The Tea Party is getting back on more solid ground -- midterm elections where in 2010 the fledgling, grassroots movement unseated so-called "Washington insiders" and helped Republicans win control of the House.
The loosely knit coalition of groups has already targeted some of the Republican Party's most established candidates, accusing them of compromising their conservative principles in negotiating with Democrats.
The Tea Party Express even boasted this winter that promising to mount a primary challenge against Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss forced him to retire instead of seeking a third term.
"Lest anyone think this decision is about a primary challenge, I have no doubt that had I decided to be a candidate, I would have won re-election," responded Chambliss, who was part of a bipartisan Senate group that tried to reduce the national debt.
One of the most recent, high-profile Tea Party challenges is in South Carolina, where Nancy Mace, the first female graduate of The Citadel, is trying to unseat two-term Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose efforts to pass immigration-reform legislation appears most upsetting to the movement.
Graham also frustrated conservatives so much this spring when criticizing fellow Republican and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul for filibustering over the Obama administration's drone strikes that FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe said Graham was "begging for a primary."
Graham is also facing a primary challenge from Christian conservative lawyer Richard Cash and more recently from Libertarian-minded state Sen. Lee Bright, who plans to make an official announcement within weeks.
The Tea Party Express recently announced it plans to target 25 House races and seven to 10 Senate races, mostly with Democratic incumbents, including Sens. Al Fraken in Minnesota and Mark Udall in Colorado.
Udall is being challenged by Ken Buck, a Tea Party Republican and Weld County district attorney who ran an unsuccessful 2010 campaign to unseat Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.
"The false narrative continues to be written that the Tea Party is dead and that 2014 will not be like 2010," the Tea Party Express recently said. "However, every month we see a strong example to the contrary."
The California-based group also said it is going across the country to find conservative candidates and lay the groundwork for 2014.
Republicans are expected to keep the House and appear to have a realistic chance of taking control of the Senate by winning a net total of six seats.
However, expensive, bruising primaries at the hands of Tea Party candidates could hurt Republicans like they did in some 2010 and 2012 races and hurt the party's chances of retaking the Senate.
"The Republican path to success in the Senate is pretty narrow," Jennifer Duffy, a Senate analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, recently told Reuters. "If they lose one or two seats because of a difficult primary, that's a huge problem. And it's possible."
Two of the other high-profile Tea Party primary challenges to Senate Republicans are to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky and Sen. Mike Enzi in Wyoming.
McConnell is facing a challenge from businessman and political newcomer Matt Bevin, who has endorsements from conservative groups including the Madison Project and the United Kentucky Tea Party, a coalition of 14 like-mined organizations.
McConnell is considered vulnerable but is expected to win a sixth term with his own conservative backing, which includes the national group Tea Party Nation and Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul, elected as part of the 2010 Tea Party wave.
The challenge to the 69-year-old Enzi by Liz Cheney, daughter of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, appears to follow the Tea Party script, targeting incumbents who the movement thinks have lost touch with district voters by staying too long in Congress and who have tried compromising in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
"I'm running because I believe it is necessary for a new generation of leaders to step up to the plate," Cheney said in announcing her campaign. "Instead of cutting deals with the president's liberal allies, we should be opposing them every step of the way."

The Cincinnati Bengals were able to escape with a big win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon, but it definitely wasn't easy, as the team needed quite a few big plays to come away with a 38-31 victory. For that, the experts at SB Nation's Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, have decided that the Bengals' offensive coordinator deserves some recognition.
Jay Gruden was given top billing on Sunday evening when Cincy Jungle looked at exactly who deserved credit for the Bengals' big win. In fact, Josh Kirkendall even went as far as to say that it was the "Jay Gruden Game of the Year."
If we have to blanket coaches for their motivation and game plan, we're giving all of our attention to offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. Gruden called multiple wildcat-like formations, both of which resulted in touchdowns. Mohamed Sanu threw a 73-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage (more on that in a minute) and BenJarvus Green-Ellis took a direct snap in the second quarter, breaking into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown. During a 15-play possession in the second quarter, Bengals suddenly changed the pace of the drive, going from a methodical drive to a hurry-up no huddle offense that clearly put the Redskins on their heals. Unfortunately the drive stalled and ended without points following a fake field goal to Kevin Huber.
It's great that the coordinator is being given credit for his success on Sunday afternoon, but even better that the Bengals were able to execute on some of his more intriguing play calls.
For the latest news and analysis on the Washington Redskins, head over to Hogs Haven. For more on the Cincinnati Bengals, check out Cincy Jungle.

Ronald V. Frey, a 41 year-old man from Antlers will go in front of Judge Jana Wallace on July 27, 2011 for his preliminary hearing. Due to miscommunication and incomplete information transmissions the reason why he is being charged with this (police statements and affidavits of probable cause) is unknown at this time.
A personal injury collision occurred at approximately 6:52 a.m. on US70 about one mile west of Boswell in Choctaw County resulting the injury of Mica Nickole Griffith of Antlers.
The 19 year-old white female from Antlers was airlifted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX., in fair condition with head and trunk internal injuries.

