Bobby Rainey, Brian Leonhard to replace him. Aaron Wilson
Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano confirmed that running back Mike James will miss the remainder of the regular season due to a broken ankle.
James suffered the injury in Monday night's win over Miami. It was Tampa Bay's first win of the season.
The Buccaneers are now without their top two running backs they opened their season with. Doug Martin was recently placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury.
It will likely be a committee approach for replacing James. After he went down Monday night, Brian Leonhard and Bobby Rainey split carries throughout the remainder of the game.
Leonhard received 20 carries and recorded 57 yards. Rainey ran the ball eight times for 45 yards and a touchdown, which came on a 31-yard rush.
Before his injury, James had five carries for 45 yards.

The Texans kept Andre Johnson limited in Thursday's practice, but he is not expected to miss any playing time this week. Houston takes on the New York Jets on Monday night, so Johnson will have an extra day to prepare for Week 5's matchup.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson has been off and on through four weeks of the season. He went off in Week 1, but aside from a touchdown in Week 3 he hasn't made much of an impact for his owners. The Texans have no problem running the ball all day long. Given the fact that they get up early on a lot of teams these days, and with Matt Schaub spreading the ball around, Johnson's value is somewhat up in the air each week. He's a dangerous threat still, but he won't always produce big numbers.

And now, a few short items related to California wine.
Home winemakers, get ready to compete again
California hosts a thriving home winemaker scene, but one of its most popular competitions has been MIA since 2012. However, the California State Fair Home Wine Competition returns in May. At its height, the competition judged 1,200 wines submitted by amateur winemakers across the state, but was shelved due to budget constraints, venue conflicts and other factors.
Judging for the competition will be held May 10 at Cal Expo, with the competition now overseen by Davis home winemakers Tom and Rebecca Ramme. This competition has become a kind of proving grounds for amateurs before they make the leap into commercially bonded wineries.
For more information about competing, or serving as a volunteer for the event, send an email to the Rammes: wineevents4fun
Exports set a record
Domestic wine exports continue to expand, with four straight years of record growth. According to the Wine Institute, a San Francisco-based trade organization for California's wine industry, 2013's wine exports reached a record $1.55 billion in revenues. That figure marks a 16.4 percent increase over 2012. Volume shipments in 2013 meanwhile reached more than 48 million cases, a 7.5 percent increase over the previous year.
The global thirst for domestic wine continues, with California responsible for 90 percent of these exports. Europe ranks as the top export market, followed by Canada. While Asia's recently been a hot market for domestic wines, the final export numbers were mixed depending on region. Exports were down 12 percent to Hong Kong, and down 7 percent in Japan. The value of wine exports to China were up 6 percent, and up 16 percent to South Korea.
"While the U.S. remains our largest, most important market, California exports a fifth of its wine, and we are on track to reach our goal of $2 billion in exports by 2020," said Robert Koch, president of the Wine Institute, in a statement.

One word, in my opinion, sums up this principal at Woodside--"class." Much undeserving mud has been slung at his school, and he has handled it with poise and intelligence. I imagine we will be hearing more about this incredible young man in years to come. Keep your heads up Woodside.

You did not read that correctly. David's oldest child is 5. He was trying to make the point that there are good options out there on the district, including the charters. He has the right to exercise choice, and he truly believes that a student has to find the right fit.
Your statement about placement is absurdly inaccurate. Woodside uses a number of measures for student placement. You should really visit before you post such inaccuracies.

