Sooey! Obama urges Texas to mimic Arkansas
Obama, speaking in Dallas, said a million Texans "could get health insurance right away" if the state expanded Medicaid via Obamacare. Arkansas, he said, "reduced its number of uninsured by 14 percent -- already, just in the first month -- by signing people up for expanded Medicaid." See how we rate his Texas claim and a version of his Arkansas claim that we'd already checked.

Two portraits flank the doors leading into Canada's House of Commons: Sir Robert Borden to the left and W.L.M. King to the right. While each man appears flatteringly stern, wise, and charismatic, it is the portrait plaques that are of particular interest. Borden's caption reads: "World War I War Leader, 1914–1918," while King's caption is similar: "World War II War Leader, 1939–1945." No other dates are given.
Perhaps that definition makes sense for Borden, who did little of note before the war; it does not ring true for King, Canada's longest serving prime minister. Yet in both cases world wars shaped their careers and legacies. They ushered in massive government changes: income tax, health care, and conscription; changes to society through industrialization, enfranchisement, and patriotic unpaid labour; and they raised enormous armed forces from a civilian base.
Warlords is a fast-paced narrative that humanizes the war effort through the eyes of the prime ministers. Set against how our senior politicians governed themselves and the nation during these difficult times, it offers an invaluable perspective of war and war leaders.
Featured in our 2012 e-sampler
Read an excerpt | More Previews »
he man who led Canada during the Great War came from
the village of Grand Pré, Kings County, Nova Scotia. Born
on June 26, 1854, into a loving if not wealthy family, Robert
Laird Borden was anchored to his community. After he left to find
success, he often looked back on Grand Pré with affection: "In all
my journeyings throughout Canada and elsewhere in the world,
I have yet to see any spot more beautiful than that which is still
enshrined in my earliest memories."1
Such thoughts may not have preoccupied the younger Borden. Robert was an intense and serious youth, rarely known to joke or play games. While he helped his father, Andrew, work the farm, neither were men of the soil, and Robert admitted that he never mastered "the mysteries of building a load of hay," and found hoeing vegetables "extremely disagreeable" and the sawing of cordwood for winter fires "unpleasurable."2 He resented the work, partly because it took him away from his studies.
Robert's mother, Eunice, was an avid reader, and there were rousing discussions of literature and politics in the house. Such talk stimulated the boy, and his parents often found him next to the fireplace reading late into the night, embers smudging his books and clothes. The emerging scholar was so dedicated to his studies that he drew up charts to schedule his day more effectively, which elicited some jibes from his normally compassionate mother. His younger brother, not nearly as gentle, teased him about the schedules that allotted time to reading, study, and even bathroom breaks. It is not surprising that Robert did well in school. He taught himself Latin and Greek, but was drawn to the law, which was a good fit considering his nature. The Bordens, however, could not afford to send him off to university, and he seemed destined to be a small-town teacher, a profession he had already entered at the tender age of fourteen.3
Although he liked the title "The Professor," bestowed on him by students in one of the single-room schools where he taught, Robert understood that teaching in rural Nova Scotia would leave him with few opportunities for advancement, either professionally or socially.4 So in 1874 he began four years of...

Schmaltz sentenced to prison for manslaughter
A 22 year old Minatare man convicted of manslaughter in the death of a Gering man in a rollover accident last July has been sentenced to two to three years in prison. Scotts Bluff County District Judge Randy Lippstreu sentenced Drew Schmaltz for the death of 21 year old Taylor Magdaleno before a packed courtroom of family and friends.
Lippstreu said Schmaltz, who had a previous drunk driving conviction when he was 18, should have seen the "reasonable foreseeable consequence" to driving drunk in a pickup loaded with friends on a county road. Four other passengers were injured, but were eventually treated and released from Regional West Medical Center. A fifth passenger was not injured.
Lippstreu noted Schmaltz's blood alcohol content was .182, well over the legal limit. Lippstreu said he reviewed four other local cases involving teens, drunk driving and a death and noted there was only one of them, involving a 16 year old in juvenile court, that received probation. He said to sentence Schmaltz to probation would depreciate the seriousness of the crime.
Schmaltz told the court "it has been the toughest time of his life." after losing his best friend and going to prison for evaluations. He said it "has opened my eyes not to take life for granted." He then turned to the those in the courtroom and said he was "sorry for all the pain, hurt and suffering" and thanked them for "the support, love and mercy shown me."
Defense attorney Andy Snyder pleaded for probation, maintaining Schmaltz was not someone who needed to be protected from society and had begun a non-alcohol lifestyle, said he was not surprised by the sentence given the four cases noted by Lippstreu. Snyder said Schmaltz was ready to accept responsibility for his actions, was remorseful, and would come out of prison a person ready to lead a "productive life".
Scotts Bluff County Attorney Doug Warner said Schmaltz should have known the danger and consequences of driving drunk on a county road at night after a previous drunk driving conviction. Warner said when Schmaltz did not learn lessons about the consequences the first time, it "raises concern about safety".

