Browns QB Seneca Wallace will "likely" start Saturday at Baltimore as Colt McCoy continues to recover from a concussion, head coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday.
McCoy was with the team on Tuesday but didn't participate in practice.
"He was here, he went through meetings, and this was the first time he's gone through meetings in awhile, so he's making progress," Shurmur said, according to the club.
Wallace started his first game of the season on Sunday at Arizona, completing 18-of-31 passes for 226 yards with a TD and a lost fumble in a 20-17 OT loss.
Shurmur declined to say whether McCoy would be reinstalled as the starter if he returns this season.
"I'm going to cross that bridge when they are both healthy," Shurmur said. "Right now, until Colt's healthy, we're going to go with Seneca."
The way we see it
The Browns have been reluctant to address McCoy's role now and in 2012 since he suffered his concussion in Week 14. McCoy has had an up-and-down season, throwing for 2,733 yards and 14 TDs with 11 interceptions and two lost fumbles in 13 starts. Upgrading the passing game figures to be an offseason priority for the Browns, and it will be interesting to see how they proceed at quarterback.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Having the CIAA Basketball Tournament in Charlotte pumped $47.17 million into Charlotte's economy this year, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Charlotte Regional Visitor's Authority.
Last year, the tournament had a $50.5 million impact as the tournament celebrated its 100th anniversary.
But lately Charlotte leaders have been fighting to keep the CIAA Tournament in Charlotte, even making a personal trip to league headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, after CIAA officials raised concerns.
The tournament is scheduled to stay in Charlotte until 2014. It's up for grabs after that. Charlotte has to rebid for the CIAA this summer to keep it in Charlotte until 2018.
One complaint is with the hotels. Leaders think the prices are too high and they think hotels are taking advantage of the fans.
Another concern for new CIAA commissioner Jacqie Carpenter is all the parties that happen during the CIAA. She believes the parties take the spotlight away from the basketball tournament. She wants those people who are packing the parties - to pack the 20,000 seats in the Time Warner Cable Arena.
Charlotte City Council wants more oversight from the CRVA to contract and manage the room block for the Tournament in future years.

SOURCE Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC)
OTTAWA, July 11, 2014 /CNW/ - The Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) is thrilled to have won the 2014 Most Valuable Amateur Sport Property award at the Canadian Sponsorship Forum earlier today.
The distinction marks the first time the CPC has won the prestigious award created in 2012 by Ipsos Reid and TrojanOne - and marks the rapidly growing awareness and value of the Paralympic brand in Canada.
"With the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games as a catalyst and continuing through to London 2012 and Sochi 2014, we have enjoyed increased partner and sponsor engagement, activation and revenues, along with growing recognition of our athletes and brand among media and all Canadians," said François Robert, Executive Director, Partnerships, at the Canadian Paralympic Committee. "Sochi in particular marked an exponential leap in partner activation and promotion, supported by a new Canadian Paralympic broadcast consortium.
"We are so grateful to our supporters, as well as our world-class athletes, who are at the core of this success. Indeed, our remarkable athletes and their accomplishments motivate partners and sponsors to pledge their support and derive value from their affiliation with the Paralympic movement in Canada."
For a full list of Canadian Paralympic Committee partners and sponsors, please visit: Paralympic.ca/partners-sponsors
"The Canadian Paralympic Committee's vision is to be the world's leading Paralympic nation," added Gaétan Tardif, President of the Canadian Paralympic Committee. "We're looking forward to the road to Rio, which includes the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games and the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, where we will strive to provide unprecedented value to our partners and sponsors every step of the way - and beyond."
In 2012, Ipsos Reid and TrojanOne partnered on a groundbreaking new research study - Canada's Most Valuable Property - establishing a "Value Metric" and uncovering the seven key drivers of emotional connection between Canadians and the companies that sponsor the properties they care most about.
To achieve this, the study undertook a vigorous multi-stage methodology, including: detailed secondary research and consultations to identify 513 Canadian properties that were narrowed down to 100 based on a strict set of criteria; in-depth focus groups with executives from both sponsors and properties to articulate the key drivers of value in sponsorship, and a nationwide survey of Canadians to assess and rank the properties.

Police have arrested a third suspect who they say participated in the murder of a man in east Toledo in the fall of 2012.
Jonathon G. Johnson, 23, was arrested Friday for the murder of Jonathon Morris back on Oct. 5, 2012 in the 2300 block of Seaman Road in east Toledo's Ravine Park Village. Morris was shot three times at his home and died later at the hospital.
Police found Johnson near the 900 block of Dorr Street early Friday morning. When police knocked on the door of the house, he jumped out a second-floor window. He then ran through the neighborhood and was found by police hiding in a dog house on Belmont Avenue.
Johnson will be arraigned in the near future.
Other suspects have been charged with Morris' murder. Investigators say Andrew Goetz, 28, and Chaz Jackson, 28, tried robbing Morris, and fatally shot him. The two turned in themselves to police days after the shooting, and originally pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder charges.

