window for research and field experimentation in which to amass needed real-world operational experience with CCS systems before large-scale commercial adoption of CCS technologies begins.
- Large-scale deployment of CCS systems will likely not begin until carbon permit prices exceed $25/ton CO2. This cost level is comparable to—and in some cases significantly less than—other large-scale CO2 emissions reduction and abatement options.
- Much work needs to be done to ensure that the potentially large and rapid scale-up in the deployment of CCS can be safely accomplished.
Situated on the University of Maryland campus, the Joint Global Change Research Institute was founded in 2001 by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Maryland. One of the strengths of the Joint Institute is an interdisciplinary core group of leading researchers and their extensive network of domestic and international collaborators that encourages the development of global and equitable solutions to the climate change problem. PNNL is operated by Battelle, a not-for-profit research institute headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.
Additional contributors to the analysis were Battelle staff members at PNNL Casie Davidson, Bob Dahowski, Marshall Wise, Sonny Kim, and Elizabeth Malone, as well as Neeraj Gupta, Battelle Columbus Division.

Morgan Stanley Looks to "ALERT" Clients on M&A
Morgan Stanley is trying its hand at alerting investors when a company could be a buyout target.
The bank has introduced a purely mathematical, or quantitative, measure called the ALERT System, meant to handicap the likelihood of a particular stock being the target of a takeover.
Strategist Adam Parker, who headed the effort, said his clients have been asking whether M&A will pick up. Recent action is at a "trough," he wrote in a note to clients, but activity could pick up quickly. So the bank launched the Acquisition Likelihood Estimate Ranking Tool—hence, ALERT—to tap companies that could be taken out.
But handicapping the likelihood of a deal can be a tricky task, especially using only a formula—quant analysis leaves out management history and other intangibles that play into often personality-heavy deal negotiations. In back-testing, the bank found that the ALERT method improves your chances, but only a bit. Out of every 100 companies in the top ALERT quintile, 4.4 got bought out, versus 2.8 of every 100 companies in the Russell 1000. That gives you 1.6 times the chance of picking an acquisition target in the top quintile than you would otherwise.

I'm thankful for my family by marriage, my wonderful husband, our precious and naughty kittens, even though Magoo chews my hair off while I sleep, and the way things have worked out for us. Also, YOU!
And bunnies.
And peppermint tea.

I'm thankful for Starbucks with drive-thru windows & good-looking men who play baseball and wear those nice snug white pants.
The best book I've read this year has probably been Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. I needed fun & uplifting at the time, and Meg delivered it.

I'm thankful for so much. Yesterday, I was giving thanks for attending a birthday for a one-year-old that included a drum jam. What a way to celebrate a young life and journey ahead!
I'm forever thankful for family and friends, which now includes so many writers/bloggers. And, wow, I'm grateful that my passion is writing.

Huge congratulations on finishing your NaNo project, that's fantastic! I'm thankful for many things, most of which you covered very well. I'll be posting about it this Wednesday on Heather's Odyssey.

Thank friends...I really am thankful for you.
Mara-- the picture was something I had downloaded from 'we heart it' which was from someone on Tumblr, and they didn't know where it was from (I tried to follow the trail)...so I do not know where the dreamy photo was taken
(and if anyone does, PLEASE let us know! I would LOVE to visit and shop in that store!!)
nor do I know to whom I should give photo credit.
(I would have linked/ given the name/details if I knew)
I hope someone knows where it is! :)

- November 22, 2010 at 7:19 PM
- Lola Sharp said...
Susan G/K-- that is a clip from the movie Love Actually...which is a favorite movie for many people, including myself. It stars more big names than I can name here, and it takes place around the holidays. That scene and that character (Billy Mack) is hilarious...though much of the movie is sad, so he's a much needed comic relief.

My thankful list is too long for this comment box...assure you that it is a big one and wish you a happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for bloggers like you. You are so sweet and supportive. I am also thankful for my husband and 3 children, my sister and parents, and for the inspiration to write every day.
Congratulations on finishing NaNo. I just finished last week on Friday. I have to admit, it took a lot out of me and I slept a lot over the weekend. Ha!
Holy Cow, 600 followers? That's incredible. Great job!

My thankful list is as long as it is wide, but right there near the top is a critter group that has kept me on the straight and narrow, nudged when I hesitated, pulled when I drug my feet, and offered companionship beyond measure.
There are times when the word THANKS is sorely inadequate. :)

I'm thankful for all the people in my life. Time is too short. I'm thankful to have a warm roof over my head and food on the table. I'm happy I don't live in a place like North Korea.
The best book this year ... I'm enjoying *Year of the Flood* by Margaret Atwood right now.

