Maddow Slams Palin's Use of 'Blood Libel' - Before Talking with WaPo Scribe Who Used it in '08 Campaign
Unfortunately for liberals, airbrushing history is so much tougher these days, what with Google and long memories and all.
Here's MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday disparaging Sarah Palin for her condemnation of liberals' kneejerk "blood libel" against conservatives in the wake of the Tucson shooting (audio) --
MADDOW: Also, for the record, blood libel is not a generic term. It is not a tough, vivid way of saying, don't say that mean thing about me! Blood libel is a specific historic thing. Maybe the best, less said about that the better, though.
More conveniently for Maddow and ilk, the less said the better about previous allegations of "blood libel" beyond its historical origin as a calumny against Jews.
[Video below page break]
In the embedded video, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson appears on Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" in October 2008 to discuss the allegation, later recanted, by a white McCain campaign volunteer that a black man robbed her and carved a "B" on her cheek. Here's the relevant exchange between Olbermann and Robinson at 2:15 in the clip --
OLBERMANN: Put if you would for me this narrative, the initial claim, the fact that it's not true, in some racial/historical context for us.
ROBINSON: The historical context is simple. It is the blood libel against black men concerning the defilement of the flower of Caucasian womanhood. It's been with us for hundreds of years and, apparently, is still with us.
Oddly enough, Robinson's previous reference to "blood libel" never came up when he chatted with Maddow on Wednesday, as can be seen on the segment in its entirety here.
Robinson isn't the only frequent Maddow guest to allege "blood libel" entirely removed from its historical origins in anti-Semitism. So has New York Times columnist Frank Rich, on Oct. 16 2006 while referring to former GOP congressman Mark Foley. Here's what Rich wrote, as cited by Jim Geraghty over at NRO's Campaign Spot (along with a dozen other examples, including Robinson's) -- --
The moment Mr. Foley's e-mails became known, we saw that brand of fearmongering and bigotry at full tilt: Bush administration allies exploited the former congressman's predatory history to spread the grotesque canard that homosexuality is a direct path to pedophilia. It's the kind of blood libel that in another era was spread about Jews.
Can't tell you how much I look forward to Maddow telling Robinson and Rich during their next guest appearances to refrain from such Palinesque ignorance in the future.

The country is financially hurting. Unemployment is devastating personal finances and government finances and the media clowns think this blood libel statement is something the country cares about?
We'll see how long the Lefty media can keep flapping gums about something the couintry cares absolutely nothing about when next week the Republicans begin to dismantle the obama agenda.

They got worked up into a frenzy and started flingling baseless accusations around. When the facts came out, they'd found that they've made complete morons out of themselves.
Another mishandled tragedy for Obama and the liberals...
1) they attack Sarah Palin and then she counters in epic style. Blood libel. She delivers the KO punch and they go down and they start whining the sissies. They weren't expected Palin to counter with that. She hit the nail right on the head.
2) the Memorial makes Obama look like an ass hat. The left wing media has been trying to spin it but the damage is done. In front of millions of people, they made a mockery out of a tragedy. He's laughing and grinning it up as Arizona college students cheer at him with fanboy/fangirl zeal.
Did you see how confused Daniel Hernandez looked? The poor guy is still traumatized and then they put him on the spot. It was uneasy seeing him fidget in his seat. A solemn occassion turned into a tacky political circus event.
Obama's administration is a disaster.

Copy and paste, cached pages

Copy and paste, cached pages and screenshot software, combined of course with a population which is absolutely fed up with being spoonfed utter idiocy by Establishment media, is destroying the longstanding powerstructure and indoctrination techniques employed by the political left to support and enable the march toward a communist/socialist revision of this once free nation.
Currently, we see articles like this mostly, but the real deal blows the lid when the half-hour comparison videos of "this" right next to "that" become as common as these exampling articles are becoming today. These articles, these transcripts, and the video evidence they often contain are the truth that the pressure within the cooker is indeed building to dangerous levels for the most dishonest "reporters" among us.
I have long been contemplating when the embarrassment would finally set in with these "journalists". I would like to thank all the folks at NewsBusters and MRC who are providing the best vehicle delivering that very package. At some point, the Rachels and the Kieths and the Eugenes and the Chriss of the world will have no choice but to take delivery, and ownership, of them.

I think the establishment press knows in it's heart that the balance of power and knowledge is returning to the people where it belongs and this creeping perception of their loss of influence is what has them foaming at the mouth.

What else can we expect from the narcissistic Ass Clown? It's never his fault, no matter who, what, where or when, it's always someone else..........and for pretty much two years now, he's gotten away with it.
I have a theory.....it's a black thing. Some, mostly on the left, subconsciously discount ( handicap ) everything he does ( screws up ) reflexively.
They'll deny it's because deep down inside they're all just racist, bigoted bastards, who do not believe a black man measures up as president, but then every single lame street media outlet will spend days on end dissecting and reinterpreting ( spinning ), ad nauseum, what he actually meant, as opposed to what he himself stated........ALWAYS.
I have never before in my lifetime ever witnessed this kind of queer, abhorrent behavioural phenomenon, especially not where the president of the United States of America is concerned......can anyone else explain to me WHY?

