Exclusive: "I've Been To A Lot Of Places Since Hooking Up W/ 50 Cent"
Wednesday, Feb 20, 2013 3:45PM
With 50 Cent releasing his new "We Up" anthem heading into the weekend, SOHH recently talked to G-Unit/Rida Gang's Kidd Kidd to find out how his life has changed since joining forces with Curtis Jackson last year.
For Kidd Kidd, the New Orleans native said the only thing which has been altered since linking with Fif is how many worldwide shows and venues he now gets exposed to.
"That's the only thing that has changed [since joining G-Unit/Rida Gang], I've seen the world a lot more, I've got to see the world a lot more and travel more. But other than that, I'm still in the studio all day, [laughs], still working hard, you gotta work hard. If you work for it, you deserve it," Kidd told SOHH when asked what has changed since officially joining G-Unit/Rida Gang last year. "Morocco was one of my favorite places I've seen. For one, I got to go to Africa and for another, it was just crazy. It was crazy. It was probably the biggest crowd that I've ever, ever stepped in front of. It was like 450,000 people, probably even more than that. Just seeing how crazy people were out there because it's like there's no rules out there. There's no rules, no red lights, it was crazy. I had the most fun out there. I had a home feeling, for some reason, I just felt that in Morocco." (SOHH)
Kidd also said the frequent global traveling has made New Orleans more of a vacation spot when he comes back home to see family.
"I've been to a lot of places since hooking up with 50. Outside of Morocco, I would have to say one of my favorite places has been Amsterdam," Kidd added. "I think I may have been born there. [laughs] Word. I record a lot of music on the road, I do a lot of new music on the road. I like to go back to New Orleans and really just be with the family. It's more like a vacation when I go back home. I'm kind of like on vacation because I'm gone so much. When I'm at home, I just try to enjoy every minute." (SOHH)
Heading into the weekend, 50's new "We Up" track bubbled across the Internet.
A few weeks ago, 50 Cent posted a preview of the video for "We Up," his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar and G-Unit signee Kidd Kidd. Perhaps because he didn't want the full black-and-white, tuxedo-heavy video to be overshadowed by a certain other clip with those elements that dropped this week, Fiddy today (February 15) premiered the full song, sans video. (Idolator)
While Kidd Kidd prepares for his G-Unit/Rida Gang solo debut, 50 is placing the final touches on his delayed Street King Immortal LP.
On Wednesday, the "I Get Money" MC revealed to MTV News that Street King won't be out on February 26 and is now slated for a spring release, citing internal changes at Interscope Records as the reason. "Actually it's the system," he said. "It's a lot of adjustments being made there, obviously Christmas I think 35 people got let go." In the past, Fif has really taken Interscope to task when it came to delays and leakage of his music. This time, however, he seems to be understanding of the situation and exercising a great deal of patience. "It's a shift in who's responsibilities are what, so as fast as they get it together," he said. "I'm confident they'll put it together though, so it'll be out." (MTV)

