Shawn Johnson, Kelly Monaco & Melissa Rycroft compete to be 'Dancing with the Stars' champs
The Girl Power will be turned up to nuclear levels for the season finale of "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars."
The three finalist ladies got to perfect a previous dance and enjoy a freestyle. But not just any ordinary freestyle. It's 2012 and today's women demand a supersized freestyle, darn it!
Two dances Monday night. The first one is the redo. Let's go.
First up, actress Kelly Monaco and Val decide to give another whirl to their paso doble from week three, Iconic Dance week. Kelly notes how they made it to the finals without scoring a single ten. One guess how long that will last. Onto the dance, which looks more demanding than its first go around. Kelly has sharp precision, their hold is great, her spins are amazing. She does have one slip-up, though.
In week three, Judge Len Goodman called their paso Kelly's best dance yet, and he's saying it again for week ten. Bruno Tonioli said Kelly always has power, but tonight she had artistry. Carrie Ann Inaba said she was proud of Kelly, who struggled the hardest to get to the finals. Really? Ask Shawn Johnson about her lifelong struggle to get to the Olympics.
Slip-up notwithstanding, they get 29.5 out of 30, a near perfect score with two elusive tens. Still, that's higher than their original 27 for that same dance.
Kelly tweeted, "Thank you for all your support. We couldn't have made it this far without you.
@ iamValC and I will fight till the end!!! # teamvally # dwts ."
Next, TV host Melissa Rycroft and Tony redo their samba. Also from week three, Iconic Dance week. Huh. Surely just an odd coincidence, right? It starts off with Tony doing that thing where he kicks Melissa's head around like a hacky sack. She looks like she's really dancing, just enjoying the whole routine, but she could do a little more hip action. Maybe that's just me. Good kicks and nice footwork, but some moves seem a bit clunky.
Bruno says Melissa blossomed as a performer. Carrie Ann says Melissa's abs look ridiculous. Aww, Carrie, don't be jelly. Len says they had great technique and great rhythm. Score: all tens. Perfect 30. A big improvement on the original 27.
Last, Shawn and Derek redo their quickstep. Also from Iconic Dance week. Hey, wait a minute! Shawn picks this dance because it was the first time they did a dance differently. In other words, breaking the rules. They broke hold, which is a quickstep no-no. Derek wants to do that again. Of course, he does. Speak up for yourself, Shawn, don't let Derek get all Bela Karolyi on you. It starts with them doing flips to "Hey Pachuco" again. They look great in hold, have great footwork, great extensions. Do they break the hold? Umm, does host Brooke Burke have on a tight dress? Duh! It looks peculiar for a quickstep, but the whole thing is a crowd-pleaser. In fact, everyone's clapping along. They seem weightless at points and, once again, dive into the bandstand to finish. Big cheers.
Carrie Ann says it's sad they chose to not follow the rules because, at this point, points matter. She hopes it pays off for them. Len calls it a fantastic routine, but says they're not allowed to break hold. Bruno says their scores are bound by the rules, but that takes nothing away from their achievement. Derek looks validated. Shawn looks like someone took the wind out of her sails. Score: 27, just a notch higher than their original score of 26.5.
Onto round two, the supersize freestyle. What does supersize mean? Everything but the kitchen sink, of course. The stars picked the style, song, costumes and extra performers.
If you didn't watch, take a moment to process this one. Kelly and Val put a lot of planning into it. Their freestyle opens with Kelly twirling above the dance floor doing an aerial stunt. Val is literally serenading her, actually playing a violin to the theme of "I've Had The Time of My Life." Yep, suddenly it's "Dirty Dancing," folks. She twirls to the ground and into Val's arms and even has that big Jennifer Grey smile on her face. He picks her up like a dashing knight and Kelly looks glorious. Oh, look, there's a gospel chorus singing. Cue the whole dance troupe to flesh out the routine, so suddenly it's the big dance number from the movie. She sprints at him and he lifts her like Patrick Swayze did Jennifer. Gotta hand it to Kelly, she plotted out a routine that is many girls' fantasy.
Len says the opening was spectacular and he loved the lifts. He notes, it lacked originality but the actual dance was spellbinding. Bruno calls it Cirque du Soleil meets "Dirty Dancing." He adds, "Patrick, I'm telling you, is smiling on you." Carrie Ann says it was a perfect dance for them and a happy ending to a beautiful love story.
Before they get their scores, Brooke confronts the flirty couple: "Give it up. Is this showmance, is this romance?" Kelly skirts it by saying there's one more day of interviews left. Also, overlook the fact that Kelly has a long-term boyfriend. They get 29.5, 59 overall.
Melissa and Tony chose
a contemporary
Bruno calls it the perfect setting to showcase all of Melissa's extraordinary qualities. Carrie Ann says they took humongous risks and will get a great reward. Len calls it wonderful. Perfect 30, perfect 60 overall.
Melissa tweeted, "Love reading your Tweets! They always make me smile! Thank you for making this ride so special for us :-). What a great journey!!"
For their freestyle, Shawn and Derek brought in the US Women's Gymnastics Team. The number begins with a Cirque du Soleil-esque tango. It's very Vegas showgirl-ish when the Fierce Five show up. Shawn and Derek simply cut a rug, flipping around and– did I just see a Bollywood move? Then it channels some Vaudeville vibe. It's like history of dance as they spin and flip across the floor like grand performers. It's a big number.
Carrie Ann says these two have been doing freestyle the whole season, that we all waited for this, and it did not disappoint. Len calls it a medley of Derek and Shawn's best hits. Bruno says it was exploding with brilliance. Perfect 30, 57 overall.
As for nailing that freestyle with her Olympic buddies, Shawn tweeted, "You have no idea how much it means to me to be able to share this moment with them.
The rate this show is going, next season it will do freestyles from the bottom of the ocean, the surface of Mars, and Dick Cheney's bunker. Who will win Tuesday night?
It's way too early to tell. Remember, these three All-Stars still have another dance. An instant dance. That's when they learn, live on TV, which style and song they will dance do a half hour later. They only know the style will either be a jive, cha cha or samba. Only the judges will vote on those - no viewer votes, so Derek's rule-breaking could come back to haunt him.
But the best part is the return of DanceCenter with Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice handicapping the odds with Len.
Oh, and we can probably look forward to emotional pre-produced segments for each of the All-Stars, meant only to make us cry.
The finale of "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" airs Tuesday night at 9:00 on ABC.