Oh man, over a week since my last update. The autumn time is so hard for me. I get caught up at parties, cooking for events, different types of things going on all the time and I get very involved in all of them. So it's not that I don't want to post, it's that time flies so quickly I hardly realize it's been so long! Either way I come with a special recipe that for last few months (since I made it for the first time) has been a constant request for the Mr. I make a batch about once a week and keep it on hand for whenever he wants something quick.
It was developed on an evening when I realized two things. First, if I didn't use the veggies in my fridge they would go bad and I would need to throw them away. Second, I had very little in my pantry to work with. Which meant I needed a 4-6 ingredient dinner. This was the result of very little planning and a great grocery shopping need, and yet- it worked! Sometimes simplicity is your very best friend.
What you'll need:
- 1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes (as little sodium as possible)
- 1 can reduced sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1-2 c reduced sodium veggie broth
- 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
- 1/2 tbsp tumeric
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2-3 c grilled/roasted/sauteed veggie mix**
- salt/pepper as needed
** – I typically use bell peppers (all colors), zucchini, squash and onions, but you can use whatever is in season or you like best
What to do:
1. "Toast" chickpeas and all spices for a few minutes in the bottom of a pot on medium heat
2. Add tomatoes and heat throughout
3. Add veggies and stock and bring to a boil
4. Reduce to medium and cook until veggies are tender and absorb flavors
5. Serve over rice (I used brown, jasmine or basmati) and enjoy
This recipes makes approximately 8 servings of 1 cup each. Calories per serving is approximately 150 (without rice). It will keep in the fridge for up to a week in a sealed container.

Cattle prod
A cattle prod, also called a stock prod, is a handheld device commonly used to make cattle or other livestock move by striking or poking them, or in the case of a Hot-Shot-type prod, through a relatively high-voltage, low-current electric shock.
Terminology differences[edit]
Cattle prods are the precursor to today's Stun Guns and there's very little difference in how both operate or are designed. A cattle prod can be shaped like a baton, or like a rectangular two-prong unit, much the same way stun guns are designed. Both are electroshock weapons in common use by police departments and other law enforcement agencies, as well as Ranchers and farmers, who use the term "cattle prods" mainly to refer to fiberglass or metal rods used for encouraging cattle to move; the majority of people living outside of rural areas use the term 'cattle prod' exclusively for the electrified variant. Most ranchers and farmers refer to electric cattle prods as "hotshots"[citation needed] (this is an example of a genericized trademark; one of the most prominent brands of electric prod is Hot-Shot).[1]
Regular prods[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2008)
Regular cattle prods can actually be anything from a baton(goad) or piece of pipe properly wired, to a manufactured fiberglass rod with a rubber handle or even a rectangular shaped device similar to today's stun guns, which also feature batons. Most prods use two metal tips, but some are rubberized for herding stubborn animals. A Wiffleball bat is also often used as an effective prod because the hollow plastic bat makes a sharp ringing sound when slapped against the skin.
Unlike hotshots,which produce high voltage and can be effective on humans, regular cattle prods used on animals are simply used to tap, strike, or poke an animal (usually on the flanks), depending on how stubborn the animal is. Sometimes, a prod can be used as a sort of "extended fence", allowing one to simply intimidate skittish animals away from open gates or downed fences without having to touch them.
Electric prods[edit]
A hotshot is typically cylindrical, and can carry an open electric current at the "shock end" when activated. The electric current at the shock end runs through two metal electrodes. Anything that touches the electric current receives a high-voltage low-current shock, not strong enough to kill a human or a large animal such as a cow or sheep from short-term exposure, but strong enough to cause significant pain.
The electric cattle prod is designed to apply a painful shock to cattle, and thus "prod" them along; the pain stimulates movement. Some higher-voltage prods can interfere with radio and CB radio reception when activated.[citation needed]
There are various designs of electric cattle prods. Their shape is often subject to guidelines of what can easily be used and handled. They range in length from six inches (usually of a more encased rectangular prism design like a stun gun), to up to six feet. As the precursor of stun guns, cattle prods also have a wide range of voltage with enough amperage to operate in the same manner as a stun gun does against humans. A stun gun is nothing more than a beefed up cattle prod and both can be used on humans or animals by design. Whether it's called a cattle prod or a stun gun, both units are shaped for easy carry and function in the same manner against animals or humans. Most are simple designs powered by 9-volt or a combination of other types of batteries. Anything out of that range is usually too heavy and unwieldy for practical use. Another typical design is a box containing a large battery (or battery pack) at the handle end and wires embedded in a fibreglass rod, ending with two electrodes in a rubber tip. This design is well-suited for use as a regular cattle prod.
The use of electric cattle prods has been debated by many people.[2][3] Organizations such as PETA contend that the use of cattle prods is as much mentally harmful as it is physically.[4] Most farmers contend that the short shock is minutely felt, and soon forgotten.[5]
Usage on humans for torture and treatment[edit]
Cattle prods today are designed with a high range of voltage. Recently a 5-million volt cattle prod was designed, which can be used on animals or humans and have the same incapacitating effect as a stun gun. Prior to the development of stun batons and the taser, electric cattle prods were also used on humans in varying degrees. Their first common usage on humans occurred during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s; prods were first adopted by police officers in Alabama to use on black protesters and agencies elsewhere followed; Hotshot later developed an electric police baton.[1] A more recent example of human torture with a cattle prod came to surface when a video was disclosed showing Issa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the brother of crown prince of Abu Dhabi inserting a cattle prod in an Afghan business associate's anus after falling out with him.[6] An electric prod can be an effective torture device for humans and animals alike.[7] If applied continuously to the skin, the current eventually causes heating, searing, burning, and scarring of skin at the contact point.
During the movie Jackass 3D Johnny Knoxville set up a maze for his friends to go through made of cattle prods and tasers. At the 1998 Starrcade pay-per-view Scott Hall used a cattle prod on Bill Goldberg allowing his friend Kevin Nash to win the World Heavyweight Championship. In the movie Casino a cheater's card playing is interrupted by a shock from a cattle prod.
The picana is an electric prod based originally on the cattle prod but designed specifically for human torture. It works at very high voltage and low current so as to maximise pain and minimise the physical marks left on the victim. Among its advantages over other torture devices is that it is portable, easy to use, and allows the torturer to localize the electric shocks to the most sensitive places on the body, where they cause intense pain that can be repeated many times.
Electric prods have been used for the control of adverse self-injuring behavior in mentally handicapped people. This use is regarded by some advocates to be more effective than drugs since the experience of a shock is very short and temporary while using a drug may have long-lasting sedative effects.[8]
Cattle can be difficult to move and direct for a variety of reasons. Prods can be useful for moving stubborn or aggressive animals,[9] but often cattle will not move forward when they are fearful of something they see, hear, or smell. Removal of these distractions or hiding them, such as with solid wall partitions, can greatly reduce animal handling problems.[10] If the animals are relaxed and comfortable with the handler and feel safe in the working environment, the cattle are in fact quite friendly and curious, and will happily follow the handler without any need for forceful punishment.
By studying the psychology of the animals and redesigning the working environment it is possible to handle the animals without the need for brute force and causing pain and suffering to the animal. Significant work in this regard has been done by Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin to study how cattle perceive the environment around them and to design better livestock slaughterhouse handling systems that do not induce fear into the animal.[11]
Food quality of gently handled animals[edit]
Beef producers acknowledge that rough handling methods should be avoided when animals are being sent to slaughter, and that it is to the benefit of the rancher to study ways to manage animals in a calm manner without rough handling and which can calmly direct animals in the desired direction without excessive force or excitement.[12]
Overly excited animals have a greater potential to slip and fall, leading to bruising of the skin and muscle, and a poor meat grade by the packing plant meat inspectors. Likewise, animals that are startled and excited to the point of running into barriers or other animals can cause deep flesh wounds, which results in scar tissue and the loss of valuable meat sections in the slaughtering and processing phase. Stressed animals are also more likely to become ill.[9]

