Matt Zahn is WJBF News Channel 6's Sports Director and weekday evening Sports Anchor at 6pm and 11pm, as well as for WJBF News Channel 6 on the CW at 10pm.
Matt Zahn is our new Sports Director, taking over for Chris Kane who made the move to Good Morning Augusta.
Matt comes to us from Wisconsin and brings with him over a decade of experience covering local sports. He is a huge golf fan, and says now that he lives in a place where you can golf almost year round, he hopes to get better at playing the game instead of just watching it on TV.
Matt has covered some of the biggest events in sports like the Super Bowl and Rose Bowl, but says some of his greatest experiences have come covering a local high school team celebrating a state championship.
When Matt's not at the station, he'll most likely be somewhere with his wife and 2-year old daughter Nicolette, who not surprisingly takes up a majority of his leisure time and according to Matt, cuts into his golf time. Matt and his family are looking forward to living in the South, especially when winter rolls around.

Being Waldo in the Yellow SeaPosted Saturday, February 16, 2008, at 8:59 PM
You just wait.
Yes, this is just one of the exciting questions I've received since moving to this crazy land of communism.
Who the heck asks that question, anyway?
This question was asked just moments before my nasal phallus was assaulted by an attractive hip-hop looking Asian woman. I could only stammer in confusion as she did so. What was I going to say? No? The fact that some men probably dream to have their appendages rubbed by hot Asian women would mean my complaints are null and void because while the sensation is not normal by our standards, it's definitely enjoyable. This makes all the difference.
This takes us to the next question. "Why did she want to touch your nose?"
You know what? Who knows. I often hope that by rubbing my nose I will become instantly lucky, or that it will stem it from popping out like Pinocchio's schnoz. But I think it comes down to the fact that cultures view different things as attractive.
In America, everyone strips buck naked and lays inside a booth which emits UV lights so that they can look exotic. Women and men alike spend hundreds of dollars to crispify themselves like waffle fries and spread brown ooze all over their bodies. We assume that everyone does these strange procedures and it's true, but the real fault is assuming that everyone likes the same color we do. Everyone's doing the same thing, they're just doing different colors. People want to make themselves look different. If everyone was purple, we'd aim for green.
When you flip the ball and go to a culture where everyone is brown and yellow, you find that they actually *like* being white. This comes to a surprise to me who has often been ridiculed for my albino-like complexion. They spend 1000's of dollars on creams to make their skin *whiter*&. Females walk around with umbrellas during summer. And do you know WHY? It's not to keep the rain out, it's to keep the sun at bay from making them tan. They complain about tans like it's a viral infection!
& - Special Note, If you're Irish and find it impossible to tan. Come to Asia. You will be worshiped.
This color phenomenon often makes me wonder if China has an obsession with WHITE. It's not just the obsession of skin, but of every aspect of my daily life. Every wall is white. People don't paint their houses like in trading spaces, they just leave it white. When it's dirty? Paint it again. More white! The floors are always a pearl-colored white tile which means that someone has to walk around with a mop 24/7 to clean it so that it shines like your aunty's dentures. While I admit that it looks nice when it's clean, it's dirty 80% of the time. But this doesn't seem to be a problem.
More updates coming.

Delaware State Police say they have arrested five teenagers in connection to the abduction of an 89-year-old woman forced into the trunk of her own car and left there for two days.
The teenagers are as young as 14 and no older than 17.
The police investigation started Tuesday when troopers met with a relative of the victim who reported her missing.
Police have identified the victim as Margaret Smith.
Relatives grew concerned when a neighbor reported seeing Smith get into her car and leave her home.
A day later on Wednesday morning, police were called to a cemetery on Calvary Road on the report of an elderly woman seen wandering around graves. Police say they identified the woman as Smith, and reported she seemed confused.
Later that evening, investigators met with Smith, who was able to recall being approached on Monday by two girls at the Chicken Man convenience store in Milford. Police say the two girls asked for a ride and Smith agreed. But when they arrived at a home in Lincoln, police say the two girls demanded that Smith give them the keys. The girls managed to get the keys from Smith during a struggle and then forced her into the trunk of her car and drove off, investigators said.
At one point, police say the girls took $500 from her coat pocket.
After two days, Smith was dropped off at the cemetery.
Police say as Smith was recalling what happened to her, troopers in Bridgeville pulled over her car in a routine traffic stop. Five teenagers, including the two girls accused of locking her in her trunk, were inside at the time of the stop.
The five teens all face various charges related to the abduction.

We have configured the ADS on our ECC6 environment by using BW JAVA.
For this we have imported the SSL license in both the system.

