Wrestling fans can be a fickle bunch. I know because I'm one of them. I love the business and have for decades. I'm the guy that jumped on the WWE Network as soon as it was announced, and also subscribes to Ring of Honor, New Japan World, and tries to catch as many forms of wrestling as possible on Youtube. I'm pretty sure there are millions of other wrestling fans like me out there; people who are simply passionate about this form of entertainment.
So why are fans so irate over the outcome of the Royal Rumble last night? Without going into a mountain of details (which would take forever to outline), here's the jist of the issue: the WWE, which has a loud, vocal, and strong fanbase, and has been ignoring fan's wishes and pursuing their own agenda for what they deem to be compelling TV. With the internet wrestling community, it's been rumored for a while now that the WWE sees Rumble winner Roman Reigns as its golden boy and had every intention of having Reigns win the Rumble. Reigns is well liked enough, but a large majority of fans don't see Reigns as being a polished enough performer to become the face of the WWE. Moreever, we're upset at the fact that a number of more talented performers (Ziggler, Cesaro, even Daniel Bryan to an extent) are being misused in their storylines simply for the company to "force" Roman Reigns onto the fans as "the guy" just because he fits the look of a prototypical WWE champ.
Visit any online forum in the past few months and it's clear that passionate fans are not enamored with Reigns' performances. His promos are constantly being poked fun of, and his moves repertoire has been picked apart as another example of "the five moves of doom." He's not a compelling character, and he's being shoved into the fans' faces too quickly and too much. Ever wonder why John Cena, the face of the company for nearly a decade, gets booed so loudly everywhere he goes? It's because fans are tired of him. His character hasn't evolved in years, and it's painfully obvious that the WWE is simply content in riding the John Cena wave to more t-shirt sales and "Let's go Cena!" chants from kids.
It seems that the WWE is intent on passing the torch to Reigns, and intends to continue the "Super Cena/Cenawinslol" mentality with their new poster boy. To an extent, I get it. I know in the 80s they had Hulk Hogan as the face of the company, catering to families and sending kids into a tizzy every time he appeared. And I also get that the unprecedented creativity and line-crossing of the Attitude Era probably cannot be replicated due to sponsors and the WWE now being a publicly traded company. But with the power of the internet, it's clear that many MANY fans gravitate performers like Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, Zack Ryder, Rusev, etc. Just listen and watch the reactions they get whenever they appear on TV. It's enormous.
Take a look at the fans' reactions when Dolph Ziggler single handedly defeated Team Authority at Survivor Series. Look at the crowd reaction when Daniel Bryan won the titles at Wrestlemania XXX. We LOVE these guys. Excellent mat skills and compelling mic work goes a long way in gaining fans. I see it, the Reddit fans see it, 411mania sees it, Dave Meltzer sees it….so why can't the WWE see that these are the guys we want to see on TV? Is it simply because they don't fit Vince McMahon's "WWE look?"
#CancelWWENetwork is about fans no longer wanting to pay for a product that they don't like. I've seen lots of online comments stating that fans who are cancelling their subscriptions are acting like spoiled children. Some of them are, sure. There are always the few bad apples in any given situation that take things too far, but would YOU continue to pay for a product that you dislike? If you've stopped liking New Girl, for example, and tune in every week only to roll your eyes and wonder what the heck is going on with the show, and this continues for months, wouldn't you simply just stop watching? What happened with WCW towards the end? Fans voted against the poor product by switching to WWE and stopped watching WCW. Why continue to watching something that you don't like?
Last night, Roman Reigns entered the Rumble at #19, and the Philadelphia crowd started to boo. Then fan favorites like Dean Ambrose, Ryback, Cesaro etc. started to get eliminated, and the booing got more intense. The crowd knew it; they're not dumb. They knew Roman Reigns was going to win the Royal Rumble before the match was even over. The last entrant at #30 was fan favorite and longtime IWC darling Dolph Ziggler, who was unceremoniously eliminated moments later. The crowd started to get more irate. Then, out came The Rock, Roman Reigns' cousin in real life, to clean house and help secure a victory for Reigns. The Philly crowd booed. The Rock's appearance reeked of company endorsement for Reigns, and the crowd did not appreciate the attempt at pandering (which backfired). When Reigns finally eliminated Rusev and won the Rumble, the arena was filled with boos.
The end of the PPV was an image of Roman Reigns, who now will main event Wrestlemania XXXI, with arms held high in victory, trying his best to hide his disappointment as the crowd showered him with boos. Is it Reigns' fault? I don't think so. I honestly like the guy a lot. I'm sure 90% of the upset fanbase will also tell you that they don't have an issue with Reigns. But he's too raw and not a polished enough performer, and the fans simply don't think he's ready to carry the company YET. There are many performers that are there already, or at least are closer than Reigns, but the company is set on its vision. The fans don't matter; the t-shirt sales do, and as long as the WWE can still sell out arenas with screaming kids who beg for a Roman Reigns t-shirt and keep the shareholders happy with a champion with movie star good looks, they can hope and pretend that everything is ok.
#CancelWWENetwork might change their minds, though. Casual fans and kids aren't the ones who will subscribe to the WWE Network. The passionate fans are. And right now, the passionate fans aren't liking what they see.

