Dundee-Crown's Brandon Rodriguez takes a shot over Huntley's Amanze Egekeze during the first half at Dundee-Crown High School in Carpentersville on Saturday, February 9, 2013. | Erik Anderson~For Sun-Times Media
Dundee-Crown halted Huntley's 29-game Fox Valley Valley winning streak Saturday night, defeating the Red Raiders 47-38 in Carpentersville.
Back-to-back three-pointers from Dylan Kissack and Brandon Rodriguez gave Dundee-Crown the cushion it needed as the Chargers moved one game behind in the league standings.
Clinging to a 36-34 lead following a three-pointer from Huntley's TJ Adams, the Chargers were in danger of coughing up the lead when a driving Cordero Parson found Kissack in the corner for a three-pointer.
"I knew that we needed a little answer, a little boost, and Cordero drove and drew my defender and when he kicked it out to me I was ready to fire," said Kissack.
On the ensuing Red Raiders possession, Rodriguez came away with a steal and without hesitation drove down and drilled a huge three-pointer to give the Chargers control of the game.
"Big steal, big shot," said Rodriguez. "We just wanted to take it to them. We gave it our all and played our hearts out. It's been a long run but we finally beat them."
Huntley (15-7, 9-1) could have wrapped up the FVC Valley title with a victory.
"We've had some real doozies with them the last few years. They do a great job and Marty does a great job coaching them and I was just really proud of our guys tonight. They did a great job executing," said Dundee-Crown coach Lance Huber.
The Raiders now hold a one-game lead over the Chargers (17-5, 8-2) with two conference games remaining for each team.
The game was a dogfight from the get-go, as neither team held a lead of more than five points until the Chargers opened things up late. And open looks were hard to come by on both sides.
Huntley held a 17-15 lead heading into halftime and the Chargers took their first lead of the second half when Jack Buckley hit a layup to make it 25-24.
They built their lead to 36-31 and they wouldn't trail the rest of the way, as the three-pointer from Adams cut the lead to two, but would be as close as the Raiders would get.
Kissack led the Chargers with 14 points and five rebounds, while Rodriguez had eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter. JT Beasley added 11 points and six rebounds, and Parson chipped in six points.
Huntley was led offensively by 6-foot-7 Amanze Egekeze, who tallied 10 points and nine rebounds. Bryce Only and Tommy Regan added eight points each.
The Raiders shot just 15-of-44 (34.1 percent) from the floor on the night as they missed a number of easy baskets inside early on.
"Missed layups. Period," said Huntley coach Marty Manning. "We missed 15 layups, and when you do that you don't deserve to win. Defensively we played well enough to win, but unfortunately in the game of basketball you actually have to put the ball through the hoop."
The Chargers have now won six straight since losing 45-38 to Huntley on Jan. 19, while the Raiders will look to start a new streak and lock up the conference title with games against Jacobs and Cary-Grove next week.

Police Dogs get the better of Frank Mir, Forrest Griffin, Stephan Bonnar and Dan Hardy at the 21st Annual K-9 Trials.
Mir got fat…and looks like he's hitting the hgh
People who think they can kill dogs easily bear handed or think they can outrun them simply never saw a real k-9 dog.
What?! are those pups? our police dogs are a lot more vicious!
in my country dogs die from hunger
We humans are some slow, soft, little weak pussies. Hell, even a house cat could do some heavy damage if it really wanted to kill you.
Theres very little you can do against a k-9 except for go for the eyes
AC/DC suck… ruins this video
Let one of dogs bite ur flesh with those top and bottom 2 inch fangs, see how much of a pup those things are…
bite him in the nose
Actually, you can kill dogs bear handed, even K-9 ones. I'm not going to say it would be easy or that you wouldn't get bit or be bleeding during the scrimmage but rear naked chokes also work on dogs and if I'm fighting for my life against a vicious dog I'd try me best to kill it. Scary s***.
whether its a dog or a human, if its wearing the badge it should be taken out
Yes, they are young dogs….
where are you Coutura?

