Stedman and Gromacki Earn WBCA All-Region Honors
ATLANTA, GA – The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), in cooperation with State Farm, announced the finalists for the 2010 State Farm Coaches’ All-America Team for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Included among the 40 finalists is Amherst College sophomore Caroline Stedman (Walpole, MA). Additionally, Amherst head coach G.P. Gromacki was named the Region 1 Division III Coach of the Year.
With voting by WBCA member coaches in each of the eight WBCA geographical regions completed, the top five players from each region are now in the running for selection to the 10-member State Farm Coaches’ All-America Team. Stedman’s inclusion on the five-player Region 1 team marks the third straight season that an Amherst player is in the running for All-America honors, following Jaci Daigneault’s and Shaina Pollack's selections in 2009 and 2007, respectively.
Today’s honor is just the latest for Stedman this season, who already has earned the 2010 NESCAC Player of the Year title. Along with her player of the year selection, Stedman was selected to the All-NESCAC First Team. Fellow NESCAC First Team member, Colby’s Alison Cappelloni joins Stedman on the Region 1 team. Rounding out the five from this region are Jessica Chapin (Brandeis University), Melissa Teel (Western Conn.) and Nicole Wurdeman (Babson College).
Stedman and the Lord Jeffs will take on archrival Williams College on Friday night at 7 p.m. in the Sectional Semifinals of the 2010 NCAA Division III Tournament at LeFrak Gymnasium. With a win over the Ephs, Amherst will face either Gettysburg or Babson College in the national quarterfinals on Saturday at 6 p.m. with a spot in the 2010 “Final Four” on the line. To read a full preview of this weekend's action at Amherst, visit our NCAA Sectional page.
During Amherst’s pair of NCAA Tournament wins over MCLA and Southern Maine in the first two rounds, Stedman was once again a steady force for the Jeffs. Stedman is averaging 12.5 points per game, 4.5 rebounds per game, 2.0 assists per game, and 2.0 steals per game during the NCAA Tournament, leading Amherst into the Sectionals for the third straight season.
Gromacki is no stranger to winning awards for his work with the Lord Jeffs either. Last season, Gromacki was named the D3hoops.com Northeast Coach of the Year, while this year he has already garnered the NESCAC Coach of the Year title. Gromacki's Lord Jeffs are ranked No. 1 in both the WBCA and D3hoops.com polls, and are the top seed in the NCAA Tournament with a 29-0 record. During his three seasons at Amherst, Gromacki has posted an amazing 85-7 record, and has reached the Sectionals each year.
Our NCAA Sectional page also contains more information about how to get your tickets to this weekend's games, and also tells you how you can help us "White-Out" LeFrak Gymnasium on Friday night.

Why do I do this? Because I have to have to have to have to have to have to do this.
Because he wants me to be a beige thing, soft and round. If I am moving, moving, nothing keeps up, nothing holds on. It all falters and tumbles in my wake.
I know this is not the usual way. I know there are other ways. I’m willing. I’m open. Show me your
version of the unbearable jagged wincing cheek biting howling jig along the building’s ledge that makes you love the world a little bit more once the anguish eases.
Love yourself a little bit more the longer you can endure it.
And thus engaged, hold all else at bay. But until then, I will not be denied this. Because in the marrow of my bones it sings.
In my sleep at night it plucks lovingly at my lashes.

The Houston Texans are seemingly desperate to get their hands on a pass protector for quarterback Deshaun Watson while also solving their problem with a certain pass rusher.
According to a report from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Texans offered the Dolphins Clowney plus a first-round pick for offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. However, the Dolphins countered and asked the Texans throw in another high-round draft pick.
It makes sense from the Dolphins’ point of view. Clowney will not be able to sign an extension with the Dolphins until the end of the 2019 season, as the Texans and Clowney passed the July 15 deadline to negotiate a long-term contract. Because they passed the deadline, the two sides cannot negotiate a long-term deal until the end of the season. The same is true for any team that trades for Clowney.
Because Clowney has not signed his franchise tag, hence why he has been absent from training camp and preseason, he has a makeshift trade clause. If the three-time Pro Bowler does not like the destination, he can refuse to sign and nix any deal the Texans may have with another team.
The 25-year-old from Ole Miss has missed a total of four games in his three seasons in Miami. Tunsil would be a young solution to fortifying an offensive line that was part of Watson sustaining 62 sacks in 2018, the most in the NFL. Houston is searching for ways to solve their offensive line woes while also getting value for Clowney.
Houston drafted Clowney with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft from South Carolina. The former Gamecock has yet to record a double-digit sack season in his five-year career with Houston. The Texans would rely upon defensive end J.J. Watt and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus to generate pressure if they were without Clowney.

UPDATE JUNE 17: Today, in a unanimous vote, the Nevada State Board of Pardons Commissioners passed an amended resolution put forth by member Gov. Steve Sisolak in which those convicted of minor marijuana offenses would be pardoned.
“Today is an historic day for those who were convicted of what has long been considered a trivial crime, and is now legal under Nevada law,” said Gov. Steve Sisolak. “Since the passage of Question 2 in 2016 and the decriminalization of possession for small amounts of marijuana, many Nevadans have had these minor offenses remain on their records, in some cases as a felony. This resolution aims to correct that and fully restore any rights lost as a result of these convictions.”
“Today we took another step toward justice by pardoning thousands of Nevadans for actions that Nevadans decided should no longer be illegal," said Attorney General Aaron D. Ford. "I'm proud to work alongside Governor Sisolak to make it easier for these Nevadans to get jobs, housing, and financial aid for college. Together, we're making criminal justice reform a priority across Nevada."
Prior to January 1, 2017, the possession of one ounce or less of marijuana was a criminal act that could be charged as a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony depending on additional factors. This resolution extends to persons who were previously convicted for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana, and to persons convicted multiple times for this same act.
The resolution summarily pardons thousands of persons previously convicted of this crime — a first for the Nevada State Board of Pardons Commissioners. The Secretary of the Nevada State Board of Pardons Commissioners will create an expedited process for those seeking pardon documents, which will be free of charge and available online.
Other drug crimes are not covered by today’s decision — it is strictly for those previously convicted in the State of Nevada for violations of state and local laws prohibiting the possession of one ounce or less of marijuana not for purpose of sale, including NRS 453.336(4). The resolution does not cover other criminal convictions that may be associated with the underlying marijuana conviction.
Today’s action does not include records sealing, which is outside the scope of the Pardons Board. As a result, although these pardons forgive the underlying crimes, they do not remove the convictions from the person’s criminal records. During the 80th legislative session, the legislature passed and the Governor signed Assembly Bill 192, which provides a streamlined process for sealing convictions for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. This process is entirely free, and can be navigated without the assistance of an attorney.
Today, the Nevada State Board of Pardons Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution I put forward to pardon those convicted of minor marijuana offenses, which are now legal. pic.twitter.com/iqcg0InUp5— Governor Sisolak (@GovSisolak) June 17, 2020
Today, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak announced that he placed a resolution for consideration on the Board of Pardons Commissioners' agenda next week to provide relief to tens of thousands of people who were previously convicted for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
In 2016, Nevadans voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana through a ballot initiative. A provision of the initiative legalized possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. The governor’s proposed resolution would unconditionally pardon individuals previously convicted of possession of one ounce or less of marijuana, not for purpose of sale.
“The people of Nevada have decided that possession of small amounts of marijuana is not a crime,” Gov. Sisolak said. “If approved, this resolution will clear the slate for thousands of people who bear the stigma of a conviction for actions that have now been decriminalized.”
This comes at a time of mass protests, while many people across the country are demanding lawmakers address systemic racism, particularly with prison reform.
13 Action News spoke with a local organization called NORML who works to reform marijuana laws. They say this could be a step in the right direction when repairing trust with law enforcement, and a way to address some racial inequities.
"This is so pivotal right now in today's world," says Madisen Saglibene, with Nevada NORML. "Black and brown lives are 4 times more likely to be arrested for a simple marijuana charge, which can be stacked with another charge, and can lead to incarceration. This has led to a generational impact on our society."
Gov. Sisolak has not yet said why he wants to make these pardon, but the Nevada Board of Pardons will discuss the resolution next week.
The Nevada Board of Pardons Commissioners is comprised of the governor, the justices of the Supreme Court, and the attorney general. The board has been granted statutory authority to pardon or otherwise grant clemency to individuals for prior criminal convictions.

