Right wing host denounces Piers Morgan after appearance
Alex Jones, a popular right-winged talk show host, said he was proud of a Monday appearance on "Piers Morgan Tonight," despite it being more of a yelling match rather than a conversation.
According to Forbes, Jones, originally on the show to discuss his desire to deport Morgan, gave himself an "A" for his appearance.
"I give myself about an A,'" Jones said on "The Alex Jones Show" Tuesday, appraising an appearance that mostly involved him shouting over Morgan and refusing to answer questions about what he deemed the "factoids" of gun violence. "The consensus is in. I would say 95% of people thought I just told it like it was, slammed him in the face .I'm proud of the job I did."
Jones claims Morgan is apart of the New World Order, a global conspiracy to pacify people through the removal of firearms and drugging their drinking water, among other methods.
Jones also said CNN's headquarters bore a resemblance to "Hitler's bunker" and was tracked by secret police.
"Let me tell you something, folks: New York City is a giant tomb," he said. Anywhere he went in the city, he said, he was followed by undercover police posing as fans. "They knew where we were. They were obviously tracking us by our cell phones," he said. "It was all just pure intimidation out of a movie."
Highlights from the interview can be seen below.

Virgil Lee McGuff, 25, of Jasper was taken into custody Monday and charged with possession of child pornography by Walker County Sheriff's investigators, Sgt. Dayron Bridges and Sgt. Tim Thomas. He is currently being held in the Walker County Jail on a $100,000 cash bond.
"This case came to us from Cullman County. Our suspect was sending nude photos of himself to a 13-year-old female and in return she sent one to him," Bridges said. "The girls parents found out and notified the Walker County Sheriff's Office."
Bridges said he and Thomas started investigating immediately and were soon able to track McGuff down.
"We've worked this case for about four weeks now and were finally able to collect enough evidence to seize the suspect's iPhone and computer via a search warrant," Bridges said. "Other charges may also be filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation because we also linked him to some child pornography in New York."
Walker County Sheriff John Mark Tirey said the FBI will work the out-of-state angle on the case, and he commended Bridges and Thomas for doing such an outstanding job.
"We're definitely seeing an upswing in our child pornography cases in general, and Dayron and Tim are really doing a great job working them," Tirey said. "I'm glad they were able to collect enough evidence for probable cause for an arrest in this case."
Tirey said cases of this nature are extremely tough to work because of all of the technology issues involved and law enforcement always fears something bad could happen, such as an abduction or even worse, before an offender can be taken into custody.
"I'm very pleased we were able to make an arrest in this case before something happened, other than passing some photos back and forth, and I'd also like to commend the parents of the 13-year-old for not only making us aware of this individual, but for also paying close attention to what their child was up to," Tirey said. "I know being a parent can be a tough job sometimes, but when you think about what could have happened if they hadn't called us ... well, I'm just glad they did."
Bridges said he was glad to see the strong stance taken in Walker County against child pornography and sex abuse cases.
"We're seeing an increase in the child pornography cases because of the digital age we live in today, more and more kids have cell phones and computers these days," Bridges said. "The kids are swapping pictures with each other through the various chat rooms, but that same technology is also making it easier for the sexual predators to target them as well."
Bridges said the sheriff's office recently applied for a grant that will allow them to purchase some specialized equipment to aid in the fight against child pornography in Walker County.
Besides working on the open child pornography and sex offender cases, Bridges and Thomas also manage the 197 sex offenders currently living here.
"Sheriff Tirey goes above and beyond to ensure we have everything we need to not only prosecute the new cases, but also keep up with the registered offenders as well."
Bridges will attend a special school later this month in south Alabama for law enforcement personal who work sex offender cases.
The school will not only serve as a refresher course to current sex offender laws, but it will also allow law enforcement to gain more insight into how sexual predators find and target their victims.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
We are doing full color master studies every day on our journey to get better at art. Join us and continue to Level Up!
Here is today's image for 02/04/14 #1
1. Begin the master study from the image above. Studies are to be in full color. Be faithful to the masterwork. Do not use the color picker. Do not trace. This is an exercise that over time will pump up your skills very quickly.
3. Upload your finished study directly in a reply to today's thread. Every day will have it's own thread with the image of the day.
Time limit - 1 Hour minimum suggested study time. Spend all the time you like today, it is up to you.
A new image for the next study will be uploaded daily.
***Important: be sure that your study and the masterwork is placed side by side in the images that you upload. It is impossible for Level Up participants to critique your work if you do not do this, or to even know how well you did. Make both the study and the masterwork the same size and put them right next to each other in the same image, prior to uploading it.
-Focus on capturing and recreating the largest shapes of color first, so that you are working from broad strokes.
-Do not waste time in the details. Purposely avoid rendering the "fingernails and eyelashes" or insignificant details which distract you from paying attention to the structure of the masterwork. Save the details and tiny brushes for the end.
-Work small. The studies should be approximately the size of a playing card when you begin.
-Be very careful to match the exact shape and format of the image you are studying from. If you draw out the shape of the image and it is longer or taller than the original, then you will struggle. This is a fun activity. Don't make it hard for yourself :)
-Match the colors and shapes, and edges of the shapes, as accurately as you can within the time you have.
-Number the images you upload with a small 1, 2, 3 etc...in the upper left corner, so that it is easy to discuss them when critiques are given.
-You may use any media you wish. Regardless of what you choose, remember to try to match your values and shapes the best you can in the time allowed.
You may begin.
P.S. If you wish to give crits to each other, you may do so right in the thread. As always on conceptart.org, giving critiques and helping each other is encouraged. If you need help, ask for it in your thread and other participants may lend a hand.

anyway, I think this is about 1 1/2 hour. I might have focuesed (and zoomed in) on the figure in red a little too much. and forgot about the rest. :/ sorry.