Hi Raj
One way to check if the port 443 on BW Java is responding is to do a
telnet <BW Java IP > 443 from your ECC host.
After entering a userid / password if you get a response it means you can reach else there is an issue with the connectivity.
Use this note to troubleshoot any ADS issues SAP Note 944221 , it has a step by step process.
Amit Padmawar
check this link too
Amit Padmawar
Hi Raj,
One question that might give some idea:
Is BW JAVA running on Unix.. If so on port 443 ? .. The reason I ask that you can't bind 443 on Unix for JAVA systems to <sid>adm of BI JAVA.. You can use a web dispatcher for access via port 443 or else use some kind reverse proxy or use port forwarding rules in case of Linux particularly but it is not straightforward like ABAP systems which use external ICM bind and in case of JAVA the port would never get bound. So please check. may be just wrong hostname/port combination is being used.
If of course this is Windows then it lot more easy.
It's windows 2008.
Also we have done telnet it working fine.
What more can do at firewall side.
Hi Raj,
Please go to browser and check if https;//jetbpcd.jw.com:443 is working. I am assuming that 'jetbpcd.jw.com' is the BW hostname.
And to check it please login into the server where your ECC server is running.
Yes at ecc server side url with port 50001 is working but not with 443.
Hi Raj,
50001 is the default https port from SAP. And it seems that this is what BW JAVA is using..in the RFC destination ADS_HTTPS (http type)why are you then using port 443 insterad of 50001. Please try using 50001
Regards. Ruchit.
Also please remember 443 is the standard IANA port.Whereas as for SAP standard https port is 5xx01 where xx is the instance number.
Hello Raj,
SMICM wil work for ABAP systems only i.e ECC in thiscase. BW JAVA will never have ICM hence checking SMICM is useless.You are connecting from ABAP to JAVA so ICM is out of window.Inthe RFCz destination type G give service number as 50001 !!
Check this link:
Hi Ruchit,
We have used 50001 as service number for ADS rfc.
Is there any firewall options needs to check.
R Mav
Hi Raj,
May be I am thinking in the wrong direction.Has been a while I configured ADS. Anyways let us try.
Which host is 'jetbpcd.jw.com'? also what type of RFC destination is being used. And in the `1st post you have mentioned ICM log
Thr 4652] *** WARNING => Connection request from (17/30/0) to host: <BW HOSTNAMEj>, service: 443 failed (NIECONN_REFUSE
What is this value ?
<BW HOSTNAMEj>,
What is ur ICM_HOST__NAME_FULL parameter.Is it same as
<BW HOSTNAMEj> or is the ECC hostname ?
The jetbpcd is BW java url and it's the BW hostname
RFC destination is of type G.
icm/host_name_full=ECC hostname.
Hi Ruchit,
When we are doing PDF testing thru SE38 system asking user id password and also url is not opening http://jetbpcd.jetairways.com:8000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config
It is working with url https://jetbpcd.jw.com:50001/index.html
and yes it is BW java url

Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josef Glacier
The World > Pacific Ocean Islands > Polynesia > New Zealand
The Franz Josef and Fox glaciers are unusual in that they terminate at such a low altitude (300m above sea level) and are surrounded by rainforest. The Franz Josef glacier has retreated on average over the last 70 years, although at times it has advanced at a rate of 70cm per day. It is believed to have extended to the sea around 15,000 years ago.

Forever has always existed.
In the mythology of Oceanic peoples, it's been there along with Darkness and the Sea.
The Earth came from the efforts of Old Spider, who soared over the endless sea and found a giant clam. She opened it and crawled inside, finding a snail there to share the space with her. She set the snail in the west and made it into the Moon to shed some light into the darkness. Together they raised up the top of the clam shell to make the sky, pushing it until it was wide open.
Then they pushed the bottom half of the clam shell in the other direction to make the ground. The earth was called Papa and the sky Ranga. These are the two first beings who created all the flowers, plants, trees and animals on the islands, and fish in the sea.
They celebrated all their open space by making as many beautiful creatures as they could imagine, but they still remained separated by the work of the original Old Spider. Each night, Ranga weeps for his beloved Papa earth, and this is where the morning dew comes from.
Polynesia means "many islands" and when you see these pictures, you will want to visit all of them. To make it simple, the islands sit in a triangle described by connecting Hawaii, New Zealand and Easter Island.
There are over a thousand of these islands of surfer's paradise in the central and south Pacific Ocean. It's stunning. Look at the color of the water here! And the sunset... these speak for themselves. Could you be happy in this little house? How about some reef diving inside a lagoon?
Put this one in full screen and don't come back. Love, 360.

It doesn't matter how much money gets donated to the school to try and keep it open. As long as you have thugs running the place, it'll just be right back in the same situation a year from now.

It seems like there's a move to shut down small schools that parents are happy with, even if they are blue ribbon schools.July 18, 2011 at 9:07 a.m.
Wow! How upsetting! If I had the $ to throw away....I'd definitely pass it on to tge school to pay off the amount umaccounted for because I have heard nothing but great things about outreach! They even teach a few foreign languages! They have great teachers, a great reward system that teaches children responsibilites, structure, & how to be self disciplined! Also, I didn't hear them complaining about the students state test scores! I believe it will be a detriment to our community if this school were to shut down, Especially if the ONLY problem they're having is with money & it seems like that's finally been corrected! Give them a chance to get back on their feet! My 3 year old daughter will be attending all day this year too, & she's SUPER DUPER excited!July 18, 2011 at 8:40 a.m.
My son goes to Outreach Academy and will be attending next year if they do not close.. I hope they do get out of this because I really like this school and the atmosphere there...May 18, 2011 at 11:20 p.m.

It is sad when a business manager can't keep a book without software.
It's simple.
Here let me show you a very simple way. All you need is paper and a pencil.
Start at the top of the paper with $780,000 and account for every dollar spent on everyline below it or every dollar that will be spent.
Plus keep records of every dollar spent or to be spent so when you are audited they equal each other.May 18, 2011 at 4:22 p.m.

