No Welker, Wolfe, Champ, or CJ Anderson tonight. @Broncos vs @chargers— Lionel Bienvenu (@lionelbienvenu) December 12, 2013
The Broncos will be without WR Wes Welker, DE Derek Wolfe, and CB Champ Bailey tonight. Welker suffered a concussion on Sunday, and really had no shot at playing tonight. Derek Wolfe is recovering from an illness still, and Bailey is still coming back from a nagging foot injury.
Look for Tight End Jacob Tamme and WR Andre Caldwell to take over for Welker. Malik Jackson will start for Wolfe, and look for rookie Kayvon Webster to start for Bailey. Ronnie Hillman also gets the nod ahead of rookie C.J Anderson
Here's the rest of the Broncos in-actives for tonights game...

Type 1 Diabetes: An Overview
Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms
Warning symptoms of type 1 diabetes can be mistaken for the flu at first. They can include frequent urination, drinking more than usual, losing weight despite having a healthy appetite, or feeling tired all the time.
Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis
To make an accurate diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, doctors use one or more tests to measure the levels of sugar in the blood and determine what type of diabetes is present. Some of these tests are also able to diagnose prediabetes, when blood sugar is elevated but has not become full-blown diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes Treatment
Because the normal production of insulin is disrupted in type 1 diabetes, people with this disorder must take manufactured insulin every day to keep blood sugar levels regulated. There are different types of insulin that work at different speeds, and your particular insulin regimen will probably change throughout your life.
Living With Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetes is a lifelong disease and requires careful management. Keeping to your treatment regimen and and keeping a close eye on blood sugar levels can help people with type 1 diabetes live long, healthy lives.
Caregiving for Type 1 Diabetes
Because type 1 diabetes is usually first diagnosed at a young age, parents must shoulder the responsibility for proper diabetes care. Elderly people with type 1 diabetes may also need special attention from caregivers.
Type 1 Diabetes Complications
Common complications of type 1 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve damage. But many of these can be avoided by knowing the risks and dangers and sticking to your treatment plan.
Type 1 Diabetes Related Conditions
Living with type 1 diabetes comes with some unique emotional and physical challenges. People with this condition are more likely to experience depression and stress, as well as issues with sexual functioning.

A Saudi Arabian accused of associating with several of the September 11 hijackers and who disappeared from his home in the United States a few weeks before the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, is in London working for his country's state oil company.
By Anthony Summers, Neil Tweedie and Dan Christensen in Miami
The Telegraph
Abdulaziz al-Hijji and his wife Anoud left three cars at their luxurious home in a gated community in Sarasota, Florida — one of them new — and flew to Saudi Arabia in August 2001. The refrigerator was full of food; furniture and clothing were left behind; and the swimming pool water was still circulating.
Security records of cars passing through a checkpoint at the Prestancia gated community indicated that Mr al-Hijji's home, 4224 Escondito Circle, had been visited a number of times by Mohamed Atta, the leader of the 19-strong hijack team, who piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre in 2001.
The logs also indicated that Marwan Al-Shehhi, who crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower, and Ziad Jarrah, who was at the controls of United Airlines Flight 93 when it crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, had visited the house.
All three men had trained to fly at Venice Airport, which is 19 miles from Sarasota.
A US counter-terrorist agent told The Daily Telegraph: "The registration numbers of vehicles that had passed through the Prestancia community's north gate in the months before 9/11, coupled with the identification documents shown by incoming drivers on request, showed that Mohamed Atta and several of his fellow hijackers, and another Saudi suspect still at large, had visited 4224 Escondito Circle."
The suspect was Adnan Shukrijumah, an al-Qaeda operative who is on the FBI's Most Wanted list, with a $5 million bounty on his head.A decade after the world's worst terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of 3,000 people, Mr al-Hijji is resident in London, working for the European subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia's state oil company.…Continue reading

Fake terror plots, paid informants: the tactics of FBI 'entrapment' questioned
Critics say bureau is running a sting operation across America, targeting vulnerable people by luring them into fake terror plots
David Williams did not have an easy life. He moved to Newburgh, a gritty, impoverished town on the banks of the Hudson an hour or so north of New York, at just 10 years old. For a young, black American boy with a father in jail, trouble was everywhere.
Williams also made bad choices. He ended up going to jail for dealing drugs. When he came out in 2007 he tried to go straight, but money was tight and his brother, Lord, needed cash for a liver transplant. Life is hard in Newburgh if you are poor, have a drug rap and need cash quickly.
His aunt, Alicia McWilliams, was honest about the tough streets her nephew was dealing with. "Newburgh is a hard place," she said. So it was perhaps no surprise that in May, 2009, David Williams was arrested again and hit with a 25-year jail sentence. But it was not for drugs offences. Or any other common crime. Instead Williams and three other struggling local men beset by drug, criminal and mental health issues were convicted of an Islamic terrorist plot to blow up Jewish synagogues and shoot down… Continue reading

Today, November 17th, over 30,000 New Yorkers took to the streets to resist austerity, rebuild our economy, and reclaim our democracy. It was our largest action to date.
Our will was only emboldened by Mayor Bloomberg's heavy-handed attempt to eradicate Occupy Wall Street; our brutal eviction from our homes at Liberty Square has strengthened both our resolve and our legitimacy. Together, we raised our voices to declare: "No to evictions! No to the 1% that profits from our collective impoverishment." We showed the world we are not a fringe group of naive idealists–we are truly a people's uprising embodying the revolutionary spirit of economic justice, mutual aid, and participatory, consensus-based democracy. We are the 99%.
And the world responded.
Protestors across the United States occupied our most tangible symbols of oligarchic neglect: bridges–essential public infrastructure the 1% has blithely let decay:
Los Angeles, CA: protestors peacefully shut down a bridge into the financial district. 16 were arrested.
Portland, OR: the Steel Bridge was occupied.
Detroit, MI: in one of the cities hardest hit by foreclosures and evictions, 1000s marched across the 2nd Ave Bridge.
Washington, DC: protestors demonstrated in support of increased infrastructure projects on the Key Bridge.
Philadelphia, PA: 1500 people marched on the Market St Bridge where at least 25 people were arrested during a nonviolent sit-in.
Miami, FL: over 2,000 people gathered under the overpass at Jose Marti Park.
Hartford, CT: 200 people blocked the entrance ramp to 1-84, with 10 arrests.

