Effingham Daily News
A professional football player apparently passing through the Effingham area was arrested Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and other charges.
In addition to the DUI charge, Donald David Washington III, 25, was charged with unlawful possession of cannabis, speeding and driving while license suspended. Effingham County State's Attorney Ed Deters said Washington had been stopped Thursday afternoon by an Illinois state trooper for allegedly traveling 86 miles per hour in a 65-mile per hour zone on Interstate 70 about five miles west of Effingham.
Judge Ericka Sanders set bond at $20,000. The relatively high bond was set because authorities believe more charges might be pending. Deters said police found crushed pills during a search after Washington's arrest and believe they may be a controlled substance. The pills were sent away for testing, he said.
Sanders told Washington she would not issue an arrest warrant for any new charges related to the pills because of the high bond.
Washington posted $2,000 bail almost immediately after his court appearance.
Washington has been a backup defensive back for the Kansas City Chiefs since 2009. He grew up in Indianapolis and played football at Ohio State University.
A complete version of this story will appear in Saturday's print edition of the Effingham Daily News.

Netta and her parents desperately seek answers to Adam's disappearance. Could he have run away with a girl he met on-line? Was he abducted for ransom? Or, is it possible that Palestinian terrorism is to blame--revenge for his Israeli father's work?
When Netta makes a new and unlikely friend at school, an Arab boy named Laith, she begins addressing issues of prejudice--her classmates prejudice against foreign students, her own prejudice against Palestinians, and her family's growing suspicion that Palestinian hatred of Israelis is behind Adam's disappearance.
In this thoughtful and suspenseful book, Gloria Miklowitz explores issues of Middle Eastern relationships through the eyes of young people on both sides of the age-old conflict. The surprising conclusion to the novel will leave readers with a renewed understanding of other people's needs, fears, and beliefs. Recommended for ages 12 and up.

McALESTER —
Six candidates in three races are set to participate at tonight's candidate forum at the Kiamichi Technology Center in McAlester.
The forum is set begin at 6 p.m. in KTC's Seminar Center, on the southeast side of the campus.
Candidates for office in the District 2 U.S. representative's race, the District 7 state Senate race and the Pittsburg County sheriff's election are among those set to participate.
In addition to the candidate's races, representatives from the city of McAlester are also set to speak and answer questions regarding the city's two bond refinancing questions, which are also on the ballot for the Nov. 6 General Election.
McAlester News-Capital Publisher Amy Johns will moderate the forum, which is sponsored by the News-Capital and KTC. Questions will be asked by News-Capital Senior Editor James Beaty and Page Designer Brandy Brackett.
Candidates will be give an opportunity for two minute opening statements, followed by a question and answer period. Following the questions, candidates will then be given an opportunity for a two minute closing statement.
Candidates who have confirmed they will participate in the U.S. District 2 representative's race are Democratic Rob Wallace, of Fort Gibson, and Independent candidate Michael Fulks, of Heavener. Republican candidate Markwayne Mullin , of Westville, opted to attend a campaign event in Idabel instead, according to his campaign.
The three candidates are seeking the Congressional seat currently held by District 2 U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Muskogee, who decided not to seek re-election.
In the District 7 state Senate race, Democratic candidate J. Paul Lane, of McAlester, and Republican candidate Larry Boggs, of Red Oak, are vying for the state senate seat currently held by Richard Lerblance, D-Hartshorne. Lerblance, who would have been prevented by term limits from serving the full four-years in office if re-elected, opted not to file for the office this year.
Both candidates in the race for Pittsburg County Sheriff have confirmed they will participate. Incumbent Democratic Sheriff Joel Kerns is seeking a second four-year term in office, while Independent candidate Tracy Parrott, a former Pittsburg County deputy, is also seeking the sheriff's post.

Re-Using is Key to Eco Renovation
Humans all over the world are waking up to the fact that, as a species, we live in an unsustainable manner. The vast dependence on finite resources, the throw-away culture; none of it can be sustained permanently, and a breaking point is sure to come at some point in the not-so-far off future. Now this is no harbinger of the end of the world, but simply the world as we know it. Humans are incredibly resourceful, and many are already working on ways to rid us of our dependence on fossil fuels.
One factor that remains though is the throw away culture in which an item is disposed of, not because it is broken, but simply because it is not needed right now. One way in which we can all individually combat this is to re-use and re-purpose those things that would otherwise be thrown away. Furniture is one of the most expensive items that we buy, and yet many still see them as disposable items and regularly replace them. There are several ways to repurpose your fittings and ensure that less of it finds its way to a landfill.
A great way is to simply spruce it up; whether it's a loose table leg or a tattered chair, it is a simple and rewarding undertaking to fix this furniture yourself. Simply tightening the fixings or replacing them is a cheap way to get them back to working condition. If it is the aesthetic of these items that is worse for wear, or they are simply no longer attractive, then why not re-finish or recover them? Purchasing a vibrant and fun replacement fabric from Sew Scrumptious can give those old fashioned chairs a new lease of life and make them a real design feature.
If you are looking to buy new furniture rather than replace it, then there are several suppliers out there that are committed to responsibly sourcing the materials they use. This approach creates some truly interesting pieces. For example, www.freerangedesigns.co.uk create beautiful pieces such as their storytelling chairs. With hugely attractive pieces being made from 100% reclaimed and repurposed materials, it helps you to know that you are doing your part to lessen waste.
For those that are not overly practical, the idea of rejuvenating their furnishings can be daunting; and indeed there are some jobs that are best left to the professionals. Repair specialists and French polishers will be able to breathe fresh life into your ageing and damaged items. Many will even help to customise your furnishings, and work with you to get something truly special from those items that have lost their appeal.
When you next come to renovate your home why not try to re-purpose old stuff and buy from responsible suppliers? This will ensure that you can rest easy in the knowledge that your home is that little bit more friendly to its surroundings.