President of Estonia Rips Paul Krugman: 'Smug, Overbearing and Patronizing'

After getting trashed by the British Telegraph and schooled by a member of Parliament last month, the Nobel laureate took to attacking the Republic of Estonia Wednesday only to be slammed in return by its President Toomas Hendrik Ilves via Twitter hours later:
Let's write about something we know nothing about & be smug, overbearing & patronizing: after all, they're just wogs: krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/est…— toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012
Guess a Nobel in trade means you can pontificate on fiscal matters & declare my country a "wasteland". Must be a Princeton vs Columbia thing— toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012
But yes, what do we know? We're just dumb & silly East Europeans. Unenlightened. Someday we too will understand. Nostra culpa.— toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012
Let's sh*t on East Europeans: their English is bad, won't respond & actually do what they've agreed to & reelect govts that are responsible.— toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012
What drew the President's ire was something Krugman posted at his blog Wednesday: "Since Estonia has suddenly become the poster child for austerity defenders — they're on the euro and they're booming! — I thought it might be useful to have a picture of what we're talking about."
After presenting a chart of Estonia's Gross Domestic Product since 2007, Krugman wrote, "So, a terrible — Depression-level — slump, followed by a significant but still incomplete recovery. Better than no recovery at all, obviously — but this is what passes for economic triumph?"
As Hot Air noted, "That post was in turn a Keynesian belch at this widely linked Global Post story describing how Estonia managed to kickstart rapid economic growth while the rest of Europe got sucked into a black hole. Three words: 'Austerity, austerity, austerity.'"
Those that have been paying attention know that currently nothing bothers Krugman more than austerity despite him clearly not understanding that few countries in Europe are actually practicing it.
It must really be getting under his knickers that a real case of austerity across the Atlantic is showing genuine success.
As for Ilves, he was was born in Sweden, but grew up in New Jersey.
No academic slouch he, for after graduating valedictorian of his high school, Ilves received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Columbia University and a master's degree psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. He's also fluent in Estonian, English, German, and Spanish.
In his final salvo concerning Krugman, Ilves linked to an article he wrote for the Hoover Institution in March:
We would not be in the mess we are in today in Europe if a large number of fellow member states had not taken a fundamentally different tack to thrift, deficits, and borrowing than what they themselves agreed to only a couple of years earlier. My country would never, ever have been able to adopt the euro had we done what was standard operating procedure among many members of the eu-17. At the same time, I would aver that there is little in the fundamental approach taken by Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia, Finland, or Austria that differs from what such noneuro countries as Sweden, Denmark, and Poland have been doing. My country would never have been able to adopt the euro had we done what was standard among many in the EU.
Thus the institutional arrangements and the behavior of countries do not jibe. I submit this is unsustainable. For ultimately, the inability or unwillingness of parts of the eu-17 to submit to agreed-upon rules will be defended by an appeal to the position that "our democracy cannot withstand the kind of austerity demanded of us." The first shoots of this position we have already seen emerge. Yet let us be clear about what this means: Fiscally responsible countries will be asked to support fiscally profligate countries in the name of democracy.
You can do it for a while, but if you are a country like Estonia, where the gdp per capita is almost the same as Greece but where the average salary is lower than the Greek minimum wage and where the pensions and agricultural supports within an internal market are three times lower, it is a matter of time before our voters revolt. The government in my country and the opposition voted to support the European Financial Stability Facility to aid a country richer than us and profligate. Three quarters of the parliament voted in favor. But, note: 75 percent of the population was against.
Here we see in my own country the first seeds of the populism that has recently caused concern throughout the north — in the Netherlands, in Denmark, in Sweden and most recently also in Finland. Sorry, it's not just the democracies of the south that are under threat. The bankrolling of Southern Europe has already and ever-increasingly threatened the fiscally responsible countries, the ones who have shown solidarity and voted to commit to bailing out those better off than we. Moreover, while much has been made of the change of governments in countries that broke the rules, far too little attention has been paid to what to my mind is a far more significant reverberation: the fall of a responsible, poor, new member state government coalition (in Slovakia) that made the hard choice and voted to support a country richer than it is, all for the sake of European solidarity.
How'd you like to see Ilves debate geoeconomics with the 'smug, overbearing and patronizing' Krugman?
All those in favor say "Aye."

I think he is the only "name" in libdom that actually put pen to paper to win his award. So this means his cant possibly be as fake or politically motivated as every single other leftie award and therefor must mean he is a super smart guy. Where are our conservative scientists? why not start an honest award based on merit, instead of who can make marx look like itll work on paper best

Krugman is just another left wing demagogue
Submitted by Mark81150 on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 6:25am.
Who was rewarded by the Nobel Committe for being hardcore left wing enough to feed their prejudices. This from his Wiki page.
"] In 2008, Krugman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography. According to the Nobel Prize Committee, the prize was given for Krugman's work explaining the patterns of international trade and the geographic concentration of wealth, by examining the impact of economies of scale and of consumer preferences for diverse goods and services.[9]"
so... he won this for a lefty circle jerk of economic theory that doesn't have to work or be proven.. just so long as it fits the narrative of the intertrashanal left. Which is.. Keynesian theory rules because we love spending the serf's cash while blaming them for all the sins we commit. Couch it in new speak enough to hide it's real meaning and sell it to the western public as a shiny new theory which hasn't already failed everywhere every time it's tried..
Krugman won a Nobel like Obama did.. he says what the left adores to hear..
that every problem is the fault of free market democratic republics... right down to Saddam Hussein shooting a child in the face.. it's always the center right that are too blame.. while the left is as pure as the driven snow.. ..................................... while those same euro pols who lied about Saddam's food for oil program lined their pockets with bribes from his skirting the sanctions... are sitting back and letting europe fall apart because they will not do what works to fix their economies.. and Krugman's halfbaked theories are their excuse. If only they waste another couple of trillion..
They know it'll work this time...
and if we're lucky they won't drag us down like a drowning victim hanging on the lifeguards neck... not take us with them.
Krugman is a zealot, a fanatical fool wedded to a dead theory that has NEVER worked.

