A man of his words
Jimmy Breslin speaks bluntly about the church, politics, and his daughter's death
Maybe if she were from New York, the young woman at the front desk of the Millennium Bostonian Hotel would recognize Jimmy Breslin's name when a visitor asks to see him.
Maybe she'd know that the dapper white-haired gentleman in the royal blue shirt and dark blazer who emerges from the elevator a few minutes later has for decades been one of America's most colorful and controversial newspaper columnists. Maybe she'd lean forward to hear that thick Queens accent and blunt tongue at work.
But she doesn't, so Breslin, who is 75, and his visitor stroll unnoticed across the street to Quincy Market to sit outdoors and talk about Breslin's new book, "The Church That Forgot Christ," and politics and journalism and other things, too.
"In the news business," Breslin says, "if you have the column, and you have the freedom, and every day it's up to you, it's terrific."
For more than 40 years it's been up to him. In November of 1963, Breslin covered the funeral of John F. Kennedy for the now-defunct New York Herald Tribune and found Clifton Pollard, the $3.01-an-hour gravedigger who considered it an honor to open the earth for a slain president's casket. In 1977, David Berkowitz, the notorious -- and, at the time, elusive -- Son of Sam killer wrote to Breslin. In 1986, Breslin, then at New York's Daily News, won a Pulitzer Prize "for columns," the citation notes, "which consistently champion ordinary citizens." This summer, one reader wrote to Newsday, Breslin's home since 1988, to praise his "great wit and deep compassion," and another dismissed his work as "sob sister drivel."
Breslin's target in his 14th book is the Catholic Church, which he left after the sexual abuse scandal broke. "Why should I be in a church like this?" he asks. "The answer is I'm not." That wasn't easy for a man who'd always been a regular churchgoer. "Your whole life," he quips, "was based on beer after church on Sundays." The church, he says, "was a vaccination that took. All of a sudden to get rid of it is hard, but they made it impossible."
In his book, Breslin interviews victims of abuse. He rails against a church that battles abortion but transferred pedophile priests from parish to parish. "And they're living with this crazy idea that they're going to have this institution without women," he says. "And they don't have married priests. They're not going to last."
He lost respect for the church, he says, not his faith. He remembers his first wife's battle with cancer. "We prayed endlessly," he says. "You believe. Priests at the bedside." Rosemary Breslin died in 1981. In 1994, Breslin had surgery for a brain aneurysm, which prompted him to write a memoir, "I Want to Thank My Brain for Remembering Me," published in 1996.
"I've been known to write about blacks an awful lot. The night before the operation, I was absolutely at ease. I wasn't nervous. I said it was because of the blacks. A state of grace -- I've always been with the very poor," he says. "I went into the operation in the morning as if nothing could happen. That was powerful reliance on faith."
For 15 years, Breslin's daughter Rosemary battled a rare blood disorder. "She said she'd be all right if we prayed for her," Breslin says. She was the only one of his six children who was no longer a churchgoer. "She hated churches since the mother died," Breslin says. He recently introduced her to a priest who ministers to the poor. "He looked like Brooklyn to her," Breslin says. "He talked to her and she took Communion and thought she'd be back in the church. The prayer didn't work."
Rosemary Breslin died on June 14. She was 47. "Thank God," Breslin had written two weeks earlier, "she will be around for a long time." Less than a week after she died, he wrote, "The mother took her hand, and walked her away, as if to the first day of school." A month later, in Boston, he is stoic. "What are you going to do?" he says. "I've got to go to work. You've got to go on. A person to be pitied becomes a bore."
That is a fate to which Breslin vows he will never succumb. He is a loquacious raconteur practiced enough in the art of talking on television and writing for newspapers that, usually, he censors himself when he speaks.
Occasionally he slips and utters the epithet that sounds a lot like "freaking." But when he talks about the Jewish man who married into his first wife's otherwise all-Catholic family, he is careful. "That made a freaking difference. Diversity always does," Breslin says. "It put a wedge between you and the ignorance and stupidity that was around."
Breslin has known controversy. In 1990, Newsday suspended him for two weeks after he used a racial slur to criticize an Asian-American reporter who had criticized him. This April the paper ran an editor's note critical of him for not indicating that a quote he attributed to the Rev. Louis Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition was the gist of a conversation that took place in 1992.
Breslin's columns have been populated with such people as "Marvin the Torch" and "Klein the Lawyer," and he once declared he had them sign his notebooks as proof of their existence. Klein, it turns out, was Melvin Lebetkin, a friend of Breslin's involved in a corruption scandal in Queens who was sentenced in 1989 to two years in prison for mail fraud.
He sees his job as one part shoe leather and one part storytelling. "You do it with your feet. That's the most important thing you've got," Breslin says. "You take poetic license, and you try to make people smile." Ask Breslin about Jayson Blair, the disgraced New York Times reporter, and he insists he hasn't given it a thought. Ask him about today's newspapers, and he complains, "Tell me if you see anything in them that makes you laugh." But ask him his favorite column, and he mentions a serious one -- about a man who heard a thud outside his apartment and saw the body of a baby who'd been tossed out an upper floor window, then heard another thud and saw the baby's mother.
"Royko" -- the late Chicago columnist Mike Royko -- "and I, neither of us would be hired today because all we do is give you trouble," Breslin says. "Not much compared to what we get you."
Breslin comes to Boston with political credentials of his own. He's been a candidate himself, in 1968 when he ran for president of New York's City Council on a slate headed by writer Norman Mailer. "The problem was we didn't take it as strongly as we should have, because it was a very good idea," Breslin says. He's been a political spouse. His second wife, Ronnie Eldridge, whom he wed 22 years ago, served on the New York City Council from 1989 to 2001. What's his advice to Teresa Heinz Kerry? "I wouldn't talk so much," he says.
Breslin was a delegate for George McGovern at the 1972 Democratic convention. In 1984 he took on the role of informal political adviser when an aide to Walter Mondale asked whether he foresaw any problems nominating his Queens neighbor Geraldine Ferraro as Mondale's running mate, and he said no.
"Don't put it all on me," Breslin says now, then invokes the name of the man from Queens who was governor of New York at the time. "So did Cuomo." Ferarro's campaign was hurt by stories questioning the business dealings of her husband, John Zacarro.
From his table on a Quincy Market patio last week, Breslin surveys a bustling summer scene as he snacks on Maryland crab soup. Amid the men in white shirts and women in capris and tourists in Bermuda shorts is a trio whose IDs dangling on red-white-and-blue shoelaces tag them as early arrivals for the convention. Does Breslin see anything that piques his interest for his column? He dismisses the question with a flick of the hand and a smirk. "I'll start looking for wherever it's tough," he says.
Five days later, Breslin writes a column from Boston blasting the wire-fenced protest zone outside the FleetCenter. He must be sporting a different look, or else taking poetic license, because he describes his attire as rumpled. "Nobody knows precisely what the protesters are for or against," he writes, "but they are performing the most important role of a citizen: criticizing his government."