You know how when you move out of a place, you throw out a majority of your stuff, but a few things you just slide into the cubbyhole behind the washer/dryer? Maybe nothing significant. Just something to leave your mark, like an old pair of underwear. Then in a few years, maybe ten, you go back to your old place, knock on the door and ask to see what they've done with the place. Once inside, you ask if you can launder your pants and while in the basement, you check for your old underwear, and there they are. You shake the rat droppings off them, breath them in and they still smell of you. What? You've never done this? Okay, you're weird, but Jake Peavy did, and now he's going to get to smell his old gotchies that he left in the NL West. San Francisco has a lot of hills and their pitching staff has gone over all of them. They'd like Petit more if he had more T's and E's in his last name. Want to spot a Giants starter in San Fran? Find a hill, go over it. They're on the other side. This is a boost for Peavy's value. Obvi! He had a 7.5 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9, which is borderline streamer in most shallower mixed leagues, but that was the AL East, and even while he's been in the AL the last few years (while not pitching that great), he's been solid vs. NL teams. They have no DH! The pitcher hits! Etc. Etc. Etc. Last night against the NL West's best offense outside of Coors, he had a line of 6 IP, 3 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks. I'd take a flyer on Peavy in all leagues, and his next matchup on the Stream-o-Nator says it agrees. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Like a good Jewish boy, Brad Ausmus said to his Bubbie, "Bubbie, I love sulfites, nitrates and pig a**holes, but every time I see a Nathan's, I get the runs. Bubbie, do you have a remedy?" His Bubbie lowered her knitting and said, "You need to get a goddamn decent closer!" And so it was done. Unfortunately, due to being wracked with guilt (or possibly due to a rather hard knock on the head), Ausmus couldn't pull the trigger and said Nathan will remain the closer. Oh. WHAT?! The Rangers traded Joakim Soria to the Tigers because Joe Nathan is making Detroit look even lousier. I can't imagine Soria remains the set-up man for very long, since Nathan owns a 5.89 ERA and has looked completely lost for the better part of the season. For now, I'd hold both of them. Over in Texas, I have a rooting interest in Neal Cotts getting saves, because I own him and not Neftali Feliz. If I had my druthers, and knew what the hell druthers were — hmm, maybe then I do have druthers — I would grab Neftali first. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The issue with writing for a site like Razzball, I've learned, is that you expend too much mental energy trying to come up with cute ways of saying everything. At least for those of us whose "written humor" is still somewhat of a work in progress, this is true. Needless to say, in just the past minute alone I've thought of so many dumb, unfunny ways of saying "I'm back!" that I'm embarrassed to share a single one, and will proceed as dully as possible. Yes, I've returned from my three week European extravaganza. There it is. Now instead of flirting with Australian chicks one year out of Uni in hostel bars, I'm back in the States ready to dispense you with the highest quality fantasy advice this country can offer. (You won't believe how good German Grey is.)