He had been in public education for 30 years as a teacher, coach & School Administrator. He enjoyed his dogs & working, but Jerry especially loved spending time with his grandchildren, family, & friends.
Some of our local troops from Pushmataha County have recently had their deployment destinations changed. Originally these troops, members of "D Company 700 Support" out of McAlester, were supposed to be heading to Afghanistan after training at Camp Shelby, MS., since March.
Recent assignment changes, however, have these troops now looking at putting boots on the ground in Kuwait (a small country surrounded by Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf of Oman) sometime in early July for a 9 month tour of duty.
After the extremely wet spring we faced no one would have ever thought that with the 4th of July just around the corner we would be in need of rain as badly as we are. Although we are not in as bad of shape as Florida or west Texas, misused and unattended fireworks could have devastating consequences.
The following steps will help to keep you and your land safe this fourth of July weekend:
1. Avoid mixing fireworks with alcohol or drugs. It's a celebratory occasion, and its easy to forget that mixing alcohol and fireworks is never a good idea.
On Friday, June 24, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. the Push For A Better America Political Tea Party held a meeting at Molina's Mexican Restaurant in Antlers. The meeting started out with an opening prayer and was directly followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Oklahoma is leading the way by being the first state in the nation to offer a Pancreatic Cancer Awareness/Funding license plate. It will be available by November 1, 2011. No other state in the nation has such a license plate.
It is a fund-raising license plate for the OU Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, dedicated to the continuing research for early diagnosis and treatment and hopefully a cure of Pancreatic Cancer.
Most Oklahoman's don't know we have research in Oklahoma for, early diagnosis, treatment and cure for Pancreatic Cancer.
Meaghan Bates, a student at Rattan Elementary, was recently named the 2011 OYRA Champion Barrel Racer.
We haven't had a scramble in over a month due to lack of participation. We have been playing CATS for the last few weeks but last week there were only 3 of us. Until further notice, the Thursday Scrambles are suspended.
If you are a golfer and want to see Wednesday, Thursday or Friday competitions, get in touch with me and we can discuss something. Without community support I cannot continue to groom the course mid week and have no one come out.
Special thanks to the guys who come out on Monday evenings. We'll keep it groomed for you.

Occupying the site of a former legendary Shoreditch venue known as the TBar, this restaurant is an interesting mixed bag of a proposition. to be frank the service was substandard. Not one detail was executed to the letter, on point or promptly. This became a huge matter of frustration as several times a bottle of wine or drinks were brought to the table and the waiter didnt bring enough glasses, pour glasses for everyone and just sloped off without completing the tables drinks orders.
The food? Pretty ok pizzas with interesting fresh ingredients but to be frank the execution was no better than Pizza Express.
The venue was super hot and stuffy. I couldnt wait to pay the bill and get the hell out of there to get some fresh air. I probably wont make a return journey back to this venue as there are too many superior places to eat in this neck of the woods. Keep up this level of service and you wont have any customers left…

A Secret Santa stopped at a Wal-Mart in Kentucky and paid $1300 in layaway for people he didn't even know.
FOX's Gilbert Corsey has more from one mother touched by the secret hero.
When you listen to Tequila Batts explain her situation it's a wonder she's still alive hit by a train, homeless, divorced all at the same time.
"I can't believe someone out there picked me and don't know anything about me and my situation," Batt said. "I had already told her just give momma more time."
She had all but written off another Christmas for her 10-year-old daughter Quiajah.
"And this is the first time in two years I'm able to give her what she wanted right on time," Batt said.
There are167 more "right on time" stories coming from the Wal-Mart on Cane Run Road in Louisville, KY.
The Secret Santa whose sleigh landed here last week paid off $13,000 in layaway gifts that were heading back to the shelf because people couldn't pay.
When the donor came in Wal-Mart, workers started looking for who needed help and people that hadn't paid in a while with toys or toddlers clothing on hold.
The Secret Santa had just two requests, to remain anonymous and for the families he helped to pay it forward.
Tequila Batts had just $150 left on her layaway and now her Christmas is priceless.
"Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart you have no idea what this meant for me and my daughter God bless you and I will pass it on," Batts said

The life of an artist can often be isolated and cold. I fight to remain unattached to my work as a video editor, because of the inevitable threat of a client's email entitled REVISIONS. In addition, I am always searching for ways to maintain a social and creative balance. RELEASE is my key to freedom. It has granted me access to an outstanding number of new people, and it allows me to safely give myself to a cause without fear of anything being discarded. Furthermore, this project has become my loudspeaker to promote the benefits of using art as a form of powerful self-expression and unification.

Last Sunday we drove to the airport and my son boarded a plane. On his own and he is only thirteen. He is off for a week camping with a friend and his family. Why we are not with him, you may ask? We are staying put because, contrary to popular belief, camping for me has always been a very expensive holiday option. "Always" as in the three times I've tried it, that is. I tried camping for the first time about twenty years ago; we were young(ish) and my step sons were still at an age when sleeping in […] Read more »
Would You Bust Your Budget to Boycott a Business?
We have a running joke at my house that I should never tell my brother-in-law where I purchased the food I cook for him when he visits. When I happen to accidentally say it out loud he plugs his ears with his fingers and loudly repeats, "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA," as to try to tune out what I'm saying. The reason being that the vast majority of our grocery shopping is done at Walmart. He refuses to shop there because he disagrees with how Walmart generally pays and treats its employees. These kinds of boycotts are not […] Read more »

I Love You Like a Blogger Roundup – 7/25
After a summer that started out with so much rain that it caused flooding problems in many parts of the great state of Minnesota, it's been awfully dry lately. This morning, however, I woke up to the sweet sound of thunder and the pitter patter of rain hitting my bedroom window. I LOVE aimlessly drifting in and out of consciousness listening to a thunderstorm, and I allowed myself to this pleasure for darn near an hour.

