George Zimmerman will continue to stay in Seminole County, after a judge denied an order which would have allowed him to take off his GPS monitor and travel to different counties within the state. His attorney, Mark O'Mara, says his client continues to get death threats and that it's a security issue.
"There are threats out there, and if you want, we can present them," O'Mara told the judge. State prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda questions whether George Zimmerman is concerned about his safety, saying, "This defendant appeared on national TV. He put his profile right up there for everyone in the world to see him, and now, he's arguing that it's not safe. This defendant came in through the front door. But there's so many threats he's scared."
He says Zimmerman should not be approaching the public if he's worried about his life. "You can't have it where you want the publicity, where you keep bringing up the publicity. You keep bringing up the case, as the defense does and then argue that it's unsafe for him there. Who's generating all this publicity? Why are we here for this motion, is it more for publicity? Maybe now the defendant wants to get more autographs. Maybe he wants to travel to west Florida so he's got people who will pay him more money to get his autograph. Is that what this is about? I would argue that an objective person would come to that conclusion." Last month, Zimmerman offered to write "thank you" notes to anyone who made a donation. According to O'Mara, it's to help raise money for legal fees.
"We have decided it is truly time to up our fundraising request, because the defense fund is at its lowest, doesn't have any money and we have an enormous amount of expenses," O'Mara added.
He doesn't think his client's signature will be sold on Ebay. "The idea that he's signing the card and it's going to be sold, I don't think that George's signature is some commodity that's going to gain money. People are going to give money to George because they think he deserves it." O'Mara says he created a social media campaign, because he says Zimmerman was being portrayed as a racist. "They turned George Zimmerman into a racist murderer when he's not. And their PR firm and the lawyers and the handlers and the people who came here from out of state and decided to virtually incite a riot, did so improperly and I think they should be held at task for that. I am frustrated that their actions, impacted so negatively on my county, on my state and my country and were doing it for what seems to be profiteering."
But Trayvon Martin's family attorneys, Benjamin Crump and Natalie Jackson, have denied the allegations. De la Rionda also denied calling Zimmerman a racist murderer, saying, "There's no evidence that he acted in racist ways. I've never alleged on behalf of the state of Florida that he killed because he hated African-Americans, or blacks." Last week, the defense released a picture of Zimmerman's bloody nose to show that he was attacked by Trayvon Martin. O'Mara says, "If Trayvon was the aggressor, if he did in fact crack my guy's nose, which the forensic evidence seems to support , then Trayvon's actions that night are going to become a focus."
However, De la Rionda says there's no proof to the picture, adding, "There were no X-rays." O'Mara told the judge he continues to try and obtain records from the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations team. However, they haven't responded to all of his requests yet. Meanwhile, two different petitions have been created. One calls for the federal investigation into George Zimmerman possibly violating the civil rights of Trayvon Martin. The other petition states it was Zimmerman's rights which were violated and that a federal investigation should take place. Both can be found on the White House website, where citizens can file complaints.

The food was beautifully presented and not too filling, so you never left the table stuffed - altho if you were still hungry the staff would willingly bring extra helpings. My husband had 4 lobster tails on the last formal night and they still offered more! The lobsters were meaty and succulent and cooked to perfection - which can be difficult when cooking for such a large crowd! We had no complaints whatsoever about the food! And the dining experience in The Pinnacle was to die for! It deserves the 5 diamond Award!
We did our own tours in Tortola and St. Maarten - a minibus tour in the first and a sailing with the Lord Sheffield crew in the latter! Half Moon Beach was Paradise - by far the nicest private cruise ship island we have seen.
All in all, this was the best value for money we have ever had - and it was made extra special by meeting all our CC's for sailaway and farewell parties, thanks to the generosity of one couple who had a huge aft balcony that could accommodate us all!
We will certainly sail HAL again and recommend it to all our friends.

Chicago Minimalist
De Jerod Schmidt
Ignoring most of the iconic images that define Chicago, this book focuses on the (many times) unnoticed simplicity of the city, the minimalist thread that seems to hold it together. These flat surfaces and repeating patterns provide a sturdy foundation for this innovative and stubborn city.
Acerca del autor
I currently teach Graphic Arts at Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon.
I grew up in Central Oregon. After earning Bachelors degrees in both Art and Art Education I moved to Chicago, where I taught in public high schools for several years. Along with a friend, I also opened and ran an art gallery – 4Art Inc. – for two years.
My art and photography is still developing, but in general, it usually focuses on subtle urban forms, the power of nature, and often the interplay between the two.