10/27/05 - Hams Across America [link to this story]
Somehow, somewhere I stumbled across the image at right which, if you click it, takes you to more detailed version. If that one's not big enough, try this one.
The map is the stellar work of Hamcall.net, which boasts the largest and best-kept database of amateur radio operators by callsign available online (and would never condone unlicensed operation, of course).
The next step of coolness would be animating this map over time. I wonder if they have similar maps of previous years.
10/25/05 - Guerrilla Radio, Deep and Wide [link to this story]
Pirate radio embraces the guerrilla motif: attack, disappear, reform, repeat. Several years ago it flared, made headlines, and a bit of history, but then subsided. Now things are at a healthy simmer again, and this time on more than one dial.
On the enforcement front, although the FCC still cares about pirates, activity on all three major bands (AM, FM, and shortwave) is evident. A recent story in the Boston Globe profiled several AM pirates operating there. The FCC took up the issue of LPFM in part because of pressure from committed microbroadcasters; could there be similar motivations at play in its new LPAM rulemaking? Shortwave pirates, who haven't seen enforcement action in six years, are downright cocky.
Then there is FM, where the bulk of the action still happens. New stations are born every month and new tactics are being developed to minimize the risks involved. More importantly, there's evidence of new operations rising from the ashes of old: a sure sign that roots are down.
Kevin Martin has been reshuffling staff at the FCC since he assumed the Chairman's office in March. Times like these sometimes provoke a change in stance against electronic civil disobedience. However, this particular iteration of government can't crack the guerrilla problem in other contexts, so I doubt it'll find much luck here.
10/23/05 - Low Power AM Petition for Rulemaking Accepted at FCC [link to this story]
RM-11287 is a multi-party petition that calls for the opening of the AM band to small broadcasters. Two of the five parties involved also filed the original petition for rulemaking that led to LPFM's conception.
This has been a long time coming: citizen interest in LPAM has percolated since the 1990s, and there's been open discussion of the idea since at least 2002. In 2003 a respected broadcast engineer submitted a proposal to the FCC which called for the creation of 30 and 100-watt "neighborhood radio" AM stations with 1-5 mile broadcast ranges. The FCC never formally acknowledged receipt of this document. In 2004 efforts were made to revive the proposal, to no avail. Building on these previous efforts with copious field experimentation led to the petition the FCC finally accepted.
RM-11287 attempts to differentiate LPAM from LPFM in several respects. The most significant is its commercial nature: LPAM seeks to "fill the current gap between small stations and megacorporations...where mid-sized businesses used to be" in the broadcast industry. Petitioners contend that while LPFM addresses a "community coverage gap" opened by the consolidation of radio since 1996, "[t]here remains, in radio and in other mass media industries, a separate, but similarly dangerous, 'small business gap'" which "harms the nation by hindering economic growth and also by limiting the free flow of information and ideas." It is proposed that one entity may own up to 12 LPAM stations nationally, although no more than one in any given market.
Multiple options are presented for the technical requirements of an LPAM service, with power levels ranging from 1 to 250 watts. All are geared toward keeping administration of the service simple. It is believed that under such conditions LPAM stations may provide opportunities for access to the airwaves that LPFM simply cannot: for example, according to cited analysis from REC Networks, metropolitan Detroit is currently off-limits to LPFM, but as many as four possible LPAM frequencies exist in the city.
Some components of the petition, like asking the FCC to make licensing decisions between competing applicants based on their proposed broadcast content, will simply not fly. And given that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires the FCC to auction off all commercial broadcast licenses, implementation of the proposal as written would require the blessing of Congress. But the fact that the FCC is at least open to a rudimentary level of discussion about LPAM is encouraging. Comments on RM-11287 are due in mid-November (on or around November 20).
10/21/05 - Salem's Open-Source Broadcast Software [link to this story]
While updating the Schnazz last I stumbled across an interesting arm of Salem Communications Corporation, America's largest religious broadcast conglomerate (humble, tolerant, and generous). Salem Radio Labs, the company's in-house radio software development arm, walks the talk. It's built solutions for automation, live-assist, audio archiving and call screening from scratch, all under the open-source GNU General Public License.
Says the Labs FAQ, "we're broadcasters, not a software company, and we believe that the fastest, most efficient way to produce quality software tools for broadcasting is by means of the Open Source development model." The programs are optimized for the SuSE Linux distribution but other flavors are available.
10/17/05 - Former Pirates Represent via Satellite, Streaming [link to this story]
With risk comes reward? According to the Radio and Internet Newsletter, a former Twin Cities pirate takes the top spot ratings-wise for stations on the Shoutcast network. The two streams of Jeff Bachmeier's "Club977," whose name is an homage to the frequency he used to occupy, attract an online audience comparable in size to what the market-leading radio station in Madison, WI might draw.
He's not the first to cross over: Alan Freed, formerly of Beat Radio fame, now programs three XM satellite radio dance channels and shows no signs of slowing down.
More generally, both follow somewhat in the footsteps of Allan Weiner, now laying it down full-time on shortwave. The British government once milked its pirate scene to launch its national pop radio network. They're all signs of the phenomenon's maturity.
10/16/05 - Radio Algiers Update [link to this story]
The station's now regularly broadcasting from Common Ground on 88.7 FM. It has one main (75-watt) and one backup (40-watt) transmitter and is also reliably streaming online (direct links: mp3 / m3u). I had best luck listening by copying and pasting the stream links directly into player software.
The city's power grid still has its flaky moments but otherwise it seems things are relatively stable now. I've heard interviews with people arrested in crazy-cop curfew sweeps, Slave Revolt Radio, and some excellent music. A recently-installed phone line will go a long way toward opening up the information flow.
Efforts are already underway to expand the microradio presence in the area. This may include seeking extraordinary permission to start a licensed LPFM station (current FCC rules don't allow it in the city proper). There appears to be lots of interest in radio among the various forces massing to take their neighborhoods back before opportunistic gentrifiers get too far along.
10/15/05 - Truthful Translations: 400 and Counting [link to this story]
There's more in the hopper, too. The collection's closing in on a gigabyte and a half; I haven't bothered recently to add up the cumulative listening/viewing time. Many thanks to all the artists who help make sense of political speech and are willing to share the sanity.
Culture jamming in the brave new world is alive and well, thanks for asking. So as long as sentiments like those expressed recently by Milton Rand Kalman of the Billboard Liberation Front continue to exist there should be little worry.
"It's really fun to be like a paramilitary art squad," he said. "Have you ever broken the law? I mean, not just like jaywalking...really broken the law, like, stepped way over? It's awesome." Amen.

10/6/05 - Rayon Payne Free, On Hunt for Open Mic [link to this story]
I recently got an e-mail from Rayon Payne (aka NSX), who made U.S. pirate radio history in 2003 by becoming the first person to serve time behind bars on a federal criminal conviction for unlicensed broadcasting. He just got out of jail in July. We ended up talking for nearly two hours:
Hi-bitrate version (64kbps MP3, 51.2 MB)
Low-bitrate version (16kbps MP3, 12.8 MB)
Some salient bits:
Payne started 95 Live out of frustration with the inability to get his music on the airwaves of Orlando, Florida. That frustration ultimately led him to throw up a 10,000-watt middle finger to corporate radio. Payne knew the massive amount of power he was running caused interference problems, but he says he was learning the ropes of RF engineering as he went along. This did not stop him, however, from securing commercial-grade (read: type-accepted) equipment from several reputable distributors.
Payne adopted the notion of using a web stream as a studio-to-transmitter link long before the idea gained tactical currency. In fact, 95 Live's genesis was on the web, not the air. Payne says he helped start several other pirate stations around the country to carry 95 Live's stream and amplify its reach (quite literally).
Payne's had several run-ins with local law enforcement, all of which he attributes in part to his operation of a pirate station. It's a long and convoluted saga, over the course of which his most notorious (felony) convictions have been overturned.
The FCC, it seems, didn't even decide to throw the book at him until after he'd already been sentenced to state prison on other charges. This fits the agency's m.o. of going after easy targets and prosecuting for deterrent (as opposed to actual) effect.
Payne accuses the federal government of mistreatment while in its custody prior to his conviction, as they moved him from institution to institution all around the country (including a stint in solitary in Atlanta).
Most ironically, he's now seeking a gig in commercial radio, either with one of the major broadcast conglomerates (Clear Channel got specific mention) or on satellite; presskit and demo CD are forthcoming. He'd also like to resurrect the 95 Live online presence in authentic form but the domain's apparently been hijacked.

