Perry and his religious fanatics are no friend to education. He has failed to maintain a cap on the expenditures of the public Universities in Texas and capping the salaries of all the administrators and presidents. He has failed to direct the elected members of the Public Education Board to present properly and logical testing programs. He has allowed the public education agency to pervert science and social studies by putting religious theories into science and allowing the board to change event or delete events they deem provocative or not note worthy in equality based events. Perry is at best a third class governor. He is worse than George Bush ever was as a governor.

Hello big bad John you dumbass.

You are totaly correct sir, and it is really really hard to be worse than G.W. Bush.

It could be worse. He could be placing young children into a home with two men committing buggery and fooling everyone into believing they are parents and even having the govt pay them to do so. |

Texas isn't Kalifornia yet, but give it time. As Texas becomes more and more flooded with the liberal sewerage that's escaping from the states that turned into unsustainable liberal cesspools,bad ideas like that will follow. |
Feb 24, 2013
I sure do hope you're wrong. My wife and I have been seriously considering getting the hell out of this perverted laden state. Texas was a consideration, maybe Utah. Any state where it's own Sheriffs Association sent a letter to obumba stating they will not enforce the new gun laws and in fact would arrest any federal employee attempting to do so in Utah has won my heart. Obama is a pervert loving child corrupting A$$hole. Being a liberal is a mental illness. |
Feb 24, 2013
You might be OK in Texas for now, but an indicator that things are heading in the wrong direction is when Harris County/Houston majority of voters actually voted for Obummer. Romney may be just another rich A-hole with liberal tendencies, but was a far better choice. Oklahoma, Arizona and Utah are not LIEbral friendly and look like good places to think about. I'm seeing things happen in Texas that remind me of what the Progressive filth did to my home state of Vermont. It was a nice rural agricultural state until the Progs took it over. Now the main industry is welfare. |
Feb 24, 2013
Yup. It's a shame what's going on up here and across the board in New England that's for sure. We are considering Arizona as well. It's a shame so many are so dumb not to see the federal reserves role in all this and our special little relationship with Israel. People are stupid to not see how influential they are here in our governing process. I don't care what anyone says or thinks but we've got a jew problem. In fact it's been going on since 1913 headlong into two world wars that have never ended. I suppose it may be a bit unfair to blame them entirely but they in general are responible for the subversion and decadence of America. Especially out in Follyhood, the television, internet, gaydays@disney, ss parenting, etc. Our nation has become a cesspool and it shows. |

I wouldn't mind moving to Texas seeing there are plenty of whitetail deer down that way. Regretfully many of the deer around here are queer and the numbers are dropping off as a result.

Liberal>Conservitive two words that have become very politicly distorted. Neither is worth a damn as they are viewed now, rigid and unyielding in their point of view. Moderate would probably more accuratly describe most Americans that I know. Both parties distort the Constitution beyond belief, they twist it to suit their own agendas, as I see it your rights end when the step on mine, and mine end when they step on yours. I for one get more than a little tired of moderen politics where no one is for WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, and the fact that the STATES are NO LONGER UNITED.
Feb 25, 2013
Question please? Has anyone noticed the different material being introduced to the younger kids in the classroom? My cousin was saying something about it being because of Obummer. Im serious thou!
Feb 25, 2013
No, but then my children have been graduated for a while now. It would not surprise me though, as it has been happening for many years, my parents saw it when I was young, and I saw it when my children were young. It has happened during both Republican and Democrats administrations. GO FIGURE! Here in Texas under Rick Perry and the GOP controlled State Congress I really doubt that Obama is the reason. Let's face it Perry likes to be IN YOUR FACE OBAMA every chance he gets. Do you really believe Obama is going to get what he wants in Texas without a fight; NOT ON A BAD BET!
Feb 25, 2013
good guy
Feb 25, 2013
We can't blame everything on Obummer. The NEA is a group of commie scumbags that have been the biggest influence on the dumbing down of students for years. http://www.nea.org/ |

You might not know the name Duck Sauce but we've got a feeling you're going to pretty soon with their new single 'Barbra Streisand' looking set to go HUGE.
The video for the single has just been put online and is a non-stop, uber cool party diary including cameo appearances from the likes of Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Vampire Weekend and Roots drummer ?uestlove.
If you want to impress a hipster you can also tell them that there are guest spots from Yelawolf, Chromeo and Santigold.
Duck Sauce is the joint project between DJ's A-Trak and Armand Van Helden. The latter produced Dizzee Rascal's 'Bonkers' which might explain the slight similarity in the two tunes.

UTCS ACT Colloquia - Kunal Agrawal, Washington University in St. Louis, "Provably Good Schedulers for Parallel Computations"
Signup Schedule: http://apps.cs.utexas.edu/talkschedules/cgi/list_events.cgi
Talk Audience: UTCS Faculty, Grads, Undergrads, Other Interested Parties
Host: Vijaya Ramachandran
Talk Abstract: In recent years, parallel computing has become ubiquitous, as modern computation platforms, from smartphones to network routers and personal computers to large clusters and clouds, each contain multiple processors. On these parallel computers, scheduling decisions --- what happens when and where --- has a large impact on performance. This talk will present recent research on scheduling algorithms that provide provable guarantees on the performance of parallel programs that they schedule. In particular, the talk will cover 2 main topics: (1) Data structures are an important component in designing sequential algorithms. However, using data structures within parallel algorithms while guaranteeing speedup is challenging due to contention between concurrent operations and the resulting slowdown. Amortized data structures, in particular, are extremely difficult to use from within parallel algorithms. This talk will present BATCHER, a scheduling algorithm that allows parallel algorithms to use data structures while still guaranteeing speedup to the algorithm. (2) Streaming computations represent an important class of parallel applications. We consider the problem of scheduling streaming applications to minimize the number of cache misses incurred by the application. We show that for a large class of streaming applications, we can reduce this problem to a graph partitioning problem.