Pat's Potato Salad Recipe
I developed this recipe while working at a restaurant. We wanted a salad that would complement a barbecue sandwich and use up day-old baked potatoes. It keeps well and seems to taste even better after being refrigerated. Patricia Maul Battlesville, Oklahoma
- 12 medium red potatoes, cooked, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 4 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, onion and parsley. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour over potatoes and mix well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Salad can be prepared a day ahead. Yield: 12-16 servings.

If you are still reading this by day's end, then clearly you have survived another overhyped prediction of apocalypse.
Sorry, no gnashing of teeth. No celestial cataclysm. No dogs and cats living together.
But even if it seems silly that so many people took seriously the end of the 13th baktun cycle of the Maya calendar, none of us should feel confident that our civilization is impervious to rapid upheaval. I reflected upon this recently during a visit to Machu Picchu, the icon of an indigenous civilization that, in a matter of years, saw its world turned upside down.
Up until the early 16th century, the Inca ruled over the largest empire in South America. They controlled all of Peru, and parts of what are now Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile.
Fearsome warriors and sophisticated engineers, they built monumental works of architecture. At Machu Picchu and other Inca sites in Peru, I marveled at Inca walls made out of massive interlocking blocks of granite and beautiful gravity-fed water fountains that date back to the 1400s.
The Inca empire might have thrived for centuries more, but then, right at its peak, the Spanish invaded. The first invasion was a spread of smallpox from Central America that weakened the Incan hold on power. The second was a group of conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro and his brothers.
The Spanish were vastly outnumbered. Yet with their horses, armor, swords, resupply ships and willingness to massacre thousands, they were able to overwhelm the Incas with as few as 168 men. Within a few years, they had plundered much of the Inca gold. By 1572, they had brutally crushed the last of its resistance.
Amazingly, the Spanish never discovered Machu Picchu, one reason it remains so intact. Archaeologists still debate the purpose of Machu Picchu. Many believe it was a winter retreat for the Inca rulers lower in elevation than Cuzco, the Inca capital.
My visit to Machu Picchu came on a bright spring day in Peru Thanksgiving, as it turned out when I was thankful for the opportunity to visit such a wondrous place. As clouds moved across the peaks of the Andes, altering the morning and afternoon light, I tried to imagine what life might have been like in this community in 1529. That was year the queen of Spain gave Pizarro permission to conquer an entire civilization.
Surely, as they worked their fields and raised their families, the Inca had no idea their days were numbered. They referred to Cuzco as the "navel of the world," and yet they were oblivious of the vastness of that world and how rapidly it was closing in upon them. For the Inca, Armageddon didn't happen in a day. It was the price they paid for being unable to see the storm that was gathering on the horizon.

Recent Air-Filled Sleeping Pad Reviews
Klymit Static V
Fairly light, rolls up small, big on comfort. This is a great backpacking air mattress for those desiring a little comfort for not a lot of weight or space when roughing it in the woods or on the trail. The total package rolls up when not in use to the size of the average soda can. Inflation is a breeze with 10 breaths or less until inflated...leaps ahead of other mattresses and inflators. Comfort is great and one can even sleep comfortably on your side! The value is there too as most can be found… Full review
REI Flash Insulated Air Pad
Lightweight, quick inflate, and very comfortable. REI Flash sleeping pad (long) is one of the lightest and compact pads I've owned. I primarily hike on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia and North Carolina and this pad has made my nights very comfortable. I would recommend this air pad. Full review
Exped SynMat UL 7
It was lightweight and quiet and because of outside sections being bigger than inside, created a nice hollow in the center where you would less likely slide off. I wanted a lightweight pad to replace my old Thermarest and I researched the products and decided to buy the SynMat for a couple of reasons. One, it wasn't suppose to be as noisy as the others, and it wasn't, and the shape creates a natural depression in the middle so you didn't have as much a tendency to slide off, which really worked. Full review
REI Flash Insulated Air Pad
After 18 months of use over four seasons, I've had NO problems and tons of great sleep. It is replacing my ExPed SynMat 7 (which I love). Packs much smaller and the same comfort (in three seasons). Spring through fall, this alone has been all I've needed. Night time comfort is wonderful, even for this old, 55-year-old body. In winter, the insulation isn't enough alone (isn't supposed to be) so I just put a closed foam pad under to keep me insulated from the frozen ground. Inflating and deflating… Full review
Therm-a-Rest Women's NeoAir XLite
Light, easy, comfortable, but SLIPPERY! I was impressed with the tiny size and light weight. But it took many more than the "20 breaths" to inflate! Quick and easy deflate. Comfortable, even though it looks too thin when inflated. BUT very slippery, despite using same brand sleeping bag with the "system" of two straps meant to keep sleeping bag on the pad. I woke every morning with some part of me on the ground — shoulder, hip or entire trunk of body — while head was on pad! Very expensive system… Full review
Exped DownMat 7
It is the most comfortable and durable bed to lay on and own. I don't travel without it. Never had a bed last me for so long and still work like the first day I bought it. Full review
Big Agnes Double Z
A fluffy cloud made for sleeping! The Double Z saw its first action in GSMNP on a recent three night car camping trip in June. True to the statements made by Big Agnes it inflated to a pillowy 4 inches in thickness. No problems with the thickness at all (pretty much why I bought it in the first place), but my personal preference would have been to be a couple of inches wider at the shoulder ( it is listed at 20" wide). I know the larger pad is wider (25" wide) but I just did not need the extra length. Full review
NEMO Cosmo Air 20R
A comfortable, quieter, and less expensive alternative to the Therm-a-Rest NEOAir and similar ground pads. This is one you should definitely consider if you are looking for a great night's sleep on the hard ground! Easy to pump up and excellent to sleep on. Highly recommend. After many years of using my old self inflating Therm-a-Rest pad, I have made the transition to the newer and much more comfortable version of ground pads. I am soooo happy I did! Some background on me so this review has more… Full review
Therm-a-Rest Men's NeoAir XLite
Exceptional super lightweight sleeping pad that offers a great night sleep. I recently had the privileged to borrow a NeoAir Xlite from a friend for an overnight trip after he was raving about it. I must say I am blown away by this product! Not only is the NeoAir super light, it's also thick and warm — the perfect trifecta when it comes to a sleeping pad on the trail. Lightweight: As any backpacker will tell you, it's very important to keep your weight down when putting your feet to the trail. Full review

