WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Police say a man shot in the neck early Sunday morning is in stable condition.
According to officials, officers with the Wilmington Police Department were called to reports of shots fired on Vance Street, just off Shipyard Blvd., around 3:45 Sunday morning.
The victim, who was reportedly shot in the neck, was the person who called 911. He told officials he was walking along Vance Street when the shooter yelled obscenities and then shot him.
He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive. His name has not been released.
Police say the suspect is a man in his 20s with short hair. He was wearing a red jacket and carrying a dark colored gun at the time of the shooting.
Police believe they know who was involved in the shooting but are not ready to release details to the media as the investigation is ongoing.

Remembering those forgotten in the desert
by Ryan SlatteryEvery year, hundreds of Mexican immigrants die in the Arizona desert. This year will be no different. Their deaths generally receive little more then a mention in some local papers. But author and poet Luis Alberto Urrea is trying to change that.
In The Devil's Highway, Urrea chronicles the ill-fated journey of a group of poor immigrants — mostly farmers and factory-workers — who set out in May 2001 on what they thought was a two-day walk to better wages north of the border. Only 12 of the 26 men who entered the desert survived the trip; the other 14 died in the 110-degree Sonoran furnace.
The trip was doomed from the start, writes Urrea. The experienced guide, or "coyote," who best knew the smuggling route skipped out, leaving 19-year-old Jesus Lopez Ramos, or "Mendez", as he was known to the group, to lead the way. Wrong turns and poor decisions sealed the migrants' fate.
"For a long time, the Border Patrol had worried that something bad was coming," he writes. "Something to match or outstrip the terrible day in 1980, when a group of Salvadorans was abandoned in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and thirteen of them died." Upon discovering the survivors, the border agents "knew the apocalypse had finally come."
The Devil's Highwayis not a light read: It's a rough ride that provides an honest and sometimes gory account of the struggles the group endured. A tale of hope, horror and survival, the book gives readers new insight into the world of the smugglers, migrants and the Border Patrol itself.

GBP plans on stacking the card with WW fights. Could be as many as 4 fights. So who do you think will be on it? I say Maidana, Matthyse, Josesito Lopez, and thats all I can think off.

Yeah I streamed the Carson Jones fight...I would only HOPE that Brook just didn't take camp all that seriously...I hope. I actually like Devon's power at WW...when he's in position and able to land it flush, which doesn't happen all that often.
Maidana would be a nightmare for Brook at this point. Had he gotten to Maidana before Devon, then I would've claimed an easy victory for Brook, but not so much nowadays. Maidana actually works behind his jab and still has power...all of which equals "nightmare" for Brook.
Screw Khan...cant stand this dude. Why does Brook have to get past Alexander before he fights him? Sounds like Khan is once again, putting himself up higher on the totem pole, than he actually needs to be. Khan couldn't even get past a B+ heavy-handed Garcia at 140, so why is he already ranking his worth at WW? Is this Molina fight at 140 or 147?
I agree. I could see maidana having more success than Jones did against kell.
And it looks like Khan is looking past yet another opponent lol we've seen what's happened before when he does this

And we're soon to see a repeat. It's clear that Khan is a fighter with self-presumed sense of worth and entitlement. As a fighter, you should rank yourself high, but don't piss your way through fights, get stopped, take the blame, and slowly blame-shift when the situation starts to fizzle down.

The Commercial-News
---- — Editor:
The Washington elite were supposed to be on Obamacare, just like most of us. Now that they see what it's going to cost, they don't want it. So, as usual with the Democratic Party in charge, it's been changed. They went to Sen. Harry Reid. He went to President Obama, and they are now exempt from this health care bill.
So many other waivers were granted for a lot of their campaign contributors.
In essence, who is going to pay once again for these pampered politicians in Washington, yes, once again?
The taxpayers.
The major portions of this health care bill are a shame, and the majority of the American people and business owners don't want it.
Amidst all of the scandals, cover-ups, lies, backpedaling and continued spending, the people have nothing but disgust for this reckless and dysfunctional government.

