A-PLUS ACT (NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND REFORM) -- (House of Representatives - March 13, 2007)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address important changes to the No Child Left Behind Act. I recently held a roundtable discussion on this issue with my constituents from all over the Fifth District held in Forsyth County, North Carolina. It was a great opportunity for me to hear from superintendents, board of education members, principals and teachers from across the district about their concerns with No Child Left Behind and their recommendations for program improvements.
As a member of the House Committee on Education and Labor, it was important for me to hear firsthand what educators believe is working and is not working in No Child Left Behind.
One of the main concerns brought to me during this roundtable was the role that special education students play in the Federal oversight process. Due to the wide-ranging needs and challenges faced by special needs students, it is becoming increasingly difficult for schools to meet Federal standards.
It is apparent that the subgroup of special needs students is not accounted for in the way No Child Left Behind enforces standards on a state-wide basis. In fact, the unique needs of special needs students is often the only reason many of North Carolina's excellent schools do not reach AYP, or average yearly progress.
Based on what North Carolina's educators are saying, the A-PLUS Act is a step in the right direction that responds to the needs of our teachers and students.
The A-PLUS Act preserves States rights while keeping essential funding for our schools intact.
Instead of cumbersome Federal mandates that take a cookie-cutter approach to education, the A-PLUS Act would give States the constitutional freedom to set their own education policies, based on the needs of their students, without burdensome Federal Government intrusion.
This bill reduces the burden that Federal financial support poses on education programs so that teachers can focus on educating instead of paperwork and bureaucratic mandates. We have many wonderful teachers out there doing their best every day to do their job, and they are distracted from doing their job by this paperwork.
By giving States back their full constitutional right to set education policy, this bill will encourage innovative solutions to the unique education issues faced by every State.
The A-PLUS Act provides States and their local communities with maximum freedom and flexibility to determine how to improve academic achievement and implement education reforms.
State and local governments should be in control of education policies, and the Federal Government's limits the responsibility should lie in providing incentives and accountability. Thus, A-PLUS allows States and local school systems the freedom to set up local accountability plans.
In conclusion, local accountability places the emphasis where it should be, on students, parents and teachers, instead of on an often unresponsive Federal bureaucracy.
And I want to support the comments made by my colleague from New Jersey, who reminds us that the Constitution doesn't have the word ``education' anywhere in it. It is not the role of the Federal Government to provide for the education of our children. It is the role of the States, the localities and parents, and I applaud him for bringing that to our attention. We need to have that brought to our attention every time the Federal Government starts getting involved in an inappropriate way.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Last week's online Nihon Keizai Shimbun published a strategic "vision" from Teijin (NASDAQ: TINLY.PK), one of the largest and most venerable of Japan's old industrial companies. The Powerpoint presentation (in English.pdf on the company's website) makes absorbing reading and is encouraging, not just for Teijin but also for most of Japan's largest corporates.
Teijin--a quintessentially Japanese basic industry technology-driven conglomerate, primarily producing aramid fibers, carbon fibers, pharmaceuticals, films and plastics--is clearly thinking big thoughts and planning big changes in products, technology, people, and organization to compete in the years and decades ahead. I would venture that most, if not all, of Japan's leading corporates are acting in tandem, beginning with a sobering analysis of global market trends.
For Teijin, the key trends are 1. growing world population , 2. rising demand for fossil fuels and increasing CO2 emissions, and 3. aging of societies and soaring cost of medical care and social security systems worldwide.
Another key trend is increasing absolute and relative importance for the company of ex-Japan Asia and emerging economies, to which sales are expected to grow from 25 percent in 2011 to 30 percent in 2016 and then to 35 percent in 2020.
Teijin's "vision" has them increasing sales from JPY 790 billion in FY 2011 to JPY 1,300 billion in FY 2016, at the same time raising operating income from JPY 34 billion to JPY 100 billion, net income from JPY 11.5 billion to JPY 60 billion, ROA from 5 percent to 8 percent, and ROE from 4 percent to 12 percent.
Whether Teijin hits all these numbers is less important than the resolve--now clear--with which it will strive to do so. My sense is that most large Japanese corporates are by now possessed of an equal measure of resolve to make big changes necessary to survive and grow in today's and tomorrow's brutal, globalized marketplace.
But then we have the huge problem of reforming Japan's domestic service and, especially, agriculture sectors. The chart below comes from a recent analysis by Yamashita Kazuhito, Research Director, Agricultural Policy of the Canon Institute for Global Studies (www.canon-igs.org).
Answering critics who are fear-mongering that accession to a future Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement will cause Japanese agriculture to "collapse," Yamashita points out that it is already collapsing. After reaching an output peak of JPY 11.7 trillion in 1984 the industry has been in steady decline. By 2007 it had shrunk by one-third to JPY 8.2 billion. Meanwhile, the proportion of farmers aged 65 and over has risen from ten percent to 60 percent.
Agriculture is collapsing under the weight of the three pillars of post-WWII government policy: agricultural land use restrictions, rice price supports, and the Nokyo agricultural cooperatives system. I'll pass along details of Yamashita's analysis in a later post.
One of Yamashita's key points is the abysmal productivity of Japanese agriculture, and particularly in rice production. This is to a large extent matter of size of unit of cultivation, as is clearly show in the chart. The left vertical axis shows production costs in yen to produce 60 kgs. of paddy. The horizontal axis is cultivated land area, beginning at 0.5 hectare or less, increasing to over 20 hectares (a hectare is approx. 2.5 acres). The right vertical axis is yen, from minus 2000 to positive 12,000.
The blue line plots production costs per 60 kgs. of paddy over increasing sizes of tilled paddy area. The red bars plot earnings available for farmers producing paddy rice.
The point is clear: to make money--i.e., to be cost competitive and profitable--in rice production, size of farming operation is critical. The larger, the better. Trouble is Japan's rice-growing sector, after six decades of protectionism, government-enforced restrictive land ownership laws, and price support subsidies, is zombified and uneconomic, trapped at the high-cost, loss-making lower-left quadrant of this chart.