Setting Up Flange Back Help!
The curse of the Z7U strikes again!
This new lens that I purchased has a ghost of a problem. I cannot get the flange back to setup properly.
Before I setup new lens, I noticed that when I zoom in, it has the sticky servo issue. IT zooms and then sticks, -
After I get a manual flange back setting to stick, the sticky servo issue goes away, and then the zoom will travel the entire lens distance.
The problem is that I had it setup, (or so I thought), pulled the camera out of the bag on a shoot, and it would not focus at all! - And the sticky servo was bakck... UGGG!!!! I spent 45 minutes on location trying to get the flangeback to focus before the event started, no go! IT would not focus Dang it!
After I got it back to my studio, I setup the chart, to 10' and tried to do an auto flange adjustment - no go, tried the manual, no go... I tried bringing in lighting, and all kind of variations to get the manual flange to go... one finally took, and the servo will now zoom through, and the camera will finally focus. But This is the 4th time, I have done this, and I opened the camera up again, and it has forgotten that I setup the flange back.
I read in the manual it is supposed to memorize the settings, but it does not seem to be doing so.
Before i send this in again... can anyone let me know what they do exactly to setup the flange back?
IS anyone having a focs, issue to this degree?
Thanks for any help.

Anyone experience the need to use the flangeback setup more than once?
Any ideas?
Anyone having problems with the focus and the lens?
Also, I am wondering a the firmware update would make a difference... Is the firmware available online anywhere? Has anyone updated their camera DIY?
I sold my fuji lens, now I wish I would of kept it. It was hard to back focus, but at least it worked!
Thanks for any advice.

Hi George, may not be relevant to your situation, but I once had trouble automatically setting the flange back on my Z7 when there was a window in the frame - I had pinned the target too close to the window and the excessive contrast meant it couldn't calibrate itself.
I moved the target to a plain grey wall and it then worked fine. I reckon the camera was about six feet away from the target.

Other than the contrast issue mentioned above, getting an FB process to stick usually isn't that tiresome and unpredictable...
Perhaps the lens you bought wasn't as reliable as hoped?
Or (and this is likely easy to discredit), but perhaps your Z7U thinks it's using the original stock lens, and the not the new one, so it's defaulting to old settings? I'm not sure how the camera's brain recognizes different examples of the identical stock lens.
But admittedly, I'm far from a camera tech.... I'd definitely have an expert look at this if the issue persists.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am so dissapointed in this camera! I did setup the focus chart against a white wall, (my 129" projector screen) and then threw 600 watts of light to get some the area lit up.
I open the fstops up as wide as it will go, then setup the exposure.
Once I try to do the auto flange back, it reports that it cannot adjust.
After about 10 variations for the exposure, the manual adjustment finally sticks.
After the manual flange back setting is complete, it focus's fine, and the zoom will zoom in and out just fine without it "stickking". That was 3 days ago, I pull it out of the bag today, put a fresh battery in, and the lens now zooms sticky, and then will not focus like normal.
I am taking the camera in again.
I cannot figure out how it memorizes the settings for the lens. I tried to reset the camera and nothing makes a difference.
Thanks for any other feedback and advice.

Need Help.
I need to get my z7u fixed.
When I set the flange back (and if I can) it will not memorize the settings. It takes about 20 trys before I seem to get the flange back to "complete" then the zoom through, and the focus are awesome. Turn the camera off, and whamo - it does not sture the information, its is all out of focus, and does not zoom through, the servo is sticky once again.
Has anyone sent their camera in to Sony to have the backfocus adjusted. If so - how much did that cost?
Also, has anyone - a dealer - sony guru, etc... had this problem, and know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

In 2007 Mercedes-Benz is starting a major diesel push in the US market with the introduction of their BlueTec emissions technology. Mercedes sales and marketing boss Klaus Maier wants to see diesels comprise ten percent of US sales for the Stuttgart car-maker by 2010. A 45-state legal E320 diesel has been available since last October and additional 50-state legal models will be available later this year.
The fifty-state legal models will have the phase two BlueTec system that adds a urea injection system to almost completely eliminate the NOx emissions. DaimlerChrysler will also be installing BlueTec diesels in Chrysler models starting with the updated Jeep Grand Cherokee this spring and spreading to other models in the next couple of model years. DCX has also licensed the technology to Volkswagen and BMW for their diesel engines.

Predictably, the occupation camp in Zucotti Park near Wall Street, the epicenter of the movement that is trying to peacefully overthrow the corporate kleptocracy and to achieve a more equitable distribution of the fruits of free-market capitalism and to make the Big Shift toward a more empathetic civilization that will be more sensitive to the natural world which is being destroyed by unregulated greed, has been forcibly evicted by the NYPD. Similar initiatives to break up this embarrassing movement are underway in Berkley, Salt Lake City, Calgary, and Toronto. But its underlying raison d'etre is not going to go away. More than a thousand cities in North America are occupied by this spontaneous demonstration against the terrible way things are. I myself have my little cadre of Tidebuckas, a movement I started in February of last year when the hope of real change that swept Obama into office had been shut down by the Republican dirty tricksters (see the call to action and listen to the rant by clicking on Tidebuckas on the title page of this site). Apparently a bunch of occupiers appeared at one of Barbara Backman's campaign stops and made it impossible for her to unleash her venom against the EPA, universal health care, global warmism, etc., and another group invaded an exclusive golf course and disrupted the rounds of its fat-cat members. This thing is not going away. The changes that the Sixties were only partially able to accomplish are still waiting to be made, and the need to make them is more desperate than ever.
While the occupy movement is still leaderless, staunchly anarchic and acephalous lest some ruthless Lenin type ride it to power, it does have a manifesto, which my sister emailed me the other day. It may be a good idea to take a look at it, for those who are still wondering what this movement is all about :
Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
This document was accepted by the NYC General Assembly on September 29, 2011
Translations: French, Slovak, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese
- They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
- They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
- They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
- They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
- They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
- They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
- They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
- They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay.
- They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
- They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
- They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
- They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
- They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
- They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
- They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
- They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
- They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
- They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

