The All Blacks breezed through the Rugby Championship and won the tournament with a game to spare. Good job fellas. Choice display. Not the kind of team to rest on their laurels or ease off on the ol' pedal they then mustered cray cray depths of reserve strength and stamina by flying from Argentina to Joburg to come from behind and eventually smash the Boks in their own backyard (90,000 seater stadium) in Nasrec Soweto. Thanks! Way to rub it in. We get it, you guys are really really good. It seems fairly obvious that the NZRU central contracting system has got to be the way forward for SA and is one of the reasons for the All Blacks' success and distinct advantage in constantly fielding their strongest side for the duration of the Rugby Championship. The way they manage their players is something SARU should take note of and apply to SA rugby post-haste! Until our top 150 players in this country are all contracted to SARU first and then their respective provinces, we are going to continue having our best players out injured or badly fatigued due to over play. Sort your shitake out SARU, gosh! Enough of [&hellip
Well done and hearty congratulations to the All Blacks for putting in their best display this year to demolish the Pumas in Argentina and clinch the new Rugby Championship trophy. It was a ruthless display of running rugby set up by a powerful forward effort and coach Hansen will be stoked that they finally managed to finish off the opportunities they created. Bok coach Heyneke Meyer will be smiling this week as the Springboks finally got back to winning ways with an improved 80 min performance against a dick punched in the face with injuries, Wallaby side. The showing from the home side was indeed better but it must be said that the Wallabies are really struggling with injuries and Robbie Deans will be a worried man ahead of their last game this weekend. Will he still have a job if they lose in Argentina? Tricky times ahead for the beleaguered coach and no mistake. Only two more games left of the Rugby Championships and the Pumas have definitely added some much-needed seasoning to what was becoming a rather bland tournament. Can they get their first win on Sat? I certainly hope so. Let's have a look-see and as the [&hellip

Funding for Human Services
Since 1986, the City has devoted general fund dollars to support human service organizations. Funding levels are appropriated on a per capita basis. As a policy matter, the Council may adjust the annual per capita budget allocation for human services as it deems appropriate; once again demonstrating Kirkland's commitment to support the growing needs of its residents.
Kirkland's Role in Human Services

Be forewarned that this 15-year-old will make you feel unaccomlished and unimpressive.
Christian Stewart, a freshman at Harvard-Westlake school in Studio City, Calif., wrote a computer program for a lightweight foam drone, which is operated by an iPhone remote and able to shoot video from hundreds of feet in the air, the Los Angeles Times reports. It took $500 to make the foam glider, which Stewart estimates is $24,500 less than comprable models.
However, the cost-effective plane recently had a close call, as Stewart explains in the NBC video above. He was out giving the "Low-Cost Autonomous Civilian Unmanned Aerial System" a test flight when a "perfect turn" led the plane to land "gracefully in the leaves of a 60-foot palm tree."
When tree trimmers turned down Stewart's father's request for help, his mother called the fire department. Stewart said that he was shocked that they came. First, the firefighters attempted to reach the drone with a long ladder (depicted above) but it wasn't long enough.
"I said, 'Oh well, don't worry about it. This is taking too much of your time.' But they stopped listening to me and kind of refused to have me say no," Stewart explained.
Ultimately, after three attempts with different water nozzles, the firefighters blasted the drone out of the tree. "It was really incredible. It flew over a pool and a house and landed on the street," Stewart said.
Thanks to the firefighters, Stewart will take his drone to the California State Science Fair April 30-May 1 at the California State Science Fair.
In the following video, Stewart explains what an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is and how he made one that was so much cheaper than comparable drones currently in use. In his interview with NBC, Stewart said he made the drone for environmental purposes, although he admits that it could also be used for spying purposes.
Stewart sold his "quadricopter drone" to a toy company that now produces it, and he recently won first place in the LA County Science Fair's engineering category for his computer-operated drone, the LA Weekly reports.

This is a delicious traditional pound cake recipe which makes 2 cakes when baked in loaf pans (recipe doesn't really specifiy what kind of pan - one assumes a loaf pan since it is a "loaf" cake" - yes?). Wonderful cake (even with butter substituted for the Crisco), but keep in mind, it is a recipe for TWO CAKES when done in loaf pans (loaves) which is not mentioned in the recipe. Half recipe for one loaf - which is what I do.
I was in a hurry to make a cake for a gathering and this cake was perfect. Tasty, quick and easy to prepare. I will be making this cake often for my friends and family. It is also great doctored up with decorations.
I love this recipe. You can veriate it so much. The last time i did it i add white chocolate.

About Email Searches
Privacy statement
Email Lookup : Find Email Address Fast
Searching for people can be a chore extremely time consuming. Have you tried to find an old friend, lost relative or someone that you met briefly but now would like to reconnect? There are many ways to conduct a person search. One of the easiest ways is an email lookup tool. Let's say the last time you connected with your friend was by email and the only contact details you have is the email address. This would limit your options to an email search.
Find An Email Address
With so many problems of telemarketers using online directories, most people prefer to have their number or email not listed. This is where companies may collect different information to build databases and maintain information. It can often limit your ability to locate someone to use these online tools. Usually this situation occurs at a time of high importance, you need to urgently find someone to give them news. Good or bad, it may be a friend's death or an old friend that is getting married. You may even want to connect with an old lover to see if they are still single. Either way email lookups are a great tool or the results are usually instant.
One other online
email lookup tool
is to see who is sending you unwanted emails. Although nothing is for sure, it can be great starting point to see who is behind the annoying emails that never end.
Locating a friend in time of need is always important to help with relaying your distress. If only one person can relate to your situation, this is usually the person you need to find. Searching for this person in an urgent time can be extremely stressful. Calling one friend and waiting on them to return your call to then wait for another person to return the call becomes a long cycle of waiting. It never seems to end, so one way is to use online email database to assist in search for this person. Email searches are often your best choice for a time sensitive manner.
Locating an old lost person and finding the right person name is extremely time consuming especially if they have a common name such as John Smith. This name is so common it may take a few years to find out correct contact details. That's the great concept of emails; each one is unique and has its own address. One of a kind. It can also create a tracking system for unwanted visitors.
Since emails are relatively new, there is no 100 year history or email address. As you can image an ancestry search could take months to complete with billions of public records. Since emails are relatively new, it is not as hard to use email lookups.
Many online
email lookup tools
are available and at your disposal, searching emails can now be done easily to locate the lost relative, old acquaintance or roommate.

James Foad named in Britain's men's eight boat for world cup event
10:45am Friday 18th May 2012 in General Sport
SOUTHAMPTON rower James Foad has been named in Great Britain's men's eight crew for the second world cup of the 2012 season.
Itchen Imperial member Foad will compete in Lucerne, Switzerland, next week as he continues his preparations for the Olympic Games.
He is joined in the boat by Alton's Alex Partridge, as the GB team look to improve on their second-placed finish in the opening world cup of the year.
"We are still working on fine-tuning the team as the London Games approaches," said GB Rowing team performance director David Tanner.
"The benefit of consistent and significant investment by the National Lottery in our team over the past four years has given us a tremendous strength across the disciplines and gives us several options to consider."
The Lucerne world cup starts on Friday, May 25, and runs until Sunday, May 27.