Coinbase vice president of Business and Data Dan Yoo has announced that he will leave the company following its recent ‘apolitical’ culture stance announcement.
Yoo made the announcement on his LinkedIn account on Friday, 9 October.
“In light of the decision the company was asked to make by October 7th, I have decided to leave Coinbase. I have agreed to stay on to help manage a transition through the end of the year, as necessary.”
Yoo has held his position at Coinbase since September 2019 and will be leaving the company just over a year since he joined as Business and Data VP.
Employees take up severance packages
Yoo is the most senior employee to publicly announce that he would be leaving the company after CEO Brian Armstrong announced that the company would no longer allow employees to engage in various activist causes.
Earlier this week Armstrong also revealed that 60 employees, representing 5 percent of Coinbase’s employee base, had opted for severance packages that had been offered to those that did not feel aligned with the company’s new defined culture policy.
Employees that wished to leave the company were also given a fairly short amount of time to act on the severance packages offered. In an internal letter sent to staff that was published by Coindesk, Armstrong offered employees a ‘generous separation package’.
The package included a four months payment period for staff that have worked for the company for less than three years. Employees that have worked at Coinbase for more than three years will be viable for a six month payment package

You Can Destroy Anxiety with This Instead of Drugs, say Doctors
Science Caught up With the Gurus
We have an anxiety problem, collectively, according to a U.S. health task force. Our top worries sound familiar:
- Political and racial unrest
- Climate change
- Inflation and the economy
- Handling the “end” of the pandemic
If any of these issues bother you deeply, you’re not alone. A shocking 40 percent of women and 25 percent of men will experience an actual anxiety disorder at least once in their lives.
Up to now, there’s been two schools of thought as to how to handle this.
- Some choose pharmaceutical drugs to alter the chemical composition of the body and force the mind to feel “happy.”
- Others choose behavioral changes, namely slowing down the pace of modern life and finding peace through inner work like mindfulness meditation.
We hear about “mindfulness,” but what is it, really? It’s a form of meditation that emphasizes focusing on what’s happening in the present moment and dismissing intrusive thoughts. The practice can include breathing exercises, “body scans” and learning to acknowledge yet let go of negative thoughts.
“It changes the relationship people have with their own thoughts,” said lead author Elizabeth Hoge, director of Georgetown University’s Anxiety Disorders Research Program.
The first head-to-head “battle” of drugs verses meditation
A recent study flipped the script on doctors who only push drugs to treat anxiety. It turns out, basic mindfulness meditation is just as effective as a leading anti-anxiety drug, Lexapro.
After two months, severe anxiety declined by about 30% in both groups and continued to decrease during the following four months.
Possible side-effects of the drug:
- Headache and nausea
- Diarrhea and dry mouth
- Sweating, nervousness and restlessness
- Fatigue, or having trouble sleeping (insomnia).
- Sexual side effects, such as problems with orgasm\
- There are also “rare/serious” side effects including low sodium blood levels, teeth grinding, changes in vision and serotonin syndrome where the symptoms may include fever, seizures, and death.
For me, worrying about such side effects would cause enough anxiety without even pondering the world’s various issues… But maybe that’s just me.
The point is, who knows what other problems may lurk when we try to fix issues by treating the symptoms instead of root causes.
Next, let’s look at the side effects of mindfulness meditation, which goes to the root cause of anxiety by addressing our reactions and perceptions.
“Side effects” of mindfulness:
- Better sleep and digestion
- Increased immune function
- Lowered blood pressure
- Increased experience of intuition
- Better attention, clarity and focus
- Feeling connected, calm and internally still
- Appearing younger than your age (according to Harvard)
Thus, not only does mindfulness meditation go to the root cause of anxiety, but its “side effects” are often fringe benefits.
One caution: too much of anything is bad (even water) and mindfulness is no different. Studies have shown that if we overdo mindfulness, we can actually become too sensitive and have issues. Also, mindfulness isn’t for everybody. Some in the study saw an increase of anxiety, though far more saw a reduction.
So, everything in moderation, even your meditation.
In the end, there’s no question that the side effects of drugs are worse than meditation. In fact, of the 200 adults who volunteered in the study, 10 patients on the drug dropped out because of side effects while none dropped out of the mindfulness group.
All in all, next time a doctor offers you a prescription for a mental issue, you may want to consider mindfulness meditation instead.
How to live more mindfully:
- Keep your thoughts in the present moment rather than the past/future.
- Focus on your breath when anxious. This is a great way to stay in the present moment because your breath is happening now.
- Do exercises that mix breathwork and meditation like Qigong.
- Make a radical change many are doing with the Slow Living Lifestyle.

