Charles Woodson, Champ Bailey and the Best Two-Way Players in Recent NFL HistoryJanuary 8, 2011
In recent history, the art of playing both sides of the ball is something that seems to be limited to high school football. As football fans, we've been lucky enough to witness a handful of players who have been modern day throwback. Owen Marecic, linebacker/fullback for the Stanford Cardinal, is the latest player to demand respect.
In a game earlier this season in South Bend, Marecic scored twice in 13 seconds, powering in a goal-line run, and then subsequently picking off a pass for a touchdown on the next play after the kickoff.
In an interview after the game, Marecic said, "It wasn't one of my best games."
Players like Marecic are models for young athletes. They embody the desire to do whatever is necessary to win, and play with heart. Anyone who knows the hard-knock nature of football would agree that linebacker and fullback are the most dominant positions in the race for head-to-head collisions.
In fact, Marecic spent his entire 2010 season either blowing up a fullback, or knocking down a linebacker. This all sounds pretty impressive for a guy to led the team in GPA, acquiring a 3.8 last season. Don't forget, this is Stanford.
Marecic reminds me of the beloved Charles Woodson, who still remains the only versatile player to win the Heisman Trophy. When I say versatile, I mean just that: Woodson was a lockdown corner, an explosive kick and punt returner and a deep threat decoy, allowing the Wolverines offense to spread the field. Players who make big plays in big games are the ones we remember, and that was Woodson's M.O.
In the epic rivalry game that is Ohio State vs. Michigan, he recorded a dazzling punt return touchdown, picked off a pass in the end zone that prevented a Buckeyes score and caught a 37-yard pass that eventually led to points.
In his first year in the NFL in 1998, Woodson recorded five interceptions, taking one back for six points. Since his rookie season, Woodson has recorded 45 interceptions, not including this season.
Then along came Champ Bailey.
Bailey was actually more of a threat then Woodson on offense, accumulating over 700 yards and eight touchdowns during his junior season in Georgia. He also anchored the defensive secondary, recording 52 tackles and three interceptions. Similar to Woodson, Bailey even returned kicks and punts, averaging over 100 all-purpose yards per game.
Bailey has recorded 48 interceptions in the NFL since being drafted, a number eerily similar to Charles Woodson. He was part of a blockbuster deal rarely seen in the NFL, and was swapped with star running back Clinton Portis, sending Bailey to Denver where he has been playing since 2004.
Surely, there were more of these unique talents in recent history, right?
Not really, but in a discussion such as this, Eric Weddle has to have his name mentioned.
The former Utah Ute embodied the desire of an all-around football player, forcing a school record nine fumbles at strong safety during his career. He also produced 10 sacks, 18 interceptions, numerous deflected passes and even threw for a touchdown. On 52 carries, Weddle racked up over 250 yards and six touchdowns throughout his time in Utah.
Similar to the other players on this list, he also returned punts and kicks, but to his unique credit, also was the placeholder for field goals. Weddle was everywhere, noted as being on the field almost as much as the referees.
It's too bad we don't see more of this kind of thing, but the reasons why we don't are pretty obvious: The game has become more complex, and for players to attend both offensive and defensive meetings means they have to possess some serious motivation.
In Owen Marecic's case, his ability to play in the two power positions almost make him better then most other two-way stars. He's the first running back to play on defense since Holy Cross star Gordie Lockbaum, who finished fifth in the Heisman voting race in 1986.
Marecic will become an exclusive fullback in the NFL presumably, but don't be surprised when you see him trot out on defense or special teams. He might get a little restless on the sideline, a place he's not used to standing behind.

ANCHORAGE - Alaska's lone Congressman, Don Young, says he knows the race for Congress this year won't be easy.
Sound off on the important issues at
Young is facing a field of strong contenders for what would be his 19th term in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is also under federal investigation, although officials at the Department of Justice won't say why.
He's told supporters he will "be running as hard as you've ever seen me run."
During the past week, he held campaign events in Fairbanks, Wasilla, Kenai and Anchorage and pledged to be in Alaska every month for the rest of this year.
Republican Party of Alaska chairman Randy Ruedrich said "it's a higher level of real engagement than (Young has) had in a number of years."
Young faces state Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Kodiak, in their party's primary.
The Democratic contenders for Alaska's congressional seat are former state House minority leader Ethan Berkowitz, ex-state Democratic Party chief Jake Metcalfe and Diane Benson, who received 40 percent of the vote when she ran against Young in 2006.
"This is not going to be an easy election," Young said at his meet and greet and fundraiser at the Sourdough Mining Company, an Anchorage restaurant.
Young said none of his challengers would be able to do the job better than he has.
"Anybody running for this job, ask them what they can do better than Don Young," he said.
Competitors say Young, who first went to Congress in 1973, has been in office long enough and it's time for change. At least two of them, Benson and Metcalfe, have focused on the federal investigation and argue it hurts Alaska's credibility.
Young, 74, has been under investigation for his ties to VECO Corp., for fundraising activities and for his role in specific congressional earmarks. He has not been charged with any crime.
Young has spent hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars on lawyers, but has not revealed what kind of legal work and advice that money is buying.