Hello from 2012 (Odd how great games can have such lasting impacts, huh?)! I thoroughly enjoyed your explanation of this very thought provoking game! In support of one argument of Ryan casting aside his morals for the best in Rapture, there is a tape in the Farmer's Market of Ryan deciding to use the ADAM to make people open to suggestion, which is one reason he's able to control the splicers himself. Upon my first playthrough, I agreed with most of your ideas presented here. However, I saw a connection between Ryan and Fontaine as a conflict between Capitalism and Socialism. Ryan clearly presented a capitalistic idealism through his following of both Smith and Rand. Fontaine was the people's man, he fought for the working class. However the game shows the horrid atrocities of both. In a socialist society, we have the splicers who've gone crazy and often fight each other for any and all ADAM. On the other hand, we have capitalists that established monarchies in business because others could not feed off another's idea, these elitests let the working class suffer. Either side they chose, the splicers suffered through the greed and selfishness of others. In a society that was ideally selfless as people worked for themselves which, in turn, benefited society, selfishness reigned true as people like Fontaine abused the system. In addition, Fontaine's world made people think they had a choice, that they could choose to better themselves through exploitation of others, yet they only made him stronger and hurt others. Ryan alike, made people think they had many choices, yet the elites forced the layman to work for them and made it impossible for their choice to lead anywhere but to the bottom of the ladder. Sorry if my ideas seem a bit off, I'm not sure how to phrase it other than the faults of Capitalism versus Socialism. Perhaps the faults of government today would be better. One side proposes free market, the actual outcome is one of exploitation. Was Hobbes or Locke correct? I think the game argues for human nature being "tainted". Bioshock isn't just a political critique but a human one, too.

Lack of this option (method, more likely) in the ending is the main inconvenience for me, because that was the way I always walked on in the whole story. There was one other point in the game, when this method was not present: at the choice you erase/rewrite the heretic geth. Though with Legion's explanation about the rewrite way is acceptable for the greater good, it's still a renegade method. There should be a way to communicate with the heretic geth, for example using Legion as an interpreter, and persuade them with reasons to bridge over the schism without forcing. Though, in fact, the lack of this option is logical because of the presence of the Reaper code (it can be seen as "indoctrination for synthetics").

Renewables to supply 80pc energy by 2050
Abu Dhabi, May 9, 2011
Renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydropower could fulfil almost 80 percent of the world's energy demand by 2050 with the right policies, according to a UN report which won backing from governments.
The 26-page study, by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), broadly matched a draft written by scientists. It was approved by government delegates at talks in Abu Dhabi.
Environmental groups hailed the report as a guide to the shift from fossil fuels to combat climate change, a process set to cost trillions of dollars. But they said some draft findings were watered down, partly due to opposition by oil exporters.
"Close to 80 percent of the world energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies," the IPCC said.
The report said moves to cleaner energies including geothermal or ocean energy would help cut greenhouse gas emissions, which it blamed for global warming including floods, droughts, heat waves and rising sea levels.
Growth in renewables has already surged in recent years, and costs are falling, it said. "We see a rapid increase in wind and solar PV (photovoltaic) especially," Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the IPCC, told a news conference.
"It underscores the irreplaceable potential of renewable energies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the lives of people around the world," said Christiania Figueres, head of the UN Climate Change Secretariat in Bonn.
The UN says governments' pledges for cuts in greenhouse gases are insufficient so far to meet an agreed UN goal of limiting rises in global temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees F) above pre-industrial times.
Ottmar Edenhofer, who chaired the report, said there were few limits to the theoretical potential for renewable energies. "However, the substantial increase of renewables is technically and politically very challenging," he said.
Scenarios for the share of renewables in world supplies by 2050 ranged widely, from just 15 per cent to 77 per cent. Renewables now account for about 12.9 per cent of world energy supplies and are dominated by bioenergy such as firewood in developing nations, and followed by hydropower, wind, geothermal, solar power and ocean energy.
Environmentalists said some language favourable to renewables was toned down, partly by Opec nations led by Saudi Arabia.
"There are all sorts of 'mights' and 'mays' introduced," said Jean-Philippe Denruyter, manager of global renewable energy policy for the WWF conservation group. "It's not a big problem. We are quite positive about the outcome."
Sven Teske of Greenpeace, an IPCC author, said the summary had muted, for instance, clearer statements that some renewable energies were already cost effective. Still, he added that the underlying findings "will be the standard book for renewables".
The underlying IPCC report, of about 1,000 pages, was written by about 120 experts. The Abu Dhabi talks were to get governments to endorse the summary for policymakers, a step meant to give its conclusions global legitimacy.
An IPCC review of 164 scenarios for the shift to renewable energies showed that they could make cumulative carbon dioxide savings of 220-560 billion tonnes from 2010 to 2050. That compares with 1.53 trillion tonnes of cumulative fossil and industrial carbon dioxide emissions in a reference scenario for the same years. - Reuters

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Friday he is encouraged by news that an agreement has been reached to resolve the political crisis in Honduras that began when President Jose Manuel Zelaya was ousted from power in June.
The secretary general "hopes Honduras is now on the path to the full restoration of democratic, constitutional rule", his spokesperson Michele Montas said in a statement.
The deal between Zelaya and the de facto Honduran government was reached in Tegucigalpa Thursday night, Xinhua reported. Zelaya was ousted from power in a coup d'etat June 28.
According to media reports, the deal would allow the deposed president to return to office.
Earlier this month, Navi Pillay, the UN high commissioner for human rights, dispatched a team to Honduras on a three-week mission to look into rights violations in the wake of the June coup.

