Review: 'A Day Late in Oakland'
by Minister of Information JR
The film focuses on his-story of Oakland, on the violence and drugs, on the reporting of Chauncey Bailey and on Dr. Yusuf Bey of Your Black Muslim Bakery – his good works in the community as well as the allegations against him before he passed away. It admits that Chaucey Bailey and Bey had a relationship when Dr. Bey was working with a group called Black Men First and Bailey was attending meetings and regularly reporting on its activities for the media.
They fail to talk to Paul Cobb, publisher of the Oakland Post and Chauncey Bailey's boss at the time he was murdered, saying he told investigating officers immediately after the murder that he thought the police were involved and they refused to write it down.
And, most of all, where were the interviews with Chauncey Bailey's colleagues in the Black press? If they refused to be interviewed like I did for this documentary, it may have been because even when the documentary was explained on the phone, it sounded like a anti-Black propaganda piece.
Right in line with the Anti-Bakery Project – euphemistically called the Chauncey Bailey Project – and the U.S. government's objectives for the MK-Ultra Program, the film, in the eyes of a fellow media-maker, is designed to engineer public opinion about what happened and who did what, why. This "unbiased reporting" omits a lot of major facts and people that are important to making this a well-rounded story.
And it also features Chris Thompson of the East Bay Express, commonly called the Nazi Bay Express in the Black community, which is a racist, politically driven free white weekly with a modest circulation in the eastern part of the Bay Area. This publication has been known to regularly bash everybody from the Bakery, to the Black Dot, to Ishmael Reed, to myself, to Oakland City Councilwoman Desley Brooks, to Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, who are all power brokers in the city of Oakland and in surrounding areas.
Notice I did not say they push thinkers in the Black community; I said performers and entertainers. They have never pushed self-determination for the Black community within their pages or on their website. They have pushed for assimilated dependence and local white domination within Oakland, which was at one time – not long ago – a chocolate city.
In fact, the Nazi Bay Express broke the color line when it hired Eric Arnold to be its first Black reporter near the turn of the millennium.
With all these bad ingredients, it is not hard to see why this movie hasn't received accolades from respectable people in the Black communities of the Bay Area. This is not to say that history should not be objectively discussed, but it has to be done where all the variables are thrown into the equation, so that we can get a solid answer about what is happening around us and what happened in this case.
I do think that this documentary should be studied, because it is very strong in the department of psychologically engineering ideas and connections. It is important for us in the Black community to study this, so that the masses can begin to build up a psychological resistance to this form of media terrorism.

On the day when an idiot, bigoted, minister has dared, and threatened to burn copies of one of the universe's most sacred Holy books, the Qu'ran, (and arrogant enough to think that he'd live after committing such an atrocity) let us not forget the information contained in the following links, which concern the murder of Paul Robeson via the U.S.'s 'chemical COINTELPRO': MK-ULTRA; and information concerning MK-ULTRA's infamous creator.
Check out the following links:

Bailey was murdered by members of the Black Muslim Bakery. Yusef Bey was a racist and a rapist as proven by DNA evidence. His sons were murderers and thugs. These people preyed on black people 100%. Folks on this website should be ashamed to have this kind of article posted here. The bakery was a filthy place and generated murder all over the city. Bailey was murdered BECAUSE he was investigating the bakery for God's sake!
How long are black people actually going to be conned by this militant racist nonsense? Are you seriously going to try to blame white people for the death of Bailey? It's pathetic. Take responsibility for your own failures or your successes will never be recognized. Stop covering up murder with false claims of racism and conspiracy. These are your people getting murdered. I call on the editors of this paper to take a stand on at least this this article.
Here's something else that needs to end, meaningless titles. I'm a lawyer, I don't go around asking people to call me doctor or attorney before they say my name. You are no minister and Mr. Bey was no doctor. When you use a meaningless title, you expose your own feelings of inadequacy.↓

Hey – John Mulligan:
When are white people going to take responsibility for their regime change murders of John F. and Robert Kennedy? When are they going to take responsibility for voting into office mass murderer George W. Bush and every single murdering, racist U.S. president prior to him? When are white people going to take responsibility for the murders of millions of AFRIKAN people via the Middle Passage? How long is it going to take whites to acknowledge that your J.Edgar Hoover was a racist monster who single handedly destroyed any and all AFRIKAN people that he could, under the guise of 'national security?'
How long is it going to take whites to take responsibility for the evils of the Ku Klux Klan? How long is it going to take whites to comprehend that Euro-Amerikkka is responsible for deliberate genocide amongst all peoples of color on the earth in their rabid attempt to own and control all of the earth's wealth for their own?
How many more babies do you have to kill with your undepleted uranium bombs before you acknowledge your war mongering genocide, matricide, and fratricide? What about white responsibility for Abu Grahib? And your attempts to blame the Oklahoma bombing done by Timothy McVeigh upon Muslims? And that idiot white preacher in Florida threatening to burn the Qu'ran? And the U.S. government's refusal to comprehend the dangers in global warming – that they've created? What about your responsibility for creating weapons of mass destruction that leave buildings in tact and kill people? And when are you going to recognize that George W. Bush masterminded the entire 9/11 scenario?
Who among whites of your ilk recognize that Bush-Clinton destabilization plans of the past and the present, especially when Bush wipes his hands on what ever is convenient after shaking hands with anyone AFRIKAN? How much oil and other resources of other peoples have whites stolen? How many prisons have whites built – and filled not with your own corporate murderers – but with people of color, predominantly AFRIKAN? And let us not forget that Hitler greatly admired Napoleon Bonaparte because that particular monster invented the first gas chambers by locking enslaved AFRIKANS in the holds of ships and burning sulphur in the holds until they were dead.
Thankfully, Haitians defeated Napoleon, and his brother-in-law, and the English, and the Spanish, and threw them out of Haiti.
How many more idiots are you going to 'select' like Arnold Schwartzenegger, Gray Davis, Hillary and Billy Clinton, Jerry Brown, and others of their ilk into high office? (Is f**king cigars a pre-requisite for responsible presidential leadership? How's the wording on that resume for that particular 'skill?') How many whites acknowledge the very close relationship that the U.S. government had – politically and financially – with Adolf Hitler and the German Nazi party? (Why, Bush's granddaddy was Hitler's personal financier, and Bush was and is stupid as a post, fucking and drinking his way through college to become a U.S. president in 2 rigged elections) Why did whites let Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun (a card carrying member of the SS and the German Nazi Party) work at McClellan and other U.S. Air Force bases and participate in something Franklin D. Roosevelt called 'Operation Paperclip' building rockets for the U.S.?
Oh, and lest we forget – whites in the U.S. hooked Nazi Germany on eugenics, not the other way around…
I could continue providing names, dates, facts, and figures of things white people are responsible for and refuse to admit to all day – including the fact that accusing AFRIKANS of racism is spurious, and rape is a military tool of war that has been utilized by occupying and invading Euro-Amerikkkan armies (among others) on a genocidal scale as the crime of power that it is, and has been utilized – and taught – as such since the first white terrorist invaders of ALL of the lands of the world belonging to ALL civilizations that were non-white.
Attorney whatever your name is – do NOT attempt to bleat at AFRIKAN people about responsibility, for the truth of the matter is, if we peoples of color had strangled Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus) the moment his diseased, lost, racist, genocidal ass first set foot on the island that is now AYITI (Haiti) on one side and the Dominican Rebpublic on the other, a great many people Indigenous to the island, AFRIKANS, and other peoples of color would still be alive and flourishing today, and capitalism and imperialism wouldn't have had that particular chance to gain a foothold in our world.
And on the subject of meaningless titles: there are a great many corrupt attorneys in the world. You appear to be one of them.
War Without Terms,
one minor point Malaika…the only reason we know anything about COINTELPRO is because it was exposed by some white people….ie. the Weather Underground, when they broke into the FBI offices in PA in 1971.
It isn't a race war. Its a class war. Disadvantaged and exploited people of all colors, including white, need to stand together to oppose injustice against self-appointed royalty who have set themselves up to live off the toil of others ever since humans invented agriculture. The worst nighmare of the "ruling" class is that the poor of all ethnicities will stand together and fight.
No Gods. No Masters.↓