How credit and debt fall between the generation gaps
Monday, March 5, 2012 5:01 PM EST
Monday, March 5, 2012 5:01 PM EST
(ARA) - Different tastes in music and varying perspectives on history aren't the only factors that define the gaps between the generations. A new credit trends study shows that the generations also differ on how they handle credit and debt.
Members of the Greatest Generation (Americans older than 66) have the highest average credit score, 820, according to the study by Experian. The average score for Generation Y (ages 19 to 29) is 672. While 148 points separate their average scores, the two groups are much more closely aligned in the relatively lower amount of debt they both carry. Conversely, baby boomers (ages 47 to 65), and members of Generation X (ages 30 to 46) carry much higher debt loads, the study shows, and just 64 points separate their average scores of 782 and 718, respectively.
"While 'generation gap' is a common term when referring to topics such as music, fashion, culture and politics, the study reveals that age groups manage their money and debts quite differently as well," says Michele Raneri, vice president of analytics for
. "This study shows that baby boomers are steadily pursuing the American dream, while Gen Yers are starting to build their credit through student loan and auto payments. Gen Xers are dealing with the highest debt and the Greatest Generation is reducing its overall debt."
The generations also differ in their average amount of debt. Not surprisingly, Gen Y has the lowest average debt: $34,765. But their closet age group, Generation X, has the highest at $111,121. Baby boomers and the Greatest Generation have average debts of $101,951 and $38,043, respectively.
The composition of that
has some interesting similarities and startling contrasts among the generations. A first mortgage constitutes the largest percentage portion of debt for all four generations. However, while second mortgages are the second largest percentage of debt for members of the Greatest, baby boom and X generations, student loans occupy that spot for the Y generation.
"No matter your life circumstances, establishing and maintaining a positive credit history is more important than ever," says Raneri.
The credit experts at Experian offer some advice that can be valuable to all generations:
* Paying your bills on time is the single most important contributor to good credit. Late or missed payments negatively affect your ability to get credit.
* A strong credit history can affect your ability to get a job, qualify for an apartment rental, or buy your first car or house. Since length of credit history is a factor in calculating credit scores, it's important for Gen Yers to begin establishing credit as soon as possible.
* A variety of types of accounts and low utilization rate over a longer period of time will help you qualify for larger lines of credit at better rates.
* Thinking of making a major purchase on credit? You need to demonstrate stability in the three to six months leading up to the purchase. Avoid big credit moves, such as opening or closing accounts or moving large amounts of money around.
* Be sure to review your full credit report on a regular basis (and especially before major purchases) and fix any errors. If you come across any inaccurate information, the fastest way to get it corrected is online through the credit reporting company that provided your credit report. Creditors are allowed 30 days to respond to any claims, but many times, the dispute can be resolved before then.
* As you reach midlife, you should shift your focus to paying down major purchases (such as a mortgage) and saving for retirement. While consumers of all ages should aim to live debt free, it is even more important the closer you get to retirement age.
* Older Americans should remember to stay engaged with their credit histories. Some people stop opening accounts or using credit on a regular basis as they age, which means they aren't checking up on their credit histories as often. This can make older generations more vulnerable to fraud.
"For all consumers, establishing and maintaining a positive credit history is an important step in achieving financial goals," says Maxine Sweet, vice president Consumer Education, Experian. "At any age, paying bills on time is the single most important contributor to good credit."