16Catherine Zeta-Jones Looks Great Here
So we've been "hard" on Catherine Zeta-Jones lately, speculating on whether or not she's feeling physically ill, because let's be honest—girlfriend, to date, has not been looking all that healthy. Yeah, she's admitted in the past to suffering from bipolar disorder, and while she claims it's under control and medicated, she's just not looking all that happy.
These pictures, however? On the set of one of her new films, 'Red 2'? She looks pretty great. The bangs work on her in a way that they could never work on Jessica Biel (oh, my bad), her smile looks genuine, and you can tell that she really enjoys her work—as she should, because she really is quite an actress. It's good to see girlfriend in her element.
The only other thing I have to say, really, is that she looks really, really great for her fifty-three years. And yeah, I know—she claims she's forty-three. But you and I know better, now, don't we?

16 Responses to "Catherine Zeta-Jones Looks Great Here"
I think Biel looks waaaay better in those bangs, and CZJ's smile is forced. No way is she 43!
Are you kidding?! She looks HORRIBLE! I have never seen her look worse, actually. The hair is terrible, and the makeup makes her look much older than she probably is (even if she's 53). Hate to disagree, but I do!
That's a rough 43!
No. No to the bangs, no to her age & no to the bags under her eyes. No.
Yeah I agree with everyone else! She looks rough! Hope she is okay!
People age. At least she's not trying to botox her way to 23.
Her make-up isn't doing her any favors, though.
I completely agree. If she had no makeup and normal hair I think she would look great.
Yeah, i was thinking that too. I like actresses who don't get a ton of surgery, although im assuming CZJ has had a bit done. But still, she looks very natural yet beautiful, which I think is nice
She looks awesome. I love her, such a classic beauty.
Hey Sarah tell me something why are you such a cunt. You'll get there someday too and hopefully you'll be miserable when some young girl makes mention of how bad you look when you start to age.
Catherine Zeta-Jones. Wow. When she popped up in The Legend of Zorro, this lady was Tops, numero UNO on my list of the most beautiful women! I admit I was very lucky to have tapped that ass back then BUT her downfall began with Micheal Douglas. WTF? Why him? Anyway, aging wasn't to kind to her but I'd bet none of you beotches that are criticizing her now didn't get the Ann Margret blessing either!
Whoever the hell you are, she is 43. Not 53. Get with the facts. She looks amazing and she is very gorgeous.
So are they trying to make her look old in that photo above? Because that is not 43. Those are the wrinkles of someone in their fifties.
She already had plastic surgery at age 34 (or was that 44)
You are so used to seeing celebs that are nipped, tucked, sucked, and lasered, that when you see a celeb aging normally, gracefully, with no fillers or botox, you consider that "Horrid" or "terrible". We can't all stay young forever, but she has managed and will always manage to stay striking. I vote for stars aging with no work! That is true beauty!
she looks old. she got old because she lived in the same house with a pensioneer. this is what money whores get in the end.

My take on efficiently working the trigger. Let me know what you think.
This is a discussion on Working the Trigger...One Man's Take within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My take on efficiently working the trigger. Let me know what you think....
My take on efficiently working the trigger. Let me know what you think.
Good video...Good post...Totally agree...
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
I also agree. I believe that some instructors teach a far too mechanical, "point for point" type of defensive shooting. I teach what I believe is a more fluid type of approach, which I think Mr. Gomez would agree with. For example. I had a student who had attended one of the larger schools that teaches a "seven point" draw sequence. Conceptually that's fine, except when I had the student on the range, he was literally counting off each step in trying to engage his weapon. At this point even a very slow BG would have won that engagement.
Best way to win a gun fight? "That's easy, don't show up."
--Wyatt Earp
"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything."
-- Wyatt Earp
Thanks for the video.
Though defensive violence will always be a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men -St. Augustine
Good video Paul. I like the part about freeing up your mind. It would seem to make the OODA loop a little less cluttered....
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
Good Post, Paul.............IMO trigger control is the foundation of the accurately placed shot....and what your demonstrating is imperative in learning to control the re-set before the press......nice.