EYEWITNESS SPORTSWVU Tops Duquesne; MU Loses In OT To Morehead State
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Josh Lewis
Videographer: Courtesy Root Sports/AJ Good
November 17, 2013
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. -- Eron Harris and two other West Virginia players scored their career-highs Sunday to beat Duquesne 96-83.
Harris scored 33 points, Juwan Staten scored 28 and Devin Williams, a true freshman, finished with 18, supplying 79 of the Mountaineers' point total and avenging a 2012-13 season loss against Duquesne.
The Dukes had dealt West Virginia a 60-56 defeat in Pittsburgh, and the Mountaineers went on to finish 13-19 for the 2012-13 season.
Harris, a sophomore connected on 12-of-19 field goals, including 6-of-8 from behind the 3-point arc and pulled down six rebounds against Duquesne (1-2). Harris' previous best (25 points) came on Feb. 27, 2013 against Baylor.
Staten connected on 7-of-11 field goals and hit a career-best 12-of-17 free throws for West Virginia (2-1).
Williams scored 8 of 10 on field goal attempts. He grabbed 10 boards in just his third game all-time.
Duquesne closed to 75-71 with 7:30 left, but Harris and Terry Henderson knocked down triples to send the Mountaineers ahead 81-71. The Dukes put two scorers in double figures-Ovie Soko (19) and Dominique McKoy (13).
West Virginia had the first half in hand 49-39 with 11 seconds left-but Duquesne sharp-shooter Micah Mason accomplished a four-point-play to cut the Mountaineer lead to six at intermission. WVU's largest lead was 17 at the game's 2:20 mark.
The Mountaineers shot 33 of 56 from the field (59 percent) and had only eight able-bodied scholarship players for the game. West Virginia is 67-3 at home against non-conference teams in the last nine years, including 48 of its last 49 games.
The Mountaineers are 99-6 under Coach Bob Huggins when posting a higher shooting percentage than its opponent. Duquesne was 45.5 percent (30 of 66) from the floor.
For Huggins, it was his 725th all-time win against 287 losses. Those 725 put him ahead of Ray Meyer for 18th place all time among NCAA Division I coaches. Huggins is the third winningest active head coach behind Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim.
MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Brent Arrington and Bakari Turner each scored 24 points as Morehead State overcame a 21-point deficit to beat Marshall 102-94 in overtime Sunday.
Leading 94-93, Chad Posthumus grabbed an offensive rebound off a miss by Turner and was fouled by Elijah Pittman. Posthumus converted two free throws to start a 10-1 run by the Eagles to close out the game.
Kareem Canty's 3-pointer with a minute left in the first half gave Marshall a 21-point lead, its biggest of the game, 48-27. Morehead State (3-1) closed the half with a 6-0 spurt to head into the break trailing 48-33.
The Eagles held 16-8 advantage on the offensive glass and outscored Marshall 21-3 in second-chance points.
Posthumus scored 14 points and pulled down 15 rebounds, seven offensive.
Elijah Pittman tied a career-high with 31 points for Marshall (2-1). Kareem Canty added 19 and nine assists but had nine turnovers.

