On December 14th, 2011, Florence Mason and Arturo Castillon were arrested on charges including burglary and criminal trespass by the Philadelphia police. What did they do to deserve this? The two had dared to enter Ms. Mason's home, from which she had been wrongly evicted by a combination of greedy landlords, housing companies, and a corrupt city government and police force.
On December 14th, 2011, Florence Mason and Arturo Castillon were arrested on charges including burglary and criminal trespass by the Philadelphia police. What did they do to deserve this? The two had dared to enter Ms. Mason's home, from which she had been wrongly evicted by a combination of greedy landlords, housing companies, and a corrupt city government and police force.
Before all of this, on January 6th, 2011, Elaine Luckin of Third Corsa, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Ms. Mason in the Philadelphia Municipal Court, alleging that she owed $5,435 in rent. But Third Corsa was not Ms. Mason's landlord. In fact, Third Corsa does not legally exist. Elaine Luckin is an employee of a company called First Corsa, which provides management services to landlords, including Ms. Mason's landlord, Svetlana Shliomovich. Third Corsa/Elaine Luckin had no right to bring a complaint against Ms. Mason. Even the identity of her landlord is uncertain: Ms. Shliomovich is listed in public records as the owner of the property, but another person signed the lease that Third Corsa presented as an exhibit to the court.
On top of this, Florence Mason does not owe anything to First Corsa, Third Corsa, Svetlana Shliomovich, or anyone else. The home she lived in was a Section 8 property, or federally-subsidized property. The Department of Housing and Urban Development was responsible for paying Ms. Mason's rent. In spite of this, Third Corsa's lawyers lied under oath that she was responsible for payments.
Despite all these obstacles, when Ms. Mason appealed the case to the Court of Common Pleas, Third Corsa's lawyer dropped the complaint, and then the judge dropped the case. Back in the Municipal Court, however, the company's lawyers lied under oath again to claim that it was Ms. Mason who dropped the appeal, and proceeded to continue to attempt to evict her. Third Corsa continued to cause injustice to Ms. Mason not only based on lies, but based on unfounded disdain that caused her and her family a great deal of struggle and suffering.
On September 1st, Philadelphia police terrorized Ms. Mason's children, assaulting and arresting her two oldest children, Vincent, 20, and Crystal, 18, and even handcuffing her youngest girl at one point. Ms. Mason herself was arrested on October 15th and held until the 27th. All of these arrests were illegal, in light of the dismissal of the case by the Court of Common Appeals and the lack of standing of the case to begin with. There is no reason that Vincent Jr., Crystal, or Ms. Mason should have been arrested.
On November 29th, activists staged a protest and then unscrewed the locks on Ms. Mason's home. They entered the house and spent time cleaning it up. The locks were never replaced. On December 14th, Ms. Mason and Arturo Castillon, a community activist, entered the home to do another cleaning, and were then arrested.
The Philadelphia community must unite to defend Florence Mason and Arturo Castillon against the injustices that are being done to them. But we also must remember that this incident is just one small part of the larger picture. All over Philadelphia, and all over the United States, people are being evicted from their homes by greedy landlords and banks, corrupt governments and police. The current crisis of capitalism has hurt the 99%; but it has hurt people of color and women worst of all. As the Occupy movement increasingly turns towards direct action such as home reclamation, and toward a fuller analysis of the dynamics of race, class, and gender, this case is an important opportunity to strike a blow, but many more blows must continue to be struck. While we fight for Arturo Castillon, Florence Mason, and her children, we must keep in mind the plight of others facing the same struggles from the economic and legal systems that be.
As the legal battles rage on in order to try and achieve justice for Arturo Castillon and Ms. Mason, we as a community must ask ourselves what allows these wrongdoings to occur. In a country that claims to believe in liberty and justice for all, we must question how our society has allowed for mothers, children, and activists to get arrested for only trying to have a home that is rightfully theirs. We must ask ourselves why we do not stand up and fight back before this injustice is inflicted on innocent people. Most importantly, we must rise up in solidarity with Florence Mason, and Arturo Castillon and all other victims of this system to help defend their rights, and make a dent in defending the rights of thousands of others.

Pre-school children took part in a range of acitivties today including experiencing an oriental buffet for the first time
Updated 8:51am Saturday 1st February 2014 in News By Natalie Glanvill, Reporter - Waltham Forest
A nursery held a day of activities to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Pre-school children at Tiny Tots Nursery in Higham Station Avenue, Chingford have been using chop sticks, designing dragons, and learning caligraphy as part of today's annual event.
The children aged three to five years old spent the morning making cards to represent the Year of the Horse which will be given to parents this afternoon.
A special buffet was laid out for the children to taste oriental food and practice using chop-sticks.
Nursery manager Charlotte Mannion, 31, said it is important to celebrate all cultures.
"Today has been absolutely fantastic, really good fun and it has been a very busy day for the kids.
"It is incredibly important for us at the nursery to celebrate all religions, festivals and cultures."