Don't be sloppy with your money: make sure to get what is due to you
One thing I know well is debt. Small wonder this is: I lived with debt for quite a few years before we reached a crisis point and dealt with it once and for all. Debt, however, is just a symptom while the illness is in a number of behaviour patterns we acquire on the way. My illness was in: Refusing to talk about money; Refusing to check on my money; Convincing myself that I need stuff (I didn't really); Not having a big, fat dream for my life; and Being sloppy about money. How can one be sloppy about money, […] Read more »

We're Getting a Debt Consolidation Loan, and I'm OK With That
Hot off the presses, EOD Nation, despite all you may have read, debt consolidation loans are not evil. Even after completing a debt management plan in which we paid off $109,000 of credit card debt, my wife and I knew we still had actions we had to take to really get our finances completely on the right path. One of those actions is paying off two additional lines of credit that could not be included in our debt management plan. Our goal was to consolidate these two lines of credit with a single consolidation loan. We applied for such a […] Read more »
How do I Know How Much Equity I Have?
It's actually very difficult to find out what equity you have in order to refinance unless you actually do so. The problem with this is that completing an application to refinance has associated fees which can be high. It's a big investment when you are not guaranteed a positive outcome. Figuring out the equity in your home is about comparing what you owe with what your home is worth on the real estate market; the loan to value (LTV) ratio. There is a common belief that an 80% ratio is ideal, but it is possible to re-finance with a much […] Read more »

The most useful money-saving sites online
In these times of widespread financial uncertainty in today's economies, families across the UK, USA and Europe are worrying about how to keep on top of those everyday costs of living. With wage freezes and cuts the norm across many different sectors of the economy – private as well as public – millions of people have seen their household income squeezed over the last few years. Unemployment has of course been persistently high since 2008 and it seems as if there's little prospect of a rapid turnaround in the economic outlook.

People get sick, layoffs happen, and the household income drops due to unforeseen circumstances. When you find yourself short on cash, which do you let be late: The mortgage or credit cards? According to TransUnion, one of the major credit reporting agencies, more Americans choose to pay their credit card bills to keep from being late than keep a mortgage current. Is this wise?

As 30,000 join California prison hunger strike, corrections officials issue guidelines on starvation
On Monday, July 8, California prisoners launched their third hunger strike in two years, protesting conditions in the Security Housing Units (SHUs), where thousands of prisoners are held in segregation units designed to limit communication. While the largest one-day participation of the prior two strikes rose to over 11,000, Monday's strike began with a historic 30,000 people inside California's prisons refusing breakfast and lunch.
In a phone call with Solitary Watch this morning, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) spokeswoman Terry Thornton stated that updated numbers will not be available until later this afternoon, and Thornton emphasized that a hunger strike is not officially declared until an individual refuses nine consecutive meals and that while inmates may refuse state-issued meals, they may also eat canteen items.
Solitary Watch inquired with CDCR as to the review process, which began last year, of more than 3,000 SHU prisoners throughout the state placed there for being affiliated with certain prison gangs. CDCR has stated its intention of reviewing all individuals in the SHU to determine whether or not they should be retained in the SHU, placed in the Step Down Program by which they could hypothetically get out of the SHU in four years, or transferred to the general population immediately.
According to Thornton, as of June 28, 382 reviews have been completed. Of them, 208 were approved for immediate transfer to the general population, indicating that they were not engaged in gang activity; 115 were placed in the Step Down Program; and the remaining 59 were retained in either the SHU or Administrative Segregation Unit (ASU). The 59 were retained either for undefined "safety reasons" or because they were dropping out of their gangs. Thornton told Solitary Watch that these reviews will continue despite the hunger strike, and does not foresee these reviews being disrupted by strike activity.
Thornton also stated that lines of communication between CDCR and prisoner representatives remain open and that there has been ongoing communication between strike leaders and prison officials.press release outlining "policies, procedures, and care guides" for use during a prison hunger strike. The release, which suggests that officials are preparing for a prolonged strike, is accompanied by several detailed documents.
One of these documents is a guide for health care practitioners titled "CCHCS Mass Hunger Strike, Fasting & Refeeding Care Guide" and includes guidelines on managing the health care of prisoners through various "stages of fasting" and their "voluntary refeeding" after a period of starvation, which presents health care risks of its own. It includes a series of educational handouts describing the risks of permanent damage or death from refusing nutrition and advises prisoners to fill out an advance directive form "if you do NOT want health care staff to give you medical care when you are not able to speak." It informs prisoners, "Health care staff will not give you food or fluid as long as you make it clear that you do not want them to."
Another policy document includes a section on "Informed Consent and Intervention," which states:
"Health care staff shall grant inmate-patients autonomy in health care decisions related to nutrition and shall not force feed the inmate-patient unless one of the following criteria are met:
- "The inmate-patient's condition meets the definition of emergency status … [As defined in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 15, § 3351(a): "An emergency exists when there is a sudden, marked change in an inmate's condition so that action is immediately necessary for the preservation of life or the prevention of serious bodily harm to the inmate or others, and it is impracticable to first obtain consent."]
- "The inmate-patient is deemed unable to give informed consent as defined in CCR Title 15, Article 8, § 3353.1 and the institution obtains an appropriate court order per CCR, Title 15, Article 8, §3351(a) to treat a mentally incompetent inmate-patient.
"Forced feeding (enteral or parenteral nutrition support) shall not take place except in a licensed health care facility by licensed clinical staff."
Both documents suggest that CDCR does not plan to undertake the kind of mass force-feeding that has been so controversial at Guantanamo. They also suggest that the state is willing to countenance a long and possibly deadly hunger strike rather than meet the demands laid out by the participants.