Stuart Nye Silver at ArtWalk
This week, ArtWalk will be featuring the handmade silver jewelry of the Stuart Nye Studio. This line of jewelry, which was started by Nye himself in 1933, is most often recognized by its signature dogwood motif.
In the middle of the Great Depression, with very little material to work with, and no previous experience, Nye began experimenting in a small attic. He began with bracelets and eventually found the iconic floral motifs that have constituted the collection to this day.
Now Nye's work is carried on by a studio located in Ashville, just west of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Though the jewelry is still all hand-wrought, this studio has expanded Nye's original designs to more than 1,500 individual pieces.
Originally, all of Nye's work was done in sterling silver, and while many of the more popular pieces are still sterling, copper and brass have also been included in the collection through history, due to the World War II metal shortages and high silver prices of 1979-80.
The artists of the studio train on the spot, use production methods unique to Nye's tradition, and use homemade tools, lending a fresh simplicity and originality to the jewelry.
Simple production methods and design, mixed with hand worked silver, helps keep the pieces at a decent price and allows anyone to own a work of art regardless of budget.
ArtWalk offers a wide range of the studio's collection, including the famous dogwood pieces.
Lilies, leafs and hoops are also available, as well as teardrop and square tabs and spiraling strips. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings can be found primarily in silver, but also in brass or copper combined with silver.
Stuart Nye's jewelry is located on ArtWalk's main level. With three and a half floors and more than 300 local, regional and national artists, ArtWalk is located at 611 W. King St. (across from Mast General Store) in downtown Boone. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m. For more information, call (828) 264-9998, email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or visit http://www.artwalkboone.com.

A head-on collision in Tustin late Thursday night left two people dead, including a Rancho Santa Margarita woman.
She and a Corona man were the solo occupants of their respective Toyota Scions on Jamboree Road south of Edinger Avenue about 10:45 p.m., according to Tustin Police Sgt. Jeff Taylor.
Dead were Kaelyn Fergeson, 25, of Rancho Santa Margarita, and Kenneth Olson Jr., 29, of Corona.

Authorities said it was not immediately clear whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, and they would likely have to wait for a toxicology report.
The coroner pegged the time of death at 10:44 p.m.
According to Tustin Police Sgt. Todd Bullock, Fergeson was driving southbound in the northbound lanes of Jamboree Road between Edinger Avenue and Barranca Parkway.
Jamboree is four lanes wide at that point, and the speed limit is 60 mph.

- Read other stories on RSM Patch.
Bullock said a witness to the crash had already called 9-1-1 as Fergeson's two-door coupe approached Olson's XB.
"We had officers on the way there before the collision occurred, but we couldn't get there in time," Bullock said.
Officers found both victims dead at the scene.
According to Bullock, Ferguson apparently hit the curb on Jamboree just below Interstate 5 near Michelle Drive, the only uncontrolled intersection along that stretch of road. At that that point, she turned out of the southbound lanes and crossed into the northbound lanes.
Fergeson was a 2006 graduate of Trabuco Hills High with a 4.4 grade-point average who went on to Chapman University. Olson was married.
The crash closed Jamboree Road between Edinger Avenue and Barranca Parkway. The southbound lanes were later reopened, but the northbound side remained closed early his morning.
Anyone with information about the crash was urged to contact Tustin police at (714) 573-3225.

Phone Versus Online Honesty
A new survey shows that Christians who take phone polls exaggerate their attendance more than those who take online polls. But, Martin Marty says, it's showing what we all have known for centuries.
"What fresh hell is this?" was poet Dorothy Parker's question when her phone or doorbell rang. Opinion-surveyors and telephone-pollsters may often be greeted by Parkeresque answerers, but data now suggests that many of the called choose to be nice to the phoners and to themselves.
To the point of our "public religion" business, Religion News Service (RNS) headlines Cathy Lynn Grossman's online report with this summary: "Poll: Americans Stretch the Truth on Attending Church." In her report, Ms. Grossman quips: "You skipped church. And then nearly one in seven of you fibbed about attending."
The source of data about this sort of "fibbing" is a new survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), which recently presented its findings at the national meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. PRRI's survey was, to quote Ms. Grossman, "designed to measure the 'social desirability bias in self-reported religious behavior.' The survey finds that many Christians — and unbelievers, too — will exaggerate about attending worship in live phone interviews. However, when asked in an anonymous online questionnaire, people will answer more realistically."
When polled by phone, 36 percent report attending services weekly or more, while 30 percent say they never go. When polled online, far smaller percentages say they attended at least weekly and far more respondents said they seldom or never go.
Robert Jones, CEO of the Institute, says that people who don't attend worship — but say they did — may not mean to lie. "There's an aspirational quality here. People see themselves as the kind of person who would go." So, "remove the social pressure of speaking on the phone, and people will feel less pressure to conform."
The findings and the comments, including some by Dr. Jones, who knows so much about this, do point to certain anomalies and possible contradictions. Thus "white mainline Protestants" first, and Catholics second, "lie" most. "Lie" is the term that loathers of such Protestants and Catholics use to speak of reported exaggerations.
Many factors have to enter into analyses. Aren't white mainline Protestants, for example, usually seen as caring least about being typed as pious church-goers? If so, and if they are at best apathetic or, in other terms, critical of religious worship, why do they feel social pressure when talking to a nameless, faceless, featureless phone interviewer? And why does on-line transmission remove social pressure?
Among the many who show disdain for "organized religion," "the institutional church," and the practice of piety, why, when the phone rings and they answer, do they turn nicely dishonest?
Bloggers busied themselves with online, not phoned, bluster. This kind of topic brings out the self-identified "atheists" who leaped on the suggestion that religious practitioners lied or, in the critics' terms, simply were "liars?"
More staid and serious commentators on the much-much commented-upon survey and report raise significant issues. The PRRI and the RNS people are experienced and sophisticated, and express caution about over-interpreting findings of their surveys. They consider who in the population does not get represented in the samples of the surveyed — for example, those who never answer the phone in their effort to avoid fresh hells. The experts also take into consideration the difference between land-line phoners and cell-phone users.
Still, the new findings confirm what pollsters have known and the public surmises: there are and for a half-century have been fewer people in the pews than observers noticed or congregants claimed.
Add Your Reflection
I'm curious about why the
I'm curious about why the author of this piece put both "self-described" and scare quotes around the word "atheist"? There are also scare quotes around one instance of "white mainline Protestants" but not any others, and no scare quotes at all around "Catholics", even when referring to those Catholics who don't attend services as often as they claim. I'm willing to bet that the atheists in question are more sincere and honest about their beliefs and practices than the white mainline Protestants and the Catholics referred to in the article.
In my senior year in seminary
In my senior year in seminary, one of our projects was an analysis of attendance statistics of local churches in our home conference (which turned out to be a fairly substantial portion of the conferences of the United Methodist Church with a smattering of similar sized bodies of the United Church of Christ, the ELCA, PCUSA, and even a couple of American Baptist conferences). We were to compare that data with the reported attendance data in polls and, if at all possible, to arrange for independent observation of a statistically significant number of congregations by independent observers. Ever since the results of that project came in, I've known that far fewer people attend worship regularly than say that they do or than most congregations will say do so.
I promised myself that I would resist the temptation to pad numbers just to look good; my predecessor in my current charge padded the numbers to the point that it's what some people remember even though others have tried to counter that memory with pictures and notes and even actual documentation, to little avail. Just as people want to make themselves look good, they want their churches to look good, so it behooves them to inflate numbers (until they have to pay for those numbers, of course).