Worldwide more than 60 million girls have been forced into early marriage. Of the 780 million people who can't read, 510 million are female. Women work two thirds of the world's working hours but earn just 10% of the income.
The new UN women's agency could put a stop to all this. But to fulfil its promise it needs your help.
The Godmothers is a group of men and women who think women everywhere deserve a chance. Together we'll watch over UN Women, help keep it on track and protect it from people who'd like to see it fail - everything a good godmother would do. By making sure UN Women gets the powers and funding it needs, we can make life better for millions of women worldwide.
How we're fighting discrimination
Meet the women you'll be helping:
The UK Government has announced that it will only pledge £10million to UN Women this year, less than half of what we were asking for. This is a missed opportunity to improve the lives of millions of women around the world.
That's why we're asking you to write directly to Secretary of State Andrew Mitchell. Explain to him in your own words just how disappointed you are with the funding announcement and ask him, on behalf of the one billion women around the world living in poverty, to change his mind.

PEORIA, Ill. -- A committee of the Peoria County Board has approved what they believe will make contracts with the future public defender more transparent.
Last year, County Board members looked into the $1.5 million contract with then Public Defender Tom Penn.
In the process, they found few records to show services he provided, like caseload and assistant public defender assignments.
Illinois law states the public defender in counties with more than a million people are required to keep record of his services and give the County Board a monthly report which didn't always happen.
"Historically, there's been a bit of a hands off approach but we're still accountable for the budgeting process we do every year," said Board Member Andrew Rand. "Once those budgets are authorized, the elected officials, which includes the courts, can manage them as they see fit."
A committee agreed to transfer $220,000 from the general county budget to appoint interim public defender Jeffrey Flanagan for two months.

The Charlottesville High School field hockey team beat Western Albemarle 2-1 in overtime to win the Jefferson District Field Hockey Tournament Championship Thursday night at CHS. Kendall Ballard scored both goals for Charlottesville.
After the game Ballard said, "This is what we work for, this is what we live for, I just couldn't be any happier right now, our team we worked together as a team, we moved the ball around and we got the goals when we needed them."
It is believed to be Charlottesville's first win over WAHS in about a decade. The Knights lost to the Warriors both times this year during the regular season. Western was the top seed in the tournament. Charlottesville was the 2-seed. Alex Brown scored the lone goal for WAHS Thursday.
Charlottesville improves to 13-2 with the win and will play at Kettle Run in the Region II semifinals on Tuesday. Western Albemarle drops to 10-5-2 and will host Fauquier Tuesday in the other Region II semifinal.

PEKIN, Ill -- A local agency has announced plans to build what it calls the only regional port on the Illinois River accessible to international ports in the gulf.
If approved, Executive Director of Transport Steve Jaeger says the project will create initial construction jobs, and 20 to 30 jobs once the port is complete.
The goal of the project is to move heavy equipment by barge to deep-water international ports on the Gulf of Mexico.
"Today they're having to put these units on large, flatbed trucks and move them with escorts on high, wide loads down to the gulf at great expense. Barge transportation can save a great deal of money for whoever is paying the freight, and it should enhance our competitiveness as a region," Jaeger said.
Jaeger says heavy-equipment manufacturers like Caterpillar and Komatsu have already said they would take advantage of the nearby port.

BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) -- Transportation officials are making plans for the expected rush of traffic during the 10-day National Boy Scout Jamboree in July.
Officials said Thursday that plans were being made to use the West Virginia National Guard for traffic assistance. The Register-Herald of Beckley reports that officials also are considering waiving tolls during that time to ease traffic congestion on the West Virginia Turnpike.
All construction that requires a permanent lane closure also would be suspended during that time.
Officials expect some 20,000 staff members to begin arriving ahead of the jamboree, which will run July 15-24. That's before buses begin bringing in thousands of Boy Scouts for the event.
Another 50,000 visitors are expected during the same time at the annual Friends of Coal car show.

Dickinson police are warning residents this week about a new, but familiar, housing scam. The scam involves posting advertisements to rent or buy homes and apartments on websites like Craigslist. Scammers take the information from actual housing ads, but change the contact information to their own. Once buyers are interested, the scammers ask for money via a wire transfer. After this, they send a fake lease for a signature and then disappear. "With the oil fields, population, and the elderly, housing is very limited as it is right now. People are obviously taking advantage of our Achilles heel, so to speak," said Dickinson Police Detective Travis Leintz. The Dickinson area is being targeted because of its booming population growth and fast-moving housing market, according to police. Officers have several tips for residents to avoid falling into one of these traps. "Always proceed with caution," Leintz said. "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." In addition, go through a real estate agent whenever possible, Leintz said. Dickinson police are working with other law enforcement officials to find the source of the scams.

This location is shown only to members
Enjoy a wine tasting experience with light music, hor d'oeuvres, conversation and good wine. Everyone should bring one bottle of wine and a light snack to go with it. This is a learning experience so let's step out of our boxes and take the opportunity to try a number of different wines. People who are new to wine are encouraged to attend as there will likely be a few seasoned veterans who will be glad to give some tasting tips. Try to choose a food that compliments the wine you bring although we will be operating under the assumption that people will have already eaten dinner by this point, so something light is more appropriate. You may have to do some research if you're new to wine to discover what works. I have about a dozen wine glasses so it may be helpful if you bring one of your own, depending on how many people RSVP. This may be cross-posted with the wine meetup group. It will be a very casual atmosphere and a great time for brand new meetup people to come and meet new people in a relaxing environment. Hope to see you there!
Find your people.