There has always been some Judo/Jujitsu/Hapkido/TKD crossover. My TKD instructor spent 20 years in Judo before he opened his TKD school (He spent about 10 years in TKD) for a while he would add some Judo techniques into the curriculum (before my time unfortunately) but since the TKD stuff really paid better he phased those out within a year or two. But I wouldn't be surprised to see TKD schools that had a little crappling thrown in, and maybe even the splash of legit Judo at some of them prior to the UFC. I imagine there are a TON with all kinds of crappling now though.

Formalized sparring begins with 3-step sparring and goes through variations into 1-step sparring. With 3-step students are introduced to two basic blocks against a punch, and, through control of timing, are taught how to deflect (not just hit) an attack with those blocks. Students learn timing and control at this white-belt stage when their power is relatively limited rather than waiting until later when they have developed more power to try to control - mistakes hurt less now. Students also begin to learn at this stage which blocks go best with various counter-attacks. Eventually kick attack possibilities are added along with the appropriate blocks and counter-attack responses for them. 1-step sparring condenses the three step attack, blocks/guard and counter-attack skills learned in 3-step into just a one-punch attack and response.
So, according to this the purpose of step sparring is to develop timing, defense, counter-attacks and control (and though not mentioned one must also assume proper movement and footwork). There is a drill that exists that develops all those things, but does so with complete aliveness, the ability to really hit and be hit, and more realistic footwork, movement, timing and distance. That drill is working focus mits with a partner.
One stpes like this do not develop proper timing because the distance is off (due to the non-contact), the footwork is unrealistic and the attacker simply stands there and lets the defender perform their routine. One steps do not develop proper defense because the attacks are totally unrealistic and the timing and distance are off. One steps do not develop proper counter attacks for the same reasons. ANd they do not develop control. It takes real control to hit your target in an alive situation, with power and proper technique. Instead, in these one steps they simply don't hit at all, which in addition to developing a bad habit of pulling your punches, actually requires very little control.
This is not simply a matter of "HURR HURR TKD sux!!!" TKD has a lot to offer. But step sparring is innefectual at best, and actually teaches you to do things wrong at the worst. It needs to be abandoned.

I agree with you to a large extent Matt.
I've viewed one steps as a way to introduce a student to striking at another person. An equivalent of learning a new jiujitsu technique and drilling it on a non resisting partner. Working out the perfect way to do it in an ideal environment before adding imperfections to the environment. I can't really take that quote you put up seriously because there is a lot wrong with it, things you've already pointed out. And I'm sure focus mitts are a great help, we work them every class. But this sort of one step drilling helps in seeing where you can hit with various techniques. To clarify, I am not recommending this training method, but rather looking at its uses.
Obviously one steps went south somewhere along the line. I believe they went south when forms centric teachers conflated goals and methods of one step drills with goals and methods of forms. So you get these form-drills that have extremely limited use. They became more and more idealized to the point of not being applicable to sparring, as drills should be, and not conveying any sort of concepts or techniques as forms should. That's where you get those wide starting stances and techniques clearly taken out of forms.
To repeat, one steps have their use. But like many of TKD's teaching, they've been confused and misused and plainly done wrong.

Former Wolves striker Don Goodman says the club should consider their options regarding Benik Afobe.
Former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Don Goodman has told SkySports the club should consider cashing in on striker Beni Afobe.
The Express reported this week Crystal Palace are considering a £10 million offer for the striker, although no offers have so far been submitted.
SkySports reported in the summer that Wolves rejected a £10 million bid from Premier League side Norwich City.
At that point Afobe had only been at the club for six months, but impressed by netting 13 goals in 21 appearances.
This time around there has been a slight regressions, with Afobe scoring nine in 25 games, with Wolves as a whole lacking the form they showed at the end of last season.
Goodman, who played more than 100 games for Wolves, believes the club should be open to the idea of selling, if the deal is right.
He told SkySports: "He has suffered badly with the events of last summer's transfer window when he saw a terrific opportunity to go and play in the Premier League disappear.
"Psychologically he didn't handle it as well as he would have hoped and he was clearly affected by it. But you still look at his goals return of last season and, even though he hasn't hit the heights this season, he is a player who will score you goals and there are lots of clubs, particularly in the middle to bottom half of the Premier League, who need goals.
"The speculation in the summer did affect him and if Wolves can get a seriously good fee they could use it wisely to mount a promotion push in the second half of the campaign."
After a poor start to the season, Kenny Jackett's side have rallied, winning their last three games, and are in 11th place, but just seven points back from the play-offs, certainly not insurmountable at this stage.
Wolves would surely need Afobe if they are to get there, unless they act just as smartly as they did a year ago by signing him.