When Oklahoma uses human incarceration as a major economic model, it is helpful to keep the private prisons and the legal system clogged with nonviolent drug offenders. It's legalized extortion on the public sector.
Will every driver be tested or will selective enforcement of this drug law be used to harass any suspicious-looking person?
Texting and driving is far more dangerous than THC in the blood from a trip to Denver two weeks ago, where it is legal.
Once again, it is the taxpayers who get to pay to enforce this draconian drug law. Lockin' em up costs taxpayers about $30,000 per year per prisoner.
The main factor that draws young professionals to Oklahoma is the giant purse called the oil and gas industry. It surely isn't because Oklahoma is a progressive state in any other realm.
I would bet that Colorado and many other states are enjoying a huge economic boon thanks to same-sex marriage and marijuana reform, but it's obvious they have no idea what the hell they are doing.

For Immediate Release
Friends of the Garden hosts two July festivals in the park
Two summer festivals this July – each one celebrating ongoing development of the Close Gardens at Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Park – will focus attention on the wonders of nature in the Ozarks.
- On Saturday and Sunday, July 11-12, the first Friends of the Garden Butterfly Festival will highlight the new privately funded Butterfly House in the gardens. Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A variety of activities for all ages are planned. Seminars on the science of butterflies and how to attract them, along with guided tours of the entire gardens, including the nearby Japanese Stroll Garden and demonstration gardens of the Master Gardeners, will be available throughout both festivals.
- On Saturday, July 18, the Fourth Annual "Bluegrass and Blossoms" concert and fundraiser will utilize the area near Drummond Lake from 2-5 p.m. Traditionally, attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets.
Both events are sponsored by Friends of the Garden Inc., a non-profit volunteer organization that has been raising funds toward the construction of the $4.3 million Botanical Center.
"In many ways, July is a great month for events that focus on the gardens," says George Deatz, president of FOG. Details and information about FOG are available at www.friendsofthegarden.org.
Here are details of both events:
A close-up celebration of the marvels of butterflies
In science, butterflies and moths are lepidoptera. To children and poets, however, they are flying flowers, worthy of much chasing and observation. And that's the reason Friends of the Garden is creating the Butterfly House to compliment the Close Gardens at Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Parks.
"Along with butterflies – and a few moths – we hope to attract thousands of children to learn the science along with the thrill of observing the butterflies of Friends of the Garden, P.O. Box 8566, Springfield, Missouri 65801 Missouri," says Dr. Bill Roston, who conceived of the festival idea after visiting butterfly houses elsewhere.
The metamorphosis of butterflies verges on the magical. Butterflies live several lives (including egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and finally, the adult winged migrating butterfly).
Perhaps the best known is the Monarch, which migrates thousands of miles across North and South America. But there are at least 50 species in Missouri, and more than 40 "host" plants that provide native habitat for butterflies.
At least three published lepidopterists from the Ozarks are helping develop educational programs and materials for guided seasonal tours.
A $1,000 donation has been made to purchase butterfly stock, and the removable butterfly house will provide a sanctuary for many varieties during their development cycles.
"Bluegrass and Blossoms" concert combines traditional, contemporary
Two different bluegrass bands, "Missouri Mountain Gang," with Larry Mayfield (traditional and contemporary bluegrass); and "Reel Greene" (traditional Irish and American music) will perform during the annual musical event.
"Bluegrass and Blossoms is a fantastic opportunity to hear great bluegrass and traditional music and explore the gardens," says Kenny Knauer, concert organizer and a member of Friends of the Garden.
"We want people to come out and see these beautiful gardens," says Susan Boswell, a master gardener and chair of Friends of the Garden development committee. "But we also want people to bring their families, view the construction site, and imagine the benefits of this wonderful new center."
When the 12,700-square-foot Botanical Center is completed in 2010, it will provide space for educational classes and gardening events as well as providing a home for Master Gardeners of Greene County. It will also include office space and public meeting rooms to be shared by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board, University of Missouri Extension Service and Friends of the Garden.
"The Park Board is excited about the partnership with Friends of the Garden on this particular event. When it is completed, the botanical center will become a major regional destination for everyone, residents and visitors alike," says Jodie Adams, director of the Springfield-Greene County Parks Department.
Growing and growing and ever-expanding
The Botanical Center Master Plan envisions 41 separate gardens, 21 already in existence, including the Butterfly Garden. Already, there are 42 varieties of host plants that attract approximately 50 of the 160 varieties of butterflies that inhabit Missouri. Nationally, at least 20 varieties are endangered.
Volunteers with Friends of the Garden (FOG) are already constructing the Butterfly House in the Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Park, which will open May Friends of the Garden, P.O. Box 8566, Springfield, Missouri 65801 15, 2009, even as we hope construction will begin on the new Botanical Center this summer.
Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Park already encompasses more than 100 acres of public demonstration gardens, several types of grass, herb, butterfly and vegetable gardens, some of which were created and maintained by Master Gardeners, and South Creek Greenway Trail.
About the Botanical Center
Tax deductible contributions to the Botanical Center can be made payable and sent to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, 425 E. Trafficway, Springfield, MO 65806; with "Botanical Center Fund" noted on the memo line. For more information contact Susan Boswell at 882-7439.
Memberships to Friends of the Garden start at $25, made payable and sent to Friends of the Garden, P.O. Box 8566, Springfield, MO 65801.

Very nice. I added bacon to the browning chuck steak cubes and used store bought puff pastry. I used beef stock instead of red wine and frozen veg. Before I added the pastry lid, I covered the meat mixture with a layer of tasty cheddar cheese slices. My hubby loves steak, bacon and cheese pie. Because I added the bacon it was a lot saltier and next time I will use salt-reduced stock.
We made 10 pies' worth of this recipe for a big group. It was very easy, but I found it somewhat bland. I would also at least double the meat:vegetable ratio if I was going to make it again.
Simply DELICIOUS, good comfort food! I used beef broth in place of the red wine and frozen veggies instead of canned. I LOVED IT! This will definitely be a favorite! Thanks!