Dear Mr. Kambon,
I'm just going to assume that you agree with my comments on the murder of Mr. Bailey since you refused to address a thing I wrote about the issue. You response is flawed, also, because you assume I'm white and that I would care. (Did you know that mixed race people are the fastest growing demographic in the country? Wow. How do you calculate their responsibility?) But here's the funny thing, are you saying that white people refuse to accept responsibility, and therefore, it's ok for murderers like the Beys to do the same? Interesting logic.
For those of you here who actually care about this issue check out this site: http://www.chaunceybaileyproject.org/. I encourage you to decide for yourselves rather than simply be lead by the nose by another charlatan posing as a "leader".
Here's an interesting and related question for you conspiracy theorists: Is it possible that this article is a setup for future jurors in the trials for those responsible for murder at Bakery? Think about that when Mr. Bey and his ilk use race to try and get you to acquit them for the murder of a black journalist who was killed for investigating Mr. Bey.↓
The sinister "minister" of disinformation JR was on the phone with the suspect Yusef Bey the night before the murder. His involvement stinks to high heaven. His defense of a hate group is telling.↓
"The lawsuit was filed against Bey, the bakery and Alameda County by a trio of women who'd been raised by the cleric and claimed he'd tormented and raped them while they were children.
Kaufman may have died for stumbling upon one of Yusuf Bey's dark secrets, according to the deposition.
Days before he was shot, Kaufman walked into a bakery bathroom and discovered Bey raping a young boy, according to one woman's testimony.
Within days, the man she identified in testimony only as Usman was "blasted" as he was "sitting in the passenger's seat" of a friend's van.
"I heard him say out of his own mouth that he walked into the restroom and saw Brother Bey sexually assaulting this young man," testified the woman, who is identified in transcripts only as Jane Doe 1 because she's a sexual abuse victim.
Kaufman tried to intervene, asking the preacher what he was doing, Jane Doe 1 testified."
I wonder how many of those young boys in the photo at the top of this article were molested or raped by Yusef Bey Sr….↓
Wakefield, why do you print this trash?↓
negroes murdedeing negroes and you have the gaul to blame whitey don't you realise that crime and bad behavior are probably genetic defects.↓

These are truly impressive ideas in about blogging. You have touched some pleasant points here. Any way keep up wrinting.↓

On behalf of Minnesota consumers, the Minnesota Department of Commerce recently concluded its health insurance rate review process for new policies that will be available for Open Enrollment and on MNsure, October 1, 2013. The Commerce Department approved rates and policies that include health insurance options for people at all income levels to provide access to preventative care and clinic visits when sick, rather than turning to expensive emergency room services. Providing multiple options at competitive rates will make the system more efficient, which will in turn drive down health care costs for everyone.

NYC plan for wifi and cell service on Subway!
I think it would be so cool if San Francisco could implement something like this on our BART system. A lot of us use public transportation to get to and from work, and work while we're riding BART -- so this would be a great service for the city to provide. San Francisco should be as tech-savvy and as ahead of the curve as NYC!
I wholeheartedly agree that BART should have WiFi, and according to the articles on the bottom, it will! Although most people will have to pay, it is a big step towards making our public transport system much more tech savvy. I have seen several public buses in other cities that contain WiFi, so implementing it on BART seems like a pretty neat idea.