San Francisco 49ers
Justin Smith - #94 - DT
|6' 4"/ 285 lbs.
|Jefferson City, MO
|Years played
|2001, 1st round, 4th pick by Bengals
49ers' fall from grace in Seattle hard to stomach
After starting out like a house on fire in their season opener in Seattle, the 49ers crashed and burned in embarrassing fashion in Seattle, receiving a very rude awakening from Pete Carroll's fired-up Seahawks.
Hasselbeck leads Seahawks to opening-day rout
Matt Hasselbeck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as the Seattle Seahawks gave new coach Pete Carroll a winning start with a 31-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Niners' Baas relishes challenge of new position
San Francisco's David Baas has really taken to the challenge of moving from guard to center, where he looks more natural, according to NFC West Whispers.
Five football recipes to try out on game day
We asked five NFL players for the recipes they like the most, and they served up some delicious-sounding fare.
Report: 49ers' Davis becomes league's highest-paid TE
Vernon Davis has reportedly agreed to a five-year, $37 million contract extension, making the 49ers' tight end the highest-paid player at his position.
49ers spat possibly due to Crabtree's inactivity
We hear the profanity-laced altercation between Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree the day before the 49ers' preseason finale might have been triggered by frustration over Crabtree's lack of playing time.
RB Robinson one of 22 Niners let go
The 49ers have cut special-teams standout Michael Robinson among the 22 players released on Friday.
TE Davis and WR Crabtree argue at 49ers practice
TE Vernon Davis and WR Michael Crabtree had to be removed from practice and counseled by coach Mike Singletary following a non-football related dispute.
Searching for QB help next year?
PFW's Eric Edholm identifies the teams that are most likely to seek QB help before the 2011 season begins a year from now.
Report: 49ers NT Franklin to sign franchise tender
NT Aubrayo Franklin is ending his contract dispute with the 49ers. He will return to San Francisco on Saturday to undergo his physical and sign his franchise tender.
Forget about 49ers having morale issues
The perception that the back-to-back exits of Kentwan Balmer and Glen Coffee from the 49ers might be indicative of some sort of teamwide morale problem is totally off base, the way we hear it.
49ers release veteran WR Jones
The 49ers announced Wednesday that they have released sixth-year veteran WR Brandon Jones, who never lived up to expectations after signing with the team as a free agent early last offseason.
49ers' system will determine Crabtree's fantasy worth
There's reason to believe Michael Crabtree could be much more of a fantasy force in 2010 — provided the Niners' offensive system gives him enough opportunities.
49ers land RB Westbrook
The 49ers signed veteran RB Brian Westbrook to a one-year deal, creating one of the league's top backfields.
Report: 49ers trade Balmer to Seattle
The 49ers have reportedly traded DL Kentwan Balmer, who had been AWOL from training camp, to Seattle.
Smith will be out Sunday night for the 49ers because of an elbow injury, ending his streak of consecutive starts at 185.||||||| With Smith out, the 49ers will start Ricky Jean Francois at defensive end against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. The 49ers will also be without backup linebacker Clark Haggans with a shoulder injury.
Smith was ejected after making contact with umpire Garth DeFelice following a play against San Diego in a 34-7 loss on Thursday night.||||||| The lineman was in an argument with at least one Chargers player when he appeared to shove DeFelice, who was trying to keep him out of the scuffle.
The 49ers signed the free-agent defensive end Smith on Saturday in a move they hope will bolster their pass rush.||||||| Smith, the No. 4 overall pick by Cincinnati in 2001, had 43 1/2 sacks in seven seasons with the Bengals and was one of the top pass rushers available on the free agent market this season. His deal is reportedly for six years and is worth $45 million, including $20 million in guarantees.
The Bengals on Tuesday re-signed Smith, their leading tackler on the defensive line, for the season after designating him as their franchise player in February.||||||| Cincinnati said it is talking to Smith about a long-term deal. Smith is a productive player, and keeping him around is a smart move for a Bengals team that allowed an average of 27.0 points en route to losing their last three games last season, missing the playoffs. The seven-year pro has led Cincinnati's line in tackles in each of the last five seasons.
Smith, who has led Cincinnati's line in tackles in each of the last five seasons, was designated as the Bengals' franchise player Thursday. Smith would have become an unrestricted free agent March 2 if he doesn't reach a contract agreement with the Bengals before then. The franchise tag means the Bengals could keep Smith by matching any offer sheet he signed with another team.||||||| Smith had 110 tackles in the 2006 season and ranked second on the team in sacks with 7.5.