>>SKETCHBOOK. you'll visit me. I'll visit you, we'll have a tea party. with arts and shit. it'll be dreamy. stop by.
>>mah tumbr
hey guys,
it took me like 1 hour to do it. just zoomed in the last 10 minutes to get some of the details
@ashess i like the depth of the picture. maybe try to use different brushes for the next one
It is interesting to see that you both went a bit desaturated in your reds. You are tinting them...where the artist is relying on the saturation to get the vibrant feeling across.
I got disappeared? Huh.
Thanks for the rescue, ashess. I don't care if Shaw was the Emperor of Illustration -- he effed up that figure on the left.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
just tried out before I go to sleep (saw this on concept.org page on FB), roughly an hour... didn't bother about the details sorry. looking at it now it seems a lot of them are off. good night, will read the comments tomorrow. thanks
Cool. Let's do this.
Took me a little more than 1 hour. Stopped when I began to feel the itch to zoom in.
I see now that many of the big shapes are out of place or distorted, another hour or so and I could have fixed them, but I guess that's enough for a quick study.
Made the head too big and it's not far enough right. First pass, then second before ref. More concerned in getting the feel and the dominate figure. Could spend hours on this.
Currently doing the Start Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
couple hours i think
just picked up art again after a couple years... still pretty new to everything.
left guy's head is too big, red guy's right arm too big, bunch of other problems

Joining the fun. A few hours now.
Hi my name is Tony, I have many goals with my Artwork, my biggest goal is to become a comic book artist(Not for a big company or anything id just like to make a comic that I would enjoy) but when it comes to drawing, painting,etc I want to be able to do anything.Im not 100% sure why or how master studies will jump my skills to the next level but hey its worth a shot.
I think I'm sending the post properly, hope I didn't forget anything from the briefing. If I did just let me know.
It has been something less than 3 hours with two breaks (15min first and 5 min second, aprox). I did most of it zoomed out so I didn't saw a lot of stuff until the very end when I went to work the faces and finish.
Seems to me there is something weird with the perspective, like all is a bit falling to the right.

Ehm yea, 1h30~. I'll try drop by and do these now and then as I rarely take the time to do studies.
First one :) paint it today

2 and half hours
Throwing my hat in this ring
Sup everyone. Here's my attempt. Gonna be delayed because I started late, and can't do them daily. I can do 5/week in colors, and might dedicate my traditional painting time to doing some in b&w.
Didn't do the dog, kinda forgot, my reds are are mostly undersaturated, I didn't manage to capture all the busyness in the guy on the left, missed the expression of the red figure, skin tones are more vibrant and feel yellow in the original.
First time with color in a very long time
Hey you guys...finally replaced my broken stylus pen, so figured would try to catch up by doing a couple of these day...
This is a very tough exercise :S loved every minute of it...
EDIT: Oops Forgot to mention 1 H 30 Mins :)

First master study done in 1 hour
I notice how I involuntary work on details and ignore how it scales against the entire composition. I need to stop myself from doing this next time!
I think I did it again, the making things too big....thing. At least this one seemed to progress faster than the last(2hrs).
Are we supposed to do these without any sort of guides? or should we have been doing it all along. I'm thinking of putting some marks down to try and get more accurate shapes, but wasn't sure if we were just supposed to look at the master work (sorry that probably sounds dumb :p). Gonna try some more tomorrow because during this one I got completely lost looking at the crown and whatever that thing is hanging off of it and I need to sleep.
I have a question, can I use the rectangular marquee tool to do measurements?
For example, I see the figure is that big in the reference, i move it to my part of the canvas and mark it that big.

The unexpected death of 18–year–old Eddie Key hit family and friends like a wall.
"It just doesn't seem real at all," friend Alex Caruso said.
Key was a freshman football player at Wayne State College. Wayne police say he was found dead Saturday night in his campus dorm room.
An autopsy showed that neither drugs nor alcohol were factors in his death, and police don't suspect foul play. They believe he died in his sleep.
"I can't even sleep just knowing I'll never see him again," friend Lueth Lueth said.
Key graduated from North Star High School last year.
His brother, Jerry Key, and uncle, Eli Brown, spoke with us Monday night.
"His heart was huge," his brother said. "No matter if he knew you for a couple minutes or his whole life, he was going to treat you the same."
His uncle said he was the type of person that could light up any room.
"Family oriented, faithful, just a great kid," Brown said. "That's all I keep saying, a great kid."
Monday night, hundreds showed up at the North 27th Street Applebee's to lend their support. A group of volunteers organized a T-Shirt drive to raise money for Key's end-of-life expenses.
A pre-order of 240 shirts quickly ran out.
"Just seeing the amount of people he reached out to and the amount of support that he has is amazing," his brother said. "It just shows the type of character he had."
Several of his friends remember him as the kid everyone got along with.
"He's just a lovable guy, everyone like gravitated toward him, he could light up a room," Caruso said.
Key was also known for his success on the football field.
John Baade would know, he played on the line with him for three years at North Star.
"Eddie knew he could make it, you know Ndamukong Suh, he wanted everyone saying 'Key' every time he'd be playing," Baade said. "Eddie had big dreams."
A two-year starter, Key was named Second Team Super State twice, and his name is on more than one record board in the high school's athletic hall, including track and field as a discus and shot put thrower.
"He's a very talented young man, very powerful, very strong," North Star head football coach Mark Waller said.
Waller says Key was a presence on and off the field.
"Even though he lived a short life, during the time that he was with us he really impacted and made a difference in a lot of people," Waller said.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Organizers of the St. James Court Art Show closed the event at 5 p.m. Saturday and will not open Sunday because of weather concerns.
The decision was made after a meeting with city and emergency officials. Heavy rain and the possibility of storms are expected through Sunday.
Vendors were packing up quickly on Saturday when the rain took a break for a few hours.
"So much of the work is paintings and that sort of thing they don't hold up well with the wet weather," said organizer Joann Marquart.
For jewelry artist E. Douglas Wunder, he was disappointed that event was cut short but understood why.
"I made very few dollars which is sort of a drag, tomorrow no hope, yesterday was mediocre," said Wunder. "I handed out a lot of cards. I think everyone will be back next year. Maybe I'll be back next year. It will all be good."
This was the 57th year for the event. For a list of the vendors who attended the St. James Court Art Show click here: http://www.stjamescourtartshow.com/