AUBURN — Route 4 will get a turning lane at Lake Shore Drive.
And, possibly, a pair of roundabouts.
The Androscoggin Transportation Resource Center, which is housed and staffed by the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments and is responsible for planning for that stretch of Route 4, voted Thursday to spend $500,000 to add a turning lane from Lake Shore Drive to about Roy's All-Steak Hamburgers and Golf Center, across from Blanchard Road.
Officials say the road is about 70 feet wide, enough to add a turning lane while keeping four traffic lanes and 6-foot shoulders.
Construction could start and end this fall.
"It was well-vetted between residents, the city, DOT engineers," Auburn City Manager Clinton Deschene said. "Everybody's had good chances to look at this, and it seems to be the most cost-effective, quickly implementable solution. I'd like to see the final plans — we don't have those yet — but the concept is spot-on."
The Androscoggin Transportation Resource Center also agreed to spend $300,000 on preliminary engineering and design work for a pair of Route 4 roundabouts. The first would be in the area of Fair and Martin streets, near the boat launch. The second would be in the area of Lake Shore Drive.
If that project moves forward, the speed limit on that stretch of road would be lowered.
It will likely take a year to finish the design work on the roundabouts. Officials would then have to find about $4 million — $2 million each — to pay for construction.
Officials say the turning lane is a short-term solution to the problems on Route 4. The roundabouts would be the long-term solution.
"(The turning lane) is going to go a long way to address the safety of the worst section of it," said Jennifer Williams, transportation director for the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments. "The future roundabouts will help a lot with some of the other problem areas."
Funding for the turning lane and the preliminary roundabout work will come 80 percent from the federal government, 10 percent from the state and 10 percent from Auburn.
Residents have long complained that the 55-mph, four-lane stretch of Route 4 from outer Center Street in Auburn to the Turner town line is dangerous, especially for traffic turning left. Experts say that danger exists in large part because turning drivers must stop in the left lane, which is also the road's passing lane. Drivers risk getting rear-ended as they sit waiting for southbound traffic to clear so they can turn.
There were 55 crashes in the area of Lake Shore Drive between 2003 and 2012. Of those, three caused incapacitating injuries.
Last August, a 5-year-old girl was seriously injured when the car she was riding in was rear-ended as it waited to turn left onto Lake Shore Drive. The crash brought new attention to the dangers of that road and residents began talking about it to anyone who would listen, including lawmakers, the ATRC and the Maine Department of Transportation.
Small changes, including an MDOT-installed sign with flashing lights, have since been made. But the changes planned by ATRC are by far the most significant.
"I am thankful and just extremely grateful that they fast-tracked this and made this of high importance and are looking to make Route 4 safer," said Tammie Willoughby, who must turn onto Lake Shore Drive every day to go home.
She has been serving as a kind of neighborhood representative at meetings about the road for the past year. She was pleased by ATRC's decision Thursday, and believes a turning lane will immediately help.
"It'll get us out of the left-hand lane, stopped in a passing lane trying to turn left," she said.
Although the proposal for roundabouts may surprise some, Deschene said road studies have recommended them in the past. He and others say traffic lights and narrowing of the road — ideas often raised by residents — could create more problems than they would solve, while roundabouts would encourage drivers to slow down and be more cautious.
"The roundabouts will become, and this is my layperson's perspective, good signals as people come into the city that you're no longer on a commuter-highway-type mindset, but you're about to enter a more urbanized downtown area," Deschene said. "It also won't happen with the aggravation of making you stop."
However, some drivers may have to be convinced that roundabouts are a good idea.
"I don't know that's going to work on a highway like that," said Harry Walker, who was severely injured in December 2011 when his Jeep was rear-ended as he tried to turn onto Lake Shore Drive to go home.
Although he reserved judgment on the proposed roundabouts, Walker lauded the plan for a turning lane.
"I think it's about time they did it," he said.
Officials next will finalize a design plan for the turning-lane changes. There will likely be an informational and public comment session on it in the coming months.
Although the turning lane could be finished this fall, it won't come soon enough for Amy Liberman, whose daughter, Danika DeMayo, was the 5-year-old severely injured last August.
Danika, now 6, is still dealing with the after-effects of the crash, including long-term memory problems.
"Even if they change (the road), I will never drive up there again," Liberman said.

Dick's Honda in Hillsboro, Oregon is the fastest growing Honda dealership in Portland, OR. That may be because we are one of the newest, but we like to believe that it is because way care about you, our customer. Our team acts more as guides through your Portland Honda shopping experience, and help you navigate the ins and outs of the newest Honda lineup. Thanks to our huge selection we are able to show you the vast majority of trim and feature combinations. You can't do this at just any Honda dealership in Portland. You need to come to a car dealership like Dick's Hillsboro Honda, where we will let you take your time.
At our Honda dealership, just a short 20 minute drive from Portland, Gresham or Beaverton, you will find the latest Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and Fit models at great prices.
Finding a high quality used car in Hillsboro, OR has never been easier thanks to Dick's Auto Group. We offer one of the largest selections of used cars in Portland, including Hillsboro, Gresham and Beaverton. Our sales team works hard to find you quality used cars. To do that we put each and every one through a very detailed inspection with a trained auto repair technician. We trust our experts to find any potential problems on our vehicles so you can rest assured that you are getting a great one.
One of the great things about Honda is their awesome lease programs. We can't tell you the number of times that we've seen jaws drop at the ridiculously low lease terms that people have gotten. The reason why this is possible is because a lease works a little differently than buying a car.
When you lease instead of buy a Honda you get the benefit of only paying the difference in the value of the vehicle, and not the price for the whole vehicle. Since Honda has such great value retention that means that the amount you have to pay on a lease can be surprisingly low. If leasing is something you are interested in, which many people are, then we encourage you to talk to us. We can give you all the ins and outs of leasing versus buying a Honda.
While we do work on almost all makes and models, we are truly the experts for Honda repairs in Portland. Each of our technicians has gone through rigorous training on Honda vehicles, and has spent tons of time under the hood, and under the cars. The reason why people choose to get their Honda repairs by certified Honda technicians is because we are more efficient. While it may sound a little silly, there is muscle memory in auto repairs, as with all things, and our extensive time under the hood gives us a distinct advantage in this department. Our team knows the ins and outs of each of our vehicles, and are often faster at repairing Hondas than someone who doesn't specialize in them.

ARTHUR, Ill. -- This may look like your typical country home but inside, it's even more simple.
Edna Mae Schrock lives with no electricity, no internet and basically no modern technology.
That's why filming her face is off limits.
It's all part of the Amish religion. Although basic, the lifestyle can be busy.
Edna Mae has 6 children, 20 grandchildren, and six great grandchildren, a typical-size Amish family that adds up to a lot of cooking and cleaning.
All the appliances run on propane gas or batteries.
"A lot of people would think it would be really hard but see we're used to it, and with a generator, you can do almost anything," said Schrock.
She said the strict Amish culture portrayed on TV can be misleading.
Although religion is a big part of the traditionalist Christian Church, some members are laid back.
Schrock's whole family is not Amish. When asked if that bothered her she said,"Probably not that much. You'd want your children probably to be Amish, but as long as they go to church somewhere, that's a big blessing too."
Despite any stigmas, countless tourists come from around the world to get a glimpse of the old-fashioned.
"Visitors that come, they expect maybe like a Williamsburg, Virginia experience, where there's re-enactors and everything. No. This is real life here," said Kent Stock, a volunteer at the Arthur Welcome Center and President of the Arthur Historical Society.
"Grab a map at the welcome center," said Stock. "Take a drive, and when you're out there, ask questions and enjoy the day. It will be a unique experience and one well worth the drive."
One of the biggest attractions is Yoder's Kitchen.
The restaurant owner said customers drive hours out of the way, multiple times a week to get a taste of Amish food.
"People just like to travel to this area, and they love our food," said Anna Herschberger, owner of Yoder's Kitchen. "You know, mashed potatoes are made from scratch. We have roasted chicken... I mean everything is homemade here, made from scratch."
Photographer Larry Foulk and I liked it too.
I got the barbecue turkey on handmade bread, and Larry sampled the buffet, topping it off with famous Amish pie.
"It's not Thursday, but you gotta eat!" said Larry out of satisfaction.
Joe Bennett doesn't know what he's missing.
Take a walk down Vine Street and you'll get the full downtown shopping and business experience.
Arthur is truly a small town. There aren't even any stoplights and it isn't uncommon to see people riding their horse and buggies year round.
Edna Mae said if the Amish need to travel long-distance, they have to hire someone to drive a car.
The Welcome Center is a good place to start when you get to Illinois' Amish Country.
"A lot of people think we are so different," said Schrock. "I used to do home tours, and most people would leave here saying, 'Oh, you're not as different as I thought. You just live a little different. You're just people like we are.'"
Home tours are available. Buggies are optional.