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
This amp is plenty loud for professional stage use. It's "crunch" channel can be tailored for use as a clean channel with plenty of head room, with the overdrive channel as your std. dirty channel. I am impressed with the variability of good tones in between clean and totally saturated, and would like to see a three or possibly four channel model in the future. I've had no problems dialing in the clean-volume to dirty-volume for live use, and should be a breeze to record as well. Although the stock Chinese tubes are a little thin sounding (as to be expected), less than a hundred will get you a full bank of warmer, fuller tubes to compliment this amps design. For the price, I don't know how you could beat this little amp. Two thumbs up!

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
Got this baby last week. It was boxed really well, cradled in white spongy foam. Has a bold sound which is kind of unique. The fit and finish is really good, and the cabinet material is very good. The cabinet is excessively big for a 20 watt head though. This amp is really easy to use as it doesn't have too many knobs and switches. For someone starting out and wants a good sound this is all you will need.

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I'm one of those older guys who always had tube amps back in the 70's and I was always trying to find some solid state amp that could recreate that warm natural tone and distortion. I just wasn't willing to pay thousands for that sound. this is by far the best amp I've heard for the sound I have been searching for. The price is incredible. I can get all I want out of the crunch channel but it you want to blow someones head off or make your dog run for the door you always have the overdrive channel. My only concern would be quality (will it last?) but I guess for this price it won't be the end of the world if it blows up. I did have to re-seat the tubes because when I turned up the volume the sound kept cutting down but one of the tubes had just become loose during shipping. If your looking for that natural distortion just by turning up the volume for a cheap price this is a great amp.

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I was really floored the first time I heard this amp. Having owned a '79 Marshall 50 Watt JMP Head, a JCM 800 Head, JCM 900 Head, JMP-1 Preamp and a First Generation 5150 Head, I can say guitarists have never had it so good with the JCA22h. The beauty of this amp is it's simplicity, it takes no time to get great tones out of this amp. Even just leaving the bass, treble and mid at noon sounds good and is a great starting point for dialing in your tone. My question was, is it loud enough for shows? And the answer is yes, this amp cooks and at 4 you can really hear how good this amp sounds. More gain than I need, I keep it at about 6, anymore than that and it sounds compressed. 2 awesome channels with three basic sounds: Clean, Crunchy and Hot SLO like Sound. I parted with a Marshall preamp for this baby and I have no regrets. It's good simple, analog driven tube tone. Run it through a 4x12 with celestions and you can really push some air. What's crazy is the price for this amp, it's a steal and you'll want to throw out your junky digital pedals because you dont want anything interfering with this tone machine. I run analog pedals through the awesome effects loop and it's quiet. Don't hesitate, these amps will go up in price.

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
The only thing this head dosen't do well is, super clean. With that said I love the clean sound on this amp. The first channel can do it all with your guitars volume pot. Then the second channel is there for over the top super fun to play. I've had a million high priced amps and they're cool for impressing people but really not needed any more this amp is fantastic on gigs(I'm in a three pieace clasic rock blue band) and great for lower volumes at home. If you're a marshall guy you'll love this little crunch monster.

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
This amp sounds sweet out of the box. It's a little too wide to fit on an upright 212 cab and needs reverb. I recovered mine to resemble my long gone SLO 100 done with python skin. I run an old Alesis reberb through the loop and a wah on the front end. I couldn't be happier with the tone. The clean ch. breaks up nicely when pushed and both channels are attack sensitive and responsive. Six amps to choose from at home and this one gets the nod nine times out of ten. 22 watts are adequate for smaller venues. Mic up a cab when you are in larger spaces.

Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
Pure tone. Very versitile. Some may complain that there isn't much clean headroom, but hey, it's a 20 watt tube amp with plenty of tone and thats why I purchased it! I don't know how else to put it. Hours upon hours of tweaking and jamming have put me to this conclusion... This has been the best thing that has happened to my tone in 15 years! Very inspiring to plug into this amp.