For all the regional tensions in American politics, have you ever stopped to think what a boring country this would be without the South? Also without black people, of course, which may be another way of saying the same thing. Would there be any music at all?
I was moved to this observation by an almost comically obtuse article on a website called businessinsider.com entitled "13 Southern Sayings That the Rest of America Won't Understand." Purporting to explain a list of "the most ridiculous Southern sayings" supposedly bewildering to persons outside the region, it mainly revealed its authors' cultural naivete.
For example, is there a native speaker of English anywhere that doesn't grasp the meaning of "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear?" Nor is the phrase, coined by the 18th-century Irish satirist Jonathan Swift, a Southernism at all. Swift had a way of putting things succinctly.
There's also nothing particularly "Southern" about phrases like "useless as tits on a bull" -- used often by my New Jersey father to describe my lack of facility with hand tools.
"Only female dairy cows produce milk," the authors solemnly inform us. "Male cows are called bulls. And even if you could 'milk anything with nipples,' bulls tend to be rather ornery."
You get the feeling they had to look it up.
A city guy, my father inherited his store of agricultural metaphors directly from rural Ireland. Indeed, many colloquial expressions -- "mad as a wet hen," is another -- are more rustic than Southern in origin. The authors of the Business Insider article appear to think nobody outside the South could possibly have any knowledge of barnyard animals.
But then, many people think that. My Arkansas neighbor likes to talk about his amazement at meeting country boys like himself in the Army -- Yankees from Pennsylvania and upstate New York. The expression "rode hard and put up wet" to describe somebody who looks wasted may be a pure Texanism. But the concept is immediately familiar to anybody who knows that horses need to be walked and groomed after hard exercise.

Moving Average and Relative Strength Index
Moving average is a common word heard in the financial markets. There are two kinds of moving averages. One is exponential moving average and another is simple moving average. Exponential moving average is one kind of moving average different from simple moving average. The specialty of exponential moving average is the faster reaction towards recent price changes. It is also known as exponentially weighted moving average. Both 12 EMA and 26 EMA are considered as most important short term averages which is used to the indicators like Moving Average Convergence Divergence and Percentage Price Oscillator. Simple moving average is commonly used, because it is easy to calculate. 10 day simple moving average is calculated by adding the closing prices of the last 10 days and divided by 10. Moving average is changed in each day.
If the price breaks below 10 DMA in an uptrend, it is indicating that the trend is weakened. If the prices break above the 10 DMA, it also indicates the decling trend or consolidating. In such situation, watch both 20 DMA and 10 DMA. If 10 day line crosses 20 day line, it indicates a short term trend. For longer term period, both 100 DMA and 200 DMA are used. If the 100 day line crosses below 200 day line, it is called death cross and it gives a bearish outlook. If 100 day line crosses above the 200 day line, it is called golden cross and it indicates bullish sign. Anyway it cannot be considered as an indicator of price direction but an indicator of trend. A short term uptrend can get support at 20 DMA. A long term trend can get support or resistance in the 200 DMA. There will be a slight variation between simple and exponential moving averages. Moving averages are used to understand current trends and trend reversals. It also helps to create support and resistance levels.
Moving average and signals
When a 50 DMA is cross over 200 DMA, a buy signal is occurred and when the 50 DMA crosses below 200DMA a sell signal is occurred.
Relative Strength Index
Relative Strength Index was developed J Welles Wilder. It is used to ascertain whether the market is in overbought or oversold? If the RSI is above 70, it is considered as an overbought situation. If the RSI is below 30, it is considered as oversold situation. It is better to use RSI with moving average cross over. When RSI is in the oversold situation and 10 DMA crosses above 25 DMA it will be a clear buy signal. When RSI is in overbought situation and 10 DMA is crossing below the 25 DMA, it can be considered as a strong sell signal. RSI indicates the weakness and power of a stock. RSI is commonly used in a 14 day timeframe. When the market is in uptrend, RSI will be in between 40 and 70 and if it is in down trend, RSI will be in between 20 and 60.

Ry Craike has a new movie coming out next month. Quiksilver partnered up with Ry's other sponsors and blew up the BONDI Bar last Thursday night Sept 10th in San Diego. We had Tooheys New (Aussie local beer) flown in for this night. We also had the GOONS OF DOOM play live after the movie. Well the word circulated at the ASR show that there would be free Aussie beer, Ry's new film, and that the Goons of Doom playing live. With that said, basically the entire ASR show came to support Ry and indulge in some good old Aussie BEER drinking at the BONDI BAR. It was a packed house to see Ry's new movie. Ry's new movie is sick with non stop tail hucks, BIG Airs, and tube rides. There is also a few cameos including Dane Reynolds in the film. If you were not one of the lucky folks in attendance last Thursday night, you missed a killer party! Look for the film which is set to release later next month on Surfline.