This area is also known as 'Winter Quarters' due to the fact that the first group stopped for the winter around this location. There may be a very few later than that here as well.

Talk with people who renounced violence in FATA: Pak PMJuly 26th, 2008 - 1:17 pm ICT by ANI
Islamabad, July 26 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that the government would engage in dialogue only with people who had renounced violence in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
Referring to the agreement inked between the Taliban and the NWFP government in the Tribal Areas, Gilani said that if it failed, the government would adopt another strategy.
It was the peoples and the governments wish that the army not be used to battle terrorists in the Tribal Areas of the country, he added.
On the reinstatement of the sacked judges, he said that all coalition partners were being consulted on the issue. The government had no choice but to add a clause in the finance bill referring to an increase in the number of Supreme Court judges.
He also said the Governments two main priorities are strengthening the economy and maintaining law and order in Pakistan.
These two issues were linked, as investment and economic activity were not possible without peace. To ensure economic stability, the Government had been forced to take some unpopular decisions, he added.
The government was aware of the sufferings of the population, but had been compelled to take decisions to increase the prices of fuel and food commodities for the countrys overall economic stability, he said.
The beneficiaries would be identified through the National Database and Registration Authority and would be facilitated without any political discrimination, the Daily Times quoted him, as saying. (ANI)

Last Friday night in Okolona was one of the great examples of why high school football is so entertaining. It featured tremendous athletic ability, stomach churning intensity, absolute elation and take-you-to-your-knees heartbreak, all within just a couple of minutes.
Having seen Okolona play a few weeks earlier against Bruce, and win, I arrived fully aware of how explosive this Chieftain team is. I wasn't certain if the Calhoun City fans, or more importantly their players, completely understood prior to kickoff. That awakening took place on the game's first play from scrimmage when Rod Jones snatched an errant throw out of the air and like a fine tuned Lamborghini, went 0-50, or should I say 50 to goal line, in what seemed like 1.5 seconds.
Just like that, Okolona led 7-0, and suddenly everyone on the Wildcat sideline knew we were in for a ball game.
'City answered with the quick, yet bruising running of senior Levarious Varnado to drive down for a game-tying touchdown. Then Okolona answered, and the Wildcats answered back.
Back and forth we went until the final two minutes when Steele Liles sacked Okolona's Jacolbi Heard for a 12 yard loss and appeared to put the game away with the Chieftains facing fourth and 22.
Then along came Jones.
Like a blur in the night, Jones streaked by the Wildcat secondary and Heard delivered a perfect strike. Jones never broke stride until he curved around the back of the end zone celebrating what most in the stadium believed was the game-winning touchdown.
What has most impressed me about the Wildcats under head coach Perry Liles is that whenever a big play needs to be made, somebody always steps up.
The Wildcats, undeterred by the fast-clicking clock, marched to midfield as the one minute mark passed by. The tension of possibly losing a region title began to drop like a late night fog over the visiting stands.
Facing third and ten, Chakel Gates scrambled out of the enclosing pocket and unleashed a rocket toward the visiting sideline where Travone Petty was hovering near the first down marker. At the last second, a Chieftain defender leaped and deflected the ball straight up into the air. It seemed to hang there forever before finally dropping softly into the waiting hands of Petty with no Chieftain within five yards of him.
He sprinted down the sideline and into the end zone with 33 seconds still on the clock as Wildcat fans erupted. Across the field you could see Chieftain players, coaches and fans sink in disbelief.
The way the night had played out, it was almost expected for something to happen on the ensuing kickoff and it did. It was muffed and Shaquille Wright recovered for the Wildcats to end the entertaining game.
Travone told me afterwards that the game-winning touchdown was the biggest play of his life.
"I just thank God for putting me in a position to be there," he said.
I felt the same way, thankful to have been there to witness one of the best games I've seen in a while.

Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Yesterday I submitted a big long blog which was promptly eaten by cyberspace. Bah.
Anyhow, I will attempt to recap and stuff...
First, as of Saturday, I am back to my goal weight. Yay! I realize that the bulk of the weight I saw on the scale when I arrived home was fluid retention from all the sodium, sugars, etc that I indulged in during that week home for Christmas. I definitely did not eat enough calories to gain 5 pounds, and certainly haven't cut enough to lose 5 pounds. But I'd be willing to bet that a pound to a pound and a half of what I gained/lost was fat.
I focused these last 2 weeks on staying at or below my minimum calorie range (reminder, this is a maintenance range, not a weight-loss range, so coming in low was not going to negatively affect my health or metabolism). I've thrown in a high day a couple times, but mostly have stuck below my range. So I've averaged around a 200 to 300 calorie deficit. Enough over 2 weeks to maybe lose a pound or so of fat.
Anyhow, I am feeling MUCH better now that I'm not scarfing down cookies. Not that I don't like cookies, but my goodness I was so overstuffed with them that it's been nice not to have them in the house. In fact the thin mint cookies in my freezer haven't been touched since I got home. Normally those are my "dessert" - 150 calories of minty chocolatey deliciousness and I haven't even wanted them. LOL
Then starting Sunday I am PMSing hard-core and craving everything under the sun. So I've been trying to stuff down extra veggies to fill myself up. Hasn't stopped the cravings, but hopefully they will pass soon. And maybe tonight I won't give in... I certainly caved last night. Ah well. Not the end of the world.
I have been trying to work towards some of my goals.
I made a new recipe from the Spark cookbook Sunday - Tuna casserole. One minor change was that we switched the mushrooms out for lentils. Neither of us like mushrooms, so we swapped them out, and it turned out pretty good. Only thing we'll change next time around I think is to reduce (significantly) the amount of thyme that the recipe called for. It's crazy overpowering. So I think we'll cut that by at least half, if not more, and maybe add some basil or something. The other thing we noticed is that it's a bit dry. I think in part because of the swap from mushrooms to lentils. So I'm not positive yet how to fix that. Maybe a little more milk...
We've been playing with our new salad spinner too. We bought it just before Christmas with a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card, and so far really like it. It works great for keeping salad fresh for a long time. We chopped organic romaine lettuce and organic carrots and have been keeping those in the spinner in the fridge, and have been having salad pretty much daily, if not more often - this weekend I had it for lunch and dinner both days. So I've been cramming crazy amounts of veggies into my system. Which has been very delicious.
Anyhow, this morning I woke up 5 pounds heavier than yesterday, which I'm attributing to a fluid change relating mostly to PMS, and partially to the handfull of chocolate chips I ate last night. So we'll see what tomorrow brings, and hopefully once Aunt Flow arrives, I'll be back to normal. Exercise is going well. I'm hoping to start AM runs with the dogs in about a month (once Steve hits a year old). But we need to double-check with the vet when we bring him in at the end of this month. Hopefully he'll get an all-clear to start running.
I think I wrote more yesterday, but I give up trying to remember it.... And today I'm copying this whole thing before hitting submit just in case cyberspace is still hungry.

People came out by the droves to enjoy the activities and fellowship with one another.
"I come out here with my son, his wife and my grandkids, Sean and Cole," Hinesville resident Barbara Archambault said. "It has been a perfect day and we are having a great time."
Archanbault wasn't the only one having a good time as more than 2,500 people attended the event.
Seventh grader Lauren Young and her friend, sixth-grader Elara Ayala, were all smiles as they patiently waited on the pig chase.
"That's my favorite part of the day," Young said, "It's so funny watching everyone catch the pigs. I'm going to do it."
This year's event had more than 70 booths set up, featuring crafts, T-shirts, cakewalks, hair painting, beads and NASCAR memorabilia, just name a few. There was also plenty of food.
Whether festival-goers wanted boiled peanuts, funnel cakes, sausage dogs, steak sandwiches, or plain old hamburgers and hot dogs, there was a booth to find the desired entrée.
There was also a variety of entertainment, including dancing, country, gospel, pop and even a little Elvis Presley music.
Deotha Johnson received the Long County's Citizen of the Year award for her outstanding service in the community. Johnson is the deputy registrar for Long County and a member of the St. James Missionary Baptist Church. She and her husband, Willie F. Johnson, have been married to 61 years.
Ludowici/Long County Fire Department Assistant Chief Andy Mock was working at the turkey shoot and he summed up the day by saying, "It is a beautiful day and it has been a great day. I think this is one of the best we've ever had."

|Reviews for When Life Happens
| PearloftheStars chapter 1 . 12/22/2010
Is this The Great and Terrible series by Chris Stewart, or A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray? The Gemma Doyle books already have a category if so, it's the Gemma Doyle Trilogy. The confusion aside, this is very intriguing.
| ChristianBookNerd chapter 1 . 11/9/2010
Is this really a Great and Terrible Beauty story? I would LOVE it if it was! I can't really tell if this is the same Great and Terrible series by Libba Bray since there is only one story! It sounds like it so far, but you can never be too sure! Please CONTINUE, even if I am the only one that's reading! ) I can't tell much from the first chapter, but it looks good so far! PLEASE KEEP WRITING!

text: For the past several years I have been in contact and provided information from my fishing journal to Andy Appleby who heads up the delayed release coho program for Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. I was talking to Andy this week and he mentioned WDFW would like to get information about the number of clipped vs. unclipped resident coho. It seems like WDFW is uncertain what the percentage of resident coho that are wild fish(30%?) He asked me to keep a record of clipped vs unclipped resident coho which I catch in the near future and send him that information. Andy said that approximately 20% of delayed release coho become "resident" coho in Puget Sound. For example, 1.8 million delayed release coho(6-7") will be turned loose from the Squaxin Island net pens(joint Squaxin Tribe and WDFW) sometime this June. So approximately 360,000 of these fish should become "resident" coho to provide us with an enjoyeable Fall, Winter, and Spring fisheries. I hope that some of you other resident coho flyfishers would be willing to help Andy out and keep a count/record of unclipped vs. clipped which you have caught. Data can be sent to his e-mail address([email protected]). Next Nov. I will bring this thread back up to remind those flyfishers who would be willing to participate. Roger