Wales's captain Bradley Davies believes the tour to Japan will prove an important stepping stone for his young squad.
Japan levelled the series in Tokyo on Saturday with an historic 23-8 victory, their first success over a team ranked in the world's top 10. However it was an embarrassing climax to a season in which Wales clinched the Six Nations title for a second year in a row.
That success led to 15 Welshmen as well as seven members of the backroom staff travelling to Australia with the British and Irish Lions, including the head coach Warren Gatland. Tour coach Robin McBryde also had to contend with several withdrawals through injury as well as the decision to rest some senior players, such as Ryan Jones, James Hook and Matthew Rees.
As a result, Wales visited south-east Asia with 10 uncapped players, while a further 10 members of the group had made fewer than five international appearances. However Davies believes the new internationals will learn from the loss.
"We have just got to take it on the chin and we will learn from this," Davies said. "The biggest positive from the tour is that we brought 27 boys away who were very inexperienced and now they have got the experience of Test rugby. Hopefully when they are given their chance again in the future, they will know what it's about, what to expect and perform better."
Inexperience combined with temperatures of 32C in both Osaka and Tokyo left a youthful Wales side struggling to contend with an ambitious and well-organised Japan team who outscored their visitors two tries to one in both games.
Davies said: "I am every impressed with Japan and they are going to have more big victories soon. They play an entertaining style of rugby to watch, though not so much to play against.
"I didn't think it was possible after the first game [in Osaka] but it felt even hotter in Tokyo. It was tough to play in, but that's not an excuse because we had two weeks to adapt.
"When we had the ball we created a lot of problems for Japan, but at the end of the day they took their chances and we didn't. We lost because we didn't take our opportunities, not because of the weather."
Wasteful Wales trailed 6-3 at half-time until Tom Prydie crossed early in the second half.
But they conceded two tries in quick succession before controversially having a try ruled out by referee Greg Garner, who did not have the benefit of a television match official.
Davies said: "It was difficult, one of those games when everything went right for them and wrong for us."
Japan face Canada in the Pacific Nations Cup this week hoping to build on this historic success.
The captain Toshiaki Hirose said: "This was a special moment for Japan rugby but we have to keep moving forward and not go backwards."

5 Tips to Support Your Liver
The liver serves a vital function in almost every system in your body; from hormone and digestive enzyme production to blood filtration and the last stop in chemical digestion of medications. It makes cholesterol and triglycerides, important components of hormone production. The liver is both an endocrine organ (an organ that produces substances for use in the body, like IGF1) and exocrine organ (produces substances that leave the body, like bile), and along with the heart, brain and pancreas is an organ that we cannot live without. All in all, an organ worth some serious TLC.
Here are five ways to support your liver:
1. What We Eat: Eat organically grown foods that support liver function, like artichokes, oatmeal, garlic, cabbage, rosemary, turmeric, ginger, beets, orange foods and green foods.
2. How We Eat: Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. Eat slowly and chew your food until it's become liquid to aid digestion.
3. How We Move: Consistent, gentle activity like walking, hiking, biking, and yoga improve circulation in and out of the liver. Make sure you have movement in other areas, too – aim for two bowel movements per day.
4. What We Drink: Drink more water. Divide your body weight by 2 to get the number of ounces you need to drink daily. For example, a 150-pound person needs 75 ounces of water. My liver also enjoys Sencha green tea powder .
5. How We F...

Washington State sophomore point guard will return from suspension Thursday night against Arizona State on Pullman.
Moore, a former Rainier Beach star, missed the Stanford game last week. He was suspended after he was cited for misdemeanor marijuana and paraphernalia charges.
Head coach Ken Bone said the items were found Dec. 11 during a search on Moore's dorm room. He was not in the room at the time of the search.
Moore is averaging 8.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 12 games. He missed the first five games of the season because of a wrist injury.
The Cougars (13-5, 3-3 Pac-10) are tied for fifth place in the conference with Oregon State, but just two games back of first-place Washington. Arizona State (9-8, 1-4) is in ninth place.

Not sure quite what you are asking.... if it's do I still believe that there is time to 'add a property' that works something like I described, then yes... although I think the window of opportunity is a little narrow and there would have to be some rapid concensus that it was the right thing to do. If as a suggestion it has no appeal to you, then I suspect it would be a futile gesture to try to go there. OTOH, if it looks like a direction that would address your concern, it might be something we could do with enough support and good will. If you're asking something deeper, I think you might have to restate the question. > > MB > -- > Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc. > Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. firstname.lastname@example.com > http://www.markbaker.ca http://www.planetfred.com regards StuartReceived on Wednesday, 24 April 2002 13:13:30 UTC

On Soulmates, Squeaky toys and Quantum Physics
by Meg Trafford
c Diane Rich 2013 Chase reads to his guests after a day of play
I was anxious to read this book to review for my readers. I receive many books to review and am usually contacted by a publicist hired by the publisher but on this occasion had the opportunity to communicate with the author. Note to publicists, it may be a good idea for the author to send an old fashioned personal email to bloggers to review a book. That small, personal touch may put your book at the top of the list to review. Doesn't guarantee a good review but motivates the process to begin sooner than later.
I totally enjoyed the brief emails with Meg Trafford and found her passionate and funny.
Meg's book is about the love between a human and their beloved dog which most of us thankfully have experienced; the love, the exhaustion, the time, the adventures, the looks, the joys, the pain, the understanding and the knowing.
I got into the book very quickly which is a good sign as some books are not easy to plow through.
As a trainer, I found it interesting to read about her experiences training her dogs and championed her journey of trial and error and yearning to learn and understand what makes her dogs tick. From a professional perspective, I enjoyed reading that while she researched training techniques and attended classes she learned how individual each dog was and that not everything a dog does is to "get us" or is naughty due to noncompliance with our silly human rules. I enjoyed her humor and how it got her through the hiccups.
My only challenge with the book was an emotional one. We all know the joy of those first few days with a new puppy, the ups and downs on raising a pup, debating the theories of how to raise that new addition and the deep and loving bond that develops with this amazing species. We also learn as we watch our dogs age how to keep reality at bay trying not to think how quickly time flies. And, of course we all know we will eventually come face to face and heart to heart with the inevitable good bye.
The journey brought up raw emotions of my own losses with my dream dogs (and dream cat) as I do my best to keep those emotions in check. So, rather than reading cover to cover, I needed to take frequent breaks when reaching the lumps in the throat parts of the book feeling down to my core the grief Meg experienced with her loss. Like Meg, I feel am a lucky person to have experienced and continue to experience the myriad of emotions dogs bring to the heart and the gift they bring to the human soul. Thank DOG for my dogs and all they have taught me.
Meg, thank you for sharing your love story with Woo.
A conversation with Woo is a book to read with your dog in your lap and if she or he doesn't fit, at least next to you.
Meg's book is self published. http://www.conversationswithwoo.com/about-the-book.html