...more gain than I will ever use on the overdrive channel, so far it is rockin the studio, next LIVE gig will be interesting, playing thru a Marshall 1966 4-10 cab, LP and strat n tele...
Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I'm very happy with it. At first I wasn't sure. It sounded kinda fizzy and bright, but the tone controls are very interactive and after spending a good bit of time with it over the weekend I've found how to dial it in to my exact liking.
Basically the JCA20 with an added high gain channel and FX loop. Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence and Preamp Gain controls. Everything you need. Doesn't have reverb but thats not a deal breaker for me.
Its built solid. I haven't looked around inside the chassis yet, but from what I've heard it was built right. It comes with cheaper Chinese tubes, but what can you expect. They have to cut costs somewhere and its pretty cheap for a full re-tube on a 20 watt EL84 amp. I ordered some JJ EL84s and a mix of Russian 12ax7s, but the stock tubes don't sound bad at all.
At this price point you can't ask for any more. It blows the other amps away in its class with ease. The Rebel 20 for example has some neat features, but up against the JCA22h in the tone dept it falls short. The Rebel 20 may do well at the Brit flavored classic rock type stuff, but so does the JCA22h and it also does high gain exceptionally well... 80s metal to modern high gain. Enough gain on tap that you won't need a boost if you so choose.
Comments about Jet City Amplification JCA22H 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I own Marshall and Mesa amps and have been a working musician
for 20+ years. I have compared the tones and dialed in settings
that are comparable to my hot rodded vintage Marshall.
This amp will serve you well if you:
- Change the tubes ( fixed bias )
- put a line boost in the fx loop for leads
- Keep the gain at about 4 on both channels
- Master volume at atleast 4 to really get the tubes working.
- Keep the front end signal clean. Wah is good, a Tubescreamer sounds great also.
Throw out your MetalZone , Line 6, and other bad sounding pedals.
I'm sure at this price this amp will attract many new guitar players looking
for affordable gear. It's a great choice. Just keep it simple. Too many
pedals, especially straight in, will muddy up your tone.
It should be good to be true....but all I can say is wow!
The Jet City line peaked my interest a while back,
but a single channel amp with no fx loop wasn't practical.
I gig around 40 weeks a year in small/medium/ and large
The JCA22H has given me a really good tone,
Great volume control and a very portable set up.
Built like a tank.
Changed all the tubes to JJ's.
Mostly preference,
but I kept the Chinese tubes as spares,
they sound decent, but give the amp a bit more hiss.
I have never bought any gear made in China,
but this amp seems solid.
It's a straight ahead tube amp, without all the
ic chips and other goop that will break or malfunction

A few VERY TINY nuts and a .4-.75" cam placement (TCU, Alien, or something narrow) are about all you can get. The nuts will be about as good as they are big. The cam will be OK, but not great.from the top of "the business" of the route, you will need a #3-4 BD or equiv. for a directional before finishing to the left or right. You might TR the route from an anchor on the face well above + a directional a the top of the arete (small nuts + long sling).

Lonestar to Perform at 2013 Cattlemen's Ball
Organizers of the 2013 Cattlemen's Ball have announced that country music superstars Lonestar will be the featured performers during this year's event, scheduled for June 7-8, 2013, at the Hanging H Ranch between Paxton and Sutherland, Nebraska.
The Cattlemen's Ball is the state's premier fundraiser for the fight against cancer, with 100% of the dollars raised staying in Nebraska. The 2013 Cattlemen's Ball is being held on the Hanging H Ranch on U.S. Highway 30 between Paxton and Sutherland, Nebraska, and is being co-hosted by the Ralph and Beverly Holzfaster family and the Neal Hansen family.
Celebrating their 20th anniversary and reuniting with original lead singer Richie McDonald, Lonestar is known for merging their country roots with strong melodies and rich vocals. Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of ten million album units since their national launch in 1995 and achieved ten #1 country hits including "No News," "Come Crying To Me," and their crossover smash "Amazed" (which was also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first record since 1983's "Islands in the Stream" to top both charts). The band's awards include a 1999 ACM Single of The Year for "Amazed" (the song also won the Song of the Year award) and the 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year.
The Cattlemen's Ball is hosted by a different Nebraska ranch or feedlot every year. Its mission is to raise money for cancer research at the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center, while showcasing rural Nebraska and promoting beef as part of a healthy diet. Since its inception, the Cattlemen's Ball has raised more than $6.3 million. In addition to providing funds to the Eppley Cancer Center, a portion of the funds is also targeted for local healthcare organizations.

Lions head coach Jim Schwartz is adamant in standing behind his young players, most notably Matthew Stafford, and he's very wise to do so.
Schwartz: Lions' Stafford healing very well
Lions head coach Jim Schwartz told PFW last week that QB Matthew Stafford is healing well following arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in December.
Lions could use 'extra' linebackers more
The Lions are not expected to make wholesale scheme changes on defense, but there could be a way to enhance the productivity of the unit using parts that already are on the roster.
Lions expecting far more from Derrick Williams
The Lions hit on several draft picks as playing time for youth was readily available this season, but third-round WR Derrick Williams was a disappointment.
Stanton wants chance to be Lions' backup QB
QB Drew Stanton felt as if he was railroaded by media members as the Lions cleaned out their lockers this week and stresses he wants to remain in Detroit.
Lions' Cherilus facing crucial offseason
ORT Gosder Cherilus hasn't fallen completely out of favor with the Lions' brass, but it's clear he needs a strong offseason to enter 2010 as the clear-cut starter.
Tulloch is probable for Monday night's game in Chicago.||||||| Tulloch is second on the team with 34 tackles.
Tulloch was fined $21,000 by the NFL for a flagrant foul last weekend.||||||| Tulloch was docked for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Tennessee tight end Craig Stevens.
A person familiar with the deal says the Detroit Lions and linebacker Stephen Tulloch have agreed to a five-year contract. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the transaction hadn't been announced.||||||| Re-signing Tulloch was one of the Lions' top priorities this offseason. They extended Calvin Johnson's contract, retained Cliff Avril with a franchise tag and re-signed Jeff Backus and Shaun Hill. The only player Detroit wanted back that won't return is cornerback Eric Wright. Tulloch made a team-high 111 tackles with the Lions after signing a one-year deal last summer. He led Tennessee in tackles the previous two years after being drafted by the Titans in 2006.
Tulloch has been fined $15,000 apiece by the NFL for a horse collar tackle during last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings.||||||| Tulloch leads the Lions with 97 tackles.
The Titans have offered a tender to restricted free agent Tulloch.||||||| The Titans tendered a contract at a first-round level to make it pricey for any other team to sign him.

