Bears hire Trestman as coach

CHICAGO (AP) ? The Bears have hired Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman to replace the fired Lovie Smith.

It's the first head coaching job in the NFL for Trestman, a long-time NFL assistant who spent the past five seasons coaching the CFL's Alouettes and led them to two Grey Cup titles.

Trestman was an offensive coordinator with San Francisco, Arizona and Oakland. The Bears hope he can get the most out of quarterback Jay Cutler and help them reach the playoffs on a consistent basis.

Chicago general manager Phil Emery met with at least 13 candidates. Besides Trestman, he also brought back Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and the Indianapolis Colts' Bruce Arians for second interviews.

Smith was let go after Chicago missed the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons.

Obama to gun-control foes: Examine your conscience

President Barack Obama speaks about the debt limit in the East Room of the White House on Jan. 14, 2013. (Carolyn??Bringing the curtain down on his first term with a combative press conference, President Barack Obama vowed on Monday to push "vigorously" for measures to curb deadly gun violence and pressed foes of new restrictions in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy to "examine their own conscience." Obama also admitted he faced stiff opposition from gun-rights advocates in Congress and vowed executive action when possible.

The president, due to be sworn in on Sunday and make his inaugural address from the Capitol steps a day later, also warned Republicans against refusing to raise the nation's debt limit in order to wring spending cuts from the White House. "We are not a deadbeat nation," Obama said.

And he defended himself from criticisms that his nominees to serve in his second-term Cabinet have mostly been older white men, urging Americans not to "rush to judgment" based on his picks to lead the departments of State, Defense and Treasury and the CIA.

"Until you?ve seen what my overall team looks like, it?s premature to assume that somehow we?re going backwards," he said. "We?re not going backwards."

One month to the day after the elementary school slaughter in Connecticut, the president said he had received recommendations from Vice President Joe Biden's task force for curbing a national epidemic of gun violence. Those proposals are expected to face opposition from gun-rights groups like the NRA and its allies in Congress.

The Biden task force has "presented me now with a list of sensible, common-sense steps that can be taken to make sure that the kinds of violence we saw in Newtown doesn?t happen again," he told reporters. ?I?ll present the details later in the week.?

He added, ?My starting point is not to worry about the politics. My starting point is to focus on what makes sense, what works, what should we be doing to make sure that our children are safe and that we?re reducing the incidence of gun violence. I think we can do that in a sensible way that comports with the Second Amendment.?

But will Congress adopt proposals like renewing the assault weapons ban? ?I don?t know,? Obama acknowledged. Lawmakers opposed to such steps must "examine their own conscience." In some cases, Congress won't act but he will, the president said.

?I?m confident that there are some steps that we can take that don?t require legislation and are within my authority as president," he said. "How we are gathering data, for example, on guns that fall into the hands of criminals and how we track that more effectively.?

Asked about the surge in gun and ammunition sales, Obama blamed "a fear that's been fanned" by opponents of gun control.

?We?ve seen?for some time now?that those who oppose any common-sense gun-control or gun-safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government?s about to take all your guns away," he said. "There?s probably an economic element to that?it obviously is good for business."

He added that "responsible gun owners?people who have a gun for protection, for hunting, for sportsmanship?they don?t have anything to worry about."

Obama also warned congressional Republicans that he will not trade spending cuts for their votes to raise the country?s debt ceiling.

Obama called Republican talk of not raising the limit?of, in effect, not paying the country?s bills??irresponsible? and ?absurd.? He said the GOP will ?not collect a ransom in return for not crashing the economy."

?You don?t go out to dinner and then eat all you want and then leave without paying the check?and if you do you?re breaking the law," he said. ?If Congress wants to have a debate about maybe we shouldn?t go out to dinner next time, maybe we should go to a more modest restaurant, that?s fine. That?s a debate that we should have. But you don?t say, 'In order for me to control my appetites, I?m going to not pay.'"

Even as Obama spoke, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement that "the president and his allies need to get serious about spending, and the debt-limit debate is the perfect time for it."

And Republican House Speaker John Boehner warned that "the consequences of failing to increase the debt ceiling are real, but so, too, are the consequences of allowing our spending problem to go unresolved." He added: "The House will do its job and pass responsible legislation that controls spending, meets our nation?s obligations and keeps the government running."

At issue is the congressionally established debt limit, which the country is set to reach shortly. Without additional borrowing, the government will not be able to pay all of its bills, raising the prospect of a default on national debt payments or Washington being forced to stop issuing Social Security checks, pay to troops overseas and other legally required outlays, according to Obama. Either option would likely send shock waves through the fragile global economy.