- I'm a sabermetrician (if such thing really exists, because everyone who likes baseball likes stats- the question is which stats one prefers), so I don't necessarily believe in 'clutch' performers. Clutch situations tend to be very few and far between, meaning that actual samples are too small and widely spread to really represent a real skill or talent relating to late and or close games.
However, being a stathead, I can appreciate the simple and complex beauty of WPA, Win Probability Added. This is a stat that simply looks at an event in a game and examines the probability that each team is given to win before and after, assigning a resulting number to the event. Before Elvis came up in the 8th inning of the series closer, the Ranger's WE (Win Expectancy) was 19.5- there was a 19% chance the Rangers would win. Elvis' triple changed that to 48.6- a swing of 28%.
Josh Hamilton's homer then drove the Rangers' win expectancy up to 75.4. Turning your chances of winning from remote to near certain in the span of three batters (I'm not forgetting Ian's walk here); that's pretty clutch.
- The Rangers just swept a bad team. That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is the Rangers just swept a team on the road. Another: they swept a team on the road in a place where they had won only once before this series. Another; they swept a team on the road in a stadium where they had only won once -- while starting their #3, #4 and #5 guys.
Another; they swept a team on the road in a stadium they had only ever won once while pitching the back of the rotation against a team that, when play started, had the best player in baseball this year (Josh Willingham led baseball in wRC+, an all-encompassing offensive metric). So, yes, that was a pretty good series.
- Any observer could tell you Yu Darvish has to improve his command. He will. The adjustment he's making, on the sport's biggest stage, can't be overstated. And he's fulfilling reasonable expectations, as is, and putting up good enough raw results. But the walks have to come down, and the rate at which batters are hitting liners off of him needs to drop from where it is now (35%!). Again, he will improve.
- It's very, very early in the season, but I could see the Mariners being stouter competition for the AL West than the Angels. AND YOUR TEARS ARE DELICIOUS, ANGELS FANS.
- I told y'all about Robbie Ross. I told y'all.His development (and the development of respect and trust for him from Maddux and Wash) is key for the bullpen, both to save wear and tear on Ogando, Adams, and Nathan as well as for platoon matchups. That, and he leads the Rangers bullpen in walks this year- with one. Rangers relievers have issued one very lonely walk in ten games.
- Second Base prospect Rougned Odoris the youngest player in full-season professional baseball. You'll hear more about him from me, partially because his name is Rougned Odor, and partially because he's a pretty good prospect.
- Until a crazy Kevin Correia outing yesterday, Matt Harrison led the universe in groundball rate (he's a measly 2nd now). Before his second start, an opposing hitter told ESPN's Buster Olney that Harrison had developed a "turbo sinker." This is something else you'll be hearing more from me about as the data develops, but, if you're into spoilers, I'll say this: Wow.

Mike Wallace put up decent fantasy football stats given the Steelers sputtering offense. Ben Roethlisberger threw one touchdown pass and Wallace caught it, to go along with 76 yards receiving on just two catches. Pittsburgh only needed 17 points to beat the Jaguars on Sunday.
Wallace was averaging 107 receiving yards a game with 536 receiving yards on the season and three touchdowns through his first five weeks of the 2011 NFL season. Wallace's receiving yards per game is up nearly 30 yards per game.
Wallace was ranked by Yahoo! as the 7th ranked wide receiver heading into Week 6 taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars who rank 10th against the pass.

A pair of shootings in Elbert County on Thursday afternoon left three women injured and the gunman dead, according to Sheriff Melvin Andrews.
The first shooting happened about 12:30 p.m. at 1650 Old Middleton Church Road.
Andrews said that arriving deputies found three women suffering from gunshot wounds. He said one woman was treated a local hospital, while the other two were flown to other hospitals in the region.
Deputies have identified the victims as Veronica Woodall, Jacquelyn Stacks and Maryann Bing.
The deputies at the scene were told the identity of the shooter was Donnie Williams, but when they went to his house, he was not there, Andrews said. He said deputies then spotted Williams' truck in some nearby woods. He said that when deputies ordered Williams to drop his weapon, he shot himself.
Deputies said Stacks is Williams' granddaughter, Bing is her boyfriend's mother and Woodall is a relative. A family member told FOX Carolina that Woodall is Stacks' stepmother.
Witnesses at the scene told FOX Carolina that the shooting stemmed from an argument over land. Andrews said Williams had signed six acres of land over to Stacks but wanted it back. He said investigators believe that dispute led to the shootings.
"There's no way that land or whatever was worth what happened today," Andrews said. "Even Mr. Williams shooting himself - it could have totally been avoided."
Andrews said he did not know the conditions of the victims. He said Williams died about 2 a.m. Friday at the hospital.
The investigation will continue to confirm what prompted the shooting, and deputies will check with the District Attorney's office to see if any charges will be filed even though the shooter died, Andrews said.

One person was killed in a crash involving four different vehicles, and the wreck shut down an intersection.
The elderly woman, who suffered critical injuries, later died from those injuries. Authorities said she was driving her car the wrong way in the westbound lanes of Parallel Parkway when she struck three other vehicles.
Police aren't releasing the woman's name until they receive positive identification from her family.
The crash happened about 3:50 p.m. at 92nd Street and Parallel Parkway. Parallel Parkway was closed while officials investigated the cause of the crash.
The road was wet from precipitation, but it's unknown at this time if that was a factor.
Other people involved in the crash suffered minor injuries.

(WMC-TV) - The Memphis Police Department asked for a half-million dollar grant to test more than 2,200 dormant rape kits, but an Action News 5 source says that the number of untested rape kits is upwards of 12,000.
City officials say they are assessing the estimate, but are pushing to have all the kits tested.
"We don't know how many there are yet. It could be as 'much' as 10,000," said Memphis councilman Kemp Conrad.
Rape kits are tested in two phases. Phase one includes serology testing, which determines if there is enough DNA present. This comes at the cost of about $250 per test. Conrad proposed a resolution approving $2.5 million to test them all.
"If there is any time to do a knee-jerk reaction ... It's on an issue as important as this," said Conrad. "I could find $2.5 million in city government with my eyes closed. So I've got a lot of ideas of where we could get that money out of the budget."
He proposed getting the money from the city's reserve fund.
"That, I thought, was an emotional reaction," said Memphis councilman Myron Lowery.
Lowery and eight other council members voted against it.
"We need to find the funds from someplace other than our reserve funds," he said. "Everyone agrees this is a serious problem and we need to deal with it. We will find the funds to test those rape kits. This should have been done some time ago."
The city council will revisit the matter in two weeks. Conrad says it should be priority number one.
"It's a core function of city government. City Government is about choices, and we fund a lot of things. I don't know that there's anything more important than getting this right," said Conrad.
If there is enough DNA, the kit moves onto phase two testing. Conrad says the council needs to figure that cost as well.