Isle of Man views sought over new GCSE system
Students, parents and teachers will be asked whether the Isle of Man should adopt a replacement for GCSEs planned for England.
From 2015, pupils in England will no longer sit GCSEs, currently studied in the Isle of Man, in the core subjects.
Education Minister Tim Crookhall said no change "will be taken lightly".
The Department of Education and Children will talk to students, parents and teachers when the consultation begins on 2 April.
'Not taken lightly'Mr Crookhall said the decision was "not one the Department will take lightly as it will impact Manx students for years to come."
He said: "We need to decide whether it is in our children's best interest to follow England's path or choose an alternative way forward."
Around the UK
The proposed GCSE changes will apply only to pupils in England.
Scotland has its own exam system, but Wales and Northern Ireland also use GCSEs.
Wales is planning a shake-up, bringing in its own new GCSEs in maths, English and Welsh, which will be taught from the autumn of 2015.
In Northern Ireland no changes to GCSEs are planned. A recent review concluded there was "no case for replacing A-levels or GCSEs in the short or medium term".
Paul Craine, who will lead the consultation, said politicians Wales and Northern Ireland had already rejected the proposed changes after holding their own consultations.
He said: "Wales and Northern Ireland will continue to offer modular GCSEs graded A* to G with coursework and tiered papers.
"Clearly, the Isle of Man does not have to follow England with this reform," he added.
The changes will see a new grading system, which Mr Craine said he believed would see fewer pupils attain the highest grades.
The department said it had already discussed the proposed changes with head teachers at the island's secondary school.
If the island chooses to follow England, current Year Seven and Year Eight students would be the first to sit the new exams in 2017.
Mr Craine added there were "still uncertainties" about the changes in England, which will be phased in over a number of years, starting with English and maths in 2015.

WASHINGTON, May 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Before your kids are out the schoolroom door and off to the pool or baseball field this summer, take a few preventive steps to help protect their hearts.
Prevention may be as simple as making sure children eat nutritious meals, exercise, stay away from cigarettes and have check-ups.
Be aware that for some children who have an inherited heart disorder known as Long QT Syndrome, research shows that typical summer activities can trigger sudden cardiac arrest. Genetic tests can identify Long QT Syndrome and help physicians manage the condition.
The most common form of Long QT is triggered by strenuous exercise, especially swimming.
The condition often causes the tragic deaths of seemingly healthy young athletes who collapse on the playing field. More than 3,500 children and young adults die each year due to sudden cardiac arrest.
Fortunately, most deaths can be prevented if Long QT Syndrome is identified early -- often through a genetic test -- and treated. The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association and the American Clinical Laboratory Association's Results for Life Educational Campaign offer the following tips.
Test for Long QT Syndrome if your child has:
A physician will test for Long QT Syndrome by doing an electrocardiogram (ECG), often followed by a genetic test.

As I unlocked and opened the door this guy ran up with phone in his hand and without breath. I stood there for a not many seconds in advance of I reached out and took the cell phone from him and I can't make no doubt of the words that came without my throat next.

My daddy eagerly demanded details of all that had happened. During the time that I was laying out the details I could feel by cell phone buzz as it received a text message. 'Fellow! u got to find out the footage!' it read. dark gangbang part 1 p 4inches of hard dick.
This guy asked if this guy could use my phone as his one of his buddies just took off with his cell in the truck they were unloading and this guy was locked without the apartment.

I was trying to take out the roll pin on the trigger guard to upgrade to the enhanced guard when the thin aluminum tab broke off in spite of me having a block under it. Can anyone recomend a "expert" I can send it to. Should it be a smith or a welder that does TIG. Before I get razzed for not being more carefull, I have built more than 6 ARs without a hitch. I appreciate any and all advice.

Well, you could JB weld it and redrill the hole, touch it up and it will still look like chit...or you could get it TIG welded, a little smith work and some refinishing, cost you a little less or the same as what a new stripped lower would go for....or get one of these SE AR-15 grips and salvage the lower, as long as the front pin is still there and there are no other hairline cracks.Stark Equipment SE-1 AR-15 Grip Personally, I would opt for new stripped lower, and start over, YMMV.

Fiore isn't the greatest narrator available (he speaks a little slowly for me), the content is really great. I already own the book; having it in audio format is both revealing (I've learned a few new things) and useful for review. I have recommended this for family members who suffer -- as I do -- from difficulty completing tasks.

