Rick Ross Involved in Drive-By?
Rick Ross had another close call with regards to his health as he was reportedly attacked by gunfire in the early morning of January 28. It is being reported that he was attacked on Fort Lauderdale, Florida's Los Olas Boulevard, near 15th Avenue, when another vehicle pulled alongside his luxury automobile before shooting. Even though Ross and his female passenger were not seriously injured, over a dozen shots were fired at the car, and while accelerating away from the shooters, Ross crashed his Rolls Royce Phantom into a building. No arrests or suspects have been named following the attack.
Ross is at the peak of his popularity and while he is not my favorite rapper, there is no denying that he is a very much in demand artists. It is a scary thought to think that people would be targeting Ross with violence, and with the other health scares he has faced over recent years Ross has had a turbulent year.
In a somewhat bizarre related story, 50 Cent took to twitter after the attack and accused Ross of making the whole story up. 50 stated that since the car did not have visible bullet holes in photos that were released, that Ross made up the whole thing.
"Hahaha fat boy hit the building?lol it looks staged to me. No hole's in da car," wrote Fif.
While making up such a serious story is something that would be in horrible taste, it is something that I could see 50 Cent doing in order to gain mainstream attention. However, Rick Ross has somewhat stayed away from using the media to his advantage and it seems unlikely that he would make the story up to get some press. 50 Cent has been battling to stay relevant in hip hop for the last couple years, and his upcoming release
Street King Immortal
was recently pushed back again. This really is 50's last chance to show that he is still a threat on the mic in terms of making hip hop music, and while the first single he release "My Life" was good, I don't have high hopes for the release based on his last coupe of major albums he has dropped.
Chris Brown & Frank Ocean Fight
Chris Brown continues to add to his bad boy image, this time getting into an altercation with Frank Ocean in LA. It appears the whole altercation was over a parking spot. Early reports has stated that Frank Ocean approached Chris Brown and said, "This is my studio. This is my parking spot."
The source also claimed that Chris Brown attempted to shake Ocean's hand but that Ocean and friends attacked Brown. The source shared that Ocean confronted Brown but that Brown shoved him away, leading to a fight between the two singers before police arrived on the scene.
Bad blood between Brown and Ocean stems from a past filled with anomisty from both parties. The two were at odds when Chris Brown compared Ocean to James Fauntleroy and Kevin Cossum. Ocean then compared Brown to Sisqo and Ike Turner. While they seemed to move forward from there, the two were linked in a feud again when Brown made comments regarding Ocean's sexuality.
This seems completely insane that a fight would break out between two artists over a parking spot, but I guess when you have R&B divas, nothing is off limits. This is especially trouble for Brown, who is already on probation for the Rihanna incident, so if charges are pressed, he could be in serious trouble.
Release Dates & Album Updates
We have a ton of album updates this week starting with news that
Justin Timberlake
has announced the release date for his comeback album
The 20/20 Experience
. In the video for his first single, "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z, Timberlake revealed that his new album will be released on March 19th. This is quite a surprise and in a good way as time and time again artists are announcing release dates for their albums months and months in advance only for the album to be constantly delayed. For JT to release the info that the album would be released in mere weeks, the album is likely finished. Timberlake gave some additional details on the release stating that it will be produced by Timbaland with Jay-Z and Beyonce set to appear.
Additionally T.I. has stated that he has provided JT with some records which he expects will be on the album.
Tip actually revealed the title of one of his collaborations with Timbaland and Timberlake. "I think it's called 'Goodbye Homey,' one of them is, and then there is another one; I did maybe two or three records with them."
Veteran emcee
Edo. G
has revealed the tracklisting to his latest album,
Intelligence & Ignorance
which is dropping on February 5, 2013
Guests on the album include Freestyle, formerly of The Arsonists as well as Oh No. The 10-track LP will be released on Envision Entertainment.
1 Done Talking
2 What They Say
3 Power
4 Easy
5 Love I Need Feat. Freestyle
6 Bags & Shoes
7 Give It to Me
8 Can t Wait Feat. Noel Gourdin
9 Change Feat. Noel Gourdin
10 Hold U
While we mentioned earlier that
50 Cent
's album has been delayed yet again, 50 took the opportunity to talk on some of the collabs he has on the album. In addition to "My Life," Eminem will also appear on "Champion". 50 also revealed that Chris Brown, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Young Jeezy will appear on the album. 50 spoke about the Chris Brown track stating
"It's a song me and Chris Brown did together, and a DJ produced it, Felli Fel, out in Los Angeles," he said. "It was for his album and he sent it to me and I listened to it, and I was like, what if we put this on my record? I had to finish it for him. Because the DJ was also the producer, he was receptive to the idea."
This album has all the ingredients of being a hit in terms of guests and producers, so if 50 is not able to muster up good sales then the blame has to fall squarely on his shoulders.
Lastly, the super group
The Demigodz
(Apathy, Esoteric, Celph Titled, Blacastan, Motive, Ryu) have released the tracklisting to their upcoming album,
, which is being released March 5. The album looks great and should be an instant underground classic!
1.) "Intro" (Giants On The Earth) (produced by Apathy)
2.) "Demigodz Is Back" f/Apathy, Ryu & Celph Titled (produced by Apathy)
3.) "Dumb High" f/ Apathy, Motive, Esoteric, Celph Titled & Open Mic (produced by Apathy)

Rural Banker Survey Indicates Slower Economic Growth
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Economic growth will likely slow in rural parts of 10 Midwest and Western states in the months ahead.
A monthly survey of rural bankers released Thursday shows the region's overall economic index falling to 50.8 in January from December's 56.1.
The index ranges from 0 to 100, and any score above 50 suggests growth in that factor in the months ahead.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says declining farm prices are hurting the economy.
And most bankers say they expect the economy to be hurt by the Environmental Protection Agency's decision to reduce the amount of ethanol that must be blended into gasoline.
The report covers rural parts of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

After a night of snow and freezing rain, the Ferndale Public Schools are closed for the day.
As of 5:30 a.m., the following schools officially canceled classes due to wintry conditions:
Nearby districts like Birmingham, Clawson and Royal Oak are also closed.
A Winter Weather Advisory remained in effect until 6 a.m. Monday after several inches of snow fell overnight and then turned into freezing rain in areas. The transition to regular rain is expected to happen around sunrise, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS warned that travel can become difficult during a Winter Weather Advisory, particularly due to slippery roads and limited visibility. The forecast calls for a 50 percent chance of rain before 8 a.m., followed by areas of drizzling. It could become foggy after 8 a.m. Otherwise, the skies will be cloudy with high of 47 degrees.