It was so nice that my dad helped build your A frame house and to become friends with some of your boys. I look forward to traveling north an getting to see you up there, when is not yet known but will keep in touch!
While some of this is true (and much is insane), the fact of the matter is that corporations are allowed to do these things because of our corrupt political system. If politicians are willing and able to trade votes for money, it is no surprise that corporations lobby for advantages in the tax code and elsewhere. The problem is not capitalism, it is capitalism's cronies in Washington, among whom Obama is one of the worst offenders in history.
I agree that it is difficult the level of compensation paid to some businessmen, but it is likewise difficult to accept the amount of money paid to athletes and actors. In the real world, however, there will always be winners and losers. I say to the OWS'ers, go out and get a job. If you can't, create one. You are an American and have the right to succeed and the right to fail. If you fail, tough luck. The endgame of the "fairness" doctrine is a left wing dictatorship, and nobody in their right minds wants to go there.
alex replies : Hi Sellers, thanks for your comment and great to hear from an old classmate. I am hardly an expert, but it seems to me that the problem is that our democracy has been corrupted by the corporations who by buying the politicians with generous campaign contributions are dictating the policy which is destroying the planet and running our country to the ground, all for their own filthy lucre, for the mantra of Mammon, Make money for me. When someone exposes their destructive practices, they hire an attack flack to trash him, as Exxon did the two Ecuadorian environmentalists who were trying to make it liable for its $18 billion oil spill in the Ecuadorian Amazon; they were painted as terrorists connected to the Sendero Luminosa by Sam Singer, the same attack flak who trashed me when I was exposing the Bohemian Grove Club's twenty years of clandestine logging of its magnificent ancient redwoods. You can see my piece on this site, the Dispatch titled Bohemian Tragedy. Google Shoumatoff and you'll find the 4000 blobs trashing me by the right wing wingnuts Singer fed me to. Obama is one of the capitalism's biggest all-time cronies ? Come on Sellers. It is true that he seems to have been gotten to. Capitalism is a problem when it is unregulated, its endgame, which we are now suffering in, becomes totally amoral and all about making money for me, which is why we are in this pickle. I totally agree with you, my family having been victims of the Bolshevik revolution, that left-wing dictatorships are the worst form of government of all. Although the right wing governments of Argentina and Chile were also horrible. But fairness doesn't have to end up with totalitarian dictatorship. The new dispensation, the Big Shift toward a more empathetic civilization, is what the occupation movement is muddling toward, and what the Sixties were trying to accomplish, but only got part way there, before the dropouts dropped back in with a vengeance and became the selfish greedy capitalists who have brought country and the world to this pause. I admit that I may have a somewhat demonizing caricaturistic view of corporations, but I have seen the damage that they are doing all over the world, from the Amazon in the seventies to Cargill's soybean plantations in the Tapajos river valley today, to the oil palm coporations that are devastating the rainforest in Kalimantan, Borneo today. When you say that in the real world there are winners and losers, that sounds to me scarily like social Darwinism. What's your plan for the losers ? Drop them from airplanes, liquidate them in gas chambers ? Not everybody gets to be a winner or to have the fine education we did. As Endicott Peabody said, with great privilege comes great responsibility. I don't see the corporate kleptocracy, or the hundred millionaires who are the winners of the current capitalist system, the one percent who have a disproortionate share of the goodies, showing a lot of responsibility. But some do have a conscience and are trying to be responsible. The whole system, which has comes to a decadent dead end, has to be reformed.

The Rajya Sabha on Thursday unanimously cleared the amendments to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, overturning a March 2018 Supreme Court judgment pertaining to safeguard against the arrests under the Act. The Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha earlier this week.
The amendments provide that no preliminary enquiry will be required for registration of an FIR against any person under the Act; and the investigating officer will not require approval for arrests, if necessary. The provision of anticipatory bail as allowed by the Supreme Court has also been done away with.
Special courts in States
Replying to the debate on the Bill, Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Thawar Chand Gehlot said: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured his government's commitment towards backward classes. I today say that we are committed towards safeguarding their interest." He said 14 States had already constituted 195 special courts for deciding cases under the Act. Some States have declared district and session courts as special courts.
The amendments include a timeline of two months for completing the investigations and filing a chargesheet after registering the FIR. The cases are to be disposed of within two months of filing the chargesheet.
Although the Congress supported the Bill, former Union Minister Kumari Selja questioned the government's intention, saying it had brought in the amendments due to public agitation and pressure from the Congress-led Opposition. Ms. Selja said the law should have been brought under the 9th schedule of the Constitution (for protection against judicial review), or else the amendments would be challenged in the court again.
Samajwadi Party's Ram Gopal Yadav sought proper representation of the reserved categories in the judiciary, stating that it had virtually become the "third chamber" of Parliament and was encroaching upon its duty to legislate.
AIADMK's Vijila Sathyananth demanded a comprehensive anti-discrimination law, pointing out a very low conviction rate under the Act and that also, raised the issue of 9th schedule. Sanjay Raut of the Shiv Sena also supported the Bill, but said there was an apprehension that the law will be misused and innocents will be punished.
Concurring with Mr. Yadav's views, CPI's D. Raja also raised the issue of judiciary, the 9th schedule and sought a provision for fast-track courts for speedy justice.
JD(U)'s Ram Chandra Prasad Singh said the cases should be probed by an officer of the DSP rank and above. K. Keshava Rao of the TRS expressed apprehension that the amendments would be challenged in the court again.