it seems that the CDCR is seriously trying to cover their asses…but then, the CDCR has always been duplicitous about the rights of those under their "care, custody, and control."↓

The Magnificent Seven 2.02.14: The Top 7 Batista Moments
Posted by
Mike Chin
on 02.02.2014
From challenging The Undertaker's Streak and decimating Shawn Michaels to leaving Evolution and more, 411's Mike Chin counts down the top seven moments of Batista's WWE career.
The Royal Rumble has come and gone and, as predicted, Batista walked out the winner. Many, including myself, were disappointed with this outcome. Batista is an archetypal WWE main eventer in many less than positive ways—a big musclehead with some charisma and a limited move set—in contrast to CM Punk, or, all the more so, Daniel Bryan, who many of us uppity fan people were hoping to see win the Rumble.
It's easy to demonize someone we didn't want to see win, but I do also feel that there's value in giving The Animal his due and recognizing those moments when he exceeded his own (real or perceived) limitations and actually provided some entertaining, electrifying, or otherwise quality moments.
Please note
: This is
a countdown of Batista's greatest accomplishments or best matches (though there may be some overlap). This list is all about moments that suggested perhaps we, the fans, should have faith in the big guy.
#7. Escaping the Punjabi Prison
When word came out that The Great Khali would face Batista in a Punjabi Prison Match at No Mercy 2007, I don't think anyone set their expectations all that high. To be fair, I'd be pretty generous to give the resulting match three stars,
the match's climax did feature one spectacular moment. For those who don't recall, the Punjabi Prison is a double bamboo cage where competitors can exit the inner cage via one of four doors that can each only open once, or by scaling over the top of it. From there, there is a second larger cage which the winner has to climb over and have his feet hit the floor first to win the match.
In this encounter, Khali had Batista beaten down, had made his way out of the first cage, and started up the second cage with Batista still down on the mat and no doors left in play. It was an unusual moment, because no one really expected Khali to win at the time and yet, little by little, his advantage seemed insurmountable.
But Batista got up.
He got and he climbed like a mad man, getting over the top of the first cage while Khali was only halfway up the second. Then after a moment's pause, he
, clearing the chasm between cages with greater agility than we'd ever seen from the big man. One of JBL's favorite phrasings is to suggest that a performer need to wrestle like he's in someone else's body—this was the first time I recall hearing him say it, and it was perfectly apropos. Seconds later, Batista was over the top of the second cage, and seconds after that he dropped down ahead of Khali to retain his world title.
#6. Putting the Dead Man in the Ground
Sometimes, an unlikely pairing demonstrates remarkable chemistry—such was the case for the big man wars between 'Taker and Batista in 2007. The Undertaker beat Batista at Wrestlemania after which point they wrestled to two draws. They rekindled their rivalry that fall at Cyber Sunday. Batista dropped Undertaker with a thundering Batista Bomb—but it was only good enough for a two count. Unlike countless weary performers before him, Batista was not intimidated by The Phenom's refusal to stay down. Instead, he got angry. Shoulders heaving, Batista demanded that 'Taker get up, then demolished him with another Batista bomb to pick up a rare, clean-as-a-sheet pinfall victory over The Dead Man.
#5. I Don't Love You and I Am Not Sorry
"I'm sorry. I love you."
These simple words precede Shawn Michaels's career-ending superkick against Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 24, offering fans one of the most beautiful, iconic moments in pro wrestling history. These conflicted words, and the decision to KO Flair in a match that would force his retirement, would launch several months of feuds for Michaels against Batista and Chris Jericho.
The Batista segment of HBK's feud culminated at One Night Stand 2008 in a Stretcher Match. Batista positively decimated Michaels, leading up to this moment, not as iconic as the one at 'Mania, but every bit as poetic for using Michaels's words against him, arguably serving up justice, and completely embodying Batista's rage, when he drags Michaels to his feet, stares him in the eye and says, "Just so you know, I don't love you and I'm not sorry." A Batista Bomb later, Michaels was unconscious and easy prey for Batista to load on a stretcher and wheel past the line for the big win.
#4. Challenging the Streak
Though it would turn out that Wrestlemania 23 was only the start of a lengthy feud between Batista and The Undertaker, that doesn't take a thing away from just how excellent this match was. In a 'Mania that sold on The Battle of the Billonaires, that saw numerous main event talents squeezed into Money in the Bank, and that placed John Cena-Shawn Michaels in the main event, Batista-'Taker was a bit of an afterthought. The two big men would not abide that, turning in a wild back-and-forth brawl that included an awesome powerslam spot through the announce table.
No, Batista did not beat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, but he did take The Phenom to the limit, and offer up one of the best chapters in the story of The Streak.
#3. I'm Gonna Rip Your Head Off
Bragging Rights 2009 saw a Fatal Four-way between Batista, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and the reigning World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker. In the matches final movements, Batista grew dominant, taking out Punk, then flinging Mysterio out of the ring on top of him—only to turn around into a Tombstone.
Batista and Mysterio had played best buddies for years. In a post-match interview, Mysterio seemed to reflect on the bout as friendly competition. Batista, however, was livid that his friend had cost him a title win. To quote The Beast, "I'm gonna rip your head off." The great thing about seeing a guy like Batista make a claim like that is that he has every bit the strength and pent-up rage to make the threat
viable. The beat down to follow isn't tremendously well developed, but does present a nice piece of storytelling for both the logical and the sudden nature of The Animal going heel, all at once turning the main event scene on its head.
#2. The Destruction of Edge
The date was Monday, June 30, 2008. The brand split was still on and, in an unlikely turn of events, after the draft and Night of Champions, the Raw brand no longer had a world champion on its roster. In perfect dick heel fashion, Edge came out at the top of the show to address the crowd. One night earlier, The Rated-R Superstar had retained his World Heavyweight Championship against Batista via nefarious means, and on this night he wasn't there to fight—just to gloat at the Raw brand's expense.
As Edge gave the live crowd final a salute at the top of the entrance ramp, Batista's music hit. The Animal appeared, bare-chested and in blue jeans. He wasn't going to get a rematch and it was clear that that didn't matter. He was there to seek and destroy. Over the course of the three minutes to follow, Batista delivered one of the most righteous, badass, and one-sided beatings in WWE history, culminating in a massive Batista Bomb. While this TV segment is probably best remembered for the two minutes to follow, during which CM Punk cashed in his first Money in the Bank briefcase for his first world title reign, the sight of the enraged Animal and the assault to follow are more than worthy of recognition in their own right.
#1. Thumbs Down
Most picks on this list have been heavily influence by personal opinion, but I defy anyone to name a more electric moment in Batista's career than the point at which he walked away from Evolution in favor of challenging Triple H at Wrestlemania.
The story of this moment begins the night after SummerSlam 2004. Randy Orton had just won his first world championship, and to celebrate, Big Dave lifted Randall up on his shoulders. Triple H gave him the thumbs up—then the thumbs down. Batista proceeded to nail Orton with the electric chair, and the mauling to follow officially removed Orton from Evolution.
Fast forward five months and Batista had been teasing a face turn for weeks, to the point that he was more or less treated as a face when he won the 2005 Royal Rumble. His stablemates, Triple H and Ric Flair encouraged him to use his Wrestlemania title shot to jump to Smackdown and face off with JBL. In the main event segment of Raw, Batista had the option to sign a contract for the championship match of his choice. He drops the Raw contract and seems ready jump ship. Triple H and Flair flash him thumbs up signs. Batista returns the gesture—then turns the thumb down. In the moments to follow, he decks both of his former allies, tosses The Nature Boy from the Ring, and powerbombs Trips through a table to complete the face turn and set in stone his first Wrestlemania main event, squaring off against The Game.
Those are my top seven Batista moments. What did I miss? And what do you think of The Animal? Speak your mind in the comments. See you in seven.