There is, unfortunately, some disagreement about the definition of atheism. It is interesting to note that most of that disagreement comes from theists — atheists themselves tend to agree on what atheism means. Christians in particular dispute the definition used by atheists and insist that atheism means something very different.
The broader, and more common, understanding of atheism among atheists is quite simply "not believing in any gods." No claims or denials are made — an atheist is just a person who does not happen to be a theist. Sometimes this broader understanding is called "weak" or "implicit" atheism. Most good, complete dictionaries readily support this.
There also exists a narrower sort of atheism, sometimes called "strong" or "explicit" atheism. With this type, the atheist explicitly denies the existence of any gods — making a strong claim which will deserve support at some point. Some atheists do this and others may do this with regards to certain specific gods but not with others. Thus, a person may lack belief in one god, but deny the existence of another god.
Unfortunately, misunderstandings arise because many theists imagine that all atheists fit this most narrow, limited form of the concept of atheism. Reliance upon dishonest apologists and cheap dictionaries only exacerbates the problem. So, when someone identifies themselves as an atheist, all you can do is assume that they lack belief in the existence of any gods. You cannot assume that they deny any gods or some particular god — if you want to find out about that, you will have to ask.
Why do these errors occur? Why do some theists insist that the broader sense of atheism simply does not exist? Possibly some theists feel that since they are claiming the existence of their god, then anyone who does not agree with them must be claiming the exact opposite — a serious misunderstanding of not only basic logic but also how human belief systems operate.
Another reason for insisting that only the narrow sense of atheism is relevant is that it allows the theist to avoid shouldering the principal burden of proof. You see, if atheism is simply the absence of a belief in any gods, then the principal burden of proof lies solely with the theist. If the theist cannot demonstrate that their belief is reasonable and justified, then atheism is automatically credible and rational. When a person is unable to do this, it can be easier to claim that others are in the same boat than to admit one's own failure.
There is also a tendency among some theists to make the error of focusing only on the specific god in which they believe, failing to recognize the fact that atheists don't focus on that god. Atheism has to involve all gods, not simply one god — and an atheist can often approach different gods in different ways, depending upon what is necessitated by the nature of the god in question.
Thus, when someone claims that a person is an atheist because they "deny the existence of God," we can start to see some of the errors and misunderstandings that statement involves. First, the term "God" hasn't been defined — so what the atheist thinks of it cannot be automatically assumed. The theist cannot simply assert that whatever they have in mind must also be something which the atheist has in mind. Second, it is not true that whatever this god turns out to be, the atheist must automatically deny it. This concept might turn out to be too incoherent to justify either belief or denial.
As a matter of fact, many exchanges between atheists and theists turn out to be frustrating and unsatisfactory because no one ever bothers to stop and explain what is meant by the key term "god." Unless and until that happens, no serious, productive, or rational discussion can take place. Unless we know what the theist means by "god," we'll never have any chance to judge if anything said in defense of belief is adequate. Only when we know what the theist means by "god," will we be able to seriously critique their concepts.

Roasted Portobello Caprese Salad
It's been a while since I've cooked with portobellos, I'm not sure why exactly -- maybe I had one too many portobello burgers in the late '80s. Whatever the reason, I think it's high time they made a comeback. Today I'm roasting them with sweet tomatoes and earthy garlic. Then I'll layer them with some fresh basil and creamy mozzarella into a super-satisfying salad. Check it out!

I wasn't really surprised when the EliteXC Heat card failed to produce any action I considered "Judo Chop" worthy. But I was pleasantly surprised when TUF coach Ken Hahn's MMA Junkie column gave a great technical description of an uppercut to hook combination.
When you train a southpaw fighter (right-hand lead) like Shane for a fight against an orthodox fighter (left-hand lead) like Efrain, you must pay special attention to the fundamental differences in each fighter's stance.
On offense, the opposite stance provides your power punch a direct path to your opponent, but on defense you stand directly in the line of fire of his power hand.
To combat the risk of his orthodox opponent's power hand, Shane must constantly work to keep his right-lead foot on the outside of Efrain's left-lead foot. Shane will "circle to the outside," which will keep him out of danger of Efrain's right power hand.
Shane should stay aware of Efrain's right uppercut, left hook combination. That is one of the best offensive methods involving the hands that Efrain can use against Shane's southpaw stance.
Between fighters with opposite stances, the rear-uppercut, front-hook combo is an excellent technique because if the defensive fighter tries to avoid the rear uppercut by slipping toward the punch, he will likely get hit by it. If he steps to the outside like most fighters are trained to do, he will have trouble seeing the front hook that is heading his way.
Even better, the only gif I could come up with to illustrate the technique was Kimbo Slice using it against James Thompson (note: I'm aware that both fighters are right handed so its not exactly what Hahn's describing but its as close as I could find.)
Seeing good boxing technique make its way into MMA over the past few years has been very enjoyable and I look forward to seeing even more in the future.