Astounded and kind of humbled that @dawgsports tonight linked to a very very old post I wrote. Maybe I should get back to blogging?— Jim Ludlam (@thebstardsback) February 20, 2013 Getting...
T. Kyle King had trouble getting to sleep after the national championship game. He thought about Dr. Seuss, Corey Smith, and why 2010 may be the Georgia Bulldogs' year to win the national...
Bulldog Nation is a place of turmoil with tough decisions to make. Dawg Sports hopes Mark Richt makes the difficult decision so the Georgia faithful won't have to make a difficult one of their own.

That approach sparked abuses, according to a July report by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, led by Tom Harkin, D-Iow. The committee examined 30 education companies over two years.
The companies, which received $32 billion in federal financial aid in 2009-2010, are a poor investment of taxpayer money because they spend more on marketing than instruction, cost more than comparable programs elsewhere, have high drop-out rates and account for almost half of all student-loan defaults, even though they enroll only one in 10 students.
The report found "overwhelming documentation of exorbitant tuition, aggressive student recruiting and abysmal student outcomes," Harkin said. For-profit colleges disputed many of the findings and said their students struggle because they tend to be working adults from lower-income families.
Now, as fewer students sign up at for-profit schools, many low-income and minority students may skip college altogether, undercutting a societal goal of "open access" to higher education, said Steve Gunderson, president of the Washington- based Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, which represents for-profit colleges.
Both Apollo and Kaplan have instituted programs that let students try out courses before committing, to weed out those who won't complete them. At the University of Phoenix, about 20 percent choose not to attend after its free three-week orientation workshop, Apollo's Brenner said.
The company also introduced a financial-planning program this month to let students know how much they will pay monthly on their student loans after they graduate.
As students become more price-sensitive in a weak economy, "the competition has accelerated in higher education in a way that's very healthy for students," Brenner said.

More Info
Fast & Hassle-Free Setup
SVAT's VIS 300-Series video intercom system is incredibly easy to set up and use. It can work with your existing door bell wiring, so you can do everything yourself within minutes (50ft cable included). The video, audio and power all run through two wires, so no additional or complicated wiring is necessary.
See and Hear Everything with Video & Audio
Enjoy the freedom of being able to safely monitor your entrance and carry on conversations without ever having to open the door to strangers. This feature can put you at ease when you or your children feel uncomfortable being home alone or talking to visitors. When you hear a suspicious noise or are curious to see what is happening outside, you can simply press the view button and instantly monitor your entranceway. The included camera mounts also give you a nice angled view of anyone standing at your door.
Hands Free Operation
When a visitor arrives and presses the doorbell, your indoor monitor will automatically sound a chime and display your visitor on-screen. From the screen you can view, talk to and if connected to a door strike - unlock the door for whoever is visiting you. This allows you to safely and conveniently find out who is at your door without having to go to the door to check, which aids in avoiding unwanted solicitors.
24 Hour Protection with Night Vision
Never fuss with a peephole again, as this monitor provides a clear picture even when you monitor after-hours or in a dark location. The outdoor camera is equipped with advanced night vision, and six infrared (IR) LEDs let you see clearly in the dark, up to 8ft away. They activate automatically when it gets dark, and deactivate during the day to save energy (CDS sensor). You will always have a clear view of your entrance with the VIS300-7M2.
Unlock Your Door with the Touch of a Button
A door strike allows you to lock and unlock your door from a distance. Connect this system to a door strike and you will be able to open the door remotely by pressing the electronic opening button. Once set up, all you have to do is press the unlock button from the indoor monitor, your door will unlock and your visitor will hear a click and know that they are free to enter. (Door strike not included)
Flexible Mounting Options
Two 20 degree angled mounts are included with the system, which allow you to adjust the outdoor camera to a position that gives you the most comprehensive view of any visitor. The 7" LCD monitor has a contemporary design and can be wall mounted or placed on a table with the built-in stand (up to 50ft away from the door). The monitor should be kept in a location that is easily accessible to you at your home or business, so you can be notified of visitors as soon as they arrive.
8 Different Chimes
The VIS300-7M2 features a variety of standard chimes as well as different melodies for holidays, patriotic events and special occasions. You can change the door bell chime easily to coincide with any occasion by pressing the button on the side of the monitor. Included in the chimes are: traditional ding dongs, Oh Susanna, and Jingle Bells.

Complete Immunity Preemption
The U.S. Supreme Court has heard several cases in the past few years dealing with federal preemption — whether federal safety regulations preempt state tort claims. AAJ has fought against federal preemption in order to ensure individual rights are protected and that manufacturers can be held accountable for their defective products.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday, March 30th in Pliva v.

Gladys Mensing developed tardive dyskinesia, a severe neurological movement disorder, after taking metoclopramide, the generic version of Reglan, used to treat acid reflux.
Pliva v. Mensing was decided on June 23, 2011, in a 5-4 opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas.

yup it says gameboy in korean. I thought it was done too I did hours of searching and did not find it :)
NinjaStart107 weeks agoThe artwork is great! However, I'm not sure places would be able to print it because of the use of 'Game Boy Color'. Maybe if you change it to 'BMO Color' or maybe 'Game BMO Color', it might have a better chance to be accepted. Plus, I think using 'BMO' might help solidify the parody a bit more. Great work!
was thinking the same but it already says bmo at the side haha
Caddywompus107 weeks agoYou could always make BMO stand for something. For some reason they spell out Beemo on the internet, not sure if that is official or why people take the time to type Beemo instead of BMO.

