Yes its true! A bill (SB 1198) to allow guns on the campus of a state university for an employee who is just a regular handgun carry permit holder (with absolutely no additional training) passed the full senate judiciary committee tonight.
I am sure some students might be intimidated if they knew an employee had a gun. Some feared the HCP holder might snap and go crazy!
The university did not care.
The questions were brought up to the board of regents.
What about if the person with a gun with a HCP missed their target? Isn't the university concerned a bystander or student could be hit?
The university was not concerned.
What if a police officer saw the shooting, couldn't there be some confusion and the wrong person end up getting shot by police?
The university was not concerned.
Should the person have to get any additional training, aditional back ground check?
The university did not think it was needed.
Didn't the university think the person should show some designation to warn people he might be carrying?
The university was not concerned.
The only difference was this state employee who is allowed to carry a gun with no additional training might need it to protect sheep on the ag campus. Not people.
We see what the university puts it value on.

Didn't quite understand what you were talking about until I watched the video from yesterday about SB1198. What a bunch of hypocrites. You also need to nail a bunch of the Republican reps who are too scared of big business to pass laws which protect the law abiding citizen because those businesses might not give them money come next campaign.ReplyDelete

Structure of the C-terminal PH domain of human pleckstrin
Pleckstrin is the major target of protein kinase C (PKC) in blood platelets. Its phosphorylation triggers responses that ultimately lead to platelet activation and blood clot formation. Pleckstrin consists of three domains: a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at both termini and a central DEP (Dishevelled, Egl-1, Pleckstrin) domain. Here, we report the solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure of the C-terminal PH domain (C-PH) of human pleckstrin-1. We show that this PH domain binds phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4)P2) with high specificity in protein lipid overlay assays. Using NMR titration experiments and mutational analysis, residues involved in binding to PtdIns(3,4)P2 are identified. The binding site is formed by a patch of basic residues from the beta1 and beta2 strands and the beta1-beta2 loop. Since PtdIns(3,4)P2 is an important signaling molecule in platelets, our data suggest a C-PH dependent regulation of pleckstrin function in response to PtdIns(3,4)P2.

Landlords to get lowdown on protecting their tenants (From The Bolton News)
Landlords to get lowdown on protecting their tenants
9:03am Friday 16th November 2012 in News
n LANDLORDS in Bolton are being urged to make sure they know how to keep their tenants safe and prevent themselves becoming victims of crime.
Greater Manchester Police's Crime Reduction Specialist team will explain how landlords can protect their tenants with the correct security measures at a National Landlords Association (NLA) meeting.
Landlords will also learn how they can spot signs their properties are being used as drug factories.
Garry Heil, the NLA's Bolton representative said: "It is essential landlords provide safe, secure properties for their tenants.
"However, landlords must also protect themselves and their properties from instances of crime such as drug production.
"It is vital that landlords carry out thorough background checks on prospective tenants to ensure they have a clear history and are likely to look after the property as their own."
The meeting, which is open to all private landlords and letting agents, will be held from 6pm on November 22 at The Britannia Bolton Hotel, Beaumont Road.

The elections are behind us, the leftovers of the Thanksgiving feast are finally consumed, and it is now the time to mark the celebrations that have arrived or are fast approaching.
Whether it be Christmas, Kwanza, or Hanukkah, which was celebrated last week, each has its elements of gift giving and family celebration.
Our environment immerses us in a pool of joyful preparation and anticipation. Music, television, theatrical productions, and the malls all do their part to instill in us a spirit of joyful anticipation. Yet, having recently spent some time in the hospital and having experienced the emergency room, I became starkly aware of what sickness and trauma can do to disturb the family unit.
My work at Grace Center, the day shelter for the homeless and people who are in crisis, is a constant reminder of how any of us could be caught in similar situations. The sudden loss of a job, abuse, situations which might lead to addictions, broken relations could strike any of us — not to mention the fact of the world situation, which often seems to border on the possibility of a nuclear winter, would be an omission as I begin to reflect on the culture in which we find ourselves.
As a clergy person, I am keenly aware of the dramatic fall in attendance in our places of worship. Most of the clergy are asking the question of why and what can be done.
In such a climate it becomes difficult to truly sing "Tis' the Season to Be Jolly." How can each of us respond to the challenge of joyful preparation and anticipation?
It seems to me that the true spirit of giving and joy, part of all of these celebrations, rests in relationships. Peace and joy comes no matter the situation when acts of love are performed.

Town wants Google Internet
Date: March 12, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The town of Longboat Key is working together with Sarasota County and the cities of Sarasota, Venice and North Port to participate in an opportunity provided by Google to supply high-speed Internet to one or more trial locations across the country.
Google is looking for at least one community somewhere in America to become a test market for future technology called Google Fiber that could compete with companies such as Comcast and Verizon.
But the town and its partners need the support of residents and business owners, who must respond by March 26 to an online question being asked by the Internet giant.
Google is looking for communities to respond to the question, "Why is your community the ideal choice to partner with Google in putting in a high-speed fiber network?"
The project would deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than most people currently have at the same prices consumers already are paying for Internet service.
In addition to faster Internet, the surrounding area would be the center of world news and a testing ground for Google's new revolutionary Web applications if it were approved for the area.
The town is urging local business owners and residents to go to www.longboatkey.org to find the link to the Google question and nomination form for the town of Longboat Key.
Residents must explain why they feel Longboat Key and the surrounding area would be a good trial area for the proposed fiber network.
The effort has received a pledge of support from the Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce.
For more information, contact Longboat Key Management Information Systems Director Kathi Pletzke at 316-1999.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- I think the idea is great! I would like to have Google Fiber option were I live in Sarasota. The more options we are offered the more competitive prices will be, better or us to decide, and I'm sure Google service will be of a considerable quality.