In case you've forgotten or are just joining us here at LM for the first time, my goal is to highlight hitters to add for games on the short-slated days of Monday and Thursday. Filling out your lineup on these days is a basic tenet of fantasy leagues with daily moves and to be quite frank, you probably ain't winning any titles in a competitive unless you put in the time to do this. Prior to my trip I posted here twice a week but that was before I packed my bags and got a soul-sucking office job, so now I'm going to synthesize those into one article that covers both days.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As any DFS player knows, the daily grind of fantasy sports can be downright One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest-kind of maddening. When you hit a cold spell that drains your bankroll and has you questioning your sanity (not now, voices in my head!) you may start to think it's time to get a girlfriend or maybe just try throw a sink through the window. Your humble-but-nonetheless-certifiable Guru hit one of those cold streaks before the break that approached Game of Thrones-winter-is-coming-sized proportions. (Cuckoos Nest and GOT references in the first paragraph?! Genius!)
The bankroll took a big dent and my January in Cancun fund may turn out to be February in Fargo. The cold streak can be attributed to a couple of things: 1) Baseball is completely unpredictable. No sport has more variance – anyone that claims to be an expert may need a weekend with Nurse Ratched; 2) Bad bankroll management. Ouch! I broke my own unwritten-but-about-to-be-written rules about taking care of my green. When it comes to not fudging the finances there are five things I usually do and don't do. 1) Stay up to date on the weather, injuries and lineups. Nothing is more frustrating than spending big on Jose Abreu then seeing he's not in the lineup or having stacked the Tigers only to see it starts raining frogs in Detroit in the third inning. 2) Don't wager more than you can afford to lose. Whether your bankroll is $5 or $5,000, never wager more than 10% on any given night. Despite what Mr. Gekko may say, greed is not good. 3) Don't chase losses. If you crapped out in the early games don't try to recoup in the late games. Take your lump for the night and know tomorrow is a new day full of unicorns and rainbows. 4) Avoid multi-entry GPP's. This is tough when you see a contest that'll let you turn your $10 into $10,000. The odds of your one entry winning are not good. Those high roller, multi-entry tanks are filled with sharks that'll be throwing out multiple lineups and running 10 team trains that'll leave you crying in your Corona. I saw a guy run a 50 team train recently that cashed big for him, but left everyone else busted. He was later found in the trunk of his Caddie with his winnings shoved up his caboose. 5) Don't play if it doesn't feel right. Great analysis, Guru. Thanks, disembodied voice that sounds slightly like my ex, Brenda. Sorry you're still pissed I sold your 1989 Mazda Miata to pay off my debts, but I'm a degenerate gambler and that car sucked. If you can't get a lineup together that you're confident in don't play it – unless you just want to hand me your $5. I'll gladly accept it.
We have 6 games this afternoon and 9 on the evening slate today at DraftKings with a few aces on the mound and teams to stack – hello Washington, Toronto and Detroit. I'll be digging deep into the research and convening with my good friends DFSBot,Stream-O-Nator, HitterTron and Islay scotch to find the best matchups to grow the bankroll. If you haven't given Draftkings a shot yet, today's the day you get in the game. Just hit the Razzball promo link to get a first time deposit match and come play with the Razzball gang in a 50/50 contest.
Here are some of my top picks and value plays for Wednesday, July 23.