text: Does a Racial Disparity Exist Between Education and US Employment? A recent survey conducted by non-partisan NGO Young Invincibles revealed that a racial disparity exists between one's level of education and the person's ability to be hired. There exists a disparity between African American people and Caucasian people at each educational level. African American high-school dropouts are less likely than their white counterparts to find a job: the difference in odds stands at 15 percent for males and 12 percent for females. In order to have similar chances of employment as a young, white male adult with only a high school education, an African American man will need at least some college educational experience. However, on a more positive note, a young African American adult with a degree is far more likely than a young Caucasian adult to benefit from an increase in pay following the completion of his or her education. Although this may serve as less comforting, the disparity statistics at the bachelor degree level is far smaller: male African Americans with bachelor's degree are only 5 percent less likely to find a job than their white peers; this rate stands at a 3 percent difference for females.

80 - Anne of Green Gables
Precocious, headstrong girls found a kindred spirit in Anne Shirley, the heroine of Anne of Green Gables. The red-headed orphan was spunky and bright and won over everyone she encountered, especially her adoptive parents Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert who originally wanted a boy. From Anne of Green Gables, we were taught about the importance of "bosom" friendship and keeping a courageous spirit.

When I think of the game bingo, I think of a room full of seniors with their cards, and those magic marker stamps. After all it is a staple for the senior crowd. The high stakes games are at the Indian Reservation where the serious players do more than one card at a time. And for the kiddy crowd, the ever popular car bingo can pass the hours on a trip (when the Zune battery drains, of course).
However, there appears to be yet another version of this venerable game. At the South By Southwest conference (SXSW), they decided to turn bingo into a picture game. The cards had various targets of pictures, and the lower right hand one was "Someone using a Zune." While the other categories included "Geek girl," "Techy Mom," and "Someone using a Kindle," I think that it's notable that the Zune ended up in the Gadgets column. Should I point out that a certain player named after a popular fruit didn't make the cut for the card?

Hudson River Estuary
'A Day in the Life of the Hudson River'
Our 2014 event will be held Thursday October 16th - register now!
We have over a decade of students - undergraduates to elementary school - joining together one special day a year to sample, learn and engage with the Hudson River! In the last 11 years we have engaged over 23,000 participants in our Day in the Life events, bringing students, teachers and educators to the Hudson River for sampling, learning and fun! Register now for 2014 (pdf) or (word). Also check the 2014 workshops for teachers and educators including this year's HUDSON RIVER FISH: ECOLOGY & IDENTIFICATION FIELD TRIP being offered August 6th.
Check our 2013 webpage for results or check out our activity sheets from the event posted below. And be sure to look over data from earlier years, and for activity sheets from those events!
The event is designed to celebrate the Hudson River Estuary and educate participants on the uniqueness of our estuary as part of the annual recognition of "National Estuaries Week". The event is coordinated by The Hudson River Estuary Program of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Each fall, environmental education centers are encouraged to team with school classes along the Hudson River to create a day-in-the-life picture of the river from the Troy Dam to New York Harbor. The event began in 2003 with a modest 300 plus student participants and has grown until in our most recent event, October 2012, we involved over 3765 students and individual participants almost 70 sites from the New York Bight up to Lock 5 in the Hudson River, and into the Mohawk watershed, a major Hudson River tributary. Each site gathers data on the Hudson and shares their results, gaining a better understanding of this historic and vital estuary system. Data, Lesson Plans, Resources...lots of resource materials are provided here for your use in joining us on a virtual exploration of the river...and plan to join us on in 2013 for your own dip in the Hudson River as part of our Day in the Life on the Hudson River! How can you get involved? Register and/or Contact Margie Turrin of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Rebecca Houser, Chris Bowser, or Steve Stanne of The Hudson River Estuary Program to learn more about this event.