The story of Jose Padilla, continuing through the events of yesterday, expresses so much of the true nature of the War on Terror and especially America's justice system. In 2002, the American citizen was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, publicly labeled by John Ashcroft as The Dirty Bomber, and then imprisoned for the next three years on U.S. soil as an "enemy combatant" without charges of any kind, and denied all contact with the outside world, including even a lawyer. During his lawless incarceration, he was kept not just in extreme solitary confinement but extreme sensory deprivation as well, and was abused and tortured to the point of severe and probably permanent mental incapacity. (Bush lawyers told a court that they were unable to produce videos of Padilla's interrogations because those videos were mysteriously and tragically "lost").
Needless to say, none of the government officials responsible for this abuse of a U.S. citizen on American soil has been held accountable in any way. That's because President Obama decreed that Bush officials shall not be criminally investigated for War on Terror crimes, while his Justice Department vigorously defended John Yoo, Donald Rumsfeld and other responsible functionaries in civil suits brought by Padilla seeking damages for what was done to him.
As usual, the Obama DOJ cited national security imperatives and sweeping theories of presidential power to demand that Executive Branch officials be fully shielded from judicial scrutiny (i.e., shielded from the … Continue reading

The former co-chair of a Congressional inquiry after the September 11, 2001
attacks called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation following
a news report linking the hijackers to a Saudi Arabian couple who lived in Florida.
Former U.S. Senator Bob Graham said he has no reason to doubt the news report,
which said the Saudi Arabian couple abruptly abandoned their luxury home in
Sarasota two weeks before the attacks, leaving behind a full refrigerator, clothes,
furnishings and a new car in the driveway.
The report was published by BrowardBulldog.org., a nonprofit Internet news
site and was simultaneously published on the news website of the Miami Herald.
If true, it reveals another Saudi terrorism connection that was never disclosed
by the FBI to the public or to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee
investigating the attacks, said Graham, who was co-chair of the committee.
The FBI office in Tampa issued a statement on Monday saying the Sarasota case
was one of many leads that "were resolved and determined not to be related
to any threat nor connected to the 9/11 plot."
Graham called the Sarasota case "eerily similar" to the FBI's failure
to tell the intelligence committee about a former Saudi civil servant, Omar
al-Bayoumi, who supported two hijackers while they were living in San Diego.
Graham said an investigator for his committee independently unearthed the information
about al-Bayoumi.
"Why did the U.S. government go to such lengths to cover up the Saudi
involvement?" Graham said.…

On Sunday April 24, 2011 WikiLeaks began publishing 779 secret files from the
notorious Guantánamo Bay prison camp. The details for every detainee will be
released daily over the coming month.
WikiLeaks Reveals Secret Files on All Guantánamo Prisoners
PLEASE NOTE: This article has been published in languages other than English
at WikiLeaks, linked here.
In its latest release of classified US documents, WikiLeaks is shining the
light of truth on a notorious icon of the Bush administration's "War on
Terror" — the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which opened on January
11, 2002, and remains open under President Obama, despite his promise to close
the much-criticized facility within a year of taking office.
In thousands of pages of documents dating from 2002 to 2008 and never seen
before by members of the public or the media, the cases of the majority of the
prisoners held at Guantánamo — 758 out of 779 in total — are described
in detail in memoranda from JTF-GTMO, the Joint Task Force at Guantánamo
Bay, to US Southern Command in Miami, Florida.
These memoranda, which contain JTF-GTMO's recommendations about whether the
prisoners in question should continue to be held, or should be released (transferred
to their home governments, or to other governments) contain a wealth of important
and previously undisclosed information, including health assessments, for example,
and, in the cases of the majority of the 171 prisoners who are still held, photos

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama lifted a two-year freeze on new
military trials at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba and suggested on Monday Congress was
hurting national security by blocking his attempts to move some trials into
U.S. civilian courts.
In an apparent acknowledgment that the Guantánamo detention camp won't be shut
down any time soon, Obama also outlined procedures for reviews to be held at
least every four years for prisoners held indefinitely without charge or trial.
Obama suspended new trials at the Guantánamo tribunals, which had been heavily
criticized as unfair, when he announced his review of detainee policy in early
2009 and vowed just after becoming president that he would close the camp.
Administration officials said Obama still wants to close the prison, which
they have called a recruiting tool for anti-American militants, but gave no
Obama had tried, and failed, to overcome objections by Republicans and some
of his fellow Democrats in Congress to transferring some detainees to U.S. prisons
and trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the September 11 attacks, and
others in federal courts.

Having read a few of Peter Dale Scott's earlier books, I was looking forward to his new work, American War Machine. I was not disappointed. Published by Roman & Littlefield in late 2010, this book examines a wide-ranging number of covert US operations since World War II, and, among other things, demonstrates that many of these operations were intimately connected with, and dependent on, illicit drug trafficking. Although my background and experience do not qualify me to write an authoritative review of this important book, I hope that my impressions will compel others to read it.
Scott previously defined concepts such as deep events, deep politics and the deep state, to refer to covert mechanisms that facilitate the strategies of the politically minded rich, a group otherwise referred to as the overworld. Deep events, which Scott defines as those which are "systematically ignored or falsified in the mainstream media and public consciousness," can be seen as sharing certain features, such as cover-up of evidence and irresoluble controversy over what happened. These features contribute to a suppressed memory of the event among the general public. Deep events are often associated with illegally sanctioned violence, and involve little known, but historically evident, cooperation between leaders of the state and organized crime.
In American War Machine, Scott sets out to write the first "deep history" of such events, politics and state entities. As he writes: "In my experience, deep… Continue reading

The Daily Beast – Blogs & Stories
Anxious that Wikileaks may be on the verge of publishing a batch of secret State Department cables, investigators are desperately searching for founder Julian Assange. Philip Shenon reports. Plus, Daniel Ellsberg tells The Daily Beast: "Assange is in Some Danger."
(This story has been updated to reflect new developments on Assange's whereabouts, including the cancelation of a scheduled appearance in Las Vegas.)
Pentagon investigators are trying to determine the whereabouts of the Australian-born founder of the secretive website Wikileaks for fear that he may be about to publish a huge cache of classified State Department cables that, if made public, could do serious damage to national security, government officials tell The Daily Beast.
The officials acknowledge that even if they found the website founder, Julian Assange, it is not clear what they could do to block publication of the cables on Wikileaks, which is nominally based on a server in Sweden and bills itself as a champion of whistleblowers.
"We'd like to know where he is; we'd like his cooperation in this," one U.S. official said of Assange.
American officials said Pentagon investigators are convinced that Assange is in possession of at least some classified State Department cables leaked by a 22-year-old Army intelligence specialist, Bradley Manning of Potomac, Maryland, who is now in custody in Kuwait.
And given the contents of the cables, the feds have good reason to be concerned.

In July 1987, during the Iran-Contra Hearings grilling of Oliver North, the American public got a glimpse of "highly sensitive" emergency planning North had been involved in. Ostensibly these were emergency plans to suspend the American constitution in the event of a nuclear attack (a legitimate concern). But press accounts alleged that the planning was for a more generalized suspension of the constitution.
As part of its routine Iran-contra coverage, the following exchange was printed in the New York Times , but without journalistic comment or follow-up:
[Congressman Jack] Brooks: Colonel North, in your work at the N.S.C. were you not assigned, at one time, to work on plans for the continuity of government in the event of a major disaster?
Both North's attorney and Sen. Daniel Inouye, the Democratic Chair of the Committee, responded in a way that showed they were aware of the issue:
Brendan Sullivan [North's counsel, agitatedly]: Mr. Chairman?
[Senator Daniel] Inouye: I believe that question touches upon a highly sensitive and classified area so may I request that you not touch upon that?
Brooks: I was particularly concerned, Mr. Chairman, because I read in Miami papers, and several others, that there had been a plan developed, by that same agency, a contingency plan in the event of emergency, that would suspend the American… Continue reading