July 11, 2005Cairo-- Hurricane Dennis dumped nearly a half foot of rain on parts of South Georgia. The result has been flash flooding and washed out roads.
A swath of debris marks the destruction Hurricane Dennis left in our region's southwestern counties yesterday. "There was a lot of pretty heavy wind and a lot of heavy rain," said Storm Victim Jimmy Singletary. But for Grady Singletary, "It was ok until the electricity went off and the power went out."
Crews have restored power to Singletary, and about 95% of the other customers in Grady. "They finally got it back on about 3:00 this morning."
The same goes for Thomas, Miller, Seminole, and Decatur Counties. Grady EMA Director, Jim Ellis, says, "We're in the recovery mode. The main concern right now is the roads. There are still some roads that are impassable due to water over them."
The water over one closed road in Grady County is so deep that it reaches about halfway up the street signs. The situation is similar for several roads in neighboring Thomas County. Three roads are closed because of water in Thomas.
But that could change for the worse Tuesday there, as well as in Grady. "The Ochlocknee should crest at the bridge around 1:00PM. Just over the eighteen foot flood stage, and just over the county line," said Ellis. "We will look at closing the lower Cairo road between Thomasville and Cairo."
A precaution to avoid a repeat of two minor car accidents during yesterday's storm. Fortunately, the injuries were also minor, but more than 150 trees fell in those five counties.