"Tall Building Alert" for Krugman
Submitted by ChrisNH on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 6:25am.
In the end, Krugman is nothing but a newspaper hack who got a 'Nobel' from fellow back-slapping Leftists. In other words, a Nobel is no more an accomplishment than getting a 'Local TV News Emmy.'
But the haughty, faculty-lounge elite Krugman must be wondering from which rooftop to jump. His arguments: FROM deaf ears TO deaf ears.

Speaking as a native
Submitted by From Estonia With Love on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 6:50am.
Speaking as a native Estonian, I do admit this story makes me chuckle. Our president is usually very reserved, almost to the point of awkwardness, so seeing his human side is as funny as it is understandable.
Things here Estonia have been rough but are steadily improving. I don't know whether we can thank austerity for that or our export partners but the fact is, Estonia is beginning to pull itself out from an economic hole without significant stimulus.
However I don't think American conservatives are right in setting us as an example, mainly because Estonia has such things as nationalized medical care, free higher education and compulsory military service. Yes, our national debt is non-existent but if we look into the private sphere, things look a bit different.
But overall, I am comfortable with our president giving Krugman the smackdown because I think that little weasel deserves it – if not for past sins then most certainly as a proactive measure.

non-existent national debt?
Submitted by oldfart on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 9:08am.
Be thankful - my great grand children will still be trying to pay off the debt this mental midget is leaving us.
And believe me there is nothing wrong with compulsory military service.
I have noticed a lot of changed attitudes since the draft was eliminated here. There is a lot to be said for 'national service' and putting spiled brats in an environment where they MUST consider how their actions influence others.
Now we have a nation where a significant portion of the population has an attitude that the world moves to their beck and call.

I took your post to mean you were born in Estonia and still live there. We get a significant number of fakers on NB. So it's impossible to know for certain if you really are from Estonia, but I promise I'm not about to insult you! :)
Your command of the English language is fantastic. Since English is a seconday language in Estonia, you could be quite proficient at it, and Estonians tend to be quite highly educated. But you also used a few Americanized terms I would not expect you to be familiar with, which somewhat suprised me. There could also be several reasons for that. All that said, I will resist the urge to quiz you (ha) and just assume you're the real deal -- because my message to all Estonians is what is important with this post.
My apologies to Estonians (and their leadership) for this daffy Krugman guy, who has no business (nor is it any of his business) commenting on a country he understands so little. Many of us here don't even feel like he understands America!
Although there are some tenants in Estonian society I don't agree with, Estonia is a gorgeous country with so many friendly and sincere people. There are also quite a few things to admire in Estonia's historic background and in the current-day aspects of Estonian culture.
So again, sorry about the weasel. Most Americans don't want his ilk representing our views/ideas on other countries, and we certainly don't need to be ticking off countries for no good reason whatsoever.

Economic's bad name is not well deserve. Among many other lesser reasons, I think when there started being two 'Economic' classes in colleges it started going down hill. There was the business school Economics which was still a decent course but then they started Economics in the Liberal Arts programs. The students graduating classes learned more about failed economic systems than Capitalism but graduated thinking they had at least a basic understanding of Economics - obviously untrue.

The eyes are the window to the soul. Look carefully at Krugman's eyes next time you see him on TV spouting inanities. The Nobel prizes today? Let's see who has won, or should I say, been gifted with the award? Obama, Krugman.....who will be next, The Octomom? Ed Schultz? The award for economics and for peace has been dumbed down to a purely (Leftist) political statement. A sad commentary on today's society.

Krugman is scared....
Submitted by c5then on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 8:44am.
This world-wide fiscal crisis could spell the end of Keynesian economics unless he and his MSM friends make sure to spin and lie and hide the actual data.
Those who are still trying to use Keynesian principles are mired in stagnant economies and massive unsustainable debt and are on the verge of collapse. Those who have returned to more conservative, common sense principles as espoused by Van Hayek are seeing growth, lowering of their debt and sustainable economies.
This is the picture that Krugman and others wish to muddy and make cloudy.
Keynes has the same problem as Marx...As stated clearly and succinctly by Margaret Thatcher : "Eventually you run out of other people's money".

