(KMOV.com) – Anheuser-Busch has released more teasers for ads being featured in this year's Super Bowl on Feb. 2.
The latest teasers, which aired on television over the weekend, revolve around the company's new Bud Light tagline, "The Perfect Beer for Whatever Happens."
In addition to two Budweiser Clydesdales ads (which we wrote about last week), Anheuser'-Busch will have two star-studded Bud Light commercials featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Don Cheadle and comedian-musician Reggie Watts.
"Our six Super Bowl ad teasers give viewers a peek behind the curtain, but fans will have to tune-in during the game to see how these seemingly unrelated events form one cohesive story," Bud Light VP Rob McCarthy said in a statement.
McCarthy said the campaign will include "five special cameos."
Anheuser-Busch InBev bought 3.5 minutes of ad time for Super Bowl XLVIII, which according to the New York Times totals around $28 million.
Watch the teasers below or click here if using a mobile device.
Last week, the company announced it will run a follow up to the wildly popular "Brotherhood" ad that aired in 2013 and followed the bond between a Clydesdale and its trainer. The sequel will feature the same trainer and Clydesdale along with a new puppy and will promote Budweiser beer.

You might be a CrossFit or HIIT junkie. If you're not, you probably know someone who is.
High Intensity Interval Training, CrossFit and Sparten workouts are some of the most popular fitness programs of the decade. These killer workouts turn couch potatoes into lean, mean machines in a few weeks and challenge even the most athletic individuals to train outside of their comfort zone.
Doctors are now urging participants to approach these extreme workouts with caution due to an increase in a condition known as rhabdomyolysis that has become more common with their rise in popularity.
What is Rhabdomyolysis (rhabdo)
Rhabdomyolysis takes place when muscle fibers break down and release their contents into the bloodstream which, in severe cases, can lead to kidney failure. There are many causes of rhabdo. The most common are extreme muscle strain from exercise, a crush injury that occurs from a car or other crash, and the use of both legal and illegal drugs.
A quick Google search will lead you to numerous stories about people who went to a fitness class, pushed themselves to the limits and wound up in the hospital the next day. Jay Armitage, who was interviewed by Global News, says she came down with rhabdo after attending her first Spartan workout class.
She describes the workout as being like nothing she had ever done before. "We're talking kettle bells, we're talking burpees, endless amounts of using your own body weight to do sumo squats, push-ups and it just went on . . . .," Armitage said.
The next day she was in such agony she couldn't move her arms to do her hair or dress herself. She was in incredible pain and she noticed her arms were swollen. Armitage was diagnosed with rhabdo and hospitalized. In the hospital she was hooked up to IV fluids to flush the muscle tissue out of the blood and was closely monitored for kidney and liver failure. A nurse that was treating Armitage said her Creatine Kinase (CK) levels were hovering around 95,000.
A CK test measures the amount of the protein, creatine kinase, in your blood. Normal levels are between 120 and 150. Levels outside of the normal range can end up damaging the kidneys. Sometimes that damage is irreversible.
Symptoms of Rhabdo
The symptoms are very similar to those experienced by Armitage:
- Painful, swollen, bruised or tender areas of the body
- Muscle weakness or trouble moving arms and legs
- General feeling of illness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Confusion, dehydration, fever, or lack of consciousness
- Dark-colored urine, reduced or no urine output.
Early diagnosis of rhabdo can lead to good outcomes. Outside of spending a couple of unpleasant days in the hospital, most people with rhabdo can expect to have a full recovery although there are personal stories on the internet that tell a grimmer tale of people with extreme cases that have long term muscle and kidney damage.
Rhabdo doesn't just occur after an intense CrossFit, Sparten or boot camp workout. Runners, weight lifters and athletes can also suffer from muscle tissue melt down. In 2011 the University of Iowa had 13 of their football players hospitalized early in the training season after an extreme strengthening workout.
Experts agree physically fit people don't have to worry about rhabdo as much as the weekend warrior or a person just starting into a fitness program does. However, the effects of rhabdo can be even more dangerous for an athlete because there is more muscle available that can break down, therefore more tissue available to get into the bloodstream.
They also agree that it is up to fitness trainers and instructors to warn their participants of the risks of over doing it and coach them to start slow and work up to their goal.
What This Means For You
This article wasn't written to condemn CrossFit, HIIT or boot camp workouts. I'm a big fan of all three and admit that I find myself in the no-pain-no-gain category when it comes to exercise. But, after researching this sometimes fatal condition, I plan to do a better job of checking myself when I find I want to push someone too far or tell them that they can do something that they may not be ready for. I think I owe that to them.
As a participant, you owe it to yourself to stay in tune with what you can and cannot do and not cross that line because of peer pressure or an overzealous fitness instructor.

A Small Version of the Grand Narrative
A response to Ajith Fernando's 'To Serve Is to Suffer'
To facilitate a truly global conversation, we ask Christian leaders from around the world to respond to the Global Conversation's lead articles.