What's in "your" Kenpo?
March 15 2011 at 9:17 PM
No score for this post
from IP address 22.214.171.124
Hello, today i was reading some topics on various kenpo sites and came across the question "What is kenpo lacking?" Now of course many responded and their answers were ground fighting, jujitsu, weapons ect...
Ok i had to disagree, with the proper understanding and knowledge of kenpo i believe that it is not lacking. it has and is what it was intended to be.
Now i do understand why some may think that, but i find that to be a personal feeling. Some feel that there is not enough indepth material on grappling, jujitsu or weapons. And this is true to a point, tho the main focus is not on the material that some believe is missing, they are touched on in some form or another.
I look at Kenpo the way i look at all other martial arts, they all have a foundation that the art is built on, and if they stray too far from that, It becomes murky and unclear. If one wants to better themselves then they have every right to incorporate other material. On the other hand if one is content with what kenpo has to offer, then kenpo is complete for them.
comments, regards
thank you

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Cassel both turn 30 years old this year, both were seventh round draft picks that had to work their way to a starting position, and both have had uneven careers over the last three years. Neither is likely to excite you as you select your backups in fantasy football. Still, there is one that I think is at least worth a late round flier with upside based on his profile.
Which one is it? Well, the one that has several guys who had big years at age 30 after seasons where they had high interception totals. If you look at football history, the predictive stats like yards per attempt, completion percentage and sack rate are far better to focus on, rather than interception rate. In Fitzpatrick's case, he led the league in interception rate last year, and while his yards per attempt was below average, his sack rate was well above, despite injuries on the offensive line that contributed to his poor play down the stretch.
Let's put the two up against each other:
Matt Cassel got hurt last year, and the Chiefs could have brought competition in to challenge him for a starting position for the first time in his four years in Kansas City. They picked up Kyle Orton late in the year, and Orton helped them give the Packers their only loss of the season and stabilize the position after Cassel was hurt (Tyler Palko was nothing short of a disaster). Instead, it is Ricky Stanzi and Brady Quinn behind Cassel, so he would appear safe.
However, his list of comps doesn't engender confidence. They averaged only 7 games started at age 30, through a combination of continued mediocre play, injuries, and being replaced. Only Elway and Harbaugh started more than half the team's games, and Cassel is no Elway, despite Elway's numbers taking a brief dip at ages 28 and 29. Guys like Zorn, Aaron Brooks, and Campbell are more realistic comps.
Jamaal Charles will be back, and the Chiefs hope that Jon Baldwin develops as a legitimate #2 option opposite Dwayne Bowe. The pieces are there to duplicate 2010. However, that 2010 season came at the expense of an extremely easy passing schedule, as Cassel thrived on the NFC West and AFC West. This year, it's the AFC North and NFC South. While his outlook should be a little better than last season, Cassel still is not a dynamic passer and the Chiefs will likely rely on defense and running.
Matt Cassel comps at ages 28-30: Jim Zorn, Aaron Brooks, Jim Harbaugh, Jason Campbell, Joey Harrington, John Elway, Vinny Testaverde, Bubby Brister, Marc Wilson, Pat Ryan
Cassel's projection: 12 Games Started, 226 of 380 (59.5%), 2510 yards (6.6 YPA), 14 TD, 11 INT
25 rushes, 90 yards, 1 touchdown, 30 Sacks Taken
Ryan Fitzpatrick started off last year great, then really struggled as the Bills lost 9 of their last 10. Some of that was him coming back to earth, but a fair amount of it was also injuries around him, including key losses like Eric Wood at center and Fred Jackson at running back. The offensive line really was decimated over the second half of the season, and it showed. In addition, the defense could not stop anyone unless they got turnovers, and that put pressure on to make plays. As a result, Fitzpatrick closed with 10 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in the last 9 games, and led the league in INT's.
His comps show guys that bounced back, so the main concern with Fitzpatrick is whether he gets that opportunity, as the fans may clamor for Vince Young if he gets off to a slow start. With an improved defense, better health on offense, and a much better passing schedule (we don't know how it will turn out, but last year's was tough), Fitzpatrick presents a decent late round gamble at the position if you wait for your backup.
Ryan Fitzpatrick comps at ages 28-30: Elvis Grbac, Vinny Testaverde, Eli Manning, Stan Humphries, Vince Ferragamo, Jon Kitna, Kerry Collins, Jim Everett, Aaron Brooks, Jay Fiedler
Fitzpatrick's projection: 12 GS, 252 of 410 (61.5%), 2910 yards (7.1 YPA), 18 TD, 14 INT
36 rushes, 180 yards, 1 touchdown, 23 Sacks Taken
Previous Projections:
Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, Kevin Kolb and John Skelton
Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, and Eli Manning
Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning
Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Andy Dalton, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder

The Men In Black: Forest v Doncaster Rovers
Premier League referee Mr. Michael Jones from sunny Chester, gets the gig for the game at the City Ground tonight, between Forest and Donny.
You have to go all the way back to the 2008/9 season to find the last time Mr. Jones had the pleasure of refereeing a game involving the Reds'. It was a Monday night in April at a packed Bramall Lane, where despite being down to 10 men for the majority of the game, the Reds' held out for a hard fought 0-0 draw. Mr. Jones controversially sent off Kelvin Wilson after only 15 minutes, for an innocuous challenge on United's Greg Halford.
So far this campaign, he's taken charge of 23 games, in which he's dished out 91 yellow cards and 8 red.
He will be ably assisted on the lines by Mr. Stuart Burt and Mr. David Bryan. The fourth official will be Mr. Trevor Kettle.

Paul Hay joined the Juneau Empire staff this week as the newspaper's new advertising director.
Hay jumped right in, arriving from Bandon, Ore., on Monday night and coming in for a "fast and furious" first day of work on Tuesday morning.
Juneau Empire Publisher Mark Bryan said he is "very pleased" Hay has joined the Empire, citing his advertising background in small- to medium-sized daily newspapers, the most recent of which was as advertising director for one daily and two weekly newspapers in Coos Bay, Ore., a market that is tourism, commercial fishing, timber and energy based.
"This makes for a great fit and a shorter learning curve," Bryan said. "Another attribute that favored Paul in the selection process was the importance he places on value-based marketing and finding the right blend of our products to best fit the client's needs. It's not a 'one-size fits all' business and he doesn't approach it that way. I think Paul is a great fit for Juneau and will be a real asset to our business community."
Along with a print sales background of about 8 years, Hay also has experience with the Web. For the last year, he ran a printing and copying company with his wife, Cindy.
Though the Empire is currently hiring two more advertising representatives, when the department is fully staffed, Hay will be directly managing a staff of seven.
Hay said he's making it a priority to be available for any Empire advertiser, both at work and on his cell phone.
"Any customer can call me anytime," he said. "You do have your turnover on your sales teams, and they (advertisers) just want to make sure they have somebody they can call.
"My goal is not to be spending all my time in this office," he added. "My goal is to get out there and to meet our customers and to support our customers."
The Hays have eight children, ranging in age from 10 to 23. Cindy Hay and the couple's 15 year old, 13 year old and soon-to-be 11 year old will be arriving this summer.
Hay said his family loves the outdoors, but is especially involved in the performing arts. He served as president of the playhouse in Bandon, and plans on getting involved with Perseverance Theatre and the performing arts in Juneau.
"We're excited ... to learn the community," he said.

|This article is about the book. You may be looking for the episode or the magazine story.
- "How was your day in charge, Peter Sam?"
"No bother at all! Don't you agree, Victor?"
"I do. It was no bother at all!"
- — Mr. Percival, Peter Sam and Victor
|Don't Bother Victor!
Sharon Miller
July 1st, 2013
Don't Bother Victor! is a Thomas Story Time book.
The Thin Controller tells Peter Sam and Thomas that he is to meet with the Fat Controller. He then puts Peter Sam in charge while he is away. Mr. Percival goes on to tell Peter Sam that Victor will be coming later on and that he is not to bother him with little things before his visit. Thomas wishes Peter Sam good luck and tells him that being in charge will be fun as he will get to make all of the decisions. As Thomas leaves to take the Thin Controller to his meeting, Rheneas pulls up and tells Peter Sam that Sir Handel is creaking and croaking at the halt. Rheneas tells Peter Sam to fetch Victor, but Peter Sam remembers what Mr. Percival had said about not bothering Victor and decides to try and fix Sir Handel himself.
At Daisy Halt, Sir Handel is creaking and croaking. Peter Sam decides that Sir Handel must need more oil. So Sir Handel's driver adds more oil to his engine, but Sir Handel starts to creak louder than ever. Just then, Rheneas pulls up and informs Peter Sam that Skarloey is suffering from a broken funnel and that he must fetch Victor. Peter Sam still does not want to bother Victor and decides to go and fix Skarloey himself.
Peter Sam finds Skarloey near a water tower looking very worried. Peter Sam decides that Skarloey just needs to put some water down his funnel. Skarloey's driver does put some water down the funnel, but it only makes things worse by extinguishing Skarloey's fire. Peter Sam is very upset; he had not been very good at being charge for the day.
As Peter Sam puffs sadly along, he suddenly comes to a stop. He has run out of coal. Then, Rheneas arrives and Peter Sam asks him to fetch Victor. Rheneas chuckles and tells Peter Sam that they must not bother Victor. But then, Peter Sam remembers Thomas' advice about making decisions. Peter Sam realises that he can decide whether or not to bother Victor.
Soon, Victor has fixed all of the broken engines. He is puzzled as to why he was not called for earlier. Peter Sam explains that the Thin Controller had said not to bother him. Victor smiles and says that he does not mind; it is his job to fix engines.
Later that day, Thomas brings Mr. Percival back to the Skarloey Railway. Mr. Percival asks Peter Sam how his day had been. Peter Sam says that it was no bother at all and Victor agrees.