Fact is no one cares about Sarah Palin using a common phrase to aptly describe how the leftist media has unfairly treated her. The media mothpieces have had to manufacture a non-controversy in an attempt to not have to admit the effectiveness of her speech or the fact that she has come away from this tragedy stronger after the same press that seeks to destroy her made her a victim through its own disgusting behavior by disgracefully inserting her into the story to begin with. I mean, how is that for karma?

Sarah Palin Is Right About

Boteach is an Orthodox Rabbi.
No one owns the phrase "blood libel". Likewise, no one owns the words "holocaust" or "lynching". To think otherwise is arrogance and/or ignorance. We may initialy associate these words with certain groups, but it would be a gross diservice to history and fact to fail in appropriately identifying others outside our modern sensibilities as victims of these obscenities as well.

Judaism rejects the idea of collective responsibility for murder, as the Hebrew Bible condemns accusations of collective guilt against Jew and non-Jew alike. "The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him" (Ezekiel 18).
I wasn't overly thrilled about her use of the term "blood libel" when I first heard it, but again, she's used a very short turn of phrase to call a thing by its real name, rather than to allow the media to shape and puff and euphamize. Palin has once again reframed the debate (and liberal lies, a la "death panels") in conservative ideations and phraseology.

The coasts are gold with orange and lemon orchards, and each scenic region offers something totally different. When it comes to Sicilian vacation style, the most important thing to keep in mind is your shoes — it's inevitable that you'll do tons of walking, so comfortable footwear is essential. The climate during the Summer months is dry and hot, so keep cool with lots of easy, breezy cotton and linen fabrics. Skirts and sundresses are favored over shorts, so feel free to pack all your ladylike favorites. Whether you're stretched out on the beaches of Lido Mazzarò, hiking Mount Etna, or getting dolled up for La Passeggiata, we've put together some looks that will have you living la dolce vita in no time. What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sicilians tend to dress up come nightfall, when they engage in the Italian tradition of passeggiata, or 'little walk' through the main streets of town before going to dinner. Tourists are usually easy to spot in their shorts and fanny packs, so this pretty, linen-blend Theory dress ($285) will ensure that you fit in with the elegant locals perfectly. For a decadent meal at Ristorante Duomo in Ragusa Ibla, pair this stunner with flat gladiator sandals or a wood-stacked platform. 1 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These Mike Gonzalez Noe Summer Trousers ($165) work well for any activity you have planned. They're perfectly slouchy, with a nautical-chic rope tie and easy neutral gray-green shade. They'll keep you looking comfortable and effortlessly chic whether you're hiking, sightseeing, or enjoying an alfresco lunch at La Buca eatery. 2 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you want a little lift while sightseeing (without sacrificing comfort), try a wedge platform with soft leather straps and a plush insole. These Berklee platforms from Steve Madden ($120) will work perfectly for strolling the streets and shopping for souvenirs. 3 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lido Mazzarò is a Sicily favorite, once a seaside haven of the stars of Hollywood's golden age. Channel your inner glamour girl in this sexy Tavik one-piece ($103) and an oversized pair of House of Harlow 1960 Audrey sunnies ($110), then hit the beach in style. 4 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Drew Tote by Oryany ($266, originally $398) is a super-spacious bag that is guaranteed to hold all of your Summer reading materials, found souvenirs, and maps of Sicily. 6 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Not only is this Demitasse Turquoise and Gold Rosary Necklace ($140) a gorgeous, colorful piece — it features fun turquoise beads in a traditional rosary style — but it'll add a pretty pop of color to your otherwise neutral outfit. 6 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rag & Bone's Isington Skirt ($350) can definitely be dressed up for evening festivities, but would work equally well for a visit to the Galleria Regionale della Sicilia, the city's biggest collection of regional art. 7 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mount Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe and the second most active volcano in the world. Because of the high altitude, you should be prepared for very cold temperatures and wind, even in the middle of Summer. Needless to say, it's best to layer up; this double-layered wool cardigan from Inhabit ($259, originally $370) will keep you warm, and Madewell lace-up sneakers ($38) will look sporty, but still put-together. 8 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This crocheted sun hat from American Apparel ($30) is an affordable buy that will undoubtedly go with any of your ensembles, plus protect you from the beaming Sicilian sun. 9 / 10 What to Wear in Sicily What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK, so you may not actually be wearing this English-Sicilian Dictionary ($11), but if you're not exactly familiar with the language, you'll need to have it pretty close at all times. Sicily has its own Italian dialect that is only spoken on the island and its satellite islands; keeping a dictionary and phrasebook like this handy is ideal (and hey, you can throw it in that chic oversize tote of yours). 11 / 10 0 2 0 0 0 Read More Tavik SwimwearTravel Guide2011 SummerHouse Of Harlow 1960What To WearAsosBack To BasicsRag & BoneShopbopShopping Shopbop 10 Ways to Wear a Little White Dress 7/04 It's Not Too Late to Get the Summer Dress You Wanted, on Sale 7/01 Be a Fan: Wear Your World Cup Pride On Your T-Shirt 6/26 11 Must-Have Finds From Shopbop's Big Sale 4/16 Shopbop Friends & Family Is Here! 4/16 Procrastinators, You're in Luck: Last-Minute Gifting Options 12/24/13 Rag & Bone The Celebrity-Approved Sweater I'm Totally Getting For Myself 4/09 Fashion, Meet Football!