Soon, Village staff may no longer be able to simply remove political signs without warning when they are placed in prohibited areas.
The Public Health, Welfare and Safety Committee has recommended the Greendale Village Board change the ordinance to give residents who violate the political sign ordinance a 72-hour notice before enforcement.
This is a change from the existing procedure—in place since the 1980s—when Village staff would immediately remove the signs without notice, which has been in place since the 1980s.
The resident contacted local conservative radio talk show host Mark Belling about the situation saying that the Village was politically motivated to remove the signs. The Village released a statement stating that the sign in question was in violation of the ordinance because it was on village property adjacent to the man's back yard.
The Village decided to review the ordinance after residents asked that village workers ask homeowners to move their signs instead of just removing them.
The Department of Inspection Services will enforce the ordinance. Director of Inspection Services Scott Satula said that typically someone with an opposing political stance calls and reports a violator. With the new procedure Satula said staff would knock on the violator's door and if no one is home a letter will be sent out giving the violator 72 hours from the day the notice was mailed to remove the sign.
The violation can result in a fine of anywhere from $5 to $1,000. Satula said typically the violation results in a $114 fine per day.
Village Todd Michaels said massive signs are the biggest violations he has seen.
Satula said that if someone other than Village staff removes signs residents could check with the Village since removed signs are being logged.
Trustee Ron Barbian said he believes this change in the ordinance will solve many problems. He said most residents don't realize that they are violating the ordinance and with a notice residents will respond well.
When asked why it's taken so long to change the ordinance trustees said the issue seems to matter more because people seem to be getting more politically involved.
The Village Board will make the final approval.
Here are the rules:
- Political signs are prohibited on public property.
- No political signs shall be posted on or immediately adjacent to any highways, streets, sidewalks, public grounds, parks, school property, or any other public property or on any trees, streetlamps, utility poles or traffic signs in the Village, except that on any election day, two political signs for each candidate or referendum question may be allowed at or near each polling place in the Village.
Private property
- There shall not be more than one political sign per candidate on any one lot at one time.
- The political sign shall not be erected prior to the beginning of the first day for circulation of nomination papers and shall be removed on the day of the election.
- Political signs shall not be illuminated or decorated with flags, bunting or other material and devices used for display or advertising purposes.
- A political sign not exceeding 13 square feet in area appertaining to candidates for public office may be located on private property as provided herein.
- If a violation occurs, the Director of Inspection Services shall give written notice of such violation to the owner or lessee of the sign. If the owner or lessee of the sign fails to remove or alter the sign so as to comply with all provisions set forth in this Section within 72 hours following receipt of said notice such owner or lessee may be prosecuted.

Washington was looking for a baseball hero, and found it Friday at the Sports Complex in the arm and bat of Pat Arvin.
Arvin held Big Eight Conference opponent Boonville to five hits and drove home two Washington runners as the Hatchets defeated the Pioneers, 3-0.
The win was warmly greeted by the Hatchets who broke a three-game losing streak as they improved to 8-6 for the season and 2-2 in the conference.
"Pat gave us a shot in the arm," Washington coach Steve Reed said. "He did it on the mound with a complete game shutout. He was in the rocking chair the whole game."
Boonville was not able to advance a runner past second base. The Pioneers (3-12, 0-3 Big Eight) had two runners in the opening inning, but leadoff hitter Jesse Forbey was thrown out at third by Washington catcher Justin Harner trying to steal with two outs.
Arvin fanned seven while giving up one walk. Arvin's breaking pitches kept Boonville off stride.
The performance was good enough that Reed made comparisons to a big league effort.
"He was in, out, up and down," Reed said. "He popped the fastball. Pat put on, what I thought, was a big league display. A great performance."
Arvin drove home two of Washington's three runs, as the Hatchets got single counters in the fourth through sixth innings. Both runners came home following sacrifice bunts from Jarrod Robinson.
"I was glad to see Pat get it done with the bat," Reed said of the three-hit two RBI day. "I also want to credit Jarrod Robinson. I batted him fourth, and he had two sac bunts. I'm starting to figure out that we have to play that way. We're not going to light the scoreboard up. Jarrod got those two sac bunts, and Pat drove home runs both times."
Washington had dropped three straight, beginning with a Big Eight game at Jasper last week. The Hatchets failed to take advantage of opportunities at home against conference foe Mount Carmel, (Ill.) before dropping a decision against Southridge earlier this week.
"We've left a lot of runners on base in the past week-and-a-half," Reed said. "We haven't been able to get the big hit. We got runners on, over and in. We hadn't been able to do that. Three runs doesn't light up the board, but it was enough with the pitching and defense."
Washington's defense was solid — the Hatchets made one throwing error — and Arvin took care of the rest.
"This was probably the first game of the year that I didn't even think about warming anybody up," Reed said. "I felt that if this game had gone 10 innings, Pat was going to pitch. He was getting the leadoff hitters out. He was getting ahead of the batters."
Boonville starter Jason Stevens matched Arvin through the first three innings before the Hatchets scored once in each of the following three.
Arvin's hits drove home runs in the fourth and sixth innings. Harner drove home the other run with a single in the fifth.
Washington got RBI hits in the fourth and fifth with two outs.
Washington travels today to Mount Vernon to continue its conference schedule.

