Maxson Bunker
Talk1this wiki
Redirected from Maxson's Bunker
Maxson Bunker | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following is based on Van Buren and has not been confirmed by canon sources. |
We're losing the war, we're losing technology to the wastes, and our inept commander can't do a damn thing about it! Well, some of us have taken steps to recoup our losses!
"— Devon Hill, the Circle of SteelMaxson Bunker was a pre-war fallout shelter built by a senator for his family and himself. Unfortunately, the war caught him unawares and the bunker was never used. All but forgotten, the bunker location was passed down as a family secret from one generation to the next. Eventually a family member passed the secret on to Roger Maxson, who claimed it for the Brotherhood of Steel.
The bunker was intended to be used as a staging area for exploration teams scouting the east. However, once the war broke out with the New California Republic the bunker became a forward base of operations against Hoover Dam, an NCR outpost. The war effort has gone poorly for both sides. The BOS has superior technology, but the NCR has superior numbers of troops. As a result, the war has been at a stalemate for years. Morale on both sides has plummeted but the BOS has been severely affected.
The BOS has always believed themselves to be an elite organization comprised of the best that mankind has to offer in soldiers and technology. The fact that a large group of under trained and under equipped troops could hold their own against such superior forces was an eye opener for the BOS. The war, in their eyes, has now become a senseless waste of lives and resources. Many of the BOS troops have deserted and fled into the wasteland to find new lives, leaving the bunker occupied by a select few diehards.
In the wake of these troubles, a covert group of former BOS operatives has come into existence. Calling themselves the Circle of Steel, this group raids caravans and villages, confiscates any advanced technology they may have, and does so in the name of salvaging mankind from itself.
In the year 2067, Senator Todd Peterson decided to build a secret bunker to house himself and his family should war break out. Senator Peterson was a wealthy man in his own right, but lacked the funds necessary for such a project. Through secret dealings with Poseidon Oil and a covert branch of the government known as the Enclave, the final funding for the project was attained. A construction site was chosen in southern Colorado and work began.
Ten years after the construction was completed, war did indeed break out. Senator Peterson was in Washington DC at the time and, much to his chagrin, was taken completely by surprise. The senator made a desperate attempt to gather his family and reach the bunker, but his small plane never arrived. The bunker might have remained lost were it not for a surviving member of the senator's family, Ben Schilling.
In the year 2077, Captain Roger Maxson left the Mariposa Military Base and traveled to the secret Lost Hills bunker for the purpose of establishing a new military order. He brought with him a loyal group of followers consisting of both military personnel and scientists. Among these was Corporal Ben Shilling. It was at this time that Maxson established the Brotherhood of Steel. As the Brotherhood grew they began to look into the possibility of expanding their operations. It was then that Ben Schilling revealed the location of the Senator Peterson's bunker. The location was filed for future use.
In the year 2231, Jeremy Maxson was leading a thriving Brotherhood of Steel. Jeremy decided that it was time to expand BOS operations into the east. He sent an expeditionary force composed of five paladins to confirm the location of Peterson's bunker. The expedition leader, Andrea Brixley, discovered the bunker, disabled its security, and opened it for habitation. For over a decade, she and her fellow paladins explored the east and forged relationships with many of the tribes that inhabited the area.
In the year 2242, Jeremy Maxson renamed the bunker after his famous ancestor, Roger Maxson. He then sent a full complement of troops for occupation. Andrea Brixley was promoted to Elder, given the rank of General, and placed in charge. The remainder of her exploratory team was given the title of Elder as well. It was not long afterward that the war with the New California Republic was announced.
For years the war waged on and was considered a victory for the Brotherhood of Steel. However, no matter how many troops fell to the Brotherhood's superior technology, the NCR always seemed to have more replacements available. The Brotherhood, however, was not so fortunate. Being an elitist group, replacements were short in arriving. It soon became obvious that the Brotherhood was doomed to lose the war to the NCR's greater numbers. Morale at the bunker began to falter as the war seemed more and more hopeless. Eventually the inevitable happened. Lower ranking members of the Brotherhood began to desert their posts.
In an effort to end the war once and for all, the Brotherhood began to use newly discovered subversive technology known as Stealth Boys. These devices could create a field of energy that would bend light around the user, thus making him virtually invisible to sight. This allowed Brotherhood operatives to penetrate deep into NCR territory for the gathering of intelligence. However, it was soon discovered that the devices had severe side effects. Paranoia, delusions, and eventual schizophrenia were the major ones. The Brotherhood disallowed the use of Stealth Boys and once again fell behind in their war effort.
Now the Brotherhood of Steel is facing yet another problem. The side effects of the Stealth Boys were not discovered until the team using them had already begun to feel their effect. When the team was disbanded, paranoia over the reason began to set in and the team plotted against their leaders. They stole the Stealth Boys, fled the bunker as deserters, and formed a covert group known as the Circle of Steel. The goal of the COS is to recover lost technology and rebuild the glory of the Brotherhood at any cost.
This area consists of a cliff wall with a camouflaged hanger set into it. Nearby is a cave entrance that leads to the bunker proper.
Level 1Edit
This level of the bunker is composed of the barracks, the gym, the armory, the motor pool, and the medical center. It is lightly populated with guards as well as some key personnel.
Level 2Edit
This level contains the living quarters for senior personnel, the kitchen, the dinning area, a meeting area, the computer room, the water purification plant, and the brig.
Level 3Edit
This level was to be the private quarters of Senator Peterson and his family. It contains a computerized library, an office, a bedroom, and a power plant.
Circle of Steel hideoutEdit
This is a random map composed of a small rural town/farm. It is here that the Circle of Steel will be confronted.