IT Trends | Research
A new analysis of America's schools shows that it will cost $800 million per year to bring high-speed broadband to 99 percent of the student population, one of the goals of the Obama administration's ConnectED initiative.
The analysis, conducted by EducationSuperHighway and the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), two education technology advocacy organizations, examined the current state of networking infrastructure in schools in the United States and then estimated the costs of bringing that infrastructure up to date based on input from district chief technology officers and network equipment vendors.
The analysis found that just 43 percent of schools have the infrastructure needed to support 1-to-1 technology initiatives. And in order to build out the infrastructure needed to support the remaining 57 percent, the tab will run about $800 million per year — about $3.2 billion over the next four years (the timeframe laid out in the President's ConnectED initiative). That cost does not include maintenance costs for the 43 percent of districts that already have adequate wireless broadband.
CoSN and ESH submitted the analysis to the Federal Communications Commission, which is at present working to modernize the E-rate program, which provides funds to schools for telecommunications, computing and networking equipment and services.
According to the report: "Throughout its E-rate modernization proceeding, the FCC has placed significant emphasis on evaluating and addressing the current lack of funding for LAN and WiFi networks. Solving this issue has received nearly universal support from commenters on the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the E-rate Program (NPRM) and the more recent Public Notice by the FCC's Wireline Bureau. However, there has been little data entered into the public record on the amount of funding actually required to ensure that every school and library has the LAN, WiFi, and WAN equipment it needs."
Among other findings in the report:
"Our survey revealed an unfortunate, but very real picture, with 57 percent of districts reporting their wireless networks incapable of handling a 1:1 deployment today and 40 percent of classrooms with no WiFi at all. However, until now the education community did not have the data to measure the investment required to solve this problem. Now we do," said Keith Krueger, CEO of CoSN, in a statement released to coincide with the report. "The cost model designed by EducationSuperHighway and CoSN shows what it will take to get all our schools up to speed experiencing an enriched learning environment within the President's proposed timeframe."
"This estimate is the result of a true collaboration among the technology and education communities," said Evan Marwell, CEO of EducationSuperHighway, also in a prepared statement. "We consulted with more than 50 chief technology officers, vendors, and education experts to arrive at a consensus of what it will take to meet the President's goals and ensure all students are able to take advantage of 21st century learning opportunities."
The complete analysis is freely accessible online at educationsuperhighway.org.

Hey guys, I read the DIY Stirplate thread but I'm pretty electronicly retarted. I've got an old PC that I can steal the fan and magnets out of and a 5V cell phone charger but what else do I need besides a stir bar and a platform? Do I really need a regulator and whatever to slow it down? Thanks!
Yeah, sorry to say that regulating the speed of the fan is quite important. I have to start mine slow and increase the speed if needed. I never can run it full blast as it throws the stirbar.
If you're electronically retarded, you might want to rethink your strategy. You have to match the current sourcing of your power supply to the power requirement of your fan. And yes, you need to regulate the speed of your fan. There are several ways of doing it and some are far better than others. I prefer waveform 'chopping' over voltage regulation and would advise against voltage dropping over a resistor network. Now, I'm speaking from the point of view of an electronics guy, not a stir plate owner/designer, so there may be some design parameters that allow voltage regulation without worrying about back EMF considerations. There was a DYI thread where a fellow successfully used a voltage regulator to control and just changed the bias to regulate the speed. He had success using that method but I'm wondering if he's limiting the life span of his fan by overheating it. So, now that I've totally confused you, give me some faceplate details of your supply and your fan. I'll tell you if you can use them to do the job and you can see if it works without speed control. *edit* Bender, you posted while I was typing. Was it your DYI thread that I saw? Does your fan heat at all with the lower voltage?
Fingers, most of us use a voltage regulator circuit of some sort in our DIY stir plates. I haven't noticed any heating problems with the ones I've made. I agree that just dropping voltage via a series of resistors/pots is probably not the way to go. To further expound on the "electronic retard" theme - if you don't know what you're doing, and you don't understand schematics, please don't mess with electricity. 5-12VDC at low current draws is relatively safe, but even very low power circuits can overheat components and create smoke and flames.
Cool, I'll break into the computer when I get home and let you know what I have. I'm not opposed to a regulator or anything I'm just looking for an easy way to do it. Is there anything else I could use from the computer? Thanks guys
Yea. Once you let the smoke out, it's hard to get back in.
Ok, so I've got an 8cmX8cm comp fan that is 12V 0.15A. It's currently mounted to a heat sink that came out of the comp...looks pretty neat. Especially if I can get a piece of plexiglass tomorrow for the top peice. I've also got a Output: 12VDC 200mA power supply. I ripped into an old harddrive as well and got out the magnet. Do I need 2 of these or will 1 do? I've got another HD if I need a 2nd but it was a bit of a PITA. I hooked the power supply up to the fan and it spun fine... the reason for the speed controler is so the stir bar doesn't get thrown right? Ok, so besides the obvious: stir bar, plexiglass, flask. What else do I need? I'll check out newegg.com now...and try to get some pics of this hole thing when its done. Any more info is apprechiated. Thanks guys