Damn, after reading that title, now I want to eat pasta. Has anyone ever watched The Godfather and not wanted to eat Italian right after? It's an American rite of passage. Once you're old enough to crave Italian food after The Godfather, then you're an adult. That should be the only test to vote or get into the military. "Listen, maggot, you want to go fight for your country? Then sit down and watch this three-hour movie and tell me what you want to eat afterwards. If you want a burger, fries and extra ketchup, you're a baby. Go home." Adam Duvall homered last night off Clifford Lee, and Duvall had 26 homers in Triple-A this year in 310 ABs. Of course, they play in the PCL, a league that pumps their baseballs with helium. He will only fill-in while Brandon Belt is on the concussion DL, but that could be anywhere from a week to a month. In NL-Only leagues, I'd definitely grab him, and even look at him in deeper mixed leagues, if you're desperate. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
It's deja vu all over again. It was almost a year ago that Tim Lincecum threw a no hitter vs. the Padres. Only thing better would be if they both came on 4/20. After the game, Lincecum said, "I felt unstoppable the whole game. Even if something was hit, I felt like there was a giant baseball mitt in the outfield," then seeing the giant baseball mitt sculpture in AT&T Park's outfield, Lincecum slowly looked around to see if anyone else saw what he did, then said, "Dude," five or six times, then refused to answer any more questions. The Padres are a team that could be no-hit any time they step on the field, so, in some ways, they fulfilled their destiny yesterday. What's the difference between the Padres bats and Tony Gwynn? I remember when Tony Gwynn was alive. "Dude, seriously, do you see that giant mitt?" Yes, Lincecum, leave us alone. In the game following Lincecum's no-hitter last year, he threw three and two-thirds innings and gave up eight runs, so, while this was a nice game, I wouldn't go thinking Lincecum is suddenly the pitcher he was in his Cy Young years. A paranoid Lincecum runs by, "There's a giant mitt out there!" Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
There aren't many things you need to know about me. However, when something in my personal life conflicts with my ability to provide you with unrivaled fantasy advice, then what's my business becomes our business. Our business is that I'm in that glorious for some, and miserable for others abeyance between graduating college and commencing my tenure as an employed person. Instead of lamenting during this transitional phase, I'll be spending the next few weeks on a Euro-trip beginning in Copenhagen and continuing through Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Munich, and Amsterdam [Jay's Note: Niiiiiiiiiiice.] before finally flying out of Paris July 9th. Needless to say, I likely won't find the time to sit down and write one of these articles during this prolonged muck-fest. Hopefully you've gained the tools to maximize you're lineups yourselves, because you are own your own the next month or so. If anyone has any advice for such a journey or any hotspots I should check out, feel free to share in the comments. [Jay's Note: Red Light District.]Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yesterday, the Astros had a scare when Jose Altuve was hit hard on the hand by a pitch and he immediately left the game. Because of the nature of Altuve's hand, a broken bone would've been devastating. You know those tiny boats that people use tweezers to put into little bottles? Those people are called tinyshoremen. Tinyshoremen are the only ones capable of working on a hand as petite as Altuve's. Finding a doctor who is also a tinyshoreman? Good luck with that! Thankfully, X-rays came back negative and he's day-to-day. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Nolan Arenado left last night's game with a left mallet finger fracture. Despite how it sounds, he suffered the injury sliding head first into second base, and not from a giant sledge hammer. That's a broken middle finger for the laymans. The team is saying Arenado could be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, but likely more if he opts for surgery. Oh Nolan, you could really use that middle finger right about now. Arenado has been every bit the dream Coors third baseman we all thought he could be this year, triple slashing a mean .305/.333/.489, with six home runs and 28 RBI. This is just bad news. The good news? Razzball favorite and general disappointment to fantasy owners, Josh Rutledge will be called up to replace Arenado on the roster. I like to think anyone playing in Colorado is worth a look and JR is no exception, especially if you're hurting at the hot corner. Rutledge did well in limited time with the Rockies in April, batting .318 with a home run in 22 ABs. He played 88 games in 2013, but struggled to hit for average despite flashing some speed and power, and was eventually sent down. In 12 team leagues, I might hold off on grabbing Rutledge until he shows us something, but I'll be watching him as intensely as the last three episodes of Breaking Bad. Here's hoping he can fill the Nolan Arenado-sized hole in our hearts until that finger fully heals.
Here's what else happened in fantasy baseball Friday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Funny that Mark Trumbo has a stress fracture in his foot, because I now have a stress fracture in my stress-bearing frontal lobe. "You wanna remember your anniversary with the Cougar or Mark Trumbo's recovery timetable?" Shut up, frontal lobe, I hate you! I wish you were dead! *wavy lines* Hey, I have no frontal lobe anymore. Cool, I really like this episode of The Big Bang Theory. They are a gang of funny people! I wish Slystevesr Stallone would do more movies. He's so awesome. Slvester? Why is there a red line under that? Damn, I can't spell my favorite movie star's name without my frontal lobe! *wavy lines* Okay, I'm glad I have a frontal lobe, but not glad I have Mark Trumbo on multiple deep league teams. Wah, wah, wah, that's the sound of my sad Trumbone. This could mean more playing time for Tony Campana — SAGNOF! — or steady playing time for Cody Ross — um, AGNOF!, I guess. Last time Trumbo had a stress fracture — how many stress fractures does this guy have? — he was laid up for close to six months. Yay.