February 5, 2009
EL SEGUNDO, CA – (February 5, 2009) – The following is a statement in response to the breaking news about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer from Julie Fleshman, President and CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the only national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure.
"Our thoughts are with Justice Ginsburg today as we learn of her pancreatic cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgery and we wish her well on her recovery.
"The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in the early stages is encouraging news for all patients. However, only 20 percent of patients are diagnosed early enough to qualify for surgery. The incidental discovery of pancreatic cancer in Justice Ginsburg reminds us of the urgent need for additional research funding to find early detection methods for the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
"The Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act (H.R. 745) was introduced in Congress last week by U.S. Representatives Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL) and is the first substantive legislative effort dedicated to advancing pancreatic cancer research and addressing the critical needs facing our research community. Once enacted and fully funded it will provide a greater focus on this disease and will provide the National Cancer Institute with the tools it needs to develop the early diagnostic methods and treatments that are currently lacking for pancreatic cancer patients."
About the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the only national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The organization raises money for direct private funding of research—and advocates for more aggressive federal research funding of medical breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network fills the void of information and options by giving patients and caregivers reliable, personalized information they need to make informed decisions. We create a sense of hope and community so no one has to face pancreatic cancer alone. The organization helps support individuals and communities all across the country work together to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for pancreatic cancer.

The Judds
Naomi and Wynnona Judd
When The Judds reunited at the CMA Music Festival on a hot Nashville evening in June 2009, the reaction from the 50, 000 fans in the audience was nothing short of astounding. Wynonna had just wrapped up a fiery solo set when her mother Naomi joined her for a rare onstage performance revisiting Judds classics such as "Why Not Me," "Girls Night Out" and "Love Can Build a Bridge." Only, these songs didn't feel like "classics." To those in the crowd that night, this music felt just as revelatory as it did when The Judds first shot onto the country scene in 1984, breathing new life into the genre with their homespun, acoustic harmonies and a long trail of platinum albums and number one hits.
As the audience sang every word of those songs back to them that night 25 years later, Wynonna and Naomi realized the deep connection their music made with their fans is now stronger than ever. That experience convinced the duo it was time to give the fans exactly what they demanded. One year later, The Judds returned to the 2010 CMA Music Festival to announce The Last Encore tour, launching November 26th in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The duo's upward momentum came to a halt in October 1990 as Naomi announced she had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and would retire following a farewell tour. That 116-city trek made The Judds country music's top grossing act of 1991 and led to Their Final Concert, which became the highest rated pay-per-view special of all time. Advertisement