Oh, I know all about tax law on the internet. And technically, it's NOT tax free. You as the consumer are still supposed to report it. But nobody does. Amazon is one of my best friends. It's a shame Newegg has a warehouse in TN, though.
No need to search for HobbyZone Champ on Bing. Just search for "Wii" ... it almost always brings up the cashback banner. Better hurry if you want Bing cashback - the program ends on July 30th! I've gotten back over $1,300 with Bing in the past two years since they started the program. Stack it with Mr. Rebates for another 3% cashback, and eBay Bonus Bucks for ANOTHER 2% back. Only problem is that I have $150 in gift certificates to my local hobby shop. So even if it's a few bucks more, it's still less money out of MY pocket. But it's hard for me to pay retail with a gift card when I know I could get it cheaper somewhere else. Spend less "real" money or more "free" money ... always a conundrum! Yeah, I'm Mr. Bargain shopper. I can't remember the last time I paid retail for ... well, anything. lol. |
Jun 12, 2010, 09:21 PM | |
I picked mine up from HobbyTown USA on Thursday. They were having a sale of $20 off $100 and I had a buch of gift cards there, so I walked out with my Champ, some mSR blades, and an mSR flybar for $92 out the door. If sales tax here wasn't stinkin 9.75%, it would have been even sweeter, but still, I'm happy. Worked out to about $77 for the Champ. $82 on eBay would've gotten it plus an extra 120mah Tenergy battery (or with 6 extra batteries from one seller, but he didn't mention the brand or size, so I decided to pass on that), so I felt like that was a pretty decent local price. I hate to run them down so low on profit, but my pockets aren't exactly lined these days.
I put a couple of Hyperion 160mah 1S 25C lipos on my Father's Day list, so hopefully I'll be all set for non-stop flying here soon. I maidened it off the street tonight. Got a local mockingbird pretty worked up and letting me know who's boss around here, but other that, it was great. Neighbors got a kick out of it, and my little girl just stared and pointed whenever it came near. WAY more fun than my old Citabria. I loved that little plane and it was fun to fly in tight slow circles around me at waist level, but the Champ was definitely more fun to actually go up with it. Didn't try slowing it down enough to do the slow little 8' circles around me like with the Citabria, but I'm sure it can slow down enough for it. Had these gift cards sitting unused since Christmas 2008 just waiting for the right thing to come along, and I feel like they were well spent. Although when hell freezes over and E-Flite finally announces their new Platinum warbird, I'm gonna be out of luck now. Oh well. |
Jun 13, 2010, 12:32 PM | |
Yeh, I've been flying the Champ nightly.. Touch and goes on the street in front on the house are a blast.. We were flying the the other night at the airport but pops threw a wheel, so we quit.
I'm thinking about picking up a 4Site and maybe the Mustang if they are as much fun as the Champ. |
Jun 13, 2010, 02:20 PM | |
I wish the Champ had a little more prop clearance. It's hard to get a nice wheel landing without knicking the prop on the driveway.
One thing to watch out for (and something I will mention in my review) is that the elevator pushrod on mine seems to bind sometimes. It sticks where it exits the fuse right in front of the tail. Add that to your pre-flight checklist..."Flight controls. Free and correct!" |
Jun 13, 2010, 09:34 PM | |
Only had a prop strike once on landing so far, but yeah, you gotta grease it just about perfect. I was having fun just tossing it over into our neighbor's yard without power and practicing flares into the grass. One thing I forgot to check afterwards was the gear, though. I tossed it up and flew it after a few into-the-grass glides, and I didn't think to check to make sure the gear hadn't pulled out at all. When it landed, it was all cattywhompus. I thought about putting a little dab of glue to hold it in place better, but I think I'd rather it be able to pull out than have to worry about bending it back if it gets pulled on too hard.
Thanks for the tip on the elevator ... I'll make sure to check it each time. Had a lot of fun flying it today. If you pull up and roll hard, it actually does a pretty decent lazy rudder roll. Lots of fun doing circuits around the lightpole and hammerheads up and down the street. I really do think this will be a good plane to get my wife back into flying. Way easier to keep flying than the EasyStar, which always seemed to get going too fast for her comfort, and it does NOT want to come down. As soon as you let off the sticks, it seems to level out within just a couple of seconds on it's own. Really glad you let me have a go at it during your fly-in, Andy. I never would have thought enough of it to buy one if I hadn't gotten to try it first hand. |

"Loved this invitation for my daughter's baby shower. She is having a baby boy, and this card was a great choice for design and price. Loved the font and color combinations Tiny Prints used!"
"Cute invitation for a boy baby shower, no specific theme. Love the color and size! The invitation was just perfect for what I was hosting and enjoyed by all who received."
"I loved everything about this invitation, from the design to the beautiful quality of the card and envelope. My daughter (who's shower it was for) was extremely happy when she saw it."
"All of our guests loved these invitations! The umbrella design is lovely and sweet, but contemporary enough to not be old fashioned. I also chose it for it's vertical style. It is larger than the other cards and the turquoise background is perfect. The paper is a very nice quality too!"
"This is the first time I've dealt with this company. I am completely satisfied with the quality and service. It's not every online company that rates 5 stars but this one does. These invitations are just perfect for my daughter's baby shower for my new grandson-to-be."