Michael Moore Holiday Message Cites Quote Lifted by Rove Indictment Hoaxer
Michael Moore, in his Christmas Message to his readers, cited a quote by William Rivers Pitt who is best known to the world as one of the perpetrators, along with Jason Leopold and Marc Ash of TruthOut, of the journalistic hoax that Karl Rove had been indicted on May 12, 2006. Here is Moore quoting Pitt who is quoting without attribution Douglas Adams in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy":
Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas (or a Merry Everything) and hope you are all well today.
Here's a good thought from the writer William Rivers Pitt:
"Before Santa and presents and shopping and all the attendant Christmas (stuff) got involved, this holiday was enshrined to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another. If you have two cloaks, He said, give one away. Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful."
Hear, hear.
One "small" problem...Pitt never credited Douglas Adams in the piece cited by Moore. Here is the Douglas Adams quote that Pitt lifted:
...nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change...
And how do we know that Pitt intentionally lifted that quote from Adams? Because Pitt himself admitted as much but only AFTER he was called on it in the Democratic Underground thread he posted to let everyone there know that Moore was quoting him when he was really quoting Douglas Adams. Here is a DUer "ruining" the party by calling Pitt on his plagiarism:
Mister Douglass Adams Would like to have a word with you for plagiarizing his word, if he wasn't dead. For shame, Mister Pitt. For shame.
Pitt then attempts to laugh it off but does admit that he stole the quote:
Good eye.
"Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright." - Sam Seborn
I ain't great, but I definitely nabbed the line.
Thank you for that admission, Will, AFTER you got caught in the act. Although William Rivers Pitt has been condemned to political purgatory following the exposure his Karl Rove indictment hoax, there is still a small opening for him that might be available...on the staff of Joe Biden.

Remember what Jesus said

"Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful."
It's always fascinating when Liberals quote or, as in this case, paraphrase Jesus. It's to bad they pick and chose which "peaceful" message to quote. Jesus wasn't as peaceful, as charitable, as the liberals like to claim. After all, it was Jesus who said: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

The Lord did implore us to give. He did NOT implore the government to confiscate it from us and give it to those who would never try to provide for themselves again but insure their vote inperpetuity.
Michael Moore is an adept propagandist who is advancing the lies the liberal elites want advanced, therefore he wins accolades and prizes for that reason and that reason only. The crockumentaries he did that were on subjects the libagentia didn't care about fell on their asses. Speaking of enormous a&&es.

Moore finally gets it
Submitted by dtruth27 on Tue, 12/28/2010 - 2:25am.
Moore used this quote in his message:
..."this holiday was enshrined to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another. If you have two cloaks, He said, give one away. Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful."
And then Moore added a "hear, hear."
Good to see Moore is on board with the Conservative philosophy. Notice it says "give." This means of your own free will, not taken away from you by the government and redistributed to others. Mr. Moore, get out your check book and immediately give all of your wealth to the needy. If you think the government needs the money, write them a check. They accept overpayments as gifts. There is nothing stopping you, not even the extension of the current tax laws for ALL.
And for all of the Liberals who says that Jesus would be a Liberal if He were alive today, all you would have to do is show that Liberals support abortion and it would be game over. No way would Jesus support this act, especially against children, who He considered to be precious in every way and would have done anything to protect them.
Game Over.