Check in went smooth and we were in our suite in 30 minutes from arriving, we had a Q5 midships and the suite size was fantastic, huge amount of storage, plenty of hangers, the furnishing were very good.
The fridge was stocked with what we required, these were replenished as used, a fruit basket with a great selection always kept freshly replaced. The cabin staff were exceptional in looking after us.
We dined in the Queens Grill restaurant and the food and service were flawless, we were able to order items that were not even on the menu and if we were wanting something more complicated you just needed to give them a days notice, nothing was too much trouble.
The wine list was good but not overly extensive with a good range of pricing to suit most meals. The sommelier was very knowledgeable, quickly understood our likes and never tried to push us to purchase.
The ship herself looked and felt very good, only minor areas of wear, it was spotlessly clean and well maintained.
The shops were a little disappointing, the Cunard outlet was sold out of most clothing items in the regular size range, full of lots of what i would call "junk" items and very little in middle to high quality memorabilia, there was nothing for sale that was related to the Circumnavigation of Australia, this was very disappointing given the hype from Cunard re this voyage.
This is the third time we have been on QM2, the previous times have been in the Princess Grill in a P1 suite, this ship has again exceeded our expectations.
One of the main attractions is the fact most people on board enjoy dressing for dinner as per the theme for each night, the formal and semi formal nights are when this ship shines inside and out.
The entertainment was good overall, the main dance/singing shows were spectacular, the costumes were equal to any show I have seen, some of the pianists playing in the bar areas should not have been singing.
Prices for all types of drinks was very reasonable, we ate at Todd English one night the food was good but certainly no better than what was in the Grills Restaurant, we were not inclined to go back.
I would still highly recommend this ship if you are after a relaxed, refined experience, you will want for nothing and they do seem to deliver the "White Star Service" that sets this ship apart from the others.

of the road. A local family found it and some other precious items. Now,
they're asking Fox 2 to help them locate the rightful owner.
Click on the video player to watch Randy Wimbley's report.
They were found in the trash but make no mistake, they were someone's treasures. Larry Wallace went dumpster diving at a home on Woodward Heights in Hazel Park. Oakland County Sheriff's deputies had just finished clearing out the house.
Larry found a wedding album from 1939. Robert Currie and Lois Wright bound in holy matrimony. He also found other pictures, jewelry and a Vietnam War ring. And there's a diary detailing life on the front lines in Vietnam. One entry from January, 1969 reads: "While sweeping track 14, Bravo company hit a mine. Driver was using extended laterals and was on top of the track. The blast tore his legs all up. It looks like he might lost them."
Now, the Wallaces want to get the property back to its rightful owners or their family members. If you know who it belongs to, call our news hotline: (248) 395-FOX2.