Paul talks about suffering as being a gift Philippians 1:29 that accompanies our belief in Christ. To suffer is about apart of our ministry and calling.
"Churches committed to programs can grow numerically, but they don't nurture biblical Christians who understand the implications of belonging to the body of Christ." This is altogether too true of the church today. The church is too concerned with power and growth financially and numerically. Of course one wants the church to grow numerically, if those numbers truly reflect the amount of souls and hearts that are trandformed to Jesus. Growth for the skae of growth is a lie to ourselves and the people around us. If we labor for months and one live is saved for Jesus should we not rejoice for that one the same no matter what the circumstances? As to the idea of suffering, I think we must see suffering as two fold. We must see the suffering of the unredeemed world different from the suffering of a witness to Christ. As Sarah's comment just below expresses, God does not necessarily want for people to suffer. That is why we are called to do Jesus' minisrty of healing and freeing people from bondage and oppression. But in doing so, the ones who witness to Christ will suffer and be persecuted. As one's suffering is alleviated another may have to endure. Sound familiar? Jesus endured the pain of our transgressions to save us. As disciples of Christ, we may need to endure pain, persecution, and suffering in order to free others from their's.
Thank you so much for this Mr. Fernando. While I'm sure that the suffering and frustration that I've witnessed and experienced as a Christian in the United States in minuscule compared to what you deal with, it's a huge encouragement to hear your opinion on it. It seems like I often get the message that if a person or ministry is suffering, or having technical or financial troubles, then it is because they are doing something wrong and should change the error in their ways in order to be "blessed." I've always felt that this was not true, but it is tiring to hear again and again. So thank you again for this article.
Jessalyn Huffman
I agree completely with what this article has to say about suffering. Christians are not to avoid or fear suffering. How un-Christlike! If we are truly following Christ we will embrace suffering the way he did, with joy and gladness. For the sake of the lost and the glory of the Father, Jesus became the suffering servant, taking on all sin and pain. As his imitators, we can expect to partake in his suffering, becoming like him in his death, and through that exercise to know the power of his resurrection.

Mathieu Flamini claims he was sent off for a horror tackle on Juan Camilo Zuniga "because I wanted to prove to everyone I'm worthy of the Milan shirt."
The Frenchman had scored the opening goal in this 1-1 draw [12] with Napoli, but was then shown a straight red card for his two-footed challenge.
"I am happy for the goal, especially as it was my second in as many games, but I am disappointed at the red card," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"The tackle was so determined because I wanted to prove to everyone that I am a player again, full of enthusiasm and someone who is worthy of the Milan shirt.
"It was a mistake to leave the team with 10 men, but I had so much hunger and determination that these things can happen in football."
Flamini hinted this week he could leave San Siro for a return to France.
"I just said 'never say never' with regards to the possibility of moving to Marseille."

You can guess what happened next; they forwarded them to more boys and now the police are involved in this sexting scandal.
Wyckoff police have issued a warning to students at Eisenhower Middle School: delete any explicit photos on your phones by Thursday morning or face child pornography charges.
"We think that by making this a learning experience instead of arresting and charging people that there's a lot to be learned here," said Chief Benjamin Fox, of the Wyckoff Police Department.
Wyckoff Police know that dozens of students have viewed the explicit photos a 13-year-old girl took of herself and then sexted to several boys.
The sext got forwarded around until a teacher heard about it and called police.
"A lot of people are talking about it, it's a big deal now, whoever has that picture now is deleting the picture," said Goldie Felixbrod, a student.
In a letter sent home, police are asking parents to talk to their children about the dangers of sexting.
"I have an 11-year-old son, we're always looking over his shoulder, we keep him busy all the time, and that would never happen in my house," said Kevin Kohler, a parent.
Officials recommend that parents check their teenagers' photos and texts.
"I check my children's phones, I check the computers, I try to talk to them," said Tricia Dugan, a parent.
Julia's mother checks her phone every night.
I put my phone on her desk and she can check it, so I don't care because I don't have much to hide," said Julia Sancetta, a 7th grader.
But other parents expressed reservations about reading what some teens feel amounts to a modern-day diary.
"I try not to invade their privacy, but maybe I should be doing more of that," said Jim Fuhrman, a parent.
There was a similar incident in Wyckoff three years ago and this has been an issue in schools all over the country.
Police say it's always worth a reminder to warn your child about the dangers of sexting.

Yeah, Angie is one of my favorites! Must hunt up that old RS CD...thanks!

He will win ! Or else we may not see him again, how sad. Let's start a fan club/site.Originally Posted by BaBySpiCe
People who want JD or Marty to win don't know what is good for INXS and only want them to win for the sake of their favourite rockers and don't have INXS future in mind. They are passionate JD & Marty fans, but not passionate INXS fans. They think this is AI.
In the faint possibility MiG doesn't win, at least I hope he sings my favourite INXS song, Original Sin, in the finale. That would make the finale worthwhile. But they may not showcase this song because ppl may not think it's PC, although that's not in the meaning of the song.
I would be very sad if either of the other 2 rockers get the gig. Well ! INXS deserves that Elvis Impersonator if they pick him, and they would regret it. JD is such a mediocre singer. And so is Marty but at least I like Marty, he is not insincere.