Color as described. Fits iPad well and protects investment.
It is a good cover. The problems with it are : it does not hold the ipad very sucrely within the cover and when held in landscape it sometime slides out the the groove. The color is great.
Bought this for my granddaughter for her new Ipad. Was not sure what to expect for the low price but was definitely surpised to see how nice it was when it arrived. It is a nice pink color, has a bumpy leather surface which looks more like "real" leather. Inside is very soft pink suede. I checked the rotating back to make sure it worked and it did. The black stretch band is added security to make sure it stays shut when carrying it. Love the black and pink combo. This is a great buy and I know she will love receiving it as a gift. Thanks Overstock!
This is the second one of these case so I have purchased. The first on started cracking on the corners within two weeks of use. I was still able to use it but feared it might not hold the iPad since two of the corners were now gone. I ordered this one hoping they had improved the quality of the leather and plastic and this one started peeling and cracking within two days! They call this leather but the interior is more like fuzzy paper and the "leather" is so thin that it peels off right away. I guess. Go what I paid for since it was quite cheap but I thought I was getting a quality product that was "on sale". I would not recommend this unless you just need something cheap for a while. The one good thing is that it does stand up well when in the landscape position. I like the design but not the quality of workmanship. I feel the description was deceptive regarding it being "leather".
This is a very cheap product. Overstock then proceeded to try to get me to buy their postage for *** when the shipping to get here was less than **** I have been displeased with most of the products I have purchased from overstock.com. I don't know if I will even take the time and trouble to return the product . *******
Quick and easy transaction. The product was as nice as it looked.
It isn't the best or most durable cover I have used but it is nice and thin and lightweight. The big test will be how long it lasts but I am overall very happy with it for the price!
I ordered the wrong size, I needed the Ipad Air, but if it was the right one I probably would have kept it.
I bought this to replace my Incase that had cracked in the corners. I couldn't be happier with it. Quality construction and materials at a phenomenal price. Thanks again, Overstock!

Gillian has been hard at work. As a result of the time spent at Rip's we took time to reflect on our training routine, where we have come from, where we are, and where we are going. The result of all this was this Article. It's a look into Gillian's training life in her own words.
Today was a good day for Gillian. Front squat 97Kg for a single, (PR), snatched 54Kg (tied the garage PR), and then did an 70Kg Clean and Jerk every 90 seconds for 15 reps. This was followed up with another 90Kg front squat.
Solid day, lots of fun.

– Department for Transport statement
The deal to build 1,140 new carriages for use on the Thameslink rail line came a step closer to completion today as the Department for Transport confirmed its decision to award the £1.6bn contract to a consortium led by train manufacturer Siemens.
Before the contract award can take place there will now be a pause known as the Alcatel standstill period which will last at least ten days.
The £1.6 billion rolling stock project is part of a £6 billion upgrade to radically increase capacity and reliability on one of Europe's busiest stretches of railway.

Earthwork Volume using Simpson's Rule
Step by step procedure to find out the volume of earthwork using Simpson's Rule
This article is about using Simpson's rule to find out the quantity of earthwork using contour maps. The procedure is explained with the help of an example. In the example given below the map is divided in to 6 horizontal and 6 vertical grids each of 5m interval. The reduced levels are given at the intersections.
Suppose the final level for filling is 24.1m. Then the required depth of filling at each point is as given in the table below
The area on the side of each grid can be found out as follows
Each side can be considered as a trapezoid. Hence the area of each side
eg: (0.98+0.97)/2 x 5 = 4.875
(0.80+0.80)/2 x 5 = 4.000
Now the volume according to Simpson's rule is as follows
eg: (4.875+3.375)=8.25
4 x (4+3.75+3.925)=46.7
2 x (3.575+3.875)=21.65
Total = 76.6
Total earth filling volume = 373.83 x (d/3)
=373.83 x (5/3) = 623 M3