CASTLEMAINE police helped divert traffic on Tuesday night after a water pipe burst in Barker Street
The incident comes just one week after 40 Coliban Water customers in Castlemaine were without water for more than two hours after a main burst in Barker Street.
Constable Dave Becker from Castlemaine Police said Tuesday night's burst about 100 metres from last Tuesday's burst.
"I can't tell you a lot about it but I believe it was very similar to the last one," he said.
"We had a similar incident about a week ago in Barker Street - a burst pipe and they dug a big hole in the road and fixed it up.
"This one was very similar.
"I'm led to believe there might have been two or three spots that might have burst.
"I'm tipping that once the pipes have all gone under full pressure again it's caused it to burst somewhere else."
A burst water main was also recently reported in Bendigo at the intersection of Napier Street and Weeroona Avenue.
A Coliban Water spokesperson confirmed a 225mm AC water main burst in Barker Street, Castlemaine on Tuesday.
About 30 properties were impacted with the supply restored to customers by 10.30pm.
"The water main was originally laid in 1953 and has come to the end of its useful life," a media statement said.
"Sections of this water main are scheduled for replacement in our 2014/15 water main renewal program.
"We believe the recent failures are due to the age of the water main.
"We will be closely monitoring the water main to determine if these works will need to be re-prioritised."
Meanwhile, minor changes to the operation of the network in the area are being considered.
The media statement said bursts were part of operating and water business and would occur across the region from time to time.
"Following the recent heatwave in our region we did not experience any burst activity that was outside our expectations," the statement said.
"When bursts do occur it is largely due to the age of the water main, ground conditions or external factors such as traffic movement."

Eleventh Circuit Finds Florida's Death Penalty Statute Constitutional: What Now? Rehearing in Eleventh Circuit, or Petition for Writ of Certiorari to Supremes?
You may have read my previous post wherein I mentioned that the Eleventh Circuit has finally ruled that Florida's death penalty statute is constitutional. See Evans v. Sec'y, Dept. of Corrections, No. 11-14498 (opinion issued October 23, 2012). Well, now what can Evans do?
Only Evans and his criminal appeals lawyers know for certain what will happen next, but any appellate attorney knows that Evans generally has 3 options: (1) do nothing; (2) seek rehearing in the court of appeals; or, (3) seek discretionary review in the United States Supreme Court. If he is going to try to seek rehearing in the Eleventh Circuit or discretionary review in the United States Supreme Court, he'll have to act quickly.
A motion for rehearing in the Eleventh Circuit ("Petition for Panel Rehearing") will have to be filed within 14 days after the entry of judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 40. The Federal Rules of Appellate procedure can be found on the website for the Eleventh Circuit by clicking here.
If Evans decides to seek review in the United States Supreme Court, United States Supreme Court Rule 13 provides that a party seeking to file a petition for writ of certiorari will have to file the petition within 90 days after the entry of judgment. Rule 13.3 further provides that the 90 days begins to run from the date of the entry of the judgment, not the date mandate issues. If rehearing is sought in the lower appellate court, the 90 days begins to run from the date of the denial of rehearing or, if rehearing is granted, the subsequent entry of judgment. The Rules of the United States Supreme Court may be viewed here.
Put simply, seeking discretionary review in the United States Supreme Court is a long shot. For an interesting article on seeking review in the Supreme Court, view an article posted on the Mayer Brown website by clicking here.
And now the next round of waiting begins . . .

Leafs this year need solid two-way play and timely scoring, sort of like Paul Henderson used to give. Paul is Leaf of the Day.