Hi Everyone,
Longtime reader/lurker, first time poster. I am not sure of the protocol and all that but I have grown to love BTSC and once in a while I might have something to share. If it isn't any good or appropriate or whatever, then a mod can delete it, but hopefully my thoughts will strike a chord with like-minded Steelers Fans and we can have some fun.
I have entitled this thread "Arrogant Steelers Fans" because it is a phrase I hear a LOT and I am not sure why. Let me explain what I am talking about. My career takes me all around this country (and sometimes outside of it) travelling to one client or another and I am never not wearing something Black-and-Gold. Cleveland, Cincy, Baltimre (Sorry, there is just no "O" there) it doesn't matter. I wear the colors proudly as I am sure everyone else here does. Since I live in a very small town in Western PA, some of my flights are fairly convoluted. It's the price I pay for never having to lock my doors. A couple weeks ago, I had a job in Jacksonburgh, FL. I saw more Black-and-Gold than whatever those colors are that the Jags wear down there, BTW. Anyway, on the way home I had the pleasure of being on a flight from Dulles (DC) to Philly operated by - of all airlines - Wisconsin Air. The lone flight attendant had his airline ID on a Green Bay Packers lanyard. I of course was wearing on3 of the 50 or so Steelers shirts that I own. Since I was in the second row of this regional airliner, he noticed me right away and after a few minutes engaged me in conversation. It went something like this:
Flight Attendant: Sir, I couldn't help but notice that you are wearing a Steelers shirt.
Me: Yep, I'm a fan.
FA: The Packers played the Steelers recently didn't they?
Me: Yep, they sure did.
FA: How did that work out for them? I think the Packers won, right?
Me: Yeah they did. They played great, and we definitely didn't bring our "A" game. Still made it exciting at the end, though didn't we?
This went on for a while with him needling me and me trying to be as polite as I could until I had had enough. So the next bit of conversation went like this:
Me: "Sir, your team won the Super Bowl, congratulations. But until they win a couple more championships, don't bother me with it.
FA: Just as I suspected, an arrogant Steelers fan! Go figure!
Me: I'll have a tomato juice.
This got me thinking. How was I being arrogant? I was polite while a fan of another team talked all kinds of smack on my team. As long as he had the upper hand, everything was fine. As soon as I smacked back, I am arrogant? This doesn't make sense. Then it hit me. There are some rules that people need to be made aware of. They came to me as if a gift from Heaven (much like being a Steelers fan) and I started letting this gentleman know just exactly where the bear craps in the buckwheat.
1) Steelers fans rarely start things. We proudly wear the colors and will talk football with anybody. Usually we are in enemy territory and so we keep our mouths shut until provoked (or we've had too much liquid courage). It should be known that this does not apply on game day. On Game Day, ALL BETS ARE OFF. We will support our team at the top of our lungs and hopefully other fans are doing likewise, Why be a fan if you aren't going to - you know - be a fan?
2) Once approached, other fans need to know that they are immediately - by definition, being a fan of any other team - at a disadvantage. The Steelers have more history, championships, wins, class, mystique, fans, tangibles, intangibles (you get where i am going with this, right?) than ANY OTHER TEAM ON THE PLANET! PERIOD! If you want to start something, a Steelers fan can finish it very quickly. All other fans are bringing a knife to a gun fight. Some other teams' fans may have larger knives, but the Steelers have given us more to draw on. That's just the way it is. It isn't my fault, it is my birthright.
3) This does NOT make me arrogant. These are just facts. Just because my team has been, is, and always will be BETTER than someone else's team and this is a fact that is indisputable, it doesn't make me arrogant. Spoiled? Yes. Arrogant? No. The sky is blue; the grass is green; and the Steelers are better than your team. The dictionary says that arrogance is defined by making "claims" and "assumptions" of superiority. These however, are facts. Having facts on your side doesn't make you arrogant. It just makes you a Steelers fan.
Does this make sense to anybody else? Are you smelling what I am stepping in?
Just this last Friday. Sadly a couple days BEFORE the Jags/Ravens MNF game I was driving with my family (Wife and two sons still living at home) to visit my oldest son and his family (HUGE Steelers fans, of course) in North Carolina. We stopped for gas at a station in VA. While my youngest son and I were at the pump and my wife and middle son were in the store getting some snacks I noticed a guy peaking around the pump at me. Of course, we are all wearing some sort of Steelers gear and my wife's SUV has her Pink Steelers Cancer Awareness\Survivor magnetic ribbon on the back, so there is little doubt which pro football team we support. Here is what happened next:
Me: Can I help you, man?
Douchebag Ravens Fan: Do yourself a favor a don't let your kid grow up a Steelers fan. (Nice bringing my son into it with the very first words out of his mouth!)
Me: (Chuckling and SMH) I love my son dearly, bro. Of course I will raise him a Steelers fan.
DRF: Remind me what happened week 1?
Me: The Ravens beat the Steelers pretty bad. You guys played great.
DRF: More like crushed them!
This goes on for a bit and then finally.
DRF: We are leading the division!
Me: True, but you know, it's not where you start it's where you finish.
DRF: You just remember what happened week 1? What happened, again?
Me: What happened the last time it mattered? How did the playoffs go for you? How about the time it mattered before that? How about ANY time it really mattered against the Steelers? Stop bothering me with this stuff, you're wasting my time.
DRF: <expletive> Arrogant Steelers fan. The <expletive> Steelers Suck!
Me: <sigh> stay classy Baltimre! Have a good day!
On another occasion after flying into Boston the Monday AFTER losing to the Pats in 2004 AFCCG, I got on the HERTZ bus. I am a Gold member, so the driver asked me for my name to put into his hand-held computer. I told him and then he noticed my shirt.
Bus Driver: How's YOUR team doing? (Yep first thing he says to me after asking my name!)
Me: Really? Shouldn't you be taking me to my car? It was very late and I was tired. A little rude, but still not arrogant.
So I guess the point I am trying to make is that I for one am tired of being called arrogant. It simply isn't true. Proud? Yes. Spoiled? Most certainly. Die-Hard? Check. But arrogant? No.
As I have already said, Steelers fans RARELY start things. BUT...don't call us arrogant just because we know how to finish them!
What do yinz guys think? I am alone in this?