Just one day after the election, it seems everyone is ready to move forward and let the political past lie.
FOX 9 News set out to see wither people were still talking politics after going to the polls, and found a very common theme -- any commercial that isn't a political ad is an improvement.
Now that the biggest day in American politics is in the history books, people seem to be looking forward to a much-needed holiday.
"It's like you want to focus on Thanksgiving and Christmas," explained 16-year-old Mariah Soto. "We want to hang out with friends -- not have debates."
At Target Center, superfans are ready to focus on a team that isn't competing for votes. With all the election buzz, many Minnesotans may not even know that the Timberwolves are 2-1 going into Wednesday's game.
One thing is certain: Now that the election is over, everyone hopes Congress can get along and fix some of the issues facing this country. In fact, coming together to find compromise was a central theme on Facebook -- along with urging disappointed voters to get over it and get back to moving on with life.

On the same day that Whitney Houston's daughter was cited in a traffic accident, her adopted son was charged with reckless driving and speeding in nearby Alpharetta for allegedly driving 82 mph on North Point Parkway.
The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety reports that Nicholas David Gordon, 23, of Alpharetta, was arrested and charged after a car police say he was driving was stopped at 6:39 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, on North Point Parkway.
An Alpharetta police officer assigned to the Traffic Enforcement Unit was operating a laser speed detection device on North Point Parkway when an incident report states he saw a gray Chevrolet Camaro speeding. The officer said his laser device tracked the car's speed at 82 mph in a 35 mph zone that is filled with medium to high-end retail stores, malls and numerous dinning venues.
"The danger lies in the fact this is a high vehicular and pedestrian traffic area. In a situation such as this, the Department has a duty to take reasonable enforcement action to protect the public," said George Gordon, a Department of Public Safety spokesman, in a release this afternoon.
After stopping the vehicle, the officer conducted a traffic stop against the vehicle. The driver was identified, arrested and cited for reckless driving and speeding. He was transported to the North Fulton Alpharetta Jail Annex.
An acquaintance of the driver was allowed to come to the scene and take custody of the vehicle, according to the department's spokesman.

Thousands of years ago the great civilizations of Shangri-La, El Dorado, and Atlantis had vanished. Behind their mysterious disappearance lies a legend of power and destruction that will ultimately determine the future of humanity. As Gage Blackwood, Agent #5 of the Temporal Security Agency, you will travel through time, assume multiple identities, and weave your way through an intricate web of puzzles. Hidden within these lost worlds lies the key to mankind's survival.
Journeyman Project 3 is a worthy installment of the franchise. A fascinating story, memorable characters, and puzzles that are both fun and intuitive are only the tip of an iceberg of what this game has to offer. The third installment features gameplay improvements like a first person perspective view, and the new "Chameleon Jumpsuit" that lets you interact with characters form the past. Also, Jerry Rector does an excellent job playing Gage Blackwood. When compared to the previous installments, this one is everything they were and more. If you are a fan of the series than this is a no-brainer. If you haven't heard of those games before then this is a good place to start, even though this is the third part, because the story exists independently from the previous ones, and the production values and gameplay are top of their class.
Age requirements: ESRB Rating: EVERYONE
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7, 1.8 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), 2GB HDD, Mouse, Keyboard.

If you like a good game experience, BUY this game. Even if you have no clue about adventures, this game has a support character that you can ask about what to do next, which allows you to walk through the entire game without thinking much, if you insist. It is optional of course. Now, lets talk for real: Legacy of Time has everything, a good story, good presentation and sound, theread more best puzzles in the series and it is tense and filled with a sense of wonder. Again, you are agent Blackwood of the Temporal Security Agency and the stakes have never been higher: Travel to the past to solve the mystery of an invasion in the present and unlike so many other Time-Travel stories, this makes sense and works well.
Gameplay has been streamlined, the most important changes from the predecessors are:
1.) You cannot die or make a fatal error anymore.
2.) You are not forced to repeat things when returning to a location.
3.) The controls are a lot better now.
4.) Action-like sequences have been removed.
5.) You can talk to people now, making the story WAY more engaging and the puzzles better.
These changes were overdue and make LoT the best in the series. You visit various places/times in search of a certain "heritage" and are free (and required) to combine items between them. The new features, like talking (Your new suit allows you to "shape-shift" to any person you have seen) allow for vastly improved puzzles that are at the same time a lot more logical, no more machine-figuring-out, instead you will have to explore the place you are in, get a feel for rules of the place and the people who inhabit it. This game is wonderful. It makes you care, it makes you feel smart, it helps you when you are stuck and it is funny at the right times.
And with GOG making CD-Swapping a thing of the past too, there is no reason not to (re-)buy this masterpiece.

(Disclaimer: This review is based on the original classic Mac OS CD release, which I've recently replayed.)
The Journeyman Project series were already known for delivering a fantastic and immersive sci-fi action-adventure experience, and Presto Studios' third (and sadly final) instalment was no exception. Technologically, JP3 was a stellar game, and Presto pulled out all of theread more stops to tell a truly memorable and engaging story. Its remarkable engine gave an (at the time) remarkably seamless 360 degree range of vision, something unheard of at time when other games like Myst had you clicking through static images, and 3D engines at the time were too primitive to deliver visuals with a high-enough fidelity. The Chameleon mechanic gave the game a unique level of interactivity, making the levels actually feel like they were populated with real people, as opposed to silent, abandoned vistas.
But what really blew me away was the plot. The writing for JP3 was truly stellar, weaving a story which considerably ramps up the stakes for Gage, the TSA, and the Symbiotry, while at the same time closely tying in the story and characters from Buried in Time and the original JP. All of a sudden, the actions of the two villans of the previous games are seen in a totally new light when faced with the new threat posed by an enemy powerful enough to challenge the Cyrollans.
IMO, the only real problem is that the game is, simply put, too easy (with the exception of the rather annoying steam tunnel puzzle in Shangri-La). Compared to Buried in Time or other comtemporary games like Riven, the puzzles, while still clever and suited to their environment, came across to me as being somewhat more simplistic and straight-forward. Bear in mind though that I personally suck at adventure and puzzle games, so as always, YMMV. The FMV sequence acting is questionable, as they so often seem to be in 90's-era adventure games; the new actor who plays Gage really hams its up, with his style of over-acting so egregious that you had to wonder if he took his job and the events of Buried in Time a little *too* seriously.
Overall though, the fantastic plot, excellent visuals, and immersive gameplay more than outweigh this games flaws (and you can laugh at Jerry Rector's melodramatic delivery of Gage's lines). If you love adventure games, or even just good solid sci-fi, this is definitely a game to add to your collection.