The Washington Times is a newspaper that looks with favor upon the Bush/Cheney/Obama/neocon wars of aggression in the Middle East and favors making terrorists pay for 9/11. Therefore, I was surprised to learn on February 24 that the most popular story on the paper's website for the past three days was the "Inside the Beltway" report, "Explosive News," about the 31 press conferences in cities in the US and abroad on February 19 held by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, an organization of professionals which now has 1,000 members.
I was even more surprised that the news report treated the press conference seriously. How did three World Trade Center skyscrapers suddenly disintegrate into fine dust? How did massive steel beams in three skyscrapers suddenly fail as a result of short-lived, isolated, and low temperature fires? "A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7," reports the Washington Times.
The paper reports that the architects and engineers have concluded that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Institute of Standards and Technology provided "insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction" and are "calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials."
The newspaper reports that Richard Gage, the spokesperson for the architects and engineers said: "Government officials will be notified that "Misprision of Treason,' U.S. Code… Continue reading

Raw Story
As noted below, a Giuliani spokesman "clarified" the mayor's statement later in the day, arguing that the mayor meant no attacks after 9/11.
"Whatever the mayor meant, it's not what he said," Stephanopoulos wrote on his ABC blog. "All of you who have pointed out that I should have pressed him on that misstatement in the moment are right. My mistake, my responsibility."
Original story follows below
The former New York City mayor who has sometimes been mocked for using "a noun, a verb and 9/11″ in stump speeches appears to have forgotten — or has mentally reclassified — the worst terrorist attack on American soil. "We had no domestic attacks under Bush," Rudy Giuliani told ABC's George Stephanopoulos Friday.
Even if Giuliani doesn't consider the attacks on 9/11 a "domestic" attack then surely he forgot about the anthrax attacks of 2001 or an Egyptian national who attacked the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport in 2002.
While ABC's George Stephanopolous let Giuliani get away with his misstatement both during the interview and on his blog, ABC's Jake Tapper called the former mayor out.…Continue reading

The US military conducted a training exercise in the five days before the September 11 attacks that included simulated aircraft hijackings by terrorists, according to a 9/11 Commission document recently found in the US National Archives. In one of the scenarios, implemented on September 9, terrorists hijacked a London to New York flight, planning to blow it up with explosives over New York.
The undated document, entitled "NORAD EXERCISES Hijack Summary," was part of a series of 9/11 Commission records moved to the National Archives at the start of the year. It was found there, and posted to the History Commons site at Scribd, by History Commons contributor paxvector, in the files of the commission's Team 8, which focused on the failed emergency response on the day of the attacks. The summary appears to have been drafted by one of the commission's staffers, possibly Miles Kara, based on documents submitted by NORAD.
An excerpt from page 4 of the NORAD EXERCISES document.
In the September 9 scenario, the fictitious terrorists' goal seems to have been to kill New Yorkers with the rain of debris following the plane's explosion. However, in the exercise, the military intercepted the plane and forced it away from the city. When the terrorists realized they were not near New York, they blew the plane up "over land near the divert location," leaving no survivors. The military unit most involved in this scenario was NORAD's Northeast Air Defense… Continue reading

MIAMI – U.S. prosecutors want a Miami judge to sentence the son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor to 147 years in prison for torturing people when he was chief of a brutal paramilitary unit during his father's reign.
Charles McArthur Emmanuel, also known as Charles "Chuckie" Taylor Jr., is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 9 by U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga. His conviction was the first use of a 1994 law allowing prosecution in the U.S. for acts of torture committed overseas.
A recent Justice Department court filing describes torture — which the U.S. has been accused of in the war on terror — as a "flagrant and pernicious abuse of power and authority" that warrants severe punishment of Taylor.
"It undermines respect for and trust in authority, government and a rule of law," wrote Assistant U.S. Attorney Caroline Heck Miller in last week's filing. "The gravity of the offense of torture is beyond dispute."

The US government
does not have a monopoly on hypocrisy, but no other government can match the
hypocrisy of the US government.
It is now well documented and known all over the world that the US government
tortured detainees at Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo and that the US government has
had people kidnaped and "rendentioned," that is, transported to
third world countries, such as Egypt, to be tortured.
Also documented and well known is the fact that the US Department of Justice
provided written memos justifying the torture of detainees. One torture advocate
who wrote the DOJ memos that gave the green light to the Bush regime's
use of torture is John Yoo, a Vietnamese immigrant who somehow secured a US
Justice Department appointment and a tenured professorship at the University
of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law. John Yoo is the best case
against immigration that I know.
Members of Berkeley's city council believe that Yoo should be charged
with war crimes. The US government has charged lesser offenders than Yoo with
war crimes. Yoo helped the DOJ achieve the Bush regime's goal of finding
a way around the torture prohibitions of both US statutory law and the Geneva
The way around the law that Yoo provided for the sadistic Bush regime was closed
down by the US Supreme Court, which voided Yoo's arguments, and Yoo's
torture memo was rescinded by the Department of Justice. Nevertheless, Yoo's

In violation of its pledge to the United Nations not to recruit children into
the military, the Pentagon "regularly target(s) children under 17,"
the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) says.
The Pentagon "heavily recruits on high school campuses, targeting students
for recruitment as early as possible and generally without limits on the age
of students they contact," the ACLU states in a 46-page report titled
"Soldiers of Misfortune."
This is in violation of the U.S. Senate's 2002 ratification of the Optional
Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Pentagon recruiters are enrolling children as young as 14 in the Junior Reserve
Officer Training Corps(JROTC) in 3,000 middle-, junior-, and high schools nationwide,
causing about 45 percent of the quarter of million students so enrolled to enlist,
a rate much higher than in the general student population. Clearly, this is
the outcome of underage exposure.
In some cities, such as Los Angeles, high school administrators have been enrolling
reluctant students involuntarily in JROTC as an alternative to overcrowded gym
classes! In Lincoln high school, enrollees were not told JROTC was involuntary.

For over two years now I have been speaking and writing about what I call deep events. I mean by deep events the traumatic and unexpected episodes that recur periodically in US history and alter it, nearly always for the worse. These deep events can never be properly analyzed or understood, because of an intelligence dimension which results in a socially imposed veil of silence, both in the government and in the Mainstream Media.
The more that I look at these deep events comparatively, ranging over the past five decades, the more similarities I see between them, and the more I understand them in the light of each other. I hope in this paper to use analogies from the murder of JFK and 9/11 to cast new light on the murders of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy.1
I began this analysis in 2006 by comparing the JFK assassination with 9/11. I drew attention to over a dozen similarities, of which today I will be focusing on only four:
1) the remarkable and puzzling speed with which those in power identified what I call the designated culprits (Lee Harvey Oswald and the 19 alleged hijackers),
2) the self-incriminating trail allegedly left by the culprits themselves — such as the bundle that James Earl Ray is said to have conveniently left in a doorway on his way to his car. Oswald was said to have carried a flagrantly falsified draft card identifying… Continue reading