MiG's fans may like to know. A website is being worked on. In the meantime,
Wow, I respectfully disagree - Marty could benefit INXS immensely by bringing them a modern sound, which would be nicely balanced by Andrew's experience - as well as with other writers and producers, like Bono. Don't forget, Marty does like INXS and isn't totally about grunge rock.Originally Posted by OriginalSinner
JD - he's a different ball of wax but he loves INXS passionately and can do a lot of their back catalog really well. Plus he's pretty gifted with rearranging songs to give them a harder feel.
Both Marty and JD can take INXS to places that MiG hasn't really shown us that he can. We've only seen MiG rearrange a song once, and we're not so sure of his songwriting abilities and how they mesh with INXS.
Plus MiG needs a little more bass in his voice. He's hot but pitch is often too high, too poppish. If anything MiG is the most AI of these guys.
I me some Marty Casey. Go Marty!
Gotta sound in with my opinion, for what it's worth.
Mig has a vocal resemblance to Michael Hutchence. He's obviously the best choice vically for their catalog, which he demonstrated this week.
However, the band has said they want to go a new direction. Thus Marty or JD would seem more what they're looking for. But if they truly wanted to change directions, why use the catch phrase that, "You're not right for our band, INXS"? Not being right for the band implies the band as is.
I believe the only thing Mig has going against is his theatrical background. Whoever wins, I hope they all three get recording contracts. I mean, John Stevens released an album this summer... Come on! LOL I'd buy Mig or Marty with or without INXS attached.
I see your point of view but beg to differ. Marty is not very original, grant you, he got a mesmerising look when he sings and can hold your attention. But his voice is severely lacking, and his style does not blend well with INXS. Trees is a very simplistic song that kids in the nursery can learn, and the words are simply BAD, in one word. Don't care for that song.Originally Posted by Siryn
JD is gifted ? He has achieved the least career-wise of the remaining rockers. The best compliment I can pay him is that he will do very well in Las Vegas doing Elvis impersonation after the show publicity. We get enough of the bad boy, difficult-to-work-with artistes, in the industry, I know that for a fact. They annoy the hell out of people working around them. I know Australians (lived here for most part of my life), and they don't appreciate such a person. INXS, is Australian, and would feel the same
MiG has lots of fans who will definitely support INXS if he is chosen. He will bring lots of new fans and admirers to the new look INXS. He is a stellar performer, and no one comes close. Good voice and all-round nice guy, easy on the eye as well, very entertaining and versatile. Just because he sings ballads well doesn't mean he can't rock. Try getting Marty or JD to sing Kiss from a Rose. INXS challenged him with that song and he passed with flying colours. He has heart, sing from the soul and it shows.
My point regarding AI is that fans vote for their favorites without thinking of the big picture, and forgetting that their favourites may not be good for INXS

Jealousy - The Green Eyed Guardian Of Honor
( Originally Published 1918 )
JEALOUSY is generally portrayed to us as a terrible demon who takes possession of the unfortunate individual, wrecking life and home and happiness in a manner that might almost be called insane. This is without doubt jealousy in the abnormal, but we must remember that, like everything else, jealousy has its normal as well as its abnormal aspect.
We say, for example, that a man is jealous of his reputation, meaning, that he holds it in such regard that he will go to any extreme to protect it from injury. We hear, also, of a mother who is jealous for the good name of her daughter, and in both instances we recognize the jealousy as being normal and proper.
Turning to the dictionary we may find additional light upon the subject. Here we learn that the word "jealousy" comes from exactly the same root as zealous, which conveys the idea of ardor, enthusiastic devotion, either to a cause or to a person.
Jealousy, then, in its normal form, would mean the state of being ardently and anxiously suspicious, vigilant in guarding, watchful. Only in the, abnormal could it be considered as being distrustful as to the fidelity of wife, husband or lover, or revengeful on account of fickle treatment or slighted love.
It is right for the husband to be jealous of the good name of his wife, for the wife to be jealous of the reputation of her husband. They are mutual guardians of each other, and in that relationship can be of incalculable benefit to each other. The wife, for example, may not realize that her care-free, playful manner of meeting her men friends may lead to censure on the part of those who do not understand her. She has been a good comrade to these masculine friends, it may be for years before her marriage, and she sees no harm in continuing the friendly relation. Her husband may agree with her in principle, but, being jealous for her good name, he realizes that it is necessary to take into account to some degree the possible misunderstandings of other people. It is not because he lacks confidence in her love for him that he speaks the wise word of admonition to her, but simply in order that she may not allow her good name to be evilly spoken of by those who do not understand. Such words of careful warning from a devoted -husband should be given careful attention by an appreciative wife.
On the other hand, many men, with the best of intentions, are more or less prone to allow them-selves little liberties, now that they are safely married, with some of the younger girls, it may be. They have nothing but the kindest intentions in their hearts, and they are not in the slightest degree untrue to their wives. Yet, properly jealous of their reputations, their wives may be justified in calling to their attention the unwisdom of such behavior.
There is another aspect of this matter, which it is also well to take into consideration. The young wife, for example, may perceive at once the danger to young girls which come from allowing these little liberties to any man. It is a letting down of the barriers which form the young girl's greatest safeguard. Not only so, but it may result in arousing in her a feeling of admiration for this older man which she may consider to be love, and which may ultimately place them both in a very dangerous position. At any rate, it is not fair to her to have her feelings aroused by one who cannot return them; and so, for the sake of the girl, the wife should make plain to her husband the wrongness of his course.
The same is equally true of the wife. Her free and easy ways may stir some young man's heart and bring to him suffering which he does not de-serve. As the guardian of her honor, her husband has a right to exercise the prerogative of a normal and unselfish jealousy and warn her of the dangers which he sees about her.
Without any doubt, this feeling of jealousy has been implanted in the human heart as an aid to the maintenance of the integrity of the home. The human race has learned that the greatest good to the greatest number comes through the monogamous marriage, and the instinct of jealousy has doubtless been implanted in the human breast as an aid to the maintenance of that standard of life. It is the duty of each to see that no one is allowed to enter the life of the other who will draw him or her away from the pathway of complete devotion to home and family.
This does not mean, however, that jealousy should be allowed to assume undue proportions. The husband whose suspicious nature is so highly developed that he cannot see his wife speak casually with another man without being driven into a rage is in an abnormal state which he should overcome. His extreme proneness to distrust her would cause a careful observer to be suspicious of him. It is the one who himself is untrue who is always suspecting falsity in others. If he is hiding some of his actions from her, it is natural that he should suspect that she is being equally deceitful with him. The wife who is under the dominance of an abnormally jealous man should be aware of this fact, because this knowledge may prove to be her only weapon of defense in his unjust attacks. Let her turn upon him with the pertinent query, "What have you done that you should be so suspicious of me?"
Abnormal jealousy on the part of the wife would probably be an indication of similar deceitfulness on her part. Abnormal jealousy makes life a hell upon earth for both husband and wife, and as soon as it raises its head it should be scotched at once. If allowed to develop, it will eventually wreck the home.
There should be enough mutual confidence so that both husband and wife may have pleasing friendships among 'those of the opposite sex, while at the same time the normal expression of jealousy will serve to protect them from any unwise intimacies.
It is true that, if men and women are associated intimately together for a good deal of time, there is a danger that the fundamental attraction between the sexes may make itself felt, and interfere more or less seriously with their home relationships. For this reason, it is well for each to listen with consideration to the husband or wife who sees that such a serious result is likely to develop. Even though the one involved is not able to see at the time how dangerous the situation really is, nevertheless true love will lead to a generous sacrifice of the friendship in order to save a loving heart the least bit of uneasiness.
We must realize that the love of the sexes is a very practical matter with a definite purpose, namely, the perpetuation of the life of the race. Marital unions must be made permanent for the sake of the children, and jealousy is one of the attributes of human nature which has this for its end and aim. In its rightful place, therefore, when properly controlled and directed, jealousy may well be considered as the guardian of family honor.