Flow storage company RedT has earned a place on Essentia’s battery storage framework. It means the firm has the green light to supply its systems to the NHS and potentially other public sector organisations, such as local authorities and education providers.
The other companies on the framework are: Bouygues UK, Centrica, EDF Energy, Powerstar and Veolia ES Resource Efficiency.
Essentia is a subsidiary of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. It announced the framework, alongside an LED framework earlier this year. It said the storage framework aims to enable organisations to reduce Triad charges, DUoS charges, Capacity Market Charges and utilise grid incentives such as Firm Frequency Response.
Meanwhile, the LED lighting tender states contracts could be worth up to £500m.
RedT chief executive, Scott McGregor, said being chosen as one of a number of framework suppliers was “an important validation of our technology and business models to unlock cheaper energy costs”. He added that RedT “looks forward to working closely with the NHS and other public sector companies to reduce their energy costs and accelerate their clean energy targets”.

of the Gospel above the Law" by Richard Sibbes.
or the “heavenly” Dr Sibbes, was an Anglican
preacher from England who was famous for his sermons, in which he showed the
riches of the promises of God, urging sinners to come to Christ and bringing
great comfort to the hearts of many believers. His sermons are full of
Scriptural assurances for the weary or wounded Christian, pointing him to
Christ crucified for healing and rest. Dr Sibbes
was a Puritan and believed that the church in England, as elsewhere, needs
visiting and purging by God whenever it has become defiled.
is the way, after we have had boldness and sweet familiarity with God, and
it hath been interrupted by sin? how shall we recover ourselves?
to apprehend our sins to be pardonable in Christ, and that God is an
everlasting Father, and that the covenant of grace is everlasting, and that
there is mercy in
for this thing; and the conceit [conception]
of mercy must work our hearts to grief and shame. That is certain; for mark
in the gospel, ‘Come unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden,’
Mat. xi. 28. He calls us when we find our consciences afflicted and
tormented. ‘He came to save that which was lost,’ Mat. xviii. 11. By the
blessed power of the Spirit, the blood of Christ is as a fountain ‘for
to wash in,’ Zech. xiii. 1, and the ‘blood of Christ purgeth us from
sin,’ 1 John i. 7; and Christ bids us for daily trespasses ask pardon,
Mat. vi. 12. Daily therefore conceive goodness in God still, an everlasting
current of mercy; and this must work upon us grief and shame, and recover
and strengthen our faith again. For God’s children, after breaches, arise
the stronger rather than ever they were before. But this only by the way. We
see here how God’s glorious grace is conveyed to us, and what is wrought
in us to apprehend it, a spiritual eye to see it, in the glass of the
gospel, and ‘with open face we behold it,’ we may go boldly to the
throne of grace.

It feels like it’s taken forever, but the new Bay Bridge is finally entering its final months of construction, if reports can believed. To honor the old bridge, the Oakland Museum of California, in collaboration with Caltrans and the Bancroft Library, is compiling an oral history of the span. According to Louise Pubols, a senior curator at the museum (quoted in the SF Chronicle), “The Bay Bridge has that scrappy, underdog, proud, blue-collar identity, a lot like Oakland itself. It’s a workhorse. It gets stuff done.” According to historian Sam Redman (quoted in the same article), ”People always talk about the grace and beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it’s the Bay Bridge that changed the way people actually live.”
Emperor Norton had mandated a bridge connecting San Francisco, Yerba Buena Island, and Oakland back in the 1870s, but the bridge was not actually constructed until the 1930s as part of an economic stimulus program. In the early years the lower deck was used for train travel (a kind of proto-BART system). Today it’s part of one of the nation’s most nightmarish commutes, and as the new bridge adds no additional lanes this will not change. Because the Bay Area has an inadequate public transit system, it will be difficult to reduce auto traffic over the congested span. It’s too bad that current stimulus money is being put into a high-speed rail system through the central valley rather than into local urban transit that might actual get some people off the roads.
This seven-minute film taken from the front of a San Francisco streetcar going the length of Market Street toward the Ferry Building is said to have been shot four days before the earthquake and fire of 1906, and to have survived because it was sent by train to New York for processing before the quake. Virtually all of the buildings shown (except the Ferry Building itself) were destroyed in the quake.
The street scene is lively and chaotic, and many details are fascinating.
This image of the presidio in 1887 comes from the public library’s historical photographs collection. Of interest are the small trees (today a large grove or forest) that punctuate the landscape. It is easy from this photo to picture how spare the sandy Pacific reaches of the city once were. The photograph is attributed to the U.S.Army Signal Corps; on the back is written the following:
PRESIDIO OF SAN FRANCISCO, 1887. This photograph was taken facing west and shows the Presidio Boulevard approach to the Post. The trees, planted in 1882 when Major General Irwin McDowell was Commander of the Western Department, today cover the hillsides.
This 1914 video shows opium paraphernalia being burnt in what is now the Civic Center area. At the time the area had not yet been rebuilt following the ’06 earthquake (because voters would not pass bonds for funding the project because of the corruption of city leaders), but here you can see the new city hall under construction.

This photo was taken in 1949 by San Francisco Chronicle photographer Barney Peterson. It was discovered by the Sparkletack blogger Richard Miller’s aunt among his grandfather’s archives. The photo is copyright the Chronicle, but I hope they won’t mind my posting this small version; the image links to the Sparkletack post.
David Newman administs a Flickr pool called San FranGone: The City as It Was. Here you can find photos, postcards (such as the mid-a960s cable car above), and maps ranging from the nineteenth century to fairly recently. Newsom says:
Please post your image in this group if:
You can’t go there anymore (i.e. Playland-at-the-Beach)

My publishing company used to occupy the entire first floor of the tower portion of the Call Building, the tallest building, I think, to survive the earthquake.
The pool has some limitations. A few posters somewhat overwhelm the rest, and there are quite a few more pictures of someone named Leo than I really need. While the pool is fun to browse, it is very difficult to find anything in particular. I think the pool should be subdivided by decade, subject, or neighborhood.