---- — Alex Doyle and Bill Caperci were Eagle Scouts — and it shows.
Their shared commitment to personal community service, says Doyle, is what's enabled the two men — founding partners in Railroad Avenue's Conley's Drugstore — to grow an impressively large, loyal, local customer base in just two short years, and — as of New Year's Day 2013 — double their retail space.
The Eagle Scout ethic, adds Doyle, drives Conley's to take on missions impossible for local mega chains to match in order to meet all manner of specific customer needs.
Case in point? This past New Year's, Doyle — who regularly hand delivers medications to elderly customers' homes — made an emergency run to Ipswich to source ingredients for a pediatric anti-viral medication that was unavailable locally due to the recent alarming spike in flu cases.
Conley's specializes in customizing compounds, so Doyle was able to take those ingredients and, wielding a good old fashioned mortar & pestle, replicate a prescription specific formula of that pediatric anti-viral, to personally meet a sick child's urgent need for medication on a national holiday.
When Conley's first opened its Railroad Avenue Shop in August 2010, it was new to Gloucester, but it wasn't new to Cape Ann. In Ipswich, Conley's had been an established presence and trusted brand since the 1880s, when it was founded by the Branyard family.
In 1996, it was bought by Alex Doyle's parents, pharmacists Richard and Marlene Doyle. And in 2010, following the closure of Gloucester's own long-established and much beloved Connor's— Alex Doyle saw the opportunity to fill the void left by Connor's, and, together with Caperci, who'd worked as a pharmacist at Gloucester's Eaton Pharmacy, signed a lease on 2,000 square feet of retail space next to Shaw's on Railroad Avenue.
For 20 months, the two partners worked without pay, all the while holding second jobs.
"It was tough," says Doyle, "but it was all worth it."
Against what some might call the formidable competition of Main Street's CVS and Walgreen's, Conley's not only succeeded but exceeded early expectations — to a point where, says Doyle, expansion soon became a necessity. With 2,000 square feet of vacant space sitting handily next door, leases were signed, walls came down, shelves went up, and Conley's doubled its retail presence to some 4,000 square feet.
"We broke ground on the expansion in October 2012," recalls Doyle, "and using all local contractors and suppliers, were up and running in time for the new year."
"Local" is a key word in Doyle's vocabulary.
"We have no desire to follow or compete with the national franchise model," says the UMass trained pharmacist, "Our model is the 'TRIAD' of patient, prescriber, pharmacist."
The TRIAD model, he says, is what accounts for why consumer research reveals local, independent pharmacists to be the most trusted members of the health care profession.
Although its newly doubled space vastly expands Conley's inventory of over-the-counter medications and non-medical merchandise, its core identity remains its five licensed staff pharmacists, all of whom were also trained in compounding in Houston's Professional Compounding Centers of America.
Some 5 percent of Conley's prescription business is in custom compounding —an invaluable niche category that recently became a sudden cause for local customer concern and confusion when a tragic trail of national meningitis deaths led back to Massachusetts, where a compounding facility —the New England Compounding Center in Framingham — was identified as the source of a contaminated injectable steroid used to relieve chronic spinal pain.
"The confusion and concern is understandable," says Doyle, but basically "there's no comparison between what we do here and the kind of high-volume 'manufacturing' of compounded product" distributed over state lines by that now notorious laboratory (17,676 vials of the spinal steroid had been shipped to 75 clinics in 23 states, according to Massachusetts and federal health officials).
Conley's compounding is, in fact, regulated under an entirely different chapter of U.S. Pharmacopia (USP 795) and is fulfilled by individual prescription, a good example of which is the emergency pediatric antiviral replicated by Doyle this past New Years Day.
Custom compounding can also, explains Doyle, be an invaluable tool in wound, infection and ulcerative skin care, enabling pharmacists to, for instance, blend transdermal topical treatments that can increase blood flow to help regrow tissue in affected areas, to speed the regrowth of healthy tissue and prevent limb amputation.
A big slice of Conley's compounding customer base is four-footed, primarily dogs, cats, horses. Animal dosage requirements vary more greatly than humans, and veterinarians rely on customized compounding.
Although Doyle is proud of Conley's compounding capabilities, there is, he says, "so much more to what we offer."
Free RX delivery for one. And, in the works now for kids, free multivitamins — an ongoing program open to all, that will be launched shortly with raffles and prizes. Conley's also offers a free, private consultation room. And a large slice of Conley's pie is in medical, surgical and Eldercare equipment.
Almost 30 percent of Gloucester's population is over 65, according to the latest U.S. Census figures, and Doyle, who frequently makes himself available for free consultation to seniors at the Rose Baker Senior Center, also works closely with care givers and geriatric healthcare professionals, to source specific equipment and needs for next day delivery.
"What we do," says Doyle, "can be as simple as custom blending multiple lotions for an elderly patient's complex skin care needs, or flavoring prescription pediatric cough syrup to make it more palatable for a sick kid."

The ice has melted, the snow is gone, and things are starting to get back to normal in parts of Washington County where some residents were nearly two weeks without power. Utility workers are nearing the end of the job of getting the lights back on, and local residents have workers from various parts of the nation to thank.
Lee Hobson and a group of workers from Pontotoc Electric Power Association from Pontotoc, Miss., were among those who came to help restore power to Washington County.
For months you've been warned to make the switch to digital television, and although you have your converter box in hand, you still have no idea what to do. Fear no more as the Student Technology Learning Program at Washington County High School is offering free assistance to those who need to prepare for the switch to digital television.
Snow in June? Incredibly enough, that's what several viewers could find on their televisions if they have not completed the switch to digital by the June 12 federal cutoff. Digital TV is almost here, and like it or not, there are some things you must do before you can continue to receive free signals through the air.
He's been sitting on the bench for a while, but now, Doughlas "Dodie" George will be taking a break. Sort of.
George an-nounced recently that he has resigned from his position as 11th Circuit Judge and entered the senior status program for Kentucky judges. George took the step prior to the state's Jan. 31 deadline, and will now fill in where needed in appointments as a special judge.
So what was his first assignment?
Washington County is still debating the bulky item cleanup program in the county. The effort to clean up after the ice storm may cause a delay in the program, but fiscal court members received nothing but positive feedback from residents in favor of the program. Since state storm cleanup will take 60 days, the county is considering putting off the bulky item cleanup until the storm cleanup is complete, possibly some time in April.
Hang in there, Washington County because help cleaning up after the ice storm is on the way. That was the word from the Washington County Fiscal Court at its meeting on Monday morning.
"We'll just have to wait and tough it out."
Offus Lewis of Mackville had that outlook on things Thursday afternoon as he and his family settled into the emergency shelter at the Opera House in Springfield. Lewis, with his wife Sheila and their two children, had been without power since Tuesday, as had much of the county. He said they tried to wait things out, but finally, decided to seek shelter.
On Monday morning, a tire tool was still lying in the middle of the floor at the Southern States store on Bardstown Road in Springfield. The tool served as a reminder of the burglary that took place there over the weekend, according to store manager Tony Hamilton.
"They busted the front door out with a tire tool," he said of the weekend's burglary, which saw the store lose about $4,000 worth of inventory, most of which was in the form of propane heaters.