Xiangzhong ``Jerry'' Yang's driver darts between cars in the chaos of a north Beijing highway and turns south into a landscape crammed with construction cranes, each perched on a yellow, 10-story, metallic foot, like sentries to a new era of prosperity.
The University of Connecticut researcher has come home to a country where he nearly starved to death as a child and where authorities once condemned scientists to work on farms. Now he is asking China to help him become the world's first scientist to clone human embryos for their stem cells -- and perhaps cure mankind's most pernicious diseases.
cancer, and he even forgets briefly that this day, July 31, 2006, is his 47th birthday. But his friends, family, former U.S. students and scientific colleagues in China remember. They wait patiently at a newly renovated, ultra-modern hotel to honor him.
When Yang arrives in the reception room of gleaming glass and black tile, Chen Jingda, the former Communist Party secretary at his alma mater, Beijing Agricultural University, rises and holds a glass of wine out to the table.
``To your health, which is vital not just to China, but to the entire world,'' Chen says.
Yang is a celebrity in Beijing, where he has traveled in an effort to convince government officials to set aside $50 million to launch his vision: an international, multipronged cloning project in which the finest minds in the world would collaborate rather than compete.
After almost a quarter-century in the United States, Yang is lobbying hard to propel his native country into the top ranks of biomedical science. It is a chance for the scientist from Storrs not only to push his plan forward, but also to make good on a lifelong promise to bring prosperity to the land of his birth.
The time is ripe. Beijing plans to host the world's best athletes at the Summer Olympics in 2008, Yang tells government officials during his visit. Imagine the prestige of also hosting an elite international team of stem cell researchers and cloning visionaries.
Yang has lined up tentative agreements from several top Western scientists to participate in an international consortium. Although they want to see more details of his plan, scientists such as Kevin Eggan of Harvard and Keith Campbell, co-creator of the first cloned animal, Dolly, and now a professor at the University of Nottingham, have indicated they are willing to help direct research in Chinese laboratories during periodic visits.
For Western scientists, the benefit is clear. They will have access to money and thousands of bright, young Chinese researchers. They will have a place to work without some of the political and religious roadblocks that have made research tricky in the United States.
For Chinese scientists, the collaborations will give them the most precious scientific currency -- international credibility. It is a chance for China to stake its claim on the cutting edge of biomedical research, erasing decades-old memories of the dismantling of its higher education system under Mao Tse-tung.
In an attempt to become a world-class scientific power, China is investing heavily in new research. And, for the first time in decades, substantial numbers of Chinese scientists trained in American universities are returning home, lured by promises of spacious new labs and unfettered financial support.
In Beijing, the contours of scientific promise are clear when Yang visits an old student, who is working on cloning a human embryo -- the research Yang is trying to get going in the United States.
Shaorong Gao is a Chinese version of Clark Kent, with spectacles, a wrestler's chest and ballerina's waist. He learned his trade with cloning pioneer Ian Wilmut and worked with Yang at Storrs for a year. But Gao was lured from the United States by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing -- one of the most prestigious labs in China's burgeoning biomedical establishment.
Because of federal funding freezes in the United States, Gao had little chance of landing his own lab there -- and zero chance of getting government support to conduct controversial cloning research.
In China, however, Gao has been outfitted with a brand-new laboratory that accommodates upward of 20 researchers -- more than Yang employs at his Center for Regenerative Biology in Storrs. The Chinese government and the city of Beijing have invested $50 million in the sparkling new building, which houses 30 large laboratories. On pristine, clean, blue slate counters sits state-of-the-art equipment, such as the micro-manipulators needed to insert DNA into eggs the size of a period.
Gao is paid the equivalent of $40,000 a year, far exceeding the wages of most Chinese scientists. Gao also was given a $100,000 housing allowance, a substantial sum even in the rapidly escalating Beijing housing market.
For lunch, Gao takes Yang to a luxury hotel connected to the research center by a walkway that crosses a tranquil pond and bamboo forest. Joining them is Li Wang, an embryonic stem cell researcher who worked with Yang's wife for a year in Storrs before taking a position at Beijing University.

Microfabricated biochips are developed to continuously monitor cell population dynamics in a non-invasive manner. In the presented work we describe the novel combination of contact-less dielectric microsensors and microfluidics to promote biofilm formation for quantitative cell analysis.
We demonstrate that DNA methylation patterns can serve as characteristic markers to distinguish different cell types. We have identified panels of methylation markers that are specific to mesenchymal stem cells or various differentiated cell types in the mesenchymal lineage. This method of cell type identification has a number of advantages over conventional markers in that it is robust, is both qualitative and quantitative.
Recently, TaqMan® assays have been developed for detection of genetic variation at gene level using primers and probes designed for genomic DNA sequences. The R package TaqGCN contains classes and methods that can be used for data reading and plotting, and for predicting gene copy number.
The EasyBeacons™ presented here are based on the novel technology Intercalating Nucleic Acid, INA®, linked to a fluorophore and a quencher. INA® is composed of normal DNA nucleotides and Intercalating Pseudo Nucleotides (IPNs). The fact that the EasyBeacons™ are mostly composed of normal DNA nucleotides means that in many respects EasyBeacons™ behave like DNA based probes, allowing use of standard buffers, primers and enzymes and hence reduces the optimisation efforts.
Sensitive and specific method real-time PCR was developed for diagnostics of certain plant viruses. Real-time PCR can be used for determination of different viruses as well as for differentiation between related strains of viruses. The method can also be used for detection of low concentrations of plant viruses in various samples such as environmental waters, growth substrates and seeds.
Using the CTC kit (CellSearch™), cells that attached to anti-EpCAM Moab were immunomagnetically separated and used for analysis of a selected pilot set of 32 genes by real time RT-PCR. This study shows the feasibility of multiple gene expression analysis on RNA isolated from only one tumor cell. Most importantly, expression analysis of several tumor-specific genes in blood samples containing only 2 tumor cells is already possible.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed a micro/nano particle trap that allows surface-functionalized magnetic or non-magnetic particles to be trapped with subsequent perfusion of sample, reagents and wash solutions, yielding significant (up to 5-fold) improvements in assay speed and sensitivity, while significantly reducing sample matrix effects.
In this study we use high-speed photography as a feedback mechanism for adjusting the Nanodrop instrument dispense settings to improve the positional dispense accuracy of low volume (nanoliter) drops. These same parameters can be investigated, with various fluid classes, to reduce deleterious effects on dispensing performance such as deflected streams, satellite formation, secondary pulses and drop deformation.