The new standard
Submitted by jon_torlin on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 9:05am.
This should be the new standard of today with Nobel "winners" at least for the most part(some of the lesser known ones related to true science and etc would be harmed by this kind of reputation) where someone gets a prize that is, using common sense which is a trait that's sorely lacking in the Nobel Committee, pretty much meaningless.
If terrorists and dictators are getting this award, and may Nobel rest in peace as he must be spinning in his grave, why even bother with this, just create a new award or strike the name "peace" from it, or something. The most obvious example of this was giving it to Obeyme two months after he usurps the potus, and now he's known as the executioner in other countries by use of the drones and loves snuff films and other various things.
From now one, any time I see someone (or something equated to a gasbag) with a Nobel award, I'm looking at someone who does not deserve a modicum of respect, someone who should be ignored, or at least just placed in a room of other like-minded people which would have to be an insane asylum. That or dictators and thugs.

yep, that's a perfect description of an elitist liberal. Krugman, propped up by what is now recognized as a utterly bullshit excuse for legitimacy disguised as an international achievement award, is steadily talking himself into irrelevence. Economics is bullshit, too. Nobody can predict what people will think about the stock market or what they're going to spend their money on or if they'll spend it at all. Just like statistics, they can get paid to pontificate all day long and never be wrong. Why aren't our public schools and colleges teaching our kids to look past the bullshit instead of propping it up?

RALEIGH — In front of a pink-attired crowd raising money for breast cancer research through game proceeds and wares, St. David's volleyball team swept Eastern Plains Independent Conference rival Cary Christian on Friday, 3-0.
The Warriors spoiled a golden opportunity for Cary Christian to clinch the league title.
St. David's, winners of the last two N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A championships, have been the only team standing in the way of the Cary Christian Knights in years past as well.
Cary Christian's Adria Johnson, used to seeing an average of 25 kills per match, had just nine.
"It was the worst passing game we've had this whole season," said Knights assistant coach Carlin Johnson.
The Knights and Warriors split last year's series, too, and it was the only loss for St. David's otherwise perfect season.
"This win means a lot, especially going into postseason play – because we had lost before, but were able to rally together tonight and play our best," St. David's senior Katie Dickens said.
The Warriors went out of conference a few weeks ago to test themselves against Ravenscroft, now 22-2 on the season. That test seems to have paid off for St. David's.
"They played the best they have played all season, a clean and competitive game," said coach Katie Fleming. "It was a crucial win for us tonight for conference play because it put us in with a good seeding and a mindset where all of our games mean something, and they handled that tonight."
The Warriors (16-4, 11-1) and Cary Christian are tied for first in the EPIC. The two teams could end tied for first after this week.
The EPIC conference tournament begins Oct. 15, and the semifinals and finals will be held Oct. 18-19 at Raleigh Grace Christian.
Although there are few more losses than in recent years, St. David's goal remains high.
"They are very capable of winning a state championship this year, especially if we keep playing as well and having games go to the bitter end like that. There's so much experience to be competitive that way," Fleming said.

Ok....here is the report card from USATODAY.
It is facinating that it is the EXACT report card, word for word, that the other "nameless" Viking website wont let people quote.
Just one last rant, there was NOTHING from that other website that I posted other than the grades that they obviously stole from USATODAY anyway.
I'm sure Webby has rules that must be complied with on this site....I respect that...
I was just surprised that the grades without the content would still be off limits.... Ok...I will be good from now on!
PASSING OFFENSE: B-minus — Brad Johnson posted a season-high 97.7 quarterback rating, completing 15 of 24 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown. The scoring pass came on a 40-yard strike to Marcus Robinson, who has caught three of Johnson's four touchdowns this season. Johnson managed to avoid throwing an interception for the first time in three games but he was sacked on four occasions. The Vikings' offensive line had not given up a sack in the past two games. Johnson continues to spread the ball around, connecting with nine receivers. Robinson and running back Chester Taylor led the team with four receptions apiece. One of the best passes of the day was thrown by Mewelde Moore on a halfback option in the third quarter. Moore's touchdown pass to tight end Jermaine Wiggins came with the Vikings facing a third-and-15 from the Seattle 15 and gave the Vikings a 17-10 lead.
RUSHING OFFENSE: B — Chester Taylor rushed for a season-high 169 yards on 26 carries, picking up 6.5 yards per pop. Ninety-five of his yards came on the longest touchdown run in Vikings' history. Taylor's scoring dash gave the Vikings a comfortable 24-10 lead; he made a couple of nice moves running to the left side, where the expensive tandem of guard Steve Hutchinson and tackle Bryant McKinnie were throwing blocks. Taylor continues to be the Vikings' primary (read only) real running back threat. Third-down back Mewelde Moore did not have a rushing attempt. Quarterback Brad Johnson, who scrambled three times, and receiver Bethel Johnson, who gained 4 yards on a reverse, accounted for the four other carries.
PASS DEFENSE: B-minus — A 72-yard touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck to receiver Darrell Jackson in the first quarter lowered this grade. The Vikings were in a man defense when Hasselbeck called an audible for a slant pass to Jackson; the Vikings should have checked out of their defense but failed to do so and gave up the long score. Jackson had 136 receiving yards on seven catches, the most yardage the Vikings have given up against a single receiver this season. Hasselbeck completed 7 of 17 passes for 127 yards before leaving the game in the third quarter because of a knee injury. Seneca Wallace replaced him and threw for 134 yards (14 of 25) with two interceptions. Hasselbeck and Wallace were each sacked twice.
RUSH DEFENSE: A-minus — The Vikings continue to be dominant in this area. The Seahawks averaged only 2.5 yards per carry and Maurice Morris, subbing for the injured Shaun Alexander, was held to 49 yards on 17 attempts. The tackle tandem of Kevin Williams and Pat Williams is the main reason why opponents are finding it's simply impossible to establish a running game against the Vikings. A team has not rushed for 100 yards against Minnesota since Week 2.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B — Receiver Bethel Johnson took over as the Vikings kick returner and averaged 31 yards on four run backs. He opened the game with a 49-yard return to put the ball near midfield and set up a Vikings field goal. Running back Mewelde Moore also had a season-high 40-yard punt return. The Vikings did not give up any substantial returns to the Seahawks. Kicker Ryan Longwell made a 33-yard field goal but missed wide right from 46 yards in the third quarter. Longwell has made 13 of 16 field-goal attempts this season.
COACHING: B — Coach Brad Childress got the offense on track in part because of a gutsy play call on the halfback option with the score tied at 10 in the third quarter. Childress also showed a willingness to have quarterback Brad Johnson throw the ball downfield at times; that resulted in the 40-yard touchdown pass to receiver Marcus Robinson. Defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin continues to get the most out of his defense while establishing that this is his own version of the Tampa-2. Tomlin threw several blitzes at Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and then backed off when the inexperienced Seneca Wallace replaced Seattle's injured starter in the third quarter.