It was an uncharacteristically quiet game from Ravens Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers' top-ranked defense
Everywhere Rice tried to run, inside or outside, he was met by a proverbial brick wall of defenders as he rushed for only 40 yards on 20 carries. He found his most success catching the football out of the backfield on five receptions for 53 yards.
He gained only 13 yards on 10 carries in the first half, his least in a first half since an Oct. 24, 2011 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars where he was limited to 9 yards on four carries.

The task doesn't get much easier this week against the San Diego Chargers, who have the eighth-ranked defense overall and the third-ranked run defense. They've given up just 87.9 yards on the ground per contest.

"We've got to reinvent ourselves a week later, but obviously Pittsburgh's front, it's always been tough-sledding against them," said Rice, who has rushed for 697 yards and seven touchdowns with 40 receptions for 337 yards and is on pace to finish the season with 1,115 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns and 64 receptions for 539 yards. "I can't remember the few games that I've had really breakout ones besides the one last year, and then I had a run called back. You can't just run at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"And with this week, it's the same kind of deal. Those are big, heavy guys up front. You've got to get them moving, and we've got to try to execute in the run game. But people look at the run game and that's not from a lack of blocking or a lack of execution; it's more a numbers game up there. So, you get those big guys moving, and hopefully you get a crease."

Sela Ward talks about "The Stepfather"
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Oct 16 2009 1:41PM
I have to say it....I love Sela Ward! I think she is an amazingly beautiful, classy, intelligent woman. I also remember being puzzled when she, at age 35, lost a role in a James Bond movie because she was "too old". I mean, this woman looks better in her 50's than many women decades younger. It didn't seem fair or right to me. When I had a chance to talk to Sela this week, we talked about the shelf life of a beautiful woman in Hollywood and a documentary that Sela did that exposes the lengths women go to to try to fit in with our youth-obsessed culture.
We also talked about her new movie, "The Stepfather", which opens today. Yes, it's a scary movie....but there's lessons in there for a smart, beautiful woman (such as yourself!)
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Sample Reviews
new patient appt was a consultation. tests were reviewed and additional tests done and ordered. solution given involving an unbelieveable number of supplements. diet and exercise plan was very aggressive. results were achieved but the sheer number of pills, creams, and change in lifestyle was not sustainable. costs were extremely high for supplements and no insurance billing support. any self insurance submittal required additional paperwork from the provider which was also charged for to provide the needed documents.
if you have a lot of time, freedom, and spare income i believe this solution could work. however, it wasnt for me."

don't go isnt worth your time or much money she charged the insurance company something like 400 dollars for my visit which wasnt worth it"

I received the order in the mail. I was charged for the shipping and in order to get it refunded, I had to join a rebate club!!! and give them my credit card #. I was also charged for the first month supplement and a second order that I DID NOT request. In order to cancel the order I had to pay an additional $18.80 to return it. The service representative insisted that the original order was placed through an automated service.==NOT TRUE!!! None of this information was given to me when ordering and sent with order. I would have NEVER placed order under these circumstances!! What a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! It was almost cheaper to keep and pay for the order than to return it. BEWARE of this company!!!!!"
It took about one month to gain an appointment with Dr. issues and introduced me to his nutritional approach. He talked with me about getting vitamins and mineral supplements to improve my health. He gives you a sheet of paper with basically your plan of action. You write down the things that you have agreed to do and you both sign it. This goes with you, along with a manila folder to hold your documents. He has a very very calming air about himself. He smiles and makes you feel very welcome and at ease.
He ordered several vitamins and minerals for me to take, including a list with the various companies that he recommended for high quality items. He does not sell these to you - so there is no financial gain for him to prescribe these items. I have noticed significant improvement in some areas of my health as a result of taking the vitamins (these are not far out, obscure things - but more common like Vitamin D,
In addition to his medical degree, he has a Master's of Public Health from "

It was a great experience. I got there, saw the Dr. right away. The dr. spent WAY more time with me answering ALL of my questions (waaay longer than I expected). And I actually left with some answers and a treatment plan! Whew! Their office is very nice and relaxing too. I give it all an A+"

"It's a patsy review board," agrees Selby. "If Koby sets up his own group and chooses to call it a civilian review panel, he can set it up any way he wants. But it's not independent."
Beckner, who helped set up the department's review panel, contends that critics already have made up their minds about it.
"It's only been in place ten months," he says. "Anyone who says it is failing loses credibility with me, because they haven't even given it a chance. From my perspective, it works quite well."
How well it works can't be determined. Police won't reveal what advice the review panel has offered to Chief Koby.

ePals, a provider of educational technology products, will acquire Carus Publishing, the parent company of Cricket Magazine Group, Cobblestone Publishing, and Open Court Publishing.
Through its subsidiaries, Carus publishes 14 magazine titles covering subjects such as science, history, culture, and fiction, hundreds of books, and mobile and Web apps.
As part of the acquisition, ePals will gain a subscriber base of more than 300,000 people and 80,000 institutional customers, including an estimated 30 percent of American middle schools and 3,800 libraries, according to information provided by ePals. The move will push ePals to more than 600,000 paid subscriptions and more than 7 million users registered with ePals in more than 200 countries and territories.