CATEGORIES Features, Discussion Posts, Movies We Love, HorrorLake Mungo, directed by Joel Anderson, 2008
Despite my relative distaste for most of the films released under the banner of After Dark's "8 Films to Die For," I'm pleasantly surprised and utterly elated to find a film that not only exceeded my expectations but renewed my hope in the popular horror film fest. Despite being biased with my love for cinema verite horror, Lake Mungo was wholly original and utterly terrifying, relying solely on brief images and grainy video footage to frighten the crap out of the viewer. It's a damn shame it took me this long to get around to watching it. Sadly, the film is set to be remade for American audiences, because apparently Australian accents and a modest distribution through a popular film festival just doesn't cut it.
Hausu, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, 1977
While the Watching Hour, Denver Film's loose parallel to the Austin, TX Alamo Drafthouse Terror Tuesday program is far less popular, it nevertheless brings around some solid horror fare, courtesy of head programmer Keith Garcia. This past weekend I finally got to see Hausu on the big screen, and save for the two rows behind me who thought EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE was hilarious, the film certainly didn't skimp on the surrealistic absurdity. If you find yourself in a position where you can watch this on the big screen I highly suggest you do so.
Ravenous, directed by Antonia Bird, 1999
I was recently in the mood to break out an old favorite, and since someone has my copy of Oldboy, I busted out Ravenous, a highly underrated thriller cum black comedy that I am proud to call one of my favorite movies. I first saw the film in high school, recommended to me by a friend who would come to be obsessed with The Blair Witch Project he owned a stick-figure necklace. But I digress. Ravenous blends together the right amount of humor to venture into black comedy territory, while still maintaining the requisite amount of violence and tension to earn it the moniker of horror. Plus, I can never get enough of the fight scene toward the end of the film.
Fun fact: I actually bought the soundtrack to the film, which was co-written by composer Michael Nyman and Blur/Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn.