GENEVA - The U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports education in war-torn Mali is in a state of crisis and in urgent need of international support to repair the damaged education system and get children back to school.
International donors respond quickly to emergencies with money for food, water, health care and other basic needs. But they tend to give little for education, which is low on their list of priorities.
The U.N. children's fund considers this misplaced and wrong on many levels. UNICEF representative in Mali, Lucia Elmi said education is important in any emergency because it saves lives.
She told VOA schools provide a protective environment for children, providing them with school meals, medical checkups and psycho-social support to help them deal with traumatic experiences
"It gives children a sense of normalcy — children who have been displaced, who have been under attack," she said. "In the school and in learning and also playing with other children and going through the normal educational routine is really the best way to save lives."
UNICEF reports 750 schools have been closed in central and northern Mali because of security concerns, preventing one-quarter of a million children from getting an education. This is on top of the one million children who regularly do not attend school because of poverty, chronic lack of infrastructure and teachers. Elmi said UNICEF is employing innovative methods to get children back to school.
"We are reaching children where children are," she said. "We are using radio. We are using solar powered tablets with pre-recorded material, pre-recorded lessons. We are really trying to reach them, including in areas where access is difficult because of the conflict."
Elmi said it is important to be flexible about school hours and locations because many children work, many are nomadic and on the move with their families. She said school curricula also have to be tailored to the needs, cultural and religious beliefs of the different communities.
School is about to close in Mali. It will re-open in October. The UNICEF representative is appealing to donors to respond generously to its $22 million appeal, which is only six percent funded. She said the money will make it possible for many children deprived of an education to go back to school.

GENEVA - The U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports education in war-torn Mali is in a state of crisis and in urgent need of international support to repair the damaged education system and get children back to school.

Yesterday, the blogosphere was buzzing over the latest story to give the race-baiting Matt Drudge a furious erection. A black man in a sketchy neighborhood in Pittsburgh robbed Ashley Todd, 20, an out-of-town Southern white woman– who also happened to be a McCain volunteer– at knifepoint. According to Todd, the man then became enraged when he noticed the McCain bumper sticker on her car. He then beat her and scratched the letter "B" into her face with a knife. The Drudge Report had this story blaring from the top of the page all day, probably hoping to bait the media into an extended discussion of race, crime, and out of control Obama supporters. So could this turn into Obama's Willie Horton moment?
I actually lived in Pittsburgh up until three years ago, so I have a guess as to how this story might play out both nationally and locally. First of all, on the national front, of course Fox News is going to take the bait. In fact, they already have. This is a screenshot of their front page at this very moment:
The lede of Fox News's story is that there are "unanswered questions" surrounding this woman's version of what happened. This is just an excuse for them to drag it out and discuss a story that otherwise has no legs over several days. "Why is the 'B' on her face drawn backwards? Why are the scratches so light? Why did she refuse medical treatment on the scene? Why are there other inconsistencies in her story? Was the attack truly politically motivated? What exactly did the man say?"Tomorrow, we'll find out a little more from the police, then we'll discuss that, then we'll get an interview with the woman and discuss that. 11 days before the election day, this story will probably replace Bill Ayers as the most pressing issue of our time– at least on Fox News. Keep in mind though, that I've seen a few comments from liberals questioning the woman's story as well. You're doing your side no favors. Just offer your sincere well wishes to the woman and move on. If there really are inconsistencies in her story, or if she's just plain making it up, then leave it for the police to figure it out. This really isn't the time for citizen journalism.
The thing is though, this story really has nothing to do with politics or race. It's about an out-of-town lady who walked into the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time and ran into a crazy person. In Pittsburgh, you can just as easily get assaulted for having a Cleveland Browns bumper sticker on your car. Also, my sense is that if crime was a major issue in this election, the way it was in 1988, this story could have really caught fire nationally– even among the legitimate newsrooms. As it is, crime really hasn't sparked any discussion at all in this election, other than in a Giuliani campaign that found little interest from actual voters.
Which brings me to how this story might play out locally. It matters because Pittsburgh happens to be in Pennsylvania, which happens to be a must-win state for John McCain and a really-kind-of-need-this-one state for Barack Obama. If Obama can come anywhere close to splitting the vote in Pittsburgh, his margins in Philadelphia will carry him over the top. If he gets pummeled in Western Pennsylvania, it's gonna be close. Too close. This story is Pennsylvania's October surprise.
In Pittsburgh, here's how this thing could play out and really spiral out of control. First of all, I wrote back in the primaries about how Pittsburgh is one of the more segregated cities in America and how that feeds into a simmering racial tension. Of course, any report in Pittsburgh of a black man assaulting a white woman has a good chance of making the local news. A story getting this kind of national attention will lead the news, maybe for days.
And then the inevitable happens. Some local radio shock jock (talk radio is big in Pittsburgh) will make a racially insensitive commentary on the subject, something like, "See! If Obama wins this election, black people in this country are going to start feeling like they can do whatever they want!" And that will lead to a furious black community calling in to dispute, and a white community that's split over the merits of the argument, but will feel decidedly uncomfortable with all the black anger– no matter how legitimate– on their radio. Then people will start calling for the shock jock to be fired, and that will set off another round of discussion, this time about a white man losing his job because of black people.
So while this story might fizzle out nationally, it could have some serious legs in Western Pennsylvania. If a talk radio war breaks out over the next week or so, if it spills over into the local news or the water coolers, if you get a lot of angry black folks and a lot of uneasy white folks in Pittsburgh, it will not bode well for Democrats. That is of course, unless the Steelers lose Sunday. Then this whole thing is on page A-29.
UPDATE: John McCain himself called the woman to offer his well wishes. It's a nice gesture; she did after all volunteer for his campaign. But he'll have to be careful not to be seen pushing this story. Leave that for Drudge and Fox News. Oh, and with Pennsylvania turning into something of a last stand for McCain, you can bet his staff there will be doing everything they can to throw fuel on this fire.
UPDATE #2: Wow! OCTOBER SURPRISE!
Pittsburgh Police is now reporting that Ashley Todd has confessed to making up the story. And just like that, all the politics of this swings in the exact opposite direction. Now the story is no longer about out of control (and don't forget, black!) Obama supporters, it's about one more example– the most egregious example so far– of the absolute insanity on the McCain side. I think the local chatter that will surround this story for the next week pushes Pennsylvania firmly into the Obama camp, even moreso than it was already. Western Pennsylvania may be racially… um, tense, but nobody on either side wants to be associated with stuff like this.
Make no mistake, Ashley Todd's story is the worst instance of race-baiting since the Duke lacrosse "victim." A lot of the details of this story looked fishy to me from the jump: The "B" scratched lightly– and backwards– in her face; the fact that she posted pictures of herself immediately to her MySpace page (what victim of a brutal assault like that goes straight to MySpace that same night?); her suspiciously non-swollen "black eye"; the appearance in her story by the famous "unidentified black male" (even The Sopranos did an episode about that guy); the suspect political quotes by her supposed attacker ("You are going to be a Barack supporter!"); and then there was this quote on Todd's Myspace page:
Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her cloths [sic] off, but its [sic] better if you do.
Maybe I should have been more openly skeptical, but blame an overabundance of caution on my part for not wanting to attack the story of a potential assault victim, especially a woman, until all the facts were in. But, yeah, Ashley Todd is a complete nutcase. Throw her in jail. Lying about a hate crime should be a hate crime.
The other person to blame here is Matt Drudge, who took an apparent local mugging and successfully (to his now regret) turned it into a national political firestorm. There's no reason– other than race-baiting– as to why this story should have been headlining the Drudge Report all day yesterday, and there's no reason why it should have been splashed across the front page of the Fox News website. And trust me, Fox was ready to push this thing for all it was worth. Ashley Todd's mugger was about to become the new Willie Horton.
Here's John Moody, the Executive VP of Fox News, talking about the all-consuming importance of this story (aka why we must report on this night and day until November 4):
If Ms. Todd's allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee.
What connection at all does this mugger have to Barack Obama? How does a random act of violence in Pittsburgh say anything about his candidacy? Two words: Race. Baiting. But unfortunately– for Fox News– Mr. Moody then continued in a moment of perhaps unintentional candor:
If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.
Actually, it's Drudge and Fox News who are forever linked to race-baiting. I disagree completely that this incident reflects in any way on John McCain. He's just as innocent here as Obama. It's one thing for McCain and Palin to work their supporters up into a jingoistic frenzy about terrorists and patriotism, and then have a number of those supporters get out of control. It's another thing for a crazy person, Ashley Todd, to take it upon herself to "help" the campaign by faking an armed robbery. I can't blame McCain one bit for this; I don't even blame them for calling her last night to offer well wishes. It was the right thing to do.
But I do agree with Moody that McCain's quest for the presidency is now over. It was over three weeks ago. But the blowback from this October surprise proves that McCain is cursed. Even when he catches what seems to be a break, perhaps a little light at the end of the tunnel, it turns out to be a train barreling down the tracks to run him over. He can't win. Western Pennsylvania is now out of reach, which means Pennsylvania is out of reach.
And Ashley Todd, the idealistic young volunteer who was just trying to do her part, will forever be known as the woman who mugged and assaulted John McCain's campaign.