After being named Kangaroos captain in 2002, Andrew Johns was asked what he would change about himself as the leader of his national team, to which he responded something along the lines of: "I'll be shaving a little more frequently."
Kangaroos captaincy hopeful Cam Smith looked to have followed Joey's advice when Australia rolled England at Elland Road last Saturday night.
The man with the most distinctive stubble in the game apparently decided to make his final audition for the captaincy of the Kangaroos also a dress rehearsal by picking up his Gillette. Although, there's a possibility he was just doing the right thing by the tournament sponsor.
However, a clean chin does not make a clean skin.
There are a number of questions hovering over Smith that means the issue of his ascendancy to the captaincy of the Kangaroos isn't as clean-cut as it, and he, appears.
The first is his consistent view that he is entitled to more money.
When the NRL partnership recently agreed to increase the clubs' funding by $500,000 next season, Smith was quick to weigh in on where some of that money should go.
"The clubs are asking for more money but they haven't mentioned anything about paying players more money. All they have asked at the moment is for more money for them."
He went on to draw comparisons between the NRL and the NBA, where presently the game is being held to ransom by the players insisting they deserve a larger slice of the pie.
"It is pretty extreme, the whole lockout stuff. I would like to think our game would never go to those lengths."
He would like to think. Of course it wouldn't be the first time Smith has made a threat of this type by not making it, saying in May of 2010, "I'm not sure whether striking is the right thing to do because at the end of the day striking hurts the game and the fans.
"But if that's going to help the players and help keep players in the game, then maybe that's something we need to look at.
"I'm not saying we will do it, but it's an option that is there for us."
Obviously Smith is not the only player in the game complaining about a lack of appropriate financial compensation. But if every player from the Under 20's up were to have a strike – think occupy Wall St-style here – then Smith would certainly not be one of the 99% who are underpaid.
Meanwhile a bloke like Petero Civoniceva also makes calls for more money. But he is quick to qualify that rugby league has "been everything, and I want to give back".
So where does Petero stand on player payments?
"We need to even out payments. That's why it's harmful when an elite player talks about increasing rep payments.
"That's not considering young fellas who have to balance work, study and football while on a lower wage."
Of course Cameron Smith was never one to make too much noise about player payments prior to April 2010, when his team the Melbourne Storm were taken to task by the NRL for cheating the salary cap over four years – an action that was in part exposed by Smith's deal with Fox Sports.
And though Smith was cleared of any wrong-doing by the official investigation, he and his agent refused to cooperate with said investigation.
This isn't to suggest Smith is necessarily guilty of anything but when Storm coach Craig Bellamy gave up his work and home computers and participated in full with the investigation to clear his own name, Smith refusing to so much as talk to the investigators cast him in a light so dim it gave his newly-smooth face back its five o'clock shadow.
But perhaps the main reason a question rests over Smith's head is that he is a suspect player on the field.
No one can question his work ethic, talent, skills or attitude.
But one can question the spirit in which he plays the game.
Though a player such as Richie McCaw is often accused of playing his sport on the edge of its laws, the laws McCaw flirts with are to do with playing the ball. Smith, on the other hand, lives on the razor's edge of laws concerned with player safety.
His club is the most notorious in the game for wrestling techniques in their tackling. Indeed, Smith himself missed the 2008 Grand Final after receiving a two week suspension for a grapple tackle on Brisbane's Sam Thaiday.
This would have only been one week – and meant just missing that year's preliminary final – if Smith did not have carry-over points for another grapple tackle in round 1 of that season.
Whilst he has since maintained a clean record at the judiciary, he was also an integral part in one of the ugliest (or best, depending on your point of view) scenes in recent Origin memory.
In the final minutes of Game 3 2009 the game had become little more than a brawl on a field. So it was interesting to see what the respective leaders of their states thought was appropriate reaction to the game's descent.
After being awarded a penalty in the game's final minute QLD vice-captain Smith put up the bomb which Anthony Watmough later described as an "up-and-under for an all-in".
NSW captain Kurt Gidley took the bomb and fearlessly ran into a wall of Maroon defenders baying for blood.
The comparison between sport and war, framed by the question "who would you rather be standing next to in the trenches" is as flawed as it is disrespectful. So the simple question to be asked is who showed greater leadership qualities – Kurt or Cam?
And that is the question to be asked of Smith – will he show sufficient leadership qualities to be the captain of the greatest rugby league team and nation in the world?
Will he show Petero's selflessness and look out for the underdog? Follow Craig Bellamy's integrity and set the correct example for his fellow players? And will he have Kurt's courage and be the man to take the hit instead of dish it out?
Or will he just continue to shave a little more frequently?

When you've been holding in a big shit, and before you can even sit down, the pressure of bending over causes immediate uncontrolable shit explosion, that in turn sticks to the back of the toilet and when flushed does NOT go any where.