There is a bewildering array of outdoor gear you can choose from in this day and age, with REI and EMS being almost as common as 7-elevens. However, the popularity of outdoor pursuits have pushed a lot of gear design in the direction of fashion rather than function. "Fast and Light" is just as much of a fashion imperative now as the neon clothing colors were a few years ago. In some cases there is real function there, and in some cases not.
At Hill People Gear, our focus is timeless designs that solve unsolved problems using the best advantages of modern materials. We think in terms of what will work for someone living close to the land day in and day out over a period of time. Some of our products will appeal to hunters, some of them will appeal to soldiers, and some of them will appeal to folks who are looking for simple, functional, and reliable gear. Most of all, we'd like to think that our gear would be the first choice of our "Hill People" forebearers if they were around today.
Hill People Gear is a small family owned company located in Western Colorado. Unless otherwise specified, all products are made in America out of American materials. This means when you spend your hard earned money with HPG, you are helping support American jobs and American families. Yes, the purchase price is higher than products manufactured out of foreign materials in foreign countries, but when you look at the bigger picture, the cost is less.
Evan grew up in the west, including tenures in Colorado, Alaska, Washington, New Mexico, and West Texas. Always on the edge of town, always outdoors. He started sewing using his mom's machine when he was 12. Early on, he sewed a pack that included a side panel design that came out on a Lowe pack the following year. Since the Lowe brothers were heroes of his, Evan was gratifed. His early outdoor resume is rounded out with numerous outdoor adventures both inside and outside of the Boy Scouts, culminating in the rank of Eagle Scout.
Evan went on to major in Anthropology while serving as a forest fire fighter on the Wyoming Hotshots in the summer. After college, he spent over a decade involved in web and software design and architecture in the dot.coms of Seattle. After a welcome return to the land in the form of moving his family to central Oregon, Evan turned the design and engineering skills he had honed in the dot.coms back to a problem area much nearer and dearer to his heart.
Scot grew up alongside Evan across the American west, and also achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He parlayed his Boy Scout experience into 5 seasons with the Forest Service as a trail crew member and wilderness ranger. Scot worked in the San Juans of southern Colorado and the Gila of southern New Mexico performing a wide gammut of duties including horseback patrol, horse packing, trail construction and maintenance, fire fighting, sawyer / feller, and gear buying.
On the San Juan, Scot was very involved in Leave No Trace instruction and wilderness preservation. He gained some notoriety with his hard line stance about not using helicopters to evacuate people from wilderness areas who didn't have life threatening injuries. Above all, Scot spent months on end traveling and living in the back country during his tenure with the Forest Service.
Today, Scot is an environmental consultant and master of the "why can't you design a piece of gear that does such and such" question.

Coming in at number six, Acura Integras are stolen more often than everything but the Accord, the Civic, the Camry, the Corolla, and the Chevy Silverado.There are a number of different groups that measure car theft rates, and each group seems to turn up with different results (last year's IIHS report was entirely composed of trucks and SUVs), so the Acura may not top all lists.What's amazing is that even the youngest Integra is just turning 13 years old, and the most ancient models hail from 1985.

C'mon a 22" Striper IS a good fish
With all the fish reports blasting across the net now, I have to laugh. I can not believe how many guys are reporting Stripers caught in the low to mid 20 inch range casually, as if they are just another 15" schoolie. God I love fish like that on the fly. And whenever I get one you're sure to hear me screaming like an idiot (which isn't very often, I catch one that is).

RE:C'mon a 22
I agree. It's a sad day when one no longer appreciates a good fat schoolie on a fly rod. That's like someone who can't appreciate an 8" wild brookie in Vermont.
I will contend though that there are those times when quantities of cookie-cutter fish are 'appreciated' for the number of fish as opposed to the quality of fish, and at these times it would probably be better to choose the least damaging technique of angling and/or move on in search of bigger challenges. Right now (May), the sizes of the stripers are mixed. We are literally catching rats on one cast and keepers or near keepers on the next. We are also driven by the desire to shake off winter's shackles. It's a great time to fly fish and enjoy the school bass, as well as the bonus surprise keeper. These mixed bags tend to sort out by late May/June and the brood fish arrive. At that time there is an opportunity to apply different techniques to target bigger fish away from the schoolie pods. So I agree completely about appreciation of every striper no matter what size, I do contend though that during mid-season anglers who robotically catch schoolie after schoolie year after year to say they caught 40 or 50 as opposed to hunting one good fish (and perhaps failing) are missing the point IMHO. BTW - Terry: this really had nothing to do with your initial statement on appreciating every 22" striper... just a mental segue and was not intended to imply counterpoint. |