Frequently Asked Questions about Giving to Bryan
Will my gift of $50 make a difference?Every gift counts no matter the size. Last year, 2,485 alumni and friends made gifts of less than $100. The total of these gifts was $45,281.20. A single gift of $50 may seem small, but the cumulative impact of several gifts is substantial. When we apply for a foundation grant, we often have to submit the percentage of Alumni who give. Alumni participation is based on a gift of any size—no matter how large or small.
What are some of the ways in which I can give?
Probably the simplest way to make a gift to Bryan College is to write a check and mail it to Bryan College Advancement Department, 721 Bryan Drive, Dayton, TN 37321. Other easy options include giving by credit card online, or by electronic funds transfer (EFT). You may also wish to consider other meaningful ways to contribute which may be more to your advantage. Click here for more information about ways to give.
Whom do I contact for more information?Call the advancement office at 1.800.55.BRYAN (1.800.552.9726), 1.423.775.7323 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact a staff member listed here.
Why do we offer a Christian Education?"Christian education today has the one principle that can give learning a frame of reference spacious enough to comprehend all knowledge and dynamic enough to develop moral and spiritual maturity in the midst of a materialistic and violent age."
"Christianity … has the right to control the instruction in all departments. The general principles of Scripture apply to all subjects, and in some subjects Scripture supply rather detailed principles, so that every course of instruction is altered by a conscious adoption of Christian principles." Dr. Frank E. Gaebelein in The Pattern of God's Truth

Matting – the best investment most facilities can make. It traps dirt at the door. A lot of dirt if you have the correct mat, the proper length at every entrance. Much easier and less costly to pick up dirt on a mat that to try to find it and remove it once it enters your building. The other day, someone used the analogy that matting is like using a shovel to remove dirt compared to tweezers. Still, most facilities don't invest enough in good, quality matting.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.
Ryanââ¬â¢s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.
Barrack Obama
"Itââ¬â¢s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44, said in a statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign ââ¬â the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play."
Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to one ââ¬Ëavant-gardeââ¬â¢ club in Paris and left because they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.
The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.
"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What heââ¬â¢s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldnââ¬â¢t wish on anybody."
The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.
The chairwoman of the Illinois Republican Party, Judy Topinka, said at a news conference, after Ryan withdrew, that Republicans would probably take several weeks to settle on a new candidate.
"Obviously, this is a bad week for our party and our state," she said.
As recently as Thursday, spokesmen for the Ryan campaign still insisted that Ryan would remain in the race. Ryan had defended himself saying, "Thereââ¬â¢s no breaking of any laws. Thereââ¬â¢s no breaking of any marriage laws. Thereââ¬â¢s no breaking of the Ten Commandments anywhere."

Duckworth working to win
By Will Hoover
Advertiser Staff Writer
Congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth works the phones at her campaign headquarters in Lombard, Ill. Since she announced her candidacy last month, the 1985 McKinley High School graduate has shown herself willing to work hard and speak her mind.

Tammy Duckworth, shown at a news conference at the Helen M. Plum Memorial Library in Lombard, Ill., is focused on her new goal: winning the 6th District U.S. House seat in Illinois as a Democrat. Democrats are targeting the seat, long held by Republican Harry Hyde.

Tammy Duckworth, shown speaking with campaign workers at her campaign headquarters in Lombard, Ill., brings an intense focus blended with a keen sense of humor to her latest mission: running for Congress.