Eastlake Drive-In
34280 Vine Street,
3 people favorited this theater
A Wal-Mart occupies the site of the former Eastlake Drive-In, as well as a small shopping center. Prior to Wal-Mart, a Wholesale Club, later a Sam's Club, occupied the building constructed after the drive-in closed.
Recent comments (view all 6 comments)
EastLake Drive-In opened in summer of 1950. It could hold 1,000 (16 ramps) CARS. The Concession Stand had 50 Seats in case it rained. Later in the 60's the seats were removed to make concession bigger with two lines to server people faster. The play ground had two (2)sets of swings (w/8 swings each), two (2)sliding boards, and a merry-go-round that you would push, it also had a coo-coo TRAIN w/3cars to pick-up children from the cars & bring them back before the movie would start. (The TRAIN stopped in 1969 for insurance reason) ! IN 1960's they open a MINIATURE GOLF & GAME ROOM, for family to come early and have fun, before the movie started & continue until the Drive-In closed. 1975 started a FLEE MARKET on Sat.& Sun. from 8AM til 5PM. it would bring about 100 sellers & around 1,000 Buyers , which continue until closing. On the 4 of July you could see the fireworks from North High School, down the street from over the screen tower. (that was FUN). THE EASTLAKE DRIVE-IN CLOSED FOR GOOD In NOVEMBER 1986……. Sign…..HeadUser Mike Barnhart (1974-1986)……. P.S. I'll add pictures when I find them…
Was mentioned in the documentary "Drive-In Movie Memories" in 2001.
Here is a May 1963 ad from the Willoughby News-Herald:
My 1956 motion Picture Almanac has it parking 500 cars and was owned at that time by East Lake Drive-In Theatres.
I worked in the concession stand during the mid-to-late 70s. I particularly recall the pizzas we used to make with their cardboard-like crust. They were awful, except for the pepperoni, which we would snack on occasionally by grabbing big handfuls from the giant plastic bag it shipped in. We made popcorn up until the movie started and just before intermission, whether we needed to or not, just to get the aroma permeating inside the stand and out — the hope was to make people hungrier. Heat lamps kept all prepared food warm, but they also attracted all sorts of bugs which would die and fall into the food. As phil2039 writes, the concession stand did have two lines but rarely operated at the same time unless we had a big draw, like Smokey and the Bandit (three nights of sellouts). The operator didn't use a cash register or adding machine — prices were added up in the cashiers head! I was asked to this occasionally, and can attest, it's very difficult. Besides being quick in addition you had to know all the prices by memory. And when someone questioned the total you had to do it all over again. I can still picture my co-workers, the ushers, the GM (wore the worst rug ever), the owners and the ticket-taker but am at a loss for their names. Hi to you all. It was a great time in my life and I had fun knowing and working with you all.
My brother worked there and drove the train. Hilarious. He also had to get kids parked past the movies end to leave. I was there as a kid and then later took dates there, Euclid Drive Inn and Mentor Drive inn on a regular basis. Cheap date and fun in the back seat. If you wanted pizza you picked one up from Biagios on Vine street a mile or so toward Willoughby. Sure wish they still existed, although it wouldn't be as much fun as it was as a kid and teen.

A basic understanding of teamwork theory can
help you develop a high-performing project team.
For many companies, when a project starts it will be staffed with a new team. Some of the team members may have worked with each other in previous projects, but as a whole, the team is new.
As the project manager for a newly formed team, you will want to help them get to an effective and high-performing state as quickly as possible. Understanding the stages of group development can help you build a cohesive team that gets results.
One of the most influential models of teamwork theory was developed in 1965 by Bruce Tuckman. His original model identified four stages that all groups pass through as they move from "newly formed" to "high-performance" teams. In 1977, he revised the model to include a fifth stage. Those stages are Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning.
The Tuckman Model of Group Development
Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, & Adjourning
During the Forming stage, members of the project team meet each other and learn about the tasks they will need to perform. Team members will try to see how they fit in with each other and understand what is expected of them.
During this stage, it is critical for the project manager to provide structure and direction for the team. Clearly defining the project's objectives and making sure each team member understands their role and responsibilities will help you lead the team through this stage successfully.
The Storming stage is characterized by interpersonal issues such as conflict and polarization. During this stage it is common for team members to challenge each other, including the project manager! Team members will also question what they are doing and how it is being done.
As the project manager, this will likely be the most challenging time leading your project. Understanding that this type of conflict is normal for any team will help you pass through this stage successfully.
During this stage, some of the skills that will help you build your team are conflict management, active listening, and relationship building. It is also important for you to be assertive, confident, and positive during this stage, especially if some of the team members are challenging your leadership.
As conflicts become less intense and the team members begin to understand and accept each other, the team will gradually move into the Norming stage. It is during this stage that your team starts to come together and is able to focus more effectively on the project tasks and objectives.
During this stage, you will want to focus on keeping everyone moving in the right direction. Communication and constructive feedback will help you do this. You can continue your team building efforts by arranging social events with the team and making sure to give positive recognition to team members.
In the Performing stage, team members are comfortable with each other and group norms have been accepted. Interpersonal and structural issues have been settled and support task performance. Team synergy is high during this stage which results in high performance.
Now that the team is performing at a high level, you will be able to focus more of your energy on leadership activities and less on supervisory activities. This level of synergy amplifies the overall effectiveness of your project.
As the project comes to an end, the team moves into the Adjourning stage. At this point, the team has become very close and many of the team members will feel a sense of loss. For this reason, this stage is also known as the Mourning stage.
As the project manager, it is important that you arrange for a celebration to recognize the team's accomplishments. This will close the project on a positive note. Plus, you never know when you will work with some of these same people on a future project you are leading. They'll remember the recognition and appreciation you showed them on this project.