Logansport city officials are looking for a private entity to invest at least $500 million into turning the existing coal-fired power plant into a plant that burns pellets of residential refuse, saying the project would add jobs, use renewable energy and assure long-term energy independence for Logansport.
Utility Service Board members voted Tuesday night to publish a request for proposals to repower and expand Logansport Municipal Utilities power generation by converting the coal-fired generators into a refuse-derived-fuel power plant.
The plant would burn solid waste pellets and would achieve total system capacity of 300 megawatts, far more power than the 38 megawatts the plant currently generates.
Mayor Ted Franklin described the project as the best approach to maintain local independence for electricity generation and distribution, saying the conversion would allow the city to generate electricity at a cost of 4.5 to 5.5 cents per kilowatt-hour.
The proposed public-private partnership project is estimated to cost up to $590 million. The public-private financing option would have private sector firms pay all development and construction costs. LMU would operate and purchase the facilities without bonds being issued.
Presenters before the board Tuesday evening described the power plant's future as bleak, if nothing is changed.
LMU has lost nearly $4 million in the past three years, board members noted. None of the four alternative plans laid out this summer — including repowering existing generators, repowering natural boilers and converting boilers to natural gas — would allow the utility to get back in the black without base electric rates rising at least 95 percent, according to John Skomp of Crowe Horwath LLP, which prepared an analysis of the four alternatives.
"None of those are a silver bullet to solve your problems," Skomp said.
A study team headed by consulting firm William-Lynn-James, and including seven experts in the energy field, outlined the proposal to convert the power plant to burn trash pellets.
Bernie Paul, president of B Paul Consulting LLC, said several of the 50 companies interested in the city's proposed renewable fuel project are well-known names in power.
"I don't know where the money will come from, but there is a lot of interest where companies don't seem to be scared of the cost," Paul said. "I wouldn't be surprised to see interesting partnerships formed."
The LMU plant currently has 30 workers and the new plant would add an additional 30 jobs, according to Paul Hartman, LMU superintendent.
Franklin added that in the "big picture," he expects that the project, if carried out, would add 160 jobs.
No location has been selected yet, said project manager Alvaro Almuina, director of EllSo Consulting Inc., but the site would have to span at least 100 acres and be accessible by interstate highway.
Almuina said there would be 10 pellet machines total. The pellets would come out in increments of three inches by one inch.
"Indiana doesn't have a lot of renewable options," Almuina said. "This could put Logansport on the map."
Franklin said the project would also lower the city's trash disposal costs. About $900,000 is spent every year getting rid of trash, he said.
The Logansport Municipal Utilities repower and expansion study team will host a public information session at 7 p.m. today to discuss the possible construction of a power plant fired by refuse-derived fuel.
"The meeting Wednesday evening is the first opportunity for the public to hear one-on-one about the project," Franklin said. "We did a lot of work behind the scenes. Now we want to do work out in the public."
If implemented, the first phase of repowering the existing plant would be completed no later than 2016. Construction of the new power plant would likely be completed in 2016-2017.
LMU will accept proposals until Jan. 11.
Amie Sites is a staff reporter for the Pharos-Tribune. She can be reached at 574-732-5150 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Who: Logansport Municipal Utilities repower and expansion study team
What: Public information session
Where: City council chambers, City Building, 601 E. Broadway
When: 7 to 9 p.m. today
Why: To review information and answer questions about the city's proposal to form a public-private partnership to convert the coal-fired power plant to a plant run on refuse-derived fuel.

Fact: Kyle Lohse led the Cardinals this season with 14 wins.
Fact: Kyle Lohse finished the season brilliantly, going 3-0 with a 1.72 ERA in his last five starts, zero home runs allowed.
Theory: Kyle Lohse is better than you think.
You might still be stuck with the pre-Cardinals Kyle Lohse, who posted a 4.82 ERA while pitching for the Twins, Red and Phillies. You might be stuck with the 2009-2010 Kyle Lohse, who did pitch for the Cardinals but wasn't really healthy in either season, and got hammered.
The 2008 and '11 version, though? He's good. Keeps the ball down, strikeout-to-walk ratio around 2.5, which is plenty good when you keep the ball down.
And Kyle Lohse was plenty good in the first inning of Game 4 tonight. He retired Nyjer Morgan on a grounder, struck out surprise right fielder Mark Kotsay with a perfect fastball and, after Ryan Braun singled, struck out Prince Fielder, too.
The last time Lohse pitched, he had one bad inning. But one bad inning don't spoil the whole bunch.
Heading to the bottom of the first, Game 4 is scoreless.

IDS: 'This is about fairness in the system'
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has said that housing benefit changes that have been introduced today are about "fairness".
In response to criticisms of the so-called 'bedroom tax', he said: "The reality is this is about getting our housing benefit back into order".
"This is about fairness. It's about fairness to those who pay vast sums of money in taxation to see that people living in subsidised accommodation who often don't use the bedrooms they've got, while others in overcrowded accommodation.... they can't get the accommodation they need.
"This is a nonsense problem that was created by the last government who didn't build enough housing and didn't manage the housing stock properly".

Disgraced ex-Braintree postie set to face jail term
Updated 1:51pm Wednesday 7th May 2014 in News
A disgraced former Braintree postman who stole more than 40,000 mail items has been warned he faces a prison sentence.
Graham King, 47, has admitted stealing more than 40,000 Royal Mail letters and packets from his round in Braintree over a seven year period.
On Tuesday, Chelmsford Crown Court heard how King, who became a postman in December 2002, admitted stealing 35,538 unaddressed door to door items in Braintree between April 23 2011 and September 17 last year.
He further admitted stealing 6,539 postal packets between November 1 2006 and November 8 2013, as well as stealing a postal packet containing gift cards and vouchers worth £40 on or about December 19 2012 and a postal packet on November 8 2013.
Judge Charles Gratwicke told him: "A prison sentence is almost inevitable."
King, formerly of Easterford Road, Kelvedon, now of St Peters Street, Lowestoft, has been released on bail after his case was adjourned for reports and sentencing.

when is fucking 2 a.m and you're not even halfway through with your essay that was due last week.
when your mom is yelling at you because your grades are shit
when your dad comes home late smelling like booze
when your dog just died and youre the only one who took care of him
when your brothers girlfriend is cheating on him and if you tell him he'll hate you
when you lost your best friend to someone you hate
when you think— no you wish that today was your last day,
just fucking love yourself because when every body is too busy trying to fuck up your life you're the only person that can save you,
your life isnt some fucking john green novel, no one can save you but yourself. Anonymous (via durational)