Raising the debt limit was mostly a matter of routine in Washington under presidents of both parties for decades. The opposition would make a big show of wringing its hands over the nation?s finances (as a senator in 2006, Obama himself called it ?a sign of leadership failure" and voted against raising it), and the majority would find a way to pass it.

Republicans broke sharply from that script in August 2011, when they demanded spending cuts equal to the amount that the limit would be raised. The ensuing standoff brought the nation to the brink of default and led to the first-ever downgrade of the country?s credit rating?but also to historic spending cuts, signed into law by Obama. Top Republican lawmakers have said publicly that this time they may be willing to partially shut down the government to secure more reductions.

?Our economy is growing and our businesses are creating new jobs, so we are poised for a good year if we make smart decisions and sound investments? and so long as Washington politics ?don?t get in the way,? the president said.

Battle for cricket continues - NewsDay Zimbabwe

AS the battle for cricket continues, Zimbabwe Cricket Convenor of selectors Givemore Makoni responds to Minister of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture David Coltart?s Saturday statement.

Below is part of Coltart?s Saturday response:

I have noted with regret the highly intemperate and defamatory statements issued in response to the directive this week by the erstwhile convener of selectors of Zimbabwe Cricket, Mr Givemore Makoni, claiming, inter alia, that the directive has some racist motive. Whilst I understand Mr Makoni?s distress at losing his job, he would have been better advised to take a leaf out of Dale Carnegie?s book regarding how to make friends and influence people.

His abusive remarks are not only unnecessary, but ironically the remarks themselves bring into question his suitability for holding such an important national position. I note that Mr Makoni remains manager of the Rocks franchise so his services to cricket will not be lost.

Be that as it may it is necessary for me to respond to the specific allegation that this is some racist plot to prevent black Zimbabweans from advancing in cricket. Firstly, it is well known that there are numerous black Zimbabweans who have played cricket at international level for Zimbabwe and who have now retired from international cricket, such as David Mutendera, Ethan Dube and Tatenda Taibu, who would make superb selectors. In this regard I have noted that Mr Makoni is recorded as stating, in his comments carried in the Zimbabwe Independent newspaper, that Ethan Dube did not play for Zimbabwe and is ineligible, which is false as Mr Dube played for Zimbabwe in 1990.

Secondly, it is ironic that Mr Makoni refers, in his comments contained in the Herald newspaper, to my criticism regarding selections during the tour to New Zealand without mentioning that those criticisms were mainly focussed on the non-selection of a black player Vusimuzi Sibanda, which hardly tallies with some racist agenda. Thirdly, I note that Mr Makoni suggests that the directive will make Mr Stephen Mangongo ineligible for appointment as national coach (as part of an alleged further racist agenda), which is also false as the directive does not apply to coaches.

Nowhere in the directive does it state that a prerequisite for appointment as a national coach must have international experience.

Only if a coach is to sit on a national selection panel then that person should have international experience in terms of paragraph 2.2 of the directive. Historically the practice in Zimbabwe Cricket is that the coach has not been part of the selection panel although the coach?s views are taken into account. Accordingly, these directives do not in any way affect that historical practice. Therefore any suggestions that the directives in general are racist are patently false and nonsensical.

Makoni?s statement
I have noted the Minister of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture David Coltart?s response to my criticism of his directives regarding the appointment of national team selectors through the Sports and Recreation Commission.

While the minister attempts to camouflage the directives with the ?national interest? punch line, his statement patently failed to mask that they were crafted for particular sporting disciplines only. That Minister Coltart mentioned a serious dispute regarding the selection of the Zimbabwe team to participate in a World Bowls event in Australia, as well as selection controversies in some major sports like football and cricket is not coincidental.

As far as I know, football has no selection panel as that burden is the prerogative of the coach.

That then leaves just bowls and cricket from the examples the minister gave. He probably mentioned football and cricket as the two biggest sporting disciplines in the country, but it then begs the question why bowls? What was this selection controversy in bowls about and who are these protagonists that felt the selectors were unqualified and alleged interference in the process? Why is the minister not giving us the whole story?

The minister claims my frustration comes from the insecurity of losing my post as national convener of selectors. No minister I can leave that post today. I have contributed to the transformation and spread of cricket to previously disadvantaged communities in a manner the minister cannot dispute.