For the five remaining Republican presidential candidates, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday was just another workday as they tried to improve their chances for an impressive showing in Saturday's critical South Carolina primary.
A decisive win by front-runner Mitt Romney would probably spell the end of the race for at least one and maybe more of his rivals. So Monday night's Fox News debate in Myrtle Beach was one of the last opportunities for his competitors for the nomination to make the winner of the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary seem less like the inevitable nominee.
On that score, while his rivals scored points against him, none seemed to do anything to upend his candidacy and Romney, for his part, committed no major gaffes. So the former Massachusetts governor still seemed to have a good shot at winning South Carolina, a state which has voted for every eventual Republican nominee since 1980.
But his two strongest challengers in South Carolina, Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, and Rick Santorum, the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, had solid performances that could attract some voters to their ranks before the weekend.
That said, here are some of what we'll remember, at least for a few hours, about about the King Day, Myrtle Beach, S.C. debate:
Romney fumbled the tax-return question: For weeks, Romney has been asked about releasing his personal tax returns like other leading candidates have done in past election cycles.
Romney has resisted, with many observers guessing that his resistance could spring from the very real possibility that the super wealthy Romney's effective tax rate could be 15 percent, far lower than the rate at which middle class Americans pay their taxes.
You would have thought that Romney would have already worked out a straightforward answer to the question of whether and when he would release his tax returns.
He apparently hadn't, however, and it showed. He gave what was one of his most convoluted answers of any debate, leaving the impression that he might release them in April but then saying "time will tell" and then indicating that he was only considering releasing them because "we're showing a lot of exposure at this point," a campaign vulnerability. That sounded a lot like a variation of his infamous: "I'm running for office, for Pete's sake."
Santorum outdebated Romney: Early in the debate, Santorum outpointed Romney, and by a large margin, when he rhetorically duked it out with the former governor over an ad a pro-Romney superPAC hit Santorum with.
In the ad, the pro-Romney superPAC accused Santorum of, while in Congress, voting for a bill that would have restored voting rights to convicted felons once they had fully paid their debt to society.
The back and forth got a bit into the weeds, but Santorum essentially put Romney on the spot by asking him if he would forever disenfranchise such citizens. After dancing around a bit, Romney said he would only deny restoration of voting rights to those convicted of violent crimes, essentially agreeing in major part with the former senator.
Santorum seized on the fact that it was MLK Day and that, as such, it was especially important to have the discussion about restoring the voting rights of citizens, particularly African Americans who are disproportionately imprisoned on non-violent drug offenses.
Score one for Santorum who carries the hopes of much of the evangelical community or, more accurately, its leaders who over the weekend chose him as the conservative candidate to rally around in a bid to stop Romney.
Gingrich isn't Mr. Sensitivity on racial issues: Juan Williams of Fox News elicited one of the debate's most indelible moments when he asked the former speaker if he couldn't see that saying that black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps, and that poor kids lacked a work ethic was insulting to many people, and not just African Americans.
"No, I don't see that," Gingrich said, getting one of the evening's loudest ovations. Of course, there was some irony in that Williams who caused a controversy in 2010 when he said people in traditional Muslim garb made him nervous on airplanes, was demanding sensitivity from Gingrich.
Gingrich took the opportunity to lash out at liberals, intimating that they opposed poor people getting jobs or even earning incomes at all, which can only be believed by people who either don't know many liberals or only know those best defined as extreme or fringe.
When Williams pressed Gingrich, the former speaker resorted to one of his favorite charges that President Obama is the "most successful food stamp president in history."
Of course, that probably has more than anything else to do with the nation still recovering from the worst recession since the Great Depression, food stamps not existing in the 1930s and the U.S. population being significantly larger than during previous major economic downturns.
The South Carolina audience, which was one of the most vociferous of all the debates, ate up Gingrich's pushback, demonstrating that though the state may have a black Republican congressman (Rep. Tim Scott) and an Indian American governor, racially themed messages can still get some white voters' blood stirred up.
Paul is the total opposite of Romney: If the Massachusetts governor is suspected of saying whatever he thinks the voters he's trying to appeal to want to hear, the Texas congressman can never be accused of that.
In a debate with a number of lively moments, some of the most energetic came when Paul said perhaps the U.S. should consider a foreign policy and national security version of the Golden Rule, "Don't do to other nations what we don't want them to do to us. We endlessly bomb these countries then we wonder why they get upset with us?"
That drew some of the loudest boos from some in the audience of the evening, supporters of a more muscular U.S. posture in the world.
But when Paul added that the U.S. should stop "warmongering" and bring its troops home from overseas deployments, his supporters in the audience cheered and clapped.
It was the one moment that demonstrated why the conventional wisdom is that Paul won't get the nomination.
But it also demonstrated why Paul's admirers remain so steadfast. For them he's a refreshing change, a politician willing to challenge his party's orthodoxy.
Rick Perry makes few friends in Turkey: In what would have been a major gaffe if it mattered, which it doesn't since he's so far back in the pack, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Turkey is led by Islamic terrorists.
That assertion came as a surprise to many, probably not the least the Turkish government led by Prime Minister Reccep Erdogan. His Justice and Development party is socially conservative and has been called Islamist-leaning by Western journalists but that's a label party officials themselves haven't embraced.
The Turkey statement wasn't the only one by the Texas governor to raise eye-brows. Sounding the states' rights theme which is one of his favorites, he also declared that the federal government was at war with South Carolina and that the Obama administration was at war with religion.
Perry has hoped all along to be the candidate of the Tea Party movement and Christian evangelicals. But while they have been desperate for a candidate to rally behind, they're not so desperate as to rally behind him.
With Jon Huntsman Jr. dropping out of the race Monday and endorsing Romney after coming in third in New Hampshire, a state where he staked it all, the question is who is most likely to drop out next after South Carolina?
The educated guess is that it will be Perry who, like Huntsman, has staked everything on an early primary state — in his case South Carolina — but has very high odds against seeing his gamble pay off.