Docklands Real Estate & Suburb Information
Located west of the CBD, Docklands is a relatively new suburb of inner city Melbourne. It is bounded by Spencer Street, Wurundjeri Way and Charles Grimes Bridge to the east, CityLink to the west and Lorimer Street across the Yarra to the south.
Urban renewal began in earnest from 2000, and the Docklands now consists of a number of high rise apartment buildings with its population consisting mainly of young adults, with over half the population aged 18-34 years. Docklands does still retain a handful of significant heritage buildings, mostly related to the area's industrial and maritime history.
Primarily a waterfront area centred on the banks of the Yarra River, the Docklands main features include the Bolte Bridge, Etihad Stadium and Southern Cross Station. As well as housing some of Melbourne's newest and most trendy bars and restaurants, the Docklands has also become a sought-after business address, where the national headquarters of several large companies such as Myer, ANZ, National Australia Bank, and National Foods are located. The transport facilities and
proximity to the city combined with large, low-rise campus style office buildings are thought to be the major drawcards for such businesses.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jan. 7, 2010
Emergency cold weather warning issued to pet owners
The City of Kansas City, Mo.; Spay & Neuter Kansas City and Wayside Waifs have issued an extreme cold weather warning to all pet owners.
This warning is a reminder that pet owners are required to provide adequate shelter and warmth for their pets during the arctic blast that has gripped the area. If animals are found outside without adequate shelter from the elements, owners will be cited for animal cruelty. This offense carries a minimum fine of $250 and a maximum fine of $500 with 180 days in jail. If a pet owner cannot immediately bring an animal inside or take the animal to a place of safety, the animal will be impounded.
Spay & Neuter Kansas City has dog houses and hay available for those in need. Interested pet owners should call (816) 353-0940 for more information about this program. "Spay & Neuter Kansas City has several dog houses available to help protect pets in this weather," said Michelle Dormady, president of Spay & Neuter Kansas City.
If pet owners are in need of emergency shelter for their animals, they are encouraged to call Wayside Waifs, Kansas City's largest animal shelter. Wayside Waifs will provide temporary, emergency housing for pets at no cost to the owners beginning Thursday, Jan. 8.
"The brutal cold can be deadly for pets, and we don't want any pet to needlessly suffer outside in these unbearable conditions," said Patti Glass, president of Wayside Waifs. "Pet owners that have no other option can bring their pets to us, and know that they will be warm and well cared for until we get a break from the extreme cold," Glass said.
Pet owners in need of emergency shelter for their animals should call Wayside Waifs at (816) 761-8151.
"There is no reason animals should be suffering during this extreme cold when options like this exist," said Mike Schumacher, assistant to the director, City of Kansas City, Mo., Neighborhood and Community Services Department. "I encourage Kansas City residents to report any animals that are outside without adequate shelter to the City's 3-1-1 Action Center, so that the situation can be addressed. Pet owners who leave their pets outside without adequate shelter in weather like this must be dealt with immediately," Schumacher said.
Residents can contact the 3-1-1 Action Center, a division of the City Manager's Office, at 311 or (816) 513-1313. Regular business hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Information also can be submitted to the 3-1-1 Action Center online at http://www.kcmo.org.
Wayside Waifs and Spay & Neuter Kansas City offer the following cold weather tips for pet owners:
Winterize dog houses
1. Dog house floors should be raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw.
2. Insulation, such as straw or blankets will help keep in body heat. If animals have a tendency to chew, blankets or materials that can be ingested should not be used.
3. Dog houses should be turned to face away from the wind, and doorways should be covered with flaps of heavy waterproof fabric or heavy plastic.
More cold weather advice
1. Keep pets inside. Limitpets' outsidetime for bathroom breaks during extreme cold temperatures. If it is too coldoutside for pet owners, it is too cold forpets also.If pets are normally kept outside, move them to sheltered garages or heated dog houses, away from the wind.
2. Outdoor cats may seek refuge from the cold underneath the hoods of cars. When the car is started, the cat could become injured or even killed by moving parts of the engine.Owners of outdoor cats should honk car horns before starting their cars so cats can escape.
3. Keep dogs on leashes in the winter weather. Pets can lose their scent in the snow and ice and find refuge in unfamiliar places.This also is a good opportunity for owners to checkdogs' and cats' identification tags to make sure the tags have their owners current contact information in case pets become lost or stolen.Microchipping of pets also is recommended.More dogs are lostduring the winter than any other time of the year.
4. Whengetting pets groomed, don't have them shaved down to the skin. Longercoats provide more warmth. Be sure to completely dry dogs after bathing before taking them outfor walks.Put short-haired breeds in warm sweaters with high collars that provide coverage from the base of their tails to their bellies.
5. Keep dry towels near the door when bringing dogs in from the outdoors. Thoroughly dry their paws,legs and bellies.Animals canpick upbits of salt, antifreeze and other lethal chemicals from being outside. It also can be painful for animals to have shards of ice in their fur.Dogs' paws can actually bleed from encrusted ice.This also is a good opportunity to give dogs some extra love and praise for good outdoor behavior.
6. Never leave pets alone in vehicles. Vehicles can act as refrigerators, keeping the cold inside and causing pets to freeze to death.
7. Increase food supplies for pets that spend lots of time playing outside. Include extra protein to help keep pets' fur in great shape.
8. Coolant and antifreeze are lethal for cats and dogs.Thoroughly clean any spills in garages and driveways.Avoid products containing ethylene glycol.If a pet should ingest any of these products, contact a veterinarian immediately.
9. Rock salt is also dangerous for pets and can burn their paws.Instead, use pet-safe ice melt.
10. Give pets warm places to sleep.Make sure beds are located away from doors and drafts, and provide warm blankets or large pillows.
Media inquiries about this issue should be directed to Mike Schumacher, assistant to the director, Neighborhood and Community Services Department, (816) 513-9075.

In a wide-ranging interview, DeAngelo Casto sheds some light on his though processes leading up to the NBA Draft while reflecting on his time at WSU. Most notable? How hurt he was by Tony Bennett's...
We help our readers out and remind them that we once had a coach who shared their pain.

A look at WSU Cougar basketball's identity crisis since Bennett Ball left Pullman.
On the one-year [edit: -and-one-day] anniversary of you-know-what, I think it's only fitting to drag this out of the archives. Reading it again, I can't say I feel much different. I wish Tony success, but I'll never be fooled again, that's for sure. Yay, cynicism!
It takes a special kind of column to receive the Fire Joe Morgan treatment from yours truly. This, my friends, is that kind of column. I have no idea where it came from, as I've always been a fan...
CougCenter provides some thoughts on Tony Bennett's first news conference at Virginia.
It starts at 10 a.m. PDT -- about 5 minutes from now. There's a link to the video on the main page. I really don't want to watch this, but I feel like I have to, and many of you probably do, too. Kinda like going to a funeral -- part of the healing process. Consider this an open thread to talk about the press conference. This is, without a doubt, the final time we'll feature Bennett on this front page for a very, very long time.
1. Tony Bennett is not the man we thought he was. I'm stunned that a man I had so much respect for could turn from hero to villain in 24 hours. But that's what happened with Tony Bennett - telling...