Your joints may feel stiff when you wake up in the morning, and painful if you get up and stretch them out. The stiffness goes away later in the day, but your joints might still be swollen and feel warm.
Every day is different though. Some days you might feel OK, other days you'll feel worse - when the disease is 'more active'. Treatment can really help though.

My mother the rose turns the music down
Trying just to tell the story.
This is the story that came before I came here. This is the book I wanted to close.
It's easier for me to write sometimes when I have music on. It's like the sound drowns out everything I don't want to think about and lets me just write what I need to. I'm listening to some strange stuff right now that Cam brought home from work. A local group, women's voices. Very pretty and very angry.
I listen to music with headphones on even when nobody's around to not want to hear it. I always have.
When I hear that one song that just clicks for me, I want to get to know it. I listen to it again and again, and really loudly. I know you're not supposed to, especially with headphones on. You could damage your hearing, you'll be deaf by the time you're thirty, okay, okay; but if it's not going right through you, it's not music. It's just background noise.
I could be dead by the time I'm thirty, too, and then what good will all that pristinely preserved hearing do me?
The first few times I listen to a song, I can barely understand the words. I'm just listening to how the whole thing sounds. Then I start hearing, bit by bit, what's being said.
That must be what it's like before we learn to talk -- before we learn what language is at all. All those spoken sounds falling at us gently like balloons, and we just smile and reach up our hands for more.
Music has colors and shapes, but each note moves so quickly that it's gone almost before you can see it. That's another reason I need to relisten to one song so much. I want to see what it looks like. It ripples by like water and all I know is that something was there and I want it back again.
I wouldn't want to be able to stop it long enough to really get a clear look. That would be like killing a butterfly so I could stare at the pattern on its wings.
I don't remember what music I was listening to that afternoon. I remember the song seemed like a lot of tiny arcs caught inside one great one, all silver and crimson.
Whoever was singing was saying exactly what needed to be said, and I was happy to hear it. It was one of those songs that feels like it'll never wear out no matter how many times you play it.
The sun was piercing through a gap between my bedroom curtains at that angle that always looked like a celebration. Probably because it only looked that way in the late afternoon, when I was safely home from school and wouldn't have to think about going back until the next day at least.
I sort of knew my mother had come home, but it wasn't something I was particularly thinking about. I knew she was downstairs, just as I figured she knew I was upstairs.
When I was younger, when my mother or father or I came home, we'd check in with whoever was already there. If you were the first one home, you were supposed to leave a note.
Sometimes my mother would pick a rose instead and leave it on the table. That was her name, so she got to use it as her signature. You could tell how long she'd been waiting for you by how much it had wilted.
I used to save those roses. I dried them so they wouldn't rot. I'd never pick the roses from the garden -- she didn't like anyone else to touch them -- but I could keep one if she'd already taken it.
On the rare occasions that my father got home before either of us, he would leave one of his business cards. I never knew if we were supposed to be his clients, or if it was some quaint Victorian leave-your-card-for-the-ladies-of-the-house gesture.
I usually drew a picture, of something from whatever I was reading or something we'd learned about in school. Food, if I was hungry. Something I really wished they'd buy me, if there was a holiday coming up.
Whoever got home and found a note was supposed to go and find the person who'd left it; check in with them, talk to them for a minute. My mother said that was how civilized people behaved. You could even just say hello, but you had to say something.
Lately, we hadn't been doing that any more. My mother would get home from work and just go about her business, like she had roommates rather than a family. My father had been staying later and later at work; a lot of the time I'd be in bed by the time he got home.
They still talked to each other, but they talked at me rather than with me.
I was too afraid to ask what had changed and why, so I waited and hoped for it to change back.
That day I had some reading I was supposed to do, and some reading I wanted to do. I was putting it off just a little longer.
Sometimes I read while I'm listening to music. It makes it more intense. But it has to be a book I've read a million times before, and the song has to be just the right one.
Today I was just listening. It was all I could do to soak in the sound.
There's plenty of music I like; but there are some songs that make me fly. I don't even know why one song will strike me as that much better than another. Maybe it's not even the music itself, or all by itself. I was happy that day, I know that. No reason; I just was. And I was ready to be made happier. So maybe the song had stopped by at just the right time.
Every time I played it I turned it up a little. I really wouldn't have been surprised to open my eyes and find myself nose to nose with the ceiling.
There was a banging noise that didn't have anything to do with drums. Jagged and angry. And my name being shouted.
"Will you please turn that damned music down!"
My mother at the door. Which was still closed, fortunately.
I pushed "stop" and sat frozen, holding my breath.
"Thank you." A pause, as if for an answer. I didn't say anything, and she went on. "Please try to remember that you aren't the only person who lives here. Not all of us share your taste in music." That last word pronounced very sarcastically, as if music was the last word she'd use to describe what I listened to.
I didn't answer, and there was the sound of her footsteps moving deliberately down the stairs.
When I could move again, I pulled my headphones off and looked at them.
They'd been on the whole time. Plugged in. There was no other way for sound to get out of the player.
No one else should have been able to hear it at all, unless they were standing in the same room and heard that horrible hissing sound that other people's headphones playing other people's music give off. And even that wouldn't be so loud that somebody downstairs would come storming up demanding not to have to hear that hideous din any more.
I knew the answer, of course, and it had to do with why they'd been avoiding me so much.
It was coming from me. It was me.
The music had been pouring through me, and I let it. I sent it.
I should have kept it to myself, but I didn't. Because if I sat and concentrated on making sure that no one else could hear it, that was admitting that there was something I could do that I shouldn't have been able to.
I didn't need speakers to make the world hear music. I didn't even have to open my mouth to talk.
I wondered how long it had been since I really had talked.