I wonder if he stopped by Bob Jones University on the way out, just for equal time, you know.
Dont understand the reference to Bob Jones Uni.... Is this an American non-Catholic organisation?
My formerly catholic PD husband pointed out (correctly) that the Vatican actually is it's own country and the Pope was it's head of state.

The fiscal 'cliff' brings much concern to the CSRA. FOX54 spoke to local officials and even to some members of Congress for answers.
City Administrator Fred Russell is one of many addressing his concern about the fiscal 'cliff' but says Augusta is prepared.
"You've got 200,000 people in Augusta that don't really know what's going to happen tomorrow," said Russell. "We're pretty well braised, our local economy has done ok, the city itself has no debt so we don't have to worry too much about the interest rates there or anything at this point."
However, an over-arching question remains.
"Eventually people are going to have to recognize they are going to have compromise on some things," said Russell.
A compromise that is still being negotiated. FOX54's Elizabeth Rawlins placed calls to Capitol Hill for a better idea of where Congress stands.
Congressman Paul Broun (GA-10) said the wait, is the Senate trying to make a decision. If nothing happens after midnight, Congressman Broun said there will be consequences.
"They are going to cause businesses to close, they are going to cause people to not be hired," said Congressman Broun. "With the increase taxes and the fiscal 'cliff' as well as increased taxes from Obama care, those two things are going to put many people out of work in the CSRA."
Later Monday afternoon, Senator Johnny Isakson told FOX54's Elizabeth Rawlins there is still a possibility to have a decision before midnight. Senator Isakson said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell laid out the framework both sides may agree upon.
The chances of it happening, Senator Isakson believes is worth sticking around for.
"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't still confident that we could get it done,"said Senator Isakson. "If I didn't think we could get it done, I'd probably be headed home like everybody else but I'd say it's a 60 percent chance we will probably get it done tonight."
The Senate reached a compromise late Monday night and the House will vote on it today.