The second annual Stars and Stripes Military Ball is scheduled for Nov. 9 at the Stolte Shed.
Tickets for the dinner-and-dance event are $25 per person.
There are a limited number of them that will be available, and the Ball is open to general public as well as serving military, veterans and spouses.
The price of admission will include a prime rib dinner. Semi-formal attire is requested and military uniforms will be in full style.
Attendees are encouraged to bring photos from their military service.
Guests should plan on arrival at 5 p.m. with dinner service beginning at 5:30. The Cedaredge Community Methodist Church Choir will perform a military medley, and dancing will begin at 6:30 with music provided by Skip and Patty.
Tickets are available at the Shady Creek RV Park, or by calling event organizer Cathy Meskel at 856-7522.
This is the second year of the Stars and Stripes Military Ball and Meskel thinks there could be another filled-to-capacity attendance at the Stolte. The popularity of last year's event came as a bit of a surprise, she said. "I couldn't believe how many veterans there are in this community and what a big response there was to last year's ball."

Kettridge, Nicholas and Binley, Andrew and Green, Sophie M. and Baird, Andy J. (2011) Ebullition events monitored from northern peatlands using electrical imaging. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 116 (G4). ISSN 2169-8961
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Within northern peatlands, ebullition is potentially an important mechanism for the transport of methane (CH(4)) to the atmosphere. We applied electrical imaging to characterize the buildup and ebullition of biogenic gas bubbles in a spatially explicit manner. Ebullition events were monitored from a range of different peat types, with and without a vascular plant cover, under different meteorological conditions. Weekly changes in bulk electrical conductivity (sigma) were analyzed, during which variations in pore water conductivity had only a small effect on sigma. Bulk ebullition losses from the peat cores were independently measured using Mariotte regulators. The largest ebullition events were found to be spatially diffuse: the gas was released from a large volume of peat. We used a measure of the roughness of the electrical images to characterize the magnitude of gas bubble movement within each peat core. Our results show that small variations in air temperatures of 3 degrees C and variations in peat type between different microhabitats have a statistically significant influence on gas bubble dynamics.

By Jamie Dupree
It's not often that a White House publicly asks to be invited to speak to a Joint Session of Congress without working out a date with Congressional leaders. And it's not often that the Congress tells a President to find a different date. But that's what happened on Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
Just before noon, the White House announced that it had asked to speak to lawmakers on Wednesday night, September 7, in order to lay out economic growth plans.
That would be the same time on September 7 as a Republican Presidential debate.
While most news organizations automatically set the speech for that night, some of us remembered to note that Congress has to approve any plan for a President to speak in the House Chamber.
Sure enough, Speaker John Boehner wrote back later in the day to urge the President to find a different time, without even mentioning that GOP debate schedule.
"It is my recommendation that your address be held on the following evening, when we can ensure that there will be no parliamentary or logistical impediments that might detract from your remarks," Boehner said.
"From one Speaker to another...nicely done John," said former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who will be one of the eight GOP hopefuls on the stage at the Reagan Library next Wednesday night.
It's not often you see something like this played out in public.
Most people probably don't know that in order for the President to speak to the Congress, there must be an invitation - and the Congress must also approve a resolution in both the House and Senate for that purpose.
Since the House isn't back in session until next Wednesday, it would only take one objection to scuttle last mintue work on resolution for a Presidential speech, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), who is supposed to be debating his GOP colleagues, was making rumblings that he would stand in the way of any such plan.
The White House did not formally react to the Speaker's suggestion for a Thursday night speech, which would also have a major conflict - the opening game of the NFL season.
The bottom line here is that the White House played a little politics by picking the same date - and the exact same time - as the GOP debate; Republicans then played a little politics in return by offering up another date.
Maybe this is also an indication of what we're in for when it comes to partisan battling this fall; both sides ready to jab each other as often as possible, both parties pointing the finger of blame at each other.
It left us scratching our heads in the Press Gallery, wondering just what the next few months will hold in the political arena that is Washington, D.C.