The Tuckman model is one of the most influential models of teamwork theory. Understanding its five stages of group development can help you develop a high performing project team.

I remember hearing the term, "melting pot" used to describe America. That was back in the '60s.
The idea was that America takes all sorts of disparate human parts from Europe, Africa, and Asia, and melts them down into an ingot called an American. All traces of your old self were to disappear as you took on the new identity.
That was the theory. Of course, America was "whiter" back then.
Now, depending on who you listen to America either soon will, or already has passed the point where European Americans are the majority.
And there are other significant changes. We no longer pretend that one loses their ethnic identiity in becoming an American. Whether that is healthy or not, I don't know, but it feels more realistic in any case. Pretending is not usually a good thing.
At the same time, look at our sports teams: in the Stanley Cup we have the Boston Bruins with a Finn in goal, Slovak-Ukrainian-German and Canadian defensemen, on offense a Serb, a Czech and some more Canadians. Over at Fenway park it is even more pronounced with Japanese, Domincans, other Latinos, African-Americans, the only Navajo ever to play in the majors (Jacoby Ellsbury), and even a sprinkling of Euro-Americans on the 25 man roster. In a sense, it feels very melting pottish. They may not all be Americans, but it is a case of many ethnicities coming together, working together in an almost 1960's U.N. kind of ideal.
Last week I tuned into the Daily Show to catch the "real" news and there's British comedian/actor John Oliver filling in for Jon Stewart and hosting the editor of Time magazine - Indian born Fareed Zakaria. It was a truly international conversation with humor coming from Oliver "apologizing" to Zakaria for 19th century British Imperial attitudes and deeds and "bad map drawing" (the partitiion of India/Pakistan). It was a briliiant conversation and I felt like an old fart from a dim past where only white guys talked to white guys on the news about what strange people were doing to each other in far off lands. But now here's the "strange people" on TV neither looking nor sounding strange. And best of all, it matters that these two are not white Americans mainly in how it influences their ability to speak about important issues with first hand knowledge and with grace and humor.
I think this is a good thing.

well said..
Thinking about this sent me in search of the poem at the Stature of Liberty. It's called the New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It's quite a statement.

One of the most frequent topics small business owners raise with me as I travel Kansas and visit their factories and offices is the burden of federal regulations. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), businesses with fewer than 20 employees spend more than $10,000 per year per employee, to comply with federal regulations. I am working in Washington to prevent the implementation of costly new regulations like the Utility MACT rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -- the most expensive regulation ever proposed by the EPA, which would raise utility costs for Kansas small businesses. I am also working to reform the regulatory process so that the costs and benefits of new regulation are studied before a rule is implemented.
If you are a small business owner who has suffered from excessive federal fines, penalties, or unfair regulatory enforcement, you can report the incident to the SBA Office of the National Ombudsman. This office assists small businesses with unfair and excessive regulatory enforcement by federal agencies and coordinates regional regulatory fairness boards that report cases of unfair regulatory enforcement.
Freeing small businesses from the web of federal regulatory enforcement will allow business owners to invest more of their resources in growing their business and hiring new employees.