Past politicians leveled with the America people such as Jimmy Carter. Winston Churchill managed to convey bad news and be inspirational while he did so.
Winston Churchill during World War II promised the British people that much hardship lay ahead, not the usual way for a politician to inspire. To claim Ron Paul is doing the same thing is stretching Churchill's message quite a bit, yet he is the closest thing there is to Winston Churchill in the 21th Century.
Jimmy Carter leveled with the American people on what he considered grim news on the environment as he raised the gasoline tax. Al Gore likewise had some grim news.
If one steps back one would realize that the environment, the debt and the economy are all serious problems. Ron Paul is a conveyer of bad news who at the same time allows the listener to feel good about themselves.
Both Ron Paul and President Obama don't play the blame game. From a distance one might claim that Ron Paul blames the Fed. But it is the Fed system he doesn't like, not spreading hate toward specific Fed officials. I wonder how many people are mad at both Obama and Paul at the same time for taking a lot of solidarity feelings, (or wet against the world) out of politics and international affairs.
There is a lot of scapegoating, blame whites and the other ways around. Blame the Muslims. Blame the Hispanics. Ron Paul goes along with the idea of a tight border without inspiring hatred of Mexicans, or that closing the border would give people their jobs back. Some Hispanics like that Paul would have this country interfere less in their internal affairs.
Again unlike other Republicans Ron Paul doesn't claim that if it weren't for an evil person in the White House, Americans would have their utopia back. He, unlike the others, doesn't spread hatred toward the President.
Without Paul, the Republican race would be between who could praise Israel the most and condemn Iran the hardest. War would be closer. Magically cutting more taxes on the rich would give people their jobs back.
President Obama's first instinct is to compromise. If Ron Paul does well Obama's compromises will be more positive. Obama likes to befriend his opponents and take them into his administration like he did Hillary. Most Republicans snarl at his every overture. Ron Paul as part of Obama's second term might stop Obama from constantly promising a better world real soon and get the Obama administration to start dealing with long-term planning.
If Ron Paul became President the economy would likely be already a disaster; and one total outsider with no seasoned advisers would have trouble doing anything. Obama of course would be willing to offer help without sabotaging the Ron Paul administration.
Ron Paul with his honest mouth brings reality to every thing he says. How is any US politician going to stimulate a lot of jobs next year if Europe is without them, without just giving out paychecks, then finding make-work assignments.
Almost all politicians including progressive ones try to create an image without saying anything specific that might turn someone off, unless they are in the middle of a scapegoating frenzy.
Politics is not only supposed to be a game for the purpose of choosing who will lead. But where people discuss the issues and hash out solutions with each other.
Obama's politics of hope makes one sit back and let Obama do ones thinking and create solutions for the rest of us. If the Presidential race becomes Paul vs Obama perhaps even Obama supporters will learn how to think again.
A few more specifics at the following sites,
Thank God that America had its forefathers and American has Ron Paul. Instead of giving donations to President Obama to prevent someone far worse taking charge, give them to Ron Paul to make Obama a better President, and to make Obama supporters and the supporter of other candidates start thinking for themselves again.
Richard Kane
Sometimes links can be googled.
Please keep it in mind that Ron Paul is NOT a member of the 99%! He's a 1%er through and through and has ZERO sympathy for the people who are not pulling in at least $100 million a year. When we were all engaged in Occupy Philly, Ron Paul made no bones about it, he was completely on the other side.
And Yes, even on war and foreign policy, Paul still votes the wrong way more than half the time.
I completely lost all sympathy for Ron Paul when it came to the aide of his who died, leaving the hospital $400,000 in the hole. A true mensch would have paid that off and would have proved that he meant what he said, but Paul isn't one of those, so he didn't.
Rich who would you prefer Santorum? Who shows his love for the poor by wanting to cut foods stamps? And Christs love with bombs similar to al Qaeda spreading Allah's compassion. Romney's religion demands that he not criminalize immigrants but also that he hate Muslims.
Ron Paul made his email list available to a sick staffer to pay hospital bills. As John Edward's discovered campaign funds is not money to spend as a candidate sees fit. I wonder if Paul is slipping some money to relatives instead of publicly giving to the hospital?
Obama was evenhanded on Israel until the Israeli lobby called him antisemitic for it. I long for the day that Obama starts compromising with Paul. Maybe Obama already has by not yet bombing Iran
Santorum's also a dog, he's just a dog with different fleas. What on earth makes you think that supporting ANY Republican is in any way necessary or required or needed?
For Paul to make his email list available is all very fine and well and nice, but why didn't he conduct a separate campaign for his staffer? Why didn't he make an appeal with the explicit provision that money that went for his sick friend would not have anything to do with his presidential campaign? Yes, some of his other staffers took up a separate collection on their own and paid off about $32,000. The point is that Paul claims that we are all responsible for our own medical bills, but he then blew off paying a bill that his philosophy demands he should have shouldered. The fact that he didn't pay it means that all of his grand and noble principles are just so much hot air.
Progressive people either support Obama or suddenly will have nothing to do with him, with no possibility of becoming swing voters, the group that decides elections. There is no on-line progressive petitions demanding that Obama do a specific thing or
we won't support you, so Obama the champion compromises can only compromise with others.
When Cheri Honkala tried to speak before Occupy Philly, the response was we don't participate in dirty politics. Finally she was allowed to speak in turn as another individual.
Kathy Boockvar ran for PA Commonwealth Court Judge after being both a public defender and a labor lawyer. Anne Covey spent her whole career helping business interests, but Occupy Philly and Pittsburgh was yawing on election day.
I don't buy Ron Paul's belief that people back in the 17th century had all the right answers. But it makes 99% more sense, than ending taxes for the rich will suddenly put people to work again. He is stopping the hysteria that it is all the immigrants and or liberal's fault. And as said before it gives President Obama something different to compromise about.
When I first clicked on today I got other sites but when I clicked on
I at first go website can't be found if anyone else had to keep trying I hope they post the problem.
If you've been following my thinkpieces on centrism and Blue Dog Democrats (See PRAWNBlog - this link will get all the pieces that are tagged "Blue Dog Democrats"), you'll be aware that I have an extremely sour attitude towards those "Republican-lite" guys and the whole theory of centrism in general.
The lesson that I believe Obama took away from the debt-limit fight in late August was that playing to the political middle and appealing to middle-of-the-road voters was a complete waste of time. Obama then smartened up and has been visibly leaning towards progressive positions ever since. Occupy Wall Street, of course, helped this trend along enormously and today, the President's polls are better than ever.
The way to appeal to the centrist voter is far simpler than politicians have been trying to do it for the past two decades. The best way is simply to succeed in making good policy. the way to do that is to adopt good positions. Your political opponents don't like those positions, tough luck! Do it anyway and see how it works out.
The economic policy of austerity has failed miserably in its stated intentions. It's time, not to make some compromise with the proponents of austerity, but to throw that policy out root and branch and to establish Keynesianism as our economic policy.
Update: See now this is the proper strategy for Obama, heck, for Democrats in general, to always take under all circumstances.
People need to be inspired Kennedy inspired by claiming to create a better and better America. Roosevelt inspired before my time, I of course don't know but suspect I would appreciate something similar today. Some feel inspired because they are white or black or they are part of stopping the foreign hoard from invading our borders, or the Muslims from supposedly taking over the world.Maybe Ron Paul's returning to what America's founders thought is a cheep prop. Maybe they had something precious that the rest of the world needs to learn from. Maybe it is a little of both.
If Ron Paul is preventing a new Roosevelt from seizing the wealth from the rich, then Rich Garden you might have a point. But a new war against the rich can be fail as easy as it could succeed, and I don't see Ron Paul making people happy that the rich around the world keep getting richer. Of course a new Hitler might inspire against the Hispanics and ideal eaters, and I think Ron Paul is in the way of a new Hitler not some kind of catalysis in that direction.
I want society's wealthier members to be brought under control. I want them to be part of small "d" democratic society, to not be like Medieval Barons and Lords and Counts and Dukes. Ron Paul is not a significant obstacle to a new Hitler, nor do I think he would be a significant enabler of a new Hitler. To assign him such a role is to inflate his importance vastly beyond any realistic measure.
In my mind Paul is wrong on the Immigration issue, but gets in the way of the belief they are causing our problems and closing the border will give us our jobs back.
On abortion he gets in the way of the claim that only the supporters of Satan support abortion.
Ron Paul is stimulating thought such as no one else. Most who can themselves Ron Paul supporters disagree with him in some way, and don't think of themselves as less of a supporter for doing so,
Ron Paul belongs to the Kucinich wing of the Democratic Party,
Oldie but Goodie,
Newt Gingrich calls Mitt Romney a liar. The really fun part of the featured video is the body language of the co-hosts as Gingrich makes it clear that he's quite seriously and unapologetically calling out Romney for blatantly and fraudulently lying.
Now, notice that unlike RichardKanePA here, I don't feel the need to glorify or romanticize Gingrich just because he makes a politically useful statement. The piece I've linked to doesn't make Gingrich out to be any sort of moral or principled politician, Gingrich's statements just make him noteworthy and a useful guy to have around
Interesting candidates....Obama might still win then.
I just hope that the next US President can make American families live a better life.