By 1938 the essential outlines of the city were filled in and established. Some names have changed — I didn’t know that Fort Point was called Fort Winfield Scott. The location of Funston Park was called Lobos Square. USF was the San Francisco College of Women. There were “bear cages” in the park, as well as “elk and deer corrals.” And so on.
A large (5800 x 4358 px) image of the map is here.
Fort Point, at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge, figures prominently in the Hitchcock film Vertigo. It is here where Kim Novak plunges off the fort into the water and is saved by Jimmy Stewart.
The story is told — I don’t know if it is true or not, although it sounds plausible — that Novak and Hitchcock squabbled throughout the filming of the movie. Novak, it is said, constantly complained that her wardrobe was not glamorous enough.
In the filming of this scene Hitchcock exacted his reverge. Claiming to be dissatisfied with the first couple of dozen takes, he made Novak enter the chilly water 25 times.
Eadweard Muybridge produced two panoramas of the city. This one, made in January 1877 (the same year he produced photographic evidence that a trotting horse may lift all four hooves off the ground), was shot from the Mark Hopkins Mansion at California and Mason. Muybridge used 13 different cameras to make the image. At America Hurrah you can click the panorama thumbnails to see larger versions.
This great map from the 1890s shows creeks in blue and marshes in green, with modern landfill in magenta. A larger version is at the Oakland Museum of California site.
An alternative proposal to the Fisher Art Museum in the Presidio has been put forward by a group of historians and conservationists. The group supports a smaller museum devoted to the local history. Will the proposal get a fair hearing? Doubtful. The Chronicle reports:
Opponents of Fisher’s museum plan complain that the competition sounds more wide open than it is. The formal request for proposals, for example, says that any new building “should take advantage of roof levels for display of public art,” something that works a lot better for an art museum than a history center.
The trust’s plan “was specifically designed to accommodate the contemporary art museum,” said Whitney Hall, one-time commandant of the Presidio and now a director of the historical association.
Trust officials deny that the art museum is a done deal. The directors will listen to the competing proposals at a Dec. 3 meeting and then make a decision based on what’s best for the Presidio, said Dana Polk, a spokeswoman for the Presidio Trust.
Today beaches near the Golden Gate are closed as a noxious oil spill is washing up against the shore. A large South Korean-based Hanjin container ship struck one of the supports of the Bay Bridge and released oil into the bay from a damaged tank. According to Caltrans engineers the bridge got the better of the collision and suffered no significant damage. The cause of the crash is a mystery, since the bridge is pretty easy to spot by eye or radar, even in heavy fog. The ship even had a local pilot aboard. We are still waiting to learn the extent of the environmental damage.
The most famous oil spill on the bay occurred on January 19, 197. On that date, two oil tankers, the Arizona Standard and a sister ship, the Oregon Standard, collided in the bay. Winds and currents drove the resulting spill north toward Bolinas Lagoon in Marin County. As the Point Reyes Light recalls, “The collision ripped open six of the Oregon’s 26 fuel oil compartments, dumping 840,000 gallons of oil into the bay — more than half of which ended up on beaches around the Bay Area. The spill killed roughly 20,000 birds and some seven million marine organisms, according to Bay Area researchers.”
What was most remarkable about the event was the rallying of community support for the embattled beaches. The community of Bolinas quickly rallied. Sculptor Tom D’Onofrio shared his recollections with the Light:
Drawing on his days at a logging camp in the Adirondacks, D’Onofrio felt that stringing a boom — a row of logs — across the lagoon’s narrow mouth might provide a decent barrier, and that hay could be used to soak up oil.
“It was a crude plan, but this was instantaneous thinking,” the sculptor said.
He approached neighbor John Armstrong, a boatbuilder with many logs on his property, and persuaded him to help with the boom’s construction.
D’Onofrio then drove down to Scowley’s, the local cafe and hangout (now site of the Kaleidoscope women’s craft collective) to enlist manpower.
“I went into Scowley’s and jumped on a counter and yelled, ‘This is what’s happened: there’s oil offshore and it’s coming this way,’” D’Onofrio recalled. “‘We need every able-bodied man, woman, and big child. Can we count on you?’ And everyone there yelled, ‘Yeah, we’ll do it!’” By the time the band of volunteers reached the beach, hundreds of residents had converged at the end of Wharf Road to help.
While many birds were lost a large number were also saved, and the actions of the volunteers were inspiring. A nearby canyon was renamed Volunteer Canyon in commemoration of their efforts. It is home now to an Audubon center, and is the nesting place for egrets and blue herons. The image shows a group of birders enjoying the canyon, whose preservation is due in part to the sense of community that resulted from the mobilization of the volunteers.
UPDATE ON THIS NEW SPILL:
On their own: In Bolinas, residents struggle to keep fragile lagoon safe. “The residents were angry that such important work was left to amateurs while an international cleanup effort is under way only a few miles away.”
The U.S. Geological Survey Photographic Library includes 301 historic photos of the great April 18, 1906, San Francisco earthquake and its immediate aftermath. Shown is a view of the fiery city from Golden Gate Park.
In 1940, Friday Kahlo and Diego Rivera, who had been divorced for a year, met on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. Rivera was in town to paint Pan American Unity, a large mural commissioned by the Golden Gate International Exposition.
In the mural, Rivera had depicted himself with his back to his ex-wife. In the image he was holding the hand of Hollywood starlet Paulette Goddard. The gesture, Rivera said, symbolized “closer Pan-Americanism.” When the mural was unveiled, Kahlo did not attend the ceremony. “I do not want to meet Paulette and other dames,” she said.
Then, to the surprise of many, Rivera and Kahlo showed up together on December 8 at City Hall. There they were quickly married for a second time. But within a couple of weeks Kahlo — who had married on the condition that there would be no sex between the two and that Rivera would support her financially — left for Mexico, never to return to the city.
At the advent of the war the mural was put in storage, where it remained for two decades. Today it hangs in the lobby of the theater at City College, testament to the midcentury affairs of artists and nations.