After the Pruitt Igoe E.P, Kangding Ray returns with his third album for raster-noton, pushing further his explorations on the edge of digital and analog sounds. With OR, Kangding Ray continues to blur the borders between experimental and bass music, and brings his signature sound to another level, somewhere at the darkest fringe of club culture.
With the massive metallic beats of « athem », the frightening distorded waves of « Mojave », the elevated groove of « Odd Sympathy », the modulated guitar walls of « Leavaila Scheme », or the low-bitrate Everest of « La Belle », KR creates deep atmospheres, loaded with echoes of collapsing economies, dysfunctional political systems, and corporate alienation.
In an abstract manner, OR depicts the desillusions of modern civilizations, while initiating a positive reflection on crisis as a creative state.
OR (« gold » in french), as the only chemical element that seems to keep its value for eternity, refers to the cult of endless consumption and the absurdity of fluctuating currency valuations, while in english, as a logical operator or grammatical conjunction, OR represents the possibility of another choice, an « inclusive disjunction » which suggests that there might be another answer, a different path to follow.
Noticeable inputs have been provided by Ben Frost, who composed a keyboard line for « Or », Rose Tizane Merrill who lend her voice to the anarchist poem « Monsters », and Magne Mostue who wrote the words and sang on « Coracoid Process » as well as the vocal version of the prophetic electronic mantra « Pruitt Igoe ».