JUNEAU -- With this year's legislative session half over, the Legislature has completed work on just three bills -- they've renamed two roads and re-established the Board of Public Accountancy.
The first half of any legislative session tends to be slow, but lawmakers say this year has been unusually sluggish.
''If it got much slower, it would stop entirely,'' Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz, D-Anchorage, said.
House Majority Leader Jeannette James, R-North Pole, agrees it's been calm. But the number of public opinion messages, e-mails and calls is also down, which indicates to her citizens aren't clamoring for action.
Still, she said, lawmakers haven't been slacking.
''We've been working intently on the budget. That's mostly where the focus has been,'' James said.
Committees are also wrestling with what to do about the high school exit exam and the problem of repeat drunken drivers, and what role, if any, the Legislature should play in possible development of a natural gas pipeline.
The House Finance Committee will start taking testimony on the operating budget Thursday. It's expected to be ready for a vote on the House floor next week, which James said would be one of the earliest votes on the budget she can recall.
The committee tentatively proposed an increase of about $27 million in general fund spending, which leaders said would keep programs basically at a status quo. That's about $56 million less than the operating budget proposed by Democratic Gov. Tony Knowles for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Lawmakers will also decide how much to spend on construction projects. Gov. Tony Knowles proposed a $127 million bond package for building and fixing schools and a six-year $425 million plan to improve roads and build ferries.
Budget leaders in the Republican-led Legislature have expressed some support for the proposals but questioned some of the details, and House Finance Committee Co-Chairman Eldon Mulder, R-Anchorage, said he's concerned about overheating the economy.
During the second half of the session the pace is expected to pick up on a couple of other big issues.
House and Senate committees are having hearings this week on the high school graduation exam. State law requires students starting with the class of 2002 to pass the test to receive a diploma, but high failure rates after the initial testing prompted Gov. Tony Knowles to call for a four-year delay in the effective date.
Many lawmakers are reluctant to do that and are now looking at several alternative proposals -- such as delaying the test two years, letting students who fail receive a diploma based on grades and recommendations or removing the requirement altogether.
''We'll get some resolution of the exit exam for sure,'' James said.
After a series of high-profile fatal drunken driving accidents last year, many legislators also want to do something about repeat drunken drivers. So far, a bill that, among other things, stiffens fines and sentences for repeat offenders has cleared just one House committee.
Lawmakers have also spent a lot of time talking about the possibility of a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to the Lower 48.
They've seen presentations from major oil producers who are studying whether such a project is economically viable. They've also heard from backers of alternative proposals to ship North Slope gas in a liquefied form to Asia.
But so far no gas line legislation has passed a single committee.
''To learn is the most important thing right now,'' Senate Resources Chairman John Torgerson said. ''We need to educate ourselves, we need to educate the public.''
Torgerson, R-Kasilof, said he isn't planning any major gas line legislation now since the gas producers haven't made a decision on whether to build a pipeline, and if so, when and along what route.
''It's really hard to pass legislation until you know the particulars of what you're doing,'' Torgerson said.
Minority lawmakers say the Legislature needs to tackle other issues this session, too -- coming up with a long-range fiscal plan and working to bring the state into compliance with federal law on subsistence hunting and fishing.
''We have a lot of issues out there that we haven't talked about and probably won't talk about,'' said Sen. Kim Elton, D-Juneau.
But some lawmakers say not doing much is just fine.
''Actually, I think that's good,'' said Rep. Scott Ogan, R-Palmer. ''The fact that we're not passing many laws means people's wallets are safe for now.''

Protecting wetland and grassland in Paraguay
The Chaco-Pantanal is a unique transition zone between the Dry Chaco grasslands to the west and the world's largest wetland - the Pantanal - to the east. Most of the Pantanal occurs in neighbouring Brazil, but in the very north-eastern tip of Paraguay it meets the Chaco and every year a large area is flooded, creating a changing mosaic of habitats that support a rich variety of wildlife.
Working in partnership with Guyra Paraguay the Chaco-Pantanal Reserve was established in 2005 as a result of a legacy to the WLT from Suffolk businessman, Sid Templer. Initially the Reserve covered 8,650 acres (3,600 ha) but, with help from other WLT supporters, it now protects almost 35,000 acres.
Located in a strategically important area, the reserve protects habitat along the Río Negro (Black River), providing trans-boundary protection with the Otuquis National Park in neighbouring Bolivia. WLT is continuing to raise funds to extend and manage the Chaco-Pantanal Reserve to permanently protect this unique habitat.
Three Giants Biological Station
The Three Giants Biological Station, located on the Chaco-Pantanal Reserve, is named after three local inhabitants - the Giant Otter, the Giant Anteater and the Giant Armadillo, all of which are endangered and can be seen in and around the reserve.
Guyra Paraguay began building the biological station in 2007, with funding provided by WLT Council Member, Kevin Cox, and it was completed in early 2008. The field station provides accommodation for local and international researchers and adventurous tourists, who want to explore the true wilderness of the unexplored Chaco-Pantanal.
Recoginsing that the area is the territory of the Ishir, or Chamacoco indigenous people, and the importance of involving the surrounding communities in conservation, Guyra Paraguay are working in a number of ways to promote stewardship. For example, alongside the creation of the Chaco-Pantanal Reserve in 2005, Guyra Paraguay also established the 'Eco-Club', an open community group that mainly consists of young people from the nearby area. This very successful group has expanded considerably since, establishing the first local radio, the 'Bahía Negra Poty' and holding weekly meetings on their mission of raising awareness of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
The annual flooding of the Chaco-Pantanal is particularly important for aquatic birds, including many migratory species, which stop here in their thousands from all over the Americas.
Globally threatened bird species, including the Crowned Eagle and Hyacinth Macaw, are found in the region. The reserve also boosts high numbers of mammals: 117 species have been recorded, including large carnivores such as the Jaguar, Puma, Maned Wolf and caimans, as well as the Black Howler Monkey and Marsh Deer, and, of course, the 'Three Giants '