ROSS MCSWAIN: Whiskey a treat for early Texans
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Texans have enjoyed sipping whiskey for generations, and just because it was not readily available in many places over the years it mattered little since there was always a source someplace nearby.
Now Texas has several distilleries where several kinds of whiskey are being made, although in limited amounts, and there are mini-breweries sprouting up most everywhere.
While reading through a recent issue of the Sunday San Antonio-Express-News, I saw an article about the newest whiskey being marketed exclusively in Austin and San Antonio but is being made in Kentucky. It's a bourbon called Angel's Envy, and is said to be in limited supply.
According to the man who created the small-batch bourbon, Lincoln Henderson, the name came from the 20 to 40 percent of whiskey that's lost in the barrel during the aging process, called the "angel's share." The angels are envious because the distiller is getting the better share, he explained.
Many of us can remember when the best known breweries in Texas were Pearl and Lone Star, both in San Antonio, Falstaff in Galveston and Southern Select in Dallas. There were a few others but their markets were more local.
Whiskey was another matter. Some local corn whiskey, more accurately called "fire water," or names that cannot be printed in a family paper, could be found in areas of East Texas and the Piney Woods.
I had a close friend and former plumber who could make a reasonably good-tasting whiskey, but he was selective in telling those around him when he had a batch coming off. I got my first taste of his corn whiskey from a half-pint fruit jar at the conclusion of a golf game. Surprisingly, it was smooth and did not leave a burning taste when swallowed.
I asked him where he learned to make the stuff and he said "in the Navy." He was a gunner on the aircraft carrier USS Lexington when it was sunk by the Japanese during the Coral Sea battle in 1942.
Today there are liquor stores in most West and Central Texas counties. I remember when most of those counties were dry — bone dry — to any kind of alcoholic beverage. The closest place to buy was from the local bootlegger or by taking a visit across the Rio Grande to one of the many Mexican liquor stores in Ojinaga, Acuna or elsewhere.
In Brady, where I grew up, several bootleggers operated rather openly. I remember an incident that happened in about 1939 when the father of one of my classmates was shot to death in a reported gunfight at the old Frisco railroad depot in east Brady.
Menard County, the only "wet" area close by, had a couple of beer joints and a couple of liquor stores where some locals could satisfy their thirst.
Another bootlegger wore a bulky overcoat, even in summer, when meeting his customers on the street. He had pockets sewn inside the coat in which he kept his stock. The price was $5 a pint.
I admit I have sipped my share of bourbon, scotch, rum and tequila over the years, but no more. The stuff is too expensive and I am more concerned about my health. However, I do enjoy having a glass of wine with a meal and, best of all, it's legal.

A postscript to last Sunday's Ernest Tubb column: Fred Ferry of Portland, Ore., sent an email about reading the story online. He relates that his mother, Nellie Ferry, was West Coast representative to the singer in the 1950s.
"A lady named Norma Barthell headed up the Ernest Tubb Fan Club and she and my mother were always in touch," Ferry said.
He related that his mother won a membership drive contest in about 1954 and Ernest sent her a check for airfare and hotel expenses. "I was about 13 at the time and remember staring at that check like it was from a different stratosphere."
Thought for the week: An apology is a good way to have the last word.
I'll be seeing you Out Yonder.

Nine days.
This is the ninth day without power in large chunks of Wall Township – a town that was largely spared from the wholesale destruction that Hurricane Sandy wrought on our nearest neighbors.
Jersey Central Power & Light says there are about 2,500 still without power in town. Our informal survey of Wall Patch readers leads us to believe that number is higher.
And in just hours, another serious storm is about to bear down on the area.
Although there are certainly pockets, some larger than others, around town that are also without power, the areas hardest hit in town appear to be in North Wall. Those are the areas in greatest proximity to the JCP&L substation on Brighton Avenue and Marconi Road, where on Tuesday a phalanx of utility workers gathered and appeared to be working feverishly to repair damage to the facility.
Stay in touch. Stay informed. Like Wall Patch on Facebook and get updates throughout the day right to your newsfeed. Or follow us on Twitter @WallPatch. Don't miss a thing.
Officials have said the station suffered significant damage during the storm. The number of workers and trucks and activity there Tuesday supports that.
If you're still without power, call JCP&L again. And again. Their number is 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877).
No, it's not as bad as losing your house. No it's not as bad as five feet of water in your basement, or your entire street being wiped out or large portions of the beach in your living room, but nine days without power is going to wear on your nerves, no question.
Below, feel free to complain, kvetch, and get it out in the comments section below. It's fine, really. Let's just try to keep it clean.

When Philadelphia-area consumers filed a class action lawsuit against cable provider Comcast Corp., they inadvertently set in motion a legal battle that could have major implications for big businesses across the United States.
Class Action Case Could Have Big Impact On U.S. Businesses
When Philadelphia-area consumers filed a class action lawsuit against cable provider Comcast Corp., they inadvertently set in motion a legal battle that could have major implications for big businesses across the United States, said veteran LeClairRyan attorney William A. Despo during a panel discussion at the Sheraton Meadowlands.
Sponsored by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education, the Dec. 18 discussion highlighted key trends in class action litigation. Despo, a shareholder in the national law firm's Newark office, focused on the implications of a case heard on Nov. 5 by the U.S. Supreme Court. "At issue in Comcast Corp., et al., v. Caroline Behrend, et al., No. 11-864 (2012), is the type of evidence a plaintiff must provide to the court in order to get a lawsuit certified as a class action," Despo explained.
In its arguments before the Supreme Court, Comcast questioned the legality of the Third Circuit decision affirming the class action suit against the company. "Comcast argued that the opinions presented by the plaintiffs' experts were not credible and that this testimony failed to meet the standards set forth in the Supreme Court decision in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579 (1993), " Despo explained. "Daubert, in general, requires the court to act as a gatekeeper and evaluate the expert opinion for reliability."
When it rules on the case later this year, the Supreme Court might reverse the Third Circuit and require an enhanced standard of proof at pre-trial certification hearings for class actions. "If that happens, it will be a significant victory for corporations, simply because it will make class actions harder to pursue," Despo said.
On the other hand, the attorney noted, the Court might rule that class actions can indeed be certified without adhering to a Daubert evidentiary standard. "If the Court rules against Comcast here, this might not 'open the floodgates' to more class actions per se," said Despo, a member of the New Jersey Bar Association's Class Action Litigation Committee. "But it would clearly make class actions less difficult to pursue by reducing the evidentiary hurdles faced by plaintiffs early in the class action process."
In Comcast v. Behrend, a group of cable customers in Philadelphia claimed that Comcast was using anticompetitive practices to charge unfair prices. Comcast challenged damage estimates presented by the plaintiffs' expert witness, calling for an in-depth review, but the trial court said the case could move forward without one. The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this decision. "The Third Circuit basically said, 'we understand there has to be some inquiry. But in the certification stage, you don't have to go into a detailed inquiry to determine the merits of whether the plaintiff's methodology is a just and reasonable inference or is speculative,' " Despo explained.
While it might be June before the Supreme Court rules on this case, some observers have noted that Justice Antonin Scalia, in a prior case involving class action certification, strongly hinted that the Daubert standard should be applied during the certification phase. "Some observers believe that one of the reasons the Supreme Court took the Comcast case was that the Third Circuit apparently didn't get the hint," Despo said.
When it comes to class actions, the stakes are high for American businesses, depending in part on where they are located, he added. For example, state regulations in New Jersey have paved the way for serious penalties in class action lawsuits filed by consumers. "The law now allows for $100 fines for every instance of improper conduct," Despo said. "For instance, if a restaurant gives out, say, 5,000 or 6,000 gift cards with illegal expiration dates, there will be a $100 fine for every one of those cards. Not to mention attorney's fees, which are included under the law. These suits can be expensive to fend off, moreover, regardless of the ultimate outcome."