Soul Sister's 'Gem Sessions' : A 'diamond in the rough'
9th September 2013 · 0 Comments
By Geraldine Wyckoff
Contributing Writer
When Melissa Weber aka DJ Soul Sister noticed that noted modern jazz vibraphonist and drummer Warren Wolf and his group Wolfpack was going to be playing in Lafayette in early September but not making it to New Orleans she was justifiably upset. It just didn't make any sense.
"When I see artists playing in Houston and Atlanta and this and that, it hurts my feelings that I can't see them here," Weber complains. "If they're touring, and they're playing close by, there is no reason why the birthplace of jazz should not be one of their mandatory stops."So, rather than just beef about it, Weber decided to take action. The happy result is that Warren Wolf and Wolfpack will perform at the Little Gem Saloon on Thursday, September 12. The show, which will be presented in the club's 85-seat, upstairs Ramp Room, acts as the kickoff to the new, monthly series, the Gem Sessions with Weber acting as curator.
"For years, I've been talking about the lack of national jazz acts performing in New Orleans," says Weber who has been successful creating a stir dejaying events as the hip Soul Sister. "This is the way I make my own parties happen. I want to present another thing – this is just an extension of that. The musicians all want to come here."
Weber, a soul, groove aficionado who confesses to just recently getting into modern jazz, had good eyes when spotting Wolf's arrival in Lafayette. While the mufti-instrumentalist isn't necessarily a household name, his creds are impressive and his talents limitless.
Unknowingly, in keeping with the theme of the Gem Sessions, the renowned bassist Christian McBride, with whom Wolf performs, tours and records, once declared, " Warren is a gem."
The date at the Little Gem Saloon, at 445 South Rampart Street, a historic locale in New Orleans jazz history, marks the first time Wolf, 34, will perform as leader in this city. A hugely talent artist, Warren enjoys many connections to the city, recording and playing with our well-known modern jazz purveyors such as trumpeters Nicholas Payton and Wynton Marsalis (with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra) and drummer Adonis Rose.
Wolf was genuinely excited that he could dip down to New Orleans to perform here as most of his gigs take him from the East Coast to the West Coast with stops in the Midwest and voyages to Europe.
"I've just become a leader in the last two years," says Wolf whose work now includes tours as leader, with McBride and the SF Jazz Collective.
It could be perceived that the popularity of the vibes is on the rise in the jazz world. That may be due locally to the success of New Orleans vibraphonist Jason Marsalis, who, like Wolf, also excels on drums, and James Westfall. Nationally renowned vibraphonist Stefon Harris has also gained a loyal following at his numerous performances in the city.
"It's popular as far as fans go," agrees Wolf. "You have these bright, colorful mallets and they're hitting this instrument and out comes a very pretty sound. It's (the vibes) still uncommon though because in school you don't hear, 'Why don't you try vibes?'"
Wolf, who performs with his touring band that includes bassist Kris Funn and drummer Billy Williams, both of whom are heard on his latest album, Wolfgang, and pianist Alex Brown. As he always does when leading his own group, Wolf will be playing vibes. But you never know about this self-proclaimed "entertainer." He might move over to the drums or the piano as he's also a master of these instruments.
"I like to bring out the drums as well as the piano on gigs as more of a special attraction," he says. "To me, it adds to the show."
Being a drummer himself, giving grit to such stars as eclectic pianist Robert Glasper, Wolf enjoys having a percussionist that stands out such as Williams. "I like to have drummers that play as much as me," he declares. "When the drums come alive, I become alive even more. The way I play vibes very much comes from my drumming. I bring a rhythmic attack to the vibes."
On Wolf's first, heralded self-titled album on Mack Avenue, he says, he went for a no holds barred approach. His latest CD, Wolfgang, displays the more laid-back, melodic and classical side of Wolf, which, he says is an attempt to reach out melodically to the every day people. At his gig at the Little Gem Saloon, he promises to offer the material and vibe of both recordings.
One of Warren Wolf's goals is to try to record with all of his favorite musicians. He's well on his way having been in the studio with the great, already missed, pianist Mulgrew Miller, killer drummers Jeff "Tain" Watts and Lewis Nash and more. "Right on top of my list are (pianists) Chic Corea and Herbie Hancock," says the ambitious, energetic and superlative musician, Warren Wolf. He will also share his knowledge with students at a Masters' Class at Loyola University on Wednesday, September 11.
"I love playing with my own band," Wolf says in appreciation of having the opportunity to bring his touring group to the Little Gem Saloon. "It brings out the fire. You can truly hear what my sound is like in context."
Show times for Thursday's "Gem Sessions" event with Warren Wolf and Wolfpack are 7:30 and 10 p.m. For more information go to www.littlegemsaloon.com.

Olympics in the News: Talk about Tokyo
The International Olympic Committee has been in the news a lot these past few days, so I simply had to blog about it! The Olympics were mugging for the headlines when it was announced that Tokyo won the 2020 Olympic bid.
1964 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan
The last time the international community used "Tokyo" and "Olympics" in the same conversation, it was for the 1964 Summer Olympic Games.
These Olympics were an important step for Japan as they followed a tough period in world history that included World War II, were the first Olympics ever held in Asia, and a precarious time for apartheid in South Africa. Fifty-six years later, Tokyo will again host the Olympic Games; much has changed in the world since that time. Japan has in the past few years experienced both a horrific tsunami and the tragedy at Fukushima, but they now stand strong.
The Vote
There are a few things that I think Japan will really do right when it comes to hosting the Olympic Games. When I was in Tokyo, I was constantly amazed by the technology that surrounded me and the way it was seamlessly integrated into society. If we were dumbfounded by the sheer amount of people participating simultaneously in the Beijing Opening Ceremony, then I believe we will be twice as amazed at the way that technology is integrated in the show that Tokyo puts together. Furthermore, Japanese athletes have spotless doping records, which is one of the main sporting debates going on today.
As a researcher of Olympic host cities and why they are chosen, I looked up on my trusty source GamesBids.com what those reasons might be. Tokyo was up against Madrid and Istanbul in the final voting rounds. When extrapolating which city I thought would win, I was sure that Istanbul would be a strong contender, but that if they didn't win, that Madrid would be chosen. I thought that Beijing and Rio were indicators of the direction that the IOC would be moving in for future host city choices. Countries that fall under the category of "developing" but have many of the features of the traditional developed countries seemed to be the trend for Olympic host cities (or at least I hoped it would be). Istanbul was my top choice because Turkey is in a relatively volatile position right now as it teeters between these two categories. However, Turkey can blame its neighbors, in part, for the loss; unstable countries nearby can definitely affect an IOC vote. I thought that Madrid might have been the next possible choice because of the long-term benefits that Barcelona saw from the 1992 Games. Spain's financial risk is what caused its loss.
To me, Tokyo was a surprise, but to the voting members, it was the clear choice. Tokyo was ahead in voting rounds from the beginning and won with a vote of 60 over Istanbul's 36 in the final round.
The 2020 Summer Olympic Games
Regardless of who I thought would win, I am very excited for the Tokyo Olympics. Japan is close to my heart because I have been there on two separate occasions and work closely with Broomfield Sister Cities to bring Japanese students to Colorado, and vise versa.
|2020 Olympic venue concept from dezeen.com
Tokyo will have the special opportunity to build on the successful legacy of the 1964 Games and create something even more spectacular that puts Japan on the map once again.