Glad you got a good one. I know all about the having to push the piece down to get the slide on. It had nothing to do with the problems mine had. Carried a G2S mag in the same carrier that was made for the 938 and the G2S mag is rock solid. Took the Taurus to the range today. 80rds no problems.
Need to adjust the sight a bit. When I used the blue line to the right of the # 7 it was a stacked line. I'll bring the screwdrivers next time and it should be spot on.

Are you bored with carrying similar and mainstream outfits each day? The actual sports activities occasion could be sprinting four hundred meters, or operating a ten Km marathon. However bear in mind that when you're training for an event, not every coaching session is a 400 meter sprint or a 10 km run. You will likely be concerned in a program that requires you to build muscle, endurance, and so on.
Let's begin by contemplating those who merely need to look good and who aren't concerned in regards to the well being dangers concerned. This group of persons are in a very unlucky place. They may often go for shoes that trigger ache – they've determined to do so as a result of they imagine that they look fashionable.
Then in the 1920's, there was one other huge shift in ladies's clothes with ladies getting into the workforce throughout WWI and gaining the fitting to vote. They needed to suppose extra practically about their outfits, and demanded less restrictive, more casual attire. Though women continued to wear skirts, their clothing grew to become extra masculine, loser and sporty.
Should you can?t wear wool because of allergic reactions, you'll find polyester or linen fits. Polyester doesn't maintain up in addition to wool and doesn?t breathe nicely, which makes it uncomfortable to wear through the summer time months. Nonetheless, it is a funds pleasant choice and travels properly, since it doesn?t wrinkle easily. Linen breathes significantly better than polyester, but it tends to wrinkle simply. For those who determine you want a linen suit, you may wish to search for a linen/polyester mix as a substitute.