Mike Brown defends the "success" of the Bengals...
Wow....take a fork and jam it in my eye.
Scouting reasons By GEOFF HOBSON January 13, 2008 As the Bengals get set to hire their third defensive coordinator under head coach Marvin Lewis in what is expected to be former Cowboys and Falcons boss Mike Zimmer, the semi-new coaching staff along with the NFL's smallest personnel department prepares for next week's scouting trip to the Senior Bowl like it has for all the others. The week is one of the milestones of the scouting season that culminates in the late April draft and with the Bengals coming off another season out of the playoffs the club continues to take heat for its lack of numbers in personnel. So if it is open season on college players, it is also open season on the Bengals. But handing out stats showing his club rates in the upper half of the NFL during the last five years when it comes to games started and played by draft picks, Bengals president Mike Brown stands by a streamlined philosophy that has yielded 11 Pro Bowlers or alternates since 1996. PRO BOWLERS OR ALTERNATES DRAFTED SINCE 1996 1996: RT Willie Anderson (first round) 1997: RB Corey Dillon (second round), KR Tremain Mack (fourth round) 1998: LB Takeo Spikes (first round) 2001: WR Chad Johnson (second round), RB Rudi Johnson (fourth round), WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (seventh round) 2002: LT Levi Jones (first round) 2003: QB Carson Palmer (first round), LG Eric Steinbach (second round), FB Jeremi Johnson (fourth round) "I think we're efficient and I don't apologize for that. I think that's what we should try to be," Brown said last week in a rare media session with Bengals.com and The Cincinnati Enquirer. "Since everyone has more scouts than we do and there are just as many (teams) below us as there are above us, is that the answer?" Brown points to the club's .525 winning percentage since Lewis became head coach in 2003, which is behind 14 teams and ahead of 17 others. In that same stretch, the 43 players the Bengals have drafted have played a total of 1,104 NFL games and started 525. The Bengals say that ranks them 11th and 12th, respectively in the league in those categories. They are higher than that in percentage of players still with the team (fifth with 67.4), percentage of players still in the NFL (fifth at 81.4 percent) and percentage of players no longer in the NFL (fifth at 18.6). After culling staff titles and descriptions from 2007 media guides, the Bengals figure teams have anywhere from 40 to 60 percent more people scouting talent. As listed in their own media guide, they give themselves six with senior vice president of player personnel Pete Brown, vice president of player personnel Paul Brown, director of football operations Jim Lippincott, director of player personnel Duke Tobin, scout Greg Seamon, and scouting consultant Bill Tobin. (They don't count former Ohio State head coach John Cooper, also listed as a scouting consultant who is a liaison to a vast network of college coaches.) When Lewis arrived in 2003, the Bengals added Seamon and expanded the travel of Bill Tobin, architect of the 1985 Super Bowl champion Bears and the Colts playoff teams of the mid-1990s. "Isn't that what matters?" Brown asked. "This is the product. Not the number of employees, but what the group as a whole produces. I would argue that we do well." Brown admits you can make numbers do whatever you want. Here is how the Bengals stack up in the AFC North over the past five seasons: PITTSBURGH at 50-30: 10 scouts and execs; ranked 31st in games played, 30th in total games started, 27th in percentage of players still with team, 31st in percentage of players still in league. BALTIMORE at 43-37: 10 scouts and execs; ranked seventh in games played, 20th in games started, first in percentage of players still with team, fourth in percentage of players still in NFL. CINCINNATI at 42-38: 6 scouts and execs; ranked 11th in games played, 12th in games started, fifth in percentage of players still with team, fifth in percentage of players still in NFL. CLEVELAND at 29-51: 15 scouts and execs; ranked 24th in games played, 23rd in games started, 26th in percentage of players still with team, 17th in percentage of players still in league. Other teams? The two top teams of the last five years, the Patriots at 66-14 and the Colts at 63-17: The Pats have 14 scouts and execs and are ranked 14th in games played, 11th in games started, 28th in percentage of players still with the team and 23rd in percentage of players still in the NFL. The Colts have 14 scouts and execs and are ranked sixth in games played, second in games started, 14th in percentage of players still with the team and eighth in percentage still in the NFL. It's not a simple computation. The Cardinals lead the NFL in total games started by draft picks since 2003 and have a 28-52 record. The Broncos, with 11 scouts and execs, have blown the most picks in that stretch with only 45.9 percent of their 37 selections still in the NFL. Yet they have the fifth-best record in the league at 49-31. So it is clearly a mix of veterans, free agents, scheme, coaching, continuity, injury, and, as Brown sees it, having the most important piece, the quarterback. "And we have a good one," Brown said of Carson Palmer. In fact, when the new owner of the Patriots came to Cincinnati several years ago to have dinner with Brown and pick his brain on what an NFL team needs to succeed, Brown told Bob Kraft, "The two most important things you need are a good coach and a good quarterback." And Brown feels he has both in Lewis and Palmer, but he restricted last week's interview to one piece of the puzzle. Personnel. "When you talk about the Bengals, I don't think anyone is saying they aren't able to find talent," said Rob Rang, senior analyst of NFLDraftScout.com. "They've made solid picks. They usually don't reach. Given their small staff, it would seem that they work well with Marvin and his coaches. You take a pick like David Pollack (first round in 2005) and I remember people were saying how that was the safest, most solid pick in the draft because of his motor, skill and he's such a good kid." But Pollack (broken neck), like 2004 first-rounder Chris Perry (ankle) and 2007 second-rounder Kenny Irons (ACL) have been cursed by injury. "We've had some good drafts that have been hugely impacted by injuries," Brown said. "We've had more than our share and they've been devastating. Not for one year or half a season, but longer. Maybe even career-ending. It's hard to explain why that has been so, but it has been." Rang says the problem others point to about a small staff is the character issue. And the Bengals have been bit by that, particularly in the '05 draft where off-field problems for just Odell Thurman and Chris Henry alone have cost them 42 games in NFL suspensions. "When I've talked to other teams, they tell me how much interviewing now has to be done