Well, I've read through all of the other reviews, and I'm not sure that any of them except for the first even come close to doing this set, no pun intended, justice. First, I'll start off on the Seattle show, since it's the earliest dated. Great quality, excellent stage setup, and they make it fun by slightly altering the lyrics in some songs to make jokes, as in "Seek and Destroy". I personally liked this show a lot better than the others because it was released before the black album and has more of the classic stuff that they never play in full anymore (like Blackened and …And Justice For All to name a few). Next, the San Diego show. Yes, James playing the drums was interesting, and to tell the truth, he isn't that bad at them. My guess is Lars gave him lessons sometime. Kirk Hammet gives some top-notch guitar solos, including one where he plays it with his butt. You read right, he takes the guitar, puts it behind him, and rubs the strings against his butt. The scary thing is, he actually makes it sound good, like he actually practiced doing that ahead of time. Lastly, the Mexico City show. 3 cds, the longest show in the set, but definitely worth listening to. My only complaint with the collection is how in the San Diego and Mexico city shows, how they cut "Master of Puppets" short, stopping before the guitar solo interlude. Aside from that, a complete masterpiece, showcasing how powerful of a live band Metallica really is. It also contains many of their forgotten classics that they don't play live anymore, such as Fade to Black, Last Caress, Blackened, and Whiplash. If you're a fan of the old Metallica, and for some reason don't already own this set, I highly urge you to buy it, although I recommend the dvd version only due to the fact that it's cheaper. And some of the complaints (pages falling out of the book) have been fixed; the entire book is under the special features in dvd disc 2. Either way, it's worth every last penny that you're spending.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
If you buy only 1 thing from Metallica- make it this 3 cd, 3 video set!!! 'Nuff said
There is SO MUCH included on the DVDs and CDs that I've had the set for a couple days and still haven't gotten through it all!!
One more DVD to watch! The (all LIVE) music includes songs from KILL 'EM ALL through METALLICA, and it rocks thunderously hard!!!
The DVD quality is excellent. The CDs sound great! A MUST for all Metallica fans!
I'd missed out on the chance to see Metallica live during this tour in support of the band's eponymous 'Black Album', so Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge is probably the closest I'll come.This former boxed set is now available in two formats — a double-CD case and a DVD-style longbox. As far as I can tell from their descriptions, the contents are the same, and typical of Metallica, they give you loads of material for a pretty good price — three live CDs and two concert DVDs for only a little more than the price of two DVD movies.The good points:- The three live CDs span a broad range of songs from the band's history, rather than obsessively focusing on the Black Album.- The sound quality of the CDs is quite good.- The performances, especially James Hetfield's vocals and rhythm guitar, are searing.- The DVD concerts are pretty well shot, if a little bit rough on the editing front. I'd always had reservations about getting this set because I was worried the concert footage would wear thin very quickly, but the band's fiery performances, the inventive staging (such as when Lars Ulrich runs across the stage in the middle of "The Four Horsemen" and jumps onto another kit at the other end) and multiple cameras helped make the viewing experience engaging.The bad points:- No booklet. I think they should have made the package a little bigger, a small boxed set, and included the booklet.- The sound on the DVDs is horrible. I've never heard a professional music-DVD release with so many volume fluctuations and bad sound cuts. It's like listening to a live CD with the engineer whipping the faders up and down for no reason. The vocals are muddy, the lead guitar mixed too far back, and all of the tracks on the DVD sound like they have foam in front of the speakers.- The format I'd bought, the double-CD case, is just not enough to hold five discs. They should have designed a special Digipak, or used three double-CD jewel cases.- The live CD contains far, far too much crowd noise, banter and moments of waiting for the music. In a concert setting this might be okay, but as a listening experience, it's dreary to listen to a solid minute and a half of war sound effects before "One" can begin. They should have been more diligent with editing.- No bonus materials. The videos from the Black Album, and especially the legendary music video for "One", would have made very enticing bonus materials for this set.Despite its shortcomings, this was the last major official release from Metallica before it entered its bitterly contested 'Load/Reload' phase, so as a document of the band's history, this set is invaluable.
Simply put, this is the best box set I've ever owned. Granted, I'm a huge Metallica fan and I'm probably inclined to fall in love with anything they release. But Metallica rips it live, and this box set showcases over eight hours of that. On both the CDs and DVDs (a Mexico City show on the CDs, and full Seattle and San Diego shows on the DVDs), you hear a completely different side of the band. While their studio recordings are tight and emotional, their live set conveys the sense that Metallica have fun when they play live. There is a certain leaning toward improvisation that makes listening to these tracks a blast.The sound quality isn't as good as on S&M, probably because these shows were recorded in the early nineties, and the high-budget production of that era falls short of what you can expect of live recordings from the past few years. But it's still great to listen to a different interpretation of their songs. When they play live, their tunes sound different than their studio counterparts, but this is actually a positive thing; there are certain moments when they let things hang, and then pummel the tension whenever they feel like it, which gives the sets kind of a jammy feel. Hetfield's comments to the crowd are left in, which was the only dissapointing thing about S&M; it's great to hear James interact with the crowd. As he pumps them up, you feel energized as well.The show from the Black Album tour is impressive, but the direction is somewhat choppy. The …And Justice For All show is directed brilliantly, and their set comes across as very epic and powerful.Like I said, best box set I've ever owned. And it's loads cheaper than the VHS version, so I'd recommend this to any hardcore Metallica fan, or anyone who loves hearing quality live albums.