Education needed to get more to take up health screening
People aged 40 and above can soon get highly subsidised health screenings for at most $5 for up to five different tests. This new programme launched by the Health Ministry (MOH) could well be a game changer.
That is because the tests are for five conditions - diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, cervical and colorectal cancers - which are common, serious and treatable.
If such conditions are discovered and treated early, the number of people who end up with serious complications could be significantly reduced. This, in turn, should lead to a drop in the number of people needing years of hospital and, perhaps, nursing home care for serious ailments.
It would also reduce the "disability years" of the average Singaporean - currently about a decade of ill-health. The life expectancy here is increasing by roughly three years every decade.
Unfortunately, for many, it also means longer years lived in poor health.
One big health issue here is that many people with chronic ailments are blithely unaware of them.
As a result, they do not take steps to treat the problem. Some discover their disease only when it has progressed and complications, such as kidney failure or a heart attack, land them in hospital.
The two cancers being tested are preventable if caught at the pre-cancerous stage. Yet, today, colon cancer remains the top cancer here, with about 2,000 people diagnosed each year and 750 dying of it. Early diagnosis could prevent much of this as it is usually a slow growing cancer.
Similarly, having uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels increase a person's risk of getting heart attack, heart failure and stroke.
Diabetes also increases the risk of getting kidney failure, going blind and needing gangrenous limbs amputated. Doctors here carry out about 1,500 amputations a year on diabetic patients.
The National Health Survey 2010 found that among people aged between 18 and 69, 11.3 per cent had diabetes, 17.4 per cent had high cholesterol levels and 23.5 per cent had hypertension.
Those figures, while high, are not as alarming as the finding that 51.4 per cent, or more than half the estimated 440,000 diabetics here, did not even know they had the medical problem.
Nor, for that matter, did 26.3 per cent of people with high blood pressure and 44.1 per cent with high cholesterol levels.
If all the sufferers of these chronic diseases knew about their conditions,some, hopefully the majority, would take steps to control or reverse their conditions.
In any case, they would get medical attention early. This should then reduce the number of people suffering from heart attacks, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and gangrene requiring amputation.
However, not all diabetics are able to keep the disease under control. In Singapore, one in three known diabetics is not able to keep blood sugar at optimal levels, according to the MOH.
This could be due, in part, to discovering the problem late when the disease has well progressed. But despite the failure to properly control blood sugar levels, being treated for the disease would probably delay the onset of more serious problems.
Not ideal, but certainly better than doing nothing at all.
One barrier to more people getting tested is probably the cost. Most people who do not feel sick - and, in the early stages, these chronic conditions have no symptoms - see no reason to pay about $100 every few years to find out whether they have an ailment.
With the Government paying the lion's share of the cost, including consultation with a doctor and testing Pioneer Generation patients for free, this barrier should get knocked down.
Of course, cost is not the only reason people do not go for regular screening. Some just cannot be bothered, some would rather not know that they have a serious ailment and some are not even aware that such screening is good for them.
So, while it is an excellent start, having very cheap health screening alone is not enough.
It must be coupled with greater health education to encourage people to go for the screening every three years, as recommended.
It would be interesting to see what the take-up rate is over the next few years.
Even more significant is whether these screenings result in far fewer complications in the years ahead as people become more health-conscious.
If the take-up rate is high and the programme proves successful in discovering and treating these medical problems early, the next step is to make sure that everyone goes for it.
This is because those who do not and suffer from these diseases would push up healthcare costs for everyone else, since we are now all covered by MediShield Life.
It does not matter whether they take up the Screen for Life offer or do it on their own. The important thing is finding out and treating these problems early.
There are more than 500,000 hospital admissions a year.
Even a drop of a few percentage points would be highly significant, both in terms of cost and in offering a better quality of life to people here.

He is his own little man, my James Christofer Truett. Yes, sir, he is!
Erik snapped this quick picture of JCT and some of the rest of his little choir group as they were getting positioned on stage. They were singing during our Sunday evening service which is very casual, but JCT insisted he wear his "preacher suit." I tried, at first, to talk him out of it, but then I decided why not?? You can't see it in the picture, but he wore his black converse high tops with his "preacher suit." He has his own unique style.
Joshua and Erik ran their second 5k together yesterday (Race for the Cure). They both really enjoy running together. They ran again this morning before the sun was fully up. It is starting to bother JCT. He wants to be part of the fun. I couldn't tell Saturday if he was upset because he missed out on running with his brother and his dad or whether he was just jealous that they got free Yoplait, and he had none??
Bless his heart, he just can't keep up. Erik keeps encouraging him, telling him when he can run 3 miles without stopping to walk, then he can run a race with them. So, this afternoon he decided to practice running. Daddy mapped out a track in the yard and timed him. He ran without stopping for 20 minutes and 30 seconds!! Go, little man! I was inside piddling on the computer while JCT ran circles on the make believe track.
JCT came bursting through the back door, "I did it mom! I ran 2 miles without stopping! I'm getting better!" I encouraged him, told him how I proud I was of him, etc. Then, he promptly asked for "leg medicine ~ the purple kind" because his leg muscles were sore! I gave him some Tylenol. Then, he grabbed our most current Eastbay catalog, and began searching for some running shoes.
Because, after all, he is now officially a runner. So, he needed some blue running shoes, no doubt the most expensive ones Eastbay sells.
Oh, and when I put him to bed tonight, he looked at me with his big green eyes and announced, "Mommy, next time I sing in front of the church I'd like to wear my Elvis suit." His white Elvis suit ~ complete with rhinestones and glitter ~ 100% appropriate ~ as long as they are singing How Great Thou Art.
I love my little man!!