CONCORD — New Hampshire took a step yesterday toward joining Massachusetts among states offering keno.
House Bill 520, establishing a legislative study, received approval as expected on a voice vote in the House.
"I'm very pleased," said Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, the bill's prime sponsor. "This is an opportunity to do a study and put a proposal forward next year."
Baldasaro said keno could bring in $50 million to $60 million a year for education in New Hampshire.
The bill calls for a special legislative panel to issue a report by Nov. 1 on whether to establish keno and how to do it. It now moves to the Senate.
The Lottery Commission supports doing a keno study.
Keno, a game of chance, lets players pick a series of numbers and match them against computer-generated "winning" numbers.
In Massachusetts, players bet throughout the day. They select one to 12 numbers, while the computer picks 20 different numbers between one and 80.
"Players are eating and drinking in restaurants and gassing up across the border," Baldasaro said. "A lot of money is being lost to Massachusetts."
While Baldasaro wants New Hampshire to permit keno, he is opposed to the Massachusetts system that lets players bet at neighborhood stores. He would limit keno in the Granite State to restaurants, bars and veterans clubs.
The House Ways and Means Committee recommended a study on a 17-1 vote. Baldasaro had drafted an amendment, which didn't go before the full House, that would have authorized the state to establish keno without a study.
The committee concluded the state should first study the issue.
"Keno is a form of gambling which is quite different from the lottery, charitable gambling and casino gambling," Rep. David Hess, R-Hooksett, told the House in a written report on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee.
"It has not been independently analyzed and studied by any state committee or commission in recent history, if at all," Hess said.
Baldasaro's bill provides for a five-member legislative study committee, three appointed by the House speaker and two by the president of the Senate.

The color is dark amber with a small off white head. There is a nice sweet smell with a light hop aroma. The taste is good, the hops balance the malt nicely. The mouthfeel is a little thin, and the carbonation is very light so it has a watery feel to it. It is very easy to drink.

Pours a medium abber with not much head to it very light and fades quickly,the aroma seems more on the malty side lightly fruity and some caramel/nut tones.A nice mix here,more of a malt tilted brew wich is somewhat sprising coming from Rogue,nice biscuit malt flavor with some light sweetness finishing with some piney-like hop flavors.One of my favorite ones from Rogue wich sometimes overhop their brews in my opinion.

Appearance Nice, darkish-orange in color with a good head.
Smell Theres a sweet caramel maltiness to this one. I can pick up some balancing, complex hops as well.
Taste The hoppy bitterness comes on more distinct in the taste. The caramel malt is there as well, creating a nice balance.
Mouthfeel A hint of carbonation adds interest to this smooth, creamy bitter. This felt good in the mouth.
Drinkability This is a good standard for a bitter. Well done.

Wow. This is a tremendously drinkable beer. The bitterness is nto in the finish as expected. It I ever present, applying itself with vitality and strength to every moment of every sip. I am very impressed with that as well.
In general, I would say that this is a rather mild bitter but it is oh so enjoyable. The nose is loaded with neat caramel malt character and rose petal floral notes. The taste is rich and malty, the carbonation is strong and defining, and the appearance is close to dead on. The head is chunky and extremely sticky. It appears to contain a decent mount of sediment though no sediment is apparent in the rest of the brew.
mmm sessionable indeed and at a great price, at least in my area. Sweet, fruity underbelly plus a perfect all around mild bitterness makes this one hell of a session beer.
Im please and will make frequent return visits to this one.

This was a beer that has high expectations but fell just a little short. It poured a dark orange color with about an inch of white foam that left patches of sticky lace down the glass. The smell of this beer was quite lite, with a very sweet malty scent and slight scents of orange. The taste was a little weird with a thick malt hit in the beginning that threw me off and reminded me of Marsala wine, a decent breadiness in the middle and a slightly bitter hop finnish. The mouthfeel was good but the taste was just a little off to me. Try it for yourself.

3.85/5 rDev -2.5%
Appearance: Rocky head recedes to a tiny thin ring that leaves minimal lace. Nice dark amber color with a bit of an orange tint.
Smell: I don't get much from this one. There's maybe a little biscuity malt there.
Taste: More malt than hops, although the hops do make their presence known from the beginning and become more pronounced as the beer warms.
Mouthfeel: Seems a little thin.
Drinkability: Goes down nice, no complaints here.
I really like this beer. It's much more balanced than the Brutal Bitter (which is good in it's own way). I usually don't eat when I'm drinking craft beer, but next time I may pair this one with a pizza. Overall, a very good brew.

A very solid-all-around beer. The only disparaging thing I could really say is that the mouthfeel is a bit watery. Just a little thicker would do it. Very attractive head and a bright amber color. Nice to look at. Also very flavorful - tastes great. I could drink quite a few of these. High marks all around.

4.38/5 rDev +10.9%
Presentation: 12oz brown bottle. No freshness date.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy amber/orange beer with very little head or retention ... a thin translucent, tight whisp floats on the beer that eventually goes still -- no head at all. Unfiltered offering, and there's sediment in the bottle.
Smell: Oh yeah. Malty. Lots of rich, caramel, fruity malt character in the nose, backed by a pleasant floral and citrus hop aroma. Wonderfuly inviting.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Fizzy carbonation, medium-bodied. Sharp hop sting in the start with a snappy citric bitterness, bit of "cheesey" hop flavour, too. Very bitter overall, astringent and assertive. Defining.
Malt character builds a foundation under the bitterness, providing sublte balance while still allowing the style to play through. Malt also provides a smooth body that pushes back on the coarse hops, keeping the palate in check. Sweet and fruity underneath with caramel and toasted malt flavours. Finish is leafy with residual hop flavours and a drying palate.
Notes & Drinkability: A bit disappointed with the head, but other than that this is an outstanding bitter and a no brainer as a session beer; flavourful and easy to drink. Spot on for the style. Lovely stuff here ...

12 oz bottle pours a copper color with a one finger head with moderate retention. Aroma is floral hops and complex malts. Taste is like a hopped brown ale. Chocolately and burnt malts meld with a hoppy floral presence. Nice bitterness level. Mouthfeel is fine. One 12oz serving was enough for me. I had to keep reminding myself to drink it because it just didn't call my name for some reason.

Presentation: 12 oz brown long neck bottle with no freshness date, info about the beer or brewery. Thin layer of sediment stays intact during pouring.
Appearance: Good foaming action, attractive Brussels Lace is unwavering. Rustic tawny colour with a slight chill hazed that fades as the brew warms up a bit.
Smell: Deep sweet maltiness that is more caramel than toasted in the aroma. Hints of fruitiness from the yeast and well as a mild yeast note permeate from the liquid.
Taste: Medium bodied with lush crispness. Rich and fruity with a heavy hand of hops to counter the spread of malt sweetness over the palate. Fresh bursts of toasted and caramel malt come in several layers and give off a cake like maltiness. Hops range from woody to brisk citrus to slightly sharp bitterness and have no problem balancing the malt out. Faint fruity esters form middle to end with a flare of yeast and a lasting toasted grainy flavour.
Notes: Keep them coming, this one does me just fine. I could happily sip this brew all day long.

Pours a hazy orange with minimal white head and splotches of lacing. Not much on the nose, other than a hint of pine and sour citrus. Mouthfeel is light to medium-light bodied, dry and bitter, and ample carbonation. Taste has caramel malt, pine, and grapefruit, but is bitter overall. Very dry finish is clean and refreshing. Nice American example of the English style.