The Buffalo Bills will be going in a different direction after firing Chan Gailey on Monday. The team announced the move at 11 a.m. ET, sending out a tweet to confirm the news. Gailey spent three seasons with the Bills, all of which ended with double-digit losses.
This was Gailey's second stint as a head coach in the NFL, the first of which came with the Dallas Cowboys. There, he tallied an 18-14 record in two seasons. In Buffalo, Gailey finished with just 16 wins over three years.
It doesn't seem likely that Gailey will end up as a head coach at the professional level any time soon. He could very well find a position on an offensive staff on some NFL team, or head back to college football. Gailey spent 2002 through 2007 as the head coach at Georgia Tech, amassing a 44-32 record with the Yellow Jackets.
Firing Gailey means the Bills will have a seventh different head coach since the departure of Marv Levy after the 1997 season.

Canada's money is plastic and smells like Maple Syrup!
The new $100 and $50 bills that the Bank of Canada started circulating recently are made of more durable plastic, instead of those made of more traditional paper. They're a little bit more expense (they cost ¢19 instead of ¢10 per bill to make) but they have an expected life that is 2 and a half times longer than the traditional bills they replace.
The bills will also aid Canada battle counterfeiting. The polymer that they're made of is more difficult to fake. They have new holographic security measures, including one in the shape of a maple leaf. As an added bonus, they also smell like maple syrup and they're recyclable, meaning they will have a lower environmental impact than the prior bills.
UPDATE: Based on some of your comments below, and some more digging, we've found this video of a newscast that talks about the Maple Syrup smell. Some people in it say they smell the Maple, others say it's just a rumor, and through the power of suggestion, people believe that the bill smells like something it doesn't. I've never seen that much Canadian money all at once in my life, so I'll let you guys watch and decide

Megan Meier: Mistaken Myspace Suicide
It was a bloggeran adult in distant Richmond, Va.who would pick up on the news of Megan Meier's death and shine a light on its alleged mastermind. The obituary, an online phonebook and local tax records helped an outraged Sarah Wells identify and locate Lori Drew. In November of 2007, the 45-year old housewife, married to a lawyer, published Drew's name which early reports had omitted, on her blog, amid talk of politics and cats, video games and television. Anonymous commentators would then add Curt Drew's name and their address. Other independent Internet muckrakers supplied pictures, mapsand plenty of blame and hostility.
The Meiers engaged, perhaps understandably, in an open feud with the family they believe was responsible for their daughter's death. Smashing the foosball table that the Drews had asked them to hide until Christmas didn't provide much catharsis in the immediate aftermath of the counselor's office revelation, and ongoing angry words fired from the driveway weren't enough. Ron allegedly tore up the Drews' lawn with his truck, and Tina began following Lori as she sought to sign up clients for the coupon book that the Drews published, telling local business owners of the Drews' involvement in Megan's death.
But the Meiers didn't stop there; the internet became a second front. Tina and Ron lobbied for more effective anti-cyberstalking laws. They were successful. In 2007 Dardenne Prairie passed an electronic harassment act, and the state of Missouri is reviewing state laws; other localities are following suit.
Strangers hacked the Drews' voicemail and posted YouTube videos of the family. Unknown parties threw a brick threw their window and shot their house with a paintball gun. And someone started www.Meganhaditcoming.comand made it look like Lori Drew was behind the site, using the innocent girl already in her grave to continue the vendetta.ĀThe Drews withdrew their daughter from school and are reportedly afraid to go to their own mailbox.
Lori Drew's trial should be an interesting one and it will certainly provoke another online firestorm: an adult has been accused of an abuse of the Internet leading to the death of a child. An earlier case in Alaska has demonstrated the difficulties of reaching satisfactory legal resolutions in such cases.

Groton — An official from the state Department of Transportation said Wednesday that a piece of "haunch" or leftover concrete fell from a bridge, causing the closure of the on-ramp to Interstate 95 North from Long Hill Road South for several hours Tuesday night.
Kevin Nursick, DOT spokesman, said that the bridge is safe. He said the haunch is not structural in any way and has no impact on the condition or integrity of the bridge. The haunches served a purpose only when the bridge was built, and after that, are essentially no longer needed, he added.
Nursick said crews removed the remaining loose material, and will for the next day or two work on removing the remaining haunch material.

- A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at him. The man says thank you and walks out. Why?
(For the answer see the bottom!)
I've searched the internet for some great 'brain teaser' sites. Here are some of the best.
- Cool Puzzles -- Go to the Brain Teasers and Lateral Thinking pages. Because of the frames, you are automatically taken to the front page.
- Just Riddles and More -- When I last looked there were over 400 riddles
Here's another lateral thinking puzzle for you to try. (Remember, don't think normally, think laterally! ;-) )
- A woman goes to heaven and notices that everyone is naked and appears as they did at age 21. She looks around and suddenly recognizes two of the inhabitants: Adam and Eve. How did she know it was them?
If you've thought of some great brain teasers, make sure to list them at the forum!
Want one more teaser before I give you the answers?
- A bedraggled, sunburnt young woman makes her way into a restaurant located on the 5th floor of a large building. She gets seated on the balcony. Seeing that the special for the day is seagull, she orders some. When the meal comes, she tastes it, calls the waiter over, and asks, "Are you sure this is seagull?" "Yes," says the waiter, "absolutely sure." With that, the young woman jumps up and leaps off the balcony to her death. Why?
- He had the hiccups.
- They were the only ones without navels.
- She was among a group of survivors from a shipwreck. They had fed her something which they said was seagull. When she ate the real seagull, she realized things were as she feared. They had given one of the less fortunate shipwreck victims. Therefore, she killed herself. (Disgusting, I know, but made you think!)