WASHINGTON — Monday the Air Force Global Strike Command Programming Division published commentary claiming that slain civil rights leader and proponent of nonviolence Martin Luther King would be proud of a team commandeering the military's nuclear-capable assets. The command's ethnic, religious and socioeconomic diversity, presumably deduces commentary author Mr. Warren Ward, would outweigh any concerns by Mr. King that the vast technological enterprise could capably end the lives of all people on earth.
Mr. Ward writes:
Dr. King would be proud to see our Global Strike team — comprised of Airmen, civilians and contractors from every race, creed, background and religion — standing side-by-side ensuring the most powerful weapons in the U.S. arsenal remain the credible bedrock of our national defense. . . [ellipses AFGSC's] Our team must overlook our differences to ensure perfection as we maintain and operate our weapon systems. . . Maintaining our commitment to our Global Strike team, our families and our nation is a fitting tribute to Dr. King as we celebrate his legacy.
This is not the first time that Defense Department officials have tried to co-opt the legacy of the slain civil rights activist to forward the cause of military operations following his death. At a press conference January 13, 2011, then Defense Department General Counsel Jeh Johnson, who heard Mr. King speak in person, said, "I believe that if Dr. King were alive today, he would recognize that we live in a complicated world, and that our nation's military should not and cannot lay down its arms and leave the American people vulnerable to terrorist attack." Mr. Johnson acknowledged Mr. King's opposition to America's involvement in Vietnam but claimed that contemporary military theaters constitute involvements with which Mr. King would have had special sympathy.
In analysis of Mr. Johnson's remarks, Terri Moon Cronk for American Forces Press Service wrote, "[Mr.] Johnson said today's service members might wonder whether the mission they serve is consistent with King's message and beliefs."
Quoting pieces of Mr. Johnson's remarks, Ms. Cronk continued:
"The question is not, 'If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?' The question is, 'If I do not stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to them?'"
Johnson compared today's troops to the Samaritan, who chose to help instead of taking an easier path.
"I draw the parallel to our own servicemen and women deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, away from the comfort of conventional jobs, their families and their homes," Johnson said."
"Every day, our servicemen and women practice the dangerousness — the dangerous unselfishness Dr. King preached on April 3, 1968."
Mr. Johnson further said that day, "Those in today's volunteer Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps have made the conscious decision to travel a dangerous road, and personally stop and administer aid to those who want peace, freedom and a better place in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in defense of the American people. Every day our servicemen and women practice that 'dangerous unselfishness' Dr. King preached on April 3, 1968."
That evening in 1968, while giving his famous "Mountaintop" speech, Mr. King allowed his imagination to expand on the text of Luke and ponder the motivations of those two Hebrews who ignore the victim of robbers.
Mr. King said:
It's possible that the priest and the Levite looked over that man on the ground and wondered if the robbers were still around. Or it's possible that they felt that the man on the ground was merely faking. And he was acting like he had been robbed and hurt, in order to seize them over there, lure them there for quick and easy seizure.
If we expand on Mr. Johnson's take on the "Moutaintop" address, and the former general counsel's drawing a parallel between the robbers, Pashtun and dissident militias; U.S. service people and the Good Samaritan, Mr. King would have intended the Samaritan to search nearby hills to capture or kill the robbers so that they did not trouble another traveler. If Mr. Johnson's metaphor for the Afghan and Iraqi conflicts is naturally expanded in light of Mr. King's speech, whether apparent Afghan and Iraqi victims are genuinely seeking "peace, freedom and a better place" should have remained suspect to American service men and women.
Of course Martin King's legacy borders on an intensely critical eye towards U.S. military involvement overseas, repeatedly denouncing those who would decry a role for America as the world's "police men." His actual statements reveal a man who talked in absolute terms about violence and nonviolence, not in relationship just to the Vietnam War but to humanity's longer-term plight and condition. Also in the "Mountaintop" speech Mr. Johnson referenced was this claim by Mr. King:
Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.
A year before that speech, on April 30, at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. King would lay out his specific rationalization for opposing the war in Vietnam, the conditions of which stand in the face of the conflict in Afghanistan and a global annihilation strike force, whose technological prowess dwarfs any of the late 1960s.
Said King:
I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money, like some demonic, destructive suction tube. And you may not know it, my friends, but it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only $53 for each person classified as poor, and much of that $53 goes for salaries to people that are not poor. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor, and attack it as such.
Mr. King wrote that the violence pervading America's inner cities drew ferocity from the death tolls the U.S. government threatened or did visit on millions of people in Vietnam. Today the U.S. government has legislatively enshrined the practice of killing minor citizens without trial, and a tolerance for murdering children reigns in the new, glorified technological wonder of drones, which have since replaced the vast carpet bombings of Vietnamese civilians. Mr. King rejected those bombings as evil.
Mr. King further said:
As I have walked among the desperate, rejected, and angry young [American] men, I have told them that Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action; for they ask and write me, "So what about Vietnam?" They ask if our nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without first having spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence I cannot be silent.
He added, "[T]he Vietcong, or to Castro, or to Mao, as a faithful minister to Jesus Christ . . . [,] can I threaten them with death, or must I not share with them my life?" What Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro and South Vietnam's National Liberation Front had in common were much larger threats and actualizations of democide. Yet in the face of disenfranchised Islamist extremists, the Air Force Global Strike Command and Jeh Johnson would have the American people believe that Mr. King would have celebrated the maintenance and deployment of nuclear weapons, in addition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How could the legacy of a man, who leaned quite nearly into pacifism, be thought of as pro-interventionist war? How has his legacy been co-opted by the huge defense establishment of the United States? How has this symbol of defiance and subversion become understood as an enemy of a state's enemies?
To this end Internet Chronicle readers should look to 20th century French philosopher Roland Barthes' and his dissection in Mythologies of a piece of 1950s nationalistic propaganda, a cover of Paris-Match, a publication incidentally still in print.
Wrote Mr. Barthes (see Page 116) in 1955, "On the cover, a young Negro in a French uniform is saluting, with his eyes uplifted, probably fixed on a fold of the tricolour [French flag]. All this is the meaning of the picture. But, whether naively or not, I see very well what it signifies to me: that France is a great Empire, that all her sons, without any colour discrimination, faithfully serve under her flag, and that there is no better answer to the detractors of an alleged colonialism than the zeal shown by this Negro in serving his so-called oppressors. I am therefore again faced with a greater semiological system: there is a signifier, itself already formed with a previous system (a black soldier is giving the French salute); there is a signified (it is here a purposeful mixture of Frenchness and militariness); finally, there is a presence of the signified through the signifier."
This week the Air Force has tried to contrast its organization's relatively sexist and (internally) racist practices from the '60s, Mr. King's world, with that of today. Mr. King signified equality in a sense in the '60s and in the modern '10s. However, it is by forwarding this image of Mr. King as a symbol of equality that the Air Force's article seeks to whitewash his image as a proponent of nonviolence, as an enemy of militarism, as an advocate against a philosophy of retaliation.
As Mr. King said in an April 30 1967 speech at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, "When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, militarism and economic exploitation are incapable of being conquered."
Indeed, maintaining a commitment to one's nation, to the exclusion of other nations, touted by Mr. Ward flies in the face of the Ebenezer speech's "call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond one's tribe, race, class, and nation" and "call for an all-embracing, unconditional love for all men."
Anecdotes evincing the inappropriateness of the Air Force's most recent appropriation of Mr. King's legacy flow freely, including this example from Riverside Church, New York City on April 4, 1967, in which he unequivocally said, "War is not the answer," speaking not just of the Vietnam conflict but war in general. He added. "Communism will never be defeated by the use of atomic bombs or nuclear weapons." It was in that same speech that the southern reverend saw a fork in the road for human beings between "nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation." Violence and coexistence have no apparent ready place in the rhetoric of Mr. King.
Barthes, again in Mythologies, wrote: "[T]he signifier already postulates a reading, I grasp it through my eyes, it has a sensory reality (unlike the linguistic signifier, which is purely mental), there is a richness in it . . . the Negro's salute" is a credible whole, at its disposal "a sufficient rationality. As a total of linguistic signs, the meaning of the myth has its own value, it belongs to a history, that of . . . the Negro: in the meaning, a signification is already built, and could very well be self-sufficient if myth did not take hold of it and did not turn it suddenly into an empty, parasitical form. The meaning is already complete, it postulates a kind of knowledge, a past, a memory, a comparative order of facts, ideas, decisions. When it becomes form, the meaning leaves its contingency behind; it empties itself, it becomes impoverished, history evaporates, only the letter remains. [emphasis, mine]"
With respect to the Paris-Match cover Mr. Barthes adds: "[O]ne must put the biography of the Negro in parentheses if one wants to free the picture, and prepare it to receive its signified."