"The Carus family mission has always been to foster and reinforce communities of literacy, whatever the medium," said Blouke Carus, chairman of Carus Publishing.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)-- Josh Hamilton(notes) said recently he wants the Texas Rangers' offense to have more of a killer instinct.
How about 15 hits and a season-best 10-run victory margin?
Hamilton kept rolling with a home run and three RBIs, giving him three homers and 10 RBIs in the last six games, and the Rangers went on to a 12-2 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.
"We had a big inning early, and then 'let's get another one, and another one after that,"' said Hamilton, who's on a 15-for-35 tear (.429) to raise his average from .281 to .304. "You don't want to let 'em back in the game."
Hamilton's two-run shot keyed a six-run burst in the second inning against Ian Snell(notes) (0-5).
Michael Young(notes) homered and Vladimir Guerrero(notes) added three hits for the Rangers, 7-2 against the Mariners this season.
"We're swinging the bats really well over the last few weeks, doing what we're capable of doing," Young said. "If we keep improving on offense, we'll be in great shape at the end of the year. We're having good at-bats, working good counts, and finding ways of putting runs across."
C.J. Wilson(notes) pitched seven effective innings for the Rangers.
Wilson (5-3) took advantage of the early run support. He overcome a shaky first inning, and allowed two runs and four hits overall.
"I was just trying to throw strikes and cruise," Wilson said.
Seattle has lost five of six.
The Mariners took a 2-0 lead in the first on consecutive RBI doubles by Jose Lopez(notes) and Josh Wilson(notes).
But Snell couldn't protect the edge in the bottom half as Texas tied it on Young's solo homer and Guerrero's RBI double.
"I have nothing but confidence in our team scoring runs," Wilson said. "When (Young) hits a homer right away, you know it's going to be one of those days and we'll be OK."
Texas broke away in the second with Hamilton's homer and RBI singles by Young, Ian Kinsler(notes) and Guerrero. Another runner scored on Snell's wild pitch.
Snell, who hasn't won since last Sept. 20, allowed seven earned runs and eight hits in 1 2-3 innings, raising his ERA from 4.64 to 5.89.
"I don't think it's so much a command issue as trying to be too perfect around the plate," said Snell, winless in his last 10 starts dating to last season. "I just missed locations and they hit the ball hard."
Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said he didn't know whether Snell would stay in the rotation.
"We'll have some discussions," Wakamatsu said. "We could make a decision in the next day or two."

text: Beazer Homes Strikes Settlement with Federal InvestigatorsBeazer agrees to pay as much as $50 million in restitution for mortgage and securities fraud.By Teresa Burney Several federal agencies have settled a two-year investigation against Beazer Homes USA, agreeing not to prosecute the company for criminal mortgage and securities fraud if it meets certain conditions and pays between $48 and $50 million in restitution over the next 60 months.For two years Beazer has been under investigation for fraudulent mortgage practices designed to both sell houses and increase the profit margin for its mortgage subsidiary as well as for accounting practices designed to "smooth earnings" through "cookie jar accounting," the Department of Justice said Wednesday, July 1.Beazer's cooperation in the investigation, its admissions of guilt after its own internal investigation discovered the improprieties, the closing of its mortgage subsidiary, and the adoption of remedial measures including the firing of executives and employees it identified as responsible were factors that netted the company leniency, investigators said.And, the government felt a bit sorry for Beazer because of its financial situation, it seems. It recognized "that the imposition of additional criminal penalties or the requirement of additional payment at this time would jeopardize the solvency of Beazer and put at risk the employment of approximately 15,000 employees and full-time contractors not involved in the criminal wrongdoing," the Department of Justice release said.Beazer also apologized again for its transgressions."We deeply regret these matters and have used what we have learned to strengthen our control and compliance culture and reinforce our absolute commitment to act according to the highest standards of ethical conduct throughout our organization," said Ian J. McCarthy, Beazer's president and chief executive officer in a statement issued late Wednesday. "We are pleased that the governmental authorities recognized our cooperation and remedial measures."Under the settlement, Beazer has agreed to pay $10 million immediately as restitution for victimized home buyers and additional money, up to $50 million, as the company "recovers financially," the Department of Justice release said. The $10 million includes $2.5 million Beazer recently paid to the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks as restitution for North Carolina home buyers. The rest will be paid to a national restitution fund established to compensate Beazer customers who can demonstrate they were injured by some of Beazer's mortgage practices.In fiscal year 2010 Beazer will contribute either $1 million or 4% of the company's 2010 adjusted earnings before EBITDA. For the years thereafter, through part of 2014, the company will continue to pay 4% of EBIDTA up to $50 million.If the company hasn't put $48 million into the restitution fund by the end of 60 months, it will be required to keep contributing 4% of EBITDA until it has contributed that amount.Under the agreement, Beazer is also required to pay $4 million to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to resolve civil and administrative investigations by that agency. A year later, it is required to make another $1 million payment to HUD.McCarthy and the company's COO Michael Furlow will contribute the after-tax proceeds of their 2008 bonuses into the fund to help defray the impact on the company's balance sheet.The attendee list at the settlement announcement revealed just how many government agencies were involved in the investigation. In addition to the acting U.S. Attorney of the Western District of North Carolina, attendees included HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, high-level officials from the FBI, IRS, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Office of the Inspector General of HUD, the Commissioner of Banks North Carolina, and the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.Five of the attendees submitted stern statements praising the settlement for restoring money to the victims and making it clear that they will crack down on those who violate the law and hold the guilty accountable.