McALESTER —
Local and area residents gathered Friday at Mount Triumph Missionary Baptist Church in McAlester for a special commemorative ceremony honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Rev. Dr. David Monk served as featured speaker for the event, speaking on the theme "Living the Dream... Moving Forward." Monk is minister at Edgewood United Methodist Church in Hartshorne, which is near the Haileyville city limits.
The Rev. Anthony D. Washington, pastor at Mount Triumph, served as master of ceremonies for the event.
"Since we are a multi-cultural nation, I feel it's important for us to know something about every person's culture we live and function with," Washington said.
The Rev. Donald Brown read from scripture and gave the invocation.
Students from James Brown's class at McAlester High School attended the ceremony, as did students from Holly Kennon's and Kris Wood's fourth grade classes at Edmond Doyle Elementary School.
Also during the ceremony, the MLK Unity Choir under the direction of Loise Washington performed two numbers.
"The MLK Unity Choir annually looks forward to this program," Loise Washington said.
She then led the choir in a sing titled "Grateful," a number in which the choir repeated the title phrase again and again in a rising crescendo as the number reached its peak.
In addition to the choir, performing musicians included Cletis Lowe, on electric keyboards and vocals; Kevin Priddle, the former McAlester mayor, on guitar; Donald Brown Jr., on drums and Jerri Burris, on piano.
The director then led the musicians and choir on a second number, ""I'm Grateful for the Things You've Done," a faster gospel-tinged number which led to many crowd members, including many of the children, spontaneously clapping along.
"Are you all grateful today?" Loise Washington asked, as many in the seats responded "Yes!"
That led to Monk's presentation as the keynote speaker.
He started with a story about two children playing together — a little rich girl and a little poor girl. While they played, the little rich girl pointed out a mansion on the hill, an airplane in the sky and a yacht on a lake, and told the other girl it all belonged to her daddy.
The little poor girl lowered her head, until she remembered a song she'd heard in Sunday school, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."
"See that hill," she told the other girl. "My Daddy made that hill."
"My Daddy made the moon and the stars and the sky. My Daddy made that water."
Speaking of the point of his story, Monk said "When we put things in perspective, God is the great equalizer."
"You pray for me and I'll pray for you," he said.
Monk also referred to the commemorative ceremony under way at the church.
"Events such as this remind us of whence we have come," he said.
"The dream of Martin Luther King was not forged in a vacuum," Monk said. "There's a larger context in which the dream of Martin Luther King was born."
Monk invoked the name of the writer and co-founder of the NAACP, W.E.B. Du Bois; men he called black nationalists, such as Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X, and men he called activists, such as the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
He also referred to a letter that King had written while in the Birmingham Jail, talking about the importance of Christians coming together.
Monk spoke of the Biblical scripture, which states "If my people come together ... I will heal their land."
He referred to Jacob, Daniel and Joseph from the Bible, noting Joseph was sold into slavery.
Returning to modern times, Monk criticized what he called "the prison industrial complex," saying we put people who commit non-violent crimes in prison "and throw away the key."
"No one can kill our dream," Monk said. "If He gives you a dream, a bullet can't kill it." What God has begun in you, he will finish, Monk said.
Monk spoke of the time when he said King referred to the part of the Constitution that stated "All men are created equal," but when he sent a "check" to cash in on that promise, it came back marked "insufficient funds."
He also referred to a speech by President Barack Obama.
"There is a vision of a better America," Monk said. "It begins with prayer.
"We should put aside our differences," he said.
"The dream is still alive. The vision before us is a vision of excellence.
"I hope you will continue to embrace the dream of Martin Luther King, but more important, to embrace the dream the vision of excellence," Monk said.
Following Monk's presentation, Pittsburg County Holiday Commission Chairman Miller Newman presented him with a framed certificate of appreciation for serving as speaker for the event.
"I don't know if I should say anything or not after that," Newman said, referring to Monks' presentation. "I just heard a message; everyone could take a piece of that and carry it with them."
Rev. Washington closed the ceremony.
"It's not a black America; it's not a white America," he said. "It's a melting pot and we're all here together."
Looking over the crowd, Washington nodded toward the students attending the event.
"It's a beautiful bouquet of flowers," he said.
"We pray for justice and equality," Washington said. "Show us how to have compassion, one for the other."

With a Trillion Dollar Coin, Obama Can Fight Dumb With Silly
It's time to mint the trillion dollar coin.
A trillion dollar platinum coin? Really? Has our politics really reached a point where such an obviously inane idea is gaining traction? Well, yes. When your capitol has become Clowntown, U.S.A., you sometimes need to fight bad ideas with silly ones.
The idea, if you haven't heard, is for President Obama to defuse the forthcoming debt ceiling crisis Republicans are busily manufacturing by directing the Treasury to mint a platinum coin worth $1 trillion. With an extra trillion on the books, the debt ceiling would no longer be an issue. While the Federal Reserve ordinarily is in charge of printing money, there's a law on the books allowing the Treasury secretary to produce platinum coinage of whatever value s/he sees fit.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the fiscal cliff.]
Sure, the purpose of the law was to permit the Treasury to issue commemorative coins. But so what? The purpose of the debt ceiling wasn't to give one party the leverage for a global, economic hostage crisis. Were the debt ceiling not raised, the Washington Post's Ezra Klein writes, "the damage to the economy would be tremendous, and it would occur at every level, from individuals looking for a loan to buy a house to hedge funders trying to play the markets." His full article on what happens if we breach the debt ceiling is worth a read.
So when one political party is acting like a political version of a James Bond villain ("Give in to my demands or I will wreck the world economy!") maybe the answer is for the president to channel his inner Dr. Evil ("One trillion dollars.")
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Republican Party.]
Again, it all sounds silly buts some very serious folks are lining up behind it, including the New York Times's Paul Krugman, who has a Nobel Prize lying around his office. New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler is also a fan. And despite some suggestions that none of this is legal because it's not what the law was intended for, Philip Diehl, a former director of the Mint, told Klein that it's perfectly legal.
So is it a silly idea? Yes. But Republican extremists have brought us into an age of political asymmetrical warfare, passing off crazy, dangerous ideas as serious. Why should the president unilaterally disarm on that front?