I don't know why Lexington distilled Powell's eight-point doctrine down to three. What happened to "Do we have a clear attainable objective?" Beyond the first Gulf war, the Clinton administration had no clear policy toward Afghanistan until 1998-1999 which, coincidentally, followed the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings.
Powell Doctrine point five: "Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?" Obviously not. This is why Barack Obama has the hard job of finding a path to ending the war.
Sometimes a war must be fought whether or not there is "a clear attainable objective", and even when there is no "plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement". The Afghan War was one of those IMO. Every opportunity was offered to the Taliban regime to handover OBL and avoid conflict. Its refusal to do so left BushI with a binary choice - let OBL 'get away with' 9/11 or step into the quicksand that war in Afghanistan was almost certain to become. There was no genuine choice - 9/11 could not be left unredressed.
Don Rumsfeld doesn't get the credit he deserves - he understood that a Gulf War I approach would never work in Afghanistan; the historical record demonstrated that, and subsequent events have proven him right. Afghans were left to do the 'boots on the ground' work, with a minimal number of US forces providing advice, intelligence and aerial firepower. That approach had its downsides, but it did avoid the appearance of a wholesale Western invasion of Afghanistan - and it did oust the Taliban.
Obama and his crew were never as smart as DR - they saw the 'surge' work in Iraq and decided to try it in Afghanistan. The entirely predictable result is hostility from all quarters of the Afghan population. Good call, Bobo.
But not to worry - Obama will still get his ticker-tape parade, no matter how dreadful the Afghan outcome. He was elected and has a place in our hearts not because of ability or accomplishments, but because of what he looks like. Nothing changes that - so very Kennedyesque and Clintonesque, no?
I thought you would pick up where you left off on the John Kerry post after I said Clinton's foreign policy legacy is a mixed bag.
"His failure to kill OBL when the opportunity was ripe to do so is his most costly sin - one we've all had to pay a heavy price for ever since."
You skip Clinton's entire presidency by bringing in Don Rumsfeld to bridge the gap between the two wars. This is what I was alluding to above. It's as if nothing was followed through after the first Gulf war. Two years later, Al-Qaeda is responsible for the first WTC bombing. Is there anything Clinton should have done differentlybetween 1993 and the 1998 Embassy bombings? I think so.
Back on topic. However dreadful the outcome, we're sure to be reminded that Obama killed OBL in May 2011.
Sometimes a war must be fought whether or not there is "a clear attainable objective"
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this one. In Afghanistan, for example, there was a clear and attainable objective: get bin Laden, and prevent large training camps for his followers from being run there. We may have made a hash of it in the event. But the objective was quite clear.
Can you give an example of a war that really has to be (or had to be) fought, but has no clear objective? And expalin why it has to be fought. Because I can't come up with one. Thanks.

Rent to own your gear!
you love the gear you rented? Great news we here at the battery geeks
will apply your rental rate toward the purchase of a brand new battery!
Rules and Restrictions:
Rentals kept beyond 60 days will be considered "purchased" and are not eligible for rental return, exchange, or refund of deposit.
Renting for your CPAP or VPAP?
Good news, no matter your make & model the N/C-20000 is our flagship battery! No need to worry about the connections, just let us know the make and model of your system and we will include the correct one! Most of our customers are able to get 2 nights off of a fully charged N/C-20000, provided no humidifier is used. Now the question is how much gear do you need for your trip:
If you have power during the day to charge then just 1 N/C-20000 should get you through!
No Power on your trip:
An inverter is a small device that converts DC power to AC power; for
appliances that can not use DC power directly. An inverter plugs
directly into a DC power source and provides AC (wall type) outlets just
like those you are familiar with in your home.
[DC power: Battery; AC power: Wall plug]
Only the custom Inverter that we supply is guaranteed to work properly with our battery packs. The N-C20000 Battery Pack includes a DC-Out cable that can be used with multiple machines including the Respironics M-Series and System One Series devices, and all DeVilbiss IntelliPAP devices. However, ResMed machines, and Fisher & Paykel machines require the use of an inverter. Ask your CPAP provider if your machine can receive DC power. If your machine can only receive AC power; (like from the wall outlet), then you will need use the Inverter included in your rental order.
Because the Inverter keeps the voltage from the battery constant, some DC compatible machines may get more run-time with the Inverter, even though they are able to receive DC power. We suggest trying your DC compatible CPAP to Battery connection with the Inverter, & then without the Inverter to determine best run-time.