I love this foundation as I have quite bad acne if cover anything !!! :) however the formula has kinda changed a little only in terms of color really , the old bottle with the white writing on it was a lot better in terms of color :) the new ones with the blue writing on the bottle are definitely darker and more orange however the coverage and other stuff is still the same but I just don't know how they can have the same names even tho the new colors are blatantly different anyway with the new formula I just kinda went a shade down but it's still too dark so if your are using the new formula one just buy a couple of shades lighter than you used to buy with the old one ... Still the best full coverage foundation I have ever had me and both my sister have used it for years now , and I have tries makeup forever hd , smash box studio fix plus , Dior forever , Dior nude , revolt photo finish , double wear max cover , benefit and you name it and I will always go back to this is skit so reliable and amazing , however I have noticed even tho makeup artist all go on about primer all the primers I have used with this don't work so I have now stopped using primer with this :) however I do mix it with some benefit high beam and it goes on perfectly when I apply with a stippling brush and also when I wear this with primer and sleep in it over night it rubs off but when I don't wear primer it stay on all overnight and doesn't budge :) best foundation. Out there !!!! :) worth the price , could have a better bottle like a pump because pouring does waste quite a bit :) but other than that it's top notch !!! :)

At last, the Holy Grail has been found. I am 53 with normal to dry skin, and after all these years of trying EVERYTHING out there, I finally thought I'd try THE best known one, and I am so pleased, the colour match is perfect and it makes my skin look really youthful not too dewy, and not matte. One bug bear is that I have waited this long.

I do love estee Lauder's double wear foundation, I have used it for a couple of years now and originally the high coverage attracted me to the product as at the time I had bad acne and wasn't looking after my skin properly. However, recently as I see everyone else has commented on the new formula and colour shades. I used to wear "shell" which was perfect for my skin one as I am very pale, but now due to it not being available anymore I wear ecru. This colour is too dark and oxidises throughout the day which gives me that dreaded orange face. Conversely, as I have started looking after my skin a lot more i decided to try the double wear light in the lightest shade (intensity 0.1) this foundation has a more natural finish which I surprisingly like compared to the matte finish you get from the original double wear. Double wear light has roughly the same amount of coverage, it covers my dark spots and discolouration and overall feels so much lighter on my skin which must be better for my pores right? The colour is still that little bit too dark for me but is much better than "ecru". Also, the double wear light formula is much thinner and easier to blend out for beginners.
Hope this is helpful for everyone else who is as ghostly as me!
Ps: if Estée Lauder brings out "shell" again I would definitely repurchase for nights out and times I have an oily day.

This foundation is awesome my skin is sooooo oily and this is the foundation that lasts the longest but i have tried EVERYTHING! The only con is that it is pricey but worth it and you do have to touch up with powder as it does get shiny just use a good primer and powder i use nars powder

Estée Lauder is catching a lot of heat about the reformulation. I don't know why. I used the original formula for years and stopped because I thought it was giving me skin issues It wasn't the foundation it was just my skin changing when I hit 40 :-(. When I figured out it wasn't they foundation, cured the problem, and heard about the new formula I decided to try it out. I went down and was color matched to honey bronze. I was she'll beige in the original formula. I came home with a sample and tried it out . I am very happy with the color. It's more yellow based and that's great for me. I did notice it was thinner, but I'm ok with that too. It doesn't feel as heavy and doesn't settle in my lines. Yay. It did seem to lose a bit of longevity. My oily nose seemed to oil it off a bit sooner , but not that much sooner. The coverage is just as good. I have a sun spot that it covered wonderfully. I used my beauty blender to apply it and it looked awesome. Overall I love the new formula. One suggestion ESTEE LAUDER PUT A PUMP IN THIS FOUNDATION.

I decided to try the Double Wear Regular after being disappointing with the dryness of the Maximum Coverage, but loving the coverage on my scarring and rosacea. I had to layer the Double Wear Regular on to get even a little coverage and the color was a little off. It also had no staying power. About half way through the day it was wearing off and I had to start layering concealer and powder all over my face. I ended up with two foundations I couldn't use, so I decided to mix them together and WOW IT WORKED!!!! I got the full coverage of the Maximum Coverage and the smoothness of the Regular. It did not budge all day and I still looked flawless when I got home from work. This also solved my slightly off color match. When I mixed them together I got the perfect shade. I recommend that you go to the counter and ask for some samples in colors close to yours. I got samples of the Maximum Cover in creamy vanilla and very light, and the Double Wear Regular in Ivory Nude. After applying wait for it to set, because the Maximum Cover makes the foundation dry a little lighter than it looks right away, and then check the color in various lights (indoor, sunlight, fluorescent). The perfect combo for me was Maximum Cover Very Light and Double Wear Regular in Ivory Nude, followed with a touch of Double Wear Ivory Nude powder. After years of searching I have finally found my Holy Grail makeup!!
I like it very much , i am very happy that I discovered this products
All these reviews are pretty accurate in my opinion. EL DW is a great foundation that lasts the whole day and this is VERY IMPORTANT. Should you find the right color and prep your skin with a rich hydrating creme before, this will look fabulous. Colors are a bit weid, BUT, i have to say that i really like the new formula aaaand the new warm shades also. its deff a go to foundation.
Eh....Well, I looovvved this at first - when the lady tried it on me, it was just wow. My perfect foundation is flawless, matte, full coverage, gives a sort of neutral perfect base to your skin, and this definitely did do that at first.
However, I've never gotten that same effect since then, no matter what I seem to do - I've tried different brushes etc, but it just looks a bit orangey, and my skin's been quite dry lately so this foundation is actually a complete pain to blend. my friend pointed out i'd missed a chunk of my face at school one day, even though i'd been blending for ten minutes in the morning. The staying power is okay - stays put well enough on oily skin. But it just doesn't look the same as it did :(
Overall, if it always gave that "first time" effect, I would be in love with this foundation right now, but I think it's just too mature for my 15 year old teenage skin. It's too heavy, a bit too orangey when placed next to my old foundations, and a pain to blend.
Absolutely love this. Defo my staple product. No foundation stays on me except this one and I feel it gives a beautiful finish, doesn't need powder although I use it for longer wear. Only fault is colour, i use mac nc25 and i've tried tawny and sand and neither were exactly my colour. I use tawny in the more summer months but its still not a perfect match. Use a mac pump with it cause it is awkward packaging! No other faults however. Recommend highly!!!!

