Rachel Alexandra gets honor, and the potential to face rival (14) But by Monday night, when Rachel Alexandra was announced as horse of the year over Zenyatta at the Eclipse Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills, the sport was abuzz on several different fronts. The only surprising element of Rachel Alexandra's victory, in a vote of media members, was the 130-99 margin. She had won the Preakness, the first filly in 85 years to do so, just two weeks after blowing away the field in the Kentucky Oaks by 20 lengths. Later in the year, she won impressively against male horses. Any other year, there would have been no question. But her competitor, the celebrated Zenyatta, had been equally impressive, finishing her 5-year-old career with 14...

'Homeland,' by George Obama (13) The theory is simple: Get me out of Africa, and into a "normal" society like the United States, and I will succeed far more than I ever will at home. George Obama's story suggests that Barack's life in Kenya would not have a Hollywood ending. Like his famous half brother, George never knew his father. Though he came from an elite family, his mother struggled until she took a white male lover, which gives George a patina of appealing cosmopolitanism. Yet he's a wastrel, squandering his advantages. "I was the crazy guy, the one who would always be relied on for any drunken misadventures that might be in the offing." Death and loss mark his youth. At 16, his favorite grandfather...

Senate Judiciary Hearing Success! - Tenth Amendment Center Blog (13) There were well over 200 people who attended the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to support state sovereignty last week. What a wonderful endorsement of our Tenth Amendment and what an exciting day!

There were 16 proponents, one neutral and one opponent who testified. Chairman Owens decided to give the proponent conferees two minutes each, while giving the neutral and opponent conferees ten minutes each. The Chairman expressed he wanted to give more time to those with different views because there were so few of them. E...

Restart of San Onofre reactor delayed (13) San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station's Unit 2 reactor, scheduled to restart in mid-January after about a four-month shutdown, won't be powered up for a few more weeks because of unexpected repairs, according to a plant official. The reactor was shut down in September to prepare for new steam generators, which were installed in November. When plant workers recently were inspecting the welding around the two 640-ton steam generators, they found air pockets in some of the welds on one generator, said Ross Ridenoure, San Onofre's chief nuclear officer. The two generators, which surround the nuclear reactor, are each welded to the ground in three spots under a containment d...

Tight Massachusetts race alarms California Dems (13) With just 10 months until the 2010 midterm election, the mayor's remarks underscore how the Brown-Coakley race has set off alarms in Democratic-leaning California, which is holding two high-profile elections this cycle. Sen. Barbara Boxer, a three-term Democrat, faces a re-election challenge - with three Republicans vying to defeat her: former Rep. Tom Campbell, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Assemblyman Chuck DeVore of Irvine. Boxer polled no more than 46 percent of the vote against any of the three in a Rasmussen Poll released Friday. And with GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger termed out, former two-term Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown will face one of two wea...

Restorative yoga for those who want to relax (12) Although it looks like nap time for grown-ups, it's actually yoga - restorative yoga. Also known as "active relaxation," this brand of yoga came to life in San Francisco during one of the most stressful decades on record, and classes like this one at Bernal Yoga are gaining popularity as people look for ways to quiet the body, and ultimately, the mind. The classes are typically 90 minutes and involve only a handful of poses, all variations on napping. The point is not to stretch but to relax, turn inward and stop thinking. Practitioners use props such as blocks, bolsters, pillows and blankets to build forts they can lean or lie on. Falling asleep is allowed. "It'...

Prioritize the Clean Energy Jobs Act (11) Jim Doyle and state legislators moving forward with policies that will help promote the use of renewable energy (the Clean Energy Jobs Act). Promoting renewable energy is a win-win for our environment and economy. We currently spend too much money on fossil fuels to meet our energy needs. We spend billions of dollars every year bringing coal, oil and natural gas from outside Wisconsin to power our homes, businesses and vehicles. The money leaves our state and the pollution stays. We need to move as quickly a possible to begin harnessing more of our homegrown, renewable resources to meet our energy needs. Wisconsin has an abundance of wind, solar and bio-energy resources...

Uganda oil contracts give little cause for optimism (11) The transition to a sustainable energy economy will be put back two decades or more, while political tension will only increase if the president, Yoweri Museveni, holds on to power beyond 2011 in anticipation of the new revenues.For all the work of the country's 8,000 NGOs, the 30% budget support from donors and the rhetoric of international aid, it is these botched contracts and the financial interests of oil companies that will do most to define Uganda's future. While increased oil revenues give the impression of superficial growth, the sudden influx of cash distorts the economy and exchange rates, undermining alternative sectors, including agriculture and industry, that employ and...

Are Maria Sharapova's Best Days Behind Her? (11) She lost in the second round at Wimbledon and the third round at the US Open after being ousted by Melanie Oudin. In the loss to Oudin, she served 21 double faults and made 60 unforced errors. Sharapova faced similar problems with Kirilenko, making 77 unforced errors. Included in that are double-digit double faults on a serve that has become inconsistent at best. With such an untrustworthy serve and a very erratic forehand, one must wonder if Maria Sharapova is on the downside of a once promising career. It's hard to imagine a 22-year-old athlete being on the downside of her career, especially someone that has won three of the four major titles, but Sharapova is in da...

One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Thai Forest tradition is its strict adherence to the original teachings and rule of monastic discipline laid down by the Buddha. The Forest tradition actually predates the Buddha as it was a common practice amongst spiritual seekers in ancient India to practise the act of renunciation by wandering into the wilderness. Though born a prince, the Buddha chose this path to seek the way beyond birth, aging, sickness and death at the age of twenty-nine. The forest was where the Buddha preached his teachi...