Monday night in San Francisco, Ryan Vogelsong gave the Giants exactly what they needed: a well-pitched game against the St. Louis Cardinals. In the six postseason games before Monday, the Giants hadn't enjoyed a single Quality Start from one of their vaunted starting pitchers. In Game 2, Vogelsong gave them that and more; behind his solid seven innings, the Giants beat the Cardinals 7-1 to even the National League Championship Series at one game apiece.
In the first inning, though, Vogelsong got into a jam and things got a little rough at second base. Jon Jay led off with a drive to deep center field that Angel Pagan hauled in after a long run. Vogelsong walked Carlos Beltran, and Matt Holliday singled.
Uh-oh. Here we went again.
But Allen Craig bounced a potential double-play grounder to shortstop Brandon Crawford, who flipped to second baseman Marco Scutaro to force Holliday, and then ...
So, yeah: no double play. Later, Scutaro would retire from the proceedings, but not before exacting a bit of revenge.
Holliday's "slide" did keep Scutaro from turning the double play, but Vogelsong escaped any non-Scutaro damage by getting Yadier Molina on an easy grounder.
Angel Pagan led off the top of the first against Chris Carpenter, and blasted Carpenter's fourth pitch over the big wall in right field. Scutaro came up next and singled, but the Giants wouldn't score again in the inning. And in the top of the second, Carpenter himself evened the score with a double that knocked home Pete Kozma, who'd just drawn a two-out walk.
Vogelsong, though, would settle down. Carpenter would not. Not for long, anyway. After uneventful second and third innings, the Giants got to Carpenter in the fourth.
Hunter Pence led off and grounded out, but Brandon Belt doubled and Gregor Blanco singled, Belt stopping at third. Brandon Crawford came up and hit a little swinging bunt down the first-base line. With Belt sprinting home, Carpenter made an awkward throw toward first base that Allen Craig couldn't handle; all hands were safe, with Carpenter getting stuck with a tough error. Vogelsong sacrificed the runners over. And after Angel Pagan walked to load the bases, up came Scutaro ... who drove a single into left field; even better (for Scutaro and the Giants and the scales of Justice), Holliday let the ball get through his legs, which allowed an extra run to score.
That made it 5-1, and that's where it stayed for a while. Vogelsong didn't give up any more runs through the seventh inning, and the Cardinals' bullpen held the Giants scoreless until the ninth, when the home team tacked on a couple of insurance runs; Ryan Theriot, who replaced Scutaro in the sixth, knocked home both runs with a single.
In the ninth, Giants closer Sergio Romo gave up a leadoff single to Yadier Molina, but made quick work of the Cardinals from there, striking out Kozma to end the game and even the series.
For you trivia buffs, Vogelsong became the first Giants pitcher to hit a double in a postseason game since Diamond Jack Bentley doubled in the 1923 World Series.
Tuesday's a travel day, and the NLCS resumes with Game 3 on Wednesday in St. Louis, with San Francisco's Matt Cain slated to start against Kyle Lohse.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta issued rulings Monday regarding immigration laws from Alabama and from Georgia. Now, officials are reacting to the developments.
Regarding Alabama's law, commonly referred to as HB 56, the Court threw out Section 28, which is the provision that required schools to collect data on the immigration status of students who enroll in school.
The Court has temporarily blocked two sections of the law, Section 10 and Section 27. Section 10 is also known as the "papers please" section. It created a state crime if an immigrant was not carrying an alien registration document. Section 27 forbid citizens from entering into contracts with illegal immigrants.
DOCUMENT: [11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on immigration law (.pdf)]
The Court upheld Sections 12(a), 18, 30 of the law. Section 12(a) allows police to detain suspected illegal aliens. Section 18 required authorities to make a reasonable effort to determine the immigration status of a driver found not to be carrying a driver's license. Section 30 forbid any illegal immigrant from entering into a business transaction with the state or any political subdivision thereof.
The Court found that if the case were to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, the United States is likely to succeed in the following sections of the law: 10, 11(a), 13(a), 16, 17 and 27.
Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange issued a one sentence statement saying, "While we are still reviewing today's ruling, we are pleased that the court recognized the validity of our arguments and upheld several provisions of Alabama's law."
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley echoed those remarks saying, "The essence of Alabama's immigration law has been upheld by today's ruling..." Bentley says the law is needed, "because the federal government has refused to enforce its own policies. The federal government has also failed to approach immigration reform in a comprehensive manner."
Opponents of the law, including the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), hailed the 11th Circuit's ruling as a victory saying the court, "...sent a strong message to Alabama and other states that they cannot enact hate-filled laws to try to drive an entire class of people from their borders."
SPLC legal director Mary Bauer said the organization, "...will continue to challenge the provisions left in place because, as we have already seen in Alabama, these laws cannot be enforced without racial profiling."
Alabama's immigration law is considered the toughest in the nation, but the federal government sued, arguing the state had overstepped its authority. The federal government contends that Congress has the sole power to legislate issues dealing with immigration. issue. to legislate a matter that's solely a federal power.
"The core of Alabama's immigration law remains that if you live or work in the state, you should do so legally," Bentley said. "It is time now to move past court battles and focus on enforcement of Alabama's law..."