One of West Virginia's most iconic and historic stalwarts is going digital.
The West Virginia Blue Book, for the first time since its inception in 1916, is now online.
The navy, hardback book full of essential information about current officials in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of state government along with federal officers and political leaders is in its 92nd edition.
And according to Assistant Senate Clerk Lee Cassis, getting the information online is probably the easiest part.
"Getting all that information compiled and as accurate as possible is a big ordeal," Cassis said. "Getting it online is pretty simple, actually."
The Clerk of the Senate is responsible for publishing the book, but it takes a village. Senate Clerk Joseph M. Minard relies on Cassis, now-retired Senate Clerk Darrell E. Holmes and the Legislative Services' staff, as well as Karl Lilly, who is retired as assistant clerk of the Senate but is senior consultant for the Senate.
Lilly was associate editor of the Blue Book for more than 30 years.
"Everyone involved in putting together this book takes great pride in its publishing, both in print and now online," Minard said.
What's inside
The book lists officers and employees of all state, county and municipal governments, the West Virginia Legislature and courts, the state's congressional delegation, federal agencies in the state and all major institutions.
As if that weren't enough, it includes pictures and the biographies of the officials in the three branches in government, the U.S. president and federal district judges, and in odd-numbered years the state chairmen and officers of the political parties are included, too.
And there's more. The Blue Book includes directories of newspapers and television stations within the state, ZIP codes, place names that aren't in the postal directory, election results, historical data about the counties and municipalities, officers of clubs and organizations and also a section dedicated to departmental, statistical and general information.
The book is used as a reference manual for some and a history book for others. It's free of cost, and language in the state budget each year requires each member of the Legislature receive 75 copies of each Blue Book, each high school and junior high school in the state receive two copies and each elementary school in the state receive one.
"For 92 years, the West Virginia Blue Book has been an essential guide for students and researchers on the latest state government information and statistics," Senate President Jeff Kessler said in a news release. "I am pleased that the same detailed information is now available to everyone through the Legislature's website."
Still in print
Cassis said he had heard the suggestions to go online with the Blue Book for years, but there was a fear that if the information was online, the book wouldn't be printed anymore.
"That's not the case," he said. "Right now, there's still the same amount of books.
"We might in the future take that number down a little bit, but for right now, we have it in both formats."
The book was first called the "West Virginia Legislative Hand Book and Manual and Official Register" until the more common nickname was designated in 1933 by Clerk Charles Lively who hailed from Lewis County.
Cassis said the process of putting the book never ends. The 2012 book just came out, and as soon as an edition goes to the printer, Cassis said the bid process for the next one begins.
"I almost have section one compiled and ready for the printer," Cassis said about the 2013 Sesquicentennial edition that's currently in the works.
He said he tries to put the pieces together to send to the printer in order, but there's not a specific process in place.
Yearlong process
"We all just know what needs to be done, and we get to it," Cassis said. "But Alice Shafer, she's got one of the toughest parts, the municipalities and counties; she's doing that for me as we speak.
"I think there's about 255 municipalities listed in the book. She's in charge of getting all that information, and that's a bear."
Cassis said a lot of staff members help bring the Blue Book together, and it takes a lot of dedication to juggle it with the other regular duties.
The goal for the Sesquicentennial edition is to have it out by the spring of next year, and Cassis said it will have a special cover for the occasion.

A pizza joint in Peoria is seeing success with its think crust recipe.
At lunch, its all-you-can-eat.
Eric Shangraw is at Double-A Pizza Sports Bar and Grill, in this week's You Gotta Eat.
Double-A Pizza is multifaceted. It's a sports bar with good grub. The pizza, with its skinny underside, is the signature item, no matter what you prefer on top.
"I like a lot of veggies. Has a lot of veggies. A lot of meat. Thin crust. Crispy. Just good pizza," said customer Elaine Rients.
"Thin crust. I like little sauce. So I always ask for less sauce. But they got a fantastic lunch buffet, too. Fantastic," said customer Nancy Eckhoff.
You'll see owner Aaron Smith or his wife here most times. One of his jobs is to keep the lunch buffet stocked. Aaron says the freshly prepared ingredients for the menu or buffet and the 19 televisions are just a part of the formula for success.
"More important than any of that is the fact we have great service," said Smith.
"That's the key to Double-A's. I think customer service is something that gets lost in this day and age. And we try to make sure when people come here that the service is extraordinary," he said.
We had the lunch buffet. The salad is crisp. The other stuff fresh. I also opted for a couple Teriyaki chicken wings as a warm-up. Photographer Doug Smith followed the same path. After stretching our jaws on the salad, it was time for a pizza run. There's four or five choices at any one time. Sausage. Pepperoni. Canadian bacon and pineapple. As the customers said, its the thin crust which makes it unique.
On our third trip we picked up some sweet dessert pizza. Doug went for a fourth trip... but we won't go there. No many how many trips, its one price at lunch. Our bill with drink; $9.79 apiece, plus tip.
Double-A should get straight A's from thin crust pizza lovers.
Double A's Pizza Sports Bar and Grill is open seven days a week. The lunch buffet is offered Monday through Friday.

Select Route:
The ice in Big Thompson Canyon is some of the more popular ice in Colorado. The easy approach and very nice moderate climbing make this a good place to learn to climb or lead. There are two, regularly-forming, distinct pitches here with a short but fun step along the approach. In addition, there are more ice climbs that can form in the vicinity of the Beige Siphon Tube and the next 1.5 miles upstream with the right conditions. Definitely can be a fun place, especially for locals. It may not be worth the drive for non-locals.
Getting There
Big Thompson Canyon is along US 34 between Loveland and Estes Park. To reach the ice, look for the handicapped fishing access sign. The ice is fairly high on the hillside on the south side of the canyon near here. Crossing the Big Thompson is the crux in early season before the river is frozen over.