On Tuesday, Aug. 6, communities all over Minnesota celebrated National Night Out -- a night to meet your neighbors, strengthen community ties and meet police and other local officials.
Minneapolis celebrated at Nine Flags riverfront park from 5 to 9 p.m. The city ranked first in the country for its participation for the last two years in a row.
Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau expected around 3,000 people to attend. The event featured live local music, K-9 and SWAT demonstrations and chances to connect with public safety officials.
The Shepard Park Rental Neighborhood in St. Paul hosted one of the largest celebrations in the state between 4 to 7 p.m.
"I wish every night was National Night Out," said Armando Camacho, president of Neighborhood House.
Last year, 1,500 people came to the block party at Gilbert De La O Fields to enjoy grilling and conversation with neighbors while getting to know police.
"I think there's no question that when neighbors know each other and they've broken bread together -- or had a glass of Kool-Aid or a beer, in some neighborhoods -- that all of a sudden, you talk to each other and look out for each other," St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman said.
The west side of St. Paul, known as the Ellis Island of the city, is especially embraced by Coleman and St. Paul Police Chief Thomas Smith because both of them live there.
"Some people wanted to talk to me about some different concerns they have regarding domestic violence," Smith told FOX 9. "I have all those resources. I can hand out my business cards and put people in the right direction."
In east St. Paul, a group of about 500 gathered at the Boys and Girls Club to get to know police.
"It's a good thing. It's comforting," said LaToya Shavers. "It's nice to get to know them so they can recognize my face, the kids' faces, in case anything happens."
For moms like Shavers, the event serves double duty because her children get to meet and play with their peers while she gets to know police.
Events in St. Paul included a 50-animal petting zoo, photo booth, food, music, bingo, henna tattoos, caricature artists, a classic car show and demonstrations by public safety units.
Communities all over the state celebrated National Night out by offering free gun locks at the following venues:

Dad vs. Mom: Who's the Real Parent?
October 8, 2009 at 10:16 am , by Louise Sloan
"Dads are parents, too," insists my new pal Steve Truitt. Steve (that's him at the right) is a self-help author (Stop Waiting For Permission!), life coach and TV host who became the main caregiver for his two daughters, ages 1 and 4, after he lost a major daily radio gig. I got in touch with him after reading his recent post—on Maria Shriver's Women's Conference website—about how women can support their husband's efforts to be hands-on dads.
I didn't need to ask Steve why he felt the need to defend the idea of dads being "real" parents. I was pretty sure I knew why. As a new mom, I was amazed and horrified at the extent to which parenting, especially parenting small children, is all about moms. It's like dads don't exist—and even more than that, that they simply aren't welcome to become part of hands-on parenting. It's "Mommy and Me" this, "Mommy-Baby" that, new mom groups and mommy websites. At the time my son came along—three years ago—even Parenting magazine corrected their own gender-neutral name with the tagline, "what matters to moms."
It made me angry. I became a single mom by choice, it's true, but that choice didn't have anything to do with my feelings about fatherhood. For the record, I'm for it. I think it's extremely important for kids that their dads are hands-on parents too, and I hope my son will be a great dad someday. But the pressure for men not to be too nurturing starts early. My son's a very masculine, rough-and-tumble boy, but he also loves his little-boy doll. My mom, looking a bit horrified, asked me why I'd bought it for him. "So he can learn to be a good daddy," I answered. Duh.
To me, there's an obvious connection. I had a friend growing up, Ginny, who literally didn't know how to cook or clean—didn't have a clue—because her mom never showed her how or included her in the housework, and in fact discouraged her from becoming involved. Same kind of thing. Somehow Ginny's estrogen levels didn't entirely compensate for her lack of home training.
What I saw very clearly as a new mom was that men get (often justly) criticized for not being more hands-on as parents, while at the same time there are constant cultural messages that childrearing is women's work, and that men should butt out. It kind of seems like the guys can't win for losing.
"It's fascinating, the world you enter as a parent," Steve agrees. "It's so momcentric." And as a life coach, he had found that many of his clients who were fathers were grappling with the feeling of being left out of the parenting process from Day One.
Then Steve lost a major part of his income due to the recession and found himself home, taking care of the kids. It was a harsh transition, and one that many men are dealing with right now, he says—he sees plenty of guys like himself in his life-coaching practice. They are good guys, and they love their children, Steve says, but as traditional men, they—like he—had placed their identity in their jobs and in their ability to be providers. This hands-on parenting while the wife brings home most of the bacon can be incredibly hard on their self-esteem, and that's not something they generally feel safe talking about with anyone.
These men are struggling, Steve says, but here's his exciting theory: Steve thinks that this recession has created a de facto men's movement that may finally change parenting roles the way the feminist movement hasn't quite been able to do.
"It's a reluctant movement, forced by the economy," he concedes, "but I think something really good is going to come out of it. Men who have lost their jobs are not just trying to help raise their children—they're learning to enjoy it." Steve sees this as potentially having the kind of profound effect on men's roles that World War II and Rosie the Riveter had on women's.
To me, other than the economic loss that's causing it, this situation is win-win. Men get to experience the joy of hands-on parenting, and kids get to have the pleasure of a really involved dad.
In any case, for Steve it's been a growth experience. "First of all, it's given me a tremendous amount of respect for women," he says. "It has also taught me great patience. I've complained a lot less, and reached out a lot more."
So, what do you think? Are men are parents, too? Are we women ready to share our role as M.I.P. (Most Important Parent)? Or is men's lack of involvement something we bitch about, but don't really want to change?

The buffet area is spacious with many choices divided up in stations. The pizza was delicious. The Deli has an excellent pastrami and corned beef sandwich! We never made it to the Pasta station because we were always too full to eat pasta but it sure looked good! We had early seating dinner in the upstairs section of the Scarlet Dining Room. Our waiters were awesome, Nino, Hernando and Erik. They asked us our names on the first evening and then referred to us by first name throughout the cruise no matter where we saw them! Very impressive to me! One of our travel mates had to eat gluten free and this was handled very easily throughout the ship. She placed her dinner order the night before and everything was prepared for her gluten free! This was also available in the Pasta Bar, the Deli and the Pizza Bar but we did not take advantage of that this trip.
The shows were very good. The dancers are fantastic! The 2 featured singers are good but the sound is so loud it was more like screeching than singing by the 4th night. Jamie, the Cruise Director is AWESOME! We've been on 12 cruises on 5 different cruise lines and she was by far the very best cruise director we've ever seen. Her energy and enthusiasm are overwhelming!
We have preferred Princess and Royal Caribbean in the past but this experience with Carnival will definitely bring us back.