Mets non-tender Zambrano
Talented, but oft-injured starting pitcher is now a free agent
The Mets regularly had tracked the progress of Victor Zambrano as he rehabbed his surgically repaired right elbow. They appeared to maintain a level of interest in the pitcher who had been a member of their rotation for parts of three seasons. But their interest ultimately wasn't such that they would pay him $2.4 million for next season.
So the club has opted not to tender a contract to the veteran right-handed pitcher. When the deadline for tendering contracts passes at midnight ET Tuesday, Zambrano will become a free agent.
The collective bargaining agreement mandates a club tender a contract for at least 80 percent of what a player earned the preceding season to any player on its 40-man roster not under contract. Zambrano, 31 years old, twice-repaired and modestly successful, earned $3 million for the 2006 season.
The issue of tendering a contract to Dave Williams passed Tuesday when the left-handed pitcher acquired from the Reds last summer agreed to a one-year contract for $1.25 million. Because Williams earned $1.4 million last season, the Mets were obligated to tender him for at least $1.12 million. The contract includes incentives based on starts or appearances that can put his 2007 earnings at more than $2 million.
Williams is a potential starter in the eyes of general manager Omar Minaya. He looms a little larger in the Mets' plans now that free agent Darren Oliver has signed with the Angels, not that the Mets ever were intent on re-signing Oliver.
Williams, 27, produced a 3-1 record and 5.59 ERA in six appearances -- five starts -- and 29 innings with the Mets.
Zambrano will be free to sign with any club -- the Mets included -- for any figure at the Major League minimum or more. He had been willing to pitch in relief to improve his chances of returning to the Mets and to return to the big leagues earlier.
He produced a 1-2 record and 6.75 ERA in five starts in 2006, his season ending May 6 when he left the mound, the flexor tendon in his right elbow torn and in need of surgical repair. He had undergone Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery once previously.
Since his acquisition in 2004 in a controversial trade that cost the Mets Scott Kazmir, Zambrano had produced a 10-14 record and 4.42 ERA in 39 appearances -- 35 starts. He has been a perpetual project in his career, seldom pitching consistently at a level comparable with his potential.

University of Wisconsin receiver Jared Abbrederis has been awarded the 2013 Burlsworth Trophy.
Abbrederis was a finalist with running back Trey Watts of the University of Tulsa and lineman Max Copeland of Missouri. The trophy was awarded Monday during a ceremony in Springdale.
The Burlsworth Trophy is given to the most outstanding collegiate football player who began his career as a walk-on.
The trophy is named in honor of former Arkansas Razorback Brandon Burlsworth, who walked on at UA in 1994 and later became a three-year starter and was named an All-American in 1998. He was selected by Indianapolis in the 1999 NFL Draft but died in an auto accident 11 days later.

On tap, straight from the source. Pours a dark amber color with an inch of head. Some lacing. Aroma is citrus with a bit of floral hops. Taste is citrus hops at first, namely orange peel, and floral hops. Caramel malt flavors as well. Nicely carbonated. Not overly hoppy with the main flavors being the orange peel and floral. Overall, not bad, not great. Wouldnt turn one down but I wouldn't go out of my way to have it again.

In my mind Deschutes is very underrated they brew a vast array of great styles and sadly alot of people in the midwest and east never have had the chance to try their wares... now enough of that on to the review.This poured an odd kinda hazed brownish orange with a nice tight one finger head that never totaly settles,well that Oregon hop profile really shows itself like I knew it would quite citrusy with lemon I think being predominant over top of caramelly biscuit dough malt its not all one dimensional.The hop dominates but it has character tea-like up front with a nice resiny,spruce like finish all the long a decent sized sweetish malt base holds its own thru to the finish.A nice hoppy quaffing IPA I would have never guess this was so high in alc its very drinkable,well done.

Appearance This poured a beautiful, malty brown in color and was very thick. The head was massive and just as thick. It rose up mightily on an easy pour, went down slowly, and covered the inside of my Snoqualmie pint glass with thick shaving cream foam.
Smell The classic PacNW pine is mated here with a strong malt presence. Its a big but balanced nose. Theres a lot of malty sweetness in here as well. It just smells sticky.
Taste Oh, yeah, this is a big, balanced IPA. The malt comes on huge at the taste. It has some strong yeasty notes, like an English bitter, but mostly its that strong, syrupy flavor like you get from liquid malt. Its got a big sweet flavor as well, like liquid caramel.
The hops come straight through from the nose. Theres some complexity there but mostly it sticks with the pine to stand up to the massive malt. Well done.
Mouthfeel This is on the big end of medium-bodied and very gooey in the mouth. Its sticky sweet on the lips with a strong, English-style bitterness at the very end.
Drinkability This is a big-bodied IPA that will fill you up in a hurry. I really enjoyed the harmonious mix of flavors and the heavy, slick mouthfeel.

Had this bottle in Maui. Amber colored with a slight orange tint. Poured with a thin head. Lacing lingered for a considerable time. Definite aroma of honey and pine. Hops come through strongly. The best thing about this beer is although the flavor was hoppy as you would want, it also carried some amount of malt to try and balance it. Semi-creamy mouthfeel. As a whole, an okay IPA but not out of this world.

Inversion comes out of the bottle appearing very dark for an IPA. The color is a deep copper-amber and a big, 2-finger, light khaki head blossoms over the body. The lacing is fantastic!
The aroma of the beer is well-balanced between malt and hops. A healthy dose of sweet caramel malts and piney hops meets my nose. Some light citrus smells of orange and lime are also present.
I am surprised that this beer is so light on the hops. The bottle says best by 1/11/12, so I was assuming that it would be very freshly hoppy, but I am not getting all that much of that. I do get a lot of caramel-ly malt sweetness with a slight citrus hop nip on the sides of my palate and a nice dry, dank pine hop finish. I guess they're (the hops) in there, but not as much as I usually like.
The mouthfeel is on the fuller side for an IPA, with just a little hop bite on the sides of the mouth and tongue.
Certainly a fine IPA, but it's one that I think I would prefer very fresh. It's so well balanced that any amount of hop fading will tilt it in favor of the malts, I think. Good, not great.