2Britney Didn't Want Jason Trawick Having a Life and That's Why They Broke Up
From People:
"There was no third party involved," says the source of the couple, who began dating in 2009. "Things haven't been ideal in their relationship for some time. There was a lot to work on before they could move forward and get married."
One of those things may have been Trawick's desire to maintain a life outside their relationship.
"Britney had a lot of issues with Jason doing his own thing – in business and seeing his friends," another source says. "In her perfect world he would have been home with her twenty-four/seven, so that was a point of contention; something they were always working on."
Though Spears recently purchased an $8.5 million mansion in L.A.'s Thousand Oaks neighborhood to live in with Trawick and her sons Sean, 7, and Jayden, 6, another source says everything wasn't picture perfect. "They've been spending a lot of time apart in the last few months," says the source.
While the pair's relationship had become "frustrating," according to the close source, they've put up a united front. Spears told PEOPLE exclusively in a statement Friday that she and Trawick are committed to remaining "great friends."
After hearing news of the split, a source who saw the couple and her children in recent weeks says, "They both seemed happy. Especially Britney, I could tell that she was in a really great place. She smiled a lot. They were both really at ease with the boys."
OK, so, understandable. I remember when I was eighteen years old, I lived with a guy that I had a "serious relationship" with (pfft), and one point of contention between the two of us was that hey. It was totally cool for me to hang out with my friends, but he wasn't allowed to. He was supposed to stay in the house and do nothing and that's about it. On the flip side, it was totally cool for him to hang out with this friends, but I wasn't allowed to hang out with mine. I was supposed to stay in the house and do nothing and that's about it. It's, you know, something that immature couples often go through, and while it doesn't make it right (because seriously—LOL), it makes it pretty commonplace. I'm just sorry that Britney—who's thirty-one—and Jason—who's almost forty-one—have to be acting like teenagers who know shit about the world and healthy relationships and independence.
Goodness gracious. You know, it took me just a few months of arguments about stupid crap that revolved around ego and possessiveness to realize that I had some growing up to do, and I did it right quick. As for Britney and Jason? Well. If all this is the case, somebody needs to chill the f-ck out and enjoy life for what it is. There are things of importance beyond basing your entire existence on your significant other out there, you know.

I know it's early, but can we discuss all those speeches from last night (my husband, pretending to be interested, asked after both Costner's and Foster's, "So is he/she retiring?") and also, Jon Hamm's girlfriend's face???
When you're 31 and working on a reality show , various projects, finding time to be with a loved one can be VERY difficult , it's about prioritizing, plus throw in kids to the mix. Responsibilities are a tad different when you're an immature 18 year old, working where??? Lol
Even as I am 30yrs old balancing two jobs, grad school apps and house searching/ buying, we manage but it gets tiring only seeing the s.o. For a couple hours before bed.

SUMMITVILLE, Ind. — Maybe you go for the rides, or maybe it's the corndogs, or perhaps it's even just to visit with friends. At the Summitville Country Fair, organizers hope to bring people together for a good time.
Hosted by the Summitville Main Street Organization, the fourth annual Summitville Country Fair kicks off today with a downtown parade at 6 p.m. Activity booths open at 5:30 p.m.
Coordinator Dee Amos said the organization has seen attendance range from 1,300 to 1,700, and with last year's drought in the past, she feels "pretty good about this year."
"So far we've done pretty good, but we couldn't do it without the support of our sponsors and without the support of the community," she said.
Popular events include hog wrestling, the pet parade and, perhaps what the Summitville Country Fair is most well-known for, truck pulls.
Amos said the ATV, snowmobile, golf cart and even kiddie drags (think the battery powered jeeps kids drive) added last year were also "big hits."
Of course, there will also be rides provided by family owned Funtime Carnival of Cincinnati, Ohio.
And this year the Main Street Organization is adding random prize drawings along with "It's Princess Time," where "the little princesses can come meet the big princess and have story time," Amos said.
Organization member Cathy Blalock said they wanted to "try to involve more kids this year."
"We want to grow every year," she added.
Lions Club members started the Summitville Country Fair, Amos said. When they disbanded 15 years ago, she added, the fair ceased until a small group got together and gave it a try. The Summitville Main Street Organization took it over in 2010.
Amos said the fair costs about $10,000 and that it's only possible through sponsors such as MacAllister Agriculture Division and R&R Engineering Co.

Metro says full service has been restored on the red line following an overnight derailment. Service was restored about 1:35 p.m. Friday. No passengers were on board the train that derailed around midnight Thursday between the Rhode Island Avenue and Brookland stations. No one was injured. Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says the derailed cars were returned to the track Friday morning and taken to different rail yards. Although the cause of the derailment is not known, Stessel says it does not appear to be related to track infrastructure or a specific type of rail car. The cars that derailed were out of service and were being moved from one rail yard to another for maintenance. He says investigators are focusing on the equipment being used to move the cars.

3I Guess Britney Spears Is Going to Be Single Soon
Ugh, poor Britney. It's always something, isn't it? Last month the story was that she and Jason had planned to get married before the end of the year, but they couldn't stop fighting long enough to plan everything out. And now it looks like Jason is definitely leaving Britney, and all that's left to do is tell her.
He's apparently already told Britney's family so that she'll "have a support system when he breaks the bad news." He's also being enough of a sweetheart to wait until this season of X-Factor is over so that she doesn't have to do live television while brokenhearted. Isn't that thoughtful?
Another thing: he still wants to be her manager. And he's already one of her conservators, remember, so this plan may not be good for Britney's heart, but it makes perfect sense for Britney's bank account. Which is, obviously, the most important thing.
I'm not so sure I believe this, but that's basically just because I want nothing but good things for Britney. This dude breaking up with her while he still keeps a firm grasp on her money? Not so good for her.

lol you're acting so surprised. like he ever gave a fuck about her. like anyone in her life actually gives a fuck about her. they all use her as a cash cow, including her sick family. she's clearly miserable. she clearly wants out of show business. she clearly wants to raise her two sons and be left the fuck alone. it almost seems like she sold her soul to the devil with contracts written in blood…
"He's also being enough of a sweetheart to wait until this season of X-Factor is over so that she doesn't have to do live television while brokenhearted. Isn't that thoughtful?"
he's waiting so he can get a cut of the paycheck.
All Britney has to do is find a powerful attorney and get two new executors that the court will trust. Then she can dump her backstabbing "family", take her earnings, and retire with her boys. Jason can go back to whatever it was he was doing before he met her.