Nothing's official yet, but it sure looks like Torii Hunter is leaving the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Hunter's coming off an excellent season, and this is probably a good time to mention that he has aged exceptionally well, with a significantly better OPS+ from ages 32-36 than 27-31. That's no mean feat. Still, it's hard to argue with a team's decision to not commit a great deal of money to Hunter, considering that he did turn 37 last July. It's highly likely that we've seen his best, but whoever signs him for the next three or four years will probably be paying for his best (without getting it).
It's also hard to argue with the Angels trading Ervin Santana to the Royals, and not picking up their big-money option on Dan Haren; general manager Jerry Dipoto and his staff presumably know a lot more about Santana and Haren than we do.
They also know a lot more than we do about their chances of re-signing Zack Greinke. As things stand now, though, here's the Angels' 2013 pitching rotation:
1. Jered Weaver
2. C.J. Wilson
3. Andrew Wing
4. Alex Hope
5. Arthur Prayer
Only eight pitchers started even one game for the Angels last season. Weaver, Wilson, Haren, Santana and Greinke accounted for 137 of 162 starts. Journeyman Jerome Williams started 15 games, and went 6-8 with a 4.83 ERA. Rookie Garrett Richards started nine games, and went 3-2 with a terrible strikeout-to-walk ratio. Brad Mills started once.
Richards was considered the Angels' top pitching prospect, but his performance in Triple-A was uninspiring. Mills pitched poorly in the minors last season. The number of MLB-ready, starting-pitcher prospects in the Angels' farm system is approximately zero.
Now, here's the Angels' projected outfield without Torii Hunter:
LF - Mark Trumbo
CF - Mike Trout
RF - Vernon Wells
In the middle, Mike Trout can do literally everything. In left field, Trumbo can hit but can't run or field. In right, Wells can't hit or run or field. There's also Peter Bourjos, who has been wildly inconsistent as a hitter in the majors. While a natural center fielder, Bourjos would at least give the Angels fantastic defense in one of the corner spots.
And again, no help coming from the minors. Well, except for maybe 5'10", 200-pound Kole Calhoun, who posted solid numbers in Triple-A this year after completely skipping Double-A. He's no Torii Hunter, though. Not yet, anyway.
We can be sure that Jerry Dipoto, nobody's fool, has plans for improving the club. Or at least keeping them on the beam; after all, they did win 89 games this season, and would have won more if Mike Trout and (the real) Albert Pujols had been around in April. But Dipoto's options are narrowing quickly. He doesn't have much trade bait because the farm system is relative bare. And if Greinke and Hunter escape, the Angels' options on the free-agent market will be quite limited, as this year's crop is probably the weakest in many years.
And the scary thing is that even if Greinke's back, the Angels will still have two rotation slots to fill, which will be either silly-expensive or probably ineffective.
It's far too early to count out the Angels in 2013. But they've got a lot of work to do between now and Opening Day.
Update: According to this piece, Dipoto and (presumably) Mike Scioscia have already decided that Mike Trout will shift to left field -- a waste of talent, in this writer's opinion -- with Bourjos taking over in center field, and Trumbo playing right. This does not materially change the basic equation, which is that the Angels will have one outstanding outfielder, and two decent ones.

Oooh, thanks for giving me the heads up. I totally forgot about this. Just downloaded it.
I've got to watch the Tigers game first, but I will get to it as I have the chance.
So, who got it? Who liked it? And who didn't?
I liked it well enough, it sets things up nicely.
That said, I didn't watch Smallville in later years, so Oliver and Chloe being married is news to me. Did that happen in the show?
Oooh, thanks for giving me the heads up. I totally forgot about this. Just downloaded it.
I've got to watch the Tigers game first, but I will get to it as I have the chance.
I didn't know it was out until today, but I enjoyed it. It's nice to see an optimistic, "good guy" Superman. And I love a reality where Lois & Clark are together!!!
So it's better than the terrible TV show, then?
Real friends don't blow up your pony.
The TV show was good initially but the more it became about an adult Superman, the worse it seemed to get. The 3rd rate JLA in it didn't help at all as it was basically all about Superman and Green Arrow.
I think the show ran several years too long and it should have ended shortly after Clark joining the Daily Planet.
Independence... Nah!!!
Sounds about right. When I stopped following it it had become something like a teen drama with some superpowers attached. Still had its cool moments. Though, towards the end I mainly just checked for any cool scenes of Green Arrow (probably the best thing comming out of that shoe, shortly after Chloe) on youtube, instead of suffering through a whole episode.
Seasons in the middle were kind of a mess. But they actually, IMO, nailed it at the end. I thought S9 and S10 were great.
But I have a HUGE man-crush on Justin Hartley. So, that might be part of it.

A key component of restaurant success is choosing a restaurant theme that will attract customers. A coherent theme can help your establishment stand out in customers' minds, turning your restaurant from a generic eatery into a specific destination eagerly sought out by diners. You should be able to sum up your restaurant theme in a few words that convey a single distinctive character expressed through menu, décor, service, and overall ambiance. Follow the basics of choosing a restaurant theme to find the theme that is the perfect fit for your establishment.
Balance bliss and demand If you are opening a restaurant, you probably have a style of food that is your passion and specialty. Since you will be investing enormous amounts of time and energy in your restaurant, you should incorporate what you enjoy; however, you need to make sure that demand exists for your concept and style of food. Shape a restaurant theme that balances local demand with your passion – while you may have in mind a hip hangout, if you are in a family-centric area, you may find more success employing a whole family approach. The first step is to determine your market:
Demographics What is your customer base? You need to know the details of the local population: their age groups, financial range, household size, ethnic background, and job types. Use a market research company, look up census data, or consult local realtors to find this information. Check more than just local resident data; an office complex, college, mall, or other draw in the area may supply your target audience. Use this information to determine the mechanics of your restaurant:
- Cost
- Type – casual, full-service, etc.
- Additional services (i.e. delivery, catering)
- Hours of operation
- Bar or liquor service
Competition What type of restaurant is successful in your area? Can you offer a better version of an in-demand specialty, or add a feature to create your own niche? Frequent local establishments to learn as much as you can about their menus, price range, and customer service style. Look for unmet demands you can fulfill.
Weigh cost and benefit You may be in an area with a large demand for pizza and notice a dearth of authentic wood fired pizza shops. Should you spend thousands of dollars for a wood fired oven? Determine your startup budget, and stick to it! It will take some time to build up business for your new restaurant; if your loan payment is too large, you may go under before you have a chance to establish yourself. Figure out a theme that fits your price range now, realizing you can elaborate and expand over time to add more expensive options as your business increases.
Incorporate food trends While you want to avoid flash-in-the-pan fads, where the market for a particular product will disappear after a short time, a careful examination of food trends can help you create a successful restaurant theme. The growing trend towards healthier, locally sourced food, for example, might lead you to offer vegetarian menu choices, low-fat options, and smaller portion sizes.
Tie it all together Incorporate all these elements to find your winning restaurant theme. For example, your love of Italian food, the proximity of two colleges, a local farmers' market, high local income range, and prevalence of Italian restaurants could lead you to open an organic Italian restaurant and pizzeria, serving craft beer and offering delivery. Keep your theme focused and easily expressed to create a distinctive impression with diners, and be willing to adjust your menu offerings and hours as you see what works in your area.
For the fullest expression of your chosen restaurant theme, turn to Pinnacle Hospitality Systems' powerful POSitouch POS. The many user-designed features of Pinnacle's POS for restaurants enables you to easily customize the system, while flexible menu and price functionality allows you to change items on the fly as you tailor your offerings for your specific market. If you choose to offer delivery, Pinnacle's POSitouch Delivery Service features a powerful database and order history to ensure deliveries are correct and on time.