My frustration actually stems from minister Coltart?s subtle attempts to reverse the transformation agenda in cricket which he initially resisted as an ordinary legislator. Now that he is the minister in charge of sport, he is using his position to actually regularise that resistance. I have known minister Coltart in cricketing circles well before I became a national selector and his contribution to the game has been nothing more than divisive.

While the directives appear prudent and in the national interest at face value, their racial poison appears upon close scrutiny as they seemingly target only formerly white-dominated sports. I don?t know much about bowling as a sport, but cricket is the only discipline I know a transformation war was waged for the involvement of the current majority black players? participation.

Minister Coltart is correct in stating that his directives do not prevent Stephen Mangongo from being appointed national coach, but indirectly they disqualify him because a national coach automatically becomes a national selector. The cricket coach is involved in the selection of teams and minister Coltart knows that. For example, the current 24-man training squad for the West Indies tour was picked by coach Alan Butcher, Zimbabwe High Performance coach and national selector Wayne James and myself.

In fact, the reason I term the minister?s directives racist is because they are not new at all. They were first presented to the then Zimbabwe Cricket Union by former national cricket captain Heath Streak and his all-white 14 rebel players and consolidated in a 2 714-word public statement they released on April 12, 2004. Among the rebel players? set of demands was a change in the make-up and policy of national selectors.

The rebel players comprising Heath Streak, Stuart Carlisle, Grant Flower, Craig Wishart, Andy Blignaut, Raymond Price, Gary Brent, Sean Irvine, Travis Friend, Barney Rogers, Trevor Gripper, Richard Simms, Neil Ferreria, Charles Coventry and Gavin Ewing demanded that a selector should possess a Level 3 Coaching Certificate with 5-6 years? experience as a First Class Coach, to have played 5-6 years of First Class Cricket or to have represented the national team. All these demands were aimed at removing the then national convener of selectors Stephen Mangongo and Macsood Ebrahim, who did not meet this criterion.

The rebel players felt selectors who lacked these qualifications used unofficial quotas to bring more black players into the team. So there is nothing in the national interest in Minister Coltart?s directives.

They are just longstanding demands of people opposed to the transformation of cricket from being a preserve of a few families to a truly national sport, disguised as a Sports and Recreation Commission directive. Is it not ironic that the name of Ethan Dube, who came to the minds of the rebel players in 2004 as a preferred national selector also comes to the minister?s mind in the same capacity nine years later? Or could it be that it?s the same mind?
Minister Coltart should not try and fool us with his national interest mantra when in fact he is hell bent on removing all those responsible for the survival of cricket in Zimbabwe during a period he and rebel players and their backers sought to collapse the sport simply because more blacks were becoming involved.

Was the minister not the mastermind of the infamous donning of black armbands by Andy Flower and Henry Olonga to mourn the ?death of democracy? during a World Cup match in 2003? Did he not lead a delegation to Cape Town to meet the England cricket team during the same World Cup to advise it not to fulfill its World Cup fixture in Zimbabwe arguing that it was not both cricketing and politically correct for England to do so? Talk of ?national interest?.

The minister is not being entirely honest when he claims his criticism regarding selections during the tour to New Zealand was mainly focused on the non-selection of Vusimuzi Sibanda. I personally fought a directive from the Cricket Committee chairman Alistair Campbell barring Vusimuzi Sibanda from selection and the minister did not intervene.

He only got involved when I dropped Keegan Meth for Prosper Utseya during the same tour in conditions that suited spin. Furthermore, the minister recently personally gave a directive to Zimbabwe Cricket to reinstate Carl Jarvis in the domestic league after he had been suspended by the disciplinary committee for abusing black umpires. Is this also in the national interest?

So I am not convinced that minister Coltart has Zimbabwe national teams? interests at heart in his latest directives, but seeks to secure the entry of as well as the continued involvement of his friends, some of whom are his sports advisers, in determining the composition and direction of Zimbabwean sport.

LAS VEGAS (AP) ? From a hometown of 26,000 people to an adopted home borough of 2.6 million, Miss America's story includes a journey from a small town to the big city ? but it doesn't start there.

Mallory Hagan, 23, moved from Alabama to New York City as soon as she became a legal adult, and though she says she left because "I needed to find myself," it turns out she knew who she wanted to be all along.

"When Mallory was like 13 years old she was sitting on my deck and said, 'Miss Tina, my goal is one day I'd like to grow up to be Miss America,'" said Tina Gunnels, a neighbor from Opelika, Ala., on Sunday. "She accomplished that goal."

Hagan took the crown Saturday night after tap dancing to a James Brown tune, deftly answering a question about gun violence in schools and raising the issue of child sexual abuse in her contestant platform.