---- — IPSWICH — An Ipswich woman who admitted to molesting her own two children for years, in what a veteran prosecutor said might be the worst case of sexual abuse he had ever seen, now wants permission from a judge to vacation in New Hampshire with her sister this summer.
Mary Chadwick, 66, pleaded guilty to 16 child rape and indecent assault and battery charges in September 2000 and received a five-year state prison term, to be followed by 10 years of probation, which she is still serving.
During her sentencing, prosecutor Gerald Shea described "years" of abuse of the two children, starting in the 1980s and continuing into their teen years, when it was eventually disclosed to a guardian.
Last week, she asked her probation officer for permission to take the vacation out of state and was denied. Yesterday, she and a lawyer were in front of Salem Superior Court Judge David Lowy, making the same request.
Lowy also denied the travel permit.
Under a policy in effect for all probationers across the state, out-of-state travel is not permitted except in situations where there is an emergency or permission from a judge is given, probation chief Martin Wallace told the judge.
Wallace told the judge that in 2007 Chadwick was allowed to travel out of state to see her son before he was deployed overseas.
But he told the judge he would not allow her to travel simply to take a vacation.
"If I do it for her, I've got to do it for everyone," Wallace said.
But Rebecca Whitehill, who represented Chadwick yesterday, said that policy was adopted only recently, more than a decade after Chadwick pleaded guilty. There was no mention of any restriction on travel during the sentencing, she argued.
Chadwick has been "completely compliant" with the terms of her probation, Whitehill said. The conditions originally included a no-contact order with her children and a requirement that she have no contact with children under 17.
"It just seems there's no legitimate justification for this restraint on her right to travel," argued Whitehill.
But Lowy pointed to case law that does give the state probation commissioner the right to set such a policy.
The judge suggested that the only way to appeal the probation decision would be to file suit.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Senior Caitlin Shawver (Lauderdale by the Sea, Fla./Barry/ Northeast HS) recorded a game-high nine kills as the FGCU Volleyball squad (2-4 overall) was swept by Oregon State (2-3 overall) (25-15, 25-11, 25-16) on Friday evening in the their first match of the Active Ankle Challenge.
Oregon State jumped out to a quick 7-2 lead in the first set, but the Eagles battled back to make the score 17-14 after an attack error by OSU. The Beavers then wrapped up the set with an 8-1 run to take the 25-15 win.
Oregon State continued their solid play as they took the second set with a .375 hitting percentage. OSU jumped out to a 12-2 run and would hold off the Eagles to take the second set 25-11.

Oregon State's Jill Sawatzky registered nine kills, adding a pair of aces and seven digs, while Camillle Saxton had eight kills and four blocks for the Beavers
Shawver's game-high nine kills paced the Eagles' offense. Shawver also recorded three digs, two block assists, and one solo block. Junior Holly Youngquist (Estero, Fla./Evangelical Christian) had a match-high 16 digs.

Customer Reviews - Eco Genics Scraper Mat
Showing 3 of 7 reviews See all reviews
Pat Hart" by Pat Hart
At last a mat which stops the mud at the door and works. Even with my dog and grandchildren running in and out of the house this mat has helped to keep my beautiful stone floor clean. I have even been back to store to buy another.
Great Mat" by Richard
This picks up the dirt well and after 6 months use still looks like new. Other reviews of a different colour were complaining about the edges fraying. There is no 'edge' to the mat (it's just cut out of a larger sheet of material) and as such there were some loose bits of material at the edges. I gave it a good going over with the hoover and that was the end of that, no further fraying.
Hug Rug" by Miss bryan
Amazing mat! I love the fact there is a tougher bristle to remove even more of the dirt off my muddy horsey boots. This mat is a must for every front and back door!

Only one game to discuss on the day, which comes to us from Donetsk, Ukraine where HC Donbass took on Dinamo Riga, the lone Latvian representative in the KHL. The game would be rather close until quite late on when Donbass would score with 6:21 left in the game and then with 4:28 left to win this game by a 4-2 margin, good for 3 points in the standings.
Alexei Ponikarovsky managed 18:08 of ice time in which he managed 2 shots and a trip to the sin bin for high sticking. He was not on the ice for any of the 6 goals in this match which is both good and bad. Seeing as his team won, I would think he'd say it's mostly good.