Gotta love the feisty nature...yea, well back to the article. The Volt will ultimately fail due to the nations' disagreements over the ''charging" stations. The fact remains that when you are traveling 'non-stop' to your destination it takes an army of facts and figures, let alone GPS coordinates just to 'map' out the charging stations needed to complete the journey. A classic example of 'putting the cart before the horse'. A good idea, possibly even a great idea takes an American nosedive!


text: Through two games, no defense has been more impressive than the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are tied for the league lead with four interceptions and forced fumbles with five, and have bottled up two of the league's best running backs (Michael Turner 42 yards, Chris Johnson 34 yards). They're 2-0 without their offensive MVP, Ben Roethlisberger. A healthy Troy Polamalu has helped.

For the Fourth of July we are replaying our interview with Dave and Phil Alvin, two brothers whose new new album, Common Ground, is a tribute to one of their early influences, bluesman Big Bill Broonzy:
Phil Alvin: When I first discovered Big Bill Broozy, his voice and his songwriting, his humor, his guitar playing, his persona was so big to me. I became a Little Bill Broonzy guy; started singing the songs that I heard on the first album that I got almost immediately, and I've always had him in the back of my mind whenever I would sing and play.

Mary Gauthier started gathering material for her songs early in life. She ran away from home at 15 and entered her first stint in rehab. But it wasn't until she was in her mid-30s that she became a singer and songwriter. Once she got started, songs poured out that told the story of her life as a drunk and addict, a chef and restaurant owner, an androgynous lesbian, and as an adoptee who spent the first year of her life in an orphanage. She joined Terry Gross in the studio to play songs from her new album Trouble & Love.
"I finally get it—that connection is something much deeper and broader than the material that most pop songs are made of. Popular radio is about the first six months of love, right? Or the first 90 days. I long for real and true connection. It has been the theme of all the songs in my whole life…
I feel like I've been running around most of my life with a plug trying to find the socket to plug it into and I'm tired now. I'm going to do it differently… I have de-romanticized romantic love, I think it's that simple and that complicated."

Fresh Air's jazz critic Kevin Whitehead reviews two albums from Ronald Shannon Jackson & The Decoding Society that are now available for download, having been out of print for ages:
Ronald Shannon Jackson like other '80s composers abstracted looping structures from West Africa's intersecting rhythm cycles. His tune "Iola" is built in layers: the basses play different lines, one twice as long as the other, as a horn melody moves in slow motion over the top. Vernon Reid plays banjo, African American instrument rarely heard in creative music, because of uncool associations with minstrelsy and dixieland. But its thin percussive snap cuts through and helps keep the texture transparent.

Fresh Air critic Ken Tucker reviews the latest album from Parquet Courts, Sunbathing Animal:
Parquet Courts creates songs that dare you to be irritated by them. They stick with a riff like that one, a song called "Dear Ramona," and shuffle into it lines such as "Whoever she might be goin' to bed with, you can read about that in her moleskine." There's an undercurrent of sarcasm there, and I would be surprised if the Parquet Courts boys don't own a few moleskine notebooks themselves. But making clever snark develop into something more emotional, more revelatory — that's the challenge the band sets for itself.

Today Fresh Air remembers jazz singer Jimmy Scott, who died Thursday at the age of 88. He was popular in the 1950's and influenced both male and female singers, including Nancy Wilson and Frankie Lyman. Early in his career, some of his listeners who knew him only from recordings, thought he was a woman. That was a result of a rare genetic condition that prevented his body from undergoing the complete process of puberty. Contractual problems helped stall his career, and he didn't make any records between 1975 and 1992. But that 1992 album started a comeback, which included singing at President Clinton's 1993 inaugural ball and being named a Living Jazz Legend by the Kennedy Center. When Terry spoke with him in 1992, they started with the title track from the album he'd just released, All the Way, which led to his comeback.