Humble Captain Looks Back On Legendary Career
by Staff Writer / New York RangersIn a formal news conference, held at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, Messier faced family, friends, longtime teammates and others, thanking everyone who contributed to his Hall of Fame career. The only man to captain two different franchises to Stanley Cup victories made it clear that the thing he appreciated most about his playing days were all the people he met along the way.
Messier initially announced his plans to retire on Sept. 12 of last year, when the Rangers organization began preparing for Thursday's "Celebration of the Captain." The eagerly-awaited Mark Messier Night ceremony, which precedes the Rangers' game against the Edmonton Oilers, will be Rangers fans' chance to honor the man who in 1994 led them to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years.
Wednesday's press conference, part of the lead-up to Mark Messier Night, was the first time Messier had discussed retirement with a formal gathering of hockey reporters. And although it had been more than 21 months since The Captain last played in a Rangers uniform, the raw emotion of the moment was entirely palpable. A choked-up Messier fought through tears as he recalled key moments in his career and reflected on what it meant to play hockey in New York.
"One of the things that makes it so special is the people. I am fortunate to have met some unbelievable people right from Day One all the way through to the end," he said. "I think that alone is the one thing that is the most important thing for me - the people and friendships that I've made over the last 26 years or more."
Even the Stanley Cup, the Conn Smythe Trophy and the Hart Trophy were on hand Wednesday afternoon for Messier's news conference, which was televised live on MSG Network and streamed over the internet. Rangers broadcaster John Davidson served as the emcee, and joining Messier and Davidson on the stage were four men who were all very much a part of The Captain's NHL experience.
There was Rangers president and general manager Glen Sather, Messier's first NHL coach with Edmonton, whose ties to the Messier family went back to his own junior hockey days playing against Mark's father, Doug. There was Edmonton Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe, who played more games as Messier's teammate than any other NHL player. There was NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, who so memorably presented Messier the Stanley Cup in 1994, and there was Madison Square Garden Chairman James L. Dolan, who brought Messier back to New York in 2000, enabling him to finish his career with the Rangers.
Dolan, speaking first, noted that there have been almost 900 men to wear the Rangers uniform, but Messier would become only the fourth to have his number retired by the team. He said he could not think of anyone more deserving of this "honor awarded so rarely" - for his off-ice achievements as well as what he did on the ice The MSG Chairman noted that having No. 11 in the Garden rafters would let the world know that Mark Messier "will always be a New York Ranger."
Bettman then took the podium, calling Messier "truly one of the legends of the game." He said he believed Messier was one of the great captains in all of sports and that nobody could be better at leading a team.
"Having your name forever in the rafters of Madison Square Garden is an honor you so richly deserve," said the NHL commissioner.
For Sather, a chance to reflect on Messier's career was an opportunity to speak of his close relationship with the Messier family. He said would never forget that Mark, after winning his first of six Stanley Cup championships in 1984, threw his gloves in the stands and then waved at his family members, who had seen him reach hockey's pinnacle in his own hometown. That moment, Sather said, made him realize just how special Messier was, not just as a player, but as a person.
Sather also recalled the day in September 1991, when he traded Messier to the Rangers.
"One of the toughest decisions I had to make was when we traded him to New York from Edmonton," said Sather. "It wasn't a lot of fun to watch that team be dismantled. We had a lot of great players, and he was the heart and soul of that club."
After the trade, Sather told former Rangers GM Neil Smith just how much Messier would do for the team, and the praise was so glowing that Sather wasn't sure Smith believed him.
"He's been the kind of player that everyone in this league can look up to and follow," said Sather. "He's been a great example for every player in the league. To have his number hanging in the Garden is just tremendous for us."
The last of the guests to pay tribute to Messier was Lowe, who suited up for more than 1,000 NHL games as a teammate and assisted on 43 of Messier's 694 career goals. As teen-agers, Lowe and Messier were selected by Edmonton in the same 1979 NHL Entry Draft, and Lowe can still remember that first year with the Oilers.
"Wayne (Gretzky) was the star," Lowe recalled. "But Mark was Edmonton's citizen and native son."
Lowe concluded his remarks by discussing what it meant for him to take part in his longtime captain's farewell news conference.
"I have been fortunate in my NHL career to win championships and play in All-Star Games, and ... I've also been asked to assist Wayne Gretzky in selecting Canada's Olympic team," Lowe said. "But I've had no greater thrill than to be asked to be here today and sit beside you, Mark."
After Lowe spoke, a short video about Messier's career was played, leading right into Davidson's introduction of Messier himself. This was not the first time Messier had been introduced to the New York media in a grand setting, but it was the first time he was not wearing a Rangers jersey for them.
Messier began to compare the anticipation of Thursday's "Celebration of the Captain" festivities to the way he would feel at the beginning of an NHL season when he looked ahead to big games on the schedule. As he made this comparison, he began to fight back tears, clearly overcome by the emotion of the moment.
He then read a letter to the Rangers fans, whom he said he had referred to as "The Garden Faithful" during his playing days. As he recalled his first encounter with the true blue crowd -- a ceremony preceding the 1991-92 home opener, -- emotion overcame him again.
"When J.D introduced me as the next captain of the New York Rangers, I felt a tremendous pride," he read. "But I never expected to be greeted with that kind of ovation. I remember saying to myself as the crowd roared 'I will die trying to bring the Stanley Cup to the fans of New York.' And with that ovation on opening night, a relationship began with you that I will never forget and I will cherish forever."
Messier's love of the city and its people was evident throughout his speech Wednesday, particularly when he discussed the day he returned to New York in 2000 and when he looked back at the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, noting the city's indomitable spirit.
"Having had the chance to finish my career here was obviously a dream come true," Messier said.
He concluded his remarks by thanking those who had helped him in his career, giving special mention to Sather.
"Other than my dad, nobody believed in me more and did more for me as a person and a player than you did, Glen," he said through tears.
After his prepared remarks, Messier took questions from the media. He explained that he would not carry feeling of sadness into the Jan. 12 ceremony but rather a sense of celebration for all the people that "I have been blessed to have around me." Everyone he had encountered in his years at Madison Square Garden had meant something to him, he said, and this would be a chance for him to acknowledge that.
He also made it clear that he did not see Jan. 12, 2006, as an end to the era that included the 1994 Stanley Cup championship, but rather as a kind of reunion, similar to the Mike Richter Night event two years ago. He also said he looked forward to being part of such reunions in the future.
'Trying to condense the last 26 years into 10 minutes or one night is obviously difficult," he said. "I'm looking at it, I guess, as a celebration."
Asked if he would return to hockey in another capacity, Messier acknowledged that was in the back of his mind.
"I feel I will be involved in hockey in some capacity when the time is right," he said. "This might seem like the final chapter, but I think there are more chapters to write."