TVA Asks For Feedback on Ocoee Agreement (TN)
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is seeking public input on a proposed management agreement with the Ocoee River Outfitters Association, U.S. Forest Service and the State of Tennessee (State) that would establish partner responsibilities to provide recreational releases and management on the Ocoee River in Polk County, Tennessee. Current agreements on flow releases and management expire at the end of 2018, and this effort aims to replace those agreements. The public comment period ends on July 19, 2017.
Under the proposed agreements, TVA would provide water releases from Ocoee Dam No. 2 and No. 3 for a term of 15 years on the middle and upper sections of the Ocoee River beginning in 2019. Water releases would be based on a schedule framework similar to the water release agreements currently in place:
- On the upper Ocoee, there would be no change to scheduled releases (see proposed release calendar for 2019).
- On the middle Ocoee, the release schedule would be the same as the current schedule, except for the elimination of five weekdays in late September each year (see proposed release calendar for 2019). These five days were previously provided due to a historic TVA equipment maintenance schedule that is no longer needed.
Under the proposed management agreement, TVA would also grant a recreation easement to the State across three tracts of land (approximately 27.2 acres in total) and the USFS would make two tracts (approximately 3.7 acres in total) available to the State to improve recreational river access.
In addition, the State would be responsible for a commercial-use permitting program and oversight of commercial rafting activities on the Ocoee River both administered by Tennessee State Parks. The State's responsibilities would include all general operational and maintenance activities necessary to facilitate commercial whitewater operations both within the TVA easement area and on two tracts of National Forest System lands. The State would also be responsible for emergency first response, law enforcement, traffic management, and other appropriate tasks along the Ocoee River corridor.
Importantly, the TVA website states: "The proposed water release agreement would not apply fees or restrict access to private boaters."
TVA is conducting an Environmental Assessment to evaluate environmental, economic, recreational, and other impacts of the proposed agreement. Today, TVA initiated a 30-day public comment period to solicit public input on the scope of these proposed actions and the potential impacts and management issues that should be addressed in the Environmental Assessment. Based on the public's feedback, TVA may develop and consider other alternatives during the review process. Paddlers will then have a chance to weigh in on the Draft Environmental Assessment.
American Whitewater encourages paddlers to file a respectful comment sharing your perspective, whatever that may be. American Whitewater will be filing comments sharing the results of our paddler survey, focused on the following concepts which paddlers are welcome to echo:
- Ocoee River releases are extremely valuable to the paddling community, the general public and the regional economy. TVA should fully consider these benefits.
- The TVA should consider an alternative under which they continue to provide the current schedule for the next 15-20 years, and provide any releases not paid for by the proposed payment agreements free of charge as a public benefit.
- The TVA should consider modest increases in flow volumes (total of 1200-1500cfs) during some releases to provide higher quality and more diverse recreation experiences.
- TVA should consider takeout improvements for private paddlers on the Middle Ocoee.
Any comments received, including names and addresses, will become part of the administrative record and will be available for public inspection. The public is encouraged to visit the following TVA website for more information: https://www.tva.com/Environment/Environmental-Stewardship/Environmental-Reviews/Ocoee-River-Whitewater-Rafting-Agreements
All written comments on this proposed action must be received on or before July 19, 2017. Written comments may be mailed to the address below or e-mailed to email@example.com. For additional information, please contact the TVA Public Land Information Center by phone at 1-800-882-5263, or mail:

First Annual Frank Calamino Day
In Memory of a True Lionheart and a Friend
I feel an incredible amount of sadness. Frank was a great guy who made me feel happy to be in his company off the pitch and more secure and comfortable when he was on the pitch. For those of you who didn't have the pleasure of playing rugby with Frank, the following story depicts what kindof person he was.(it's also my favorite story to tell those who don't play the game and ask why I do.)
Playing a few years back against the Barbs, I was subject to rather late hit by my opposite number. I was thrown into the bleachers while already out of bounds. I wasn't hurt bad and thought nothing of the incident. Frank came over and told me not to worry, he'll take care of it.
I waited until the end of the game, nothing happened and I forgot about the incident. 2 years later we are playing the Barbs again. A player gets hurt and is carried off the field. Again, I thought nothing of until Frank comes over and says, "I told you, I'd take care of it."