Ending the IoT Protocol Wars
It's been a while since my last blog post – not least because I have been traveling quite a bit to run Layer 7's European API workshops together with my colleague Ronnie Mitra. The workshops (part of Layer7′s outreach program via the apiacademy.co) are vendor-neutral and focused on sharing API design and management best practices.
To be honest, I probably learn as much during these workshops as the participants do. It has certainly been striking to watch how our material evolves throughout the workshops. We constantly keep adding and tweaking material, based on what we learn. In particular, I'm struck by the amount of changes my IoT section has been going through.
Here is what I have learned regarding IoT protocols: It's a zoo out there, with lots of protocols trying to become the next HTTP. And some candidates deploy a formidable array of marketing, making it exceedingly hard to cut through the fog.
My current shortlist of main contenders is (in alphabetical order):
I might add STOMP to that list, just for its simple brilliance. STOMP is a text-based messaging protocol that has recently been extended to allow for binary content. Additionally, I've recently started talking with some transportation companies and learning about their use of DDS, which might be another candidate for the shortlist.
In the corner of residing champion, we have JSON/HTTP. Not content to see this protocol pushed into early retirement, advocates have been developing some very interesting approaches that attempt to ensure the continuing relevance of HTTP for asynchronous small messages – WebSocket being the most well-known. Hypercat, Simple Thing Protocol and EventedAPI represent just a small sample of the interesting approaches emerging to support async eventing and messaging with HTTP.
Where does this leave a developer trying to choose the right protocol for that awesome winged steam punk toaster? I don't really have the answer but there are some documents trying to tease out the differences. Take a look at the MQTT vs. CoAP comparison from 1248.io or the DDS/AMQP/MQTT/JMS/REST comparison from DDS champion PrismTech.
Based on what I've learned so far, only XMPP and DDS have significant commercial deployments while MQTT is being evaluated by almost every major vendor I have talked to. While MQTT's use as the protocol powering Facebook's messenger is a good demonstration of its scalability, I don't think this constitutes a proof point for mission-critical commercial deployments. If you know of commercial deployments of MQTT, I'd love to hear about them.
Each protocol has weaknesses: MQTT appears to be weak in security; DDS seems to be complex to scale and has version dependencies; XMPP is considered heavy-weight. But they all have strengths too, of course: DDS has the deployments in the field to prove its relevance; XMPP supports EXI and WebSocket for efficiency and a proven track record; both DDS and XMPP are extremely mature and have built-in security. Given the industry interest in MQTT, I am sure that whatever security problems exist will be fixed in one of the next versions. The one puzzling piece is the absence of CoAP in a commercial deployment. Again, if you know of one, please let me know.
Where do I stand on all of this? Having watched technologies rise and fall, I think it's very normal at this stage to have multiple contenders trying to improve on HTTP. What I try to keep in mind though is that both bandwidth and computing power seem to be on an ever-increasing trajectory, while at the same time becoming cheaper and cheaper. Reduction in power consumption and increase in battery capacity, mostly driven through mobile, further lowers the bar for mainstream technology to power even small devices. I would not be surprised if, after the initial phase, we continue to see HTTP and JSON being dominant. As geeks, we sometimes get too excited about efficiency gains while losing sight of the fact that, for most products, technology simply needs to be good enough. But I won't complain if I am proven wrong this time.
And don't just take my word for any of this. To help you learn more, here are a couple of other articles reviewing IoT protocols:

President Obama spent Tuesday morning meeting with members of a Congress hesitant to strike Syria.
More than a dozen congressional leaders were at the White House meeting but Tennessee's 4th District Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R) was in the Channel 3 studio talking about his stance on Syria.
DesJarlais said he was the only member of Congress from Tennessee present during a Syria debriefing Sunday in Washington, D.C.
"Before I went up I was opposed to any military action in Syria. I came back with that same opinion. After reviewing the documents, I just don't think there's any reason for the U.S. to get involved in this civil war at this point," he said.
DesJarlais said it's evident chemical weapons were used to kill in Syria but said that most Americans aren't ready for a strike.
"The mood of the American people not wanting to engage in another war like Iraq or Afghanistan at this point," he said. "I don't think there is an imminent threat to the United States or its allies
President Obama is trying to convince leaders like DesJarlais the attack wouldn't be another Iraq or Afghanistan.
DesJarlais said if a vote was held today, he doesn't think a strike would pass Congress.
"So right now it's an issue for every mom and dad who has a son or daughter in the military. This is potentially a tipping point for escalation in a Middle East war," he told Channel 3.
Congress meets in Washington September 9.

Release Date: 1996 |
really good review, and summary
I want this now
Good review, album rules although I never had any beef with Jon to begin with, or even Bard for that matter. Have you heard Vinterland yet? If you havent, check them out along with 'The Black", the final recordings from.Jon Nodtveidt.
Album Rating: 4.5Really good review man. This album sound great.Digging: Engraved - Before The Tales
Digging: Engraved - Before The Tales
I haven't heard The Black yet but Vinterland is amazing.
Album Rating: 3.5This sounds right up my alley, I'll get this ASAP. Good work.
Album Rating: 4.5Getting this right now.
Think of it like Dissection, but without the murder, racism and other bullshit associated with Jon Nodtveidt.
So what your telling me from the summary is that these guys sound exactly the same as Dissection but without the bullshit associated with it? That doesn't sound too appealing. But your review makes up for this though and I will give you a vote. Sorry, I'm just nitpicking. Digging: YOB - Clearing The Path To Ascend
Think of it like Dissection, but without the murder, racism and other bullshit associated with Jon Nodtveidt.
Digging: YOB - Clearing The Path To Ascend
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah I'm listening right now and they do sound a whole lot like Dissection. Not that its a bad thing.
Wizard, i get what you mean but you can the band was so heavily influenced by Dissection that its really unavoidable
Album Rating: 3.5I love Dissection so i pretty much owe it to myself to check it out.
Havent been able to find that The Black album balls. Whered you find it?Digging: Old Witch - Come Mourning Come
Digging: Old Witch - Come Mourning Come
yeah balls, where did you find that?
Album Rating: 3.5This is very good but not quite up to the level of Storm of the Lights Bane or even The Somberlain.
Album Rating: 3.5yeah balls, where did you find that?
If you're talking about Alongside Death by The Black, I don't know where he found it but I know that I had to directly contact Daniel Bragman of Vinterland to acquire a copy of the LP. He runs the label which released it, limited to 666 copies. I'm expecting it in the mail within a few weeks, if it's even released yet.This Message Edited On 08.24.08
Yeah, I never bothered to look for it, I was just judging from myspace tracks which were pretty badass and wanted to share it to the community after it's been on my chest for some time now. Nowthat I know it's a mother fucker to find, i'll have to consider pulling a Crysis here, although no credit card........This Message Edited On 08.24.08
Album Rating: 4.5This is very good but not quite up to the level of Storm of the Lights Bane or even The Somberlain.
This is exactly what I though after listening to this SCREAM.
This is very good but not quite up to the level of Storm of the Lights Bane or even The Somberlain.
Album Rating: 3.5Ya this is decent, like a 3 or 3.5 at best.
Album Rating: 4.5Its in between 3.5 and 4 for me. I decided to go with 4 though.
Album Rating: 4.0Decided to up this to a 4.5. I prefer SOTLB but this is pretty close in terms of quality, it's just less memorable.Digging: Eskaton - 4 Visions