at the school visits for character," Rang said. "Not just coaches, but trainers, equipment guys, tutors. If you've got a small staff, that may be too much for one guy, and maybe some of that stuff isn't discovered." The Bengals say they've known about the character flaws before the draft and that they simply took the gamble. No more, Lewis has been saying. But Rang gives them high grades for second-day finds. He agrees that critics can't have it both ways. The Bengals can't be ripped as underachievers that have no talent. Nine of the 11 starters on an offense that has finished sixth, eighth, and 10th in the NFL the past three seasons are draft picks. Brown also points to regulars since 2000 drafted on the second day, ranging from long snapper Brad St. Louis to Pro Bowl wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, running back Rudi Johnson to strong safety Chinedum Ndukwe, and defensive linemen Domata Peko and Jonathan Fanene. "Obviously our staff is uncovering these players and since we have so many of them, they must be doing it reasonably well," Brown said. There has been a media buzz that Lewis is unhappy with the personnel situation, but there is no evidence that what Lewis wants is a general manager. He seems satisfied that there are no layers between himself and the three people that incorporate the job of GM in Brown, executive vice president Katie Blackburn and vice president Troy Blackburn. Indications are the buzz may be about adding a scout or two dedicated just to pro personnel. The Bengals are one of the few teams that don't divide their department into college and pro. There are seven other teams that don't have a pro personnel director, including the Patriots. The Bengals argue that it's advantageous for scouts to be well versed in both the college and pro game in order to keep perspective in judging which players can make the jump. Plus, Brown says the Bengals are one of approximately 13 NFL teams using PROSCOUT, Inc., "that we use as a starting point." (The Bengals also use National Football Scouting, Inc. A total of 11 teams provide a scout. The other eight, including Cincinnati, pay an additional fee equivalent to the total costs of one scout in lieu of club scout costs.) Brown believes the Bengals have the NFL covered as well as the colleges. They can point as recently to this past year when they identified veteran linebackers Lemar Marshall and Dhani Jones off the street who made key contributions. Or go back to 2003 when they took their franchise kicker, Shayne Graham, off the waiver wire. "With the communications you have today, we don't have a scout that's not a button away," Brown said. "And we use our coaches more than maybe others do in personnel decisions." There is no question that the Bengals do that in both college and pro scouting and Brown is going to continue to do it even though the argument persists it is too much on coaches nowadays because the Xs and Os have ballooned. The anti-coach argument is that it takes too much time for an assistant before free agency and during the season to break down prospects on film and grade them. But the Bengals argue that their scouts do a lot of the ground work for free agency during the preseason when they watch tape of all the other teams in trying to anticipate the final roster moves. The scouting then continues during the season when they scout the Bengals' own games. Plus, Duke Tobin spends a day or two in the office each week during the season setting up the pro board before going out on his weekly college visits. Meanwhile, Paul Brown sets up weekly tryouts at the stadium by players on the street. Mike Brown thinks the coaches' involvement is extremely important and he thinks they like being involved so heavily. He recalls in the 2001 draft how new offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski was the crucial guy in the decision to choose between wide receivers Chad Johnson and Chris Chambers in the second round. Bratkowski was just fresh off working with Johnson in the Senior Bowl as his last act as the Steelers receivers coach and was so impressed with Johnson's sheer physical abilities and love for the game. "I don't think so," said Brown when asked if the work load is too much for the coaches. "We don't have (players) here until mid-March. "This gives them access to the pool of players they potentially could be dealing with. They want to have that. It's important that they have a voice in who comes here." The coaches don't make half as many college visits during March and April as they did before Lewis arrived in 2003. They check out the top 10 prospects or so at their position. The scouts are on the road all fall and hit nearly every prospect. Lippincott visits the Midwest during the season. Duke Tobin works Oklahoma and Texas and everything West. Bill Tobin has the Southeast. Seamon has the East Coast. Come the all-star games, they begin to cross-check each other's players. By the time the scouts and coaches head to Indianapolis for the scouting combine in late February, the coaches will already have three separate reports on each prospect. "By the time we make the pick, we'll have six, seven, eight opinions," Mike Brown said. This gets to the heart of Brown's management philosophy. Far from wielding an iron fist with a closed mind, Brown has a full room on draft day between all the coaches and scouts and he listens to everyone and anyone before each pick. He has the final say. But on many NFL teams, the assistant coaches and even some scouts are sitting in their own offices Draft Day watching it on TV. Brown's door is wide open. That's the way his father did it, too. Former long-time Bengals offensive line coach Jim McNally still remembers how he could burst into Paul Brown's office at any moment of the day raving about his newest find on the scouting trail. "I didn't put my feet on the desk," said McNally, but he could have. And that is Mike Brown's attitude on titles. "I couldn't tell you what titles there are. But I can tell you what people do around here. I don't even know what my title is altogether," Brown said. "When it came to Jim and Duke to pick their titles a few years ago, I asked them what they wanted to be called. I know who's here and I know what they do and that's what matters to me. Not what they want to be called or what their titles are." But Brown does know this is open season on him and his staff. "There is more than one way to skin a cat," Brown said. "The end results, I think, that we do pretty well." "We didn't succeed. We had a disappointing year. And there are going to be reasons offered up for that. The current theme is, 'Well, we don't have enough scouts.' Come back next year and if we disappoint again there'll be another reason. It goes with the territory. I think in this area, this theme is not properly understood." Wow....what an incompetent idiot. All this "success" in the Mike Brown way and 1 winning season in 17 years.