Throughout our ongoing conversations with customers, specifically the business executives and IT pros, we've recognized a common thread across all the organizations. Regardless of size or business, there is a strong need to balance the needs of the end user with the requirements of the organization to maintain strong security and reduce costs. This becomes even more significant as the world of work begins to dissolve and the Internet becomes the new corporate network and various parts of each company have different needs:
During these customer conversations, we discussed how desktop virtualization can help resolve some of this tension by providing flexibility in the way organizations can provide their users with access to their familiar and personalized desktops, applications, and data. This means whether they log on to their laptop, a desktop PC, or even within a desktop running centrally in the data center via a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
Today, at TechEd, we are pleased to announce that by the end of July we will be releasing the public beta of Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. During our Desktop Virtualization Hour webcast in March, we introduced you to Service Pack 1. We demonstrated the two main new features in Windows Server 2008 R2 that will provide virtualization capabilities to help enhance the Windows VDI experience:
While the new features for Windows Server 2008 R2 benefit Windows 7 by providing a richer VDI experience, SP1 will not contain any new features that are specific to Windows 7 itself. For Windows 7, SP1 will simply be the combination of updates already available through Windows Update and additional hotfixes based on feedback by our customers and partners. In other words, customers can feel confident about deploying Windows 7 now!
As proof to that claim, several organizations of all sizes are already in the process of deploying Windows 7 and not waiting for SP1. In fact, we've already sold more than 100 million licenses of Windows 7. Analysts and third-party researches agree with this:
In addition, customers are telling us about the positive experiences they are realizing with their Windows 7 deployment:
During the Desktop Virtualization Hour in March, we also discussed how we are taking a desktop to data center view, delivering centralized and integrated management across the Windows platform, from laptop to server, from physical to virtual. We are focused on providing a range of choices so organizations can find the right solution for their needs. This includes the hypervisor, operating system, management tools, development environment and applications, so you can do more for less.
We've been investing in Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) and Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V), two key components of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance (MDOP) to help our customers migrate to Windows 7 with greater ease, and today we are announcing that a MED-V v2 beta will be available in CYQ4. MED-V v2 will provide a seamless user experience that will take advantage of Virtual PC 7 enabling USB support. It will also be fully manageable by System Center Configuration Manager which will simplify overhead and management for IT professionals. More information can be found at the MDOP blog post. In addition, Attachmate announced today that they will make their product Reflection 2011 available in App-V format for their customers. They are the first vendor in market to offer this capability and have also contributed to our App-V Recipe Community on TechNet.
Previously we shared the App-V TCO study to demonstrate where organizations can realize value through our technology. As an additional step in driving business value in our Desktop Virtualization offering we have engaged Forrester Consulting to speak with our customers directly, unfiltered, to deliver a webcast discussing the Microsoft-commissioned study, "The Total Economic Impact™ Of Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)." Sr. Analyst, Ben Gray and Principal TEI Consultant, Jeffrey North will discuss the impact of App-V on labor, server hardware, PC/desktop hardware, application management, and helpdesk costs, and they demonstrate how you can use the TEI model to determine the financial return on your IT investments. To learn more about the benefits, including the timeframe for realizing substantial ROI with this offering, register for the webcast which will be delivered on June 29, 2010.
We're very excited about working with our customers to offer a wide range of desktop virtualization solutions, and we're pleased with the positive response and the proof of the value our customers are receiving. Windows 7 SP1, App-V, and MED-V v2 furthers our commitment to invest in virtualization technology and partnerships which make the most sense for Microsoft and our customers. But we're not stopping here – we'll keep evaluating what is best for our customers, so please keep sending your feedback!
While you are at it: could you modify Product Activation 4 Windows 7 SP1 so that I don't need 2 use Telephone Activation every time that I need 2 Reinstall it (Windows 7) and allow me 2 enter the number of computers that I am using it on Using The Online Activation Method instead of requiring me 2 call a Toll Free Number on my Cell Phone? P.S. This is my first post here.
The virtualization news couldn't come soon enough. We are a VMWare shop and growing increasingly more concerned with their complacency as the market leader. Several peer companies are making the jump to hyper-v for cost reasons alone but also seeing performance gains. VMWare's "me too" aproach to VDI is what is killing me right now. It is horrid and my rep doesn't crae because he knows we have a lot of $$$ invested in VMWare. Microsoft has a chance to really ake a chunk from VMWare here; they need to message it and do it right. No more screwing around and letting products take off on their own. They need to go after VMWare in ads and magazines.
Hey folks, if you want to test Windows 7 SP1 public BETA, I would suggest you grab an external hard disk, create a system image of your Windows 7 RTM installation. Install the SP1 beta and test it through out its duration. When SP1 goes RTW, create a Windows 7 SP1 beta Windows Easy Transfer backup of your personal files and settings (back it up to the external hard disk I told you to get), then restore back the Windows 7 RTM System Image I told you to create earlier. Then install Service Pack 1, then launch Windows Easy Transfer and restore your Windows Easy Transfer backup of your personal files and settings.
I am recommending this because I don't want hear any complaints about Microsoft releasing software that destroyed your systems. Ok?? It is beta which means, its not final. ;)
Not so much a comment on SP1, but rather a question: Was TechEd intentionally scheduled at the same time as Apple's WWDC? (Or vice versa?) Just wondering if there was any strategy behind that or if it was simply a coincidence.

Casco Viejo is the oldest city on the Pacific Coast of the Americas, and lies at the foot of the Panama Canal on one side and Panama City on the other. Nowadays, Casco Viejo is acknowledged as the city's most recognizable suburb, located in the district of San Felipe. While this historic community has lost it's economic importance with the expansion of Panama City, Casco Viejo continues to appear in songs, poems, videos, television commercials, and other elements of the city's daily life. Moreover, the area now serves as one of the country's most popular tourist attractions, frequented by tourist guides and photographers alike.
The architecture is a combination of ruins from the days of Spanish Explorers and Pirates, and French Colonial from the first attempt made on the Panama Canal by the French.
To walk through Casco Viejo is definitely to walk through history. Buildings sitting side by side can be over three hundred years apart in age. Balconies are filled with flowers such as geraniums and bougainvillea wrapped around sculpted wrought iron crafted in another century, The streets are brick, and no matter which way they run, they run to the sea, because Casco Viejo is surrounded by sea.
Historical parks litter the whole of Casco Viejo with such figures as heroic Generals on horseback, as the one dedicated to Liberador Simon Bólivar, which has his statue situated in the center of the park. Royal palms stand over the plazas like tall sentinels. The Church of San Francisco (La Iglesia de San Francisco), National Theater (El Teatro Nacional), Hotel Colonial, and Bólivar College (Colegio Bolivar) all illustrate details that call the attention of those visiting the historic area.
The Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitan) is without a doubt the most meaningful structure, and best reflects the Spanish presence due to the buildings dimensions and age; the construction of this building lasted more than 108 years. In front of the cathedral is a large park (plaza), in which the community reunited on November 3, 1903 in order to declare it's separation from Columbia. It was at that moment that the Republic of Panama was born, with much euphoria. Surrounding the plaza is the Municipal Palace (Palacio Municipal) with it's neoclassical characteristics, which was occupied by the French when they began construction of the Panama Canal; the canal was later completed by the United States. The building is being completely remodeled to house a museum that will more adequately depict the construction, function, importance, and future of the canal.
Casco Viejo, perhaps a commercial point in the past, is now a major tourist destination for those visiting Panama. Terrific photographic opportunities exist, particularly for those interested in architectural structures. Located just minutes from downtown Panama City, this historic community is just minutes in a taxi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pikachu from Amazing! This works so well. It applies well and covers those nasty spots. For those saying it didnt cover well, I believe have unrealistic expectations. Let's be real, this is translucent poweder. It takes away most of the redness, but if it's a nasty spot, you are going to need a bit more than just this powder to fully cover it.?I will definitely continue to purchase this!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by rebelplum from Covers beautfully, feels light and clean! I love this product and I've only had it one day! It worked beautifully with my other makeup (which isn't all e.l.f, I was worried about colors matching up). It feels soft and clean on my skin and completely got rid of all the little red spots I had. This one is a game changer!This is great for on the go coverage too. If you get half way through the day and notice a new spot of redness, you can apply this easily with your finger too!

I used to use it dry but I find that it works really well as a mask. ?I cleanse and exfoliate my face with soap and baking soda then I mix the blemish powder with a little water and apply it like a paste. I leave it on for a good 20 minutes or until it hardens then rinse it off. Feels so fresh!

Better than having to use smelly topical treatments like gels, creams or facewashes. (not that you shouldn't still wash your face!)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Danvers from Fantastic for very fair skin tone I use this product not only to treat blemishes, but on a daily basis. I have very fair skin and was using a maybeline translucent powder, but when I found this product I switched immediately. It covers up very well and doesnt feel heavy on my face and Its never caused my sensitive skin to break out. Typically I only have to touch up once mid day. I love this product so much I by a couple at a time so I never run out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crash911 from Amazing Product My hands down favorite ELF find. I would probably pay three times as much for this little pot of miracle powder, but let's keep that between you and me. I have ridiculously sensitive skin and usually can't use anything with Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. It does not last long on my skin, but this may vary due to the fact that my skin is rather oily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RoxanneW from works great! When i first bought this i wasn't expecting much, but it has become one of my favorite items in my skinclearing arsenal. Doesnt provide any coverage but i wasn't expecting that, having read the reviews beforehand. I put this on ?at night before i go to bed, and my acne heals drastically while i sleep!