A: A medium copper colored ale that produces a good stand of foam when poured. The head is rocky in texture and off white. The bottle has a much appreciated best by date of 10/16/13.
S: Strong citrus hops with aromas of pine and some pineapple. The hops smell is rich layered at first fades after a few minutes. The malt bring a little sweetness and some caramel.
T: The strong hops bitterness and strong citrus hops flavor dominate. With little malt support the hops stand on their own becoming almost too bitter. The balance stays on the side of being aggressively bitter without getting harsh. There is a light malt sweetness with a medium-low caramel flavor.
M: A medium bodied creamy beer with moderately strong carbonation.
O: A very good IPA that I'll try find again.

Poured into pub glass.
A: Poured a very attractive hazy dark copper color with a light beige one finger head. Head receded quickly leaving a collar that persisted.
S: Citrusy hops. Notes of grapefruit and orange with hints of red fruits underneath. Some malt sweetness.
T: The bitterrness hits right away but it's the unexpected fruity esters that grab my attention. Very interesting flavor profile and certainly different than many other IPAs. Citric and piney with notes of candied red fruits with a strong caramel malt backbone. Bitterness is at an appropriate level but not super high. Nice level of sweetness but not cloying in any way.
M: Medium bodied with a good level of carbonation. I like it; no complaints.
D: Quite high. A well-structured IPA that has lots of flavor and doesn't fatigue the palate.
Overall, another well made beer by Deschutes. Some people may be disappointed as this beer doesn't reach the the super high bitterness category, but it's still quite high and I think the hop character interplays with the prominent malt flavors very nicely. An interesting IPA that I like to include in my IPA rotation.

Looks really good for an IPA, dark copper, amber color with only a bit of chill haze. Off white head, solid one inch on the pour. Reduced to a lumpy mass that grips tight to the glass.
Pine hops predominately in the aroma with some hints of biscuit malts. Fainting touches of citrus rinds. Pretty straight forward.
Flavor is lacking in flavor really. Lots of bitterness but not too much actualy flavor. What is there is a mix of pine and pine resin. Needs some more powerful malt flavors as well. Its just okay really.
Decent mouthfeel, pushing medium bodied. Coats the mouth well enough and the flavor lingers for a bit.
Okay drinkability. The lack of any real flavor outside of its bitterness doesn't draw me to this too much. But its okay.

Pours dark amber into my nonic. Beautiful appearance with abundant amber head. Clear, little effrvescence.
Citrus aroma. Pleasant.
Taste, grapefruit. Definitely grapefruit. Nice balance up front with astringent citrus taking over at the end.
This is borderline IIPA in ABV and hop flavor. A palate destroyer that makes this difficult to drink many of at one time.
So, I make the most of it and enjoy them more sparingly.

Didn't notice a bottle date
A - Pours clear copper with two fingers of tan head. Head has decent retention and leaves some lacing.
S - Citrus and sweet malts are most apparent in the smell. Also maybe a faint amount of pine and a bit of honey.
T - Nice bitter bite up front, mostly citrus but more pine than I got from the smell. There is a solid malt base here that nicely compliments the hops, adding a touch of sweetness and some depth of flavor. Has a nice lingering bitterness.
M - Medium mouthfeel with a nice amount of creaminess. Despite the malt presence, the finish is dry and bitter.
O - A very solid, balanced IPA. Hoppy without being a hop bomb. Nice combination of hops varieties.

A- A nice copper color with a reddish hue to it. Very clear for an IPA.
S- Great hoppy smell. A little bit of a roasty smell coming through also.
T- Moderate hoppy taste. Has a reddish type bite with a smokey finish. Very little amounts of citrus in this IPA. This beer does not have the bite that I really enjoy in IPA's.
M- Super good mouth-feel with this beer. Great carbonation, good consistency, slightly velvety finish. Best part of the beer.
O- This is a good IPA for anyone who likes red ales to try. If someone does not like the strong nature of the IPA, they might want to give this one a whirl.
Decent Beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy reddish orange with a big fluffy off-white head that retains well and coats the glass with lacing.
The aroma is bready caramel malts and a piney hoppiness.
The flavor is sweet and toasted caramel malts and a little fruitiness, followed by a pretty big piney floral hop bitterness with a huge lingering bitter aftertaste (almost too much). The mouthfeel is medium to light and slightly watery.
Overall, a well done IPA. It's a bit unbalanced, but nice if you're in the mood for a hop-bomb.

In our early 30s, we did seem a little out of place at times but we had not gone for the more social aspects of cruising. Did not see many kids, but we had chosen a date outside of the school holidays. We saw this as a more comfortable alternative to backpacking to see so many countries!
Embarkation was quite painless, a coach took us from the airport and we waited excitedly in a large tent. We arrived about 30 minutes before boarding, and we were on the ship in less than an hour. I had booked a mini-suite as a surprise for my girlfriend, and was amazed at the size and the luxury!
The food was great, but I missed some of the more spicy food I like at home. My girlfriend laughed when I bought some chilli sauce at port! Main dining room service was hit and miss, some nights was very good... other nights seem like a dressed up McDonalds! Loved the Crown grill, and ate there several times. The buffet was not too crowded and had good options. Also enjoyed the pizza and the hamburgers by the pool. My favourite location was the International Cafe, and my first purchase on board was the coffee card and this was well used! Some of the best mochas I have ever tasted and my girlfriend was nagging me for hot chocolate! Also enjoyed the sandwiches and pastries there too.
A hot topic on the boards... had to go to a special desk in Sabatinis on the last sea day to remove auto-tips from account, and was given a brief interrogation! They were less than subtle when asking "where do you come from?", but they seem to be getting the message that the English do not like to have forced tips judging by the size of the list he had in front of him! Tipped in cash to our steward at the end, and filled in a card for him. This might not be popular here, but I like to be honest.
Entertainment onboard was mixed... we went to the Motown show in the theater, and it was terrible. They could not sing or dance at all. We werent the first to leave, as we saw several even in the front row get up and leave after the first couple of numbers. Also caught the hypnotist act, very poor although I think that type of show is quite old, and would not blame the performer. The highlight of the cruise was the magician Tony Laffan and his beautiful assistant. They put on a very good show with a mix of comedy and very technical stage illusions. Was quietly hiding behind a rather large drink at the audience participation sections! They also put on a magic school the next day as part of the scholarship at sea program. Some of the bands in the wheelhouse and explorers lounge were very good. Loved movies under the stars, although could be a little cold for some on this cruise. Also had a good choice of films on the cabin TV to relax in front of. Library also had a good selection for those of you who had forgotten to bring anything to read by the pool (like my girlfriend!). We had a quick go shoting some hoops on the basketball court, when approached by one of the crew and encouraged to play a game with some other passengers, he even produced a medal for the winner. Was a nice touch, that shows the class of Princess.
Took all our excursions through Princess for ease of use (except a quick bus into Tallinn). They might have been a little more expensive, but the guides were informative and friendly, and the transport comfortable.
Disembarkation was a lot smoother than I was expecting. Left the cases out later than asked, as we had a late dinner already booked that night. Only had to wait about 30 mins in the theater before getting on coaches to airport. The airport was packed and our flight overbooked, but can not really blame Princess about this!
Overall was very impressed with our first cruise, and will go on more. Already trying to drag my Dad on next one with us! This was an amazing way to get a sampler of some of the beautiful countries in the Baltics and would recommend Princess and this cruise to anyone!