|Allen County high school seniors receive Honda-Ohio Award
|Tuesday, November 26, 2013 9:34 PM
Information submitted
ALLEN COUNTY — Eleven high-achieving Allen County high school seniors received the Honda/OSU Math Medal Award from a partnership between Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc., and The Ohio State University. The award recognizes the top senior mathematics student in 230 high schools in southwest and central Ohio.
Math Medal winners from Allen County and their high schools are Nicholas Bockey, St. John's; Kenidi Ulm, Jefferson; Katherine Inskeep, Bath; Avinash Rajasekaran, Shawnee; Aaron Reed, Lima Senior; Wyatt Roberts, Perry; Aaron Runk, Allen East; Jaegar Schlumpberger, Lima Central Catholic; Anthony Siefker, Elida; Erin Stetler, Spencerville; and Stephen Tatarkov, Bluffton.
This is the 10th anniversary of the central region Math Medal Awards presented by the Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program, a university-industry partnership that supports programs in education and research to benefit the transportation industry. This year 134 seniors from 15 counties in central Ohio received the award.
Honorees attended the central region ceremony on Nov. 7 at Honda of America in Marysville. Recognized as their school's top math student in the Class of 2014, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda of America Manufacturing and Ohio State University's College of Engineering.
In addition, the math medal award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State's College of Engineering for the 2014-15 academic year. Over the past nine years, 110 Central Ohio region Math Medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship at Ohio State's College of Engineering.
"This prestigious honor recognizes students who excel in math and science, and serves as an indicator that an engineering career may suit them well," said David B. Williams, dean of Ohio State College of Engineering. "These are all outstanding students, who we hope will become Buckeye engineers."
The Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program is a unique collaboration between Ohio State and Honda of America Manufacturing that supports initiatives in education, research and public service to positively impact students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole.
Honda operates two auto plants and engine and transmission plants in Ohio, along with a major vehicle research and development center and engineering, logistics and purchasing operations in the state. With 16,000 associates—including more than 1,000 engineers—Honda of America Manufacturing is one of Ohio's largest private employers.
Ohio State's College of Engineering places 14th nationally among public university engineering programs ranked by U.S. News and World Report, and its more than 7,200 undergraduate students choose from 14 different engineering majors.

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
DoJ Claims Apple Implemented In-App Purchase Rules to 'Retaliate Against Amazon'
While the new proposal is largely the same as the original, it includes an expanded section on Apple's in-app purchasing policies along with the accusation that Apple initiated the rules specifically to "retaliate against Amazon for competitive conduct that Apple disapproved of" and to "make it more difficult for consumers using Apple devices to compare ebook prices among different retailers."
When Apple debuted App Store subscriptions back in 2011, it instituted a rule that prevented developers offering subscription and purchased content from including direct links to stores that would bypass the in-app purchase system. As a result, e-book retailers like Amazon and other digital media providers were forced to remove links to outside content.
Though Apple has argued that its App Store policies are unrelated to the e-books case, the Department of Justice disagrees and maintains that Apple should be forced to re-allow links to outside bookstores within apps. As part of its own argument, the DoJ points out that Apple does not receive a 30 percent cut for all goods sold through its App Store and likens digital e-books to physical goods.
During the August 9 conference, Apple's counsel argued that the provision should not be adopted because it was "absurd" to suggest that Apple had changed its apps policy to discriminate against e-book retailers.As evidence that Apple was conspiring to raise prices to punish Amazon, the Department of Justice submitted an email from Steve Jobs to Phil Schiller and Eddy Cue, which specifically mentions an Amazon Kindle commercial and suggests Apple force books, newspapers, and magazines to use Apple's "far superior payment system."
These statements are incorrect. Apple misrepresented the factual circumstances surrounding this matter, including how the App Store operated and operates. It simply is not true that Apple receives a 30 percent commission from all retailers for all goods sold through apps. To use Apple's counsel's own examples, one can buy shoes today on an iPad using a Zappos app.
Along with the new evidence, the DoJ continues to insist that e-book retailers should be allowed "costless hyperlinks" in their App Store apps for a two-year period.
Effectuating the provision requires Apple to make no change whatsoever to its iBookstore or App Store. However, returning to the pre-conspiracy policy will result in greater price transparency, and keep Apple from continuing to reap profits from its collusive behavior.The revised proposal also cuts the proposed injunction time against Apple in half, but continues to require the nullification of existing agency model deals and the implementation of a third party monitor to ensure Apple's continued adherence to internal antitrust compliance policies.
According to Bloomberg, Apple has objected to the revised government proposal, saying that an outside compliance monitor isn't necessary.