I'm using Netweaver 2004s, ECC 6.0, cProjects 4.0.
Is there any way to use cProjects without WFM Core? I'm trying not to use it but I just don't know how.
Thank you in advance
WFM core helps to find out the "availability" of a particular resource in cProjects. Effective cProjects 4.0, the availability function is inbuilt in the features itself. That is you can search a resource based on the availability inside cProjects 4.0. In cProjects 3.1, that feature was not available. Also you can transfer the resources, their availability and qualifications from the HR system to WFM core.
Since you are using cProjects 4.0, you can do away with using WFM core. Please tell me your requirements in resources handling in cProjects and I would be able to give you more insights into it.
p.s. In case you are satisfied with the reply please reward points
The point is I don't need the handling of resources in cProjects. It's OK if cProjects gives me that feature, but I don't want to install an external feature (WFM core).
When I go into cProjects, the screen shows an error 'Communication with the WFM Core system is not possible'. Whatever I do, it's always complaining about WFM Core. I suppose, as I don't need that, there's a way to customize cProjects so I can solve that error. Could you point me to the right documentation / tell me how to solve it?
Thank you very much in advance
Hi, if you could let me know your email address I could forward you the relevant documentation.
My mail is firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you very much
Document sent to the id specified
Hi Anantharam ..
Can you plz send the docs(cProjects without WFM Core) to me on my mail id - email@example.com??
i am using CPR 4.0 and i am facing similar problems...
when i go to system -> status, it shows software component WFMCORE SAPK-20006INWFMCORE is installed.
but when i run PRP_WFM_ADMIN it says that WFM core is not installed.
is there a way to check whether WFM Core is installed and is working fine?
what if i dont want to use WFM core? wat are the other options.
Please forward any imp documentation regarding the same to firstname.lastname@example.com
Warm Regards,
Hi Vivek,
Kindly check your RFC connection to WFM core.
That would surely help.
Could you please share the document on the WFM and cProjects.
Hi Anantharam,
Can you please post me the relevant document on my mail email@example.com

1. Communication with the WFM Core system is not possible
2. Unable to establish connection to LiveCache
I am getting this two error message, can u help me out.
I Hope u have solution of this problem
Can you please post me the relevant document on my eMail
Hi Vanessa,
If you do not have the possibility to install a live cache, there is the workaround to activate the built-in dispatcher.
But to enable this you have to do some changes in two tables:
- Please deselect the "Active Flag" in the table WFD_DSTL (this can be done with transaction se16)
- please delete the entry from table WFD_DSTL_HIST (this has to be done with database means)
- Now you should be able to switch to the Built-In Dispatcher with transaction /SAPAPO/LRP_CONFIG
If useful give me reward points
Venkat bandaru
I am getting the error "Communication with the WFM Core system is not possible" as soon as I log in to cProjects. Could you please send the relevant doc to my id: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks in Advance,
Hi Anantharam,
Can you please post me the relevant document on my eMail
Thanks a lot

Hi Anantharam,

Thanks a lot
Kruno Krznaric
I have the same problems.
Could you please share me the document about WFM.
Thanks in advance
Even i get the same message i.e Communication with the WFM Core system is not possible when I execute the application.
There is one more message i.e Unable to establish connection to LiveCache.
Please, Kindly send me the links of the documents on cProjects .
Hi Guys,
WFM is an addon component provided by SAP for resource planning. It is used with Cproject/ CRM Service/ MRS.
Looking at the error it seems that wither WFM is not installed or that the steup is not complete.
Error about Live Cache is that, once WFM is installed, in the customizing there is a possibility for deciding the scheduler to be used. 1. live Cache 2. built In. For Live Cache, it has to be configured first. LiveCache is also another addon.
If you need any further help or info just write back.
In case you are using Cproject without WFM then you have to maintain this in the Cproject customizing.

Ill give you a clue:
lacking punctuation:
Proms have become big business as formalwear shops ad limousine services offer their services in advertising campaigns.
Incorrect punctuation:
Many see a relationship between these current attitudes and gambling on lotteries, it is easy to understand why more and more people are handing their money over to chance fate and luck if what they are looking for is instant gratification.

In September of 2003, Thomas John, MD, an ophthalmologist and cornea specialist at Advocate South Suburban Hospital, became the first doctor in Illinois - and one of the first in the country - to implant an artificial cornea.
The benefit of the artificial cornea over a transplanted human cornea is that the artificial version carries no risk of rejections. Therefore, it's a good option for patients who are likely to reject a human cornea and are not a candidate for conventional cornea transplant surgery.