Probably the best Journeyman game, although it left me a little cold. There's nothing groundbreaking in the story, the histories you visit are more fantasy than fact, and the resolution opens up some big questions about the direction of the whole series.
The original Journeyman actually came out before Myst, so this game is best described as Myst style rather than Myst clone.read more The panning environments are detailed and often beautiful. The mood is lightly serious. The puzzles fit well with their surroundings. Nothing seems too arbitrary. Exploration and story are a big part of the game. It's not jammed full of puzzles, and they aren't extraordinarily difficult.
Excellent game if you enjoy first person adventures and the fantasy time travel theme.

The Oct. 11 hearing on the proposed 150-unit multi-family residential project is scheduled to take place at 10:30 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at the County Administrative Center, 175 Fulweiler Ave. in Auburn.
The focus of the public hearing will be an appeal that seeks to overturn the Placer County Planning Commission's approval of the project on June 28. At the meeting, commissioners also certified the project's final environmental impact report.
The appeal was filed by the Town of Loomis and an organization known as Stop 150 Apartments Group. The latter asked the Board of Supervisors to postpone Tuesday's public hearing because one of the five board members was unable to attend the meeting.
Penryn Development LLC, the property owner, and the Town of Loomis informed Placer County they did not oppose postponing the public hearing.
The Orchard at Penryn would be built on 15 acres at the west side of Penryn Road just north of Interstate 80.

Patriotic Pretzel Crisps® Pudding Pie
Easy entertaining is the name of the game on the 4th of July. Whether you plan to venture into the city to watch a big fireworks display or host a laid-back barbeque in your backyard, chances are you'll probably share a meal with family and friends on this Independence Day. How about giving your time together a sweet ending with this light and fruity Patriotic Pretzel Crisps® Pudding Pie? It's guaranteed to be a hit!
- 22 – 25 Original Pretzel Crisps
- 1 package of instant vanilla pudding
- 1.5 cups of white chocolate morsels
- Fresh strawberries and blueberries
- Red, white, and blue sprinkles
Make instant pudding as directed on package and set aside.
In a round pie dish, cover the bottom with Pretzel Crisps.
Add 1.5 cups of white chocolate morsels to a microwavable-safe bowl and microwave for approximately 2 minutes. Remove bowl from microwave and stir until all of the morsels are melted and smooth.
Pour white chocolate in the middle of the pie dish and spread outward over the Pretzel Crisps, keeping the Pretzel Crisps in place as much as possible.
Be sure to spread the white chocolate to the edge of the dish.
Use remaining Pretzel Crisps to create a "crust" around the edges.
Evenly pour pudding into the dish and refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes (or until white chocolate is firm).
Finally, decorate pudding pie with fresh fruit and sprinkles.
Happy 4th of July!

On Wednesday, a Florida Senate committee will take the first step at making texting and driving against the law. One Florida father has made a texting ban his personal crusade.
Steve Augello said his daughter did all the right things, but the woman who hit her and killed her in 2008 made one mistake: she took her eyes off the road for a second to send a text. Now, Augello said he's helping lawmakers make sure no one else feels his pain.
"I miss my daughter," said Augello. "I miss having the chance to walk her down the aisle. I miss having the chance to see my grandchildren."
Those are opportunities missed because Augello's daughter, Allessandra, was killed when she was 17 years old. Police said the driver who hit Allie's car was texting.
Augello drove to Tallahassee to testify on Wednesday in favor of a state ban on texting while driving.
This isn't the first time lawmakers in the Florida have tried to get a bill passed. Efforts date back about a decade. Florida is one of six states without a ban. However, critics have said government needs to stay out of citizens' cars.
Augello disagrees.
"When I see someone who is on the other fence I show them a picture of my vehicle that my daughter was killed in," said Augello. "I show them a picture of the other vehicle where the cell phone was found in the back windshield after it rolled because the girl had it in her hand."
AAA spokesperson Vanessa Jones said it's difficult to put a number on exactly how many people send texts while driving, but added that those who use a cell phone while behind the wheel are four times more likely to crash.
I'm not sure what number would be appropriate, but one would be too many," said Jones. "I know that texting while driving increases the chance of an accident tremendously so having a law in place will hopefully save lives."
The numbers also encouraged Fortune 500 companies such as Disney and Darden to enact policies. Smaller companies, such as Go Go Taxi in Sanford, are also getting involved. Manager John Deter said the 15-year old company enacted a policy banning talking while driving six years ago and one banning texting while driving one year ago. Deter said he hopes those small changes will make big differences.
"It just takes a couple of seconds to have an accident," said Deter.
Deter said any driver caught breaking the rules would be fired.
Several Florida lawmakers have proposed bills banning texting while driving. S.B. 52 is the bill discussed tomorrow in the State Senate Transportation committee. It would make texting while driving a secondary offense. Augello said the penalties need to stiffer, but it's a step in the right direction.
According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, distracted driving accounts for 16-percent of all fatal crashes and 5,000 deaths every year. The same group reported that teens were the biggest offenders. The young drivers were distracted almost a quarter of the time they were behind the wheel, with electronic devices, such as texting and emailing, as the reasons why they were distracted.

A school bus driver, who's accused of holding up a toy gun and telling students it was for "the bad kids," has been charged by police and fired from his job.
Dauphin County Vocational School sophomore Tyler Kelsey was on that bus and said things changed from normal to scary very quickly on Monday's bus ride home.
"I thought everything was going to be as usual then I heard a few students talking about a gun," he said. "He passed my stop at the corner there and just drove right on down to an empty lot."
Students contacted authorities with cell phones as Jones began his route.
"Kids were screaming, texting, calling their parents, calling the police," said Kelsey.
Susquehanna Township Superintendent Susan Kegerie said these students did the right thing.
"They were calm ... They used the[ir] phones. They alerted authorities right away whether it was real or whether it was not," Kegerie said.