"Missed you at Bible study.†– Bush to White House speechwriter David Frum (Jack Beatty, "In the Name of God,†Atlantic March 5, 2003)
The bully on the block always had guys who did the fighting for him. He would falsely accuse a weaker kid of planning some horrible conspiracy and then unleash the tough guys – as a pre-emptive move, of course. On my block, the bullies had the same MO. But not one of them got into an actual fight with anyone who might inflict pain on them. They picked on kids who would not fight back.
When a possible retaliator appeared, the bully would summon his surrogates to administer the beating – in his name. I recall several Irish Catholic bullies, egged on by a bigoted parish priest, invoking God's name to justify the beatings they inflicted on me and other Jewish victims. "We're kicking your ass cause you killed our Lord.â€
Now the born-again bully occupies the White House. He picks on weak targets, taunts them – "bring 'em on – gets others to fight for him and then serves turkey to his proxy warriors on Thanksgiving. But worse than his addiction for playing dress up for photo ops, he has made bullying into official U.S. policy. As president, you have the forum to conjure up threats, report them as certainties and then order the armed forces to fight them.
Go back to January 29, 2002, when George W. Bush in his State of the Union address vowed, "We will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.†No, Bush did not plan a pre-emptive strike against Russian, Chinese or even Israeli nuclear arsenals. He clarified his intentions by identifying North Korea, Iran and Iraq as "the axis of evil†– weak states. And he had no intention of doing the fighting himself. He never has.
Given his religious "forces of good and evil†fervor innuendo combined with the ignorance of the world – "I may not know where Bosnia is, but…†– that informs the President's policy decisions, I think Bush might very well "hear†voices from above. He doesn't feel compelled to read, or listen for long to those with knowledge in order to establish a firm basis for his judgments. He simply makes decisions. That's what leaders do, he told biographer Bob Woodward (Bush at War).
Rather, the supposedly wise counselors whose jobs consist of imparting sound information and advice to the commander in chief simply twist information and analysis to suit his "religious†whims – like invading Iraq. Actually, some of the National Security Magi – Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and his Department colleagues Richard Perle, Douglas Feith – thought that such a move would establish the basis for remaking the Middle East – maybe the whole world.
Some of them even have rather strong financial motives for such worldly renovation (I mention Vice President Cheney's connections to Halliburton, National Security Adviser Rice's links to Chevron and of course Perle's multiple involvements with defense companies that allowed him to "do well by doing goodâ€).
For Bush, the spiritual advisers may well have mattered more. The Rev. Billy Graham and the theocratic leaders of the Christian soldiers, Pat Roberston and Jerry Falwell, take seriously the idea that God looks with special care at U.S. politics. After all, Falwell divined, He may have chosen Clinton to warn us against sin, just as he picked Bush to lead us out of temptation and into war in the Middle East.
Graham, one of the self-anointed celestial surveyors, as Eduardo Galeano calls him, understands that "paradise is none too roomy – no more than fifteen hundred square miles. The chosen will be few. Now guess which country has bought up all the entrance tickets?†(Galeano La Jornada, March 19, 2003).
God has made his entrance in U.S. politics on earlier occasions as well. In 1898, He allegedly told President William McKinley to seize the Philippines – in order to spread His religion there. McKinley told White House reporters that after spending a sleepless night pondering a decision over whether or not to invade the Philippines, God intervened and helped him make the decision to go to war.
Bush has intimated that God chose him to be President – whether or not he won the election. Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence General William Boykin repeated that assertion and declared in June in an Oregon speech, "The enemy is a guy named Satan.â€
If only the majority in the civilized world would understand that war in Iraq meant more than conquering a country with lots of oil, run by a serious black hat! Do good Christians around the world not recall – at least through reading – the story of the crusades, God's unfinished business in converting Muslims to Christianity? The tens of millions who took to the streets to demonstrate against the war did not understand that Bush made war for God's peace, not just for a piece of Iraq.
Only by appealing to the apocalyptic of Biblical prophecy could the Bushies have justified a pre-emptive war. One of the most ardent war hawks, Richard Perle, who resigned on March 27, 2003 as chair of the Defense Policy Board but remained a member, finally admitted in public that the Administration had no casus belli, no legal recourse to wage war, while dismissing legalities as inapplicable.
In the November 20 Guardian, Oliver Burkeman and Julian Borger quoted Perle telling an Institute of Contemporary Arts audience in London: "I think in this case international law stood in the way of doing the right thing.†Perle's belated honesty flies in the face of official White House statements – prepared by the legal staff – that avers that existing UN Security Council resolutions on Iraq justified the intervention.
Article 51 of the UN Charter allows for an act of "individual or collective self-defense, if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations.†For Perle and his neo-conservative allies, such a formula under "international law … would have required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone.â€
Indeed, such a legalistic course would have proven "morally unacceptable,†according to Perle. The problems the Bushies faced in making war on Iraq, Perle insisted, came down to the non-existence of a "practical mechanism consistent with the rules of the UN for dealing with Saddam Hussein.†Since international law proved defective as an excuse to invade Iraq, the old weapons of mass destruction and links to Al-Qaeda ploys served the cause. Bush's legal beagles resorted to the old "sovereign authority to use force†notion to "defend†the United States from the threat posed by mighty Iraq. Hitler and Tojo used preventive war as Germany and Japan's justification to launch World War II. Prior to the start of the Nuremberg trials in the post war period, Supreme Court Justice Robert L. Jackson, speaking at the International Conference on Military Trials, August 12, 1945, underlined the fallacy of pre-emptive war.
"We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy.â€
Adding to such dicta about preventive war, President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953 said that Hitler invented "preventive war.†Ike dismissively said: "Frankly, I wouldn't even listen to anyone seriously that came in and talked about such a thing.â€
Iraq did disobey some UN resolutions. But the Bush-Blair war against Iraq literally shreds the international legal system. It amazes me how the media ignore the fact that Israel has disavowed more UN resolutions than any other country – with U.S. backing. The faithful do not look for consistency, for to do so would be to question God's will. So, the fact that Israel has grabbed Palestinian land for the last thirty-six years and possesses a nuclear weapon stockpile does not concern those to whom God has instructed to dispatch the evil Saddam.
In the 21st Century, a President came to power – he was not really elected – with a mission that most literate political types thought had vanished in the volumes of law and experience. As the concept of imperialism became anachronistic, an imperial bully took advantage of the bully pulpit.
Bush told James Robinson, according to Paul Harris in the November 2, 2003 New York Observer: "I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen… I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.â€
So, with God as Bush's key adviser, where does that leave Karl Rove – and the rest of us?