With the short-season minor leagues opening play next week, this seems like a decent-enough time to review the team names that are changing this season. It's a short list, but it would have taken me forever to compile. Fortunately, I asked a friend who's also an expert and he sent me the four teams ...
Casper Ghosts move from Casper, Wyoming to become Grand Junction Rockies in Grand Junction, Colorado. (Rookie Pioneer League)
This is just terrible news, just terrible. We're losing the Casper Ghosts? Along with a pretty nifty logo and those glow-in-the-dark caps?
Well, the Ghosts didn't draw enough corporeal fans last season, averaging just over 1250 fans per game. That was not the lowest figure in the short-season Pioneer League; the Helena Brewers averaged fewer than a thousand per game. But it was low enough to endanger Casper's position in the league. And when Grand Junction came a-calling ... well, the minor leagues are a business, too. It's a real shame, though.
Carolina Mudcats move from Zebulon, NC to Pensacola, FL and become Pensacola Blue Wahoos. (Double-A Southern League)
What's a Blue Wahoo? Turns out the wahoo's a fish, and quite a fighter at that. Here's their logo.
It's really a shame to lose the Mudcats, though. Their longstanding logo has been, for many years, one of the best (and best-selling) in the minors. You just hate to see it go aw- wait, what? Oh ...
Kinston Indians move from Kinston, NC and become Carolina Mudcats in Zebulon, NC. (High-A Carolina League)
How convenient (and confusing). Maybe Zebulon just wasn't a Double-A town. I'll bet it's a pretty good High-A town, though. And I'll bet they keep selling a bunch of t-shirts.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will play all games on the road in 2012 due to ballpark construction. Their name for 2012 only is the Empire State Yankees.
The Yankees are playing more than half their home schedule in Rochester, and also playing a bunch of "home" series against International League hosts Syracuse, Buffalo, Lehigh Valley (Allentown) and Pawtucket, in those teams' ballparks. However, it seems they've kept the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in their official name this season (for example, in yesterday's official game story) and I can't find any Empire State Yankees merchandise at the team's official site ... though there are plenty of Empire State items available at Rochester's Web site. Go figure.
Oh, and my friend who supplied that list? His name is Tim Hagerty, he's got a silky-smooth voice, and this season he's calling games for the Pacific Coast League's Tucson Padres. More the point, he's got a new book that's a great deal of fun:
Here's more about the book, including ordering links. Tell 'em I sent you.

San Luis city council pushed on park smoking ban

SAN LUIS -- A community in southwest Arizona may ban smoking at all city parks.
The Yuma Sun reports that San Luis city council is being pressured to consider an ordinance that would prohibit smoking in city-owned parks and athletic fields.
Members of the South Yuma County Anti-Tobacco Youth Coalition appeared before the council recently to push the proposal.
Mayor Gerardo Sanchez made no promises that the council would adopt what would be the first smoking restriction of its kind.
The south Yuma County group is part of a statewide coalition of youths who oppose tobacco use, and its efforts are sponsored by Campesinos Sin Fronteras, a San Luis-based non-profit organization.

BALTIMORE, MD (WAVE) – The man who heads the Louisville Archdiocese will have some additional responsibilities after being chosen by his fellow bishops to lead them.
Archbishop Joseph Kurtz was chosen from 10 finalists to be president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The position gives Kurtz, who was the sitting vice president of the organization, a direct line to the Vatican as the spokesperson for the U.S. bishops.
Kurtz, 67, was installed as the fourth Archbishop of Louisville in August 2007. He had been the Bishop of Knoxville since 1999.
Kurtz received 53 percent of the ballots during the first round of voting that took just two minutes to complete. He will serve a three year term replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Cardinal Archbishop of New York.
Elected as vice president was Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
Kurtz will take office at the close of the conference on November 14.

Five people were hurt -- one critically -- when a vehicle hit a veterinary clinic in the Northwest Side Avondale neighborhood Friday night.
The vehicle hit Animal Ark Veterinary Clinic, 3235 N. Kedzie Ave., about 6:30 p.m., officials said.
At least one staff member among those injured, said Jennifer Landini, a practice manager at the facility.
"We had to move all our animals to another facility because we have no gas, no heat," Landini said. "We're all just trying to figure out our next steps."
There were 15 animals inside the clinic. None were hurt, but the clinic is unable to operate, she said. The animals have all been taken to their sister clinic, officials said.
The driver told police she hit a pothole and lost control of the vehicle, police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala said. Four people in the car, all women and girls between 14 and 22 years old, were taken to area hospitals, he said.
Some people were in the waiting room at the time of the crash, and five people were taken to local hospitals, Fire Media Affairs Chief Juan Hernandez said.
Two people hurt in the crash were taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, one in serious-to-critical condition and another in fair-to-serious condition, Hernandez said.
Two other people were taken to Presence Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, one in fair-to-serious condition and another in good condition, Hernandez said.
A fifth person went to Swedish Covenant Hospital in fair-to-serious condition, he said. He could not immediately say if they had been in the building or in the vehicle.
Chicago Police are investigating the crash, and inspectors from the city's Department of Buildings are also being called to evaluate the structure.
Anyone interested in helping the clinic should contact its sister facility, Heal Veterinary Clinic at Irving Park Road and Rockwell Avenue, Landini said.

CROWN POINT — Mr. William Claude Whittemore, also known by his family as "Billy", 65, of Ferry Road, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013, at Fletcher Allen Health Care.
He was born in Ticonderoga, N.Y., on Nov. 6, 1947, to Donald and Lula Mae Whittemore. He grew up as a child on Buck Mountain in Crown Point, N.Y., with his grandparents and later moved to Danbury, Conn., before returning later in life to the Adirondacks.
Bill was known for his sense of humor; being a listener of country music especially Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash; watching parades; and being the heart of barbeques and parties with family and friends. He enjoyed spending time with his brother, Trustan, going fishing and reminiscing about their childhood. He particularly liked to be involved with the local volunteer fire department where he was inducted as an Honorary Member.
He was predeceased by his grandparents, Claude and Della Whittemore; parents, Donald and Lula Mae Whittemore; Sister, Della Louise Whittemore; Uncles, Sherman Whittemore and Charlie Whittemore; and Aunts, Francis Christian, Marion Lee, Helen Dushane and Joyce Barnaby.
He is survived by his Brother and Sister-In-Law, Trustan and Gail Whittemore; Aunt, Ruth Whittemore; Uncle, Gerbert Barnaby; and Nieces, Robin, Lucy and Valerie Dufault.
Friends and relatives are invited to call from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013, at Harland Funeral Home, Port Henry.
Family would like to express their appreciation to all of the staff and physicians at Moses Ludington Hospital.
There will be a funeral service beginning at 10 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 21, 2013, at the First Baptist Church, Ticonderoga, and the burial will be at the family plot at the Ironville Cemetary, Ironville, N.Y., beside his sister, Louise.
Memorial contributions can be sent to the Ticonderoga Volunteer Fire Department.