Hikers in the Wildcat Canyon hills above the city of Richmond may be surprised to come upon a glade full of palms and other exotic trees amid the chaparral and oak woodlands.
These are the vestiges of a sanitarium that overlooked the bay, with views of San Francisco to the south southwest
and Richmond to the west.
This was the location of the Grande Vista Sanitarium, founded by Dr. Hendrik Belgum in 1914. Residents of the sanitarium included drug addicts and alcoholics as well as the mentally or emotionally disordered — neighbors called it “the crazy house.” The sanitarium, advantageously located, catered to an up-scale clientele who wished to keep embarrassing members of their families out of view.
The centerpiece of the property was a large stucco mansion originally built by Jacob M. Tewksbury, a wealthy pioneer. Guests entered through a high-ceilinged foyer decorated with Tiffany chandeliers. Other features included a day room, library, kitchen, living room, and formal dining room. A curving staircase led to bedrooms and offices — nearly all with magnificent views — on a second floor.
One of these rooms served as Dr. Belgum’s office. As years went by, the doctor himself grew more and more eccentric and reclusive, preferring the company of his patients to that of the people he met on his expeditions into town. Neighbor children brave enough to sneak up to the mansion reported being spellbound by strains of enchanting music cascading down the hillside. It was said that the doctor and his ethereal sisters enjoyed dancing with the patients as the setting sun would cast its golden glow across the bay below them.
According to one of the doctor’s brochures, “To insure our guests an abundance of fresh, wholesome, nourishing food, so essential to the restoration of health, a select purebred dairy is maintained, also a poultry plan, an apiary, a fruit orchard, vegetable gardens, conservatories, private spring water system, etc.” Remains of some of the foundations can still be seen on the site.
In 1948 a grass fire suddenly flared up and threatened the idyllic estate. Dr. Belgum fought desperately to put out the blaze, and in that struggle he gave up his life. Then the mansion passed to his brother, Bernard N. Belgum, and sisters, Ida Ruth Belgum and Christine Heiman. A few patients remained with them as those melancholy years dragged on, though the surviving Belgums had no medical qualifications. As the turmoil of the fifties and early sixties raged in the cities ringing the bay, the sanitarium, in its remote setting, seemed frozen in time.
After Bernard’s death in 1963 at the age of 82, no heirs remained to inherit the estate. The grounds were simply abandoned, and all of the buildings had been burnt down by vandals by 1977. The following year, the East Bay Regional Park District acquired the land, which is now part of Wildcat Canyon Regional Park.
This part of the park is used for grazing cattle, who tramp down the hills above the sanitarium.
The sanitarium’s palms can be glimpsed beyond the thistles that grow where the cattle graze.
To reach the site, take the Belgum trail from the Alvarado staging area in the Richmond hills.
A nearby display gives the history of the site. There is little material readily available about the Belgum sanitarium. (I have put up a few more pictures in my Belgum flickr set, which also contains larger versions of the images here.) Chad Dickerson of Yahoo posted some information about it, and consequently has been termed an “authority,” but really he just reprinted the material that is available at the site and does not appear to have done any original research. Still, he did post the materials from the site in their entirety, whereas I have been selective and have also added some narrative touches in order to tell the story of the sanitarium in a way that appealed to my imagination.
A more promising source of information is the El Cerrito Historical Society, which cites a publication called
What has become of P. Joseph Potocki, I wonder. He produced a most peculiar Frisco (Phrisco?) blog called San Francisco Phax & Phikshun. The last post on the blog is dated October 2, 2006. I doubt that he is Joseph P. Potocki. Where has the fellow gone?
Here’s is his summary of the sixteenth century in the San Francisco Bay Area:
- 1500’s: Nudist Natives live la-la-la-like in Bay Area Nirvana
- 1542: Aspiring Conquistador Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo blows by Bay
- 1579: Pirate (not yet Sir) Francis Drake plugs holes in his Hind at Point Reyes
- 1595: His ship sinks, spices up Drake’s Bay, then Sebastian Cermeno paddles back to Acapulco
- 1597: Nonplussed Natives yawn, resume civilized customs, until return of stinky death-cult barbarians–two centuries later
I’ve always enjoyed Orson Wells’s The Lady from Shanghai (1948). It was shot in San Francisco and Sausalito (and L.A.). Here are a few images, taken from the excellent site Film in America. At that site there are more images and commentary. I’ve taken the liberty of adjusting the tone of the images for clarity and photographic quality.

A couple of days ago I was talking about the so-called Summer of Love as a media concoction. To repeat, the flowers were already beginning to wilt by that celebrated summer. To indicate how short-lived the movement really was, recall that by October residents of the Haight were commemorating “The Death of the Hippie” in a mock funeral. PBS’s American Experience has a brief video clip of the event (click the image to visit the site).
Like all successful media constructions, the Summer of Love had a strong commercial aspect. B in the D, bellbottom sentiments were used to peddle Coca Cola. Today, the De Young Museum is pretending that the cliched commercial graphic designs of “psychedelic” artist Peter Max are fine art.
And the beat goes on.
Reuters: Wistful over lost dreams
San Francisco celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the Summer of
Drugs Love in Golden Gate Park this weekend, and it sounds like it was a big hit. The weather certainly cooperated.
Something to know about the Summer of Love is that it was largely a media creation. By the summer of 1967 the peace, love, and pot movement had peaked and was about to decline. Probably its apogee was around January of that year, with the Human Be-in in Golden Gate Park. Within a year the Haight would look like a war zone, with abandoned and boarded-up business, the streets grim and taken over by hustlers, punks, and dealers of hard drugs.
National papers and magazines picked up on the counter-culture movement after the Be-in, and ran breathless articles about the Diggers and the “hippie” movement in San Francisco. That publicity fueled an immigration of teeny boppers from all over the country to the Haight. The release of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album early that June kicked things into overdrive, as everyone in the country tuned into that album — it was not uncommon to hear the lingering chords of “A Day in the Life” reverberating from several different directions — reinforcing that sense that people were coming together in some sudden convergence of positive energy. And, in a way, they were. But it was short-lived. The Summer of Love was a swan song, really.
The image above, by Brant Ward, is from the Chronicle’s coverage of the weekend’s festivities.
Speaking of Sgt. Pepper, here’s the Shatner interpretation:
Some people don’t realize that cable cars were at one time a working transit system in San Francisco and not just an amusement ride for tourists. In fact, when I first came to the city I used a cable car for one leg of my commute. The cars cost the same as buses then.
Click on the detail below to see a full map of San Francisco cable car lines in 1893. The original could be better quality. I played with levels and curves to make this detail a bit more legible.
The San Francisco Museum and Historical Society in putting together an encyclopedia of the city. Right now there isn’t much up, but if they follow through with this ambitious project it should end up being a helpful resource.
It’s too bad there’s no feed so that one could be alerted of new entries. Right now the only way to find new items, as far as I can see, would be to scroll through the alphabet — hardly a solution that will encourage return visits.

I have been watching our political system for decades and always saw some chance for a more representative government that was until 1980 and the election of Reagan wedge issues started sneaking into the discourse…..then in 1992 and the election of a corporate stooge made the slide more easily achieved…..and then 2010 arrived and the rise of the wedge issue dominance…and the slide gained momentum…..and here we are today…..a system in chaos.
Some ask why has this been allowed to flourish…..
Political inaction is the key to this devastation of our political system….
Speaking to Salon’s Chauncy de Vega about how the United States is mired in a crisis of democracy that shows parallels with Germany’s descent into Nazism during the 1930s, Norman Ornstein recently noted that “Most people don’t pay close attention, day to day, to what’s going on” in the political sphere.
Speaking just anecdotally, my guess is that Ornstein is correct. In my experience, most people I talk to outside of my pre-existing left circles have only the foggiest notion about the specifics and meaning of current events. “The news” holds little real interest and significance for everyday Americans. And the notion of doing the work to “pay close attention, day to day,” is simply beyond the pale of imaginable life activity for most ordinary citizens in the nation that absurdly claims to be the world’s greatest democracy.
This is a problem – at least it is a problem for those who would like to live in a polity rooted in popular sovereignty and a society committed to the common good. It is an appropriate longstanding truism that democracy is impossible without an informed citizenry paying informed attention to political developments. Public knowledge is a matter of life and death, like when people learn on the radio or television that they must evacuate because a major hurricane. The political hurricane of white nationalist authoritarianism – fascism, American-style – is bearing down on the United States today (anyone who thinks it has gone away because Joe Biden is president is living in denial.)
Militant ignorance is our biggest answer….
With apologies to Paul Simon, and despite all of the information available to the mortal man, there are still millions of Americans who currently believe they’re gliding down the highway when in fact they’re slip slidin’ away.
It is the root cause of our problems with China. It’s why some people don’t want to get vaccinated. It’s why some people still gleefully follow Donald Trump. It explains why Congress can’t get together in a bipartisan fashion to deal with infrastructure, health care and gun control. It’s why we have problems understanding climate change. It explains voter suppression. It’s why “critical race theory” has become controversial, why elements of our population on the left and right are at war with each other and why some believe the earth is flat and the Holocaust didn’t occur. It’s why some of us believe we’re still the “No. 1” nation in the world when — other than having the largest military — we clearly lag behind other major nations in many critical factors. More than anything else it explains why we fail.
Until the voter backs away from Facebook and Twitter this slide will continue until there is nothing left of this country but division and hatred….and we are well on the way today.
Is this the future you want?