AUGUSTA — The chairman of Maine's Republican Party on Monday released what he said is evidence of ongoing voter fraud in the Pine Tree State.
Charles Webster, a former state lawmaker from Farmington, said he had discovered 206 people who were registered to vote in Maine but were also enrolled in Maine's public university system as paying "out-of-state" tuition rates.
Some, he said, are not even residents of the United States and others voted both in Maine and in their home states or went between the two deciding which state to vote in depending on the election or issues.
Webster's release comes in the wake of a petition drive that aims to repeal, by a statewide ballot initiative, a recently enacted and Republican-sponsored state law that eliminates Maine's same-day voter registration system.
Under the new law voters will have to register at least two business days prior to an election in order to vote. Supporters of the new law, like Webster, say it's an attempt to reduce voter fraud in Maine.
But opponents of the new law have said the new law will suppress voting and voter turnout. They have also said there is no proof of widespread voter fraud in Maine and over the last few decades only two cases have been prosecuted.
Webster presented his findings to Maine's Secretary of State Charlie Summers, who said he would look into them, according to The Associated Press.
Webster also provided a list of names to the media but most of the identifying information was redacted. On Webster's list were only the alleged voter's first initial, year of birth and out-of-state hometown.
"I have been around Maine politics for over 30 years and have been concerned with voter fraud for a long time," Webster said during a news conference at the State House. For months Webster has asserted some have exploited Maine's same-day registration by flooding the polls with newly and even illegally registered voters on Election Day. But during his news conference Monday, Webster said he began a formal investigation into the matter only three weeks ago.
Webster said in seven to eight days he and his secretary doing telephone research were able to cross reference the names of out-of-state tuition paying students with voter registration records. Webster also said that his research found that many of out-of-state students claimed their parents' homes for purposes of residency in the 2010 Census. It's evidence, according to Webster that, people who should be ineligible to vote in Maine have been allowed to do so.
According to Maine state law, students are eligible to register to vote in the municipality in which they attend school, as long as they have established residency there. There is not a period of time required for a person to establish residency. The University of Maine System has different guidelines to establish student residency. A student may only be granted in-state tuition if he or she has proven that she has established residency for reasons other than academic, regardless of the length of time that he or she has lived in Maine.
According to the Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions, a student may still vote in his or her home municipality, but may only maintain a single residence in which they may vote. "This may not be construed to prevent a student at any institution of learning from qualifying as a voter in the municipality where the student resides while attending that institution," according to its website.
Webster said Monday that special interest groups were, "poll flooding" voting places in an attempt to win.
Webster, a former state lawmaker, has won several decisive elections in his hometown of Farmington, the host town for a University of Maine campus. On Monday, he said the issue was not a partisan one for him.
"The simple fact that 206 people, here on 'out-of-state' tuition, are actually voting to decide who will represent our communities in the state Legislature ought to concern Mainers," Webster said in prepared remarks. "I don't even care who they vote for."
Republicans have won the local vote in last two gubernatorial contests in Farmington. In 2006, voters there selected Republican GOP candidate Chandler Woodcock, a hometown favorite, over the incumbent Gov. John Baldacci, a Democrat from Bangor.
Woodcock won 337 more votes than Baldacci, who prevailed on the statewide ballot. In 2010, Paul LePage, the Republican, won Farmington over independent candidate Eliot Cutler with 251 more votes than Cutler. Democrat Elizabeth Mitchell was a distant third with 744 votes.
In other Maine college towns, including Lewiston, the home of Bates College and Waterville, the home of Colby College, in 2010 Cutler came in second place to LePage.
In Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College, LePage placed third behind both Cutler and Mitchell and in Orono, the hometown for the University of Maine's flagship campus, Cutler won, with Mitchell placing second and LePage in third.
In Gorham, the home to the campus of the University of Southern Maine and one of the town's highlighted in Webster's evidence, LePage finished second in 2010, only 37 votes behind Cutler, with Mitchell again in third place.
Webster said Monday that 51 out-of-state students voted in 2010 in Gorham.
"These 'out-of-state residents' could have made the difference on who would represent those Mainers living in Gorham," Webster said. "I ask you — who is disenfranchised in this scenario? Individuals who are not residents — should not vote on local matters. I am convinced my research proves that fraud is a problem and I have only found the 'tip of the iceberg.'"
Meanwhile, according to records compiled by Maine's Secretary of State, a total of 4,468 Democrats registered to vote on Election Day 2010 compared to 4,405 Republicans who registered to vote on Election Day.
Those hoping to restore Election Day registration in Maine said Webster had not offered any definitive proof of election fraud.
"He didn't present any evidence of anything," said David Farmer, a spokesman for Protect Maine Votes, a political action committee working to repeal the newly enacted law banning same-day registration. "He didn't even claim that he could document any of the supposed irregularities that he was pointing to occurred on Election Day."
Evert Fowle, Kennebec County district attorney and a supporter of same-day voter registration, said there have been very few complaints about voter fraud in Maine and even less evidence of it.
"My office aggressively prosecutes violations of the law," Fowle said, also in a prepared statement. "We have never had any suggestion made to us that the Election Day registration of voters has led to the commission of any criminal acts. The lack of prosecution has to do with the lack of any allegation suggesting abuses of the present system, much less any proof to back up any such assertion."