The girl I'm in love with is at home now, in her quaint two-story Wisconsin house on the fringe of the metropolis. She's probably lying in her bed reading King Lear, trying to catch up to me in the Shakespearian tragedies, a little distracted by the memories of her time spent here with me for the past 6 days.
I picked her up this past Tuesday at the Greyhound bus depot. I don't exactly know what happened to me when I saw her walking through the grimy depot doors with her blue duffle bag. Everything, the entire first year of college with its concentrated euphoria of first love, fell on me when I saw her again. After all those never-ending days of wondering where she was or what she was doing in her home town merely withered away and I smiled uncontrollably as she caught my eye coming in. She looked skinnier, frail even, but one of Earth's most beautiful creatures. I didn't hug her; there were conservative people everywhere, we didn't trust ourselves in public, and we wouldn't have known how to surmount the awkward foreignness of touch even if there weren't. It took quite a bit of alone time for us to recover our previous state of togetherness. We sat on opposite ends of the couch, chattering, laughing, stealing glances at each other because our eyes were hungry after all that absence (in reality it had only been a few weeks since we had seen each other, but it felt more like a year). Finally, I was going to show her my new guitar in the basement, and when she stood at the top of the stairs pretending to have forgotten how to descend them, I put my arms around her waist and leaned into her, feeling electrified, thanking God silently for letting her make the journey to me and my little spacious city.
The week of her stay was pleasant but slightly stressful for both of us. We obtained little sleep because we couldn't bring ourselves to separate for the night, knowing that our time together was limited. I brought her to see the Milky Way in the country and we kissed each other sweetly and persistently under them until it got too cold and the little points of light were sunken in thick gray clouds. As we drove back to my place, I looked over to her as she yawned and talked cheerfully in my passenger seat and I let myself notice her charming cuteness, how she is slightly taller than I am, and how she has kind, complex eyes that don't seem to ever tire of resting gently upon me, my faults, all my modest abilities. I have to wonder if I deserve her indomitable trust, her intelligent presence, the sweetness of her body pressed to mine as she leans into me, the beautiful foreign words that swim over me as she pours them into our conversations (her vocabulary trumps mine by more than a little), the tingling pleasure of her lips on the tender part of my neck, and the inevitable tide of love that swells in me when she's laughing, or failing, or bored, or sick, or unsure. In every state, I want her with me; in every town, she would be enough to reach in and conjure contentment in me. I would love her if we were two girls in Catholic school, or two veiled women in the Middle East, or if we lived a thosand years ago. Environment has nothing on this burning, courageous love we give to each other every time our eyes meet. How did a mild friendship come to this?
I haven't told her that I love her. It is an unspoken truth between us that we are madly in love with each other, and to vocalize it would be hasty and unwise, like sticking pins in the wings of a newly discovered species of butterfly so as to scrutinize and label it to an untimely death. Maybe it is not so dramatic; maybe we are inexperienced in the true nature of love and don't know how to tell the other how serious this emotion is that sticks to us. There is no question that we love each other. Now that half the United States stretches out between us again, my love for her has never been so invasive and persistent. It is continuously in my face as I try to forget and mow the lawn or visit with my two-dimensional friends. It is a yearning that we both confess to and must suffer individually until we are able to hold each other again. Until then, I can do nothing but stare out the window, write my little poems, and try desperately to keep this raging love in my chest quiet.
It's good to hear from you again and especially fabulous to read that you're happy and in love. Congratulations...if that's the appropriate word for it.
I'm not going to say anything that was said above again, so let me say this: that was...amazing. Very good writing, and, well... beautiful.
"A friend is someone who bails you out of jail; a best friend is someone who stands in the cell next to you and says 'that was freakin' awesome'"
-Dr. Jamie Morris
I would tell you how much I love your writing, but I think you already know. So I'll just soak it all in.
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless; there is too much work to do.--Dorothy Day

1: Defense played tuff and only gave up 17 points. Unfortunately no turnovers and two big plays for touchdowns from the Denver passing game. In my opinion those touchdowns were just great play calling and exceptional execution on Denver's part. Penalties also hurt the defense again. 2: Reche Caldwell can get open occassionally. Doug Gabriel will be a good addition when and if he's healthy and up to speed. Thats all I could find.
One of the Denver TD's was a result of bad coverage and angle taken by Sanders. We did generate 1 fumble, the wilson hit on their DB on the lass up the middle, the ref blew the call. The lack of TO's by the D is a big concern though.
One positive is that the game should serve as a massive wake up call. It's hard to believe anyone was feeling particularly complacent after nearly blowing a 24 point lead in NY, but even so the lack of fire was unacceptable. Pride alone should account for improvement in Cincy. I think Doug Gabriel will work out just fine - even if he isn't the second coming of his buddy and cheerleader Jerry Rice - and we should see him in from the start.
Yes, there were positives. It was a tough low scoring game and they made the big plays and we didn't. Except for the Sanders miscue, I thought the defense was good enough to win. The offense suffered from some really good Denver defense. Maybe we should have gone to the passing game earlier but the score was stilll close at 10-0, no need to panic. I don't think we give Denver enough credit for this win. The TD pass over Hobbs was a perfect throw and catch with good coverage. Jake was picking the right guy each time. Even on the Sanders miss play, Jake made a great throw under pressure from Seymour. It's too early to panic. We want to be good the last two months not the first two. Yes, Brady needs to throw better, but we know he can. The receivers are looking better, we just need less whining about them. Let's see how the running game and secondary work against Cincy. It won't take a miracle as some suggest to beat them, just some good Patriot football. Thanks for the positive approach.
Yep, those are the only things I can think of too. Well I guess you could add Josh Miller had a good game. As for the negatives... 1. We lost at home 2. We are 2-1 3. It took us until the 4th qtr to score I could go on. There's really no point however... the Denver game is over, let's move on.
Scoring was a positive. I knew the game was over at 10-0 the way we were playing. I just didn't want to get shut out at home because I teased a coworker who is a Steelers fan for getting shut out by the Jags on the road. Man, I would have never heard the end of it.