Re: Mike Brown defends the success of the franchise...
Not to get off topic, but I got a good chuckle out of a headline at Bengals.com. It says Bengals tickets still below NFL average. I instantly had a mental headline of Bengals play still below NFL average. Wouldn't it be great if a team's ticket prices were determined by their record.

Efficient Mediocrity. There's a tag line to be proud of.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance. |

It's almost like Carl Lindner owns the Bengals. There are two kinds of owners, Mike Brown types and those who believe teams that win make money. It is a novel concept that every Brown since Paul has seemed to ignore.

Re: Mike Brown defends the "success" of the Bengals...
I'm so glad that they're "efficient," as if we should care?
I also like he only references the time Lewis has been here now as the franchises' measuring stick. As if they're doing things so much differently now than they were before he was hired. Are we not supposed to be disappointed in one winning season in 5 years? People just need to give up on the Bengals' and either adopt another NFL team or enjoy the area's college teams/programs, and quit spending money on that horse's a$$ and his lame franchise. They will never, ever having a winning run again. It just isn't going to happen with an owner that lazy and with those low standards. He just doesn't get it at all and never has. |

No, I don't wish any harm to the man. However, as a football fan, it is rather obvious we literally have to wait for this man to pass away before any changes ever take place to this team. We still have Katie waiting in the wings so there is still no guarentee anything would change.