About Me
- Lola Sharp
- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

Stats for Lasik Surgical Treatment PatientsThe Lasik operation can be a terrific, life-changing alternative for many people whose vision is less than ideal. There are a number of various kinds of Lasik operations now available, from the original and well documented procedure to Lasik treatments made with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik treatment should be discussed with the physician that is to perform the operation.
Like any surgical treatment, Lasik does have the capacity for side effects.
Sometimes reading the horror stories of the results of a Lasik treatment can hinder individuals from seriously thinking about such a choice. It is also real that the huge varieties of individuals who have a successful, trouble-free Lasik surgery tend not to report a in-depth and long story of their experience, unlike those that have actually experienced difficulty afterward.
However, it readies to understand what the possible side effects of the Lasik treatment are, as well as the possibility that one of these negative effects will take place for a specific client. Just like any medication we take, each has a possible number of negative effects, but we typically presume that the possibility of a serious adverse effects is small, and we take the medicine anyhow. This article will ideally put concerns of the potential Lasik client into point of view so that they can calmly and attentively ponder having a Lasik treatment done in the future.
More than one million Lasik treatments are done in the US every year, inning accordance with the FDA. This arm of the national government has actually accumulated the following stats for the most typical side effects of the Lasik treatment. These data will also vary by the doctor performing the surgery, so ensure to obtain as much information on the prospective Lasik physician as possible.
After Lasik surgical treatment, 1.7 percent of clients experience some glare or sensitivity to light after the operation. This varies by patient, but this level of sensitivity is specifically noticeable when looking at a brilliant light, such as a streetlight when strolling at night, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related side effect is a halo around a light, and this happens in 3.5 percent of Lasik patients.
The new, fixed vision can be observed rapidly by some Lasik clients, in just a couple of hours after surgical treatment. Most patients that have actually gone through the Lasik treatment discover the modification is irreversible within a couple of days. In 2.6 percent of customers that have actually had a Lasik treatment done, there is consistent visual change within at least a part of their sphere of vision.
Some clients do not get a completely fixed sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure. This happens with a small number of customers, and the FDA data are that just 3 percent of patients have this effect. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will carry out an additional Lasik procedure to try these out enhance this.
This detailing of the significant long-term side effects of the Lasik treatment need to put any personal horror stories into viewpoint. Notification that none of the percentages are above 3 percent, and this need to bring convenience to many potential Lasik customers. However, it needs to also motivate them to look thoroughly at the Lasik doctor's personal record.
There are several different types of Lasik operations now readily available, from the original and well recorded procedure to Lasik treatments done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. It is great to understand what the possible side impacts of the Lasik procedure are, and also the probability that one of these side impacts will occur for a particular patient. Most clients that have undergone the Lasik procedure discover the change is irreversible within a few days. Some patients do not get a completely remedied sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure.

I'm primarily a guitar player but I bought a Proteus 2000 module a few years ago to do some home recording. The module has the standard Composer ROM and it also has the Vintage (Keys) Collection ROM.
I would like to sell the module but I am having trouble finding any info on the price of this unit with the Vintage Collection ROM. In fact, I can't find much, if anything, on current used prices for just the VK ROM itself!
Either this ROM is very rare or it is of no interest or value. Personally, I think some of the sounds are amazing considering the age of the technology.
Does anyone have any idea what the module with the VK ROM might be worth? Or what the Vintage ROM itself is worth?
Any help/info is greatly appreciated.
(Btw - Apologies if I posted this in the wrong area of the forum.)

Nassim Nicholas Taleb - What is a "Black Swan?"
Both Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nouriel Roubini correctly predicted the market was built on sand and would eventually collapse; but neither one of them got right precisely when it would happen (they both thought in 2003). Predicting exactly when or why is not the issue. The issue is the poor choice of fiscal policy.
Steve Keen predicted the exponential growth of private debt and build up of a financial bubble that would soon crash.
Joe Stiglitze predicted an "unsustainable growth" that was doomed to crash.
George Soros, correctly predicted the housing bubble collapse, which then exposed a much deeper bubble (a super-bubble in Soros' terms) that was the entire solvency/credit trap that has taken over and the failure of 30 years of economic policy;

Condon Murder case proceeds; police cleared of illegal search
Iroquois County Judge Gordon Lustfeldt has denied a defense argument in the Andrew Condon murder case, claiming police information used to obtain a search warrant was based on false statements.
The judge denied what's legally called a Franks hearing to determine whether the police information to gain the warrant came from false statements.
Condon is jailed in Watseka charged with last October's shooting death of Jonathan Rubin. Rubin was the overnight attendant at the Gilman Shell Gas Station when he was shot multiple times inside the business, just off Route 24.
Condon was arrested and charged with 2-counts of murder.
Court records refer to a surveillance tape showing an argument between Condon and Rubin, but there's no audio providing exactly what was said during the confrontation. The tape however, does show a clear problem between the defendant and the clerk, Rubin.
The prosecution contends the defendant was verbally abusive to Rubin.