Illinois Army National Guard Maj. L. Tammy Duckworth sat in a wheelchair at the paper-strewn kitchen table in her suburban Chicago home doing what she seems to do better than most mortals: focusing totally on the task at hand.
She worked the phones for hours Wednesday as part of her effort to get herself elected to Congress ââ¬â reaching out to dozens of mayors, union officials and everyday voters.
Somehow, she's able to stay focused and find humor simultaneously. She has a knack for instantly putting people at ease with what some call her disability ââ¬â the fact that she lost both her legs in Iraq 418 days before.
Pausing between calls, Duckworth noted that her high-tech artificial legs were in the closet "charging up." What she called her "left stump" was propped up on the table.
"That's my way of kicking back," she said with an infectious laugh. "I know, the politically correct term is residual limb. But that's just way too many syllables, and I figure it's mine. I can call it what I want."
Duckworth's Iraq experience already is the stuff of American military lore.
On Nov. 12, 2004, her entire focus was on not losing consciousness while trying to safely land a Black Hawk helicopter. It had been blasted by a rocket-propelled grenade that exploded where Duckworth was seated. The maneuver was an impossible feat with two missing legs, a shattered right arm, and a multitude of other serious injuries.
Another pilot landed the helicopter. But Duckworth, not realizing how seriously she'd been hurt, kept her attention on the mission, passing out only when the Black Hawk was on the ground. Initially presumed dead, Duckworth remained unconscious for the next 10 days.
Her focus for the better part of 2005 included staying alive, undergoing intense therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and painstakingly learning to walk again on artificial legs.
She is on record as saying she's determined to fly helicopters again.
Duckworth knows that political pundits are focused on her. As a Democratic candidate in a historically Republican district trying to win the House seat being vacated by retiring Republican icon Henry Hyde, her 6th District race is becoming a Democratic Party priority and a talking point among political heavyweights.
"Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth," said Sen. Barack obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. "She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant."
Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai'i-raised Punahou graduate obama have "a kama'aina connection."
Both were born outside the country ââ¬â obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand ââ¬â and graduated from high school in Honolulu ââ¬â Punahou and McKinley, respectively.
"The big thing for me is that I'm a McKinley High grad," said Duckworth. "That gives you a lot of street creds. I wasn't a rich kid."
Born in Bangkok on March 12, 1968, when her father was there working with a United Nations refugee program, Duckworth spent much of her childhood in Southeast Asian countries. Along with her parents, Franklin and Lamia Duckworth, and her younger brother, Tommy Duckworth, she arrived in Hawai'i at age 16. An honors student, she skipped ninth grade and graduated in 1985.
Richard Sakamoto, Duckworth's high school principal, remembers her as the sort of student any educator would hope to find in the classroom ââ¬â multitalented, determined and bound for success.
"She was one of the best students, because of her determination," said Sakamoto, who had breakfast with Duckworth when she returned to Hawai'i in September to attend a wedding and to speak at a women's leadership conference.
"She was something else, very intelligent, very goal-oriented. She was an athlete. She participated in basketball, volleyball and track."
And according to Duckworth, she was and still is a girly girl. A photo of her looking stylish and feminine in a short satin dress appears in the 1985 McKinley High yearbook, for which Duckworth wrote the epilogue.
Another yearbook picture of her throwing a discus offers a different perspective. The accompanying caption reads: "Tammy Duckworth proves that females are more than equal to the task."
Duckworth, who holds a master's degree in international affairs from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Hawai'i in 1989.
UH political science professor Ira Rohter said she was a noticeable presence even then.
"Here was somebody who stood out and was asking questions," said Rohter, who recalls having Duckworth in one of his courses.
"She was inquisitive. There was a critical analysis. She was one of those people who read the material and then would talk and argue with you about it."
Rohter said he's not surprised now to find Duckworth on the national stage.
"I think she has a sophisticated understanding of what's going on," he said. "I'm intrigued with what it is that she wants to accomplish."
On the local level in Illinois, Duckworth wants to accomplish the sorts of things that matter to the people in the 6th District ââ¬â better education, higher-paying jobs for young graduates, and affordable healthcare.
And she isn't shy about speaking her mind on controversial subjects. Duckworth talks about what she sees as a lack of leadership in Washington, D.C., record federal debt and bad fiscal policies that benefit the rich.
"Invading Iraq was a mistake," she says on her Tammy Duckworth for Congress Web site. "We should have focused our military resources instead on pursuing the terrorists who attacked our country and on capturing Osama Bin Laden."
Once she was discharged from active duty in late December, Duckworth was no longer restricted from making political statements. She remains in the Illinois National Guard on a Continuation On Active Reserve status ââ¬â one of two severely injured soldiers given that special status, she said.
Out of uniform, she'll say what's on her mind, taking her cues largely from those who know firsthand what she's been through.
"I have a lot of respect for that World War II generation who came back from the war and changed this country," said Duckworth, whose husband, Bryan Bowlsbey, is a captain in the Army National Guard.
"Sen. Daniel Inouye was in that generation. Bob Dole and John F. Kennedy were in that generation."
Duckworth's dad, a Marine who received a Purple Heart for wounds received in Okinawa and the driving influence of her life, was of that generation. He died of heart failure on Jan. 28, 2005.
His daughter has nothing but praise for her fellow soldiers in the Middle East who she says risk their lives daily, watch their buddies get killed, and then keep going the next day.
"What's happened is they've done their duty, but the politicians have failed them," she said.
Too many legislators don't have a personal stake in the decision process ââ¬â their sons aren't serving, Duckworth said. And that's why she remains in the military.
"Because if I get into Congress, the next time they decide whether or not to send troops into battle, I want to be there to make that decision.
"At least my butt will be on the line. I'm not just going to send somebody else. I'm going to be sending myself."
As for those who might criticize her views as somehow unpatriotic, Duckworth said bring it on.
"I've already had an RPG blow up in my lap," she said. "After that, take your best shot. I'm going to get up and fight for what I think is right."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 1, 2012
Funding Will Increase Hours of Operation and Improve Access to Vital Health Services
Schumer: Funding Is Just What Doctor Ordered For Local Residents
Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced a grant totaling $498,500 for the Rochester Primary Care Network through a Capital Development – Immediate Facility Improvement grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The funding will bring significant aid to local dental health centers in Mount Morris and Lyons, NY.
"This is just what the doctor, or in this case, the dentist, ordered for Livingston and Wayne County area residents," said Schumer. "I applaud the Department of Health and Human Services for funding these improvements that will improve the quality and accessibility of the crucial services offered by Rochester Primary Care Network."
Specifically at the Mount Morris location, providers will finally upgrade so that they can offer state-of-the-art pediatric dentistry. They will also be able to provide for patients in need of aggressive treatment and add space for a care coordinator. At the Lyons location, providers will be able to serve more patients and go from working 4 days a week to 5 days a week with a full range of services including introducing a new electronic health records system.
In New York, Community health centers provide high quality, affordable and accessible primary medical, dental and preventive care to more than 1.4 million New Yorkers at over 470 sites in urban, suburban and rural settings.
Recent increased funding for America's community health centers began with a $2 billion investment in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act included $11 billion in funding for community health centers. The two laws combined will help America's community health centers to serve nearly twice as many patients as before. The newly awarded funds will support renovation and construction projects and boost a center's ability to care for additional patients while creating jobs in those communities. Community health centers are an integral source of local employment and economic growth in many underserved and low-income communities. In 2010, they employed more than 131,000 staff and new funds made available today will help create thousands of jobs nationwide.
As part of the ACA, the Capital Development-Immediate Facility Improvements (CD-IFI) emphasizes shorter-term projects and is providing approximately $100 million to existing health centers to address immediate facility needs. Health Center Program grantees requesting CD-IFI funding must demonstrate how their proposal will address the immediate facility improvement needs at their current site(s). Health centers improve the health of the nation's vulnerable populations and underserved communities by ensuring access to primary health care services. Currently, more than 8,100 service delivery sites around the country deliver care to nearly 20 million patients regardless of their ability to pay.
In addition to providing essential health care, community health centers also provide high-quality jobs in communities nationwide. In 2010, they employed more than 131,000 staff including 9,600 physicians, 6,400 nurse practitioners, physicians' assistants, and certified nurse midwives, 11,400 nurses, 9,500 dental staff, 4,200 behavioral health staff, and more than 12,000 case managers and health education, outreach, and transportation staff. Since the beginning of 2009, health centers have added more than 18,600 new full-time positions in many of the nation's most economically distressed communities. The funding awards announced today will infuse critical dollars into health centers and their surrounding communities, enhancing health centers' ability to serve more patients and creating thousands of jobs across the country.