Good to know Mike Brown is responsible for the Patriots dynasty. Kraft probably never thinks of getting a good coach and a good QB without the guidance of Mr. Brown.

I despise Mike Brown as well. It's amazing how one man can stifle the happiness of millions. I love the Bengals and always will. I sometimes wish I could stop rooting for them, but I can't. Just like the Reds, it's in my blood. There's no way I can stop rooting for them. I just wish they didn't have an evil owner.

Whitaker Running for U.S. SenateBy James Lynch, Reporter
DES MOINES, Iowa – With the exit of 4th District Rep. Steve King from the field of potential Republican U.S. Senate candidates, others who have been waiting in the wings are stepping forward.
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Red Oak, said Monday she "continues to evaluate" making a run in 2014 for the Senate seat that will be vacant when Sen. Tom Harkin retires at the end of his current term. "As a veteran who has served our country, I feel it is my duty to consider a run for the U.S. Senate," Ernst, a second-term senator, said in a statement Monday. Former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker told a radio audience he's in the race for the GOP nomination and will file his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission this week. "I think I'm the person to do that," Whitaker said about running for Senate. Also, Ames attorney Paul Lunde, who lost to former Rep. Neal Smith in 1992 by a 62 percent to 37 percent margin, also announced he intends to run. First District Rep. Bruce Braley is the only Democrat who has announced for the seat. He has Harkin's endorsement. Whitaker said early on that he would not get into the race if King ran, but that if the western Iowa conservative took a pass, he would compete for the nomination. The former University of Iowa football player was an unsuccessful candidate for state treasurer in 2002 is a managing partner in Whitaker Hagenow & Gustoff LLP, a law firm with offices in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. While Whitaker, 43, has made his decision, Ernst said she will be discussing a possible campaign with Iowans and praying with her family before making any decision. She and her husband, Gail, have three daughters. "I greatly appreciate the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement I have received from my family, friends, and supporters," she said. Among those encouraging her to explore a Senate campaign is Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, who Ernst succeeded in the Senate. "I've always been involved in encouraging and strengthening the bench of the Republican Party, especially encouraging females to get involved in the political process," Reynolds said at a news conference May 6. "So I don't think it would be uncharacteristic of me to reach out to Sen. Ernst." However, she's not encouraging Ernst just because she's a woman and Iowa has never elected a woman to federal office. Reynolds pointed out that she also encouraged Ernst to run for the state Senate and, before that, county office. Ernst, 42, the former Montgomery County auditor, has 18 years of experience in the Army Reserves and Iowa National Guard where she is a lieutenant colonel. She is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. She earned a bachelor's degree from Iowa State University and an MBA from Columbus College. In weighing the Senate bid, Ernst said she believe "there are critical issues that must be addressed such as out-of-control spending and debt." Among others rumored to be eyeing the race are Secretary of State Matt Schultz, Sen. Chuck Grassley's chief of staff, David Young and former Reliant Energy CEO Mark Jacobs.

iPhone 5 activation?????
Hello, I have a quick question about the iPhone 5, and activation.
My friend says he qualifies for the Sprint upgrade to an iPhone 5. He says he doesn't want it, and wants to sell it to me instead. If I were to buy this phone, I would just use it with wifi and not activate it with a cellular plan. (I have my reasons for not buying an ipod touch instead, one of which is that the iphone has more features) I was wondering if it is possible for him to activate the phone when he picks it up, then deactivates it the next day to give it to me? I know it is necessary to have the phone activated in order to use it at all for anything, because the iPhone setup screen requires activation before letting you into the interface. I am confused if there will be any problems with that, such as Sprint not deactivating it due to they want the monthly payments. Or perhaps you can only deactivate it for a certain amount of time? Just to reiterate I do not want to activate it at all with sprint. Hopefully somebody can clarify this for me.... Thanks for reading through this long post haha EDIT: btw I heard from somebody on another forum that sprint will declare it a bad ESD phone if not activated.. Is that true? And if it is that wouldn't really effect usability would it?