The law enforcement vehicle carrying former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and Bobby Fergusen exits the US Federal Courthouse out of the Washington Street exit in downtown Detroit on Monday March 11, 2013 after the jury handed down a verdict in his public corruption trial. / Ryan Garza / Detroit Free Press
Detroit city officials, state lawmakers, regional officials, business leaders and others expressed a range of emotions this morning to the guilty verdicts in the Kwame Kilpatrick public corruption trial, with most saying theyÆre glad the saga is over.
Many also said it was an unfortunate end to what was once a promising political future for the former mayor, who now faces a potentially lengthy prison sentence.
HereÆs a look at some reaction.
• Mayor Dave Bing, who ran for office vowing to clean up City Hall: ōI am pleased that this long trial has ended and we can finally put this negative chapter in DetroitÆs history. It is time for all of us to move forward with a renewed commitment to transparency and high ethical standards in our city government.ö
• Related: Kwame Kilpatrick ran racket as Detroit mayor with extortion, bribery, kickbacks, jury decides
• Stephen Henderson: Time to take stock, move on from Kilpatrick saga
• Gov. Rick Snyder: "This is an unfortunate chapter in the cityÆs history that is now closed. ItÆs time to turn the page. The law enforcement and legal systems have done their jobs. We all need to focus on working together and helping move Detroit forward and being strong and successful again."
• Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette: ōPublic integrity is essential in the new Michigan. Congratulations to the FBI & the U.S. Attorney's office for a job well done.ö
• Councilman Ken Cockrel Jr., who served as mayor after KilpatrickÆs removal from office: ōWith these verdicts, perhaps now the city can turn the final page on that chapter and get some closure. It is too bad ultimately, though, because he was someone who clearly had a tremendous amount of potential. Had he stayed on the straight and narrow, the sky truly would have been the limit for him. At the end of the day, his baser impulses clearly got the best of him.ö
• Council President Pro-Tem Gary Brown, a one-time mayoral body guard, whose whistleblower lawsuit led to the Free PressÆ blockbuster revelations of KilpatrickÆs misdeeds: ōA culture of corruption existed in Detroit for far too long. Eyes from around the world have been on this city, detracting from the progress we are making. It's time for Detroit ¢ for all Detroiters ¢ to close the era of wrong-doing, corruption and lack of integrity within our city. These issues brought about in the case are now in the past. The young people in our city have watched this case and have been shown that values, integrity and character do count ¢ they are all worth fighting for.ö
• Editorial: Business as usual in Detroit? Kwame Kilpatrick jury says 'no more'
• Nancy Kaffer: Kwame Kilpatrick's incalculable toll on Detroit's government
• Related: Kilpatrick trial: Full list of criminal charges and jury's verdicts
• City Councilwoman Saunteel Jenkins, a Kilpatrick classmate at DetroitÆs Cass Tech High School who worked part-time as his campaign treasurer when he was a state representative on the rise: ōHe was smart and charismatic, but I was not one who supported him when he ran for mayor because I didnÆt think he was ready for it. I think it was a tragic waste of talent, but I donÆt think anybody had any idea things would turn out the way they did.ö
• State Sen. Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe: "It certainly is not a proud day for Michigan, but I am glad the people had a chance to weigh in on the crimes committed against Detroiters via the judicial process. Now it's time for Detroit to move on and leave this in the past."
• State Rep. Harvey Santana, D-Detroit: ōYou canÆt allow yourself in this business to get captivated and seduced by all of the trappings (of office), and thatÆs what happened to him. WeÆve got to work two, three, four times as hard to overcome that negative.ö
• State Rep. Jimmy Womack, D-Detroit: ōI support the judicial system, even though it does have flaws and it doesnÆt always get it right. My daddy always told me you pay the cost for being the boss and if youÆve done the crime you need to do the time. I respected Kwame. I think he was a very bright and charismatic person. I think itÆs an unfortunate set of circumstances.ö
• State Rep. Rose Mary Robinson, D-Detroit, an attorney and former Wayne County commissioner who knows the Kilpatrick family well: ōWeÆre very resilient,ö but ōthere is a direct correlation in my mind between the corruption and the financial disaster weÆre in. When you have corruption, itÆs like a cancer.ö The mayor and his close allies were looking out for themselves, not ōthe good of the people.ö
• State Rep. David Nathan, D-Detroit: ōHaving the trial be over with and behind us I think will really benefit the city. ōIt takes us out of the spotlight of the world, if you would, as the city that has a mayor on trial for ģ corruption.ö
• Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel: ōYou have a very prominent public official. This guy had a tremendous opportunity ahead of him. He was a very unique brand and he tarnished that brand with what he did. We can finally move on now. ThatÆs a very good thing for the city of Detroit.ö
• Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, who faces a federal grand jury probe of his administration for corruption: ōTodayÆs decision closes a long and painful time for the citizens of Detroit. The city has so many challenges and my hope is that todayÆs verdicts will make it crystal clear that this type of activity will not be tolerated. The city can now begin to move forward without this specter overshadowing all of the efforts to remake the city.ö
• Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, who is considering a run for Detroit mayor: "Recognizing the mix of emotions regarding todayÆs verdicts, it is a very sad day in our cityÆs history. However, elected officials are public servants who must be held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability. Now that due process has been granted, we must place this unfortunate saga in our rearview mirror and look ahead toward transforming the city of Detroit for future generations. "
• Mayer Morganroth, an attorney for Kilpatrick's ex-mistress and chief of staff Christine Beatty, said he was not surprised at the verdict, given the evidence: ōYouÆre always unhappy about seeing people get hurt, but ģthe jury has spoken.ö An appeal is likely but ōitÆs a very uphill battle.ö
• Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat who was governor while Kilpatrick was mayor, would have no comment on the Kilpatrick verdict, spokeswoman Liz Boyd said last week.
• Detroit Regional Chamber president and CEO Sandy Baruah: ōI think anything that provides clarity and stability for our city and our region is helpful.ö
• Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau president and CEO Larry Alexander: ōToday marks the end of a sad chapter in DetroitÆs history that often served as a distraction from all the positive change taking place. LetÆs move on from here and put this city on the mapŚnot for the past, but for the rapid transformation underway thatÆs making Detroit a great city in which to live, work and invest. ItÆs a new day.ö
• Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Chutkow: ōWe respect their verdict. We just pursued the case. It wasnÆt about the victory.ö
The FBI would have no comment until after the detention hearing at 2 p.m., spokesman Simon Shaykhet said.
In the overflow room, where about 70 people watched close-circuit television, the mood was jovial as spectators joked with courthouse staffers.
As the first count of guilty was read, several people said ōyes.ö Frustration grew as the not guilty verdicts were read against his father Bernard Kilpatrick. When Bernard KilpatrickÆs guilty verdict on the tax charge was read, someone shouted ōfinally.ö
When Judge Nancy Edmunds said she trusted the defendantsÆ lawyers to return them to court for a detention hearing this afternoon, the overflow room snickered.