Ladies We Love: Army Wives' Catherine Bell
June 3, 2011 at 10:00 am , by Lauren Piro
Actress Catherine Bell, 42, is one busy woman. She stars in Lifetime's hit drama Army Wives (don't miss this season's finale on Sunday, June 12!), stars in the new Lifetime movie, Last Man Standing, and, oh yeah, she's a wife and a mom of an 8-year-old and 9-month-old. She wears many hats (and, apparently, never tires), but one thing holds true across the board – everything she does is a labor of love.
"I hear from real army wives a lot. I'll often see them in airports, and I get the best feedback. They'll tell me that the show helps them get through when their husbands are deployed. It warms my heart."
Not enough reasons to love Catherine? We had her answer our Ladies We Love questions for a few more:
What makes me a lady
Being classy, and using whatever abilities I can to help others. As an actress I use my voice to support charities and causes I believe in, which is important to me. I often work with children's hospitals and thyroid cancer organizations, since I had thyroid cancer when I was 21. I also work with a charity called Criminon, which helps prisoners become upstanding members of society once they are released.
Favorite guilty pleasures
Chocolate, for sure. And lately the TV show Games of Thrones, but that's more of a wonderful pleasure—it's a great show. And shopping! I try to support local businesses here in Charleston, where Army Wives is filmed, as much as I can, but when I'm busy I also love Amazon and Gilt. We're literally on a first name basis with our UPS guy.
Three things on my life list
Learning how to fly a plane. And just to keep learning and growing and working on that a little every day. You either get better or worse in life, you don't stay the same.
If I could have a superpower it would be…
To fly really fast. I have so many friends all over the world, and to be able to just be like "boom, here I am," would be great.
Ladies I admire
Eleanor Roosevelt is at the top of my list. She was really instrumental in developing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which a lot of people don't know exists, but should. And JK Rowling—I love her underdog story.

There is enough energy - human, the earth's, the infinite energy of the divine, to cope with the enormous problems of the world today, chiefly climate change and related human poverty and suffering. It is necessary, though for this energy to be applied and applied wisely for the saving effects to be brought forth. It is too bad that the Roman Catholic Church has chosen to expend funds of its available energy (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/02/us/catholic-church-unveils-order-for-ex-episcopalians.html) including what might be viewed as a kind of low-level creativity on making a national refuge for disaffected Episcopal priests and the lay people who follow them.
Make no mistake, these angry ex-Episcopal priests and their flocks are not victims; they have not suffered persecution of any sort other than that they are repulsed by the stance of The Episcopal Church on the status of women and of lesbian, gay, transgendered and bisexual people in the Church and in the world. I can speak with some authority on this, having served in the Episcopal House of Bishops since 2002, a period spanning the explosive events around the election, confirmation, and consecration of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire.
Read it all.

That's big-time decline, there, bishop. And it's been a slow, steady decline from 2005 onward.
But even worse [for a revisionist TEC bishop] is that the plate and pledge is in the tank. It's at a level of [gasp] 2003—steady decline and with the costs of insurance and maintenance and so much more rising, the diocese has got to be hurting.