Keystone pipeline protesters bound for Pac Heights
Environmentalists opposing the Keystone XL oil pipeline are gearing up to protest in San Francisco's wealthy Pacific Heights neighborhood on April 3, when President Barack Obama will dine with the city's upper crust for a Democratic Party fundraiser.
Credo Action – the advocacy arm of telecom Credo Mobile – is mobilizing the protest in tandem with the Sierra Club, 350.org and Friends of the Earth. Credo Action political director Becky Bond says she expects around 1,000 protesters to turn out. Since the pipeline will traverse international boundaries, Obama has the power to reject permits for its construction, and environmentalists across the country are calling upon him to do so.
There have been protests outside the White House, but Bond says environmentalists' goal is to follow the president wherever he goes to demonstrate Keystone XL opposition. "Everywhere he has a public appearance he'll find protesters – even if he's attending a [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] fundraiser in Pac Heights," Bond told the Guardian. "Before we can get behind any part of his agenda, he needs to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. He doesn't realize how much this will hurt him, both in his base and with his donors."
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, Obama will make two different stops in Pac Heights when he visits San Francisco early next month. The main attraction will be a $32,500-per-person dinner hosted by philanthropists Ann and Gordon Getty at their mansion, listed as 2870 Broadway on Credo Action's event announcement. The Getty family fortune, as it happens, was originally derived from the oil industry.
Obama's other fundraising stop, meanwhile, raises some interesting questions.
The LA Times reports that prior to dining with the Gettys, Obama will attend "a $5,000-per-person cocktail reception at the home of Kat Taylor and Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund manager."
Steyer isn't just any former hedge fund manager – he's a billionaire and founder of Farallon Capital, one of the largest hedge funds in the world. Steyer is also a self-proclaimed environmentalist – he recently told the San Francisco Chronicle, "I believe global warming is the big moral issue of our time."
He made headlines earlier this week when he pledged to fund an opposition campaign challenging Congressional representative Stephen Lynch, a Massachusetts Democrat running for Senate, because Lynch supports the Keystone XL pipeline. Perhaps Obama will get an earful on Keystone inside Steyer's mansion as well as from protesters out on the street.
As a side note, Steyer's grave concern about climate change apparently hasn't always prevented him from investing in the fossil fuel industry. According to this report, Farallon Capital bought up 1.8 million shares of BP stock in August of 2011 – after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill utterly devastated the Gulf of Mexico.
Word is he will allow the pipeline anyway, but don't let thats top you guys trying to disturb his enjoyment of the petit fois gras vol-au-vents.
I'm long BP too. Makes sense for as long as the market is under-valuing it based on the hype from DH. Word - the Gulf wasn't devastated - it's doing just fine now.
and you would have bet long on Hitler in 1942 too, because you are a piece of filth with no moral values whatsoever.
Mystery 'oil sheen' grows near site of BP Gulf disaster, says researcher
Quote from article:
Dearth of wildlife
Regardless of the source of the sheen, more disheartening to Schumaker is the "dearth of marine life" in a 30 to 50 mile radius of the site of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. She's flies just about every month all year long.
"Since the fall of 2011, now about 14 months, I see no turtles, few if any dolphins, few if any rays — Manta rays, cownose, golden rays, any of them — few sharks, few bait balls, all of the things we used to see," she said.
That doesn't mean the wildlife is dead, she noted, but what they eat may no longer be plentiful. As a result, they are going elsewhere to find food.
A study published in August 2012 found that dispersants used during the spill response may have damaged the microoganisms at the bottom of the food chain, which would have dire implications for fish and larger sea animals.
"I guess the Gulf of Mexico in these parts is a stinky, dead desert for its previous visitors," Schumaker said in an email to NBC News.
As for the Keystone XL Pipeline: All but 1,700 miles of it is already built by a Canadian company. The rest of it will be built by the same company. No jobs for the U.S. of course, and the U.S. gets all of the environmental damage. Also, the oil will be put on the world market and sold anywhere in the world. Congress is trying to do a runaround and pass the pipeline without the White House resident getting his "hands dirty" by approving it (so that the Obamabots will say, "see, he didn't approve it; you have to blame congress and not my savior Obama"). I guess we'll all cook together on a very hot planet too, including willfully-ignorant "Guest" (the first comment....as always... one wonders if "Guest" pays for top posting on this site). S/he must get some sort of thrill out of it. Not much else going on in that life obviously.
is Prince William Sound.
The pipeline will create 30,000 US jobs.
some resorts are claiming there is now more marine life than before, due to the 20 billion spent on cleanup.
Prince William Sound is also cleaner than before the Exxon Valdez spill.
The ocean has an innate ability to recover from such spills.
and clean energy will create millions of U.S. jobs. The whole point of the pipeline is to ship refined canadian oil to Europe, while ensuring that we all die before the end of this century.
More of the stuff was dumped into the ocean than ever before to keep people from seeing what the true scale of the crime was. Who could have guessed that the dispresant which had never been tested for its effect on wildlife, used in massive quantities as *never* before, would have caused any trouble?
Certainly not any of the bootlicker trolls who plage this forum or other similar ones.
Oh wait, you don't have any.
The spreading slick of blame for the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill
BP and its contractors bear primary responsibility for the disaster. But regulators, the White House, even we share in it, too
Friday 1 March 2013 11.38 EST
It's now almost three years since the tragedy killed 11 men and triggered the worst oil spill in US history. The impact is still being felt in the gulf where disturbing numbers of dolphins and turtles are still being found dead on the beaches.