ST. CHARLES PARISH, La. — Officials celebrated the end of a project Monday they believe will make the West Bank better prepared in the event of another storm hits the area.
The protection spans several parishes, including Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines and St. Charles.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the completion of a $3 billion project, which includes the addition of many different risk-reduction features on the Westbank.
Seventy-five miles of levees, floodwalls, and floodgates are all meant to stand up against a 100-year storm.
The completion ceremony comes days after a groundbreaking for permanent flood protection structures at the 17th street, Orleans and London avenue canals in New Orleans.
Last year, when Hurricane Isaac struck, U.S. Highway 90 was closed near the Jefferson and St. Charles parish lines because Hesco baskets and sandbags had to be used to fill openings in the floodwall.
Officials said with this new project's completion, that closure won't be necessary and Hwy. 90 can remain completely open during an evacuation.

Apologies for dropping the ball on the quick recap last night. I've been feeling sick and after a long trade deadline week I just couldn't stay up for the end of this one. Got it tapped though, because I want to see Jeff Green's performance and see the debut of Jordan Crawford. Here's someone else's thoughts on the game.
Rapid Reaction: Celtics 113, Suns 88 - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston
Starting in place of Kevin Garnett (a rest day), Jeff Green scored a season-high 31 points on super-efficient 11-of-14 shooting to go along with seven rebounds, five blocks and two steals. Green was nothing short of spectacular in 39 minutes of play, finishing plus-26 in plus/minus. Avery Bradley was the only other Boston starter in double figures (13 points), while the Celtics got a boost from their newest faces in Jordan Crawford (10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) and Terrence Williams (9 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds). Chris Wilcox added 14 points -- almost all of the dunk variety -- on 7-of-9 shooting over 21:37.
Green Street » Getting the start for Kevin Garnett, Jeff Green leads Celtics past Suns
"Jeff was phenomenal," Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters. "We started the game running a set we had never run in our lives. We literally drew it up right before the game. They just had the basketball IQ to keep working and they actually showed us options we didn't know we had."

Adopting Server Virtualization for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
In today's competitive business environment, your IT infrastructure must accommodate rapidly changing business needs and unforeseen problems with minimal impact on day-to-day operations. But this level of flexibility, scalability, and high availability can be expensive and difficult to deploy and maintain, especially for small and midsize businesses. No matter what size your business is, in today's economic climate, having an IT infrastructure that includes a cost-effective business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) solution is a necessity. Downtime of mission-critical applications can cause irreparable harm to any-size business. Server virtualization is now a mainstream technology within small, midsize, and large organizations - not just for early adopters - and requires the same levels of protection as physical servers.

Springfield -- The Associated Press has learned that overtime pay jumped 34 percent last year for corrections officers in Illinois' overcrowded prisons system.
The spike corresponded with Gov. Pat Quinn's closing of prison facilities to save money. But state officials argue the costs were increased when a union sued to stop the closings and the transfer of some guards got delayed.
An AP analysis of state records shows that employees were paid $62 million in overtime in the year that ended June 30. State officials say the amount has dropped since then.
Lawmakers currently are considering gun legislation that could further crowd the prisons. The proposal would impose tougher sentences for gun crimes to help combat gang violence in Chicago, but officials say it could increase the system by 3,800 inmates.

A fast-moving four-alarm fire killed four people in Jersey City on Thursday.
More than two dozen residents were displaced and four bodies were pulled from the rubble from the fire, which broke out at about 1 a.m. at 28 Grant Ave.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said a mix-up with the address of the fire delayed firefighters. The fire department arrived in about 7 to 8 minutes whereas the normal response time is 3 to 4 minutes, Fulop said."While yelling in a blazing fire the dispatcher heard Grand with a 'd' and not Grant with a 't'. The dispatcher only had the best interests of routing as quickly as possible to the end location with the information they were given in a high pressure environment," Fulop said.
A couple in their 80s and their two sons in their 50s are the victims, the AP reported. Their identities had not been released.
SkyFoxHD was overhead at about 6 a.m. as firefighters continued to battle flames and smoke. The fire spread to five other homes.
The roofs of nearly all of the row homes were destroyed. The flames were brought under control late Thursday morning.
Two firefighters suffered minor injuries. One suffered minor electrical shocks and was taken to a hospital. The other sustained a small injury to their face and was also taken to a hospital for treatment.
The Red Cross and United Way of Hudson County were working to relocate those displaced.

During the week of June 17, approximately 70 children ages 4-10 visited Beining Nursery and Landscaping of Ottoville. The children's program "No Child Left Inside" consisted of story time followed by creating their own plant and animal habitat to take home with them. The children learned about how seeds turn into plants, how animals use plants for camouflage and protection, along with what plants need to survive.

Returning to action after three weeks without a game, Town turned in a good performance at Championship contenders Norton United, going down 2-1.
It was a good start for St. Helens, who grabbed an early lead when Ed Richardson finished off a crisp passing move to put the ball into the Norton net after only seven minutes. They might have increased their lead ten minutes later, but Andy Mawdsley could only head over the bar from Nathan Parish's cross.
Norton played some excellent attacking football during the first period with Town defending well inside their own penalty box.
The home side equalised midway through the first half, courtesy of a Leigh Skellern shot which beat Ciaran Gibson at his near post. The home side looked to have taken the lead on the half-hour, only for a goal to be disallowed for offside.
That was a rare event for Norton, but Town had to contend with a series of dubious offside flags from the other assistant referee who, to their dismay, changed ends at half-time and continued to raise his flag all through the second period, which frustrated the Town attack who had enough to contend with, thanks to the unforgivingly heavy pitch and some heavy challenges.
The home side fought keenly for everything throughout the game.
They were, in fact, lucky to finish with ten men as midfielder Jon Beaumont was not given a yellow card for his part in an altercation which saw Town's Connor Naughton booked, then shortly afterwards the Norton number 6 cleaned out the same man in a vicious tackle which should have seen him dismissed instead of the caution he received.
St. Helens Town had chances to take something from the game in the second half, but three weeks' inactivity probably took the edge off leading scorer Andy Gillespie's finishing accuracy as he fired narrowly over the bar twice, either side of Lee Cropper's winner for Norton in the 80th minute and the home side's celebrations showed what a relief it was for them to come from behind to collect the three points.
As for Town, they find themselves in twelfth place, with games in hand on all the teams around them in the table, ahead of this Saturday's home clash with Abbey Hey.
This was an encouraging performance from Town, albeit in defeat, featuring a debut for Connor Naughton and a return to the club for Danny Hand.
There was also a promising cameo performance from substitute Jamil Saleh who might have scored an equaliser for Town in the closing moments, but his rasping drive was gratefully tipped over the bar by Norton keeper Danny Roberts.