Course reviews
+0 votes Stephen Montgomery › January 18, 2011
Course is short and open for the most part, save 16 and 18 which are around 500 ft. I play this course with a putter and one driver.
+0 votes Tommy Bronson Jr › July 4, 2012
Very fun but EASY! Great course to play skins at if you want to push a lot of holes.
+0 votes Jameson H. › March 8, 2012
It's a good warm up course. Trees need to be planted to define fairways, teepads and block some of the wind. The practice pin and driving net are nice attributes!
+0 votes Zevon Adkisson › July 13, 2012
Very open course with only a couple of long holes on the last few. Fun but not very challenging.
+0 votes Sabrina J › July 2, 2014
I really enjoyed how beautiful the view was the entire time I was playing, including the fox that trotted across the field. I'm a beginner, so I enjoyed that this course was pretty easy compared to others I've played. It was a great opportunity to practice my drives.

But first, let me give a couple of old fashioned definitions. No Greek [excuse the pun] just Webster's dictionary. "Narcissism"...undue dwelling on one's own self, achievements,attainments or beliefs. "Laziness"...disliking exertion. You get the picture. Eyes for no one but me or mine and an unwillingness to exert energy or time thinking about someone else's thoughts or ideas.
He went on to say, "for some people, the pain of examining their own inner struggles, weaknesses, and failures [which we all have] is so great that they pathologically focus on what they do, believe, and accomplish, and must be correct in it all. [This is to avoid having to face those inner struggles and failures.] Their desire to be correct in accomplishments and beliefs, born out of this fear of personal inner inspection,leads them to an intellectual laziness about engaging ideas that are held by another. So, you have a person who becomes argumentative, opinionated, hateful and judgemental.
You can't dialogue with them because that takes two people listening as well as talking, and you'd better not disagree with them because that is an affront to their need to be right."
Well, I don't know much about the human personality but I think I've met some of these people. One thing for sure, I don't want to "be" one of these people.
By the way, do denominations have personalities?

Not in my opinion. They aren't persons.
My freshman year in High School, our yearbook won national awards. It was the retirement year of the veneral principal who'd been there for eons. The theme of the yearbook was "An Institution is the Lengthened Shadow of One Man".
I think that's the case with denominations. Maybe a few men. But you get the idea.
If the shadow ain't Jesus, we're barking up the wrong tree. - 24/8/06 8:27 PM
As much as I dislike encounters with the type people you describe, these encounters have thaught me that I surely would rather see, than be, one.
- Bowden McElroy said...
I think your friend almost got it right. Narcissistic people don't have a "need" to be right; they have a world view that simply precludes any possiblity of being wrong.
Therefore, there is no "pain" involved in examining their failures because they have no failures. They may have been the victim of others' conspiracies or incompetence, but they have never failed.
Narcissists don't dialogue, they blame.
(BTW, ask your friend about "pathological narcissism": what, exactly, would healthy narcissism look like?) - 24/8/06 11:37 PM
- Paul Burleson said...
I do get the idea, sadly.
I agree. And I'd rather not be around one either for that matter.:)
Great thoughts. Since I know little about this stuff I'll ask him. But it looks to me as if it could be a little like "unique". There is no "very unique" or "almost unique". It is "unique" and that's it. [But some do seem to be a little farther along in "unique" than others don't they even if the english language won't permit it. :)]

Good article. Your friend is very insightful. Unfortunately there have been times in my life when I found myself on the negative side of what he was describing. When, by the grace of God, I was able to begin honestly examining myself, it radically changed my perspective on a lot of things.
I enjoyed your blog and will be back. - 26/8/06 12:14 PM
- Paul Burleson said...
Welcome. Glad you've dropped by.
I'm not sure just how accurate my friend is in terms of classic definitions, but, he nailed me with enough truth that I knew where of he spoke from my own experience unfortunately.
Makes one really grateful for the GRACE of God.
Paul - 26/8/06 12:39 PM
While a denomination by itself would not have a personality, I think the style of worshp, teaching of the bible, congregational attitudes and other factors would probably appeal to people of a certain personality. And that would lead to a sense of "personality" for a denomination.
One example of this understanding of personality would be seen in the area of musical syles in worship. Some denominations would prefer a high church approach to music and others would not even know what a pipe organ is. I am sure we could think of many other examples of differences in denomination that could be seen as "personality." - 29/8/06 1:26 AM
- Bryan Riley said...
I would add that I think blogging is a perfect haven for one with such a personality and have worried that God is working on my own flirtations with self-centeredness through my flirtations with blogging. How many times have you written something that was intellectually lazy but you wanted everyone to see and agree with??? Ugh. Guilty. I hate it. Lord save me. I also believe I have seen others who exemplified this as well. We definitely should pray often and fervently that our comments and posts would do nothing to make God's reputation empty!!!!