Been down with both this evening and winds were very calm so a good test to compare.
The st one is without doubt a much better flyer, it flies better because it is MUCH lighter for only 30cm less wingspan, not sure what the weight of fms one is but st is 550grams or less depends on battery all up. My mate is quite dissapointed with his fms one and is thinking of selling it already after 6 flights total, it needs to fly fast and though has plenty of power to climb fast it just comes down too quick due to its weight. It could be that it needs more trimming out and cog changing some more but for my money I would go for the st models asw28, I have had mine for about 3 years and still really like it, it's cheaper it only uses 2 cell 1000mah lipos and flights are 20mins upwards( i've had 1hour and 10 mins once in good thermaling) and it does thermal very well, its also aerobatic does good loops, rolls are posible but are very slow so you need lots of height/speed and good use of controls to perform a nice one. |

I've not tweeked mine at all yet cause I was doing the duration contest unmodded but that seems to have pretty much finished now so I might play about a bit, I was thinking of moving aileron servos out into to wing and maybe making some balsa airlerons but I might try just glassing them 1st to see how that goes.
As I said I like my blaster more now as that is amazing how well it floats but at £280 plus servos etc it a diferent thing altogether, plus when my back is bad and I cant throw it the asw28 is a great fallback, and VERY relaxing on a nice calm day, I often end up laying down flying the thing lol. |

AP News
Fred's 2Q profit rises but misses Street's view
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Discount store operator Fred's says its net income rose 19 percent in the second quarter, helped by an income tax settlement as revenue improved. But the company's earnings fell short of Wall Street's expectations and it cut the low end of its full-year earnings forecast.
Fred's also cautioned that economic conditions will continue to pressure its performance and competition will likely heat up in the third and fourth quarters.
Its stock fell $1.43, or 9.4 percent, to $13.76 in morning trading on Thursday. Over the past year, the stock has traded between $10.27 and $15.98.
For the period ended July 28, the company earned $6.1 million, or 17 cents per share. That compares with $5.1 million, or 13 cents per share, a year earlier.
Analysts predicted earnings of 18 cents per share, according to a FactSet survey.
The current quarter included a state income tax settlement that added about 11 cents per share. This was partially offset by one-time adjustments tied to 14 store closings and additional promotional markdowns.
Revenue increased 4 percent to $470.8 million from $452.7 million, topping Wall Street's $470.3 million.
Revenue at stores open at least a year dipped 1 percent. This metric is a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
Fred's Inc. now anticipates 2012 earnings between 97 cents and $1.04 per share. Its prior guidance was for earnings in a range of 98 cents to $1.04 per share.
Analysts expect full-year earnings of $1.02 per share.
For the third quarter, the company foresees earnings between 22 cents and 26 cents per share. It expects revenue to rise 2 percent to 4 percent. This implies $453.2 million to $462 million, based on 2011's third-quarter revenue of $444.4 million. Revenue at stores open at least a year is projected to be down 1 percent to 3 percent.
Wall Street forecasts earnings of 26 cents per share on revenue of $458.8 million.
Fred's currently runs 698 discount general merchandise stores, including 21 franchised Fred's stores, in the southeastern U.S.