Tax breaks for businesses are typically provided by government to promote a specific type of behavior, such as moving a plant to a part of the country where jobs are fewer or promoting a particularly good or service over another. Lately, it's been about promoting energy efficiency or being green.
Indeed, the U.S. Department of Energy lists a number of tax breaks that the feds will give you for using energy-efficient technology. Also, the Energy Star program points out other tax credits for green technology, including geothermal heat pumps, solar panels, solar water heaters, small wind energy systems, and fuel cells. Moreover, in the strictly business side of things there are tax credits for energy-efficient commercial buildings.

There are already tax incentives for using some types of computing technology. For instance, Wikibon Energy Labs lets storage vendors verify the energy savings of certain products, making them eligible for utility rebates from PG&E.
If we're providing tax credits for energy-efficient technology, then logically those using cloud computing should receive a tax break. This tax break should be pretty big, relatively to the benefit and the current tax breaks provided. Follow me here.
What's different here is the huge "green effect" of cloud computing, typically well beyond any of the "traditional" green technology out there, such as hybrid cars and sealed windows. In a recent study (PDF) sponsored by SaaS provider NetSuite, it was clear that cloud computing has an obvious green impact that's easy to account for. Even keeping in mind the bias of the vendor sponsoring the study, the data points seems logical.

Vulnerabilities of Maryland's Online Registration System Put Voters at Risk
SAVE our Votes (SOV) recommends that Maryland voters check their voter registration information to make sure that no one has tampered with it, following revelations that hackers could easily gain access to Maryland's new online registration system.
According to several nationally prominent computer security experts who recently wrote a letter to Maryland's State Board of Elections (SBE), the new online voter registration system has "severe security vulnerabilities" that "leave the system open to large-scale, automated fraud, and make the Maryland system among the most vulnerable of all states' new online voter registration systems." Voters could have difficulty voting on election day if their registration information was altered in certain ways.
SOV first alerted the State Board of Elections about the problem in August and then worked with computer security experts and election advocates from other states to develop recommendations to prevent, detect, and recover from potential attacks. The computer experts wrote a letter to the SBE in late September suggesting specific remedies election officials could put in place, both immediately and after the election. The SBE has never formally acknowledged receipt of nor responded to the letter, though it was discussed at the agency's September 27 meeting.
According to an article published last Friday in the New York Times, the SBE says it has checks in place to detect fraud. But the SBE does not acknowledge that legitimate transactions may be nearly impossible to distinguish from fraudulent ones, and that if problems are discovered in the polling place, procedures for resolving them must be outlined in advance.
SOV has held off from publicizing this vulnerability until after the close of Maryland's voter registration on October 16. Now the group urges voters to check their registration records online. Any registration changes not authorized by the voter, especially changes of address, should be reported immediately to the ACLU of Maryland's Election Protection Hotline at 1-888-496-2258, which will help voters work with election officials to ensure that problems are resolved.
SOV also urges election officials to put in place the following safeguards:
We sincerely hope that no one has taken advantage of this vulnerability to gain political advantage. But unfortunately Maryland has a history of deceptive leaflets, fraudulent robocalls, and other election malfeasance, so it is surprising that the SBE is not taking this threat more seriously.

Stop the reckless rush to internet voting
Help NEEDED: Maryland should follow the lead of other states and restrict the option of internet ballot delivery to military and overseas voters, groups that do not always have the safer options available to domestic absentee voters. Enforce state requirements for federal certification of all voting software and hardware, voter-verifiability of the official ballot, and protection of ballot privacy, which may be at risk with this system.
Prevent proposed restrictions on polling place transparency
Help NEEDED: Make office-holders, candidates, and parties aware of the proposed regulations. Submit comments during the public comment period in November.

A Hartford gas station clerk and customer narrowly escaped serious injury after a woman lost control of her car and crashed through the wall.
The incident was reported on the corner of Franklin Avenue and Warner Street early Monday morning, and the store's owner said he's relieved no one was seriously hurt, even though his business is a mess.
Isaac Boria said he was at the Select Gas Station just before 2 a.m. when the Acura crashed into the store.
"I try to climb up, trying to make sure everyone is fine, and I tried telling everyone to get back," he said.
Right before slamming into the building, the car crashed through a gas pump and caught fire.
According to police, the driver told them she was heading south on Franklin Avenue when her passenger suddenly told her to make a right-hand turn into the gas station. She did, but she couldn't handle the turn and lost control.
Sam Rizvi has owned the station for about 10 years and was sleeping when he got word of the incident.
"It's disastrous," he said. "I can't imagine somebody can do something like that. It's a mistake, but it's horrible."
He said he wants to reopen as soon as possible, but when he saw all the damage he realized that it may take some time before that happens.
"Nobody got injured," he said. "Especially the girl driving the car and the clerk that was working. That's all I worry about."
The clerk did go to a local hospital to get checked out after complaining of a sore lower back and hip.
The driver was cited for motor vehicle charges and interfering with police.

The chili supper starts at 4:30 p.m. and the auction will begin at approximately 6 p.m.
"This is one of our major fundraisers of the year," said Ruritan Club President Chuck Pepple. "We've been successful in the past, and we expect to have another big crowd this year. It's a good overall event for the community."
Proceeds from the fundraiser helps the club support various community projects such as the Bluford area food pantry, local schools, the Veterans Memorial and the Webber Fire Protection District, along with maintenance of the Bluford Ruritan Club building.
Merchandise for the auction is provided by Thomas Factory Outlet in Olney. Dagg's Auction provides its services for the auction.
The auction will feature a few big ticket items, such as curio cabinets, small China cabinets and hutches.
"That is in addition to all the other miscellaneous toys, tools, gloves, and candles. There's just a whole lot of different items that will be available," Pepple said.
One of the highlights of the auction will the raffle of a Henry Golden Boy .22 rifle. The winner of the raffle has the choice of taking the gun or $400, Pepple said.