Rated 1 out of 5 by LULUTRON from Disappointing Personally, I wouldn't call this a blemish powder. It's more like an emergency setting powder if you ever run out of your current one. This actually caused me to break out the very first time I tried it. Haven't used it since then.

Trials & Litigation
Judge Calls Mistrial for 'Absolutely Outrageous' Texting by Witness
Posted May 15, 2009 9:20 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
An angry Miami judge has declared a mistrial in a dispute over the sale of a condo tower because a witness sent text messages about his testimony to a colleague at the plaintiffs table during a trial sidebar.
The witness, Gavin Sussman, was chief operating officer for the plaintiff, Sky Development, the Daily Business Review reports. He was messaging another company executive who also had testified, Yizhak Toledano.
Sky Development had contended the defendant misrepresented the number of two-bedroom units in an apartment complex. One message from Toldedano said, "These people developed the site 40 years ago, in 40 years and know every corner." Another concerned when Sky Development received a document.
A courtroom spectator noticed the texting and alerted a defense lawyer, the story says.
Judge Scott Silverman questioned Sussman about the texting, who admitted what he had done. Silverman also questioned Toledano, who defended his action.
The Daily Business Review recounts this exchange:
Judge Silverman: "Let me be really frank about this. I never had this happen before. This is completely outrageous, absolutely outrageous."
Toledano: "It was on a break."
Silverman: "It doesn't matter. You are communicating about the case and the subject matter of the case with a witness who is currently under oath and before the jury."
Toledano: "I'm sorry, after we took the break, it's not in the middle."
Silverman:"It's a problem on your communicating with the witness about his testimony whether it's before the break, after the break and during the break while he's testifying. This is outrageous."
In another courtroom texting incident, a judge sentenced a Utah woman to 30 days in jail for sending two text messages to her husband from a court hearing about his debt collection case.

Yep, Snoop Dogg has bought a lingerie football team (video)
Mar 13, 2012, 4:49 PM EDT
Look out Lingerie Football League — there's a new, scantily-clad sheriff in town. Introducing the Lady Arena Football League, which isn't associated with the Lingerie Football League, but is associated with Snoop Dogg. That's because Snoop is a part-owner of the Los Angeles Riderettes, which held tryouts this past weekend (see below).
The LAFL and the LFL both play in arenas, as far as I can tell; both play tackle; and both play in their underwear. So the only difference, I guess, is that the new LAFL is eight-person football, whereas the LFL plays with seven players per side.
The new league will begin in May, according to its web site.
Its site says that the league has five teams for its opening season: the Riderettes, the Lady Houston Panthers,
New Orleans Lady Dollz, Kansas City Tease and St. Louis Sting.
Additional fun fact from the Houston Chronicle:
Snoop Dogg already coaches his own children's teams in the Snoop Youth Football League, and he holds his annual Snooperbowl championship for the kids on the eve of the Super Bowl.

Oxfordshire Gang Show set to be sell-out
9:30am Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News
IT might have a different venue and a few different touches but Oxfordshire's most popular Scouting show remains as popular as ever.
Organisers say bookings are coming in thick and fast for the Oxfordshire Gang Show 2013 with just a few tickets remaining for two Saturday shows. The show launched on Monday night and for the first time this year it is being performed at Radley College Theatre in Abingdon.
Another first this year is that the cast is made up uniquely of youngsters, with no-one over 25 starring in the production.
Cast member Pascalle Maule, 22, from central Oxford, said: "It is fantastic – the best experience ever."
There's still a chance to catch the show, which runs nightly at 7.15pm until Saturday. Tickets cost £10 and can be booked at oxfordgangshow.org.uk

Yesterday, National Public Radio President and CEO Vivian Schiller took to the National Press Club's stage to make the case to save the generous taxpayer funding of the left-leaning radio network. Today, her effort may collapse at the hands of the same journo-activist who lay waste to ACORN with little more than a camera and a pimp outfit.
The Washington Times' Kerry Picket has obtained the complete 2-hour video of the latest sting by James O'Keefe's organization in which a representative of the pro-Sharia, but entirely fictitious ,"Muslim Education Action Center" sits down with NPR's chief fundraiser, Ron Schiller (no relation to Vivian), for a two-hour lunch at Cafe Milano. Mr. Schiller allegedly agreed to the meeting in the hopes of landing a large donation from the group that told Mr. Schiller it had ties to the violent Muslim Brotherhood.
The Washington Times' Water Cooler blog's exclusive excerpts from the video reveal a culture in public broadcasting where firing Juan Williams isn't debatable, the Tea Party is obviously racist, conservative activists aren't real Christians and America's uneducated have too much political power.
Later this morning, O'Keefe's website, TheProjectVeritas.com will post the entire video so members of the public and journalists can see for themselves what was said in full and without editing. In order to gain access to an early release of the tape, The Washington Times agreed not to contact National Public Radio until the tape was released this morning. We will do that as soon as we are able and bring you their response on the WaterCooler as soon as it is available.
UPDATE: NPR responds to undercover video sting.
The first excerpt – on the firing of Juan Williams – is here.
Kerry's second excerpt — on America's nasty uneducated masses — is here.
And the third excerpt — on how the GOP has been hijacked by White gun-toting Middle America — is here.
Later this morning, the full video will be available here.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The Moore City Council approved a sales tax rebate agreement Monday night that'll pave the way for a 600-seat IMAX theater to be built on the north side of the massive Warren Theatre.
The council voted unanimously to approve the agreement, which will provide up to $2 million in sales tax rebates to Oklahoma Warren Theatres LLC, the operator of the Warren Theatre.
Deidre Ebrey, director of economic development for Moore, said the rebate was essential to turn the prospect of landing an IMAX theater into a reality for the city.
"If we don't approve this, Warren Theatres cannot afford to do it," Ebrey said of the rebate agreement.
Ebrey said the new development will include two luxury suites with a combined 76 seats and a "full-service, fine-dining restaurant."
The restaurant, which she said "won't replicate what we already have" in the city, already has at least two companies interested.
"They're lining up," Ebrey said. "We do have lots of options."
The restaurant, luxury suites and IMAX theater will open in 2011, she said, adding that no other IMAX theater can be built within a 20-mile radius (an area that includes Norman).
In addition to the IMAX theater, Ebrey said Super Target, Five Guys Burgers, Schlotzsky's and Cinnabon will all open this year. A similar sales tax rebate was used to land Super Target last year, when the retail giant was doing very little expansion due to the economy.
"2011 is going to be a banner year," Councilman David Roberts said.
City to assist with new playground
The council also approved an agreement with AMBUCS of Oklahoma City to aid in the construction of a "universal access handicap playground" at Buck Thomas Park in Moore.
According to the council discussion, the idea for the park came from members of the 2008 Leadership Class of the Moore Chamber of Commerce, who — in turn — sought the assistance of AMBUCS to gather funding as a nonprofit.
The park will be designed specifically for children with disabilities. A representative from AMBUCS said the original group who fostered the concept will remain involved in the project.
"This is something we're all excited about," Mayor Glenn Lewis said. "It should be a great project."