Why don't you ask sprint to make 100% sure? They couldn't give less of a damn where the phone is going and who it's going to be used by, as long as they've locked your friend down for 2 more years.

Are you finished with physical media?
It was just the other day when I had a conversation with CNET Senior Editor David Katzmaier about movies, and he told me he was getting rid of nearly all of his DVDs and Blu-rays. Whoa, that news hit me hard; Katzmaier has reviewed a gazillion TVs and loves movies, but he no longer feels a need to keep the discs.
I know it makes sense for a lot of folks, but not me. I like having my stuff around, and I like the process of selecting music from my huge collection. It's pretty organized, so I can find most titles in a few seconds, but I also like just randomly pulling up something, and holding the cover in my hands. I have a strong attachment to this stuff, and I don't want to ever let it all go.… Read more

Skyrim Mod To Perform Dragon Shouts IRL w/ Mic
These are a couple videos from Geekologie Reader/Skyrim lover Benjamin S. of a mod he created that allows the PC version of the game to accept dragon shout commands through a microphone.

Young Girl Safe Following Home Abduction, Suspect Arrested
Antioch resident David Allen Douglas is arrested Friday evening, Jan. 3, 2014 after police issue Amber Alert for 7-year-old girl later found safe.
Police arrested a 43-year-old Antioch man in connection with the armed abduction of 7-year-old Natalie Calvo in Antioch on Friday night.
At about 6:45 p.m., the suspect, later identified as David Allen Douglas, abducted the 7-year-old girl from in front of her home in the 3800 block of Hummingbird Drive, according to police.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Douglas had followed Natalie and her mother to their residence from a nearby Walmart, kidnapping the young girl just after she arrived home, police said.
A description of the suspect and the suspect vehicle, a gold 1990s four-door Toyota Camry, was obtained and an Amber Alert was initiated for Alameda, Contra Costa, Sacramento, Solano and San Joaquin counties, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The suspect had been described as a Filipino man between 40 and 50 years old, wearing a black beanie and possibly armed with a black rifle, the CHP said.
Investigators followed up on leads and were able to identify Douglas as the suspect. Officers found his vehicle in the parking lot of the Antioch Marina later in the night.
Douglas was inside the car with Natalie when police found the vehicle.
He was taken into custody and Natalie was brought to safety without incident, police said.
According to police, Natalie had no apparent injuries and was promptly reunited with her family.
Police are continuing to investigate the abduction.
Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Detective Joannides with the Antioch Police Department at 925-779-6931.

If you don't have it yourself, you probably know someone who does, the flu is hitting the area hard this season - and filling hospital emergency departments. But as YNN's Kaitlyn Lionti tells us, they're not the best place for most flu patients to go.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — There's no doubt, it can make you feel miserable, but the Erie County Health Commissioner says typical flu symptoms don't necessarily warrant a trip to the ER.
"The emergency departments right now are really overflowed. They're really overwhelmed. Emergency departments are true to their name – they're for emergencies, it's not just any illness, it's for people who are very, very sick," said Dr. Gale Burstein, Erie County Health Commissioner.
Burstein says health professionals are seeing more cases of the flu earlier this year.
"There's been a large increase in the actual volume with flu-like symptoms that have been coming in and out of the emergency department," said Dr. Joseph Bart of ECMC.
While Bart says ECMC is concerned with everyone who comes in, they have to prioritize patients, so those with flu symptoms are waiting several hours.
"You are not only at risk of coming here to spread those around to other people, but at the same time, you're coming into a hospital that's not necessarily shy of having its own alternative infections as well, especially when your immune system is already a little bit down," said Bart.
If you think you have the flu, Burstein says you should get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, take ibuprofen or Tylenol around the clock to keep your fever down and stay home.
She says if you think you need to be evaluated, you should call your primary care doctor first, or go to an immediate care facility.
"Your wait time will be less and you're less likely to come in contact with all these communicable diseases," said Burstein.
Burstein says though it's unclear why this flu season is different, she says there are two new strains circulating, "Since they're new, we've never been exposed to them before, and unless you've had a flu vaccine you are not immune," she said.
But Burstein says it's not too late to get a flu shot - so you can be better prepared to beat the bug.