In the 1970s, when the American music market was fascinated by roots, the Eastern European mix of styles known as klezmer awoke from a 50-year sleep. Klezmer was meant to be party music, for dancing all night at Jewish weddings. But revival klezmer had a careful, preservationist atmosphere. And no matter how expertly done, a party designed by your grandparents can't be all that exciting.
The New York band Golem have spent 14 years injecting punk attitude into the klezmer cadences. They are persistently funny, irreverent, varied in subject matter and at one moment heartbroken, the next deranged. Golem have pulled together their tightest program on their fourth album Tanz, with a title track that offers an irresistible command to dance.

In 1986 Sam Baker was on a train to Machu Picchu in Peru when a bomb went off, killing several people around him and leaving him deaf with a cut artery and collapsed lungs. After 15 reconstructive surgeries Baker has his hearing back, and found music as a way to heal. In today's interview you can hear him play the songs that helped him get through. Baker tells Fresh Air how the experience changed him:
"I went through so many surgeries and I was around so many people who were in such terrible pain and in worse shape than I was. Yeah, something changed. One thing that changed was the sense that all suffering is universal. That we suffer, you suffer, that we all do … me, especially what I learned was empathy and the faith that I got was the faith in us as a group, as humans."

the absolute levels of micronutrients were higher in organic foods more often than in conventional foods (462 vs 364 comparisons, P=0.002), and the total micronutrient content, expressed as a percent difference, was higher in organic (+5.7%, P 0.001) as compared to conventionally grown produce.Has this study been debunked?
Significant differences between the use of fertiliser and pesticides during fruit formation were observed, and included changes in sugar, amino acid and organic acid composition.I think anyone who across the board says "thoroughly and repeatedly debunked or are simply unproven" isn't really conversant with the body of research which is quite large and beyond the scope of MeFi other than to cherry pick studies and play with confirmation biases.
WHAT THIS LABEL MEANS:Nothing special about their rules and regs. They're just another certifier. It's the same standard in every state.
The New Hampshire Department of Agriculture and Foods has been certifying products as organic since 1989 and is accredited as an organic certifier by the USDA.
All organic certifiers must be accredited by the USDA. Only products containing at least 95% organic ingredients may display the USDA Organic seal in addition to the certifier's logo.
Standard Requirements for Organic Production
All organic labels on food (except seafood) must meet the same USDA standards. See below for exceptions for personal care products and fish. All products (food, personal care products, clothing, etc.) displaying the USDA Organic seal are produced according to the same federal organic standards.
Humans got along just fine without this stuff for literally millenia.Indeed, hundreds of millions of humans got along just fine.
"Is organic produce better for you?" is a simple question asked by a middle schooler in a science fair. Using fruit flies fed organic vs. conventional produce, Ria Chhabra tracked the flies and saw improvements based on their diet.People have a problem with this:
Now barely a sophomore in high school, the project lead to university research labs, science fair awards, publication in top-tier peer-reviewed journals, and quite likely, scholarships at her pick of top-flight universities.The first thing is a kid doing a good job at a science fair. The second thing is stuff adults are doing that can have real-world consequences. It's not accurate to say people are bothered by the first thing; people are bothered by the second thing.

Man seen jumping off Dartford Crossing still not found
Updated 6:25pm Friday 16th May 2014 in Echo News By Paul Nizinskyj
A MAN who jumped off the Dartford River Crossing has still not been found.
A police helicopter and the Metropolitan Police's marine unit were deployed just after 11pm yesterday to search for the man's body after CCTV showed him jumping off the bridge into the Thames minutes earlier.
Essex Police had initially been called by staff to report a van had been abandoned on the bridge – officers later found the van belonged to a man from south east Essex.
The Gravesend RNLI lifeboat was also called out to help look for the man last night and this morning but nothing has yet been found.
A police spokesman said: "A review of CCTV showed someone jumping off the bridge into the River Thames a few minutes earlier.
"A police helicopter arrived to carry out an aerial search while HMS coastguard searched the river.
"Met police deployed their marine unit, to the section near east London but nothing has been found.
"The van was recovered and its owner was a man who lived in south east Essex.
"The bridge was closed for four hours while the incident was investigated."