Police Trained to Treat Keystone XL Protesters as 'Terrorists' (View TransCanada's PowerPoints)

It's often difficult to gauge just how much fear activists instill in the powers that be. But on Wednesday, environmental activists protesting the Keystone XL pipeline saw firsthand how much TransCanada, the corporation in charge of the pipeline, is shaking in its boots.
Bold Nebraska, a grassroots landowner advocacy group, obtained TransCanada's presentation slides (below) via a Freedom of Information Act request to the Nebraska State Patrol. These slides revealed that TransCanada provided training to both federal and local police forces on how to crack down on environmental activists, even going so far as to train them to arrest the activists under anti-terrorism statutes.
Lauren Regan, legal coordinator for Tar Sands Blockade and executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center said, "This is clear evidence of the collusion between TransCanada and the federal government assisting local police to unlawfully monitor and harass political protestors."
According to a 350.org press release the slides were presented last month in Nebraska, althought they date back to December, 2012. They specifically call out Occupy Pipe, Occupy Houston, STOP, Rainforest Action Network and Tar Sands Blockade in their presentations, which create an overall narrative that the activists are criminals and terrorists who need to be stopped.
One slide even has photos and descriptions of the "professional organizers" in a "most wanted" fashion:
Scott Parkin, an organizer at Rising Tide North America and campaigner at the Rainforest Action Network, who was listed on this slide, told AlterNet: "It's pretty appalling. … They want to paint us as terrorists and make people scared of us."
To the contrary, Parkin said, the activists—some of whom are grandparents— are not a bunch of crooks working underground. They are very upfront about their goals and work with landowners.
The slides describe the movement as "lead by professionals and organized." They report that Tar Sands Blockade "appears to be well-funded" by "Large and small donation from individuals." Under a slide titled, "Protestor Tactics," TransCanada states the activists "suddenly show up, driving to the entrance of site. Could be five or fifteen or more in several vehicles."
Under a slide titled "Protestor Motivations," TransCanada implies that these activists are just protesting because that's what they do. One bullet point simply quotes an activist saying: "I have been an activist for fifty years. I am seventy," obviously side-stepping the activist's true motivations for wanting to stop the Keystone XL pipeline.
Further slides list the activists' "criminal activity," to which Tar Sands Blockade responded on their site:
Although TransCanada's presentation to authorities contains information about property destruction, sabotage, and booby traps, police in Texas and Oklahoma have never alleged, accused, or charged Tar Sands Blockade activists of any such behaviors. Since August 2012, Tar Sands Blockade has carried out dozens of successful nonviolent direct actions to physically halt construction of the Keystone XL pipeline in Texas and Oklahoma. All of these acts, as well as every pipeline protest in Nebraska, have maintained strict commitments to nonviolence.
Another slide lists all of the laws the activists can supposedly be found violating, and a presentation suggests that the activists are planning "terrorist acts," and can thus be charged via anti-terrorism statutes:
According to the presentation, there are eight signs of terrorism, including "surveillance," "suspicious persons" and "terrorism funding."
Ron Seifert, a spokesperson for Tar Sands Blockade who was pictured in the slideshow said: "Try as TransCanada might to slander Tar Sands Blockade and our growing grassroots movement, we know who the real criminals are. … The real criminals are those profiting from this deadly tar sands pipeline by endangering families living along the route and pumping illegal levels of air toxins into fence-line communities."