Fifty-five-year Fire Department veteran among award recipients
City of Kansas City, Mo., Fire Department dispatcher Bert Holmberg, who has worked for the City more than 55 years, is among the employees to be honored at the 14th annual Public Employees Recognition Day Awards Ceremony. Local city, county and federal governments will recognize their top employees May 10 at 2 p.m. in the Little Theater, 201 W. 13th St.
A representative from Mayor Mark Funkhouser's administration will address those in attendance and Assistant City Manager John Franklin will present City employees with their awards. This year, the City will be represented by these nine individuals/groups:
Dispatcher Bert Holmberg -- Distinguished Valor Award
Dispatcher Bert Holmberg was first employed by the Fire Department in January 1949. In only two and one-half years, he received his first promotion and became a fire apparatus operator. He distinguished himself in that position and was promoted to fire captain four years later. Holmberg served in a firefighting position for 19 years before being promoted to the rank of battalion fire chief. Holmberg retired in June 1978 after having a distinguished career serving the Kansas City community for more than 29 years. In October 1981, Holmberg was re-employed by the Fire Department as a civilian dispatcher. In February 1985, he was promoted to the position of civilian fire inspector. He transferred back to the Communications Division as a civilian dispatcher in May 1988. He continues to work in the Communications Division.
Dennis Gagnon -- Distinguished Administrative/Professional Service Award
Gagnon was hired in 2006 as the Public Works Department's first public information officer. Gagnon immediately developed strategies that laid the groundwork for positive interaction with the media, residents, business owners and other stakeholders.
Michael Shaw -- Distinguished Administrative/Professional Service Award
Shaw leads one of the most visible City divisions -- the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department. Under his management, the division has improved its production, efficiency, services provided and accuracy of service. The byproducts of these efforts have been substantial cost savings and increased customer satisfaction.
Clara Black -- Distinguished Clerical Service Award
Black is the executive assistant to the director of the Public Works Department. In November 2006, Black took on the added responsibility of supporting the newly established General Services Department. Black has been tenacious in her support to the General Services Department and has worked long hours to fulfill her duties.
Jackie Powell -- Distinguished Community Service Award
Powell, manager of the Human Services Division of the Neighborhood and Community Services Department, oversees the operation of the Robert J. Mohart Multi Purpose Center and the department's social service administration. Powell coordinated the unification of the Linwood Multi Purpose Center, now the Robert J. Mohart Multi Purpose Center, and the Social Service Division in 2003. Her efforts resulted in greater access to services, increased efficiencies, and most importantly, the opening of the center as a place for residents to convene and develop community responses.
Officer Charles Chambers -- Distinguished Public Safety Award
Chambers started working for the Police Department in January 2006, when he was 51 years old. Chambers is a patrol officer in the East Patrol Division.
Debra Connor, Jan Wilkinson, Paulette Bell and Rebecca Kinder -- Distinguished Team Award
With more than 50 years of collective professional experience in training and performance improvement, these employees of the Education and Development Division of the Human Resources Department are well qualified to meet the educational demands of the City's large work force. Connor, Wilkinson, Bell and Kinder diligently provide educational resources to City employees and performance consulting services to departments.
Susan Ferrell -- Distinguished Technical Service Award
Ferrell has worked for the Aviation Department since 2000. In 2003, she was promoted to senior engineering technician and took over the role as section manager for computer-aided design and drafting services. In 2006, Ferrell led her section in the relocation of the hard copy document library and the incorporation of the record drawings of the recently completed Terminal Improvements Program. The program renovated every aspect of the three airport terminals.
James Smith -- Distinguished Trade/Craft Service Award
In 2006, Smith took on the challenge of overseeing five outdoor water facilities. These newly opened, complex, water spraygrounds required individualized and continuous oversight and management. While addressing the needs of the City's spraygrounds, Smith continues to manage his other daily responsibilities. The Parks and Recreation Department named him the 2006 Employee of the Year.
Media inquiries and other requests for more information about these awards should be directed to Julie Geltmaker, City Manager's Office, (816) 513-2805.

It wouldn't be Halloween without your requisite black cat, and this homemade mask breaks the mold. Modeled after super dog Bolt's sassy feline sidekick, it's simply created by gluing together a few scrapbook paper and cardstock cutouts to make a quick costume starter. For the rest of the costume, all you need are black clothes and white shoes and gloves (for white paws). For an extra authentic touch, you can also pin a patch of white faux fur or craft paper on the front of a black shirt to resemble Mitten's white chest.
You'll need:
- Mischievous Mittens Mask template
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Scrapbook paper (3 shades of black, white, pink, and green)
- Glue stick
- Black colored pencil or marker
- Craft knife
- Thin black sewing elastic
- Stapler
- Print out the template and cut out the pieces. From one shade of black paper, cut out 2 heads (one for Mitten's face and one to use as a backing for the mask). From another shade of black paper, cut out a left and a right eye circle and two pupils. Cut out a left and a right eyelid from the last shade of black paper.
- From white paper, cut out a snout and a chin, and a left and a right eyeball. Finally, cut out the ears and nose from pink paper and two irises from green paper.
- Once you've got all the pieces, refer to the last page of the template for a guide on how to place them. Start by gluing the irises and pupils onto the eyeballs, being mindful that the ones that belong to the right eye should be tucked into the inner corner (this is what makes Mittens look like he's glancing sideways). You'll also want be sure the left eye circle is positioned closer to the side of the face than the right one.
- Draw on any extra details, such as nostrils or a few light whiskers. Then use the craft knife to eyeholes (for the person wearing the mask) in the pupils, making sure they are large enough to provide good visibility.
- Cut a piece of elastic that is just a little longer than necessary to fit around the back of your child's head. Knot the ends and staple them to the sides of the mask backing.
- Glue the mask onto the backing, matching up all of the edges. Then cut eyeholes through the backing to match the ones in the mask, and it's ready to wear.