10 Cheapest Bank Stocks for 2013
9. Oriental Financial Group
Shares of Oriental Financial Group (OFG) of San Juan, Puerto Rico, closed at $13.15 Friday, returning 11% year-to-date, after pulling back 1% during 2011.
The shares trade for 0.9 times tangible book value, and for 8.9 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $1.48. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $1.75.
Based on a quarterly payout of six cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 1.83%.
Oriental Financial had $6.1 billion in total assets as of Sept. 30, having greatly expanded its share of the Puerto Rico market through its purchase of the failed Eurobank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in April 2010.
The company on Dec. 18 completed its acquisition of the Puerto Rico operations of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, SA (BBVA) for $500 million in cash, bringing on roughly $5 billion in additional assets, as well as $3.7 billion in loans. After the BBVA deal was approved, KBW analyst Derek Hewitt on Dec. 10 said in a report that his firm was "excited about this accretive transaction which will allow OFG to fully deploy its excess capital, become one of the leading commercial banks on the island, and should generate a more stable revenue stream from higher multiple commercial banking activities." With loans making up just 26% of Oriental's total assets as of Sept. 30, Hewitt said that the BBVA deal would "transform OFG's earning asset mix from that of an agency-REIT to a commercial bank." The analyst rates Oriental Financial Group "Outperform," with a $15 price target, and wrote that "investors have not fully incorporated the expected earnings accretion from this deal; therefore, the shares remain attractively priced" at just over roughly at Hewitt's pro forma Dec. 31 tangible book value estimate of $12.79.

If these games are your cup of tea, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader: Make the Grade is a good choice for families with children of different ages, because everyone can play in the multi-player modes. This is nice for families looking for PC games that can teach and entertain at the same time.
On the most fundamental level, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Make the Grade works. Yes, you can re-create the TV show on your computer, but the real question is why on Earth you would want to.
The only redeeming quality I could point out regarding Make the Grade is that it, at the very least, functions properly and doesn't seem to crash. That's about it.

Well, I am not a person who wears shoes dependent on brand but I will admit that lately I have been wearing Vans. I do not skate at all, nor do I want to. I actually wear the ones that look like slippers, if you know what I am talking about. They are comfortable. Plus they have no laces to worry about.
Also they tend to match just about anything.

Maybe it's because I am female, maybe because I have a medical background but I was profoundly dissapointed with this book. The characters are predictable and cardboard, especially the female lead. Once again we are treated to a woman with a supposed higher intellect (a PhD)who has no common sense, and who behaves throughout most of the book like a bimbo. Sound familiar? Remember the character Laura Dern played in Jurassic Park?..ditto.
The medical scenerio was difficult to swallow, in that it was poorly contrived and not too well written. The former "Dr" Cook needs to stay away from this area as he has been out of the profession since the 1970's and it shows. The ending was laughable!
Don't waste your money here! There are many other writers in mystery and thrillers who are far better than this...
"Dirk Pitt strikes again!"
At this point Dirk Pitt, the main character of Cussler's books, is getting a little long in the tooth but it is fun to fall into his world of adventure and suspend belief for an afternoon.
Is there an Atlantis? Only Dirk could find it, probably by diving all by himself and holding his breath the whole time! He reminds me of the guys from the old movies whose hats never fell off while fighting. Hey but who cares? The story is fun, regular characters in full force and once again the world is safe!
"Getting weary"
Having read all of the Alex Cross books to date, it seems as if even the main character, Alex, is getting weary of the repetativeness of the plots.
Once again, this is part two of a serialized story, big bad guys involved, some romance but predicatable (Alex can never settle down and besides all his girlfriends get either kidnapped or killed). The main story was a bit unbelievable concerning a megalomaniac who wants total global destruction for reasons that are never fully explained.
The narrator was good but that does not overcome the story.
"A fine story, great mystery."
Well, if you are looking for something fast paced with everything tied up neatly at the end, this may not be for you. BUT if you are the type of reader who savors a good book like the ultimate good meal well here it is! i.e. this is more like a European dinner vs American fast food.
The main character is not Edgar Allen Poe, but his school teacher and to keep you in the mind of the character, is written in first person. We are introduced to him just as he believes he will be poor for the rest of his life, but then comes into a small inheritance. As he enters the life of a school teacher he meets a mysterious women who captivates him..problem though, she's married and stations above him. Well..that all changes when her husband is found murdered and the finger points towards our protagonist!
Extremely well written and a great story with character development.
"Great read, one of Grisham's best!"
I have read all of John Grisham's books and a only a few have been disappointing..well this is not one of them. The main character is extremely well written and one wonders if Grisham based it on someone he knew. The setting is Italy with all the color and flavor one can imagine.
We follow the main character as he tries not only to outwit the CIA but also to stay alive when all parties concerned wish him dead. Like the character in "The Street Lawyer" this guy is out on a limb and everyone he meets has a saw in their hands!
Very fast paced and entertaining.
"PG Wodehouse at his best!"
This is one of the best of Bertie and Jeeves! All the regular nuts are present and waiting to become a bit more cracked..Gussie, Madeline and the gang get all mixed up with who is marrying who. As usual Jeeves is in the background making sure Bertie stays single while fixing all the rest.
I listen to the Jeeves series while gardening and at times I laughed out loud..I am sure the neighbors think I'm nuts too!
This is a great listen for those long airline rides as long as you don't mind people staring at you when you burst out laughing.
"The Code of the Woosters"
If you like Bertie and Jeeves, this is one of the best! As I listened to the book, I kept chuckling and laughing to the point where people wondered what I was doing! Bertie gets himself tangled up in two or three different twists, all of which center around an antique cow creamer that most of his relatives and aquaintences seem to covet. As usual, Jeeves comes to his rescue just as things are hopeless..