Let's go ahead and do some minor things to get this team going. I think it would be a great idea to take a flier on Allen Iverson. If he can get you 5 points per game off of the bench and create his own offense when our bench guys look stagnent and just run around setting unnecessary picks?
Another thing is the Starting 5. Please let Greg Stiemsma aka Greg Steamer get a chance to start. Jermaine would be much more effective coming off of the bench and even potentially closing games out, if he is having a good night. GS would provide much more youth, shot blocking, athleticism and one could argue, rebounding. I would personally like to see us trade Jermaine for someone like a Brandon Wright.
I think we should try and do what ever we can to get Lamar Odom. I think he would thrive in Green working with KG, P2, RR, Ray and all the other guys. Lamar wants to be a part of a team with a "brotherhood mentality." I think the Mavs would heavily consider a package surround Jermaine O'neal and maybe Brandon Bass. I strongly disagree with the notion to trade any of our draft picks this year. This upcoming draft is very strong and I believe we are going to get some tremendous value in the next 6 months or so.
Does Dallas do Lamar Odom and 2nd round pick 2012 for Jermaine O'neal and Brandon Bass?

Sheri Kopka
Kopka's winning project, "Building Teams in the Trees," is designed to get students out into nature and become physically active. Mercer is Wisconsin's smallest public school with a kindergarten through 12th-grade population. Many of the school's students receive free or reduced lunch and come from economically disadvantaged homes. This project affords physics students an opportunity to design and create a challenge obstacle course on campus. While learning the different concepts of physics, students will design obstacles such as rope, rock and log challenges that will be used in team building activities. Students will incorporate the laws of physics and the use of technology to complete the project. This real-world application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) will help students gain a better understanding of the physics concepts they are learning. Kopka also hopes that as students work together in teams to complete the course challenges, they will foster respect for one another which will, in turn, decrease bullying and violence on campus. Kopka resides in Butternut.

Editor:John W. Dennis, Jr., Esquire
In an action to prevent relocation filed more than thirty days after notice by certified mail, the deficiencies and inaccuracies in the notice preclude obligation of non-relocating party to file objection within thirty days. Allen v. Gatewood, No. 74799 (Mo. App. W.D., January 22, 2013), Hardwick, J.
Mother and Father had joint legal and physical custody pursuant to a judgment entered in 2009. The Mother sent Father a letter by certified mail in 2011, purporting to put him on notice of her intent to move to a new residence 27 miles away. The address provided and her stated reasons for the move were inaccurate.
The Father sought out the intended address to no avail. Then he found the correct address by coming upon the motor vehicle of Mother's current spouse. The residence was much different than it had been described in the notice of intent to relocate.
The Mother went ahead and moved less than 60 days after providing notice and she enrolled their child in school without Father's knowledge or permission.
The Father filed his objection to the relocation more than thirty days after receipt of the notice. The Mother's motion for summary dismissal of the objection was denied. A trial ensued, and the Father's motion to prevent relocation was granted. The Mother appealed.
Held: Affirmed. "Mother cannot claim an absolute right to relocate child under § 452.377.7 without first demonstrating her strict compliance with the notice requirements of § 452.377.2. Abraham v. Abraham, 352 S.W. 3d 617, 221 (Mo. App. 2011)."
It is interesting to note that the court stated that even assuming that the Mother was unaware of the accurate address of the new residence at the time of notification, once she discovered the correct address, "she had a continuing obligation under § 452.377.3 to correct the information provided in her relocation notice."
The Mother had the burden to prove that the intended move is made in good faith and is in the best interests of the child. The court noted that a review of the evidence indicated that the move would materially affect the child's time with the Father. Moreover, the actions of the Mother were taken without involving the Father in the joint legal custody as to educational decisions.