Fabric 56th installment of their infamous mix series will be mixed by non-other than Chicago pioneer, Derrick Carter. Derrick will bring his unique blend of Chicago jack house to the mix.
"I produce all the time. I put a few specials on my fabric album from my private stock. I re-edit a lot of things. I have a different dancefloor vision. I like to think of it like sports tuners. They get a nice car and it works well enough but they tune it so that it fits their needs. Better performance, add some growl! It's the same thing, I fix it up so it works for me, so when I play it, I get more power at lower revs, so to speak."
"I was trying to get as close to a set as I could. One that spans time and goes from maybe 10 years ago, to some stuff that's not released, to some stuff that wont be released other than on this album. That's how a real set is for me, I have some new stuff, some old stuff, some special stuff. I tried to give it that kind of treatment so it's authentic, and real and valid and present. It's Derrick. All day."

Hollywood and football have had a kinship for as long as the moving image has been around. Since the very first film to showcase the sport, 1914's 'Strongheart,' football movies have taken us inside the lines to showcase the ferocious hits and acrobatic moves that makes the game so popular, while other times putting us inside the locker room to see the coach give a rousing speech that leaves us with chills.
So before you sit down and watch the big game while scarfing down an unhealthy amount of nachos, wings and beer, relive our top 10 moments from football flicks. With Super Bowl Sunday only days away we thought we'd do our part in celebrating this "national holiday" by compiling the best football scenes ever put on celluloid.

So before you sit down and watch the big game while scarfing down an unhealthy amount of nachos, wings and beer, relive our top 10 moments from football flicks.
10. 'The Last Boy Scout' (1991)
Though director Tony Scott doesn't care much for the rules of sports (why he would ever think we'd buy a baseball game being played in monsoon-like conditions at the end of 'The Fan' is beyond us), it's the absurdity of 'Boy Scout's' opening scene that makes it number 10 on our list. Billy Blanks (yes, Mr. Tae Bo himself) plays a troubled football star who, let's just say, commits a little unnecessary roughness during one play. Again, Scott brings the rain.
9. 'The Waterboy' (1998)
Adam Sandler had already put his own twist on the game of golf before grabbing the pigskin and embodying the simple-minded H2O fanatic Bobby Boucher. In this scene, through the help of his football coach (Henry Winkler), Boucher channels years of torment to become college's hardest hitting linebacker.
8. 'Jerry Maguire' (1996)
In his Oscar-winning performance as Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell, Cuba Gooding Jr. epitomizes the modern-day athlete: brash, unapologetic and cocky. But taking a hit like this you also have to have guts (though realistically he probably should have gotten flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for his celebrating... or am I thinking of Cuba's Oscar acceptance speech?). Oh, and ignore the bitter Ravens fan clip in the beginning of the video.
7. 'The Program' (1993)
When this unflinching look at collegiate football came out in theaters, parents were shocked by what they saw (in fact, a scene that had players laying in the middle of a busy street was cut out because kids were imitating it), but there was no denying that some of the things highlighted were spot on. Our most memorable scene is any one in which Alvin Mack (Duane Davis) is on the field (sorry Lattimer fans).
6. 'Remember The Titans' (2000)
Denzel Washington has always been able to captivate an audience, but as coach Herman Boone we have to believe his talents can motivate a group of boys in 1971 to become the first interracial football team in Alexandria, Virginia. As you see here, Denzel is up for the challenge.
5. 'Horse Feathers' (1932)
The Marx Brothers bring the laughs to the gridiron in their fourth feature film. Groucho plays the president of a college who, in hopes to beat a rival school, recruits professional players, but instead gets bootleggers (played by Chico and Harpo). The film concludes with the big game, and the Marx Brothers at their best.
4. 'Any Given Sunday' (1999)
Looking at professional football through the eyes of Oliver Stone is a strange one: Cameron Diaz is a team owner and all the uniforms look like they were made for the XFL. But as you see in this scene, you can't deny Stone's love for the game and his appreciation of its history.
3. 'Friday Night Lights' (2004)
Adapted from H.G. Bissinger's book about a 1988 Odessa, Texas high school team's journey to the state championship, this 'Hoosiers'-esque story is regarded as one of the most realistic films about high school football. With slick hand-held camera work, director Peter Berg puts us in the middle of the state championship game.
2. 'Knute Rockne All American' (1940)
This scene paved the way for any inspirational speech you've seen in sports movies. Based on the hospital bed speech given by Notre Dame great George Gipp to his coach Knute Rockne days before he would die of a throat infection, Gipp (played by Ronald Regan) tells Rockne (Pat O'Brien) that when the team is down to have them go out there and "Win One for the Gipper." Rockne does just that, and the team's inspired play leads to them beating undefeated Army.
1. 'Rudy' (1993)
We return to South Bend for the true story of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger. Determined to play for Notre Dame despite hardly having the talent or size to do so, Rudy (Sean Astin) spends two years at the school adjacent (and goes through three transfer rejections) to get into Notre Dame, then makes it on the Fighting Irish's practice squad, then finally gets in the last play of the last game in his senior year. If you don't have goosebumps watching then check your pulse.
Honorable Mention: 'The Longest Yard' (1974)
Though we couldn't find video of it, you can't do a list on best scenes in football movies without mentioning the final scene of Robert Aldrich's classic. The film not only revived the sports genre in the '70s -- with films like 'Bad News Bears,' 'Rocky' and 'Slap Shot' soon to follow -- but the goal line finale is one of the best executed scenes in heightening the drama and anticipation of "4th & Inches." There's the excellent score, the split screen of all the characters watching throughout the prison yard, and finally ... the pause right before the ref's touchdown call with no time left on the clock. If you own it, put the scene on before the Super Bowl. It'll get you ready.