Whatever else you want to say about AMC's dramas, you can say this: They're really good at setting a mood. The cable channel's newest series, "The Killing," looks like it will fit right in with "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" on that front.
In this case, the mood is one of dread.
The show, which premieres April 3, takes a long look at the murder of a teenage girl named Rosie Larsen (played by Katie Findlay) in Seattle. Each episode will cover a day in the investigation as intertwines the stories of the lead detective on the case (Mireille Enos, "Big Love"), Rosie's parents (Michelle Forbes, "True Blood," and Brent Sexton, "Life") and a Seattle politician (Billy Campbell, "The 4400") who has an interest in the case. ("The Killing" is based on a series from Denmark called "Forbrydelsen.")
We'll find out over the course of the spring whether the show as a whole lives up to the visuals that the two videos below provide. But that shot of a line of cops scouring a field kind of knocks us out. We're very curious to see how "The Killing" unfolds.
Take a look below at a trailer for the series and a making-of video with comments from cast members and creator Veena Sud ("Cold Case"). Does "The Killing" look like something you'll watch?

The overall idea that stays at the basis of Squirt4Real is pretty good and I think that it's very unique too, I have personally known Jamie and she's a cool person, very funny and sexy as well. However I think that 26 videos are not enough and they should also add more professional photo galleries. Out of all the girls that are featuring the updates my favorite has been Melissa, she is of course a hot brunette and knows how to have fun! Visit Jamie James

About Thralla:
My main is Ishmaelle, a Death Knight on Arthas, where I spend a lot of time ingame with three generations of family and both RL and IG friends.
Horde side I'm slowly (read that as it will take all expac) transfering all my horde characters to Madoran to play with the great pet collecting community there in the WarcraftPets Guild. My characters there are currently: Thralla, Orc Hunter and Yawning Tiger Pandaren Mage.
As an altoholic, my current goal is to play a female of every race to max level and have all professions both Horde and Alliance side.
In RL I have four companion pets. The Odd Couple: Alecks, a 13 year old orange tabby who loves to curl up on my neck (and back of the chair) while I play, and Elvis, a three year old black and white cat found abadoned in a little stone church in the desert when he was just a few weeks old. The Boys: Blue and Bear, two and half year old Black Lab brothers.
For a job I get the distinct enjoyment of organizing brains. =D That, by the way, is not a joke, I really do organize brains by filling in missing pieces of neurologic development. While I work with clients from all over, I spend most of my days in a community for adults with intellectual challenges.

Mario Manningham confirmed Monday that he has
been medically cleared to return from his concussion for Week 4 against
the Cardinals.

He'll probably avoid the injury report. Manningham
caught seven passes for 105 yards in the Giants' first two games,
before sitting out Week 3. He's an excellent buy-low target for
receiver-needy fantasy owners. The Cardinals field quite possibly the
worst pass defense in football, already having allowed 100-plus yard
games to Steve Smith South, Fred Davis, and Sidney Rice. Manningham's
return will remove Victor Cruz from the starting lineup.