Set Yourself Free From Cable TV
What do you think about this video?
mike m: You are the best of all. Thanks M.M.
TheMulekews: just settle with youtubeit has an enormus variety of videos uploaded by contnt creators whos only purpose is to make the viewers happy.
JoeNobody010101: PC to TV is WAY better than ANY antenna. Not convinced? Check out my channel, it's the first video that loads right up. Trust me, it'll knock your socks off! I have EVERY Movie and EVERY TV Show that EVER existed PLUS all of the future ones as-well. The best part is, not one of them has to be downloaded to be viewed. Just check it out, you'll see ~
waterwixxxer: Investigate spotify free version for music. It is Napster. Brought back to life. The music industry's worst nightmare. Easily available. Do it! Then pay for what you love if you can or it will go away.
waterwixxxer: For some strange reason I put all of this information into a yahoo comment and yahoo would not post my comment. They must have media ties. It seems to be posting just fine here to youtube. But what I've said is something that about 30% of everyone right now knows already I think. Still good to spread the word. I liked your video. I wish I could make some youtube videos. I'm thinking of maybe making some boardgame review videos soon. We'll see.
waterwixxxer: The cable comes from amazon.com That is how it is $1. It is $20 at Walmart or more. Someday I'm going to make money on the internet. If doing the taxes weren't so bothersome and I could only find a niche :)
waterwixxxer: Beyond Hulu you can watch things like justin.tv as far as I know still. Also if you are into anime it seems easy to find with nothing but a google search bar. I don't pay. I've been off of tv cable bills for 2 years. I'm what they call an early adopter and I am tech savvy enough to get what I want but not tech savvy enough to do anything serious with computers. I'm cable tv's worst nightmare and I was their worst nightmare back when cord cutting was new 2 years ago.
waterwixxxer: Alright so now the hard part is this. You need to figure out if you have hdmi on the back of your television or vga. I have vga for my "pc plug" on the back of my television. The other end that goes to my computer is an hdmi plug. Just look at the pictures. You'll be able to tell. Then here's the fun part. Don't do netflix really as it is a luxury. Google tv stations for clunky fun. ABC. Comedy Central. Really whatever you want. Then there's Hulu for nice fun. So much free.
waterwixxxer: Well what I do is this. I buy a Sony Bravia 40 inch right? Okay then you get this. Here I'll give you a link. Now on your computer you need something called a video card or even an integrated video card will be fine. Which all computers pretty much have this hdmi out. It is just a kind of connection. Like a power plug that you plug in the wall but it has little pins. Plug this cord in your computer. Now plug the other one into the back of your television.
Thedarakht nono: how ? and whats hdmi please ?
Tania Green: very helpfull cant wait to put the advice 2 practice wow look no further i just saved a million bucks on the tips u beauty bonus woo hoo :(.......hmmm wot did i come here 4 oh i know TBox settings Beeeep...... Byeeee
waterwixxxer: Hook your big monitor to your computer with a 1 dollar hdmi cable.
mac spillmen: you so sweet. you got one of those relaxing voice you did your homework a lot people need to see this
John Strabismus: @TheTootsieroll23 Yes, you will need a converter box with the antenna if you have an older tv that doesn't support digital tv.
John Strabismus: Absolutely right, and correct. I have done the same thing, except I made my own antenna. (hint, hint) I will NEVER go back to ripoff cable, and I don't have to deal with their attitude, their incompetence, their rude and lazy service people, or their high fees. I LOVE having NO cable!
TheTootsieroll23: Did you still need the converter box for the antenna?
Documentary Magic: Good for you! I've been watching programs online for 2 years now and never turn on my television. Now I want to hook my computer up to my tv and watch internet shows on my tv. Thanks for the tip about the antenna and old cable hook-up! Good Information. Thank you WeMatter2!
RingDangDoo: Free Internet Tv w_w.NetTv4Free. c0m
Quaoce Lonewolf: does this work now that everything has gone digital? i lost my job, so i no longer have any tv. please let me know.

Heckmondwike's Emma Ward was picture perfect in last night's episode of Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model.
Emma was fighting for a place in the last four of the competition, and stunned the judges with her photoshoot which earned her Picture of the Week and an automatic place in the next round.
The girls were in Barbados for the second week running, and their first challenge was to learn some dance moves so they could feature in the video for top pop band Cover Drive's new single.
Emma, who works in a Morley call centre, said she initially felt very awkward dancing, but was proud she had risen to the challenge.
For their second challenge the girls were given a makeover and sent to the famous Harrison's Caves to do a shoot for Jerboa jewellery accompanied by head judge Elle MacPherson.
Emma, who was given an elfin-style wig, said she was determined to prove that the judges were right to keep her in after coming in the bottom two last week.
Studying her photograph Elle said: "That wig was either going to really work for her, or not work for her. She's really modern, she got into it and she knew what she had to do. The jewellery looked great, her hair looked great and the make-up looks fantastic."
After all the photoshoots, Elle and fellow judges Dannii Minogue and Tyson Beckford assessed the girls' performances and Dannii told Emma: "this makes you look like a superstar!
Tyson said: "She is different from the conventional beauty that we are used to," while Elle wondered: "She is more modern looking than we have seen, but is the industry ready for her."
Tyson replied: "I think they will love her."

Sewickley, PA (WKBN)- Former Steelers Head Coach Charles Henry Noll died late Friday night in his home outside of Pittsburgh.

Fifteen local organizations will receive a combined $102,482 from the Clackamas County Health, Housing and Human Services Department's Healthy Eating, Active Living grants program.
Grant recipients include nonprofits, agencies and schools working to promote health through fitness, nutrition classes, education, and community gardening.
The grants, funded by money allocated by the Clackamas County commissioners in 2010, are intended to reduce the prevalence of chronic disease and empower residents to take steps toward improving their overall health.
Community garden
AntFarm Inc., run by the Woape organization of Sandy, will use its $8,000 grant to expand its community garden program. Last year, AntFarm volunteers, including many youths, produced two tons of food. Much of the harvest was shared with food banks.
Woape's executive director, Nunpa, who goes by one name, says the garden will double in size and produce even more food for the community thanks to the grant.
"We are very excited," he says. "For youth in our program, the garden teaches nutrition awareness, a sense of community and ownership in doing the work together."
By the end of June, AntFarm plans to open a youth-operated café utilizing food grown in the community garden for smoothies and more. AntFarm is at 39140 Proctor Blvd.
Healthy Habits camp
With funds from a $7,209 HEAL grant, the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District will introduce a "healthy habits" day camp this summer. Fourth- through eighth graders will participate in hands-on cooking exercises and cooking demos led by staff from the county's Oregon State University Extension Service office.
Campers will also participate in fitness activities, including yoga, Zumba, aerobics and recess games. Beth Meyer, recreation supervisor at North Clackamas Parks and Recreation, says the program will pair the fun of a camp experience with healthy living components. North Clackamas School District is partnering with the parks district for the project.
The camp's cost will be low and some scholarships will be awarded, says Meyer. Details will be posted at ncprd.com in coming months.
Child care training
Last year, Child Care Resource & Referral of Clackamas County offered its "Steps to Health" training to 12 child care providers, who were coached in incorporating healthy snacks and movement activities. A grant of $8,000 will expand the training to 35 providers and offer on-site coaching for 15 in-home day cares or child care centers, according to Diane Smith, health, safety and nutrition specialist for early childhood education at Clackamas Education Service District.
Other groups receiving Healthy Eating, Active Living grants:
$6,950 for Boring Middle School to build a school garden and greenhouse that will promote nutrition education and physical activity through gardening.
$7,913 to the Canby Community Garden Association for community gardens in the Canby area.
$8,000 for Cascade Heights Public Charter School in Clackamas for promoting fitness and nutrition among students and creating a healthier work environment for staff.
$8,000 for Clackamas County Juvenile Department to promote healthy eating and local food preparation.
$8,000 to the Colton School District for a 1-mile walking trail promoting student, teacher and community fitness.
$7,660 to the Friends of Robinwood Station Community Center for a community garden and for gardening, cooking and food preservation education.
$8,000 for Metropolitan Family Service's healthy eating, active living after-school and evening programs for children and families in the North Clackamas School District.
$5,450 for Milwaukie High School to promote healthy eating and increase access to healthy foods during the school day.
$7,810 to Northwest Family Services in Milwaukie for nutrition education and food awareness in after-school programs and more.
$890 to Northwest Housing Alternatives in Milwaukie for a community garden and healthy recipes cookbook for low-income residents.
$8,000 to OSU Extension, Clackamas County, for a "Plot to Plate" program that will provide gardening and food preparation instruction in Canby, Oregon City and Sandy.
$2,600 to construct a greenhouse at Springwater Environmental Sciences Charter School in Oregon City.
These grant announcements represent the second round of HEAL grants. In spring 2011, the county awarded $88,000 to 13 organizations.