About Us
The San Antonio Fire Museum Society
Click here for information on membership
In 1997, a group of fire fighters banded together and came up with the concept of creating a fire museum for San Antonio; to preserve the rich historical culture of the department; to collect, preserve, and archive the records of the department and to continue an educational program aimed at educating the San Antonio citizenry regarding fire protection and prevention.
The original Chairman of the Group was John Duennenberg, who along with others paved the way for the eventual formation of the Fire Museum Committee. Twelve years later, the Society is finally moving forward with fulfilling its dream of establishing a museum. And the most tenacious members of the original cast are still with us today, to wit:
These individuals had a vision and they were not going to be deterred from its achievement. Year after year they were promised a site, were promised assistance and artifacts, yet the promises fell on deaf ears. It wasnt intentional as the City was experiencing budgetary cutbacks, the fire department was not alone in the mandate to reduce expenses. Further, there never was a truly convenient site to be designated as the official site for the museum.
In 2007, the above group of founding members, recruited new members to re-energize the committee and to further its goals with a new focus and direction. By then, they had established permission to use the then abandoned Fire Station No. 7 on Alamo Street as the temporary storage site for artifacts and equipment. The Committee elected Carlos Resendez as its President, who immediately scheduled a series of meeting to establish where we were and what needed to be done to move towards the common goal.
Among the things that Resendez determined that had to occur were the incorporation of the Museum Society as a 501 (C) (3) corporation (a non-profit entity) whose primary interest would be to preserve the rich cultural history of the San Antonio Fire Department, to obtain the federal and state tax exempt status and to negotiate with the city to obtain a lease on Fire Station No. 7 to house equipment and artifacts, thereby legally allowing the Society to be on the site for the period negotiated, and to further look for a more proper site regarding the future site of the Fire Museum.
After Chief Charles Hoods appointment as Fire Chief in February of 2007, Resendez set up several meetings and together they decided on the accomplishment of the stated goals. Resendez took care of preparing and completing the legal infrastructure for the Museum Society and the jointly worked with Chief Hood to designate Station No. 1 as the proposed site for the new Museum pending its relocation in late 2010 or early 2011. Together, they advance a Memorandum of Understanding that spells out the series of events that must occur to effectuate the accomplishment of the dream.
In early 2010, the Board of Directors will be installed at a ceremony launching a $5 million capital campaign to raise funds necessary to refurbish Station No. 1 once it is officially relocated. The funds will be used to create a high tech communications room to offer educational programs to the public at large, and to show the development of the history of the Fire Department, its living history through past legends that have already been recorded. Other funds will be dedicated to preserving antique equipment that the Department has rendered obsolete and to perhaps purchase certain pieces of equipment needed to complete the story of the mechanical evolution. The entire site will be painted; the exterior sandblasted; the bay doors brought to their original condition; the floors restored; the basement waterproofed to accommodate additional storage; the shops area utilized to restore future apparatus; and the kitchen area restored and made functional as if in use currently. This all will take time, talent and money to accomplish.
Labor of Love Campaign
One of the ideas advanced by Resendez is to retain the services of a project manager to coordinate the activities of the rehabilitation of Station 1. In that vein, the Museum Society will be asking individual fire fighters to undertake specific functions needed in the restoration process. For example, if a particular person wants to undertake the restoration of all the windows or painting the interior of the station, this activity can be undertaken in coordination with the project manager as an IN KIND contribution to the Fire Museum Society. This will alleviate the Museum Society's having to solicit the millions of dollars needed for the project during a period when everyone is feeling the pinch of a tight economy. Not all functions will lend themselves to an IN KIND contribution, but we will try to discern which functions can be executed in this fashion and the amount of work that will be required to entertain this objective. This will also enable us, active and retired fire fighters, to claim ownership of the project. We can and will give back to our community through this endeavor, as thanks for the support our community has given us since our formation in 1891.

There are more places than ever before that are willing to host children's parties. Many facilities put together turnkey packages so that all parents need to provide are the birthday child and guests. If you decide to host a children's party at an outside facility, here are some of the questions you should ask:
Cost Considerations
- What is the cost per child?
- Will you have to pay for any parents that stick around for the party?
- Is there a minimum number of children you are expected to pay for?
- What is the maximum number of children you can have?
Organizational Questions
- What is the length of the party?
- What activities will be organized by the facility?
- Do they expect all the parents to stay and supervise their own children (as Gymboree does)?
- How many party coordinators do they provide?
- Will they send out the invitations for you if given a list?
Food Questions
Are food and beverages provided? Do they have a relationship with a food supplier (such as a pizza shop) that you are required to use? What additional food can parents bring in, if desired?
Child Related Questions
- Do they recommend children wear any particular type of clothing?
- Is there any clothing that is not permitted?
- Is there a minimum age for children?
- Is there a maximum age for children?
Other Important Details
- What extras do they provide? e.g. goody bags, party favors, invitations
- Will party goods be supplied?
- Can you drop off ahead of time any of the food or party goods you'll be supplying yourself to save last minute setup?
- If you'll be hosting at an outdoor location such as a park or beach, are there restroom facilities?
Final Tip:
Don't forget you'll be bringing home presents from the party. Make sure your car is large enough to handle the anticipated gifts.
Here are some ideas for the kind of places that now host parties for children. If your child has a favorite place to visit, it never hurts to ask whether they are available for your next party.
- McDonald's
- Chuck E. Cheese's
- Burger King
- Pizza Hut
Outdoor Parties
- Nature Centers
- Farms
- Zoo's
- Geology Parties
- Aquarium
- Beaches
- Parks
- Rock Climbing
Sporting Parties
- Bowling Alleys
- Karate Centers
- Gymnastics Centers
- Water Parks
- Batting Cages
- Miniature Golf
- Roller Rinks
- Ice Rinks
- Swim Clubs
Home Arts and Crafts
- Craft Shops
- Pottery Painting
- Supermarkets
- Tea Parties
Older Kids
- Movies
- Laser Tag Arenas
- Museums
Very Young Kids
- Gymboree
- Children's Museums