The brother of a woman who lost her battle a rare bacterial infection asked school board members in Gwinnett County to allow sick day donations.Hannah Rinehart, 32, was a triple cancer survivor, whose immune system was weakened when she contracted a rare bacterial infection from her dog's saliva. The infection had caused Hannah to have her hands and feet amputated. She died of organ failure earlier this month.Rinehart's husband, Mark, is a teacher at South Gwinnett High School. His co-workers had sought to donate their sick leave to Rinehart so he could be with his ailing wife. The board was considering that request when Hannah passed away.Rinehart's brother, David Johnson, made an emotional plea to the board on Thursday to allow donation of accrued sick leave. The board made no decision on Thursday."They needed to keep that position instead of showing what I would consider to be true integrity," said Johnson. Hannah's family members said that they would continue the fight to change the policy to the Georgia State House if necessary.

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:Toward A More Perfect Union: Lessons Learned- Or
Not- Since 9/11
September 11, was a wake up call for the Americans.
Then, what did we see when we open our eyes? Now that
we see that our United States have been attacked,
people started to get together because of this
horrible thing that had happened. Nobody had the idea
that this could happened; September 11, is a day to
remember. This day was a big tragedy to our US. Many
innocent people was killed, families were destroyed,
little innocent children were attacked but, who would
of think this was going to happened exactly this day?
This is a day that opened Americans eyes to the
reality, a wake up call. In plain sight, I think that
there needs to be more protection, the government
needs to consider that there is a big risk in our
lives. And, what will happen this next 9/11? Nobody
knows, expectantly, if something like this happens, we
need to get and be ready. Authority of the government
need to be prepared in order to avoid another
affliction like 9/11 and to make a better world full
of peace. Apparently, to my point of view, I think
that this day we would never forget, this would stay
in our minds for the rest of our lives. It is a day
that all things that were happening stay in Americans
heart. Finally, Id like to assume that September 11,
is a day that opened all Americans heart, and that of
course made this day a historical day.

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant workers robbed at gunpoint
Published: May 14 2013 12:08:52 PM EDT
Some restaurant workers may think twice when they take out the trash next time.
Allentown police said two employees of the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant were robbed at gunpoint as they emptied trash behind the business.
The incident happened around 10:51 p.m. Monday at the restaurant located at 1124 Union Boulevard.
Two men approached the workers; one pulled a gun and demanded money.
The two men were given an undetermined amount of cash and then fled on foot, according to police.
The men were both described as black males, tall and thin, wearing all black clothing and black ski masks.