(WMC) - The Memphis Redbirds have a new general manager, and the big announcement came on Monday afternoon.
Craig Unger, a five-year veteran of the front office, will become the new general manager of the Memphis Redbirds.
Unger moved his family to Memphis to take the helm, after a five-year stint in sales and marketing for the Cardinals in St. Louis. He hopes to put the Cardinals' fingerprint on the team but still let the Memphis Redbirds spread their own wings.
The City of Memphis recently took over AutoZone Park. The Cards took over the Redbirds to try to boost ticket sales and oversee team operations for the Triple A minor league baseball feeder team for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals GM, John Mozeliak, came down from headquarters to make the announcement. Mozeliak says he wants a leader from the Cards to put their stamp on the Memphis operation.
"It's really my pleasure today to introduce to you Craig Unger," said Mozeliak. "We certainly want the Memphis Redbirds to have their own brand, their own identity, but there are some things we can do down here that replicate some things you see in St. Louis and Springfield, Missouri."
Unger talked about what he will do to promote the park.
"Some of it will be some marketing efforts this year of trying to get out the message of the Redbirds. The 15th anniversary of AutoZone Park and those things. A lot of it's going to be behind the scenes, and I think next year, when we roll out for the exhibition game in March, people are going to see big changes," he said.
Unger says he looks forward to helping to build up the organization and become part of the Memphis community. The Redbirds are the third minor league team owned by the Cardinals.
The new GM will meet with fans, season ticket holders, and sponsors over the coming months to help pack the stadium. In addition, Unger says it is about having an affordable, family-friendly park in the heart of downtown Memphis.

Ultimate X Match:Sabin defeats Jeff Hardy,Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and Manik to win TNA X-Division Championship
I thought the match was way too short and not allowed to ever kick into that next gear that Ultimate X matches are known for, especially with all the talent in one match, this thing could have used 10 more minutes. The crowd never got into it either, probably because the match didn't felt way too rushed. And the fact the match was focused on more on a ladder than anyone climbing the cables, in fact only two of the men really climbed them more than once (Aries and Manik)
The Outcome: Personally I like Sabin heeling it up by throwing Velvet in harms way and then grabbing the title quickly, he looked devious and now its not even close that he cares so much more about the title than Velvet's well being.
Tag Title Match:Bro-Mans defeats James Storm and Gunner to become New TNA Tag Team Champions
This was a way better match than you could have told me it would be, Bro-Mans worked hard to make the match interesting and the crowd noticed and there was a decent TNA chant during the match
The Outcome- I actually like Bro-Mans as the heel champions its gonna be interesting TV when they are the heel champs you just wanna see get their ass kicked, yet they weasel their way to victory every time. Also it means more Robbie E. on my TV....I can live with this
Knockouts Title Match- Gail Kim beats ODB and Brooke to win Knockouts title after Lei'd Tapa interferes on Kim's behalf
The match itself wasn't very good, the best part of it came after Lei'd Tapa interfered and powerbomb Brooke from the Ramp over the top rope in a nice spot that looked pretty damn cool.
The Outcome-This was by far the very best outcome TNA could have gave us, sure the interference didn't have to happen but the best Knockout in TNA has the title and that's probably the best for the division.
Bobby Roode Defeats Kurt Angle
This match was good if not great, Angle and Roode had this chemistry to them and the match just flowed well and their counters to each others moves were fluid and the crowd was SUPER into it, there were dueling Lets Go Angle and Lets go Roode chants, and they were about even, Roode seems to gave a lot of fans in San Diego a nice touch by TNA commentary to acknowledge that Roode had some fans there, I always think its dumb when announces make it blatantly obvious that they are ignoring chants for a heel.
The Outcome- I think the right choice was made, it was a little weird how it ended but Roode did come out ultimately looking tough and so did Kurt by getting off of the stretcher.
Ethan Carter III defeats Norv Fernum
EC3 had a cool entrance and from what I see I like from this character, this was a complete squash match as Fernum is one of the skinniest guys you will ever see grace a wrestling ring. EC3 also has a sick finisher, but that's about all this match really told us.
The Outcome- Obvious but that's the way it had to be, EC3 debuts on the big show and gets a win, and I can't wait to see him get an actual match and feud.
Magnus defeats Sting
The match was.....just bad.....In theory the match was supposed to elevate Magnus, but I wonder if having such a bad match on the biggest TNA PPV did more damage than good. Either way Magnus got a win in a match that was somehow worse than I had expected
The Outcome- Magnus gets the win and even though the match was bad, there is a way to use this to make Magnus look better. But what I didn't like is the dropped hints by commentary that seem to be pointing to a Magnus heel turn...which would be in my mind a huge mistake, although he's not catching on like fire as a face, so I guess a heel turn isn't the worst thing.
AJ Styles defeats Bully Ray to become to TNA World Heavyweight Champion
This match contain just about every kinda of run in you and distraction you would expect, Garrett Bischoff with a hammer, Knux coming out and chokeslamming AJ and then Dixie Carter telling Hebner not to count AJ's pinfall, now pushing that ALL ASIDE, this was a very stiff match, about half way through you could see some serious bruises from Bully Ray on AJ's chest, he held back very little in this match. And AJ put his body on the line and through hell in this match to make it memorable and send off this show in a good way, and the crowd certainly loved it and of course I did. AJ performed a spot in this match in which every wrestling fan should see a 450 splash from the top rope outside to a table which he went through that was REALLY CLOSE TO THE GUARD RAILING....it was risky and AJ proved his commitment to TNA with that spot. In the end AJ won with a spiral tap and then ran into the audience where he hugged various fans and then a coupe of fans lifted up AJ as he held the title above his head, not a bad way to end a PPV at all,
Outcome- This was the only logical move after going through all the work they did to get AJ into the final four of the BFG series and eventually win it. AJ is champion again and the live crowd loved the finish.
The Good-Main Event and Roode vs Angle
The Bad- Sting vs Magnus
The Grade- C, some decent matches in the Ultimate X and Tag Title Match and GREAT Matches in Roode vs Angle and The Main Event, TNA tried to make the night feel special by having all the title change hands which did make it feel special but there wasn't enough GREAT stuff, the two matches that were blew me away, nothing else on the card came close to those two though
Side Note- I am pretty damn happy with the title changes themselves, the titles overall seem to be in better places now
World Heavyweight Title with AJ
Knockouts title with Gail Kim
Tag Team Title with Bro-Mans
and X-Division title with Chris Sabin