My son stole my jewellery and has taken money from neighbours to pay dealers
ONE mother addressed last Monday's public meeting in Roscrea detailing her son's drug abuse and how it has devastated her family.
Her son has stolen from his immediate family, his grandparents and his neighbours, smashed the family home and been a "nightmare" to live with.
She's watched him change from being a lovable, affectionate child to an aggressive and violent adult to whom she's afraid to talk because of the torrent of abuse she'll get in return.
She's had all her jewellery stolen except for her wedding ring and has had to find the money and borrow from her family to pay back what he's stolen from neighbours to pay his drug debts.
Her son has admitted his use of cocaine and that he "can't go without it". He has undergone residential treatment for his alcohol addiction.
He has told them the people he owes money to have threatened to burn down their home.
Still she wasn't afraid to stand before her community and admit what has been going on in her home for over three years.
"I won't back away from a dealer because what they're doing is wrong. They're after destroying lives and it's just not fair," she told the Irish Independent.
"I've known for a long time what's going on, where it's going on and I know how it's going on and I also know the people involved."
She realises her son's problems are symptomatic of a town blighted by high unemployment where there is nothing for young people to do.
"When I was young there were three big employers in this town, Offray, Antigen Pharmaceutical and the bacon factory but they're all gone now," she said.
"You got up, went to work and by the time you got home all you were fit for was bed."

How will the health-care overhaul change Iowa's insurance landscape?

How will the health-care overhaul change Iowa's insurance landscape?
10 commonly asked questions about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
About 12 percent of Iowa's population does not have health insurance coverage. For the majority of Iowans who do have coverage, premiums have increased at an average rate of 10 percent annually for the past decade. Whether the federal health-care overhaul can achieve the goal of reducing the uninsured population – and at the same time at least slowing the rate of increase in premiums for group and individual policyholders – remains the big question. Here are some key issues your business needs to know about how the health insurance market will change under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or if you prefer, "Obamacare."
What's the health insurance market like now in Iowa?
When people think about health insurance in Iowa, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield quickly comes to mind, and for good reason. The Des Moines-based insurer dominates the Iowa market, covering nearly 1.8 million customers through group, individual, Medicaid and Medicare policies. Two other companies, UnitedHealthcare and Coventry Health Care of Iowa, are the next-largest group insurers in the state, though neither has more than a 10 percent market share in the state.
Nationally, the health insurance market has been dominated by large companies such as UnitedHealth Group Inc., Aetna Inc. and Wellpoint Inc., and the passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010 has accelerated that trend. Since then, several major insurers have announced mergers or acquisitions, the most recent being Aetna's announcement last month that it will purchase Coventry for $5.6 billion.
Several other insurers, among them Des Moines-based American Republic Insurance Co. and Principal Financial Group Inc., in the past two years have decided to leave the health insurance market rather than try to compete in a market more heavily laden with government regulations and oversight.
To encourage additional competition within the new health-care exchanges it mandates, the Affordable Care Act authorized a low-interest federal loan program to seed new nonprofit insurance companies around the country. In Iowa, an organization called CoOportunity received a $112 million federal loan to launch a cooperative health insurance company. The organization is among seven ventures that received a portion of $3.4 billion in loans to set up insurance companies. CoOportunity hopes to capture 5 percent of the Iowa health insurance market within its first five years.
Does Wellmark's dominance in Iowa affect rates? When Wellmark requested state approval to increase premiums last fall, the Iowa Insurance Division commissioned two independent studies, one to address that question and another to gauge the appropriateness of Wellmark's more than $1 billion financial surplus. The first study concluded that premiums were not affected by Wellmark's market share, although Wellmark's dominance "could potentially impact Iowa consumers by limiting their choice of health insurance companies." The second study determined that it's likely Wellmark will have to increase, not decrease, its financial reserves in response to new mandates in the health-care overhaul law.
What other changes will affect the health insurance market by 1.1.2014?
• Waiting periods: Employer group health plans may not impose waiting periods longer than 90 days.
• Pre-existing conditions: Exclusions for pre-existing conditions may no longer be imposed by group plans.
• Annual dollar limits: Group plans may not impose annual dollar limits on essential health benefits.