Hagan, who resides in New York's most-populous borough of Brooklyn, said she was sure someone else would take the top prize, even after she made it to the final two contestants.

She said she was standing on the stage thinking, "They're going to get another first runner-up photo of me."

Her father was not nearly so modest.

"We're super excited, super exhilarated, super proud of her," Phil Hagan said in an interview with The Associated Press backstage immediately after his daughter's victory. "We're not extremely surprised, either."

Mallory Hagan, however, has been competing on the pageant circuit for a decade and nearly aged out of the system without ever having won at a state or national level.

The Miss America competition accepts contestants between the ages of 17 and 24.

Hagan says she moved to New York on her own at 18 years old with less than $1,000 in her pocket. She tried for the Miss New York title in 2010 and 2011 before winning last year.

The transition wasn't always easy.

"The struggle was vast," she said. "There were days when I had five bucks in my pocket. And I would push that $5" between subway fare and meal money.

But the decision was one she felt compelled to make.

"I just knew that the energy of NYC was something that I really loved," she told the AP after her victory. "I was always a little more liberal-thinking than my hometown. And I just knew that I needed to get out for a little bit, and I needed to find myself."

Hagan said it was her mother who encouraged her to address the problem of child sex abuse, which had "rippled through" her family.

Hagan's mother, Mandy Moore, was overcome with emotion and wiped tears away as she spoke.

"It's very overwhelming," she said. "It's all hitting me so fast."

Hagan said she will work to make education to prevent child abuse mandatory in all 50 states.

Also working against Hagan was her final question, should schools hire armed guards in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shooting.

Conventional wisdom holds that contestants who receive questions about controversial topics are less likely to win. But Hagan said she didn't panic.

"I'm not sure that it came out as eloquently as I would have liked it to, but my views remain the same: It's never OK to fight violence with violence."

With crown, she receives a $50,000 college scholarship and a year as an instant celebrity and role model. She defeated Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers, who took second, and Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton, who finished third.

Hagan has always been "very independent," said Gunnels, who describes herself as a "neighborhood mom" in the old railroad town near Auburn University.

"I think she willed this to happen," said Gunnels. "She's just that determined. Who would have that that a girl from Opelika, Alabama, would ever do that?"

MinneMinds makes the case for more state spending on poor kids ...

If you?re going to ask the Legislature for heaps of money to send poor children to preschool and otherwise help prepare them for kindergarten, it sure doesn?t hurt to give your coalition a name that pulls at the heart strings.

More than that, however, you have to stockpile the request with research explaining both the children?s needs as well as the gains to the state -- how investing in our kids now means a better future not only for low-income children but also for Minnesota.?

Research like:

• Almost 50 percent of Minnesota children start kindergarten unprepared to learn, according to a Minnesota Department of Education study released in spring 2010. That means ?that before age 5, half the state?s future work force ?is already behind the curve.??
• Every dollar invested to help children from low-income families receive high-quality early-learning programs means $16 saved down the line because these better-educated youngsters are more likely to graduate from high school and college, more likely to get decent-paying jobs and more likely to stay out of prison, according to a 2003 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Presenting a strong argument for a $185.2 million investment over the biennium for the education of low-income 3- and 4-year-old children is exactly what the group MinneMinds ? pronounced minnie-minds ? will do at a gathering today aimed at catching the attention of lawmakers and spotlighting broad support.

The money would come mostly in the form of scholarships and flow directly from state coffers to the high-quality child-care providers or preschools each parent chooses, explains Frank Forsberg, chairman of the MinneMinds Executive Committee and a vice president with Greater Twin Cities United Way.

Eligible would be 3- and 4-year-olds whose families are at or below 185 percent of the poverty line. One hundred percent of poverty, as defined by the federal government, is $23,050 for a family of four, so the program as proposed would include some ?near poor? as well.?

MinneMinds is a statewide coalition of some 40 organizations and other coalitions including nonprofits, educators, business, unions, parents and religious groups.

?We are coming together on a belief that we can invest in our children. We are saying if we support them with this investment they will learn,?? says Barbara Milon, a member of the MinneMinds Executive Committee and executive director of the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center in North Minneapolis.

Joining in their policy proposal presentation are influential legislators, mostly from the power-wielding DFL, but also including Rep. Bud Nornes of Fergus Falls, GOP lead on the Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee.

?In terms of the need, it?s there,?? says Sen. Chuck Wiger, DFL- Maplewood, who chairs the Early Childhood-12 Education Finance Committee. ?At least a part of the request will make it to the finish line.??