Reading Hospital opens Child Development Center to more children
The Reading Hospital has open enrollment in its Child Development Center to pre-schoolers whose parents are not employed by Reading Health System.
The center, located in the hospital's "S Building" on Chestnut Street in West Reading, offers an age-specific curriculum with daily art, music, story time, pre-reading and pre-math activities, as well as daily outdoor time in age-appropriate playgrounds, officials said.
The center, established in 1981, is divided into three schools -- forest, ocean and desert -- each with six classrooms to accommodate children from infant to preschoolers. Such an approach, officials said, enables children to progress with their same classmates and develop a sense of community with children of other ages in that school.
The center is open weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Anyone interested in enrolling a child can contact the Child Development Center for more information at 484-628-5140.

My God, this off season has revealed a plethora of videos showing the absolute worst our species has to offer. From the inane to the eyeball bleeding, it is time we must come to a consensus on who reigns supreme on the altar of humiliation. The videos and a brief description are after the jump.
As this fanpost was sparked by the...thing...that is Notre Dame's prep video, I think this is a good place to start.
Every time I see it, it gets worse. Perhaps the worst part about it is the justification by the creator of the video. Faculty Member, Ted Mandell, stated this:
The video screened at the O.S.C.A.R.S. Wednesday April 28. The student athletes loved it. Fresh, funky….different.
It's not a recruiting tool. Not a contrived, underground marketing attempt to make ND look hip. Just a fun video shown at a student athlete banquet.
It's freekin' Freekbass.
It almost implies a "Need I say more?" tone. Well, Ted. Yes. You have a lot to answer for on this one.
It's like an infinite loop of absolute shit. It can only be broken by one thing. Another embarrassing moment.
Ah yes, the proud tradition of the Nittany Lions. The home of the coach with the most wins in college football. Penn State has a proud tradition stretching back decades. Of course, this history means fairly little to tailgating fans as they decide to show off their singing chops to "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus.
You can say what you want about them being "drunk" and not knowing any better. The fact they begin to coordinate to the song past the :35 second mark makes me thing there's no excuse that's suitable to forgive this display. You may notice that in the break down you can hear more voices than the people on the tailgate. This implicates more people, off camera, partaking in this "activity." Further, at :49 seconds, you can tell that guy knows he's fucked. JoPa would be turning in his grave if his automatronic heart had not been implanted successfully making him more machine than man now, twisted and evil.
Of course, the first two, while embarrassing to fans of both schools as fans of those schools took direct part in those videos, this last one can be placed purely on the ownership of the Marlins and the creator of a song written for the Marlins by Creed's own Scott Stapp. There are a lot of feelings music lovers associate with the name Scott Stapp and Creed. Namely, disgust. As Scott Stapp would say disguhuughughughughuuuuust. Keep in mind, this can not be unheard.
So who takes this one down?
You may submit videos of embarrassing displays as well. The criteria are as follows:
1. It is directly affiliated with the organization it supports
2. It is the action of more than 15 fans partaking in behavior that makes your soul die a little.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – During a cold winter, many choose to stay inside and keep warm.
But Saturday, families grabbed their skis and took to the slopes at Mt. La Crosse for the YMCA Family Ski Day.
More than 100 members from the La Crosse and Onalaska Y's participated.
Many took in ski lessons and all went down the runs at a discounted price.
Organizers said it's a way for families to stay active this winter.
"Family is important to the Y and (it's about) being able to enjoy each other's company while being active together and healthy," said Beth O'Bryan, family coordinator for the YMCA-La Crosse.
Families could even have lunch together at the ski hill. All lift tickets today included a free hot dog meal.