Sarah Jessica Parker joined Kate Hudson on the red carpet last night for amfAR's Inspiration Gala at Milk Studios California.
The actress wore a vintage Chanel jumpsuit.
Her spaghetti-strap look was styled with a quilted black sequin jacket which she removed once inside the venue.
This look is so simple, but I'm sure many of you are groaning that SJP appeared to over-accessorize again.
I mean what does she need to carry that would required a bag that big on the red carpet and does she really need three necklaces with this look?
Black Manolo Blahnik pumps and wavy tresses provided the finishing touches.

PEORIA Ill -- Well over 100 workers will lose their job at the plant on the south side of Peoria.
While many will soon be looking for new jobs, other Peoria residents will be missing one of their lifelong favorite treats.
"We didn't want this. I'm sure the people in their didn't want this, and we are sad that it came down to this," said Union Chief Steward, Kravis Pfeiffer.
Striking Peoria workers were in shock after they heard the news.
Hostess Brands Incorporated announced they will be closing down all of their factories, keeping stores open until they sell their already packaged goods.
But in Peoria, Twinkies, Ho-Ho's and Snowballs have been flying off the shelves ever since the strike began last week, leaving stores like the Bakery Outlet in Peoria practically empty.
Those longing for one of its many sweet treats are at a loss.
"If you're real little you can see the commercials on there. The little cartoon characters. It's like man your losing all the stuff you have from your youth.," said local resident, David Hubner.
"I'm very upset. It's an iconic day. Been in the southside of peoria since I was a child. And we would always like to go by and smell the bread even," said Peoria Resident, Dorene Besco.
With Hostess stores around the nation selling out all inventory, striking employees are beginning to accept the end of their long fight.
The plant's effect on the community is something that Mayor Ardis says can't be replaced.
"That's well over 100 jobs in the part of the community. Where the plant is in, it's a very stable part of the community, We are gonna miss that too. It's going to be extremely difficult for someone else to come in and take the place of that," said Peoria Mayor, Jim Ardis
Many in the area continue to stock up on their favorite snacks before it's too late.
Because soon, along with hundreds of jobs, hostess favorites will be gone.
Rumors have circled of possible buyers such as the Mexican food conglomerate, Grupo Bimbo.

Milwaukee Brewers: Taylor Jungmann (RHP, University of Texas)
Depleted by trades and promotions, the Brewers farm system is very thin and they need help in all departments. Taylor Jungmann has dominated college competition for the Longhorns with a 90-95 MPH fastball, slider, and changeup. Although some scouts worried early in his career that his mechanics would result in an injury, he's been very durable thus far, and his 6-6, 220 pound body has absorbed innings without much trouble, though he looked a bit tired in his last start for Texas according to some observers.
Jungmann projects as a number two starter if all goes well. He isn't just a thrower; he's got a great feel for pitching, and has thrived under pressure in college. His statistical dominance makes him attactive from a performance basis. He instantly becomes Milwaukee's best pitching prospect as soon as he signs, and he could be in the majors within two years.

Unfortunately I have found the room disappointing. There is grungy build up in the bathroom corners. The ceiling in the entrance area of the room is an industrial grill with the hvac not well hidden. Also surprising is that there is a small screen tube television...I am surprised there is no flat screen. The remote has grunge from several previous guests on it.

Amazingly convenient location to transportation and good for tourist spots and shopping. The rooms are on the small side, but VERY comfortable. We had a fold-out murphy bed for a child which was very comfortable. The staff was very efficient and helpful. Valet parking was simple and convenient. Free internet. Big hotel type of personality, but nice style. Would recommend this for comfort and ease.