If you fly over the Gulf today, you will see the sheen of oil everywhere. Each oily patch constitutes an act of negligence to some degree, but some spillage is probably inevitable given the 4,000 active oil and gas platforms in the Gulf.
Natural Resources Defense Council:
Two years after the worst oil spill in U.S. history, a sorry legacy of enduring damage, a people wronged and a region scarred remains. The BP oil rig that exploded killed 11 workers and spewed some 170 million gallons of toxic crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Whether we look to habitat and wildlife, employment and pay, or basic health and family welfare, the BP oil blowout has devastated the region. The people of the Gulf Coast still live with the disaster every day.
"when President Barack Obama will dine with the city's upper crust for a Democratic Party fundraiser."
Translation: Obama will eat with the city's backwater cesspool for a Democratic Party shills and operatives fundraiser in order to keep their charade going.
Meanwhile, for people who are not the bourgeois elite (of the one party system with two names):
Going after social security and medicare:
Prominent so-called "Democrats" — including Obama and Pelosi — are openly suggesting that Medicare be "means-tested" (Orwellian word manipulation) and Social Security payments be reduced by applying a lower adjustment for inflation." When are these people going to take a reduction in their generous benefits that they receive? I have a feeling it won't be any time soon.
US Senate budget bill makes sequester cuts permanent
(If you don't like this link, find your own).
Related: Prince William Sound
Twenty years after the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil in Alaska's Prince William Sound, oil persists in the region and, in some places, "is nearly as toxic as it was the first few weeks after the spill," according to the council overseeing restoration efforts.
"This Exxon Valdez oil is decreasing at a rate of 0-4 percent per year," the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council stated in a report marking Tuesday's 20th anniversary of the worst oil spill in U.S. waters. "At this rate, the remaining oil will take decades and possibly centuries to disappear entirely."
The most recent article I could find about it:
Put this title in your search engine:
Oil plagues sound 20 years after Exxon Valdez
some claims that it is true. Google "the earth is flat" and you come up with millions.
But that is a really terrible way to try and acquire knowledge. Try googling "Prince William Sound is now cleaner . . ! and you will get some very different reports.
"Debate by googling" is a sad commentary on what passes for intellectual rigor these days.
It's interesting to me that most of these comments are about oil in the ocean and the clean up that didn't work. The protest is over a pipeline that is on the ground and not in the ocean. It seems the liberals are bashing everything. If you are concerned about the ocean and the mess left by a spill why would you also protest a pipeline on the ground? Why protest thousands of jobs, dependency on foreign oil and boosting the economy of the USA? The same people protested the Alaskan pipeline and that turned out to be a very good thing for the economy and wildlife as well. There is plenty to protest Obama about but this is ridiculous. Protest his continued campaign and corporations giving him millions of dollars. Protest him signing a UN deal to ban guns or protest his cover up and continued lies about Fast and Furious. All more important than your misguided efforts over this pipeline.
All of the things that you have suggested someone protest Obama over have been and are still protested on some message forums, and here on occasion. First you whine about people presenting information about oil and the oceans which was in response to the willfully-ignorant right-wing trolls on here bringing up Prince William Sound. But since you don't want protest of the Keystone, you instead try to divert attention to other issues but those other issues have nothing to do with oil. So since you whined about people talking about oceans and oil why would you want someone to talk about something completely off topic unrelated to oil? Your hypocrisy is noted and so is your total ignorance.
The Keystone XL pipeline is on top of a freshwater aquifer. DUH! The oil it carries is extremely heavy oil. That means it will have lots of grit and sand in it which will erode the pipe and the pipe will leak. Put in your search engine: pipe leaking on top of ground.
That happens a lot. Please inform yourself and stop spewing so much right-wing ignorant rhetoric.
always deflect.
Since they usually can't refute the points you make against them, they attempt to convince you that you are somehow wrong to make them.
"And lefties always generalize" LOL.
and make the point I was making because it was generalization?
And is a common but false basis for spreading fear and hate.
And so what is your excuse, pathetic troll?
so I would not know.
You're the most generalizing, bigoted class warrior on this site, and that's saying quite a lot.
When generalizing wildly, at least try and keep your targets straight.
No, please, hold forth in broad generalizations about how bad generalizing is when other people do it, expound!
told u there was a earthquake coming and it xdid there will be a stronger one 8.0 if keystone xl pipeline keeps going the mother is speaking out by the earthquakes ,,, like i said ,,tick tock tick tock tick tock ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
FYI: Late last Friday (03.22.12), the cesspool known as the U.S. Senate voted for a non-binding resolution in favour of the Keystone XL Pipeline by a vote of 62-37. Big oil spent nearly $31 Million bribing their political prostitutes (no disrespect intended to sex workers).
the greater energy independence it will give us had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Given the level of ignorance displayed on this thread by posters here, it would seem that more than 31 million should have been spent educating people.
I googled "30,000 jobs and Keystone pipeline" and nothing comes up.
Please provide a credible link to this "30,000 jobs and Keystone pipeline" claim you're making. Or did you make the whole thing up, as usual?
The reality:
Any jobs will go to the TransCanada Corporation in Canada. That is the company building the pipeline. The U.S. is not building the pipeline. Please inform yourself and stop spreading your bullshit newspeak. You are the most willful-ignorant troll on here, consistently. And I suppose you're proud of your ignorance. You sound like the typical USan sheeple.