Every year, I like to make a list of my favorite books out of all the books I have read. This year, I have read a lot of really good books. I decided to narrow down my list of awesome books by listing the 10 books that have had the biggest impact on me this year. All the books listed in some way impacted my faith in a positive way. They inspired me and drew me closer to God.
Would you like to read my review of the book? Click either the title, or the image.
10. Discovering Hope
I really have grown to love this author, but his book reaffirmed my reasons for having high standards when it comes to relationships with guys. It has one of the best conversations about the physical side of relationships I think I have ever read.
This book was just wonderful in reminding me of God’s Goodness in the hard times. It also is a wonderful reminder that the best is yet to come.
It is hard to even describe this book. It had a deep and intricate plot with a message I love: Never compromise your standards.
I don’t think it is often that a fantasy book makes it onto my top ten, but this one was a powerful story of standing up for your faith. The story was nothing short of masterful.
I was going through a hard time, and this story really touched me, proving once again that God uses even fiction to reach his children.
Grace Livingston Hill has always been a favorite in our family, but it had been a long time since I had read any of her books. This story really touched my heart and reminded me that Beauty does rise from Ashes.
This book was a very powerful reminder that God is stronger than any fear. Dr. David Jeremiah goes through some of the most common fears and provides biblical as well as practical advice on each.
This book was one of those books that just is a great reminder of the lies that we too often buy into about Jesus. It a was a huge encouragement to me, and a reminder to stay grounded in the Bible.
This was the first book I read this year and I knew it would be on this list. It really encouraged me during a rough time I was going through. It is a powerful tale of faith in dark times.
This book stuck with me like nothing else. God used this book to really convict me of some of the pride and other issues in my life. It has really stuck with me through the year and God keeps using it in my life. The story was pretty amazing as well.

Windorphen is a Wnt inhibitor that selectively abrogates the Wnt signaling for ventral development.
Wnt protein is a family of signaling proteins that interacts on the Wnt/β-Catenin pathways during embryotic development, cell proliferation, migration and adult tissue homeostasis.
In canonical Wnt/β-catenin reporter cell line STF293, Windorphen dose-dependently inhibits Wnt3a-inducible TOPFLASH-luciferase activity (IC50 of 1.5 mM). In human colon adenocarcinoma
SW480 cells with defective APC gene that constitutively activates Wnt signaling, 72 h treatment of Windorphen causes a wide spread apoptosis.
In zebrafish embryos, Windorphen leads to apparent expansion of the dorsal markers (pax2.1) and marker of rhombomeres 3 and 5 at the six-somite stage (krox0). Windorphen selectively inhibits Wnt signaling in ventral and lateral regions of the 50% epiboly stage embryo (5.3 hpf). In addition, Windoprhen treatment rescues the telencephalon/eye phenotype in the mbl mutant zebrafish (i.e. a defective Axin1/β-catenin destruction complex causes abnormal activation of Wnt signaling and the loss of telencephalon and eyes.)

|Fritz Mouson - Germany|
Friedrich Karl Mouson (10.06.1884-20.05.1926), called Fritz Mouson, was a German soap and perfume producer. From 1912 onwards he was a partner in the Mouson company. In collaboration with the architects Robert Wollmann and Josef Geittner, Fritz Mouson headed the technical and structural transformation of the manufacturing site in the Frankfurt city district Ostend from 1921 to 1926. For this comprehensive modernization of the factory, through which the company has become a largely automated industrial company which had then converted mainly to an assembly lines, Fritz Mouson had undertaken several journey in Germany and to America. The highlight and landmark of the new company premises, designed and built by Robert Wollmann from 1925-26, was the so-called Mousonturm, for which a significant creative influence is attributed to Fritz Mouson.

The Samsar class was a Kobali Tier 6 cruiser starship class that entered service in 2410. The Kobali made the ship available for its Federation, Klingon Empire and Romulan Republic allies of the Delta Alliance. A Samsar-class cruiser had a price of 1.000 anniversary Q-mendations. (STO video game: Delta Rising)
In the early 25th century, Kobali starships were known for their exceptional ability to provide support to their Delta Alliance partners in large-scale starship combat. The Samsar-class cruiser was a durable tier 6 cruiser outfitted to perform the role of a mobile command center. Two innovative features of the Samsar class included the regenerative structural integrity field console, and a Kobali field stabilizing Mk XII warp core. The console could be retrofitted onto any other starship, and the warp core's potential increased by using it in tandem with other Kobali-designed equipment. Such a set included a deflector, deflector shields, and impulse engines.
The Samsar-class cruiser was available to commanding officers with a minimum rank of vice admiral or its equivalent. The crew complement topped at 650. Eight weapon emplacements, four front- and aft-facing each, were pre-equipped with standard energy weapons and torpedo launchers but open to customization.
The cruiser's bridge featured five bridge officer stations for one tactical officer (ranked lieutenant or lower), one combined command division/engineering lieutenant commander, one engineer commander, one science officer (lt. commander) and one ensign seat of any division. In addition, the ship had room for three tactical and science consoles each, and five engineering consoles.
The regenerative integrity field console provided a large hull regeneration that improved hull strength. This console was universal and could be equipped on any of a starship's available console slots.
The standard equipment of a Samsar-class cruiser included a Kobali field-stabilizing warp-core Mk XII. Because warp cores could not be equipped on Romulan warbirds, the Kobali offered singularity core counterparts to Romulan Republican Force officers. The warp cores could work in tandem with other equipment of the so-called Kobali regenerative circuitry set. The core was able to increase shield power by a maximum of five points.
Starship traits were technological enhancements unique to tier 6 starships. The Samsar-class cruiser's starship trait was emergency response, which reduced special power recharge times by 10% when the ship's hull integrity fell below 50%. The trait could only be triggered every four seconds.
The Samsar-class cruiser was developed on and launched from Kobali Prime, the adopted homeworld of the Kobali people, in 2410. The Kobali sold the ship to Starfleet, Klingon Defense Force and Romulan Republican Force personnel for a price of 1.000 anniversary Q-mendations, a currency invented by q.