News: Diddy's Bad Boy Protégé Thrown In Las Vegas Jail, Hits Include Extortion & Battery
Monday, Mar 25, 2013 9:03AM
Former Bad Boy Records artist Chopper Young City reportedly suffered the wrath of law enforcement last week, being thrown behind bars after a fugitive warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to reports, the New Orleans hip-hop artist's September 2012 crimes finally caught up to him while out in Las Vegas.
Barnes, 28, who was known as "Chopper Young City" during his glint of fame appearing on the MTV show "Making the Band 2," was busted for simple battery, unauthorized use of a movable and extortion, from a pair of alleged crimes last September, New Orleans police say. Details on those crimes were not immediately available. The allegations of extortion and unauthorized use of a vehicle stem from an incident Sept. 6. The simple battery allegation is from a separate incident on Sept. 22, police say. Barnes was arrested just after midnight Tuesday morning at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, around a shopping center called Town Square. (NOLA)
A fight is what reportedly led to Chopper having police sent his way.
According to Las Vegas police, Barnes was stopped after a report of a fight just after midnight. Barnes faces no charges in Las Vegas, but is being held on a fugitive warrant from Louisiana, a police spokeswoman said. Las Vegas police say they alerted New Orleans police before arresting Barnes. Yet neither NOPD nor District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office has made a move to bring him home. Officer Garry Flot, an NOPD spokesman, said it was the district attorney's decision on whether to extradite. Assistant District Attorney Christopher Bowman, a spokesman for Cannizzaro's office, said late Friday that the first they learned of Barnes' arrest, or the warrant, was from a NOLA.com | Times-Picayune reporter. (NOLA)
Despite being arrested last week, his latest tweet dates back to Saturday (March 23).
"Live & learn," he tweeted March 23rd. (Chopper Young City's Twitter)
Back in 2010, Chopper offered his take on Bad Boy CEO Diddy's short-lived Dirty Money group.
"I'm not a fan," he said in an interview. "I would never do something like that. But I'd do a song with Diddy...I respect [Diddy's] hustler savvy. Music-wise, you and I know that 90 percent of Diddy's music is wack. The only reason people respect Diddy is because of his hustle. So no matter what he put out you're just like 'Look at this old hustling motherf*cker.' You don't even think about the music. Being in a group with two girls... all that sh*t's weird. I don't like it. What's that one song called [groans 'Angels']? That song made my ears explode. I swear to God. I'm no more good when I hear that song. Who the f*ck gave him this money?" (VIBE)

February 12, 2014: Watch the incredible moment a man diving off the coast of Mozambique suddenly encounters a school of peaceful hammerhead sharks.
A diver off the coast of Madagascar swam through the encounter of a lifetime when a large swarm of hammerhead sharks surrounded him in an eerily peaceful display of natural wonder.
The oddly calm confrontation between man and fish happened around a reef in the warm, calm waters of the Mozambique Channel.
After diving through large schools of fish and pods of friendly dolphins, the unnamed diver headed to a reef a few kilometres off shore called Pinncale — a spot known for its awesome shark encounters.
As the diver drifted toward the back of the reef the diver was startled by the arrival of a small school of hammerhead sharks swimming out of the blue.
The small school quickly swelled into a hundred, swimming around him like he was not even there.
"They were so relaxed with which was great because this made me relaxed," the diver said.
"And in the end this meant we could spend more time together."
The sharks were scalloped hammerhead sharks, globally listed as endangered because they are often poached for their fins.
The marvellous encounter with the usually harmless hammerheads would have at first been a terrifying experience for the diver and a sight increasingly less likely to be seen again.

Analysts everywhere expect a whole lot of thunder between the physical San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Both teams feature bruising running backs in the Seahawks Marshawn Lynch and the 49ers Frank Gore. Both feature big, physical skill players and hard hitting defenses. Heck, even the quarterbacks run the ball with great success for these teams.
In anticipation of the brutal match-up, ticket prices have reached a league-wide high at CenturyLink Field for week 2. Seattle fans, and I'm assuming a few 49ers fans, have been paying an average of $546 a ticket. Yikes.
As reported on Saturday, the sellout crowd will be attempting to break the noise record at an outdoor sporting event, even going so far as to have a Guinness World Record official on hand to judge the attempts.
It turns out that's not all the thunder that might be at this game. The National Weather Service in the Seattle area is predicting thunderstorms and possibly lightning throughout the evening. There could be some delays, and it could be a wet, wild contest in the Northwest.
Two teams that are already prepared to hit each other in the mouth might be forced to on Sunday if the storms are bad enough. Slick balls and wet conditions lead to more rushing traditionally – get ready for the thunder indeed.