By SCOTT WILSON
Glasgow Daily Times
While some coaches who lose three of their top five players from the previous year to graduation may be a little pensive about the upcoming season, Glasgow High School golf coach Mike Harris is ready to go. Gone are Dalton Fant, Thomas Kingery and Steely Harris from a 2012 squad that made it to the state tournament.
But highlighting the young Glasgow roster this year will be juniors Michael Harris, Cody Jones and freshman Chase Landrum.
"We're very young this year. We have no seniors, so we're probably going to take our lumps early in the season. I expect that," said coach Harris. "But by the end of the year, we have some kids that should be playing some very good golf.
"We start with one of the premiere players in the state in Chase Landrum. He finished in the Top 20 in the state last year and he's had a fantastic summer. He's gotten bigger and stronger and he will definitely be a player to watch."
The Scotties will open their season on Friday at the Cumberland County Invitational at Dale Hollow State Park.

NEW YORK (AP) -- After slicing up Mack The Knife, Sergio Martinez wants his piece of a middleweight belt.
In a fight dubbed "Get Your Irish Up" on St. Patrick's night, Martinez dominated Matthew Macklin in an action-packed bout and stopped him after 11 rounds Saturday. Macklin, an Englishman whose parents are Irish, was the clear favorite of the crowd at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, but Martinez was clearly the better fighter.
Although no major belts were at stake because of sanctioning issues, Martinez kept his reputation as the top middleweight in the world with a late surge. He decked the game but outmatched Macklin twice near the end of the 11th round, then Macklin's corner asked referee Eddie Cotton to stop it before the 12th round began.
"It was the right thing to stop the fight," Martinez said. "He will now have a tomorrow. He would not have had a tomorrow if they continued the fight."
Martinez now is 49-2-2 with 28 knockouts. He struggled early and even had his glove touch the canvas for a knockdown in the seventh round after Macklin connected with an overhand right.
But that was Macklin's final big punch as he fell to 28-4 and ended the fight on his stool, the blood from cuts on his face having stained his green trunks.
Now, Martinez wants one of the official championships; he had the WBC belt stripped early in 2011 without ever losing it in the ring. He targeted Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as the logical opponent.
" I want the belt. Chavez has the belt," he said. "I want a fight with the champion. I won it inside the ring, they took it, and I want to win it in the ring (again)."
He was dominant in the Garden ring for the final four rounds, looking anything but a 37-year-old fighter. Martinez was at his best as he bloodied Macklin.
The crowd of 4,671 featured a rooting section for Martinez waving Argentine flags that was dwarfed by the green-clad Macklin supporters. Macklin's fans vigorously sang the Ireland national anthem, then were invigorated by Macklin's strong early showing.
But Martinez's experience began to show in the eighth round, and the bout never was close after that.
"It was about being a mature boxer. It was winning on his mistakes," said Martinez, who like Macklin weighed 158 pounds.
"The better man won tonight. I thought it was a close fight up until the last few rounds when he pulled away," Macklin said.
Macklin was ahead on one scorecard until Martinez closed him out. Through eight rounds, though, he was ahead on all three cards.
"I lost my shape a bit," Macklin said. "I think I proved where I belong tonight and that is in the top two or three. I don't think too many could give him this tough a fight."
Martinez's left-handed stance didn't bother Macklin early, but when Martinez began connecting with lefty leads, it gave Macklin trouble. And after the quick but undamaging knockdown in the seventh, Martinez rallied with three straight sharp lefts to Macklin's face.
By the 10th round, Macklin lost all pretense of attacking. He was holding on, trying to be defensive, and Martinez pounced.
In the 11th, Martinez carved up his opponent with a succession of lefts, and both knockdowns came on mammoth lefts.
"I knew he couldn't handle that," Martinez said.
On the undercard, super middleweight Edwin Rodriguez easily outpointed Don George for a unanimous 10-round decision. Nicknamed "La Bomba" -- George is called "Da Bomb" -- Rodriguez showed off his boxing skills, particularly his jab, in outclassing the often wild George.
"I think I am showing another dimension," Rodriguez said. "I don't think I have to go out there every three minutes throwing bombs."
Rodriguez is 21-0 with 14 knockouts, while George now is 22-1.
Also, heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov scored his 14th knockout in as many pro fights, stopping Jason Pettaway in the fourth round. It was the first loss for Pettaway, whose face was a bloody mask when the referee stopped the bout.

This summer, the state and its insurers will pay nearly $12.5 million for missteps that cost two men decades of freedom.
Heres what Floyd Brown and Greg Taylor wont get from state leaders: an apology.
This summer, the state Attorney Generals office and its insurers agreed to settle two civil lawsuits against the State Bureau of Investigation for mistakes its agents made in two murder investigations in the 1990s.
Floyd Brown, an Anson County man with an IQ of 50, will receive $7.85 million for 14 years locked away in Dorothea Dix psychiatric hospital because he lacked the competency to stand trial for murder. Greg Taylor, a Wake County man exonerated in 2010 for the murder of a woman in Southeast Raleigh, will receive $4.625 million for the 17 years he spent in state prison.
In both cases, misconduct of SBI agents helped keep the two men locked away for years. The state paid a $500,000 deductible in Browns case and $100,000 in Taylors. Insurers paid the rest.
On Monday, as news of the settlements was announced, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper blamed the mistakes on outdated practices and procedures long since reformed.
Asked Tuesday whether anyone from the state would apologize to the two innocent men, Cooper issued a statement that verged on an admission of wrongdoing but fell short of an apology.
Its always wrong when innocent people are jailed for crimes they didnt commit, no matter who is at fault, Cooper said in the statement. The SBI and Crime Lab have learned from these cases and made tremendous improvements to help prevent this and promote justice.
Mike Klinkosum, a Raleigh lawyer who helped free both Brown and Taylor, said Coopers statement is as close as the two will likely get to an apology.
Maybe Ive been doing this so long, but no one will take responsibility and say, Im sorry, he said. This is as good as it gets.
The money talks
Donald Beskind, a veteran civil litigator and professor at Duke Law School, said apologies are rare in civil settlements and impossible in jury verdicts.
A jury cant make someone say they are sorry or flog anyone, Beskind said. The only thing a jury can do is make someone write a check.
Civil lawsuits, Beskind said, offer a poor tool to force reform in agencies where employees have made mistakes.
In 2009, the SBI and its insurers agreed to pay $3.9 million to Alan Gell, a former death row inmate imprisoned eight years for a murder he did not commit.
Gell said he heard nothing, let alone words of apology, from officials involved in his case.
The million-dollar settlement was the apology, Gell said. The insurance companies dont pay millions unless the states done wrong.
The only physical evidence linking Taylor to the murder of Jacquetta Thomas was a substance on his truck that the SBI agent Duane Deaver reported to be blood, despite performing more sophisticated tests that failed to confirm the substance was blood. Deaver has repeatedly said the practice was standard and widely accepted at the SBI through the 1990s.
Just sews things up
An audit commissioned by Cooper after Taylors exoneration found more than 200 cases in which agents inaccurately reported the results of blood analysis. Deaver was fired after the audit and has since appealed his termination.
Greg Taylor wasnt holding his breath for an apology from the attorney general or anyone at the SBI.
In a mediation meeting for the lawsuit this summer, Taylor got something close: An attorney for one of the companies that insured the SBI and other agencies told Taylor he was sorry for what hed been through. The simple words meant a great deal to Taylor.
For me, the settlement just sews things up, Taylor said. Im sure there are still some that still think I had something to do with the murder, and this is just one more thing to say otherwise.
Brown still grasping news
Floyd Browns 1993 murder charge rested on an elaborate six-page confession that SBI agent Mark Isley said he wrote down verbatim in first-person narrative. In 2007, Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson freed Brown and dismissed the charges against him after doctors and psychologists said his mental limitations made it impossible for him to have offered such a detailed confession.
During the civil litigation, Isley denied he did anything wrong.
On Monday night, Brown struggled to grasp the news of the outcome of his lawsuit.
Brown, 49, has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. He likes fancy cars and fast food. His guardian, Bernice Harris, did her best to explain the settlement to Brown.
I told Floyd hed never have to worry about having money in his pockets ever again, she said. He seemed to like that.