Rogue bomber, $6.99 at DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY. Pours typical darker almond amber, khaki head, that goes all tiny bubbly, and leaves a mess of fine fine lace and a nice shimmering and lightly frothy film. Orange peel, and lighly musty nose. Well hopped Biter, nice malty under coating, thoroughly tasty and enjoyable Rogue brew. Pac NW all the way, with the healthy hop attack shining through. Softly citric and quite appealing. Clearly quality, nicely done.

Presentation: 12oz amber bottle. No freshness dating.
Appearance: Poured a slightly hazy honey color. Minimal head formation. Sparse lacing of the glass.
Smell: Interesting mixture of citrus hops and a slight sweetness.
Taste: Ver nice. Not as "bitter" as I expected. The is only a token level of sweetness in this beer, but the hops weren't as overpowering as I anticipated.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Very crisp and dry finish.
Drinkability: I would think a hot, humid Virginia summer day would be a perfect match for this beer. A semi-persistent bittering aftertaste. Clean and refreshing. Well done.

Pours clear amber with a minimal white head. Aroma is full of peppry hops, caramel malt, rosemary, and the normal Rogue yeast sweetness. Taste is spicy hops with some citrus anda sweet caramel malt backing. A bit bitter in the finish. Kind of thin. Not your normal bitter, but definitely another great beer from Rogue.

Mirky,deep reddish,orange glows in the light, 1" off white head,very thick and creamy,good retention with spotty clumps of lace.Very interesting looking color to this beer.
A complex malty nose with lots of sweet carmell,burnt aromas,nutty/chocolaty.Woody,fruity,a slight hint of butterscotch,lots of earthiness,the malty aromas remind me of Ovaltine. A very good aroma to this beer.
Lots of English flare to the beer,a very malty taste sweet carmell/toffee, chocolately and nutty. Grassy,with a slight hint of citrus,a pleasing tart,bitter taste. A dry,crisp,mouthwatering finish.
Very creamy,a nice bit of cloyingness,a bit grainy,overall a very nice mouthfeel. The pleasing mouthfeel makes for a great drinkability. 22oz. went down very easy and could easily drink another.

It is great to see this in 6 packs. Hazy orange copper with puffy, appealing head and lace. Dead-on aroma with luscious British mustiness and caramel. Much hoppier than a British bitter would be, but fortunately not too tart and one of the easiest beers to drink on the face of the planet. This beer has it all; a robust, sweet malt quality that is salty, chewy and sugary all in one. A huge hop presence that does not overwhelm the beer (only Dogfish IPAs are such hoppy beers that are simultaneously restrained). A tantalizing yeastiness that makes you praise God for bringing back small, unfiltered microbrews. All around great. I am very jealous of our fellow beerdrinkers at the Horse Brass Pub in Portland, OR, who get to enjoy this from a cask every day of the week.

Orange copper color, with a short, light brown head full of big frothy bubbles. The head disappeared quickly. Strong hop aroma and pungent hop flavor, but very balanced and not overpowering. Slight malt nuance. Bitter aftertaste that lingers after each swallow. Not much else comes through in the flavor, but this is the closest I've had to a true classic English style bitter.

More Rogue in Minnesota, and this one's a winner...this may qualify as a Bitter here, but this seems more an ESB than the monster Brutal Bitter...
Spot-on accurate dark orange-copper color, clear appearance with a multi-bubble size skim yellow head that laces in spots. Slightly cinnamony biscuit aroma with a prickly hop lingering in the air. Very pleasant but sharpish shortbread malt flavor upfront, tea-like body, and tastes of spice and orange with an impressively balanced peppery hop finish. Bit of pine in the aftertaste. Very nice beer, excellent balance, matches ESBs for style but with a little more hop boldness (and a little less malt sweetness) than a Fuller's. A far better approach than the mutant Brutal Bitter...

Appearance: Amber hue a nice creamy caramel hued head leaves nice even lacing as it dwindles. Aroma: Sweet caramel malt backbone wrapped with pine and earthy toned hops, along with a nice bready characteristic Pac Man yeast I presume. Taste: Extreme bitterness in the flavor but also sorts some good earthy and floral hop tones, a nice biscuit sweetness balances the hop barrage. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied some hop resins stick to the palate but pretty smooth overall. Drinkability: Healthy dose of hops with a nice malt character tasty ale.

Had on-tap at the Brick Store in Atlanta.
Pours a clear light brown color with a 1.5-finger light tan head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of bright citrus hops with husky lightly toasted malts.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Lightly toasted grainy malt flavors up front with good amounts of citrus and lighter amounts of pine hop flavors. The hop flavors fade away right before a solidly bitter ending. As the beer warms the malt flavors intensify and take on a sweeter caramel malt flavor with hints of toffee.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass and could have a few more.
Overall this was one of the better Bitters I remember having, however it's worth noting that all of my favorites have had more hops than are standard for the style. Even without all the hops, the solid malt bill would make Rogue's take on the style worth a shot.

Served in an American pint glass)
A-This beer has a very hazy dark orange body with a creamy/bubbly light tan head. There is a strong carbonation of big bubbles.
S- The smell of green pine hops and a very dry pale malt note.
T- The taste of green hops is dry and makes my mouth pucker. There is a dry pale malt with a faint biscuit note. There is a faint orange note and a carbonic finish.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel.
D- This beer is dry as dust with a big hop flavor. Not much other flavor or interesting characteristics going on.

Pours a coppery tan with a full head that stays a long, long time in the glass. Beautiful lacing as it goes down.
Slight citrus and wildflower aromas with a mild hop scent.
Mouthfeel is light but I don't consider it 'thin'.
Slightly buttery in the mouth with tiny bubble of carbonation.
Taste is of mild hops, flowers, and citrus.
Light citrus aftertaste.Drying sensation that is sort of cleansing to the palette.
Could use more hops, but overall very nice and drinkable.
Nice session brew.
"Not too filling...not too strong...just right"

This beer pours a cloudy medium copper colour, with one finger of creamy off-white head, which leaves a thin spotty wall of lace around the glass. It smells of caramel, toffee, and some soft, earthy hops. The taste is caramel malt, some biscuit, and mild piney, earthy hops. The carbonation is a bit high at first, but quickly abates, the body is decently weighted and smooth, and it finishes off-dry, with a bit of piney hops hanging around, and generally smooth.
This seems like a very agreeable, sessionable English bitter, with a pinch of West Coast USA thrown in for good measure.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a 16 oz glass
A: Medium amber-copper color with excellent head retention and lacing.
S: Very faint and subdued malt and flowery scent, could barely detect
T: Fairly bitter for a light beer, crisp hops taste with biscuit/butterscotch undertone
M: Smooth and light bodied, definitely leaves a bit of a bite at the end of each sip
D: A good hoppy example of a bitter, would repeat a tasting if I was in the mood for hops and not the strength of an IPA.