SBN's Timberwolves blog, Canis Hoopus, was at Minnesota's media day, and reported that the T'wolves players are looking to this year, not 2010 and beyond, to be successful in Minnesota:
Kurt Rambis was very open about pushing the team to run more and take on a defensive identity, both things that would distinguish this team from last year's. He was equally open in stating that they didn't have all the pieces of the team he and Kahn envision. It's obvious that the roster is a work in progress, but when Rambis says he would like a rotation of 8, 9 or 10 guys (which doesn't specifically tell us what he wants) the reflex is to start counting heads of who's in and who's out a year from now.
The players, though, are much less interested in talking about next year and the year after. Ryan Gomes was well aware that Kahn is looking for him to prove he's worth the $14 million that would be guaranteed to him should he be on the roster July 1 (as opposed to the $2.5 million he's guaranteed if the Wolves cut him before the deadline). That he's willing to say that he knows his contract structure means he'll have to prove his worth this year speaks volumes about Gomes' character. His workouts this summer focused on taking defenders off the dribble and finishing at the hole, but his 3-point shooting may be more important to this perimeter deficient offense.
Al Jefferson and Kevin Love both know their status on the team is safe, but they share Gomes' sense of urgency this year. Neither seems impatient with Kahn and Rambis's restructuring of the team (Al specifically mentioned his transition from confusion to understanding after some conversations with the front office), but both are itching to prove their team won't be a league doormat anymore. Regardless of how much time their on-court chemistry needs to mature, it's easy to see that Love and Jefferson get along very well off the court. Yesterday they joked around while interrupting each others interviews and walking from shoot to shoot with ones arms around the others' shoulder.
With Jefferson healthy, Kevin Love already one of the league's better rebounders, and Jonny Flynn on board to run the team, the Timberwolves have quietly amassed one of the better foundations in the league. Question marks abound—namely, does David Kahn have any clue as to how to run an NBA franchise?—but considering the recent history of Minnesota basketball, there's ample reason for optimism right now. They're headed in the right direction, and while that probably won't lead them to the playoffs this year, "the right direction" is victory enough.

Thanks to their terrible performance last week on Sunday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys are now two games back in the NFC East. Not to mention, they've aided in the awakening of the sleeping giant that was Philly. Dallas is going to have to put together a great run to secure a playoff spot, and a home game against the Seattle Seahawks is just the kind of thing that can help an ailing team turn their season around.
The Seahawks have played AFC North opponents in consecutive weeks and put in two abysmal performances. Following their 6-3 loss to the Browns in what was possibly the worst game of the season in the NFL, they allowed the Cincinnati Bengals to score 34 points.
If Dallas can't get a win in this one, consider their season over.

The women and men will both run 5K races with the women beginning at 7:45 a.m. and the men following at 8:05 a.m.

No to Calgary Transit daily parking charges
With the recent approval from City Council to start charging $3/Day for Park and Ride Lots city-wide, C-train riders who park are now faced with a $60/month increase. Not to mention the impending and inevitable fare increases soon to follow. It's become more clear that our Mayor and City Council are just going to do what they want with our money, and they're seemingly doing this without even an ounce of consideration for low income families, and the ever increasing cost of living (inflation). It's time to take a stand, and show these extortionists it's the citizens who run this city!

Swanley neighbours banned from keeping horses after mistreating ponies
12:49pm Monday 18th February 2013 in News By Alan Woods
TWO neighbours from Swanley have been banned from keeping horses after a judge found them guilty of mistreating six ponies.
Sharon Cooksley, 42 and Jamie Brown, 23, both of Heath Close, were each disqualified from keeping horses for a year at Dartford Magistrates Court on Thursday.
Cooksley denied six offences under the Animal Welfare Act whilst Brown denied nine in relation to six ponies kept at Oakview Stud Farm in Horton Kirby in 2011.
RSPCA inspector Andrew Kirby said: "One chestnut mare had dental abnormalities that she was not getting treatment for, rug wounds and was in poor condition.
"She and her foal were being denied appropriate forage and grazing. "Another chestnut colt had rug wounds and ringworm."
Cooksley was found guilty of four offences and fined £400.
Brown pleaded guilty to one charge and was found guilty of six- he was fined £700.
The defendants, who are appealing the court's decision, must also each pay £500 costs.

The Rockland County Open House, which occurs today in the fourth floor Community Room from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., includes presentations scheduled for 4:15 p.m. and 6:30 pm. Public input is sought on topics from traffic congestion and transit to biking and moving goods within Rockland and in the whole region. NYMTC representatives and Rockland County staff members will be present.
"The Regional Transportation Plan update is critical to putting transportation dollars to work in Rockland and the region," said County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef. "As a NYMTC principal and former co-chair, I encourage residents to attend and participate in the sessions, or provide their input through the new RTP interactive website. We need to hear residents' transportation ideas and concerns so that we as Council members can translate them into projects, proposals and studies reflected in the updated Plan."
The NYMTC's 2040 Plan will lay out a long-range framework for maintaining and improving the region's transportation system: its roads, bridges, freight and mass transit facilities, plus bicycle and pedestrian networks. It will identify the transportation improvement concepts, projects and policy recommendations that can address the region's long-term growth challenges and needs – an initial step to bringing federal transportation dollars into the area.
NYMTC's Plan is updated every four years and is the result of a metropolitan planning process that tries to bring together as many of the region's governmental entities, business community members and residents to focus on future transportation needs.
The NYMTC is the metropolitan planning organization for New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley that enables federal transportation funds to flow into the region. Rockland County is one of its voting member agencies.