Newspaper: The Sun Chronicle
By: Rick Foster: link to article
March 21, 2010
ATTLEBORO — When 88-year-old Myrtis White was ready to retire to a nursing home several years ago, she helped her granddaughter pick out Life Care Center of Attleboro — a modern, sparkling facility with airy rooms and a home-like decor.
" When you walk through the door it's very impressive," said Kim Cavalieri of North Attleboro, one of White's five adult grandchildren. " She seemed to be very happy."
Life Care's advertising, which touted the home's high standards and fall-prevention program, assured family members that the 100-pound, legally blind woman would be well cared for.
Yet less than four years later, Myrtis White lie on the floor of her room dying of a skull fracture and related injuries. Shockingly, statements by Attleboro Fire Department rescuers accused the nursing home staff of doing little to aid the stricken woman.
Legal documents filed in connection with the 1997 case said it was the 30th fall suffered by the 92-year-old great grandmother while at Life Care — nine involving broken bones. An arbitrator said the accidents occurred despite recommendations that White be closely watched and assurances Life Care gave the family that it was working on the problem.
White's family sued and last December was awarded $409,000 by an independent arbitrator who found that Life Care was negligent, violated reporting requirements and engaged in unfair and deceptive acts by doing so. A wrongful death claim was denied.
A Life Care spokesman called the White case " unfortunate" and said the facility strives to maintain to the highest standards of care.
For the state's 500 nursing homes, stories like White's symbolize the latest crisis to strike an industry already beset by bankruptcies, inadequate Medicaid compensation and a shortage of qualified health care workers. Lawsuits against extended-care facilities, once rare, are being brought in increasing numbers by families charging negligence, mistreatment and inadequate staffing.
Nationwide, suits against nursing homes are " mushrooming" said Janet Wells, director of public policy for the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform.
Four of the top 50 U.S. jury verdicts in 2001 were against nursing homes and their owners, according to the National Lawyers' Weekly. One was a $312 million judgment against a Texas facility.
In Massachusetts only a handful of nursing home cases reached juries throughout the 1990s, according to David Hoey, a Reading attorney whose firm specializes in health care cases. Dozens of cases are now pending, although a majority will probably end up in pre-trial settlements or before arbitrators.
Industry advocates link the upsurge in consumer complaints and lawsuits to increased economic pressures on nursing homes and " opportunistic" lawyers. Families and litigators say the industry has only itself to blame.
Nursing homes face increasing hurdles to maintain care standards, says Ernie Corrigan, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Extended Care Federation. Declining Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements cover as little as 70 percent of patient costs, and dwindling revenues make it harder for homes to offer competitive salaries to qualified health care workers.
But critics say many homes are poorly run, often by bottom-line-oriented administrators short on medical knowledge. " Nursing homes can say they lack adequate reimbursement and have trouble getting qualified staff and both are true," Hoey said, " but the core reason for the problems they're facing is mismanagement."
Recent cases of nursing home injuries and deaths have cited illiterate care workers unable to read patients' orders, a woman whose spine was damaged when unqualified employees moved her and untreated bed sores that were allowed to grow into life-threatening skin ulcers.
Corrigan said such criticism is overblown.
" The idea that nursing home workers can't make a mistake is an ideal that can never be reached," he said. " The vast majority of owners, administrators and direct care workers work harder for less money than they could get in other professions and they do it because they care about the welfare of patients."
Cavalieri said her family still isn't over the 1997 tragedy in which her grandmother lie semi-conscious and alone for up to three hours before being discovered by a laundry worker. She died in a hospital 12 hours later.
White, who suffered from short-term memory loss, apparently fell while trying to climb over the side rails on her bed. She was not strapped in, in keeping with Life Care's " restraint-free" policy.
Arbitrator John T. Murray determined that other falls occurred when White was allowed to walk about unattended — in spite of orders that she be accompanied and supervised closely.
" It still leaves a bad taste," Cavalieri said. " I wish like anything we'd gotten her out of there."
Particularly disturbing was testimony by three Attleboro Fire Department rescue crewmen that no one from the nursing home seemed to be trying to help White when they arrived.
" No staff member from LCC was assisting or was any care given to the patient prior to Engine Four's arrival," Attleboro EMT Timothy Poirier said in a deposition. " Nurses had no idea how long she had been down or if she was unconscious when they found her."
Michael McGahan, the lawyer who handled the case for White's grandchildren, said Life Care failed in its obligation both to White, its patient, and the family who placed the 92-year-old in its care.
" Anyone who places a family member in a nursing home relies on the operator's experience and skill in caring for that loved one," he said. " They're entitled to rely on what they're being told."
Nursing home Administrator Patrick O'Connor, who did not work at the facility in 1997, said confidentiality restrictions bar him from commenting directly on White's death. But he said there have been no similar incidents in the home's 10-year history.
" We're human," he said. " We're people who care for other people. We'd like to be as perfect as it's possible to be."
Despite the arbitrator's findings, O'Connor noted that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health thoroughly investigated Myrtis White's death and never imposed any sanctions against the nursing home for violating any laws or regulations.
Life Care recently received an upgrade in its accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and improved its score on a key indicator of nursing home performance.
The joint commission, which reviews credentials of more than 18,000 U.S. nursing homes, hospitals and health care providers, advanced Life Care's accreditation status last May to " full compliance." Since 1999, the nursing home had been accredited with " requirements for improvement."
Life Care also reduced the number of health deficiencies reported by the state Department of Public Health from 11 in 2000 to six — none serious — during the most recent inspection. The average number of deficiencies for Massachusetts nursing homes, in categories ranging from nutrition to administration, is four.
Cavalieri said she would like to have seen an improvement sooner. She's still haunted, she says, by images of her grandmother's funeral.
" Some of the great-grandchildren asked us adults if we didn't want to get up and say something," she said. " But none of us could speak."
As the adults mourned, the oldest of the children took turns telling how they would miss Grandma White.

Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) is a program otherwise known as "Laura's Law" or AB 1421. Mendocino County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution for a one year Assisted Outpatient pilot implementation project on November 10th, 2014. Assisted Outpatient Treatment is a court ordered treatment program for clients that meet 9 very specific criteria: an adult with severe mental illness, believed to be safety risk in the community, with a history of non-compliance, who has been offered but failed to engage in treatment, without treatment will be a risk to self or others, but doesn't currently meet 5150 criteria, who's mental health condition is deteriorating, and would benefit from outpatient treatment.
The goal of AOT is to engage the client in treatment and reduce safety risks to clients and the community. Least restrictive level of care is always maintained to minimize infringement of client rights while still maintaining community safety. While AOT is court ordered and by definition an involuntary service, it is successful through development and establishment of cooperation with the client.

Vince McMahon Breaks XFL Promise
When Vince McMahon revitalized his XFL football division, he promised that the company would remain separate from the WWE and its resources.
When Vince McMahon revitalized his XFL football division, he promised that the company would remain separate from the WWE and its resources. In fact, both companies would not have anything to do with one another. Now, it would seem that Vince has broken that promise.
WWE Employees Are Involved with XFL
Brad Shepard reported a while ago that WWE employees were more involved with the XFL football league than everyone thought. While things remained a theory some weeks ago, Shepard has now found proof that WWE employees are indeed involved with Vince's XFL project.
During his search for the truth, Shepard was able to pinpoint similar graphics used between the XFL announcement and the video package used to announce the location of WrestleMania 35.
Vince Sells Shares to Fund XFL?
I recently reported that Vince has sold a large number of WWE shares. Many believe that the sale of those shares was meant to fund the XFL, Vince's upcoming project.
The XFL has been tried and failed in the past, so the upcoming rebirth of the XFL worries many wrestling fans. In fact, some people believe Vince is more interested in XFL than wrestling at the moment. That would explain why wrestling has gone downhill so much over the past two years.
Whatever the truth between Vince and the XFL, many reporters are looking closely at the upcoming XFL relaunch and its secret relationship with WWE and WWE's resources. Still, let's face it. The WWE is still Vince's company, so there is little fans can do about his moving interest.