New records obtained by the Defending Dissent Foundation prove that the United States Army used a multi-agency spy network to gather intelligence on nonviolent, antiwar protesters and to disseminate their findings to both the FBI and local police departments.
Activists filed a lawsuit against Thomas Rudd and John Towery — Panagacos v. Towery — in 2007, alleging that the U.S. Army had directed operatives to infiltrate and collect information about the activist movement in the Washington area.
According to the newly released documents, the U.S. Army paid Towery, a Criminal Information and Systems Officer, to spy on the antiwar group Port Militarization Resistance (PMR), as well as the Students for a Democratic Society, the Industrial Workers of the World, and Iraq Veterans Against the War.

The IWW's Organizer Training 101 (OT101) is fundamentally different from any of the union trainings I've ever participated in with my business union. In 2010, I went to the United Food and Commercial Workers' (UFCW) Prairies Youth Activist Retreat. It was five days long and held in a smaller vacation town in Manitoba. We spent the first two days learning the UFCW version of labor history and why we needed to vote for the New Democratic Party (NDP). We had a provincial NDP functionary (the Minister of Justice) come and speak to us about "our" issues. Incidentally, he side-stepped my question about why the NDP cancelled the university tuition freeze. We were told that, because of elections in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, we might be expected to act as volunteers for the NDP's electoral campaigns and that the skills we learned were going to be put into that project.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has reopened all roads shut down Tuesday morning into Wednesday due to icy conditions.
By 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, DOTD crews had reopened all of I-49 and I-220 in Caddo and Bossier Parishes to motorists traveling in both directions.
The Benton Road Railroad Overpass in Bossier City has also reopened.
DOTD crews have already reopened LA 154 at the Lake Bistineau Bridge in Bienville Parish.
Despite the re-openings, DOTD officials remind drivers that during winter weather conditions, motorists should: reduce speed, plan for additional travel time, avoid distracted driving and provide additional spacing between vehicles to allow for longer stopping distances.
Drivers should still take precaution and keep an eye out for ice forming on bridges, overpasses and elevated surfaces. As always, DOTD reminds motorists to buckle up and refrain from drinking and driving.
You can check this story throughout the day for updates as the roads reopen.

I have just returned from a two night break to expereince the new cruise liner, that the Duchess of Kent will be opening. The videos of the cruise look amazing but actually when you finally do embark after the chaos queing its disappointing!! It doesn't have the wow factor at all. The promenade isn't what i thought, a few shops here and there.
If you have children under 3yrs they can not use the pool even if wearing swimmers. No facilities for them to play, although as ship didn't have many children we were allowed to as a one off. There is kids clubs for 3yrs and older which do have some great games etc. The children are not supposed to sleep in the bunks if younger than 10yrs, even though they new the ages of my children when we booked. Balcony rooms are a lot smaller than other ships.
Some good parts, movies under the stars, with popcorn!! The Horizon buffet area was set out well, food was very nice. The spa looked great but we didn't use as very expensive! Watch your bill!! Paid before we left, charges of $11.50pp every day added on as gratitutes even though when you buy a drink 15% is added on. You can get this taken off, but i feel it should be explained before you embark. Summary, wouldn't waste my money again!! If you are 60yrs and over, very rich then this cruise is for you!!

Town Square
MSNBC Anchor: "Children do not belong to their parents."
Original post made by !!! on Apr 8, 2013
Amazing. Socialism, Marxism, Communism...whatever collectivism you prefer to call it. These are the principles of the Democrat party and especially Obama.
America is in an existential battle for its soul and for freedom of the individual. God help us.
Web Link
If you are a Democrat, do you believe in Harris-Perry's statement regarding children? If so, please explain.
on Apr 8, 2013 at 10:17 pm
I'm not a Democrat. But I know how to interpret an appeal for America as a community to care more for all of America's children, and to distinguish it from hair-brained attempts by some idiots (Sarah Palin) to link the appeal to some half-baked idea of Marxist, socialist collectivism. No wonder why conservatives commit suicide more frequently than do liberals. Knowing how to read and interpret does wonders for one's self-esteem -- and conservatives show a conspicuous deficit in this regard.
on Apr 9, 2013 at 12:20 am
I am a democrat, and I don't believe that just because you own property, you are allowed to build a nuclear reactor on it or something like that, but I think this statement is creepy and idiotic.
It is also fairly scary for someone to refer to someone owning people. People own property. People don't own other people, at least not in this country.
The children belong to the community?
Actually, the children belong to themselves, they are individuals, and they aren't owned by anyone including their parents. They aren't property.
At the end of the video, I almost expected to hear "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. Resistance if futile."
on Apr 9, 2013 at 3:53 am
"At the end of the video, I almost expected to hear 'We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. Resistance if futile.'"
That's because you're actually not a Democrat and your head is filled up with all kinds of nonsense that comes from having watched too much t.v. in your lifetime.