Delicious! I've made this several times. I always add fresh pineapple rather than the canned pineapple.

I made this for a Christmas party I host each year and it was a big hit. I found cinnamon/sugar tortilla chips to serve with it to make it a time saver.

It's the day before the MLB All-Star Game. Which means it's the second-deadest day on the sports calendar, after the day following the MLB All-Star Game. There is nothing of any consequence taking place today, but there are a bunch of journalists and bloggers who need to earn their paychecks, which is why you've been reading about All-Star Game starting pitchers and lineups. It's also why you're reading about today's Home Run Derby. The Home Run Derby doesn't matter for beans, but it matters the most of anything that's happening today, because it's up against nothing, so we have to talk about it. This is another article about the Home Run Derby, and I apologize, or, you're welcome.
I don't know how most people feel about the 2012 Derby, because I'm not familiar with most people, nor do I care how much people care about something I don't care about. But what I have seen is some talk about how it's too bad that Giancarlo Stanton can't participate due to injury. The Home Run Derby isn't just about home runs -- it's about gigantic home runs, home runs you can't forget, and Stanton is a mammoth dinger machine. Players don't hit home runs like Giancarlo Stanton hits home runs, and his presence could've made this Derby a little more watchable.
But I'll tell you what -- Stanton might not be healthy enough to participate, but his American League equivalent very much is. By whom I mean Mark Trumbo, who's taking part in the Derby in just his second full season in the bigs. A year ago, Trumbo was brand new, and he had 17 dingers to his name at the break. This year he's got 22 and a reputation, and he's my great hope. I have no choice but to watch the Derby because of my job, and Trumbo's the guy I'm looking toward to make it all worthwhile.
I think it's interesting that Stanton is probably the more well-known of the two sluggers, not because Stanton isn't deserving of recognition, but because Stanton has played with the Marlins. Do you know anything about Josh Johnson or Anibal Sanchez? Of course you don't. You don't even know anything about Jose Reyes anymore and he used to be a big-market superstar. Miami swallows up attention before it can escape the city limits. Mark Trumbo plays near Los Angeles, or, as the Angels would say, in Los Angeles. Trumbo is under-appreciated for what he is. I think. This isn't scientific.
And what he is is a hell of a slugger. A pure, classic slugger, who hits home runs that ought to have nicknames. Are you familiar with Isolated Slugging Percentage? It's just Slugging Percentage minus Batting Average. Measure of power. Since the start of the 2011 season, Trumbo's posted baseball's eighth-highest ISO, and that's while playing half the time in a pitcher-friendly ballpark. Just this season, Trumbo's ISO ranks second, behind a guy who plays in a bandbox.
Trumbo swings hard, and he hits far. The average home run this year has traveled about 396 feet. Trumbo's already hit ten dingers at least 430 feet. And the power seems to come so, so easily to him. Here's an example dinger swing:
Just so easy, so smooth. People talk about pitchers like Matt Moore who seem to have easy velocity. Trumbo has easy strength, such that he can swing like that and have the left fielder act like this:
Trumbo really is a sort of AL Stanton equivalent. He's older, but he's less experienced, and they both strike out and sometimes walk and hit the ball like there's a drought and they need to make it rain. Like Trumbo, Stanton would probably also be a lousy third baseman. You'd rather have Stanton on your team than Trumbo on account of the youth and the ceiling, but Trumbo has turned into an offensive terror right after the Angels moved to block him with Albert Pujols.
And what might be most terrifying about Trumbo is the way he doesn't need pitches to be grooved to launch them somewhere else. A map of his home runs from the last year and a half:
That's pitch location, with the gray box representing some approximation of the strike zone. Trumbo's hit a home run on a pitch about a foot off the ground, and he's hit a home run on a pitch about four feet off the ground. Here's that second pitch:
The pitcher was Jim Hoey. I don't know anything about Jim Hoey, but now Jim Hoey knows something about Mark Trumbo. That pitch was inside, at the letters, and Trumbo still hit it harder than Ben Revere has ever hit anything.
What this is about, in general, is Mark Trumbo being better than you probably think. Instead of regressing in 2012 like so many of us analysts expected, Trumbo's kicked it up several notches, confounding the hell out of us. He presently owns a .965 OPS. Trumbo's a beast. What this is about, specifically, is how Trumbo might be the brightest light in tonight's Home Run Derby. He hits the sort of home runs that make you make faces, and he can hit home runs on just about anything near the plate, meaning he won't need his Derby pitcher to groove everything he throws. Nobody likes watching hitters take pitches in the Derby, and nobody likes watching hitters miss home runs, or hit them barely. Trumbo probably won't take many pitches, and there probably won't be anything "barely" about the homers he hits, unless you mean they barely stayed within the actual stadium.
Maybe I'm wrong. I could easily be wrong, because while the Home Run Derby lasts forever, individual rounds go quickly and Trumbo might not find his happy place. He wouldn't be the first premier slugger to disappoint. But of the entire pool of participants, I think Trumbo has the greatest potential to make this a Derby to remember. That's one tall task, but Trumbo's a pretty tall guy.