What will be the biggest changes in the health insurance market?
Although a number of mandates will go into effect through Jan. 1, 2014, the biggest systemic change is expected to be the creation of state- or federally operated health insurance exchanges. Iowa has received more than $33 million in federal grants to establish the computer infrastructure for such an online purchasing exchange. However, Gov. Terry Branstad is expected to wait until a Nov. 16 deadline to decide whether the state will operate its own exchange or have the federal government do it. At least 15 states have already set up their own exchanges with plans to operate them.
The good news for insurance companies is that their market could potentially expand by as many as 23 million new customers who will be required to obtain coverage under the individual mandate provision of the law on Jan. 1, 2014. Under the individual mandate, individuals who don't purchase health coverage or get it through their employer will be subject to a fine from the Internal Revenue Service.
The exchanges are meant to provide an online tool for individuals and small business owners to compare different insurers' health coverage offerings and to purchase a policy.
Meanwhile, officials at Wellmark say they have not decided whether the company will participate by offering its policies on the exchange, saying there is still insufficient information to know whether the exchange will be beneficial to Wellmark or its customers.
What will happen to insurance rates?
The short answer is: No one knows for sure.
The premise of requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance or have it provided by their employer is that adding healthier people who aren't presently insured to the insurance pool will decrease risk overall and drive down rates.
From an insurance broker's perspective, however, a $95 tax penalty for not purchasing health coverage is unlikely to compel many people to buy insurance.
"I think there are a lot of people not buying insurance today who will continue not to buy, regardless of what the penalty is," said Steve Gooding, president of Reynolds & Reynolds Inc. "And a large percentage of that population isn't filing taxes or paying anything, anyway, so how is (the federal government) going to get that penalty?"
Similarly, the penalty for a household that doesn't purchase family coverage in 2016 will be $2,085 annually, a "pittance to what a family health insurance policy actually costs," Gooding said. "So I think as this all unfolds, we're going to see penalties become more significant to fund the health-care system that is expressed in the Affordable Care Act. So I think employers are bracing for those $2,000 or $3,000 penalties to go up exponentially."
The average family policy premium in Iowa was $13,295 in 2011 and is projected to increase to $21,607 by 2016, according to data from Clive-based David P. Lind Benchmark.
According to a national survey of 500 health insurance agents and brokers released in June, most are expecting steep increases in premiums. Nearly 40 percent of agents responding said they expect premiums to increase between 11 and 20 percent in the next year; another third expected smaller increases of between 6 and 10 percent. Deductibles are also increasing: about half of agents (51 percent) report that currently, the most common deductible range for single coverage plans is $2,000 or more, compared with one in five who say deductibles were in this range two years ago.
Who gets subsidies?
People who don't have insurance and who earn less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level – about $92,000 for a family of four in 2014 – will be eligible for federal income tax subsidies to help them afford insurance. Workers whose employers don't offer what's deemed as "affordable" group coverage under the law - premiums that are less than 9.5 percent of their pay – can also buy coverage through the exchanges.
What is Wellmark doing to prepare for health insurance changes?
Assisting employers in understanding and navigating the new requirements under the health-care law is one of Wellmark's highest priorities, said Kristin Jones, Wellmark's director of marketing. Wellmark has devoted significant resources to preparing for and informing customers about the changes, she said.
"This is going to impact every area of our business and it's a very complex topic," she said. "So if it's complex for us, we know that it's going to be complex for our employers and customers. So they're asking a lot of questions about what they need to do."
Wellmark recently notified customers about expanded coverage available for women's preventive health services that became effective on Aug. 1.
Helping companies to comply with the new requirements to provide a summary of benefits coverage statement for their group policies, a provision effective Sept. 23, is the next big push, Jones said.

After a short period of being quietly weird, Germany is really unloading with the utter strangeness lately, mailing us spiders and the killer pig they butcher in the name of revenge and freaking out over Google. The German city of Dortmund, which has a deficit of $133 million or so, is trying to fill the hole any way they can, and they naturally turned to the first thing a politician always thinks of: prostitutes!
In the one way in which Germany is like Nevada, prostitution is actually legal there, which come to think of it, really does explain a lot about Germany. And taxing hookers is nothing new: the city of Cologne introduced the awesomely-named "pleasure tax" in 2004, although we're not sure who collects it, and whether he washes his hands a lot.
So how are the hookers taking it from the government? In the form of a $8-a-day pass. The city is really sticking it to the hooker both ways; either she can pay up front for the pass, or if she gets caught, she'll take it in the back end in the form of a fine.
Which leaves us with just one question, really. Say a hooker works a five day week; that's $40 a week, $1080 a year. So how many hookers do they have on the streets that this is actually going to chip into their nine-figure budget deficit? Are there any non-hookers in Dortmund? Is it just a big hookerville?
Even if it's not, it still sounds more laid back than the British and their ridiculousness this week. Our cousins to the East have a tradition of "Christmas crackers", which are basically a teeny cap from a cap gun in a cardboard tube that pops when you pull them apart. People treat them like wishbones, and it's a much more fun tradition than drinking heavily in the morning and pretending to be sober like most American families.
Anyway, the British have classified these utterly harmless little devices as "class 1 fireworks", which means if you look under…wait for it…25, they're going to card you in order to keep these dangerous little things out of the grasp of …15-year-olds. What do the retailers get for violating this rule? A fine of up to 5000…pound…things (WINGDINGS ARE HARD OK?), which is about $8000 in real money, and a six month stay in jail.
So, just to reiterate, a country facing serious problems, including a serious knife crime problem in the city of London, has decided the best course of action to protect people is to ban something absolutely harmless because it makes a loud noise.
Man, Britain…just…man up.
- Having fun in Dortmund is going to cost more. There goes my one compelling reason to ever visit Germany. (New York Daily News)
- The British card people to buy what amounts to a pop-gun cap in a tube. Probably while somebody is being stabbed outside the window. (Garden XL)
- Meanwhile, in animal news, some idiot let their small yappy dog out on a flight and it bit two people, forcing the pilot to divert the flight. Why do we bring this up? (CNBC)
- Because of the far more bad-ass contrasting story in Australia, where a flight was diverted not by a tiny dog that likely exists as a food source, but because they were having trouble loading in a cheetah. Why were they loading a cheetah into an airplane? To see what would happen. This is Australia. Fine, fine, it was being transferred between zoos, and didn't actually get out. But still, you have to admit, a minor flight delay in Australia is vastly more awesome than an animal actually getting out into an airplane in America. Way to make us look like wusses, US Airways (Reuters)
- There are at least 200,000 prostitutes in Germany, that the German government actually knows of. Even better, their support organization is named HYDRA. HAIL HYDRA! (German Ministry for Family and Whatever)
- Hey, want to know just how scary Britain actually is? Back in 2006, they had 4.2 million cameras. In 1999, they had 1 million. Doing the math, that means by now, there is at least one camera in Britain watching someone poop. What's wrong with these people? That's what the Germans are supposed to do! (BBC)