The World's first profibus-enabled peristaltic pumps
Introducing three new NEMA-4X rated cased peristaltic pumps with certified Profibus DP networking capabilities- namely the 520, 620, and 720 Series from Watson-Marlow. All new pumps come with a five-year warranty. The first model to be shipped, the Watson-Marlow 720 Series, is the world''s first cased peristaltic pump with Profibus DP. In the past it has been necessary to use a Profibus gateway to control cased peristaltic pumps using this protocol, but never before has diagnostic data been available remotely via Profibus. Compared with non-networked pumps, the Profibus-compatible units reduce engineering, hardware and installation costs, as well as offer remote diagnostics that help to minimize plant downtime and maintenance costs. The 520, 620 and 720 Series main control and running status functions cover: Start/Stop, Speed, Direction of rotation; as well as Running hours, Tacho count and Flow calibration. In the unlikely event of a failure, the pump will transmit an initial alarm notification covering the following: General fault, Leak detected, Guard open (except 520Series) and Software version mismatch. The pump can then be interrogated over the Profibus network to give more detailed analysis of the failure and provide diagnostic errors: such as Overcurrent, Over/Under voltage, Over temperature, Motor stalled and Tacho fault.

Update from California Department of Public Health
California Department of Public Health Launches Preteen Vaccine Week
Number: PH08-03
Date: January 18, 2008
For Release: Immediate
Contact: Suanne Buggy or Lea Brooks
Sacramento - Dr. Mark Horton, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), will launch California's Preteen Vaccine Week at a youth soccer tournament in San Diego tomorrow.
"Ensuring our preteens are immunized is something we can do to protect California's youth from a variety of diseases including whooping cough and tetanus," said Horton. "Immunizations are one of the best ways to prevent the spread of some serious diseases in our communities and schools."
California's Preteen Vaccine Week is January 20-26th. This year's theme is "Immunizations are your best shot!" Events throughout the state will highlight the importance of a doctor's visit and immunizations for 11 and 12 year olds. In San Diego, the event will include appearances by LA Galaxy soccer players and a testimony from a survivor of meningococcal disease.
"Preteen vaccinations can help our youth stay healthy as they approach adolescence," Horton said.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all 11-and 12-year-olds receive a meningococcal vaccine, a Tdap booster and a second chickenpox shot (if they've never had chickenpox disease). The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which prevents most cases of cervical cancer, is recommended for girls.
Further information about preteen vaccines is available at www.cdph.ca.gov For more information about immunization requirements and vaccine-preventable diseases, contact your physician or local health department immunization program or go to www.GetImmunizedCa.org Local health departments provide low-cost or free immunizations for children without health insurance.

My 5800 has been fine these last 6 months but a few days ago it developed a fault whereby the screen corrupts when keylock off is selected. Sometimes it clears in a second or 2 other times it refuses to come back and repeated use ot the keylock and the red button are the only cures. The screen displays many horizontal lines and it is not possible to read anything but pressing the screen will activate any icons you touch even though you do not know which one you have pressed.
I have the latest software update. I have not tried a hard or soft reset. Took it back to local store today but its a new fault to them. they have offered to send it away and give me a loan phone meanwhile. Before I do that, I thought I would ask if anyone had seen anything similar.
16-08-2009 16:06
ive seen this article about it something similar
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
16-08-2009 18:11
Thanks for the reponse, that article is very similar to my problems and it sounds like my display is failing. As time goes on its getting worse and pretty soon I think the phone will be unusable.

hi i recently got successfully repaired my broken screen on my 5800 it was working fine for a few days and then i updated the Firmware to V5... when it turned back on after update the bottom half of the screen was white and the top half is corrupt and looks like 1cm chunk of what should be on the right of the screen is now on the left...it also effects the digitiser which leads me to believe that it must be a software problem.....ive flashed the firmware (V5) over and over again and still no difference during the flash process however when the screen says nokia local mode and the screen looks fine so this must be a software problem????
if any one could help then that would be most appreciated!!!!

Downgrading the firmware is not possible at user end.. It may be possible only at Nokia Care with specialized equipment / software.. but if you have changed the LCD screen yourself they may not do it for you now... Just take a chance if you want...

Jorvik Viking Festival: Ragnarok Norse apocalypse due this weekend
Updated 10:00am Monday 17th February 2014 in News By Mark Stead, email@example.com
Fjarn Sven (David Marsay), left, and Njal Siggurdsson (Neil Shepherd ) start with some beard pulling before the battle on the Eye of York
YORK has taken a turn for the Norse as a celebration of the city's Scandinavian history begins.
A display of roar power signalled the start of the 30th Jorvik Viking Festival in Coppergate on Saturday as the first warriors set up camp, complete with a fully-equipped longship and an array of ancient myths and legends.
The week of festival events – many of them free - builds up to the discovery this Saturday of whether the prediction of Ragnarok, the Norse apocalypse, will come true.
The day itself will see the "ultimate battle" between rival tribes, and Vikings will be offering advice on how to prepare for the clash with sword combat sessions for youngsters every day at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall.
Experienced warriors will be in combat at Guildhall and activities include animation workshops, author talks, candlelit storytelling and archaeology lectures.
The Jorvik Viking Centre will recreate a Viking-age street where remains of Norse-era Coppergate were found tomorrow evening through the JORVIK Alive! event.
The festival's Saturday finale will see about 300 warriors gather in Dean's Park for a march through the city from 1.30pm, before massing at the Eye of York at 6.45pm for the climactic battle.
Festival director Danielle Daglan said: "Our celebrations also mark Jolablot, the Viking feast to hail the coming of spring which, to many people, is the annual rebirth of the world."
Full event and booking details are available at jorvik-viking-festival.co.uk and by phoning 01904 615505.

Rodriguez, Artistic Director of Vero Voce's Theatre Company "This is something I always wished people would do for me, so we figured why not give that opportunity to writers out there."

Top of Mind: Ken Casey, Extended Version
Dropkick Murphys Frontman, Publican, Philanthropist, Lucky Bastard, 41, Hingham
The way the music business is changing, it's good we can have it both ways. With all the albums we have out, I have thought that maybe sometime we wouldn't have to tour quite so much to keep a roof over our heads. But that's what we are anyway, a live band. That's just what we do. So it's all good.
MRB: Are you guys recording this fall?
KC: Yeah, we're writing the album now and recording in the fall.
MRB: Any direction you see yourselves going in, or is it too early to tell?
KC: No, it's too early. With the past two albums – even though I think they're fun albums – there were a lot of lyrically heavy topics, death and other big problems, and I think we've made a conscious effort now to be like, "Man, we want this to be a freakin' party record." We want to put the smiles on peoples' faces…we need it, you know? So that's the only conscious effort, and yet having said that, it never goes how it's planned. It'll probably end up being morbid, bitter…who knows. We're not reinventing the wheel, but we're definitely trying new things and trying to broaden what we do.
MRB: Okay, now I'm going to fire some random questions at you about a number of things. First off, you've been involved in Punkvoter and recorded for Rock Against Bush, so you do have some politics in your background. What's your take on Ted Kennedy's Senate seat being won by Republican Scott Brown?
KC: You know, I hate talking politics. Honestly. I'll answer the question, but we've always tried to be like, "Hey, if you're a fan, it's you that we care about the most, but you probably know where we stand from the lyrics." But you know, I barely got out of high school. I don't want to be like that guy who's all, "Hi, I'm a musician and I have a microphone, so suddenly now I'm a political analyst." We've experienced a lot in our lives and seen a lot, and seen how the world operates, and we also just come from conscious families that have been actively political. And I guess that coming from a family of Democrats, I definitely did not see the state taking that turn. The combination of Ted Kennedy's death with that unexpected change was pretty eye-opening. But you know, I don't know Scott Brown. My take on politics is that I judge them on the individual. I'll give you a perfect example: I've never voted Republican in my life, but Charlie Baker is an awesome guy. I know him through a lot of charity work and how he showed up for some things when families were in need. I don't know how I feel about his policies, but I'll tell you a good guy is a good guy.
MRB: The concept of the Masshole has now become this national thing. You've heard of Jersey Shore, of course. Now they're going to do Wicked Summah…
KC: Noooooo! You mean here?
MRB: Yeah, here.
KC: Oh no. I had heard that maybe one of the locations for the second season [of Jersey Shore] was in Southie, and I was like, "Holy crap, talk about dropping a load of oranges in with a bunch of apples!" But I mean, we're a unique breed, and I think if you want to kick it back to sports, we're a group of people who, by and large, can be loud and boisterous. We definitely took the hometown attitude to a whole new level once we won a few championships. And I only say that because we'll be in a lot of places, and obviously you can hear the accent from a million miles away. You hear somebody, and it's just funny – four tables over, and these people are definitely from Boston. I hope that the producers find a few better people to represent us on TV than the Jersey Shore group did. But it's like anywhere: There are a lot of characters here. There are some that make you scratch your head, and I'm sure those are the ones they'll pick up for good