Mass. Matters | Globe Editorial
CAMPAIGNING FOR governor in 1990, Bill Weld coined a catchy phrase to sum up his criminal justice policy, vowing to ``reintroduce our inmates to the joys of busting rock." What Weld, who had been a prosecutor, had to have known was that the vast majority of inmates eventually will be released to the communities they once victimized. (Full article: 953 words)

Where taking my medication is concerned, I am disciplined and compliant. I don't see the point of complaining that I am feeling bad if I don't take my treatment UNLESS of course the said treatment makes me feel a lot worse. In that case I go back to my psychiatrist because he/she needs to know what is going on.
I endeavour to do a bit more than that: I do my best to go to my doctor with good quality 'data'. All he/she has to go on is what I tell him/her so I feel it's important to be as descriptive and accurate as I can in sharing what is going on - or not going on as the case may be.
I am prepared to feel a lot worse before I feel better, providing of course that I am not feeling dangerously ill - i.e. suicidal, vomiting, with dilated pupils, etc. Reading the leaflet inside the medication box is helpful in this regard because it usually tells you what the common side effects are and what the more dangerous ones can be. 'Tell your doctor immediately if' or 'stop taking this medication if' are good indicators of what is considered bad news! On the other hand, it is also true that reading those leaflets can put the fear of God in you at a time when you are already feeling unwell, therefore fragile and vulnerable.
About two months ago, I was prescribed Aripiprazole (Abilify) on top of my usual treatment of Escitalopram Oxalate (Cipralex) and Carbamazepine (Tegretol). Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic, Cipralex is an antidepressant, and Carbamazepine is a mood stabiliser.
I kid you not: some of the side effects listed in the leaflet accompanying Aripiprazole were 'excessive gambling' and 'sudden unexplained death'! I am glad to report I was affected by neither.
In fact, Aripiprazole worked very well for me for a month or so. I regained my sleep and felt generally more stable. I was pleased and my psychiatrist was delighted. After that however things changed - this is how:
At this point I started observing what was going. Adapting the 'detached observant' posture of a scientist when you are your own subject is not easy but it is possible and it does help to collect that precious data I can take back to my psychiatrist.
I felt pretty upset. Things were going so well and now it felt like the medication had 'turned' against me. Being an ex-professional Executive Coach I decided to explore possible positive ways of looking at this situation. I came up with those questions:
There was only one way to find out: I reduced my dose. Thank God for pill cutters! I immediately felt better ... for the first three days. Then things went back to square one, only less violently so. This told me that my dosage experiment was collecting some important data. I stayed on the reduced dose for two weeks to give my system a chance to settle down before asking any more questions. I then asked:
It's hard to tell at this early stage whether this is a reaction to my stopping the antipsychotic - i.e. a withdrawal reaction - or whether this is proof that the half dose of medication is making a difference. The only way to find out is to stay off the med until I see my psychiatrist again at the end of November UNLESS of course I take a serious nose dive, in which case I'll start taking the half dose again and keep an eye on myself.
Well, there you go. I will now go and have some breakfast, and I will keep you informed.
You never know: something really useful could come out of all that detached observing. In the meantime, I wish my stomach would detach and go bothering somebody else but it seems firmly anchored :D
I love the art work. - Marla Ahlgrimm

The Department of English and Modern Foreign Languages offers your choice of two minors in French. The French minor focuses on the language, literature and culture of France and will prepare you for additional studies in these areas. If you are considering a teaching career, you may want to choose a French minor leading to P-12 Certification. French minors are encouraged to immerse themselves in the French language and culture through study abroad.
What Can I Do With This Degree?
French and English are spoken on all continents. This means the possibilities are practically endless! Here are just a few ideas:
1. Teacher - certain areas of the United States continue to experience teacher shortages in foreign languages.
2. Translator - you can do this full time, or you can pick it up on the side.
3. Librarian or researcher - language skills are a huge asset to anyone looking at research-related careers.
4. Law enforcement/national security - more and more police departments, as well as the FBI and CIA, need people who can communicate in more than one language.
5. Diplomacy - just imagine, a career in Europe, Africa or South America. You don't have to be an ambassador to play an important role.

President Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove, remains under investigation, according to news reports.
As the legal and political meaning and consequences of the grand jury's action unfold, a clear moral perspective emerges: the Bush administration has wandered away from its promise to establish an era of moral responsibility through its making the case for war against Iraq and its reaction to a war critic.
The indictment of Libby and investigation of Rove suggest anything but an era of moral responsibility.
Had the White House indeed acted responsibly, it would have taken the prudent course in leading the nation into war.
Instead, the administration chose to cry nuclear wolf and then to smear a critic, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who questioned the administration's manipulation of intelligence information related to the nuclear threat from Iraq.
When Wilson wrote an opinion editorial ("What I Didn't Find in Africa") in the New York Times that appeared on July 6, 2003, more than 200 American soldiers had been killed. This week the death toll from the war surpassed 2,000.
Behind the campaign against Wilson and disclosure of classified information about his wife, an undercover CIA agent, was the administration's use of fear to sell the public on the war against Iraq.
In February 2002, the CIA sent Wilson to Niger to "check out" the story about Iraq seeking to purchase uranium. Upon his return, he briefed the CIA and the State Department African Affairs Bureau.
In March 2002, Cheney said on "Meet the Press" that Hussein was a great danger, "especially if he's able to acquire nuclear weapons."
"There's good reason to believe that he continues to aggressively pursue the development of a nuclear weapon," said Cheney. "I think it would be a great tragedy if Saddam Hussein were to be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons."
On the same day, Cheney spoke again of the nuclear threat on "Face the Nation" and CNN's "Late Edition," where he said, "This is a man of great evil … And he is actively pursuing nuclear weapons at this time."
In September, Bush said in a United Nation's Security Council speech that Iraq had made "several attempts to buy high-strength aluminum tubes to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons."
In October, he said, "The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program." He referred to Iraq's attempt to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and said that Iraq "could have a nuclear weapon in less than a year."
Bush said, "Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for final proof—the smoking gun—that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency studied the claim related to the use of aluminum tubes for the enrichment of uranium and concluded that it was wrong.
In his January 2003 State of the Union address, Bush said: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons."
In early March, the IAEA reported that the documents about the purchase of uranium from Niger were fabricated.
The U.S. invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003.
Unable to find weapons of mass destruction, especially evidence of a nuclear weapons program, the administration's case for war began to unravel.
Five days after Wilson's column appeared on July 6, CIA director George Tenet admitted that Bush's 16 words about African uranium "should never have been included in the text written for the President."
Three later, Robert Novak, a conservative columnists, tried to discredit Wilson with the assertion that his wife sent him on the trip to Niger and thereby disclosed her identity. Novak said he obtained his information from two senior administration officials.
Before the month ended, a White House deputy national security adviser admitted his failure to keep the Niger claim out of the State of the Union address.
When the Justice Department announced in September that it was investigating the CIA leak, at the request of the CIA, Bush said, "If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true and get on about the business."
Asked if he had talked to Rove, Bush said he wanted people "who have got solid evidence" to "come forward and speak out."
He promised: "We'll get to the bottom of this and move on. But I want to tell you something—leaks of classified information are a bad thing."
In June 2004, Bush was asked if he would fire a staff member who leaked the name of a CIA agent. He answered, "Yes."
On July 13, 2005, with Rove sitting behind him, Bush told reporters, "I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once this investigation is complete."
He said, "I have instructed every member of my staff to fully cooperate in this investigation."
It is now clear that the White House has not acted responsibly whether through staff cooperation with the investigation or through the discerning evaluation of intelligence material.
Had it not cried nuclear wolf, the White House would never have felt the need to smear Wilson. One bad decision led to another and another.
In the most recent episode of NBC's "The West Wing," Toby Ziegler, White House director of communication, admitted that he leaked classified information. President Josiah Bartlet refused to accept his resignation letter in the Oval Office. Instead, Bartlet fired Ziegler. Ziegler was escorted out of White House.
Reality could take a lesson from fiction about conscience and courage.
Conscience, that awareness about the difference between right and wrong, and courage, the strength to do the right thing against the pressure to do otherwise, have been missing in this sad and embarrassing affair.
Robert Parham is executive director of the Baptist Center for Ethics.

Mason in the News
Posted: March 20, 2009 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Following are highlights of national news coverage Mason recently received.
Friday, March 13, Washington Post
Inter-American Relations Roiled
"For a swath of the population in Bolivia in particular and the region more generally, the U.S. government is, at a visceral level, an enemy. It is often seen as the 'empire' that for generations has pillaged natural resources or used its diplomats or intelligence services to undermine governments it opposes. George Mason University anthropologist Mark Goodale said the current political moves must be seen in a larger historical context of Bolivia's relationship with the United States. Although 'the United States is an ever-present scapegoat for the problems that continue to plague Bolivia,' he said, 'meddling is what the United States does. . . . This goes back to the Monroe Doctrine. It is embedded in the structural relationship between the United States and Latin America,' said Goodale, who is writing a book about Bolivia. 'One of the things that Morales is trying to do is change that structural relationship.'"

Thoughts on Walking Away from Your Home Loan
"Perhaps you no longer have enough income to pay your loans. Or you can afford the payments but don't qualify for refinancing under the new plan because the value of your home is too far below the balance of the loan. If you're far enough underwater, you're probably questioning the wisdom of writing a monthly check on a place that may take 10 or 15 years to get back to the value it had two or three years ago. In fact, Todd J. Zywicki, a law professor at George Mason University, predicted that FICO may have to adjust its credit scores to lessen the impact of a foreclosure or similar incident. 'It just seems obvious that a foreclosure in 2008 or 2009 doesn't have as much information value as a foreclosure five years ago,' he said. 'To the extent that foreclosure doesn't predict future behavior as much as it did in the past, you'd expect that the FICO algorithm would change to adjust for that.'"