Prioritizing Comfort While Staying Close to Nature
To attract guests seeking a luxurious camping experience, it is essential for glamping sites to offer well-appointed cabins or luxury tents with modern amenities such as electricity, running water, and Wi-Fi. By ensuring that visitors can enjoy the great outdoors without sacrificing their creature comforts, you will create an unforgettable stay.
Designing Spaces That Blend With the Environment
Innovative designs are key when setting up your glamping business. Consider incorporating eco-friendly materials and structures that harmonize with the natural surroundings. For example, treehouses, geodesic domes, or even repurposed vintage trailers can add character and charm while preserving the integrity of your site.
Choosing Attractive Locations for Memorable Experiences
- Select Areas Rich in Outdoor Activities: To ensure your guests have plenty of opportunities for adventure during their stay at your campsite, choose a location near popular hiking trails, fishing spots, ski resorts, or other exciting attractions.
- Pick Scenic Destinations: Stunning landscapes not only provide breathtaking views but also serve as perfect backdrops for Instagram-worthy photos, which help promote your business through social media sharing by satisfied customers.

Never Fall Down
In April 1975, the Khmer Rouge march into the Cambodian town of Battambang and eleven-year-old Arn Chorn-Pond’s happy life is changed forever. The local people are rounded up, force-marched into the countryside, and put to work in the rice fields to provide food for the regime. Many people are brutally killed along the way. Many more die of malaria or starvation. Others are tortured and slaughtered, their bodies buried in the Killing Fields. Separated from his family, Arn uses his wits to stay alive. His love of music saves him when his captors give him a flute and order him to play revolutionary songs. Later, he is conscripted into the Khmer Rouge, one of an army of children taught to kill their own people. For almost four years, Arn witnesses the destruction of his people and culture. He does what he has to do in order to survive, and this does not make easy reading.
This novel for young adults is based on a true story. After he reached the safety of a refugee camp in Thailand, Arn was adopted by an American family and taken to the US. He is now a representative of Amnesty International and a founder of Children of War. By using broken English, Patricia McCormick gives Arn’s voice a heartbreaking innocence and immediacy, which only serves to emphasise the brutality of the Khmer Rouge regime. McCormick’s research is impeccable. She spent two years talking with Arn, piecing together his imperfectly remembered story. She fills in the gaps, using research and imagination to devastating effect. This is a harrowing book, but there are moments of tenderness and even beauty. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and of Arn’s simple determination to Never Fall Down. Highly recommended.

Shifting The Goal Posts: A Saga of Recent Budgets
This article that appeared in the Otago Daily Times today, 8 February 2008.
Shifting The Goal Posts: A Saga of Recent Budgets
The annual budget is the vehicle governments use to present their economic goals, policy thinking and programmes to the public.
So as we await this year’s budget, it’s timely to review the current government’s successive budgets to check its goals and track its progress in achieving them.
Labour came into office in 1999 arguing that New Zealand’s earlier economic reforms had failed and that we were about to suffer a credit rating downgrade.
Both these arguments were wrong. All major economic indicators – inflation, employment growth, the unemployment rate, productivity, public debt and real GDP growth – improved substantially in the 1990s. New Zealand was never at risk of a rating downgrade provided sound policies were maintained.
The 2000 Budget signalled a change in economic direction with a focus on more interventionist industry policies, the ‘knowledge economy’ and ‘Closing the Gaps’.
Who now remembers the goals for the ‘three strategic sectors’, such as a hundred $100 million IT firms by 2010, the Growth and Innovation Advisory Board, and ‘Closing the Gaps’?
In response to business criticisms, the government put the emphasis in the 2001 Budget on economic growth: “We need to set ourselves a goal of being back in the top half of the developed world in terms of per capita GDP”. Sustained growth of “4% a year or more” was needed to achieve that goal.
Yet the rate of growth is declining steadily and New Zealand has moved down the OECD ladder, not up. Last year journalist Colin James referred to “Clark’s now discarded promise to get back into the top half of the OECD income rankings”.
The 2002 Budget featured discussion of savings. Finance minister Michael Cullen said “The Government is not considering upfront tax incentives. These are likely to have to be very large – with fiscal costs running to many hundreds of millions of dollars a year – before they have any desirable effect on overall savings. Their abolition in the mid-1980s represented sensible tax policy on both equity and efficiency grounds.”
Yet KiwiSaver has been enacted at a cost of perhaps $2 billion a year and with the largest benefits going to high-income taxpayers.
Dr Cullen has repeatedly linked savings to the current account deficit. But as a recent New Zealand Institute of Economic Research paper showed, there is no causal relationship, Early budgets expressed concern about large deficits, but they have increased as a proportion of GDP, despite very favourable external terms of trade.
The 2004 Budget suggested “there are signs of longer term increases in labour productivity growth”, and observed that it is “a key factor placing a ceiling on our ability to grow faster.” Regrettably, the signs have disappeared. In the year to March 2006, labour productivity growth in the measured sector of the economy was the lowest since the statistical series started, and may subsequently have declined further.
Over several budgets, Dr Cullen argued that New Zealanders were not over-taxed, and that lower personal and company tax rates would do little for the economy. Yet the company tax rate was cut in the 2007 Budget and this year personal tax cuts are promised. With the OECD now estimating that general government tax and non-tax receipts are running at 45% of GDP (far above Australia’s level of 35% and the OECD average), it is ludicrous to maintain that New Zealand is not a high-tax economy.
The government has pointed to strong job creation during its term of office, totalling 333,000 between 2000 and 2007. However, job creation was similar between 1991 and 2000, totalling 305,000. In both periods the increases owed a lot to the 1991 moves to free up the labour market.
A further government goal was to reduce welfare dependency. However, although numbers on the unemployment benefit have declined, the combined numbers on the domestic purposes, sickness and invalid’s benefit rose from 207,000 in 2002 to 226,000 in 2007.
Early in its term of office the government dismissed fears that its policies would encourage a ‘brain drain’. Few now doubt that those fears were well-founded, with the latest figures on net immigration to Australia ringing real alarm bells for employers and families throughout the country.
Dr Cullen said in 2002 it would be clear within two years whether New Zealand was on track to faster growth. With every passing year the evidence has become clearer that it is not.
To be fair, the government deserves credit for some of its policies, in particular by maintaining many of the previous reforms, despite its rhetoric.
And we must still hope that this year’s budget will acknowledge what might be called ‘the failed policies of the present’ and chart new directions. The government’s goals for a more prosperous New Zealand are commendable. The problem is that it has misdiagnosed the issues and its ‘remedy’ of ever-bigger government doesn’t work.