The reason I left religious "conservatism" behind was that I grew tired of the political position, i.e. that God only works through the conservative, the fundamentalist, the scrupulous legalist—that condemnation, rejection, and suspicion are more a theological "sure thing" than charity and giving others a chance. I am a sinner and always will be. The only "righteousness" I see is in Christ—not in bishops, clergy, popes, conservatives, liberals, or generals of any persuasion. As far I'm concerned, those who want to return to Rome are certainly free to do so—but I don't consider them loyal churchmen in the way I consider, for example, pro-choice Catholics to be loyal churchmen—who love their church no matter what. The people who stay in the Episcopal Church are the loyal Anglicans; the others never were Anglicans. This is one Indian who ain't returning to the reservation!February 8, 1:01 pm | [comment link]

Um . . . rather obviously they're not "loyal churchmen" to TEC . . . and they're not looking to be either. They're in Rome now.
RE: ". . . in the way I consider, for example, pro-choice Catholics to be loyal churchmen. . . "
Right—because flouting their dearly beloved church's theology and practice is the perfect way to show "love."
RE: "The people who stay in the Episcopal Church are the loyal Anglicans; the others never were Anglicans."
I disagree. The folks who have gone to Rome have obviously accepted Roman Catholic doctrine and dogma and are, therefore, not Anglicans. But at one time they 1) accepted Anglican doctrine and dogma [at least, what was once professed as such] and 2) did not accept RC doctrine and dogma, and during that time, they most certainly were Anglicans.
I'm just fine with saying "they're not Anglicans now"—they'd say the same, after all. But to assert that somebody "never was an Anglican" is just silly and implies that nobody can ever change their minds about their beliefs.
Quite obviously—you did because you assert that you once were religiously conservative and now are not.February 8, 1:12 pm | [comment link]

Pro-choice Catholics are hypocrites.
As to ''loving their Church'', it's pretty much a tribal identity thing. A fair few don't even go to Mass, or go for family events, a fair few more gather in like-minded enclaves such as St. Joan's in Minneapolis. Some more infect their local parish, looking down their noses at the hoi-polloi. A large number assert their opinions privately and ignore any contrary arguments. It's fair to say they may love their parish or some Catholic they don't want to hurt, but they certainly don't love the Faith of the Catholic Church.
In all cases, these self-identified Catholics would never think of leaving the tribe. The ''whys'' of that are a book waiting to be written.February 8, 2:35 pm | [comment link]

The "righteous" are too "scrupulous" to hob-nob with the filthy "sinners"! My point is that the push-pull relationship between the "righteous" conservatives and the "heretical" liberals has resulted in a gross distortion of whatever the discussion/controversy was in the first place. Each position pushes the other to extremes. And the way is narrow. It's a matter, I suppose, of what kinds of sinners we wish to love. I personally have trouble with the "professional" Christians who object most strenously to the "errors" of PECUSA while overlooking those of Rome. Woe unto you, O scribes and Pharisees! It has been my experience that those who cast aspersions on other people's churches, faith, or religion are grossly dissatisfied with their own. I leave my Episcopal church each Sunday full of joy, with "Christ in my belly," as the Orthodox say. It's oh-so-fashionable to lament the state of the Episcopal Church. Lament the state of Christianity instead! Christianity is not an ideology but a state of the soul—and takes MANY forms.

Ad Orientem,
As much as I would like to agree with you, a Roman Catholic is a Roman Catholic unless they renounce being a Roman Catholic by formal defection or they join another church. An excommunicate RC is still a Catholic. I went looking for a source to verify that, and found this:
Now, this article kills what little respect I have for Fr. Andrew Greeley. He has clearly fallen off of the left edge of reason, charity, and simple decency. However, he states rather well the reasons people stay in the Catholic Church and why even those who, practically speaking, leave, don't formally leave.
Despite all of my comments, I'm really rather glad we aren't too ready to formalize the disconnection a lot of people live out. At the end of the day, a lot of those people seek out the ministry of a priest and reconcile to Christ (I've personally known two and rumors are out that Fidel Castro may yet reconcile). We should do nothing that discourages those people.February 8, 5:30 pm | [comment link]

You consider abortion a great evil yet you quite happily remain part of a "church" that enthusiastically supports the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. You also say that you consider abortion to be suicide, whatever that means in this context, yet you say that you are neither pro abortion nor pro life. Me, I think that like most Episcopalians, you'd rather not take an actual stand about something and potentially get somebody mad at you and so you claim that you're above all the common sinners down there who spend time arguing about such things.
If you get the time, you might want to read Revelation 3:14-17 for Our Lord's view of that sort of mindset. And as for "attacking" the Episcopal Church, telling the truth is not an attack. I will call out any organization that calls itself Christian and yet distorts the Gospel of Jesus Christ as badly as the Episcopalians do.

Then why have you spent the thread casting aspersions on Rome? Surely you're not dissatisfied with TEC.

Not really. Only amongst the minority of orthodox Christians in TEC.