Free Market Meltdown? Economists Fret Over Return to Price Controls
"Proponents say the government has an obligation to provide relief for consumers during these trying economic times. But many economists say controlling prices and rents has failed in the past, and it often has bad consequences. But economists have long memories, and they point to price controls in the past that have had very negative consequences, such as gas lines in the 1970s that were caused by price caps on gasoline that made selling unprofitable. 'You had gas lines in the '70s…. The tougher thing is to think of cases where there was not a shortage due to price controls,' said George Mason University economics professor Tyler Cowen, author of 'Discover Your Inner Economist.'"
Monday, March 16, Washington Post
Very Clever. But Is It a Stimulus?
"Is there one kind of art that's especially good at goosing the economy overall? Start with the lessons of the New Deal. Arts programs during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration employed nearly 40,000 muralists, musicians, writers and actors at a cost of about $160 million. That's more than $2 billion in current dollars, according to George Mason University economist Tyler Cowen. Today's NEA is planning to filter its $50 million through nonprofit groups and state and regional arts agencies. But Cowen said that would waste time and leak valuable cash. The lesson of the New Deal, he said, was: Spend money fast and worry about the art later. 'Hire a lot of people. Do it quickly. Don't obsess over quality,' Cowen said. Some people the program funded produced awful murals. Others just stole the money. Doesn't matter, Cowen said, if the point is getting cash into the economy."
Tuesday, March 17, Washington Post
Small-Business Lending Gets a Boost
"The Obama administration yesterday unveiled a series of measures to help the nation's small businesses, saying it would spend up to $15 billion to help them get the loans they need to weather the economic crisis. Through the Small Business Administration, lenders would see larger profits and take fewer risks than they would through ordinary loan programs. As a result, lenders could steer borrowers into the SBA program even when they qualify for ordinary loans, said Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. 'This is a system that rewards banks,' she said."
Thursday, March 19, Washington Post
Figures Show Migration to Outer D.C. Suburbs Nearly Halting
"Although the District and other inner counties such as Fairfax, Montgomery and Prince George's continued to lose more U.S. residents than they attracted, the loss was substantially less than in previous years. George Mason University economist John McClain said the estimates closely track the housing market's meltdown in Washington's outer suburbs. In Prince William, for instance, median home prices began falling as far back as early 2007, as the number of new units began to outstrip demand. But the bottom truly fell out in the summer of 2007, when the subprime mortgage crisis caused lenders to drastically curtail credit. McClain said those figures suggest newcomers could remain wary of counties such as Prince William for some time. 'If you're a first-time home buyer and hoping to get a 95 percent mortgage, you're not going to buy [in Prince William] for a while because you're worried that in six months your house will be worth less than what you're paying for it,' he said."
Thursday, March 19, Forbes
Spend That Cash
"The real fight over the money supply may be political. Many economists worry that failing to address liquidity today will lead to destabilizing job losses tomorrow — and harebrained schemes to fix the problem. By pushing for Fed expansionism now, they're hoping to avoid new entitlement programs that impose a permanent drag on the economy. 'In answer to the call "Something must be done," people on the right and libertarians say, "Let the Fed do the job," says Alexander Tabarrok, a political economist at George Mason University and coauthor of the popular Marginal Revolution blog. 'Had the Fed acted more appropriately in the Great Depression, we might not have had the New Deal.'"

Yesterday, Jason La Canfora targeted the Jacksonville Jaguars as a likely landing place for Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn, citing multiple NFL sources. Also mentioned as potential teams for Flynn were the Bills and the Raiders. Of the three teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars make far more sense than the Raiders or the Bills. The Raiders have no incentive to top any deal made by the Jaguars to trade for Flynn. The Jaguars drafts second overall, and they would likely pass on Geno Smith if they're able to trade for Flynn by that point. The Raiders draft third overall, meaning Flynn would almost certainly fall to them. The Bills, like the Jaguars, are in the opening stages of rebuilding their team. While it may be an attractive option to bring in Matt Flynn now, it's unlikely that Flynn, or any other quarterback available, could succeed with the Bills at this time. They simply don't have the foundation in place to have any hope of success. The Jaguars do have a foundation in place. If they brought in Flynn, they could spend the second overall pick on an offensive tackle. That pick, combined with current tackle Eugene Monroe, would give the team one of the best offensive tackle tandems in the NFL. The Jaguars have one of the best running backs in the NFL, and they have some solid targets for their quarterbacks, most notable, Cecil Shorts III and Justin Blackmon. There's no guarantee that the Seahawks will deal Matt Flynn. Although he has a huge contract by backup standards, their starting quarterback, Russell Wilson is set to make just over $526,000 in 2013. That allows the Seahawks to drive up the asking price for Matt Flynn. Combine Wilson's low salary with a poor quarterback draft class, and Flynn's value will never be higher. It's because of his value that I do expect Flynn to be traded before the draft, but if the Seahawks decide that he's more valuable as their backup, could you blame them?