Friday, May 24
Satoshi Matsuoka, Tokyo Institute of Technology,
The Futures of Tsubame Supercomputer and the Japanese HPCI Towards Exascale
Future Technologies Group Seminar
4:00 PM — 5:00 PM, Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (Building 5100) Auditorium (Room 128)
Contact: Jeff Vetter (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.576.7115
AbstractSpeaker: Satoshi Matsuoka, Global Scientific Information and Computing Center, Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences, Tokyo Institute of Technology
HPCI is the Japanese High Performance Computer Infrastructure, which encompasses the national operations of major supercomputers, such as the K supercomputer and Tsubame2.0, much like the XSEDE in the United States and PRACE in Europe. Recently it was announced that the Japanese MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) is intending to initiate a project towards an exascale supercomputer to be deployed around 2020. However, the workshop report that recommenedt the project also calls out for a comprehensive infrastructure where a flagship machine will be supplemented with leadership machines to complement the abilities of the flagship. Although it is still early, I will attempt to discuss the current status of Tsubame2.0 evolution to 2.5 and 3.0 in this context, as well as the activities in Japan to initiate an exascale effort, with collaborative elements with the US Department of Energy partners in system software development.

Launch ramps in 2014 could become very lonely places.
That might sound good for those of you who eschew long lines but, unfortunately, if you own an outboard boat, you'll be among those not at the ramps — when you're unable to find (or afford) usable fuel.
Ethanol, a gasoline additive made from corn, is currently blended into gasoline at a 10 percent level. After some years of angst, adjustments and damaged outboard engines, the recreational fishing-boating community is living, if unhappily, with that much ethanol.
But for several years, we've also lived under a federal sword of Damocles — that of increasing ethanol levels to 15 percent (and higher). The general consensus is that boaters cannot live with that, since our engines won't survive that level of ethanol.
The Environmental Protection Agency waived that increase again this year, but odds are it won't, and in fact, under federal law can't do so again in 2014.
The bottom line is either that federal law is changed or revoked by Congress, and soon; if not, our sport and its multibillion-dollar industries are in for some difficult times.
"That federal law" is the Renewable Fuel Standard of 2005. With the best of intentions, lawmakers felt that gradually increasing the proportion of renewable fuels to gasoline would help resolve one of our biggest concerns at that time: reliance on foreign petroleum.
So the RFS mandated that such fuels be blended into gasoline. Though ethanol is only one such alternative fuel — in fact, it owns about 90 percent of the RFS market. So we're talking huge dollars — a tremendous boon to farm belt states where most corn is grown. Most legislators from those states will tell you ethanol is great, and the more the better. I'm not sure a lot of those legislators are avid anglers who run their own outboard boats.
In any case, what really makes the RFS a huge problem is the way it was set up. Keep in mind that, at the time, never ever had gasoline usage in this country done anything but go up, up, up, year after year. So the law specified how many gallons of ethanol each year would be added to gasoline.

Nice safe callout from RDA there.
Talk is cheap...because supply exceeds demand.
Im going with Ross in this one. Diego has looked pretty meh lately.
Diego didn't reeeeally deserve it. I thought it was interesting that Buffer called him "Nightmare" in the winner announcement.
wtf!?!? God I hate these bullshit hometown decisions.
Are you fucking kidding me? What a home job absolutely awful decision. How do judges give 30-27 to both fighters.
Diego Sanchez. How does he do it?
41 - 19 for Sanchez.
A lot of people complain about the Kampman decision but that was way worse
Favourites- Fedor, Randy, the Nogs, Bas, Hunt, Igor Vovchanchyn, Lesnar, Chael, Jennum, Matt Brown, Taktarov, Pat Barry, Bam Bam Dewees, Hamill, Renzo, Cro Cop, Te Huna, Maia, Lawler, Mousasi
At least Kenny acknowledged the fact that the judges are fucking stupid and should be ashamed.