Sep 022014...FedEx was among the first to hire female pilots and now compares favorably in the number of women pilots we have. We also work hard to make sure women are well represented throughout all our air operations, including maintenance, engineering, and safety.
FedEx was built on the dreams of many people and will continue to thrive on such dreams. If you're interested in pursuing aviation as a career, I encourage you to apply all the passion, determination, and hard work needed to reach your goals, just like these team members. To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."...
Aug 272014One night a few months ago, Juan Fonseco, a security guard on duty at the FedEx airport facility in San Diego, noticed a large bird huddled against a fence. He kept an eye on it, but it didn't fly away. As dawn approached, he decided to take a closer look, and could see that the unusual-looking bird appeared to be injured. Very carefully, Juan wrapped the bird in his jacket (first photo) and with the Harbor Police, made arrangements to get it to safety. His visitor turned out to be a peregrine falcon, which was on the Endangered Species list for decades and is now…
Aug 222014Ted Carlson has pursued his passion for driving since the day he drove his first car, which didn't even have a gas cap!
The current road driver for FedEx Freight has, over the years, tried his hand at driving just about anything he could get his hands on. From an M1 Tank on patrol in Iraq, loading dock cranes, an array of armored Humvees…he even once tried to drive an Iraqi steamroller to help with road construction! Rewind even a few years further back, and there's Ted, in the midst of hurricane Katrina relief: It seems that there was a gigantic airport fire truck that nobody knew how to move, so of course, Ted jumps in and figures it out.
But with Ted, it's not just variety that motivates him; it's consistency...
Aug 172014If you're taking a road trip, you want Christy Tolbert on your team. She is one our many outstanding, expert drivers at FedEx Express, with six years of accident-free professional driving under her belt. Her driving abilities recently earned her Rookie of the Year and Grand Champion honors at an internal competition, and earning a spot in the finals at the National Truck Driving Championships.
Christy's skills also mean that she is a fantastic navigator, often using her skills of setting landmarks and reference points to help guide her family on camping and fishing trips to parks and recreational areas in Oklahoma...
Aug 122014Have you ever heard of "mode shift" in the shipping context?
It refers to the change in the type of transportation used to move your shipments around. Mode shift is a trend that is often on the agenda at transportation conferences as many shippers choose ocean freight forwarding rather than air cargo freight for intercontinental transportation. The decrease in international air freight market share has been illustrated by FedEx Chairman Fred Smith at various events (see attached picture). While selecting ocean transportation might make sense for the majority of goods for economic reasons, one could wonder whether shipping more high value healthcare products by sea is similarly justified.
Consultant data suggests...
Aug 082014Jack Muhs, the new president and CEO of FedEx Trade Networks, has been on the job since February 2014. A veteran of FedEx Express operations for 27 years, Muhs brings a wealth of international experience to an operating company on the fast track. We caught up with him in his Memphis office to get his thoughts on his new responsibilities.
Aug 072014A quarter-century ago today, Flying Tigers joined forces with Federal Express to become the world's largest full-service, all cargo airline. Included in the acquisition were routes to 21 countries, a fleet of Boeing 747 and 727 aircraft, facilities throughout the world and Tiger's expertise in international airfreight.
On August 7th, 1989 Bill Logue became a FedEx operations manager at the Boston ramp. Today, he serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of FedEx Freight. Like many who worked on "T-Day", he remembers that first day well:

Organizations constantly seek to increase quality, productivity and efficiency. When deployed effectively, technology helps us eliminate wasted time and materials, increases efficiency, and improves service.
While incorporating technology into our operations is one of our biggest opportunities as leaders, it also presents one of our biggest challenges. Having the latest technological programs and gadgets at our disposal doesn't do much for our operations if we're not adequately prepared to make use of them. If our processes are outdated and full of inefficiency, redundancy and sometimes even counterproductive activity, technology may illuminate the situation but it certainly cannot resolve it.

That's why, in June 2014, we teamed up with Healthways, a leader in well-being improvement, to offer personalized tools and resources at no cost to our employees. The Healthways Well-Being Program includes the Healthways' Well-Being Assessment (WBA), an online Well-Being Connect™ account with access to a personalized Well-Being Plan with tips and goal tracking tools and other resources such as recipes, meal plans, and articles.
Jul 252014INROADS is a non-profit organization designed to provide paid internships for excelling, diverse undergraduate students. The program is structured so that the selected students intern each summer during their undergraduate career at the same corporation to acquire the skills and support that they need to be successful in management after graduation. The students work closely with an advisor from INROADS and a corporate mentor at the company for which they are interning to learn and grow. After graduation, INROADS students are fully prepared to enter the workforce, and many of the students continue to work for the company they interned for during their INROADS program. And this is where FedEx becomes involved.

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle DeMarcus Love has been suspended without pay for four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing drugs.
The league announced the punishment Thursday. Love will remain eligible to practice this month and play in exhibition games, but once the regular season starts he must be away from his team through Sept. 29, when the Vikings play Pittsburgh in London. Love might not make the team, though. He has never played in a regular season NFL game.
Love was inactive for all 16 games of his rookie season after being drafted in the sixth round out of Arkansas. Last year, he was on injured reserve with a damaged pectoral muscle.