Raffle tickets for a 50/50 drawing will also be sold.
"With the recent poor weather, this will give people an opportunity to come out of the cold, eat some hot food, and then get ready for Christmas by purchasing merchandise in one place," Pepple said.

16 texting-while-driving citations issued by CHP

Why are the fines and court fees so low? I would have expected something much higher based on the seriousness of the offense. If running a red light is what $250+ then the texting-while-driving should be at least that. $20 per offense is a joke!!
on Jan 29, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I also question the fine level. Especially given if one is texting and the cause of an accident. The litigation costs will be enormous! Better to resolve it before someone makes an attorney rich over texting stupidity.
on Jan 29, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I have seen so many drivers continue to talk on their cell phone and text while driving that it has made me laugh that they bothered with the law at all. The fact that the fine is so ridiculously low explains why their behavior has continued. I drove down Bernal last night and encountered 4 cars in a row - all on their cell phones - without "hands free". One in particular caught my attention because it was a very expensive maserati and the driver was using his Iphone while moving at the speed limit. Denting that car is a lot more to worry about than the $20.00 fine for getting caught!

MoSo IB 13
The 9th annual Mobile Social Interbike meets on Thursday 9/11 an hour after the show floor closes. Once assembled (about 6:30 PM) we'll ride the Strip to The Downtown Cocktail Room and The Beat Coffeehouse for beers, drinks, and lots of fun. Joining us this year @newbelgium, @ternbicycles, @Knog, @PureFixCycles, @revolights, @greengurugear, and you!
Fun Map
This year, around the block from the cocktails and coffee, is Las Vegas Pedalpalooza and the Crit.
It's gonna be one of those stays in Vegas nights on bikes… We'll ride, party, and then party some more.
Note that this is a long MoSo, so we'll get broken up by the lights. Don't try to regroup, just ride on and meet at the party. We'll see you when we all get there and will keep the beer cold.
As usual, the first 250 to RSVP get the schwag and drink coins. The details:
- Registration at 6:00 PM in the Mandalay Bay Parking Lot. Exact location TBA.
- Ride departs at 6:30 PM
- Ride ends at The Beat Coffeehouse & Downtown Cocktail Room Map
- New Belgium Drink Specials from 7-10 PM.
- Free drink coins and schwag for the first 250 registered riders.
- RSVP on Facebook or G+
For those new to the ride, this is a casual, social ride. We obey the lights, stick to one lane, and act like goodwill ambassadors during Interbike. Play nice with the cabbies and the rest of the drivers on the Strip think it's all part of the Vegas experience.
See you there.
And here's a edit from 2013.

When I pulled up lineups for tonight's matches, the first thing I thought was "shenanigans." Gerardo Espinoza is not included in tonight's Atlas lineup. He was listed as "questionable" earlier in the week, but I'm still surprised to see that Atlas's captain and arguably their best player is supposedly not included tonight. Luis Robles is set to take his place. Otherwise, they make no changes from the lineup they played against Queretaro. Necaxa have made no changes from the side that lost 1-0 to Tigres, with Dario Gandin starting the match on the bench once again.
Necaxa lineup (4-4-2): Perez / Ibarra, Cervantes, Quatrocchi, Castro / Barbosa, Salazaar, Perez, Silva / Suarez, Blanco
Atlas lineup (4-4-2): Pinto / Chavez, Vidrio, Conde, Paganoni / Flores, Ayala, Robles, Pacheco / Santos, Moreno
Necaxa are in desperate need of a win as they currently sit well behind their rivals for a relegation place. Their two losses were an awful start, since they'll probably need somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 points to stay up. Atlas are surprise table toppers, having won their first two matches. Fans were banned from their first two matches to different degrees due to fan violence, so this is the first match Atlas will play this year where the stadium had completely open doors.
Kickoff is at 9:10 pm ET on Azteca America and ESPN Deportes.

Sort of a canning question
Bought a jar of spiced, i guess sort of pickled green beans. Well, ate all the beans and wondered if it's ok and safe to get some frozen green beans and put them into the juice in the jar. Hoping the juice will flavor the beans as the original ones were but dont want to die or get sick with this. Thanks BTW, these were great, Tabasco brand, spicy hot beaans. yum
Re: Sort of a canning question
It will work with fresh beans (never tried it with frozen). Keep it refrigerated. Hope this helps. Thanks; Virginia
Re: Sort of a canning question
Thanks Virginia, Guess without fresh beans around, I'll take a stab at using the frozen. Just eat a few at a time and hope the belly does ok.

The Giants lost starting CB Terrell Thomas to a season-ending torn ACL in the final minute of the first half of the team's 41-13 preseason win over Chicago on Monday night.
Thomas was hurt as he was blitzing Bears QB Jay Cutler. He initially stumbled as he planted his right foot, according to the New York Daily News, and then he collided with teammate Jason Pierre-Paul, whose leg appeared to strike Thomas on the side. It wasn't initially known whether the stumble or the collision with Pierre-Paul caused the torn ACL.
Thomas had moved past former first-round draft pick Aaron Ross into the starting lineup and appeared to be headed for a big season. Now Ross will regain his starting role.
The Giants also had lost 2011 first-round pick Prince Amukamara after surgery on a broken foot that is expected to keep him out until at least September.
The way we see it
The loss of Thomas is a huge blow to a Giants defense that was hoping to bounce back strong after ranking only 17th in points allowed during 2010. The team's depth at corner will take a hit, especially if Amukamara isn't able to come back soon from his surgery.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) -- New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez will campaign in Nevada this weekend for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The Romney campaign announced Thursday that Martinez will appear at three events Saturday in the Las Vegas area, starting with a rally at Romney's state campaign headquarters.
Martinez, the nation's first Hispanic female governor, will greet voters at a campaign office in eastern Las Vegas and there will be an event in the suburban community of Henderson.
The governor fluently speaks Spanish and could help Romney reach out to Hispanics, which account for 27 percent of Nevada's population. Nevada doesn't reliably vote Democrat or Republican, and is considered a battleground state in the presidential election.
Martinez joined other GOP governors in August at a campaign rally for Romney in Colorado.