A 27-year-old man was listed in critical condition at University Medical Center Wednesday, after a hot oil truck exploded in Southwest Levelland. Early EMS reports indicated Cody Jackson had second and third degree burns on 80% of his body.
The Levelland Fire Department received the call around 4:45, it took them almost two hours to contain the flames. One Levelland firefighter said he hadn't seen a fire of that magnitude since fire school during a training drill.
What started as a typical day at work ended at the emergency room for Cody Jackson, and Levelland residents just a half mile away saw the fire within seconds.
Levelland resident, Bobby Contrares said, "At about 4:45 we saw the smoke, next thing we knew we heard one explosion then 10 to 15 seconds later we heard another explosion and we didn't know what was going on."
A hot oil truck had blown up and flames filled the sky. A fire which would take Levelland, Smyer and Sundown Fire Departments to contain it.
Levelland Fire Chief, Marvin Brewer said, "The first thing we did was call for help because we knew we didn't have the manpower at all to handle the fire of this nature and this size."
NewsChannel 11's towercam picked up video from about 35 miles away. Another man saw the smoke near Hobbs, New Mexico, over 90 miles away.
"When we got about ten miles outside Hobbs, I saw the smoke and told my buddy surely that's not it, and we kept seeing it the closer we got," said Josh Mount, who works in similar oil field settings for Halliburton. He says seeing the aftermath from such an explosion sends a chill through him.
"It's not supposed to happen, we take a lot of precautions to make sure it doesn't happen. Everyone will be a lot safer tomorrow," said Mount.
The well has only been there for a month, Great Western owns it. Two Great Western employees were with Jackson at the time of the explosion, they didn't want to talk on camera, but said it was hard to watch their co-worker suffer.
The fire department doesn't know what caused the fire at this time, but the two employees say it started as a small simple fire, then 30 seconds later is when the explosion occurred.

Want to run Boxee on your PC or Mac? Then hurry up: Boxee is removing all copies of its PC-based app from its servers by the end of Tuesday to fully concentrate on the Boxee Box.
The company had announced that move late last year, and Boxee's VP of marketing Andrew Kippen confirmed Monday that it is going through with its plans, despite some criticism from Boxee's early adopters.
Boxee released the last version of its software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux at the end of December, and Kippen wrote at the time in a blog post:
"We believe the future of TV will be driven by devices such as the Boxee Box, Connected TVs / Blu-Rays and 2nd screen devices such as tablets and phones. While there are still many users who have computers connected to their TVs, we believe this use case is likely to decline as users find better alternatives. People will continue to watch a lot of video on their computer, but it is more likely to be a laptop than a home-theater PC and probably through a browser rather than downloaded software."
The most recent PC version of Boxee won't be supported by the company going forward. Boxee will instead concentrate all of its efforts on the CE market, where it's been selling the Boxee Box manufactured by D-Link for more than a year. It recently released a USB dongle that brings live broadcast TV to the Boxee Box and also released an iPad app last year.
Still, some of Boxee's early adopters are pretty upset about the company's decision to cease support for PCs. The blog post announcing the change provoked hundreds of comments, most of them negative. Boxee may be able to win some of those users over, but many are likely going to look for other solutions. Benefiting from this could be two media center products:
As for Boxee, cutting its losses and concentrating on its CE platform should help the company to keep up with an emerging market that pits it against much bigger players like Google and its Google TV platform. Boxee currently has 45 employees, and the company has raised a total of a $28.5 million in funding.
Check out our video review of the recently-released Boxee Live TV dongle below:

Who's running the show?
I just can't get over this. From Pincus: "Also interesting to note is that Thompkin's agent Arn Tellem, according to Olshey, tried to direct his client to the Clippers. "Tellem's been calling for two days, hoping that if Trey were to fall into the second round, we would be their team," said Olshey. "Arn just thought this was a great fit."" So... neither player worked out for the Clippers and they drafted them because their agent (also DeAndre Jordan's agent) wanted it to happen? "Arn just thought it was a great fit." Really? Really?!

Fixer, fix thyself. Easier said than done in the gaudy cesspool of soul-sucking mendacity we call Hollywood, where Ray Donovan plies his gruff trade as the strong and silent go-to problem-solver of the stars. Showtime's Ray Donovan (Sunday, 10/9c), the summer's best and boldest new show, is a Scandal for the serious-minded: outrageously compelling and teeming with sinister surprise, yet never seeming crazily sensational as it goes to emotional and violent extremes.
Liev Schreiber is joking that he could use a Ray Donovan right about now. The title character Schreiber plays on Showtime's new drama is a fixer for the Los Angeles elite — the guy you call when your agent, lawyer, manager, publicist, Pilates instructor and raw-food chef can't help you with a crisis. A high-priced-hooker habit? A taste for drugs? A gorgeous corpse in the bathtub? That's when Ray steps in with a plan.

"A succession of daily memorial services, it was," as Hugh Laurie puts it. "Someone would yell, 'Hey, everybody, this is Omar Epps' last scene!' 'This is Jesse Spencer's last scene!' 'This is B camera operator's last scene.' The art director's. The sound technician's. It became hard to process all the finality."

Whoever makes the halftime adjustments for this team sucks. Offensive and defensive. This is the same exact game as last time. Titans dominate in the first half by not allowing any offense at all and by moving the ball at will. BTW, Thanks Mr. Brown. Then second half the Titans can't move the ball, can't get to the QB, and can't defend a pass.
I love Cortland Finnegan, but he was horrible this game. I know he had a pick, but that's about it. I was there and had a bird's eye view (read VERY TOP ROW)Finnegan blew so many coverages it wasn't even funny. I could see the whole thing develop, and it made me want to vomit. It wasn't just him as there were a couple others that blew coverages, but his were the worst.
Vince has decided or it has been decided for him, that he can no longer run in this league. There were several times he could have run and did not. Most notably on a third down play where he started to run and pulled back to throw a long one to Gage. Ok. Maybe Gage screwed up and cut his route short, but Vince could have EASILY run for 20 yards on that play.
I'm sorry. I'm rambling. It's late, Ive just driven a very long time and I'm pissed that we let an inferior team beat us. I'll create a more thorough and rational post after I've calmed down and watched the game over.

NYT: Pentagon Primed TV Military Experts
Posted on Apr 19, 2008
The Bush administration's skill in working the media to promote its interests is not a new story, but The New York Times has just uncovered a new twist: According to the paper, administration insiders courted a troop of retired military men to serve as trained PR agents for the White House on major broadcast outlets.
What was in it for them? Well, as the report explains, "Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air." Access to top administration officials equaled money, and lots of money was on the line.

Fadel -Excellent, excellent, excellent post. I have only recently heard of Lee Iaoocca's book "Where have all the leaders gone".
If it doesn't crystalize what's wrong with this country and it's lack of leadership I don't know what does.
I personally think Ron Paul was the best choice we had to institute the changes necessary to begin to turn this country around. Hope, faith and promises arent't going to cut it. We're too far down the road of no return for mere rhetoric to help. It will take decisive action and changes that aren't going to be agreeable to all to get it done. But that's what real leadership is about.
I've fought in one war I was told was to save this country only to find out it was BS. I'm ready to fight in a revolution to save it this time because I know it's necessary and it isn't BS.
Wake up - it's your country these scumbags are giving away. Get fu*king mad and get even. When have you had enough of these stick figures you're given to vote for.
Get motivated people. Get it done.

For the love of money.That is America. That is why America will eventually fall. Just like the Roman empire. Generals are like the greedy Corporations. Make the dollar at the Country's expense. Just like Halliburton,KRB and Blackwater. All Bush cronies raping the US of it's treasury for their own greed. While the rest of America run up 48 trillion dollars in debt that will never be repaid. Greedy mortgage lenders ruined the housing industry. Greedy oil companies gouge the American consumer. A impearealistic President settles a old score by starting a war in a country that was not a threat to us. And former Generals as well as Bushes cronies make money off a illegal and immoral war.

These 'type' of military analysts will do anything for a buck. For a few shillings they sold out their honor and integrity as enablers of the Iraqi war charade. Like good soldiers, they fall-in and goose-step to the sound of the cash register. We may be impressed by the honor of the military uniform, but sometimes not by the individual(s) who wears it.