EUFAULA 12, KELLYVILLE 6 — The Ironheads (7-3) downed Kellyville as Trey Moore (2-2) went the distance, allowing six hits while striking out 10. Moore was 3-for-4 and Ronnie Hallum 4-for-5.
WARNER 7, CENTRAL 5 — Levi Jones pitched the Eagles (14-2) to a win over Sallisaw Central. Jones (6-0) struck out eight and gave up five runs. Cody Coffman had a single and an RBI and Justin Wright had a double with two RBIs.
COWETA 6, TAHLEQUAH 5, 8 INNINGS — Tahlequah (6-9, 3-4 5A-3) committed six errors, spoiling a solid pitching performance from Stephen Wheeler.
Wheeler threw all eight innings and struck out eight, allowing just six hits. The right-hander, however, couldn't overcome numerous defensive lapses, including an eighth-inning error that would eventually turn into the game-winning run.
Tahlequah was down to its final strike in the seventh before Jordan Blalock slapped an RBI single to right to tie the game. Wheeler scored twice on the day, including on a solo home run in the second inning.
BRAGGS 14, OKAY 6 — Braggs improved to 7-6 after they defeated Okay. The winning pitcher was Colton Hardesty who evens out his record to 1-1 for the season.
BIXBY 3, MUSKOGEE 2 —The Roughers (8-8, 1-5) fell short to the Bixby Spartans in Tuesday's game against the Spartans (10-6, 6-4). Ethan Barton (1-3) was the losing pitcher. Dakota Morris was 1-for-4 with an RBI and Tyler Bowden was 1-for-3 with an RBI.

Wrong direction of debateMarch 5th, 2010
I know I just wrote about MF Hussain and some of his blasphemous paintings in my post Insensitivities of MF Hussain but the way the debate has been going on in the media has forced me to write on this very relevant issue once again. It was really very painful to see some very prominent persons from the world of art and culture justify what Hussain has done. It doesn't really matter whether they Hindus or Muslims or Christians. What matters is that they said quite categorically that NUDITY HAS BEEN PART OF INDIAN CULTURE FROM TIMES IMMEMORIAL. They said that we could take a look at Ajanta-Ellora cases or even Khajuraho for that matter and see for ourselves how nudity has been used aesthetically in scultures. By that yardstick, they said, that Hussain had not done anything wrong. What crap!!
Firstly, weren't Khajuraho temples constructed nearly a thousand years ago and Ajanta-Ellora caves even before that? Times have indeed changed since then and a proof of that is that we no longer roam around in just lungis anymore. I'm sure MF Hussain and his friends must've noticed this subtle change which has taken place. But they still don't realize that art and its definition too has to change and should reflect the times that we live in.
Secondly, why has he painted only Hindu Gods in the nude? Why not Buddha, Guru Nanak or someone else? (Pertinent to mention that nude Buddha is indeed worshiped in some parts of the world) Quite simply because he thought that he would get away with this because we are a tolerant and subservient lot. And may be we are.
Thirdly, if those sculptures in Ajanta-Ellora and Khajuraho were indeed nude, they were made so out of reverence for these deities and not for anything else. Moreover, being topless was not such big thing as it is today.
These detractors further add that Hussain has been hired by Qatar to paint the evolution of Arab civilization which clearly shows the kind of respect he has even in the Muslim world. Moreover, they say, in these paintings he will have to depict Prophet in some form or the other. Lets be candid about it. He may be insensitive towards our feelings but he's not stupid. If indeed he has to depict Prophet while describing the evolution of Arabs most likely it will be in some form of light or a shadow where you can't define it as a mortal form. And lets not forget that Qatar officials and govt must've briefed him on this issue. I mean, Hussain is only painting it. They will be the property of Qatar govt and they have to survive in the Muslim world. So don't expect Hussain to do what the Danes did. He won't.
Another very dangerous aspect which not many people are talking about is that MF Hussain has actually dodged or fooled our judicial system by fleeing from India. It quite clearly shows that he did not have faith in our judicial system or our govt. If he was so sure of his artistic freedom he should've fought for it. But he didn't. Also, it must be said that those who have been offended by his paintings have a right to feel so. Just as Hussain has a right to paint what he must. By that analogy, they too need to be given justice.
There is yet another facet to this whole debate. While Muslim fundamentalists are quite vocal about their feelings whenever they are offended by something or someone like Taslima Nasreen, they have not spoken about this issue at all. We may say- "How the hell are they bothered? It doesn't really affect them". Yes, it doesn't concern them directly. But hypothetically, if some prominent Muslims like Vice President Hamid Ansari or may be columnist like MJ Akbar or even any Muslim organization were to say that it is incorrect on the part of Hussain to have hurt the feelings of Hindus in such a manner, wouldn't it go a long way in building bridges between the two communities? I think it would. I'm not really sure of Hamid Ansari but MJ Akbar very well can. Lets see if he does. As for Muslim organizations, well, your guess is as good as mine. Nonetheless, this is an opportunity which can be gainfully exploited to serve a bigger purpose.
But this not just about Hindus and Muslims. It is about being able to live together peacefully. You don't really have to be a rocket scientist to see that what you are doing is going to hurt the sentiments of a particular community. If Muslims feel bad about Prophet being painted, don't paint him. Similarly, don't draw or paint anything which might hurt other religious beliefs. Whats so difficult to understand in that simple logic? Even my eight year old daughter understands this much. She may not yet understand all the reasons behind these beliefs but she still knows these basics.

1. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.My voice is my password Apr 10, 2012 4:57 PM in response to PaintingStar
by "many of my movies" do you mean this only happens with some of them and not others? did these come from iTunes or some other source? Also, do you have audio sync issues with movie trailers, youtube or vimeo content?
2. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.PaintingStar Apr 10, 2012 5:28 PM in response to My voice is my password
Thank you for your fast reply.
Good question about the movie trailers, youtube etc. (I haven't checked that)
The "many movies" are my home movies of recent holidays.
They were originally in avi format (Nikon D90) converted to .4mv (Handbrake).
They all were working perfectly prior to the update....?
3. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.dlar76 Apr 15, 2012 7:48 PM in response to PaintingStar
I just started having the same problems on my atv2. Around the time of the last big update that changed the main page. I haven't been able to nail it down yet. Doesn't seem to happen all the time, and is worse with some shows. Audio starts out in sync, then gradually the audio leads the video. When I pause the show it syncs up again, usually. On one movie it would not sync back up. It seemed as though the audio was playing fast in the voices too, the voices of the actors were off, higher pitch a bit or something. The show I am currently watch went out of sync, I paused it, and it's been fine for 30 minutes... All the shows play fine in iTunes
4. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.tomnash Apr 22, 2012 7:39 AM in response to PaintingStar
I've been having exactly the same problem described perfectly by dlar76.
All the movies in question for me have been converted in handbrake... could this have something to do with it? Perhaps the audio format doesn't bode well accross wifi, which might explain why it works in iTunes.
Any help or solutions would be much appreciated.
5. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.PaintingStar Apr 22, 2012 1:28 PM in response to tomnash
O.K I think I've worked it out.....well this seems to be working for me so far.
I think the problem lies in HandBrake.
Since upgrading to the recent version of HandBrake I've had nothing but problems.
So I deleted it completely and installed the previous version (which you can do via their archive downloads)
It is version 0.9.5 (x86_64)
Just using the standard Apple TV 2 preset.
6. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.flexdmc May 16, 2012 10:39 PM in response to PaintingStar
If the OP can get the file in sync in iTunes but not ATV2 (I'm having the same issue) how could it be the encode? Wouldn't the file be out of sync no matter how it was played if it was due to the way it was encoded?
7. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.Michael Steinhofer Jun 11, 2012 8:27 PM in response to flexdmc
I'm having a similar issue. Also an encode with the latest handbreak. But the problem is that certain files, encoded the same way as others, play the video in normal speed, but the audio is played super fast! And the same file plays fine on my computers and my iPad. I even thought that since its fine on the iPad I could use AirPlay to stream to my appletv, but the audio even speeds up then? I don't think it could be the handbreak encode because I've used the default preset for ages and since these files and all others work fine.
8. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.JustTryingToMakeItWork Jun 13, 2012 6:03 PM in response to PaintingStar
I have a similar problem with Apple Tv. I have lots of films. Some are from Amazon, some are from DVDs and it doesn't seem to matter. The problem seems to be in the buffering of the movie from iTunes on my machine which is more than adequate (2.5 Ghz, 8GB 1333MHz running Lion). Here is my terrible, horrible not so good work around.
1) start the film on the Apple tv
2) press pause
3) when the progress bar shows that the film is completely downloaded (i.e., the progress bar is completely gray)
4) Press play
All things seem to work after that. FF, REW, PLAy and even the voice and video sync. This is not what I expect from Apple. It should be able to download and play at the same time just like it does with Netflix video streaming, but ... you know the rest.
I think the real issue is that they really don't want you to have any videos on any other devices but just download them from iCloud. Read the license agreement and you won't want to store any of your media in the Apple iCloud.
Hopefully, this helps.
9. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.deepsix86 Jul 6, 2012 3:23 PM in response to tomnash
I have been expericening the same issue recently. Some of the points I have noticed
- avi converted to ATV2 HB preset, source audio is MP3.
- Version 0.9.6 x86_64 (2012022800)
- I believe this is the only content I have with the source as MP3
- Other encodes to ATV2 do not have the audio sync
- iTunes/QT/VLC all play the video with no issues
- ATV (wireless) has the issue (orginal MP3 audio source)
- ATV (wired) does not have the issue
- avi converted to ATV2 HB preset, source audio is MP3.
10. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.cendrizzi Jul 27, 2012 5:04 PM in response to PaintingStar
Seeing this too. Between home sharing not closing connections on a wired connection and this problem the Apple TV is becoming useless. To me. Home sharing is turning into a joke.
11. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.Warrant Jul 29, 2012 2:53 AM in response to Michael Steinhofer
Same exact issue! Took me forever to find someone with something similar I have over 1,000 Handbrake records over the last four years and never had this issue. Revently switched to the Apple TV 3 from Apple TV 2 in my living room. The files that are out of sync (playing audio really fast) were recently recorded via HB 9.8. They play fine on the ATV 2 in the bedroom, play fine on the Mac, but will not on the ATV 3 (even if I airplay them from a working machine). Trying to record them again with HB 9.6 to see if there is a difference.
12. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.Warrant Jul 29, 2012 3:12 AM in response to Warrant
9.6 Re-record did not work, trying 9.5 as suggested earlier.
13. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.Warrant Jul 29, 2012 3:17 AM in response to Warrant
Wow, so that did it!? Apparently there is some error in the 9.6 and 9.8 versions of HB that are causing these sync errors. Hope this helps anyone else with the same issues!
14. Re: Apple TV 2 - Audio out of sync.cendrizzi Jul 29, 2012 9:07 AM in response to Warrant
I'm skeptical about this solution. This problem is a little intermittent and I wonder I'd that is what is leading to the thought of it being hb. This seems more like an Apple TV issue only since the videos work on all other devices. Either that or it's home sharing which seems to be messed up these days for a lot o ways.

More Than 8,000 Indiana School Vouchers Awarded For 2012-13
More than eight thousand Indiana public school students have been awarded vouchers allowing them to use public funds to attend private schools this academic year.
That's more than double the number awarded last year.
Adam Baker with the Indiana Department of Education says the program approved by the Republican-led General Assembly in 2011 allows for 15,ooo vouchers this year.
"Next year, there's actually no cap on the number of vouchers available, so we're hoping that we continue to see this number rise year by year," he said.
The Indiana Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to the voucher law by the state teachers' union, which argues that it violates the separation of church and state because many of the private schools in the program are religious-affiliated.
The law also has prompted some struggling Indiana public school districts worried about losing funding to launch marketing campaigns aimed at persuading parents not to move their children to private schools.