AUGUSTA — Spokespeople for Gov. Paul LePage have said that the timing of the administration's decision to remove a 36-foot mural from the Maine Department of Labor was unfortunate.
This week, after absorbing criticism from his own party, the governor finally said so himself.
Although LePage told the Maine Public Broadcasting Network that he stood by his decision to remove the labor mural, he said he should have waited until the summer when the Legislature had completed its work.
"We and the people of the state of Maine need to get away from 'us and them'—we have to be 'we,' a people, we have to do it together," he told MPBN. "The Department of Labor is a department that works with business, with the employer as well as the employee, and it's got to be 'we'— it can't be 'us and them.'"
The governor's comments followed a meeting with Senate Republicans, many of whom have said that LePage's penchant for verbally shooting from the hip was subverting the GOP's agenda.
Last week Charlie Webster, chairman of the Maine Republican Party, told the Sun Journal that the mural flap was a "distraction we don't need."
"I'm worried about changing the state," Webster said. "I'm not worried about what pictures are hanging on the wall."
Senate President Kevin Raye, R-Perry, said Friday that the unusual decision by the governor to attend Thursday's caucus was a welcome one.
Raye said Senate Republicans "had some very grave concerns" about the controversy that followed the governor's public conduct.
"We had a very good discussion," Raye said. "We obviously have been very concerned with some of the sort of sideshow aspects to the media coverage, the 'little beards,' the mural. People think that this is all (Republicans) are talking about and doing. It's not."
Raye said members of the Republican caucus were spending a lot of time answering constituent questions about the governor's public remarks. Raye said he and House Speaker Rep. Robert Nutting, R-Oakland, had both expressed "very honest concerns" to LePage prior to the governor's visit Thursday.
Raye said the discussion could be a turning point in a session that's been marked by turmoil and speculated rifts between LePage and the Republican Legislature.
"I think (his visit) was very welcome," Raye said. "It spoke volumes and it showed our members that he cared. I think it was an excellent first step."
Privately, members of the GOP have been complaining about the governor's conduct for several weeks. Many have said they were worried that the governor's gravitation toward controversy would hurt their efforts this session. They're also concerned they'll lose their grip on the Legislature in 2012 if the governor becomes a political liability.
The governor appears to be receptive to their concerns. He described his meeting with Senate Republicans to MPBN as "about zipping my mouth up and not offending them."
That contrasted sharply with comments he made last week amid the mural furor.
Despite national criticism and a deliberate distancing by the GOP, the governor had been defiant about the mural. During an interview with WCSH6 last week, he was asked how he would respond if protesters formed a human chain to protect the mural.
"I'd laugh at them," LePage responded. "I'd laugh at them, the idiots."
LePage told MPBN on Thursday that it was time to get "back on topic."
"I told them that it's time that both the House and the Senate and the administration focus on the task at hand, and that's pension reform, health care reform, regulatory reform, energy reform and lowering the tax on Maine people."
Raye said his caucus was anxious to see whether the governor's meeting signaled a turning point in a thus-far tumultuous session.
"Much of what the governor wants to do has support in the Legislature," Raye said. "The issues, frankly, cut his way."

What It Is:
Diabetic neuropathy is a long-term complication of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It affects the nerves of the body. There is no cure for neuropathy.
Types of Neuropathy:
Autonomic neuropathy is damage caused to nerves that control the bladder, digestive tract and the reproductive organs.
Peripheral neuropathy affects nerves of the extremities, especially the feet and legs. Numbness and tingling, sensitivity to touch or muscle weakness are signs of neuropathy.Symptoms include chronic pain, numbness and muscle wasting. Sores and ulcers are also a serious threat.
Causes of Neuropathy:
Neuropathy, or damage to the nervous system, can have many causes.
An injury or exposure to toxins can harm the nerves. Several chronic diseases can also affect the integrity of nerves over a long period of time. Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and other conditions such as autoimmune diseases can cause damage to nerves. But diabetes is the biggest risk factor for neuropathy today.
Nerves Damaged by Abnormal Blood Glucose:
Neuropathy is a long-term complication of diabetes, which means it typically takes many years for neuropathy to develop. Nerve damage happens over time, due to prolonged exposure to the damaging affects of high blood glucose levels. The longer a person has diabetes, the higher the risk of developing neuropathy, especially if their disease is not controlled well.
Preventing or Reducing the Risk:
Good glucose control, a balanced eating plan and exercise can help fend off neuropathy. But sometimes, as in Type 1, no matter how tight the control, how balanced the diet or how much exercise a person gets, neuropathy can strike -- simply because of the sheer length of time the person has had diabetes. Also, many times, people who suffer from Type 2 diabetes don't even know they have the disease for many years. Much damage can occur during that time.
Treating Neuropathic Pain:
For mild to moderate pain, Tylenol or NSAIDS, such as Motrin or Aleve might be prescribed. Some of the more common medications for neuropathic pain include tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as Elavil and Amitril. When TCAs are used to treat chronic pain, the dosage is much lower than for treating depression. Cymbalta (duloxetine hcl) is an SSRI, another kind of antidepressant medicine which shows success at treating both neuropathic pain and any underlying depression that also might exist.
Other Options for Treating Pain:
Some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) also are showing success at relieving neuropathic pain. Neurontin and Lyrica are commonly prescribed AEDs. They work by reducing the frequency of pain signals that nerve cells send to the brain.
Stronger narcotic pain relievers are sometimes used for moderate to severe pain that does not respond to other medications.
How to Cope:
Occasionally neuropathy does not respond well to treatments for pain or it may get worse. For some people, it can lead to serious disability. If it hurts to walk, or if muscles are weak, it's hard to perform the activities of daily living. Try to pace yourself. Plan activities ahead of time, so you know what to expect. Don't try to do everything in one day. Ask for help or support from family and friends. Talking to a counselor or therapist can help with feelings of depression or anxiety.