Col. Allard teaches at the University of Texas San Antonio and is a columnist for the Express News, San Antonio.I am astonished by these findings. Are these six patriots or what? Mills devotes an entire chapter to how the media manipulates the masses, in his book "The Power Elite" written 50 years ago, but as valid now as then.

Some stingers
Suddenly, in the aftermath of Katrina, the right wing worthies discovered that a conservative Executive Branch and Congress went on a spending spree over the past few years. So, they have set out to slash programs for the vulnerable. Oh, and they might eliminate an earmark here and there - but for the most part there is more pork in this Congress than in a Jimmy Dean sausage factory.
And this,
Meet Jack Abramoff conservatism. Unlimited greed in the pursuit of power is no vice. Principled conservatism in pursuit of small government is no virtue.
The fact is that there is no longer a conservative domestic agenda except in one vital area - the courts. And the left has no coherent philosophy or strategy to defeat conservative jurists. In fact, the lefties has successfully made the nominees sympathetic figures.

1. Jason Hanson, DET at PHI
Jason Hanson was raised by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, where he was taught to kick apples by a friendly serpent. Yeah, he's that old. But he's a damn good kicker. Hanson has had four field goals in two of his last three games, and only missed one kick all season. So he's still deadly accurate. Only the Panthers have allowed more field goals than the Philadelphia Eagles, Hanson's Week 6 opponent.
2. Matt Bryant, ATL vs. OAK
Matt Bryant is averaging two field goals and three extra points per week. Not bad. He's also one of only four kickers who has attempted more than 10 field goals and not missed a kick this season. That should continue this week as no one has missed a kick against the Oakland Raiders this season and each of their opponents has had a minimum of five kick attempts in every game. It's a match!
3. Blair Walsh, MIN at WAS
Blair Walsh has been a weapon for the 4-1 Vikings. The rookie kicker has hit 12 of 13 field goals this season and all 12 PATs. The Redskins have alternated allowing one field goal and three field goals every week. Last week they allowed one, so Walsh will put three through the uprights at FedEx Field this weekend.
4. Shaun Suisham, PIT at TEN
Shaun Suisham usually doesn't make this list for a bunch of reasons, but the fact that he has now converted all eight of his field goal attempts this season has us starting to believe. This week he's kicking in cowboy boots as the Steelers invade Nashville. The Titans have allowed a jaw-dropping 20 PATs already this season. That's four per game! So there's four free points, the rest of the field goals should be gravy.
5. David Akers, SF vs. NYG
David Akers certainly is not on pace to attempt another 52 field goals as he did last year, and the fact that he has missed three kicks in the last three weeks is concerning. What we're not worried about is the Niners resurgent offense that put up 79 points in the last two weeks. This week the 49ers host a Giants team that hasn't been great at keeping opponents off of the scoreboard. It could be a shootout and will likely come down to an Akers kick.
6. Stephen Gostkowski, NE at SEA
No player in the league has attempted more kicks this season than Stephen Gostkowski, who has now lined up for 32 total kicks this year. While the Ghost's field goal conversion percentage of 78% is a bit lower than years past, he still plays for one of the best offenses in the league and will get more opportunity than anyone else. Even a trip to the always tough CenturyLink Field can't take him out of the top 10. The Seahawks have not allowed more than two total kicks in a home game this season.
7. Connor Barth, TB vs. KC
The one kicker in the league that constantly reminds me of vomiting every time I say his name has made every field goal this season. Yes, it's true, he missed an extra point last week, but that happens to everyone right? BARTH! Tampa faces off against the Chiefs this weekend. Kansas City has allowed three field goals in each of the last two weeks, including last week's epic field goal battle with the Ravens.
8. Greg Zuerlein, STL at MIA
Rookie Greg "Don't Call Me the Leg" Zuerlein has converted the most field goals in the NFL this season (13) and has yet to miss a kick. The Rams offense has stalled quite often this season (only four teams have fewer extra point attempts than St. Louis), giving Zuerlein plenty of chances to hit from distance. A trip to Miami to face a Dolphins team that has allowed opponents to attempt three or more field goals in three of five games this year could mean another double digit fantasy day for Legatron.
9. Shayne Graham, HOU vs. GB
When in doubt, dome kickers for undefeated teams are usually a good bet (see Matt Bryant for more details). Shayne Graham recently named his kicking shoe Hershey and refers to the K ball as a marshmallow so he can make s'more field goals. That was incredibly dumb. I'm very sorry. Graham is second in the league with 17 PATs and has converted 10 of 11 field goals this season. The Packers have allowed seven field goal attempts in the last two weeks.
10. Lawrence Tynes, NYG at SF
The highest scoring kicker in football is Lawrence Tynes, who has hit 13 of 14 field goal attempts along with all 15 PATs. When Eli Manning and Victor Cruz are on your side, it makes your job pretty easy. This week Tynes travels cross country to a place where he booted a game winner in the playoffs last season that landed the Giants in the Super Bowl. The Niners have only given up one field goal… total… in the last two weeks.