Many months ago we were looking into getting some new beach cruisers, we decided to hold off. Just a couple of weeks ago we finally dropped the coin for two. The brand is Nirve and they are built right here in Fountain Valley. They are like the limo of beach cruisers.
I picked up this one...The Classic
This is the one my daughter picked out...The Lanai (Island Series)
My wife, as of yet is undecided on what she wants so she is riding my old one until she finds one she likes. Living less then 2 miles from the beach these make for the perfect ride to get there.

moreMost people only know her as Justin Bieber's mom, but Pattie Mallette has had an incredible journey of her own. Many people have heard of her son's rags to riches triumph. A few know she was a teen mom who had to overcome a drug and alcohol addiction. Even fewer know the rest of her story.
Now, for the first time in detail, Pattie shares with the world the story of a girl who felt abandoned and unloved. Of a teenager who made poor choices. Of a young woman who attempted suicide and could hardly bear to believe that God would ever care for her. One who messed up, got pregnant, and got a second chance. Every reader will find themselves somewhere in Pattie's painful journey of redemption. They will be encouraged by her example that what was once broken can become whole.
Pattie's story will inspire readers to believe that even in the darkest of places, there's always hope. For those who feel unlovable, there's always love. And for those who believe they're a lost cause, there's always room for another chance. less

If I have one bit of unsolicited advice for everyone, it would be this: Don't move.
All right, agreed, that probably wouldn't work. People have to move for jobs or because their life situation changes or they need more space or less space. I guess the economy depends on people moving — from being willing to take new jobs to buying and selling homes.
So ignore that, start over.
If I have one bit of unsolicited advice for everyone, it would be this: Don't buy stuff. OK, again unworkable. And please don't tell the publisher or the ad director that I said that. Go ahead and buy stuff.
How about this: If I have one bit of unsolicited advice for everyone who buys stuff and might one day move, it is this: Get rid of stuff long before you move. Save yourself. Save your relationships. Instill this discipline in your children. They will thank you or perhaps they won't.
I have recent experience in this matter fueled by my failure to follow the above advice. Not the "don't move" advice. I took that back, remember? And not the "don't buy stuff" part. A big never-mind on that one.
The part I didn't follow is the get rid of stuff as you go along part. And I blame popular culture. You know all those home buying shows on HGTV? The ones where people look at three houses to decide which one would be best for their dog?
First, they're phony. People's dogs have already decided and the owners have already put in an offer on the house they want before they are filmed touring the others. Second, the buyers almost always want more storage.
Storage, however, is an attractive nuisance. Having storage means that when you buy new stuff you don't have to get rid of the old stuff because you are sure you will need it someday or the kids will want it or you are too lazy to deal with it.
Until you have to deal with it.
Certain things get moved and they fall into three general categories: 1) things you'll need in your new house; 2) things that are so precious and meaningful that you have to take them with you; 3) the cats.
OK, maybe there are two categories.
The rest has to be stored or gotten rid of. Storage is expensive, and I even had to sign a pledge to not live in the unit.
The stuff that has to be gotten rid of can be sold, given away or recycled. I have sold a few things, but I decided against the great American tradition of the garage sale. I did not want to spend the day having strangers offer 50 cents for an original Andy Warhol.
I am, however, a religious recycler. You're right, best to keep religion out of it. I am an aggressive recycler and have filled my bin every two weeks and made many trips to the recycling center and am on a first-name basis with the people at Goodwill.
But I have also discovered another great American tradition — the leave-stuff-on-the-curb-with-a-sign-that-says-"Free" tradition. At no time has it taken more than 15 minutes for everything I put out to be taken by someone who loves it more than I do — which wouldn't be hard since I just kicked it to the curb.
Finally, when something isn't recyclable or reusable or I can't persuade any of my siblings to take it, I resort to the transfer station. Don't judge. I just didn't know what else to do with two slip-and-slides that no longer held air. While I haven't been there often enough to get on anyone's Christmas card list, I have come to know their schedules.
In summary, go ahead and move if you have to. And by all means buy stuff that you need and want. Just take time along the way to reduce, reuse and recycle — and when that fails, visit the nice folks at the landfill.
You'll thank me someday, even if my kids won't.Peter Callaghan: 253-597-8657 peter.callaghan@ thenewstribune.com @CallaghanPeter

NEOSHO, Mo. —
"It was such a beautiful day, these were veterans of all wars and they were socializing and talking about their experiences while they were fishing. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. So we decided, 'Let's do it again'."
— David Hendrix, Neosho National Fish Hatchery manager, speaking of the inaugural "Rainbows for Veterans" event
We can never do enough, or offer gratitude sufficient, to recompense the sacrifices made by the men and women of our armed forces. That is one of the reasons it is noteworthy anytime efforts are made to honor and show tribute to American veterans.
The second annual "Rainbows for Veterans" will be held today at the Neosho Fish Hatchery. All veterans, as well as active duty military personnel and their families, are invited to this free event.
The occasion is an opportunity for sponsors to unite and pay homage to the men and women of this community who have served our county so honorably.
There are several community sponsors for the event. Friends of the Neosho National Fish Hatchery is host for this year's event. Neosho Wal-Mart is supplying fishing poles. Eagle Claw is providing bobbers, hooks and poles. The Missouri Department of Conservation will supply additional fishing poles and will provide volunteers to assist anglers as needed. The Neosho Walgreens has donated 400 goodie bags for participants as well as the services of a pharmacist to conduct free blood-pressure checks. The Shoal Creek Turkey Foundation will be cooking lunch.
A band will be coming from Fort Leonard Wood to entertain participants and honor veterans.
"Without the community, we would not be here. This is a small token we can give back to the community, and we are excited about it," Hendrix said. "A lot of good people are coming together to make this happen."
The opening ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. and fishing will continue until 2 p.m. Participants will be able to catch and keep four rainbow trout each. The catch will be cleaned on site and packaged on ice by volunteers for participants' convenience.
A form of military identification is required to participate. Free T-shirts will be given to the first 200 veterans.
It is recommended to arrive early for parking, registration and collecting the supplied fishing gear and bait. Forecast for Saturday is rainy, but with a high of 67 degrees, it should still be good fishing weather.