WR Simpson sentenced to 15 days in jail
Bengals free-agent WR Jerome Simpson was sentenced to 15 days in jail and three years' probation on drug-related charges, according to The Associated Press.
Cincinnati Bengals
Here are the Cincinnati Bengals top three needs going into the draft, subject to any free-agent signings it may make before then.
AFC North draft needs
No AFC North club has more pressing draft needs than the Browns, whose offense lags behind the rest of the division. As a result, Cleveland could grab rising QB Ryan Tannehill.
Bengals collecting No. 1 picks
The Bengals currently have 12 first-round picks on their roster, and that number is likely to grow.
Report: Bengals have most cap space
Despite a rash of free-agent signings, Cincinnati has the most available room under the salary cap, according to a report by Pro Football Talk.
Bengals re-sign OLB Lawson
The Bengals have kept one of their top defenders, re-signing OLB Manny Lawson on Wednesday. Terms and conditions of the deal were not announced.
Bengals haven't ruled out re-signing Simpson
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis told reporters on Tuesday that the team would consider re-signing UFA WR Jerome Simpson.
Once again, Bengals fairly active in free agency
As they did last offseason, the Bengals have been able to address multiple needs after the opening of the free-agent market.
Report: Bengals re-sign DT Sims
The Bengals have re-signed free-agent DT Pat Sims, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Bengals add depth with four signings
The Bengals have brought back CB Adam Jones and OT Anthony Collins, while also signing free-agent DEs Derrick Harvey and Jamaal Anderson.
Bengals add RB Green-Ellis
The Bengals have added a new piece to their offense, agreeing on Wednesday to a three-year deal with RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
Broncos add WR Caldwell
Needing targets for new QB Peyton Manning, the Broncos have signed former Bengals free-agent WR Andre Caldwell to a two-year deal.
Reports: Bengals agree with S Nelson
The Bengals have reached an agreement to re-sign UFA FS Reggie Nelson, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday.
Reports: Bengals agree with CB Allen
The Bengals have agreed to a contract with Texans UFA CB Jason Allen, multiple media outlets have reported.
Bengals sign OG Wharton
The Bengals have finally made a move in free agency, signing former Panthers OG Travelle Wharton.
The Bengals have signed a quarterback, giving Johnson a chance to back up Andy Dalton.||||||| Johnson was Tampa Bay's fifth-round pick in 2008 and played four seasons there, starting five games. He signed with San Francisco last year but was released before the season opener. He signed with Cleveland for the final game last season.
The Cleveland Browns have signed free agent quarterback Johnson.||||||| Johnson replaced safety Usama Young on the roster Wednesday as the Browns look for protection at quarterback, where starter Brandon Weeden went out with a sprained right shoulder in Cleveland's 34-12 loss in Denver on Sunday.
The winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers have changed starting quarterbacks again, with rookie Josh Freeman taking over for Johnson.||||||| Johnson struggled in four starts after Byron Leftwich led the team the first three weeks of the season.
Johnson went 9 of 26 for 156 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions as the Buccaneers lost 35-7 to New England in London on Sunday.||||||| Johnson was taken out midway through the fourth quarter and replaced by rookie Josh Freeman. Johnson likely won't lose his starting job, but you don't want him starting for your fantasy team at this point regardless.
Johnson threw for 240 yards and two TD passes against Philadelphia on Sunday, but he was also picked off three times as Tampa Bay lost 33-14.||||||| "I'm blaming myself right now. Three turnovers, two of them in the red zone,†Johnson said. "They were bringing everybody. They were bringing more than we had protection. They had an extra guy every time. The coaches in the locker room said they had never seen anything like that before.†Johnson has thrown four INTs in two starts.

A new bill in Albany is looking to combat cyber bullying by prohibiting Internet users from posting anonymous slanderous comments.
The Internet Protection Act, sponsored by Assemblyman Dean Murray (R-East Patchogue) and Senator Thomas O'Mara (R-Big Flats), would force a website administrator to "remove any comments posted on his or her website by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post," upon request. According to the bill, a website would either have to provide a phone number or email address where users could request that false, anonymous comments be removed from the site unless the commenter identify him or herself.
In an age where a simple Google search can detail a person's entire background, anonymous comments can be a major concern for users. Conte and other supporters of the bill argue that anonymous statements, especially false ones, can essentially destroy an individual's reputation without the ability to hold the commenter accountable for his or her statements.
Murray explained that the act would not eliminate anonymous comments entirely, but would give victims of personal attacks the ability to challenge accusations.
Assemblyman Jim Conte (R-Huntington Station) expressed his support for the bill, saying that it"turns the spotlight on cyber-bullies by forcing them to reveal their identity or have their post removed."
The bill would also forbid users to post anonymous criticisms of businesses, which Conte said, would cut down on competitors posting negative or false reviews of a rival business.
Conte and Murray both admitted to being cyber-bullied through anonyomous political attacks.
The main criticism of the Internet Protection Act is that it could hinder freedom of speech rights under the First Amendment.
"This statute would essentially destroy the ability to speak anonymously online on sites in New York," Kevin Bankston, a staff attorney with the Center for Democracy and Technology, told Wired. He said the bill allows a "heckler's veto to anybody who disagrees with or doesn't like what an anonymous poster said."
While the U.S. Constitution prohibits states and Congress from abridging free speech, it does not detail specifics about anonymous statements, nor online comments.
Do you think anonymous commenting should be banned?
*Clarifications have been made to this article. An earlier version did not specify that removal of anonymous comments would be based on requests.

It will either have chilorio or machaca. One uses dry meat, the machaca, and the other one uses fresh meat, and it's a stew.

The Sierra Timberwoves had every reason to be confident as they took the court Tuesday night to battle the visiting Sonora Wildcats.
CERES – It all came down to the buzzer for the Valley Oak League's top team that is looking to claim its four straight league championship.
CERES - After a slow start, the East Union High sophomore girls basketball team outscored Ceres 25-5 in the middle two quarters en route to a 39-19 victory Tuesday.
SALIDA - It was another day, another Trans Valley League victory for Modesto Christian Monday.
Making the adjustment from grade school to high school is a tough transition.
MODESTO - Lathrop High's wrestling team placed nine junior varsity wrestlers in the Enochs Tournament this past weekend.
After building a quick first-quarter lead, the Manteca High boys basketball team held its ground and took care of Sonora 73-58 Saturday in Valley Oak League action.
WESTON RANCH – Things are continuing to fall into place for the Weston Ranch boys basketball squad, which added another Valley Oak League victory to its record with a 66-48 win over Oakdale Saturday.
Two games mattered to East Union's girls basketball team Saturday night.
CUPERTINO - It was the battle of the bigs when 6-foot center Lauren Feddersen and Ripon's girls basketball team met Monta Vista of the Central Coast Section for their annual non-league contest Saturday.
LATHROP - Evan Lewis sparked an 18-1 barrage that started in the second quarter and continued into the third with two 3-pointers, and East Union overcame an early deficit to beat Lathrop 44-40 in sophomore boys basketball action Saturday.
Kiwi Gardner doesn't have to score in bunches for Manteca High's boys basketball team to win, and that was proven in the Buffaloes' 77-68 victory Friday in front of a capacity crowd at crosstown rival East Union's Dalben Center.
After sustaining a first quarter Weston Ranch's boys basketball team could not have drawn up any better, the host Sierra Timberwolves were in position to put together an improbable comeback. Cougar guard Jason Steele lessened Sierra's chances with a huge steal in the waning seconds of Weston Ranch's 66-63 win Friday.
RIVERBANK - The flu bug and Riverbank couldn't slow Ripon's boys basketball team Friday in the Indians' second Trans Valley League contest.
The Sierra High sophomore boys basketball team opened its Valley Oak League contest with Weston Ranch a little flat but played an inspired fourth quarter, pushing the game into overtime before falling 69-65 Friday.
Despite her disappointment, Loretta Kakala stuck around near the Cal State Stanislaus discus ring, watching closely as if taking mental notes of some of the more experienced competitors still alive in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV/V meet on May 20.