Feds continuing ginseng harvest ban in Daniel Boone Forest
WINCHESTER, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service is continuing a ban on ginseng harvesting in the Daniel Boone National Forest in eastern Kentucky.
Federal officials say they issued the ban in 2016 to stop the decline of wild ginseng in the area. The service previously had issued permits for ginseng collectors. The root of the plant is touted as an herbal medicine for various ailments.
Federal officials say much of wild ginseng’s decline is attributed to illegal harvest methods. They say it is a problem throughout southern Appalachian states like West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
The penalty for illegally removing wild ginseng from national forest lands includes a fine up to $5,000 or a 6-month sentence in federal prison, or both.

MOSCOW, April 01. /ITAR-TASS/. Russian Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko rules out any candidate running for Ukraine’s presidency as a strong national leader who can unify the Ukrainian people.
“I believe none of the candidates who have been registered by Ukraine’s Central Election Committee up to now is able to do it,” she told reporters on Tuesday, adding that the winner would probably be the candidate standing for Russia-Ukraine co-operation.
The snap presidential election in Ukraine is scheduled for May 25. Fourteen candidates are registered. The country’s election committee closes registration on April 4 and the election campaign starts the next day.

Donald Trump is not going to be the next president of the United States.
This reporter is already on record pledging to eat a bag of rusty nails if the real estate tycoon with the high hair manages to snag the GOP nomination, much less takes down likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton next fall.
But Trump matters, in a major way.
The Donald's rise to the top of many recent GOP polls tells us a couple of things. First , Republicans are not thrilled with the current field. And second, GOP primary voters love a shoot-from-the-hip novelty act, in this case one who breathes fire on immigration policy, the hottest of hot buttons for Republicans activists.
Trump talking about building giant walls to keep out Mexican "rapists" and "murders" while charging Mexico for every immigrant that makes it to the U.S. is the kind of stuff that the hard-core Republican base wants to hear.
They are much less attracted to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's compassionate approach that seeks a path to legal status for 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has similar immigration problems with the primary electorate.
Novelty candidates such as Trump—think Herman Cain in 2012—have flared up in GOP primaries before only to fade quickly. Trump is likely to do so as well once the debates start and his relatively thin base of knowledge of global affairs is put to the test against more seasoned debaters.
But Trump is likely to play a much more important role than Cain or any of the other front-runner-for-a-day candidates in 2012. If the real estate billionaire uses the debate to savage Bush over his immigration and education policies, he could do a huge favor to the rest of the field, particularly Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who are the most likely GOP nominees after Bush.
Bush wants to spend his time on the debate stage proving that he is a mature, seasoned leader with a realistic plan to boost American wages and get growth revved up to 4 percent per year. That will be hard to do if Trump is constantly in his face.
And if Bush gets knocked down a few pegs, when the Trump boomlet inevitably fades, other members of the GOP field could be poised to snag the front-runner slot.
Bush's secret weapon, of course, will be the over $100 million raised by his California-based Right to Rise Super PAC.
Once that PAC starts blanketing early state airwaves with television ads, Bush will be able to effectively respond to any debate attacks from Trump and keep his support from eroding too precipitously.
For those who think Trump has a real shot at winning the nomination, a little history lesson is in order. Republican primary voters often flirt with charismatic, fringe candidates but in the end almost always come home to the next-in-line, establishment figure. Think George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Of course this could be the time that it's different—and widespread Republican anger at the Obama administration and a strong desire for someone to rip the president on a daily basis—could upend the usual dynamic.
But Republicans also desperately want to win the White House and they are not going to do it by nominating Donald Trump. It's more likely that Trump's numbers will dwindle following the debates and what are almost certain to be more incendiary comments. But before he fades, Trump may take a serious bite out of Bush and give a solid leg up to the rest of the field.

3 Lynbrook police officers honored with award for heroism during 2022 arrest
Three Lynbrook police officers were recognized with the 2022 NPC Meritorious Award for their work during an arrest last year.
Authorities say the incident began on May 3, 2022, when officer Hoffman spotted a motorcyclist with no license plate or helmet. Upon review, the officer found out that the motorcyclist had their license suspended 19 times.
The suspect resisted arrest, tried to flee and made an attempt to reach for a concealed handgun. Officer Scanlon dislodged the firearm and officer Lavista tased the suspect.
The suspect was ultimately secured by the three officers, according to authorities. A search also revealed that the suspect had a handgun with a loaded magazine, along with a bag containing methamphetamines.


It didn’t take very long for Chicago Bulls star point guard Derrick Rose to get hurt again. Just two games into the 2014-2015 NBA season, the former Most Valuable Player has suffered another injury.
Rose was forced to leave Friday night’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a sprained left ankle. ESPN reports Rose also sprained his right ankle when he tried to play in the second half, before shutting it down for the night.
While Bulls fans were extremely worried when Rose hobbled off the court in the second quarter, the injury isn’t serious.
"Don't worry, it's just an ankle sprain," Rose said after the game.
"It's basketball. It ain't like I tore something, or tore a ligament or something. It's just that I sprained my ankle and I had to sit out.”
NBA fans have become all too accustomed to seeing Rose get injured. He played just 59 percent of the lockout-shortened season, after winning the MVP in 2010-2011. In the next two years, two separate knee injuries kept him off the court for just 10 games.
Rose’s latest injury might not force him to miss any time. The Bulls play at Minnesota on Saturday, and his status for the game is uncertain.
Rose looked like his old self in 25 minutes against Cleveland. He scored 20 points on 8-of-16 shooting, and the Bulls outscored the Cavs by eight points with him on the court. Without Rose at the end of the game, though, Chicago lost in overtime, 114-108.
Kirk Hinrich, who started at shooting guard, moved to point guard in Rose’s absence. Backup point guard Aaron Brooks also saw 20 minutes of playing time, scoring 11 points.
If Rose misses any time, Hinrich, Brooks and Tony Snell are expected to see more playing time. With Hinrich moving to point guard, Snell’s minutes in the backcourt increased against Cleveland. Snell, who finished the game with 10 points, started in overtime.