Stillwater NewsPress
STILLWATER, Okla. —
Clay Stephens has always been a small-town sort of guy. He grew up in a small town and began his career coaching at places like Hennessey before spending the past 12 years guiding Frontier's girls basketball team to three state championships.
Now Stephens and his three state championships will be coming to the big city of Stillwater as the new coach for the Lady Pioneers.
"We think we hit a home run with it," Stillwater athletic director Tucker Barnard said. "He's a great, great basketball coach. I've just met him, but by all accounts he's a good man. He's had success everywhere he's been — three state championships at Frontier and was runner-up with two state tournament appearances at Hennessey. We're very, very fortunate and very, very happy. We had a lot of applicants for this job and it took a lot of work just to narrow the list down. We talked to some really good people, but man, do we feel like we came out with a winner."
Stephens will take over for Carl Treat, who resigned last month for undisclosed reasons. Treat's squad was 13-10 during a campaign marred by injuries in his final season as Stillwater's coach.
"Coach Treat has done a good job here for several years," Barnard said. "I know that's hard for everybody and it was hard for him to make that decision, but it was just something he felt like it was time for.
"A lot of our girls were really upset about coach Treat's departure, as they should be. That's the guy they looked to for several years and has been their leader. That's hard for them to deal with."
Stephens, on the other hand, comes in fresh off a state quarterfinal berth at Frontier with a 23-6. Now he's hoping to work similar magic for a Pioneer squad that's had its ups and downs.
"I'm very excited," Stephens said. "I don't really know that much about the girls there, but we're pretty close to Stillwater so I kind of keep up with it a bit. I'm excited about it. I think it could be good.
"My expectations every year are the same — we need to make it to the state tournament," Stephens said. "Now in Stillwater, is that realistic? I would hope so. I don't know, but that's my expectation going in. Are we going to win every game? Probably not. But we need to start out and kind of build toward the end and playoffs. Hopefully we'll be peaking at the right time and play well in the playoffs and have a little success there."
If it's one person that can get Stillwater on the right track its Stephens.
"When you have somebody who has experienced that kind of success, he can lead the girls through it," Barnard said. "He knows what to expect before it happens. He knows some of the pitfalls that come with success. I think he's going to know some of the obstacles and how to avoid some of those obstacles. It's just a great opportunity for our girls."
To get there, Stephens said he will implement his own system — the same system that led Frontier to a state championship two years ago.
"Our success (at Frontier) is based on the fact that we had some pretty good players — and we've been fortunate to have some good players — but we also have a system and I think it works," Stephens said. "Hopefully, I can implement our system and get the girls to buy in to our system. If we have a little talent, then we can try to duplicate what we've done here. I'm not saying that we're going to be able to do that because Stillwater is in Class 6A and that's a different competition, but we're going to give it a shot."
No doubt, Stephens will have his fair share of challenges in the road ahead. Stillwater graduated five seniors last season and look to be fairly young. But even though they may be young, they will have some varsity experience.
"Going into a new situation like this, I'll rely on the older girls for some leadership and inspiration," Stephens said. "It's hard to say, I'm going to rely on the young ones for anything because I don't really know them yet. You still are going to need to have the older players kind of show the younger players how it's going to go."
On top of dealing with a young group of players, Stephens is coming from a class where one outstanding player can dominate to the point of being nearly unstoppable. It's that challenge that may have been the selling point for the former Frontier coach.
"I've been at Frontier for 12 years and it's gone pretty well," Stephens said. "As a coach, you're looking for the next challenge. For me, it's Class 6A. Can I do that? Will my system work at that level? It's also a challenge. Coaches are competitive people. I want to be able to go to that level, compete and hopefully be successful. Frontier's been good, but coaches are always looking for that next challenge and that's what kind of attracted me to it — just thinking, 'Let's go give that a try. Let's go see if we can do that.'"
Stephens may be venturing to the big city, but he won't be completely lost when the first whistle blows next season. Assistant coach Kendra League will remain on the staff, helping to bridge the gap between the old regime and new one.
"Coach League, who was the assistant for coach Treat, I believe that she's going to stay on staff," Stephens said. "I remember her playing in high school. I coached against her, so I've known her for a long time. In this transition process, she's been very helpful. I talked to her the other day and she's a resource I'm really going to rely on because she knows these girls and she knows what their tendencies are. Having her is going to be a big plus, I think."
Perhaps the biggest challenge for Stephens might not be on the basketball court, but in getting settled in at his new city. Stephens said he will still fulfill his obligations at Frontier's team camp, while also trying to take part in as many summer workouts as possible in Stillwater.
"This summer is going to be kind of a transition," Stephens said. "I still have some obligations here at Frontier that I need to take care of, and then I'm going to be at Stillwater as much as possible. I think it's going to work out for the most part, with me being able to be with the Stillwater girls. There may be one or two times where that might be awkward, but I think it's going to work out.
"I'm very excited about it. I think it's a great opportunity. Stillwater has a very good school system. I'm not that involved in the athletics of Stillwater, but I think it's a great situation. I hope that what I want to do and what I've done here at Frontier will transfer and the same things will work."

AUSTIN, Texas —
The American Heart Association says it is a simple test that can save lives, and a bill introduced at the State Capitol seeks to make sure the test is done on all Texas newborns. The test is called a pulse oximetry screening, and can help catch babies with birth defects of the heart before they leave the hospital, according to Dr. Amit Khera at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
"We're still missing a lot of these kids, and the problem is, once that diagnosis is delayed, sometimes when they're being rushed back to the hospital, they are critically ill," the doctor said. "So the goal is to try to pick up these kids with a very safe, easy and quick, cheap test that can be done before they go home."
A number of Texas hospitals and birthing centers already do the pulse ox screening as part of a newborn's regular testing and care. The bill, SB253, that would have it performed on all newborns in the state has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing at the Legislature.
One person who knows the importance of the pulse ox firsthand is Curtis Popp of San Antonio.
"My son Christian, he was born in 2009, and a pediatrician using pulse oximetry detected his congenital heart defect and he was able to receive open-heart surgery while he was healthy," he said.
Popp said his son is now three-and-a-half years old and is doing miraculously.
The story of Christian, though, is not uncommon. It's estimated that up to 20,000 babies born in Texas each year have some type of birth defect, and the most common are those of the heart, according to Dr. Khera.
"Defects of the heart, we call them congenital heart disease, is one of the leading causes of death and birth defects in children," he said. "You can imagine if a heart is not formed right, then soon after a kid goes home, especially if it's a real abnormal heart, they will certainly get into trouble."
Not a lot is known about the causes of most birth defects, but there are a number of ways that women can cut their risk. That includes avoiding alcohol and smoking and taking a multivitamin every day that contains the full recommended dose of folic acid.