The story to becoming the math teacher and man selling Mary Kay dates back to 1996.
It was then a football-size neuroblastoma tumor was found in the abdomen of Bill Stanley's middle child, 8-year-old Josh, squishing his stomach, intestines and bladder and making him have accidents.
Shortly after, Stanley's insurance dropped him.
"I think the insurance company thought that it was going to be a hefty bill and they could get rid of me," the Powder Springs man said. "After he got sick, they got rid of me."
Then, matters got worse. Working in Atlanta for a company that collected insurance payments directly from people's houses, Stanley had accumulated about $4,000 the day before Josh's surgery.
Stanley was prepared to turn it over, but calls throughout the day to his coworker about meeting up went unanswered. So he went to be with his son at the hospital, where he finally got the returned call.
"Everyone knows what's going on, Bill. Just hold on to the money," he said his coworker told him.
But Stanley believes this was a plot to get him out of the company. He was audited a couple days after the surgery, and because the money was turned in late, he was fired for violating his contract. "I probably could have fought or got a lawyer because it was obvious what they were doing."
To support his family and sick son, he first picked up a job at Big Lots, then moved to be a manager at McDonald's, where his wife was also employed. They were both working on March 2, 2000 when his wife left to pick up Josh's medicine.
"As soon as she walked out the door, (my mom and dad) called and said you need to come home right now. … He was already dead when I got home.
Josh was in his sixth grade year at Tapp Middle when he died. He had went into remission a year before, but it soon came back. "The doctor said, 'There really wasn't a lot we can do,'" Stanley remembered. "'We'll do some treatments, but basically, he's going to die this time.'"
'I Wonder if I Can Be a Teacher?'
The death was a turning point in Stanley's life. Because of pickles on what should have been a pickle-less burger, or a cheeseburger without cheese, McDonald's customers would hurl food and drinks at him.
"I just could not do that. I just could not put up with that because I had a different perspective on life." So, he quit, without a job and without possibilities lined up.
Having some college but no degree, the job search was rough. In spite of years of experience, KFC even rejected him for a manager position because he didn't have a degree.
Stanley took any odd jobs he could get—painting, mowing, whatever. He was even excited to be selected for $25-a-day jury duty. He said God directed him to another position that he actually felt a passion for—teaching.
"This is kind of cool," he said of a job he landed substitute teaching for Cobb County schools. "I like this. I wonder if I can be a teacher?"
At 46 years old, Stanley borrowed every cent he could to climb toward his teaching degree from Kennesaw State, graduating and, after a difficult job search, landing a job at McClure Middle in Paulding County for when it opened in 2007. He started as a special education and is now a math teacher.
"I've been doing it a few years now, so I have students who'll will come see me and tell me they enjoyed math with me (and say) thank you. That means an awful lot," he said, explaining he's landed his dream job.
Making Up for the Price of Education
But getting dream jobs sometimes come at a price. Also earning his online master's degree, Stanley has racked up some hefty student loans. Furlough days and increasingly pricey health insurance haven't helped either.
"I said, 'Mathematically more has got to come in. It's not going to work,'" Stanley explained. "But as a teacher, I can't depend on being able to deliver pizzas Thursday nights. I can't go work at the grocery store every Saturday morning. My job has set hours, but it spills into the rest of my life."
For extra cash without a regular schedule, he looked into selling Tupperware or candles or vitamins or papered chef products. But a female church friend suggested a different path.
"Do I do parties? No I don't do parties," Stanley, now 54, joked about his new business of selling makeup, lotions and more through Mary Kay. "But if a lady wants a party, I get someone to do a party for them."
Of Mary Kay's sales force of 2.4 million, less than 1 percent are men, according to ABC's Austin, TX affiliate. Being the only Mary Kay man he knows, Stanley said he thought the "novelty might help me."
"I get a lot of support," he said. "No one has made fun of me. I've not been real successful yet, but I'm making enough money that I think I can pay those little bills."
Reflecting on all that has brought him to this point helps Stanley put everything in perspective. He's got a healthy wife, 22-year-old son, 26-year-old daughter, grandbaby, home in Powder Springs, jobs to pay back his student loans, and the memories of Josh.
"Some (of my McClure coworkers) who haven't done what I've done and seen the real world, they'll come in and complain about this in teaching and this in teaching," he said, "and I just sit there and smile and think, 'You have no idea how good we have it.'"