The majority of my issues were with the cleaning staff at the hotel. Several times we had to ask for them to bring us soap as they did not replenish the toiletry items we had used each day. Also, we had to call them to clean our toilet bowl after they had done the room already because it was clearly not cleaned as part of their regular cleaning. Pretty gross. Robes were not replaced when the worn ones were taken to be cleaned. Extra towels were brought to the room upon request but then cleaning staff did not replace used towels with same number of towels, so we had to keep calling for more. Really bizarre. In terms of the free wi-fi in the lobby, it was extremely slow when many people were down in the lobby using it. Lastly, I know there was a heat wave happening when we were there but the room would just not get cool enough, very hard to sleep dripping in sweat. Also - a bar that closes at 12:30 or 1? really odd. The concierge. Ok, first day he sent us to a restaurant that was closed. Then we told him we were headed for the Icebar one night and he did not mention at all that we needed a reservation. Very poor.

My experiences with the traavel agency have all been very positive, including my latest stay in beautiful, but very expensive Stockholm. We needed a hotel for one night, as we were getting on a cruise ship to tour the Baltic. Arriving at the no-frills Best Western before check-in time, we were greeted by the very helpful front desk clerk, and were told that we could check in early. The only gripe was a lack of bellboy or even a cart to carry our nine pieces of luggage up to the room. However, we managed, and the clean, bright room we found was most welcoming. The bathroom was also great, modern, and very clean. A superior breakfast buffet was provided the next morning, and again the staff helped us check our luggage in their safe luggage room, so we could tour the city before boarding our ship. The hotel is located in a charming residential area, just about a thirty minute walk from the main area of Stockholm. The walk was on a very interesting main street, filled with restaurants and ...

Nothing in particular.
Breakfast started at 7.15am. which was too late for our flight. A requested breakfast box was not prepared. The hotel restaurant was never open and room service was advertised but not available. The wifi code was changed by the hotel without advising us.There is no assistance with the suitcases and the elevator is so small that it takes multiple trips to get your suitcases to the room. There is only one person on duty at the front desk most of the time, and if they are busy the phone is not answered.

Police seek man in assault caseNovember 21,2013BENNINGTON A $5,000 warrant has been issued for the arrest of a local man who got into a fight with a police officer Tuesday and then failed to appear in court Wednesday.
Alvin Aiken Jr., 34, of Bennington, was due in Bennington district court Wednesday to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges of violation of an abuse prevention order, violation of conditions of release, resisting arrest and assault on a law enforcement officer.
After he failed to appear, Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett asked for an arrest warrant for $5,000 which was granted by Judge Nancy Corsones. Barrett said police had been looking for Aiken.
Not only are we concerned right now that hes going to harm himself or someone else, we believe that hes a flight risk and weve been trying to track him down since this morning, Barrett said.
In an affidavit, Cpl. Andy Hunt of the Bennington Police Department said police had been called around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday by a woman who has an abuse prevention order against Aiken. The woman said Aiken was outside the door of her Bennington home.
Hunt said when he got to the home, he found Aiken bleeding from what Hunt believed were self-inflicted wounds caused by a straight razor that Aiken was holding. Hunt said he ordered Aiken to drop the razor but Aiken refused and told Hunt, Youre going to have to shoot me.
Because of the presence of the razor, Hunt said he struck Aiken and performed a takedown maneuver. Hunt said Aiken continued to resist and he needed the help of other police officers to take Aiken into custody.
Aiken was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, Hunt said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and...

MAN OUT OF TIMEA comics news article
Brandon Graham and Simon Roy's brilliant re-imagining of Rob Liefeld's PROPHET doesn't hit stores until Wednesday, but it's already sold out at the distribution level today. Image has announced a second printing of PROPHET #21 is being rushed to press as back orders for the first issue of the Extreme relaunch continue to grow.
Kicking off an all-new era for Rob Liefeld's Extreme titles, PROPHET #21 opens with John Prophet awakening from cryosleep in the distant future on an Earth that has been inhabited by alien settlers. His mission is simple: Re-start the human empire. Critically acclaimed KING CITY creator Brandon Graham heads up the visionary new creative team on PROPHET, with up and coming artist Simon Roy (JAN'S ATOMIC HEART) providing the breathtaking visuals. The first issue features a painted cover by Russ Manning Award winner Marian Churchland (BEAST, ELEPHANTMEN), plus a variant cover by Rob Liefeld. The second printing cover will feature an all-new image by Roy.
"This is one of those situations where I hate to say something as glib as 'We told you so,' but in the nicest way possible: We did," said Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. "There's been review after glowing review, along with rousing endorsements from the likes of Warren Ellis – it's not a secret Brandon and Simon have turned in a brilliant first issue. It's always nice to be able to say orders on a book have continued to climb post-FOC, but personally, I think it's better to actually have books on the stands.
"We're going back to press on PROPHET #21 to help retailers grow their orders on this excellent new series, but I'd recommend taking a second look at orders on issue #22 and GLORY #23, as well. PROPHET only gets better from here, and for it's just the tip of the Extreme iceberg."
Added Graham: "I'm really looking forward to being able to do all the barbarian science fiction ideas we've got planned for this series. The freedom Rob and Eric are giving us to take this character and run off the board with it has been fantastic."

PROPHET #21 (NOV110358), a 32-page full-color comic book for $2.99, is on sale in stores and digital platforms this Wednesday, January 18, while supplies last. The second printing of PROPHET #21 (NOV118136) is now available for reorder and will be back in stores the week before PROPHET #22 (DEC110566) hits on February 15.