Following the Red Flag Rules to Detect and Prevent Identity Theft
When the Red Flags Rule went into effect on January 1, 2011, it brought significant identity theft issues into the spotlight and implications for a wide array of industries. The rule is designed to ensure that organizations have procedures in place to detect and remedy patterns, practices, and activities that indicate the presence of identity theft ("red flags").
James M. Kunick and Neil B. Posner
Extremely broad in scope, the rule is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), federal bank regulatory agencies, and the National Credit Union Administration. It requires that all organizations subject to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 implement a written identity theft prevention program to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft.
With the law now in effect, it is critical for information professionals to determine whether their organizations are subject to the Red Flags Rule, what their organizations must do to comply, and how the rule affects their role as information management professionals.
Who Must Comply?
The Red Flags Rule applies to all financial institutions and creditors that offer or maintain covered accounts. (See "Financial Institutions and Creditors" and "Covered Accounts" sections below to learn how these terms are defined.) If the organization falls into one of these categories, it will need to develop and implement an identity theft prevention program that complies with the rule. An information management professional likely will play an important role in the development, implementation, and operation of such a program.
Financial Institutions and Creditors
As defined by the Red Flags Rule, financial institutions include state and national banks, state and federal savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, state and federal credit unions, and any other entity that holds transaction accounts belonging to consumers. Atransaction account is a deposit or other account from which the owner makes payments or transfers, including checking accounts, negotiable order-of-withdrawal accounts, savings deposits subject to automatic transfers, and share-draft accounts.
The Red Flags Rule, as originally drafted, defined a creditor as:
Under this broad definition, a business that sells a product or service on credit should be asking whether it must comply with the rule.
But in December 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010, which significantly narrows the definition of creditor. The earlier broad definition would have required many businesses whose functions were incidental to credit extension, such as medical and legal practices, to take costly measures to prevent identity theft. Because the applicability of the Red Flags Rule to certain organizations was uncertain, and because a number of industry groups (e.g., the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association) raised significant objections, the FTC delayed implementation several times to allow for clarification from Congress.
The act defines creditors as only those entities that "regularly and ordinarily in the course of business":
The last category does not include an organization that advances funds on behalf of a person for expenses incidental to a service provided by the creditor to that person. The apparent intent of this language is to create an exemption for entities that allow payment to be deferred for a service, unless they engage in one of the three practices listed above.
While the media have reported that lawyers, physicians, dentists, accountants, orthodontists, pharmacists, veterinarians, nurse practitioners, social workers, and other similar service providers are now exempt from the rule, the act did not create any blanket exemptions. Therefore, if a provider "regularly and ordinarily in the course of business" uses consumer reports or reports accounts to consumer reporting agencies, directly or indirectly, that entity may be subject to the application of the Red Flags Rule.
Covered Accounts
If an organization qualifies as a financial institution or creditor under the rule, it must then ask whether it holds covered accounts. There are two types of covered accounts as defined by the rule.
The first type is an account held primarily for personal, family, or household purposes that involves or is designed to permit multiple payments or transactions (e.g., credit cards, mortgage or car loans, cell phone accounts, utility accounts, checking accounts, and most types of savings accounts).
The second type is any account for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of identity theft to account holders, or a risk to the safety and soundness of the financial institution or creditor. These might include financial, operational, compliance, reputation, or litigation risks (e.g., small business accounts, sole proprietorship accounts, and single-transaction consumer accounts).
Unlike the first category of consumer accounts designed to permit multiple payments or transactions, which are always covered accounts under the rule, accounts in the second category are covered accounts only if the risk of identity theft is reasonably foreseeable.
An Identity Theft Prevention Program in Action
Any financial institution or creditor that offers or maintains at least one covered account must comply with the Red Flags Rule by developing and implementing a written program designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft in connection with covered accounts. The program must include reasonable policies and procedures to identify, detect, and respond appropriately to warning signs of identity theft. It must also be updated periodically to reflect the changing risks of identity theft.
There are no specific practices or procedures that must be included in an identity theft prevention program, and the requirements will vary based on an organization's unique identity theft risk profile. However, the warning signs that must be identified under an identity theft prevention program generally fall into one of the following categories (see sidebar below):
An identity theft prevention program must contain policies and procedures that address detection of these warning signs. For a new covered account, these policies and procedures will likely include obtaining identifying information about and verifying the identity of the person opening the account. For existing accounts, an organization may need to take steps, such as authenticating customers, monitoring transactions, and verifying the validity of change-of-address requests.
An identity theft prevention program must also outline the actions that an organization will take to respond appropriately to detected red flags. Appropriate responses may include:
Role of Information Management Professionals
In today's technology-driven world, an organization's information technology systems (or those of third-party service providers) are responsible for processing and storing each customer's identity, contract, and related personal information. Once an identity theft prevention program is developed and the appropriate physical and administrative security controls are ready to be put in place, an organization's information management professionals need to design, implement, and certify the technical integrity of the program.
During the process, they may need to consider complex technical issues (e.g., secure user authentication controls, physical and logical access controls), including dynamic passwords; data encryption standards for information transmitted over the Internet or maintained on portable computing devices; monitoring technology for unauthorized use of or access to personal information; and firewall and virus protection for the systems.
According to the Red Flags Rule, the organization's identity theft prevention program must then be approved by its board of directors or an appropriate board committee. There must also be board-level or senior management oversight of the development, implementation, and administration of the overall program.
Following approval, business and IT staff must be trained to implement, test, operate, and manage the program and related IT systems effectively. The organization must also exercise appropriate oversight of arrangements with third-party service providers that are in a position to identify, detect, and respond to issues related to the Red Flags Rule.
Effectively Mitigating Risks
Without question, the Red Flags Rule affects a wide range of organizations that face a risk of identity theft. In order to comply with the rule, these organizations must define and implement policies and information systems that focus on collecting, analyzing, and managing information about customers and their accounts in order to detect and prevent identity theft.
By understanding the background of the rule and its requirements, information professionals will be in the best position to help their organization develop, implement, and maintain the required identity theft prevention program, as well as the related information systems necessary to meet its legal obligations under the rule.