Wiger adds that more money for early childhood education for poor children, a group that includes large numbers of children of color, is also supported by state Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. The governor will announce his budget recommendations later this month.

The program would start slowly and ?ramp up,?? Forsberg says, because currently the state does not have enough certified high-quality child-cares and preschools, either center-based or home-based. Expansion of a new quality-rating system for child care and preschool education is helping change the situation.

Early education reaps benefits, Milon stresses. Ninety-eight percent of the ?graduates?? of Wheatley?s Mary T. Wellcome Early Childhood Development in Minneapolis, established in the 1920s, pass kindergarten readiness assessments, compared to much lower readiness rates for other children of color in North Minneapolis who do not have such training, she says.

Milon points to a 2011 report ?from the African American Leadership Forum, which calls for better preschool education opportunities for poor African-American children as one crucial step toward closing the academic achievement gap between races.

How I Use My Epson Picturemate to Print Photos for Project Life ...

So I decided to take on Project Life again in 2013 (I tried it once in 2009 ? epic FAIL). So far, it?s really cutting into my blogging time, LOL! But, no, that?s good right? I?m scrapbooking again ? woot! At home, not just at a retreat or crop . . . which is a miracle for me these days.

I?ll be posting this year about my adventures with Project Life so I hope you like hearing about it :)

One thing that?s crucial to making Project Life work for me in the long-term is it has to be SIMPLE. S-I-M-P-L-E. And fast. I?m plate-spinning here, people! (You know, like a circus act). Trying to keep everything going at once and not letting anything drop ? family, work, blogging, scrapbooking, friends, volunteering, et al.

If Project Life is going to work for me, I need a fast and easy way to print photos. Sending them out to be developed or waiting in line for the photo machine at Target ain?t gonna? work for me. I need to print at home. Yeah, it?s a tad more expensive but totally worth it.

I also didn?t want to bring software into the mix. I know there are programs such as iPhoto, Photosheet (not compatible with us Mac?ers unfortunately), and Photoshop. But does it sound like I have time to learn a new photo program much less do editing and all that crap?!?! Hell to thuh no. I barely have time to tear my washi before I pull it off the roll, sista!

So I keep it simple (see above). I print the photos straight from my camera card, no editing. I mean, this is Project REAL Life for me. It?s Day 14 and I?m actually caught up through Day 12. I owe most of that to my Epson Picturemate printer.

*photo from dphotojournal.com

I have an older model; it?s a Picturemate Dash (PM 260). I finally figured out again how to print multiple smaller photos onto one 4?6 sheet. Thank you Project Life for motivating me, LOL!

You may already know how to do this but in case anyone doesn?t, I thought I?d share the instructions I typed out to keep by the printer (for the next time I forget how to do this or my mind is spinning so fast I can?t access any available brain cells):

Epson Picturemate Dash PM 260
How to print multiple photos on 1 sheet

1. Insert memory card into printer
2. When all photos have loaded, use arrows to find 1st photo you want
3. When it?s highlighted, make sure it says Total 1, then press OK
4. Highlight 2nd photo and press OK
5. Menu
6. Print Settings
7. Layout
8. Jumbo Wallet (or see other choices below)
9. Print ? which will give you a preview to make sure it?s how you want
10. Print again ? photo will print

Layout choices:
Jumbo Wallet = (2) 3?4 with no border; can do 2 different photos (great for Project Life!)
50?70 = (2) 2 x 2 ?; can do 2 different photos
Wallet = (2) 2?3; can do 2 different photos
Mini Wallet = (4) 1 ? x 1 ?; can do up to 4 different photos
US Passport = (2) 2?2; same photo only
Layout-3?3 = (1) 3?3 photo
*Portait Packages and US Passport = only prints multiple copies of same photo

There are MANY more layout choices. I just noted the ones I?m likely to use. I love having all these layouts to choose from because Simple Stories ?Sna@p!? is coming out with some new page protector configurations . . . including tons of new 3?4 options!! I?m using the Sn@p! line as the basis of my Project Life 2013 so this is very anticipated :)

I like that I don?t have to use a computer program to print multiple photos onto one 4?6. I just pop my SD card out of my camera and into the Picturemate and print away! I don?t know if these instructions work for other models or newer models of the Epson Picturemate. But even if they don?t work specifically, at least you can see that this CAN be done! In 10 easy steps :)

Just find the manual for your printer online and look for the section about photo layout. Then you will be happyyyyy like meeee!!!