Homestead exemption nixed
- February 8, 2008
- |
by Jessica Sabbath
A proposal to give localities the option to reduce real estate taxes for homeowners died Thursday after a powerful push against it from state business organizations.
The proposed constitutional amendment, which passed both state chambers last year, would have given localities the option to exempt 20 percent of a home's assessed value. The proposal, first brought up by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine during his gubernatorial campaign, was designed to reduce the local tax burden on homeowners after assessments skyrocketed.
It was defeated in the Senate Finance Committee although it had already passed the House of Delegates. If approved by the General Assembly, it would have gone to voters this fall.
The proposal would shift the tax burden to industrial and commercial properties. The business lobby was also concerned that localities may turn to other buisness taxes to make up for lost revenue.

Intellectual Property: From Creation to Commercialisation - A Practical Guide for Innovators & Researchers John P Mc Manus
ISBN 9781781190258 Published 2012 (e2012) ePub ebook (NOTE: REGISTER before buying this title for automatic post-purchase download)
For many knowledge-intensive or technology-based start-up companies, the professional management of intellectual property (IP) is critically important. In fact, IP may be the main asset by which the value of a young company is determined and on which decisions to invest in the company are based – and so IP needs to be considered very early in the planning process.
Intellectual Property: From Creation to Commercialisation provides a detailed grounding for innovators and researchers. The book starts with the source of innovation – that is, at the point where resourcefulness and creativity combine to develop new opportunities through problem-solving – and examines the critical steps that need to be carefully managed in the process surrounding the creation of IP and managing its development from concept through to exploitation. This involves the steps of identifying, capturing and assessing the value of IP. Useful recommendations for managing the transfer of IP from a research environment to the knowledge economy are provided and case studies illustrate pitfalls to watch out for.
Readers can expect to gain a broad understanding of IP and the innovation process. Specifically, they will learn:

---- — To the editor:
I have 44 years of experience in working at or with local housing authorities in the Pacific Northwest. I also teach Fundamentals for Housing Authority Commissioners and Ethics for Commissioners.
I have been following the Massachusetts governor's proposal to "solve" the type of problem found with the Chelsea Housing Authority. While I believe that the proposal is well-intentioned, and while on occasion some problems can be solved by introducing a larger organization — regionalization would probably help low-income households find housing without applying to multiple housing authorities all over Massachusetts — I also believe that the governor is making a serious mistake with his idea (the Times, news story, Monday, Jan. 15, editorial, Tuesday, Jan. 16).
The critics of the plan are right about local control being best. Creation of a larger, likely-to-be-unresponsive-to-local-needs bureaucracy will not necessarily bring ethical conduct to this field of endeavor. The larger organizations are likely to reduce the all-important aspect of customer service and create other large bureaucracy-type problems.
The solution is not always easy, but it is relatively simple. You remove the offenders and find new oversight to make sure that the program/agency is properly administered and managed.
If one employee at your news organization was found to be incompetent, you would not fire everyone and give the reporting responsibilities to a newspaper in Boston, would you?

Women's Tennis Set to Host Ball State and Penn in Spring Break Dual Matches
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU (4-2) women's tennis team looks to continue what has been a successful start to the 2013 dual match season when it hosts Ball State and Penn on Tuesday and Friday afternoon this week at the FGCU Tennis Complex.
FGCU will take on a Ball State team on Tuesday, March 5 at 2:00 p.m. that was busy over the first two months of the spring season. The Cardinals played a total of twelve matches over a five week span and went 7-5 in the contests. Ball State may have fatigue against them as they will be taking on FGCU less than 24 hours after having fishing facing James Madison in Orlando on Monday, March 4.
Freshman standouts Johanna Sterkel (Schwetzingen, Germany/Carl-Theodor-Schule HS) and Elizabeth Means (Wesley Chapel, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch HS) look to lead the charge for FGCU during the busy week. Each of the first year Eagles sport 5-1 records in singles matches this season. All of Sterkel's five singles triumphs have come in two-set sweeps and four of Means' five singles wins have been in straight sets with her fifth victory coming in comeback fashion against Iowa State (Feb. 18).
On Friday, March 8 at 2:00 p.m. FGCU will face off against a Penn squad that is 6-2 on the year and 2-0 in matches played in the state of Florida in 2013 which includes wins over James Madison and Stetson. The meeting between FGCU and Penn will conclude a three-match trip in Florida for the Quakers.
The Green and Blue will look to turn up their intensity from the start by seizing the doubles point in both matches, which is something they have only been able to do in two of their first six matches in the 2013 spring season.
The Ball State and Penn contests with serve as the second and third matches of a six-match homestand that is the longest of the 2013 season for the Eagles. Admission to both matches at the FGCU Tennis Complex is free.
Following the matches, results and a recap from the dual match action will be available at www.FGCUATHLETICS.com.