I could not tell whether Michael A was referring to me as "rather an angry soul," because I don't think I am! Why be angry when Christ has already drawn this tragic world into Himself? To Sarah I would say that no way am I casting aspersions on Rome. I am bound to Rome by very deep personal bonds of affection. In fact, I am a bond-servant of Rome. If you want Rome, go to Rome—but when you go to Rome and discover that she too is mortal, you may discover that you left someone you loved (the Episcopal Church) only because you lacked charity toward her mortality as she struggles under the weight of her cross. A suggestion: See the Episcopal Church for what she is, not for what she isn't. In the 1960s the Episcopal Church was targeted by the Left. Since the 1980s the Episcopal Church has been targeted by the Right. The rank and file of the Episcopal Church are shell-shocked and abused; they have had nothing but 50 years of social upheaval. Let the church heal. If you want to witness to the heresies of the Episcopal Church, by all means do so—but do not violate the Church's sense of decency and order. And by the way, remember what Saint Paul saith: We prophecy in part!February 9, 1:58 pm | [comment link]

RE: "Let the church heal."
The Episcopal Church will never heal as long as its current leaders remain in the positions of power that they do. They are determined to enforce their faux gospel on everybody in the church and thus it is being torn limb from limb.

Is it possible that Alex Ovechkin is out of his big, nasty scoring drought?
That was the lone rival goal on Monday rival night as the rival Penguins fell to the rival Capitals on rival network Versus. Rival. At least, that's what I took out of the telecast. Hey guys, WE GET IT. They're rivals... or something.
Seriously, though, it was a pretty slow affair between the two clubs. That's understandable, said SB Nation's Japers Rink.
The style of tonight's game wasn't too difficult to predict before the opening face-off. On one hand you had a Caps team playing on back-to-back days at the end of a five-game cross-country road trip and still missing vital players, including Mike Green. On the other hand, Pittsburgh was also playing on back-to-back days and missing their two superstars - Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin - as well as a host of other players due to injury or trade.
Just because the contest was low scoring, though, doesn't mean that it wasn't entertaining. Just seconds before Ovechkin's cannon got Washington on the board, Michal Neuvirth made a gorgeous breakaway stop on Jordan Staal. It was one of his 39 saves on the evening.
Ovechkin's goal was his seventh point in six games. The Capitals have taken seven straight wins from the Pens in Pittsburgh, whether that's at Mellon Arena, Heinz Field or CONSOL Energy Center.

In a week filled with controversies surrounding Spanish referees--from Gerard Piqué's comments about premeditated decisions, to ex-Barcelona Vice President Godall's suggestion that Guardiola and company treat referees better to garner some favor, to referees not calling two penalties on Real Madrid in the last seconds of their 2-3 win over Betis--today's matches between Atletico Madrid and Granada, and Espanyol and Rayo Vallecano did little to throw water on the fire.
Atlético put on a show against a Granada side that lacked any punch offensively--los rojiblancos dominated the ball, and caused some havoc in Granada's back line, but couldn't seem to score. It wasn't Simeone's Atletico's best match of the year, but it certainly wasn't their worst; and what they lacked in subtlety on the ball they made up for in physicality and luck. Atleti scored their first goal in the 38th minute, when Miranda blasted in a bouncing ball off a botched corner by Koke. Minutes before, referee Mateu Lahoz had cut off a promising Granada attack by calling a handball on attacking midfielder Henrique--replays showed that this was not the correct call.
Granada were badly hurt by the goal. They tried to react for the rest of the match, but had a very complicated time moving out of Atleti's midfield; both sides had a couple chances in the second half, but nothing of interest until the 84th minute. Henrique, the player who had already been incorrectly penalized for a non-handball, went to ground to try to dispossess one of the Atleti players; Mateu Lahoz showed him a direct red card, an extremely harsh choice given the way the game had progressed.
Minutes later, Radamel Falcao scored to end the match, after a fantastic run by Juanfran. The goal was pretty much incidental, but I like the way that Falcao celebrates, so I guess there's that.
Final Score: Atlético Madrid 2-0 Granada.
Espanyol thrashed upstart Rayo Vallecano Sunday afternoon, to lay claim to one of the higher spots in the classification. Espanyol had seemingly lost their mojo, after a series of mediocre results that was capped off with a brutal loss at Real Madrid last week; however, they came out strong against a Rayo side that looked out of their depth.
Uche scored the first goal within three minutes, when he headed home a fantastic cross from the right side. Rayo goalkeeper Joel looked like he could have had a play on the ball, but he was inexplicably turned to stone (as they say in Spain) as the ball flew by him.
Coutinho sentenced the game only six minutes later after a brilliantly played quick foul in the midfield. Sergio García, long a favorite of mine, beat the entire Rayo side in midfield, then ceded to Coutinho at the last second. The game would only get more open from there, as Espanyol attacked relentlessly, and would go on to score three more times.
Ex-Espanyol forward (and Real Madrid legend) Raul Tamudo would write the footnote of the night: his goal in the 54th minute (to make it 4-1 to Espanyol) was his first in Espanyol's new stadium Cornellà-El Prat. He's now the only player to have scored at all three Espanyol stadiums (Sarriá, Montjuic, and Cornellà).
Final Score: Espanyol 5-1 Rayo Vallecano