Story by Dennis Hollier

On a clear June night in 2006, a Russian Dnepr rocket—an ICBM converted to civilian use—blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Shortly after takeoff the booster engine failed, and the old SS-18 missile crashed in the desert near the border of Uzbekistan, taking with it a payload of satellites from Russia, Egypt, Belarus and Italy. Also lost in the crash was a payload of fourteen CubeSats, tiny satellites designed and built by students at universities around the world, including the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
The ill-fated CubeSat, the culmination of thousands of hours of work by dozens of UH students, would have been the first Hawai'i-built satellite to go into orbit. Now, seven years after the debacle in Kazakhstan and five generations of CubeSats later, Wayne Shiroma and a new team of students are going to try again. This fall their latest satellite, Ho'oponopono, will piggyback on a NASA launch out of Cape Canaveral. At roughly the size of a shoebox, Ho'oponopono will be three times as large as its predecessor and carry sophisticated communications and radar calibration technology. Whether it will be the first Hawai'i satellite in orbit remains to be seen.
Shiroma, chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering, started the Hawai'i program in 2002 and has led it since. CubeSat technology was, he says, conceived by two Stanford professors, Jordi Puig-Suare and Bob Twiggs. "Twiggs had a conception of students building a satellite and having it launched within their educational lifetimes," Shiroma says. Twiggs also established the original dimensions of the satellite: a ten-centimeter cube. "He was standing outside a corner drugstore," says Shiroma, "and saw someone walk by with a Beanie Baby box and thought, 'That's about the right size for the satellite that I think we should start building.'" In UH's small satellite program, students design, build, test and manage the satellite. They even select its mission. "Anything goes," Shiroma says. "That's the beauty of it. Students can conceive of any mission they want. Then, rather than relying on NASA or any other big satellite developer, they can build their own project; they can manage their own budgets and timelines."
Shiroma speaks of his students with evident pride. He points out, for example, that Larry Martin, a grad student now serving as program manager for the Ho'oponopono project, was selected as student of the year by the national honor society for electrical engineers because of his undergraduate work on Ho'oponopono. Shiroma gets even more emotional when he talks about the effect the program has had on systems engineer Nick Fisher. "Larry was always good with his grades," Shiroma says. "He could do the traditional lecture and textbook model. Nick, once, was not. I hope I'm not embarrassing him, but he didn't have the best grades in traditional classes. But then we put him in charge as the systems engineer—the chief engineer. All of a sudden there was a whole paradigm shift because now he knows he's in charge of a team, he's in charge of a $200,000 budget. More importantly, he's not just learning engineering; he's actually doing engineering."
Not surprisingly, the Hawai'i CubeSat students took their opportunity seriously and designed a satellite that would fulfill a need. "This is a C-band radar calibration satellite," Fisher explains. "There are C-band radar stations all over the globe—more than eighty in all—whose primary purpose is to track objects in space. That could be a launch vehicle, a rocket going into space or a satellite, but operators need to know very accurately where it is." To help calibrate these stations, Ho'oponopono carries a transponder (which amplifies and responds to the tracking station signals) and a space-grade GPS to precisely determine its own position. By comparing the two sets of data, the C-band stations can check their accuracy.
This isn't just a science experiment, says Martin; it has real-world application. "There are just two radar calibration satellites in orbit right now, one of which is approaching twenty years past its life expectancy and has been failing—shutting down and turning back on, things like that. So they're looking for a replacement. What we're doing as a student team isn't coming up with a replacement itself, but rather something to supplement these satellites. Our solution is over sixty times smaller and about a hundred times cheaper than RadCal, one of those satellites currently in orbit."
That's one of the main advantages of micro-satellites like CubeSat. Although the primary purpose of CubeSat is to prepare students for careers in the graying aerospace industry (and industry representatives are definitely interested), the program is more broadly a demonstration of the potential of nano-satellites. CubeSats can be built and launched cheaply and quickly, and universities and other scientific organizations have come up with hundreds of applications for them. "There have been all kinds of missions," Shiroma says. "Some have been scientific, like collecting weather data. Others have a camera on board so you can take images over various parts of the Earth. Others simply demonstrate a new type of technology. … By putting it into something very inexpensive, they can test it." That's the promise of CubeSat.
Beyond all these practical considerations, there's something poetic about the UH CubeSat. "Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian tradition," Martin says, "a Hawaiian word meaning 'to make things right.' We're using that as an analogy, because the whole process of calibration is to make something right."
If all goes well, maybe Ho'oponopono can make right that disaster of seven years ago in the high desert of Kazakhstan.

Kaiser Permanente Comes Into Its Own
When the war came to an end, the shipyard workforce fell from 90,000 to just 13,000 employees in only a few months. Only about a dozen of the 75 members of the medical group remained. But Dr. Garfield wanted to keep practicing his new form of health care delivery, and Kaiser wanted the plan to continue as well.
Therefore, on October 1, 1945, the Permanente Health Plan officially opened to the public. In 10 years, enrollment surpassed 300,000 members in Northern California. In these early years, the success of the health plan was largely the result of support from unions. Two unions, the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union and the Retail Clerks Union were the driving force behind bringing the health plan to Los Angeles..
In 1952, the name of the Health Plan and the Hospitals was changed from Permanente, which some felt had little meaning outside the organization, to Kaiser, which had high recognition nationally because of Kaiser Industries and Henry J. Kaiser himself. The medical group chose to keep the Permanente name, in part to clarify that they were not employees of Henry J. Kaiser.
Thus, the organization known in modern times as Kaiser Permanente was born. We are still a working partnership of two organizations: the not-for-profit Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals, and the Permanente Medical Groups.