Skiing in Uspallata
Skiers bound for Mendoza's resorts arrive from early July through September at the airports of Mendoza or San Rafael (the latter for Las Leñas only). Los Penitentes is a medium-size ski area that attracts mostly Argentines, particularly Mendocinos who can drive up for a day. Vallecitos, the province's oldest ski center, is where most Mendocinos made their first turns.
Los Penitentes. Popular as a day destination for Argentine skiers, this uncrowded ski area, 153 km (95 mi) northwest of Mendoza on Ruta Nacional 7, is named for the rock formations that resemble penitent monks. Despite the elevation of 2,580 meters (8,465 feet) at the base and 3,194 meters (10,479 feet) at the top, the snow here is often thin. When it does snow, the danger of avalanches is severe. The base village has hotels, restaurants, bars, discos, medical services, a ski school, and guides. Facilities: 700-meter (2,300-foot) vertical drop; 300 hectares (741 acres); 20% beginner, 30% intermediate, 50% advanced; two double chairs, one T-bar, five surface lifts. Cross-country ski trails, extreme and off-piste snocat skiing, sledding, and pato (snow polo). Lessons and Programs: Ski school, mountain guides, and a children's school and day care. Lift Tickets: Adults 135 pesos a day. Rentals: Rental shops at the base area. Mendoza. 261/429–9953. Daily Mid-June to late August.
Vallecitos. Situated at 2,900 meters (9,514 feet) in a glacial valley of the Cordón de Plata range, 80 km (50 mi) from Mendoza and 26 km (16 mi) from Potrerillos, this small ski area owned and operated by Ski Club Mendoza has great off-piste skiing. Facilities: 400-meter (1,312-foot) vertical drop; 100 hectares (247 acres) of skiable terrain plus unlimited out-of-bounds skiing; 20% beginner, 50% intermediate, 30% advanced; three double chairs, one single chair, three surface lifts. Rentals: Equipment rental and sales at base lodge. Av. Acceso Este 650, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, 5507. 261/312–799. Daily July 1–Sept. 30.

Thanks, 3SK. Good stuff.
After that...If I were a betting man...I would slap some $ down that if TR is there @ #5..we take him.
Yeah, but chace, there are lots of ways to improve the running game. For example, you might add the best guard in football. You might work with LeGarrette Blount. You might draft a guy in round 2. People are making too much out of NFL boiler-plate. He's may not deliberately laying a smoke-screen, but I also doubt he's going to tip his hand.
I see a new thread in the making...
LaCanfora reports, "I hope to hear from NFLPA by end of the week regarding their recommendation for player penalties from the bounty case" [Commissioner Goodell]

We weren't exactly skeptical, but we were surprised early this year when new construction at 705 26th (5br/4ba, 4875 sq. ft.) was listed, during the framing stage, at $3.599M.
In a post in February, we tried to look at some comparable heights hit in past years. Mainly we saw similar new construction hitting $3.2M-$3.375M at the peak of the mid-2000s bubble.
Most of those homes we not near the plus-plus size of 705 26th, where the basement added about 1300 sq. ft. above the other properties.
Now, not only has 705 26th sold for asking price, its near-twin, developed at the same time on a (former) double lot, has sold for more.
That'd be 709 26th (5br/4ba, 5120 sq. ft.), slightly larger, and slightly pricier at $3.700M.
Not only are these sales numbers major……