The Roundup
The lack of offense finally caught up with the Broncos and LaDainian Tomlinson ran around ,over, and through a defense that had been nearly impenetrable. The Broncos now find themselves in deep water.
This toon was done right after the game. I had an 11:00 p.m. deadline so it didn't give me much time but I always like the challenge of turning around an image right after the game that shows up on the internet at midnight and is in the morning paper for breakfast. Clearly there were many angles and directions I could have gone. I decided on L. T. because I liked the drawing. It was possible to execute quickly and to the point. Very important considerations under a tight deadline.
November 20, 2006
Ugh...that was ugly.
3rd down makes/breaks a team and in this case, Jake broke the offense...again..
LT is just amazing to watch. But it also shows that the Broncos D isnt as great as the statistics show. Two big offenses in the Colts/Chargers and the Donks come up short. Half the field is shut down with Champ and the other half is a gaping seive with D.Williams. Forget his interception, that was thrown right at him.
What kills me is that Dallas can get pressure on Manning with a front 3 and it takes Denver 6 players to even get Rivers to rush his throws. Other than the big hit by Gold on Rivers in the first half, that was the only time he was on the ground...
Now AT KC...(must win)...If memory serves KC has some unreal record at home in November.
If Denver loses at KC, Shanny will be under tremendouse pressure to bring in Cutler. If they lose to Seattle thereafter, a pure guarantee...a loss to SD thereafter...Cutler drives the rest of the season with 3 games to go...
I'm all wound up...no time to 'come down' until Turkey day when I will be yelling at the Damn Donkeys looking for Jake to break my heart again...
November 20, 2006
An embarrassing coaching perfomance last night. I didn't think I'd live to see the day that Shanahan was outcoached by Martyball.
Also, I disagree with the floks mad at Sapp on the last kickoff. If he lets that ball bounce and it bounces funny, San Diego has a decent chance to recover that kick ending any chance at a comeback.
Lastly, Darrent Williams feel free to cover someone before you start running your yap telling everyone how great you are.
November 20, 2006
Outcoached!4th and 4. Where was the tight end?Where was the bootleg? Blitz pressure with no prss coverage to clamp the hot routes.
November 20, 2006
Coaching is only good if you have the personnel to execute your plays. We all know the offense has been dumbed down for Plummer to grasp it. It is time for the Cutler Era to begin. Does anyone honestly think Jake will take the Broncos to the the promised Land (Super Bowl)? Should they somehow make the playoffs, think Wild Card they will lose. So why wait until next year to get get Cutler playing time?
November 20, 2006
I'm sick of Plummer. I've continually backed him when others didn't. Well, now I know I was in the wrong. This supposed 10 year Veteran is playing no better than a rookie. I say we take our chance with the "other" rookie that is sitting on the bench right now. He may not come in and light things up, but he definitely can't do any worse than what Jake has done thus far this season.
Go Broncs!!!
November 20, 2006
Just curious, am I the only one who remembers the time a few years ago when we had the great greise? I'll take plummer over him any day, I wonder how Plummer would play without every Bronco fan on his back every Sunday. I'm not saying he's great, but I don't want to see Cutler thrown into his situation right now. If he didn't live up to 100% of his potential, everyone here would be throwing him under the next bus to Miami.
November 20, 2006
What a heartbreaker encapsulating the season. Jake falls asleep, we can't decide who we want at running back, Darrent-Williams does a lame T.O. impression, and we lose the game in just one and a half quarters. Not to mention that SD kept the ball almost the entire first quarter.
Is this going to become known as Shannyball? Our anomalous season is starting to resolve into an ugly picture. We don't have it in us to make a Superbowl run this year. It's a disappointing reality.
Shanny needs to make the changes now to prepare for a strong run for the SB in 2007! Let Cutler get some reps and experience. Pick a running back and stick with him or acknowledge that the position is an open audition. Figure out how to better pressure the opposing QBs with the darling Browncos.
November 20, 2006
Ahhhhhh.....Pure Bliss!!!!!!!
Thanks Jake...
I can always count on you.
See....It doesn't matter how good your overall record with the Donkeys is. You cannot, and will not win the big game. You cannot beat Indy when it counts. You now cannot beat the Bolts when it counts. You beat the normal teams. You beat teams that are missing players (See New England & Kansas City eariler this season) and you beat teams that have no shot at all (See the Raiders). But that's it.
You're nothing but a fluff quarterback.
Have a nice time holding the clipboard along with your buddies like Mark Brunell and Drew Bledsoe.
December 3, 2006
Mr Litton;
It has ben 16 years since I lived in Colorado and had the Rocky at my doorstep. So having the Rocky on my desktop is almost as good. Your toons are as always great. As a matter of fact I have some of your best Elways on the wall.

Washington Times: Forgerygate: Ignoring Arpaio's report is a scandal in itself
Is President Obama's birth certificate a forgery? Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., believes it is. He recently held a press conference in Phoenix to discuss the findings of a new 10-page report. Mr. Arpaio's investigators have come to a stunning conclusion: The long-form birth certificate Mr. Obama released last year is a "computer-generated forgery."
With the exception of The Washington Times, however, no major U.S. media outlet reported this bombshell story. The liberal press corps is desperately trying to suppress any discussion of Forgerygate — potentially one of the biggest scandals in American history. The media class is betraying its fundamental mission to pursue the truth.
"Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic," Sheriff Arpaio said. "My investigators believe that the long-form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House."
The Washington Times story, written by Stephen Dinan, points out that Mr. Arpaio has called for Congress to investigate the matter. Think about this: A high-profile sheriff orders a team of former law enforcement officials to examine whether the president is truly a natural born citizen and that he has the constitutional and legal right to occupy the White House. Their official report is that Mr. Obama's documents are shoddy and he likely engaged in deliberate fraud. And yet, most of the American press corps doesn't believe this is an important news story? The liberal media has become rotten to the core.
Ironically, the foreign press reported widely on the story. For example, Pravda — that's right, the former official organ of the Soviet Communist Party — did an extensive analysis of Mr. Arpaio's findings. The article by Dianna Cotter asks the obvious question: What are U.S. journalists afraid of?
The answer is that the issue strikes at the heart of Mr. Obama's administration: If his presidency is illegal, then all of his accomplishments — the stimulus, Obamacare, the contraceptive mandate, the government takeover of the auto sector and appointments to the Supreme Court — are illegitimate as well. The scandal would trigger a constitutional crisis.
Following Mr. Obama's surprise news conference last year, when he unveiled the long-form certificate, the media insisted that the controversy was settled once and for all. The "birthers" supposedly had been silenced. Mr. Arpaio's report, however, changes that. The issue has been resuscitated — except in the eyes of the mainstream media.
A prominent sheriff says he has damning evidence that Mr. Obama probably lied to the public. The international media believes it's a big deal; many Americans agree. They want to get to the bottom of it. Yet, the liberal hacks at the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC can do nothing more than yawn.
Contrast this with their treatment of President George W. Bush. Throughout the Bush years it was open season: routine comparisons to Adolf Hitler, charges of being a war criminal, calls for impeachment, trumped-up scandals like the Valerie Plame affair, investigations into the partying habits of his teenage daughters, stories about Mr. Bush's drinking as a younger man, his National Guard service and mediocre college grades — journalists left no stone unturned, no questions unanswered, no topic was beyond the pale……Learn More