The Saints worked out this morning and interim head coach Joe Vitt had a team update, starting with a couple of player injuries.
The biggest news was that of Greg Romeus. The second year defensive end tore ligaments in his left knee and will miss the next six to eight months and in all probability the season. Romeus spent last season on injured reserve while rehabilitating his knee.
First team quarterback Chase Daniel missed practice as well after spraining his right thumb when he hit the helmet of a defender. While Daniel's hairline fracture won't require surgery he will not be able to throw for the next three weeks.
The coach commented on his new his television viewing, Vitt says he now watches the History Channel, "cause I don't watch ESPN anymore."
The New England Patriots contacted the Saints today and are trying to work out plans for joint practices in Foxboro. A decision will be made in the next 24 hours on whether the team will make the trip.
Vitt believes this may be the most talented team the Saints have had since coming to New Orleans, and feels he has a very big obligation to the city and team.
No news conference could be held without a Drew Brees question and the coach feels confident that Brees will be signed by the end of July in time for training camp.

The New American Unspoken Manifesto
by poligirl, Sat Jul 21, 2007 at 05:03:52 AM EDT
I have been thinking lately about that old quote from Nobel prizewinning author Sinclair Lewis: "When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
Thinking in terms of the past several years of the Bush 43 Administration, I can't help but draw many parallels; from the claims of "compassionate conservatism" to the current occupier of the White House consistently trotting out his faith, in a way to reassure that we're on the side of the angels and being led by a guy who is a really devotedly religious fellow. And we all know about the patriotism, or lack thereof, that have been regularly employed in an attempt to stifle any dissent. "Wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." How easy it would be to take over this country simply equipped with well-crafted and sellable rhetoric...

Another case of rabies has
been confirmed in Cumberland County, making 13 cases this year, officials said Friday afternoon.
Friday morning the State Public Health Lab in Raleigh confirmed a case of rabies in the 500 block of Nottingham Drive. On Thursday, a bat was picked up by Animal Control in a home on Nottingham Drive, off Stacey Weaver Drive, and sent for testing. The home owner where the bat was picked up has been notified and is seeking medical advice.
Animal control officers are in the area of Nottingham Drive Friday notifying residents.
All pet owners are urged to check the vaccination status of their pets. If pets are not vaccinated or are due for a booster shot, they should be taken to a local veterinarian for rabies vaccination immediately.
The first sign of rabies in animals is a change in behavior. Animals may become aggressive, attacking for no reason, or they may become very quiet. Wild animals can lose their fear of people and act tame. Rabid animals may walk in a circle, drag a leg or fall over. Some cannot swallow so they are not able to eat or drink and often drool. Animals usually die within a week after first becoming ill.
Avoiding wild animals and keeping your distance from stray dogs and cats is the first step in preventing an animal bite. Any pet, which appears to have been in a fight while outside, should be handled very cautiously and seen by a veterinarian.
If you are bitten or scratched by an animal:
It is also important to vaccinate your pets for rabies and keep their shots current. Pet owners are reminded that all dogs and cats must be vaccinated against rabies, as required by state law.

On KONY 2012
Ah nothing better than a "press a button to make the world a better place" social media campaign to get the young generation in a twist and shout contest about how bad the world is. Ok- before I get into it- I agree in principle that Mr. Kony is one bad motherfucker. What he has done and is doing is wrong. However, I have some serious, serious questions about the Invisible Children Foundation and this KONY2012 campaign.
First off all, and this really got me angry last night watching their twitter feed ( images and screenshots below ) is the fact that the entire campaign is ignoring the fact that KONY is a militant CHRISTIAN, who, in his mind, is doing his God's work. Now, the campaign is trying to plug into the militant and extremely superficial Christian mood in the US to gain support. Woah. I mean, whatever insanity SSanatorium ( no spelling mistake ) is saying is bad enough, but this?
Secondly, why now? This conflict has been going on for over 20 years. Why is this foundation pressuring the US now to get behind this, especially, since the US government is not a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Hence why get involved in something you don't agree to uphold?