People with big bank accounts and dreams of restaurant ownership often approach Frank Diaz for advice at dinner parties.
"What many people have is an urge, a fantasy, to be around food," says Diaz, a restaurant consultant at Diaz-Schloss Communications in Montclair, N.J., "but not a great understanding of what it takes to run a restaurant."
"What they really want," he says, "is a familiar place to go every night where they can impress their friends." He tells them to give their investment money to a broker–and become big spenders at a favorite restaurant instead. "That way," he says, "they can get all the perks they're looking for and none of the headaches."
Diaz is not being cynical, just realistic. After 14 years of consulting, he's seen how brutal the business can be. Yes, it can be exhilarating and rewarding. But running a restaurant is as relentless as it is unpredictable.
And, compared with other 100-hour-a-week jobs, the money isnt even that great. New York restaurateur Danny Abrams, who has opened popular and successful Manhattan venues like the Red Cat, the Mermaid Inn, and his latest, Smith's, says he remembers some of his "silent" Wall Street investors laughing out loud when he proudly announced they were netting 16% at the Harrison, a downtown establishment they had helped back, which was packing in diners with modern twists on classic American fare.
"I told them 16% was considered top dollar for the industry, and they said, 'you work this hard for that kind of money? You're crazy!' "
But, surely, there's a glamor dividend?
"Yes, some nights it can be a charmed existence. But some nights, you're plunging toilets," says Bill Stenehjem, a former high school intervention counselor for New York City public schools, who, after 50, opened the Stonehome Wine Bar in his Brooklyn neighborhood with his artist wife, Rose Hermann.
What the couple found is that "one can have a successful dinner party life, and it really doesn't translate," he says. "There is a lot more science and a lot less art in doing this day after day." It's taken a few years, but the cozy neighborhood hangout seems to have found its groove.
His advice: Have fat reserves.
"Start-up costs are always far beyond what you imagined," he says. "You think you're going to spend a $100 per bar stool. But then you see the $300 bar stool and you think, It's so much nicer and I'm going to make that money back immediately.' That's the other fallacy." He estimates that Stonehomes start-up costs, by the time it opened its doors, were about $450,000. Also keep in mind that it takes a few years to begin turning a profit.
One study by researchers at Ohio State University showed that up to 60% of restaurants failed within three years, with the first year seeing the most casualties. (That figure is even higher in places like New York where the competition is fierce).
Richard Gordon, a Boston criminal prosecutor turned restaurant owner, came close to calling it quits within the first year. Gordon, 44, had always been an armchair restaurateur. "I'd see a great spot and say, 'wouldn't this make the perfect little bakery?' "
When the ideal space became available just down the street from his house in Boston's South End, he thought it was fate. His business partner, a banker, bought it as an investment.
"It was too small for my bakery/catering concept, but I thought I would just open it and everything would fall into place." After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars remodeling, Gordon says, "I walked in and thought: This is never going to work." The kitchen was still only 400 square feet–too tight for catering, and for the chef, apparently, who walked out. His start-up costs, including buying equipment, initial inventory, and the space itself, plus paying a chef for several months as the opening was delayed by construction, came to about $850,000.
Fortunately, he'd chosen a good name, South End Buttery, and he'd had the good marketing sense to name his signature cupcakes after his three dogs, Madison, Harriet and Simon. That got him buzz-worthy mentions in the local press. But Gordon never sat down and figured out just how much those cupcakes cost to make. The good-natured young people he had hired couldn't compensate for his experiential shortcomings.
"I was bleeding money, wearing all the management hats and sleeping four hours a night," remembers Gordon. He called Michela Larson and Gary Sullivan, two established restaurateurs, and begged them to buy him out. Instead, Larson and Sullivan, who were in the throes of opening Rocca Kitchen and Bar, also in Boston's South End, helped him with his business plan.
In many ways, Gordon's mistakes were textbook, they said.
What new restaurateurs don't realize is that "80% of the restaurant's success is sealed before you open the doors," says Sullivan. Developing a unique concept, finding a great location, negotiating a smart lease, making good hires and figuring out your budget, all are the price of admission.
Even with these elements in place, says Larson, who has opened five restaurants in the Boston area, "Restaurants are like babies. They take six months before they can sleep through the night."
Richard Melman has opened over 130 restaurants nationally as the founder of Chicago-based Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises. He says Larson's comparison is apt. "Unlike banking or real estate, restaurants require a lot of mothering. That's why a good businessman doesn't necessarily make a good restaurateur." Once the doors are open, there's a level of personal involvement required that few people are able to give.
The first Chicago restaurant Melman opened 30 years ago was so successful out of the gate that he moved to California for some extended relaxation. After six months, his accountant had some sobering news: "He told me we'd netted $2,300. I nearly fell off my chair," Melman says. "Just because you're busy doesn't mean you're making money, and if you're not paying attention, it can all slip away."
Despite his early stumbles, Gordon, the former Boston prosecutor, is now expanding. He's hired the right staff so he can sleep again, and he has learned to stick to his budget. A couple of weeks ago, he was walking home from work when he overheard three women chatting about their favorite neighborhood eating spots.
"Have you tried the South End Buttery?" asked one. "I couldn't live without the Buttery," said the other. Gordon kept mum.
"It was all the affirmation I needed that I'd made the right decision to pursue my fantasy," he says. "I don't think I'll ever go back to practicing law."

2nd World Tour Title: 2NE1 AON (ALL OR NOTHING)
[스포츠조선 이정혁 기자] 2NE1 unveiled the title for their 2nd World Tour and new album.
In the afternoon of Jan 15, a poster uploaded on YG Entertainment's official blog (www.yg-life.com) revealed a phrase: '2NE1 AON (ALL OR NOTHING) / 2014 WORLD TOUR & NEW ALBUM.'
The silhouettes of 2NE1 are taking a step forward into space, a symbol of a new start, while also connoting their re-appearance on stage. This will be a hint for yet-to-be-unveiled information on their World Tour and the concept of their new album.
Starting from concerts at Seoul Songpagu Olympic Park SK Handball Arena on March 1 and 2, 2NE1 is set to kick off their 2nd grand World Tour.
Tickets for Seoul concerts, the first ones in line, will be available on Gmarket on Jan 21 and 22.
Fans are extremely excited about the upcoming concert, as 2NE1 showcased new songs last year including 'Falling in Love,' 'Do You Love Me,' and 'Missing You,' along with CL's 'The Baddest Female.' More expectations build up as it is said the two world-renown directors Travis Payne and Stacy Walker will once again join in on the girls' World Tour.
2NE1, after South Korea, will be visiting 9 countries including Japan and China, meeting fans in 13 cities including Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore and Yokohama for their 17 concerts. All eyes are on the girls to see what they've got this time for the international fans.
2014. 1. 15.

Why Young Males Are No Longer the Most Important Tech Demographic 240
An anonymous reader writes "The Atlantic has an article discussing how 18- to 35-year-old males are losing their place as the most important demographic for tech adoption. 'Let me break out the categories where women are leading tech adoption: internet usage, mobile phone voice usage, mobile phone location-based services, text messaging, Skype, every social networking site aside from LinkedIn, all Internet-enabled devices, e-readers, health-care devices, and GPS. Also, because women still are the primary caretakers of children in many places, guess who controls which gadgets the young male and female members of the family get to purchase or even use?' The article points out that most of the tech industry hasn't figured this out yet — perhaps in part to a dearth of women running these companies."