Dec. 19, 2012 —
While most Americans recoiled in shock and grief last weekend over the senseless tragedy in Newtown, Conn., public school leaders like Carter County Supt. Ronnie Dotson had to work through their own emotions to deal with the realities of safety in their districts.
"It was a horrible, horrible tragedy," Dotson said. "I can't even begin to imagine what those families are going through."
The Carter County School District has a safety plan in place. They practice monthly emergency drills, including ones for lockdown situations that could come from school shooting incidents.
Carter County is no stranger to this kind of tragedy.
East Carter High School was the scene of the first documented school shooting nearly 20 years ago. A teacher, Deanna McDavid, and a custodian, Marvin Hicks, were killed by a student, Gary Scott Pennington, who was 17 at the time.
By law, each school district must complete two fire drills within the first 30 days of school, and one every month after. Districts also conduct drills for severe weather and earthquakes.
Dotson said after Friday's shooting the district did not consider closing early for the holidays.
"Our hearts go out to those people," Dotson said. "Research shows schools are the safest place for kids to be and keeping students busy in school helps them cope better with stress."
Kentucky State Police officers visited schools within the district on Monday, walking through to check doors and make recommendations to principals and staff about possible safety concerns.
The superintendent said he believes Monday's normal attendance figure was evidence that the public has confidence in the school district's safety procedures.
Dotson said the most difficult hurdle for staff members will be questions from students.
"We sent out info to all staff members on how to deal with questions that the students may have," Dotson said. "It had a list of things that they would need to be prepared for. We didn't bring it up, but we want to address any questions they may have."
Dotson said honesty would be something all staff members would use to answer questions.
"This is a time to show the kids that they can come to us with anything and we will be truthful with them," he added.
Carter County has about 4,900 students and 700 employees who spend each school day in 11 buildings, including the two high schools, two middle schools, six elementary schools, and the career and technical center.
The school district employs two armed school resource officers (SRO), one at each high school.
Could the public's reaction to what happened in Connecticut result in armed officers in all schools?
Dotson says that although it isn't something the district is actively pursuing, that it may be a reality in the future.
At all the schools, doors stay locked, except for the entrance, which has a locked area that separates the outside world from the students.

A Waukesha man is accused of taking out a gun and threatening to shoot his wife after they argued about his demands to make him a pillowcase, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Weeks later, the man was arrested following a standoff near Comanche Lane. Authorities couldn't locate his wife at the time and police asked the public to help locate her. She was later found safe at a relative's home in Waukesha.
Kelly A. Shaw, 58, is charged with three domestic abuse-related misdemeanors: pointing a firearm at another person, and two counts of disorderly conduct with use of a dangerous weapon. He faces up to 27 months in jail and $12,000 in fines, if convicted of all three charges. He remains jailed in lieu of $2,000 bail.
Shaw was arrested Tuesday after police were told he threatened to kill his wife and would shoot at police if they responded to his home at 3001 E. View Court, according to the criminal complaint. Officers knew there were several firearms in the home, so they made many announcements for Shaw to exit the residence. After a four-hour standoff, he was taken into custody on a mental commitment.
Police searched the house and located multiple handguns, shotguns, an AK-47 rifle and gas masks, according to the complaint.
Authorities in the complaint say Shaw made homicidal and suicidal statements, including: "I wish I knew you were outside, I would be dead and, hopefully, two or three cops would be dead. I would have shot you if I knew you were outside. Put me in front of a firing line and just kill me. Just shoot me in the head. All this because of that (expletive) and I'm going to kill her."
Shaw's wife told authorities she left the residence at 10 p.m. Dec. 3 after Shaw held a gun to his head while they argued about a whirlpool they own, according to the complaint. She told police she has been afraid to call authorities because she fears he would involve officers in a shootout.
The woman told police that weeks before the standoff, Shaw brought out a gun and threatened to kill her and then himself when he was demanding she make him a pillow cover, according to the complaint. Shaw apologized for the threat the next day, she said.
Shaw's wife told officers Shaw has threatened to kill many people, including an insurance man and an eyeglass store employee. Shaw answers their door with a gun in his hands and carries a gun on him at all times, she told police.
"(The woman) is most fearful that he will go out, become very angry and come to her work and do something to her and to other employees where she works," the complaint states. "(The wife) stated the defendant has threatened to come and shoot everyone there."

These homes, occupied or abandoned, burn like highway safety flares. We showed street after street, hydrant after ice caked hydrant, not working. It did not register. We embarrassed the water department for its utter lack of regard for residents.
We even went to inspect the fire hydrants in front of City official's homes. The hydrant in front of the then fire commissioner's home carried no yellow collar, the one in front of the Manoogian Mansion when Kwame Kilpatrick was mayor was working perfectly. The hydrant in front of then water department Chief Victor Mercado's home was in perfect working order as well. It was in West Bloomfield! Yet, few seemed to care. In 2007 we again revisited the problem, found the same appalling conditions, found people trying to sue the city for allowing the problem to persist, nothing! It was as if Detroit did not care. We stopped doing the story.
So, Monday, I had the displeasure of revisiting this issue, sad to see very little has changed. Detroit's firefighters are nothing short of heroes. They are left to attack fires as if one armed wall paper hangers.
Their equipment is old, outmoded, rickety, dangerously held together with the proverbial spit and bailing wire.
From what I can tell, they are doing the impossible for a beleaguered city. The water department does not seem to carry the same heft.
It is a revenue generating department and does not seem it lacks the equipment to do the job the fire department does. This is where the system seems to break down. And still, it does not appear the city and its residents are particularly concerned.
It stands to reason that there are probably more serious, immediate threats like violent crime and joblessness grabbing everyone's attention. I can't help but think part of "public safety" includes working fire hydrants.
It's an exceptionally sad testament to how far Detroit has fallen. It is also confounding! Here is why.
The other story I covered today was the highly emotionally charged hearing about whether the State, [which runs a first class state park network] should take over the horribly run down Belle Isle and run it .
Some people were so angry, so enraged they had to be escorted from the hearing by police. I sat there and wondered why that issue literally has people up in arm when there are frozen fire hydrants for miles across town posing an infinitely more existential threat.
The how and why of frozen hydrants and that lack of concern all remain a mystery to me.
Still, the city of Detroit plods on painfully another sad day.