Seems if you purchase something to use on/within the iOS device, Apple takes a cut, but if it is something not related to an iOS device, Apple does not take a cut.
What if MS wants to take a cut of every iTunes purchase on Windows?

Exactly the same. By the way, Google ebooks can be read on other devices that are not an Android device

Wrong analogy
Well who can blame Apple? If Amazon is trying to steal or profit from their customers then I see no reason for Apple not to take action.
Amazon is trying to steal from their customers by charging people a lot less, and paying the author the difference between what they wanted and what Amazon is charging? Right... Apple isn't trying to profit from their customers.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

To be honest I was shocked to see Blake Sims playing #2 qb. Actually, I was shocked the guy did not transfer the same time as Phil Sims. Blake has some skills and he could start for a lot of 1-AA team. I don't think he is NFL materially, but he could play at the lower levels.
At any rate I was shocked to see Blake because logically I would think we would be trying to get Ely ready in case of an injury to AJ because Ely is a drop back passer as was JPW, GMac and AJ.
But, Blake appears to be #2. But why? Well I've got a theory which is just my hunch. It is a theory not based on anything I've read, but I think it could explain Blake Sims, Backup QB.
I think Blake must have run qb for the scout team in the Michigan game prep. I say that because Blake is the only qb at Bama with a similar skill set as DR. Furthermore I think in scout team duty, acting as DR, the coaches noticed Blake was pretty good at running the Mich. O especially the read option.
I think Blake was so good in fact that the coaches decided to insert a little read option in our play book with Blake running the qb spot. The Drake TD run came off a read option. I have not seen us run that sort of play in a long time.
Well obviously this is all my speculation. But we do now have that play in the current play book. So, what are we doing? Well, for one we just gave everyone one more thing to prep for while prepping for Bama. Secondly, I think Nussy is trying to come up with a plausible offense just in case AJ were to go down. Realistically without AJ, we cannot run the offense we are now running. Put Ely, put Sims, put Morris into our current offense and we have no offense. Our opponents will put 9 in the box and shut down Lacy, Yeldon and company. And none of those guys can throw it well enough from the pocket to make them back off the line.
But, with Blake Sims at qb, and instead of just business as usual, he is running a little read option, and even throwing some on the roll out, as well as running a few of our normal plays we just may be able to piece together an offense that can at least give us a chance against teams like UT and A&M. (I do fear that with no AJ we have no chance against LSU and probably no chance in the SECCG if we got there vs. a decent SC or UGA.)
So that is what I think is going on with Blake Sims at #2 qb. What do you think?

Chris Kelly will teach the free "Parenting for Prevention" class at Tutu's House on Thursday, Dec. 12, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. (COURTESY PHOTO)
Substance abuse among teenagers is a prevalent problem in most cities around the country because of the highly addictive qualities of illegal substances and the degree of peer pressure among teens. Hawaii is no exception.
One person hoping to change that is Hawaii Island resident, Chris Kelly. A recovering addict himself, Kelly hopes to prevent the suffering of addiction by informing, empowering, and enlightening young people and their families. On Thursday, Dec. 12, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Kelly will be offering a free class for parents at Tutu's House called "Parenting for Prevention."
Kelly explains that he doesn't tell adults how to parent their child, rather he offers practical information that parents need to talk to their teens about drug use.
"One of the key things is to build an alliance between the parent and the child," said Kelly. "One way to do that is for the parent to talk about when they have been worried about one of their own friends substance use and abuse. By role modeling a healthy, concerned adult who has love and compassion for someone who is having an addiction issue will many times make the kids feel safer to talk about their own concerns. Whereas if a parent goes the opposite way and asks their child, 'Do any of your peers get drunk or smoke weed,' then the child feels a need for secrecy and shuts down."
Kelly's workshop will cover the importance of keeping the lines of communication open between parents and teens and the different ways that parents can let their kids know that they are supportive if help is needed.
"I think the biggest mistake parents make is that the first time they talk to their kid about drugs and alcohol is after they've caught them using substances," said Kelly. "The best advice I can give a parent is to talk about substances early and often. And by early I mean starting with kids as young as 5 and 6 years old. Not that you need to talk about methamphetamines with 5 and 6 year olds, but talk about why mommy or daddy drinks coffee and doesn't serve it to their child, or why mom or dad might have wine or beer with dinner but the kids are drinking milk with dinner. Make it feel normal to talk about these issues so it's not all of a sudden when the kid is 16 you spring the drug talk on them. Instead it's been part of your family's dynamic for as long as they can remember."
Being a health educator who has personally experienced substance abuse, recovery, prevention, and intervention, Kelly feels it's important not to moralize or judge. By being willing to listen and hear young people's concerns, he believes they will be more likely to open up and listen to what he has to share with them. By listening, rather than telling young people what to do, it reduces the chance of encouraging rebellious behavior which teens often engage in to prove their autonomy.
Kelly also believes that people who become addicted often made poor decisions based upon misinformation and ignorance. He hopes to provide the community with the most up-to-date, science based information that will encourage healthy, sensible choices.
"We don't use scare tactics because the truth is scary enough," said Kelly. "My message to parents is, it's never too early and it's never too late to start talking with your children about tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. I'd like to encourage parents to look for the teachable moments where they feel it's appropriate to bring up something and to do that on a regular basis."