Updated 9:00 p.m. ET Tuesday
The NFLPA executive committee wrapped up its meeting Tuesday evening and, according to Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter, did not come to a decision on whether to recommend approval of the settlement of the Brady antitrust case.
The goal appeared to be for the executive committee to approve the settlement and for player reps to vote on it on Wednesday, with the owners' meeting Thursday being the final step.
Reports surfaced earlier Tuesday that plaintiffs in the case are asking for compensation for settling the Brady case. Logan Mankins and Vincent Jackson, both of whom received the franchise tag from their respective teams, are asking to be unrestricted free agents or be given $10 million each.
Drew Brees and Peyton Manning also want compensation, reportedly asking to be exempt from the franchise tag.
The Boston Globe's Greg Bedard reported that Brees, Manning and Jackson had "softened their stances" due to backlash from players. Tuesday evening, Trotter tweeted that Jackson is the only player to not verbally sign off on the settlement.
Brees tweeted, "I hesitate to even dignify the false media reports with a response, but obviously they are leading people astray."
"I want no special perks. My job is to get a fair deal for all players, and I am proud to represent them all — past, present and future," Brees added. "All media claims about me wanting a personal reward for this deal are false. I hope you all know me better than that.
Tom Condon, who represents Brees and Manning, told ESPN's Chris Mortensen, "Drew and Peyton haven't asked for anything individually and continue to be 100 percent behind the players' efforts to resolve the negotiations."
Lawyers for both sides have gone into the evening finishing the paperwork of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. NFL Network's Albert Breer reported that the goal is to present the NFLPA executive committee and the league's labor committee with the completed document on Wednesday.
The way we see it
Assuming that the NFLPA executive committee has yet to approve any settlement, it's possible that is due to the document being unfinished. The timeline of getting the players' approval on Wednesday and owners on Thursday is still very much a viable and expected option, as long as there are no more hurdles, and the plaintiffs' demands appear to be the final one.

Medford bans medical marijuana dispensaries
Oct 16, 2013
MEDFORD — This southern Oregon city will not allow medical marijuana dispensaries to do business in the city limits, despite a new state law permitting its sale through pot shops.
The Medford City Council revoked the license of a dispensary called Maryjane's Attic a few weeks ago, The Mail Tribune reported Tuesday. The owners have appealed.
The action followed the council's expansion last month of an ordinance banning licenses to businesses that violate local, state or federal law.
"I don't see how you could license unlawful activity," Police Chief Tim George said.
After police raided three other medical marijuana dispensaries in May, the city pulled their business licenses.
State Rep. Peter Buckley, an Ashland Democrat who helped craft the law scheduled to go into effect in March, said he hopes cities will hold off imposing their own restrictions on dispensaries until the state finishes ironing out the law's specifics.
"A wild card thrown into this is that the Legislature also passed a bill to regulate (genetically modified) crops," Buckley said. "It regulates all products of seeds at the state level. We're asking counsel to see whether that law would preclude a city or county from regulating medical marijuana."
Until the dispensary law was enacted, Oregon's 55,000 medical marijuana cardholders had to grow their own pot or find someone to grow it for them. Growers could only be paid for their expenses, such as electricity and fertilizer, and not for their labor or make a profit. Some dispensaries operated in a legal gray area, particularly in the Portland area.
The new law was designed to make it easier for cardholders, especially those too old or too sick to grow their own, to get marijuana for their illnesses and to reduce the temptation for growers to sell on the black market.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Tim Lincecum sits three outs away from throwing the first no-hitter of his career, as he has thrown eight no-hit innings against the San Diego Padres.
Lincecum retired the first two Padres in the eighth inning. The starter struck out catcher Rene Rivera to start the inning, his 12th strikeout of the game. Chris Denorfia then hit a groundout to third baseman Pablo Sandoval for the second out of the inning, but Everth Cabrera drew a walk to extend the inning, bringing Alexi Amarista to the plate. Giants right fielder Hunter Pence made a great catch in right field to keep the no-hitter intact.
Lincecum is scheduled to face Chase Headley, Carlos Quentin and Yonder Alonso in the ninth inning. Headley has reached base twice tonight against Lincecum with two walks.
Lincecum has pitched well in Petco Park throughout his career. He entered Saturday with an 2.48 ERA in 80 innings at San Diego, striking out 102 batters while issuing 30 walks. Overall, Lincecum has an 11-6 record against the Padres with a 2.34 ERA in 24 starts.

As such, the popular holiday ornaments in front of the convention center hotel might not be in the same spot next year. The hotel's developer, Matthews Southwest, told the city Monday it wants to build an underground garage in the grassy area in front of the hotel along Lamar Street.
David Snell, Matthews Vice President for Real Estate said, "We're probably looking at around 20 to 25,000 feet of restaurant space sitting on top of the garage in front of the hotel."
The Omni says business at the restaurants is so good the existing 720 space garage can't handle demand. So Matthews wants to add 350 spaces underground with a single story building above for additional restaurants, as visitors have complained of a lack of dining choices nearby.
Ron King, Director of the Dallas Convention Center said, "Any time you can give any of the attendees that come to a convention, give them some alternatives, some variety, that's a positive thing."
The city hopes for a variety of dining and pricing options with the extra restaurants. The hotel's had a successful first year but visitors next year will be around the construction. King discounts the impact.
"I don't see that as really detrimental to the groups because this is all exterior of the hotel, exterior of the convention center so it should be within a contained area so I really don't see it being that impactful," he said.
Matthews wants to start construction in spring using left over revenue bonds and it should take about a year.

Should Mary N Piepho rescind her written endorsement of Brian Dawson ?
Original post made by East County Watch on Nov 15, 2011
"I've known Brian Dawson for a number of years now. I know him to be a compassionate leader who looks out for our community's best interests at all times. Brian has a young family and is very involved as a volunteer on our local school campus. Brian gives tirelessly to others and has been a significant leader on the Discovery Bay CSD. Our community needs to have leaders who will represent the good in Discovery Bay and work productively to improve it. Brian has proven that he is a good listener, forward thinker and is interested in solutions for all. He has earned my vote and I encourage you to support him as well."

Still harping on that Flint/Richardson/Barber/Doran?

PS. Mary Piepho no longer has anything to do with Danville. You people need a hobby.

As far as I know, endorsements don't come with a warranty against all future human errors - its just plain stupid to expect Mary Piepho to have ESP, or to blame her for NOT having it. I've read all the stories about this director, and none of it has anything to do with his ability to serve the community. You people are awful busybodies...