Durham drug-development company Scynexis is the latest in a string of Triangle biotechnology companies seeking to go public.
Scynexis, which spun out of Aventis in 2000 and today has 90 employees, filed plans for an initial public offering Thursday. The company hasn't yet disclosed how much it hopes to raise through its IPO or how much stock it plans to sell.
Scynexis doesn't yet have a drug on the market and is years away from having one. Its leading drug candidate is an intravenous drug for treating serious and life-threatening fungal infections. It licensed the drug from pharmaceutical giant Merck last year.
The drug, SCY-078, demonstrated in animal studies that it is effective against a broad range of fungal species accounting for 85 percent of the fungal infections in the U.S. and Europe. Two of the most serious species of fungal infections that SCY-078 has demonstrated effectiveness against account for more than 600,000 cases of serious infections in the U.S. and Europe each year, according to Scynexis.
The company expects to begin enrolling patients for a Phase 2 study of an oral version of SCY-078 in the second half of this year. The company also would have to complete a larger Phase 3 study before it can seek marketing approval from regulators.
Scynexis also is working on an intravenous version of SCY-078.
Three Triangle biotech companies went public in 2013, and two more companies – Argos Therapeutics and NephroGenex – have navigated successful IPOs so far this year.
Net loss last year
Scynexis CEO Yves Ribeill couldn't be reached for comment on the company's IPO plans. The company's chairman is Pamela Kirby, who was CEO of Quintiles from 2001 to 2003.
Last year Scynexis generated $16.9 million in revenue but posted a net loss of $30.5 million. Its revenue came from research-and-development services it performed for other companies.
Scynexis needs the money that an IPO would provide. As of Dec. 31, it had $1.4 million in cash. It has earmarked $15 million of the proceeds it would receive from an IPO to pay down a loan with HSBC Bank.
Scynexis' accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche, noted that the company's recurring losses and negative cash flows "raise substantial debate about the company's ability to continue as a going concern."
Scynexis noted in its filing that it expects to receive continued support from its existing investors, which, combined with a successful IPO, "would enable the company to carry on its activities and meet its obligations for at least the next 12 months."
Scynexis hopes to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "SCYX."

A Cheerios ad is causing some controversy online.
The commercial sparked backlash for a new ad that features an inter-racial couple.
The New York Times says that because of all the racist comments General Mills had been receiving for its new Cheerio commercial... the company disabled the comments section on its Youtube page.
The commercial shows a little girl who has a white mother and a black father.
An associate marketing director for General Mills "Cheerios" told The New York Times that the ad will "absolutely not" be pulled... and that the company celebrates all kinds of families.

I dont know how many of you have played, or even heard of this game called, "Game Party" but it is a pretty decent game.
At only 20 bucks, it makes a worthwhile purchase, especially for a multi-player game. The game is comprised of 6 games:Air Hockey, Skii Ball, Darts, Arcade Basketball, Shuffleboard, Ping Cup (beer pong without beer), and Trivia. It does not however, use your Miis, but rather, it has its own characters from which you can choose.
Air Hockey(1-2 players)
It is from the side angle. You move the remote up, down, left, or right to guide your hand. Works fairly smoothly.
Skii Ball(1 player or take turns)
You move your arm as you do in Wii Sports Bowling to throw the ball. It senses how hard you do it. It is quite fun.
Darts(1-4 players) It offers games such as High score, 701, 501, and Cricket. It also has an unlockable baseball dart board. You lock in where you want to throw and then move your arm as if to throw a dart. It gauges how hard you throw it in order to place the dart accordingly.
Arcade Basketball(1 player or taking turns)
You move your arm as if to throw a basketball, pressing and releasing A to throw it. It gauges the angle or the remote as well as the velocity.
Shuffleboard(1-4 players. 2 vs 2)
Much like bowling, you press a to engage the players arm movements and you move your arm with it, letting go of a to throw the puck. It is pretty sensitive, but works very well and is fun.
Ping Cup(1-4 players)
Much like beer pong, the object is to bounce the ping pong ball into cups. The ball is thrown with a back hand motion, releasing the A button to throw the ball. It is difficult, but a decent game.
Trivia(1-4 players)
A very fun game. Categories include: Music, History, Kids, Movies/Tv, General, and Sports. You point at the answer to buzz in and spin a wheel to select categories.
There are plenty of unlockables, such as characters, boards, darts, tables, game modes, and more. You gain tickets by playing in single player modes. Tickets unlock the extras.
Again, this is a very fun game, especially playing with other people. It it definitely worth 20 bucks in my opinion. My girlfriend and I have played it quite a bit. Hope you enjoy...