Politics and the CCC-BOS
Original post made by Hal on Nov 27, 2010
I received an informational feature from corridor news service researchers this morning outlining the political discord among supervisors related to nepotism and sources & uses of funds. The research provided information on the actual issues and the resulting political conflict among county supervisors.
The issue of nepotism relates to Ms. Piepho's desire to appoint her husband to an east county cemetery district so he can retain his CC LAFCO seat and benefit Piepho supporters among developers and builders.
The issue of sources & uses of funds relates to Ms. Piepho's use of Keller Canyon mitigation funds to sponsor a Discovery Bay celebration of obtaining its own ZIP code. It is more an issue because Ms. Piepho has publicly claimed Mr. Glover had approved all of the uses and misuses of the Keller Canyon fund.
Tuesday's meeting was illustration of the discord and the BANG editorial summarized the growing disconnect between supervisors. News service information further illustrated that it is very political with the local democratic party staging a standing ovation for Susan Bonilla. What we are seeing now is the start of the 2012 campaigns and potentially two years of gridlock among supervisors.
Let's ask your readers to consider the issues of the next two years in Contra Costa County and express what actions CCC-BOS should take as part of their "non-partisan" positions as supervisors.
on Nov 27, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Bring accountability back. As strange as this may sound, eliminate the rubber stamp that supervisors use when deciding issues in other supervisors districts. That rubber stamp has put too much power in the hands of easily corrupted individuals.
on Nov 28, 2010 at 2:43 pm
The Political unrest in District III is the direct result of incompetent and corrupt leadership. 2012 campaigns will unfold with blame on others to misdirect attention from the real problem. The voters will need to abolish corruption via the cast of ballots to maintain an orderly recovery from nepotism. It will be time to change these last years of inequities to positive community unification.

I totally agree with the editorial in the CC Times excoriating Mary and David Piepho for their shameless effort at manipulating the system for their gain in a most unethical manner. These two are out for themselves and themselves only, I will relish the chance to support a campaign against Mary Piepho when the time comes.

Weather and bad roads kept school buses off the road for a second consecutive day Thursday in the Chignecto-Central regional school board area.
But it's still not certain if the buses will be idled again on Monday.
"We're having a (ratification) vote on Sunday," said Ron Davis, president of Local 3890 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents 420 bus drivers, custodians and tradespeople who work for the board.
The union is in a strike position, but will hold another ratification because the bargaining language was changed somewhat after a marathon session between the board and the union on last Friday. The union had agreed at that time to binding arbitration to settle the outstanding issue of contracting out.
The board, at an emergency meeting on Tuesday night, rejected the offer to move to binding arbitration.
The board covers Pictou, Cumberland and Colchester counties, along with the Municipality of East Hants. Votes will be held in each area on Sunday. Members will cast ballots starting at 10 a.m. at Northumberland Regional High in Westville, 1 p.m. at Onslow Elementary, and 4 p.m. at E.B. Chandler Junior High in Amherst.
If the latest offer is rejected in Sunday's vote, Davis said the union members will be setting up pickets at schools and the board office in Truro on Monday morning.
"That's the plan," he said.
Meanwhile, Lenore Zann is asking the government to ensure a plan is in place to deal with a potential strike. The MLA for Truro-Bible Hill-Millbrook-Salmon River wants clarification about transportation issues if buses are not running. And next week is exam time in all high schools covered by the board.
"Will there be extended drop-off and pickup hours for elementary and junior high students," Zann said in a release. "Will there be make-up dates for high-school students writing exams? What contingency plans will be in place for students who take the bus to school every day? These are all questions that need to be answered this week."
The board said in a release on Tuesday that should a strike be imminent, steps will be taken to inform students, parents and guardians about plans for managing schools throughout a strike action.

The Staple Singers were a United States gospel, soul, and R&B singing group featuring three daughters & their father, Pops Staples, the patriarch of the family, who formed the Chicago based group in 1951. They signed with United Records, then Vee-Jay, Riverside, Epic and, eventually, the black-owned indie Stax Records label where they hit their most fertile commercial peak in the early 1970's. In 1967, on Columbia subsidiary Epic the Staple Singers first began moving into mainstream pop markets with "Why (Am I Treated So Bad)" and "For What It's Worth" (written by Stephen Stills[/track]).

The United Veterans Council of Woonsocket will have a brief ceremony at World War II Memorial Park Sunday, and locals can enjoy a more elaborate celebration Monday courtesy of the Museum of Work and Culture.
Veterans Agent Ernest Boisvert said Sunday's ceremony will take place near the canons and monument in the park at 11 a.m., with a speech from him and remarks from a minister from the Assemly of God church. Boisvert has invited local veterans groups to attend.
A more involved celebration of Veterans Day will be held at the museum, 42 South Main St., at 10 a.m. Monday. The annual celebration's theme this year is the War of 1812, said Romeo Berthiaume, a volunteer at the museum.
The ceremony will feature a performance by the Woonsocket High School JROTC. "They do a very impressive flag folding ceremony," Berthiaume said. Dave Richards, owner of WOON, will narrate it, Berthiaume said.
The morning will also feature a reading of the song "Taps", which has lyrics - a fact few people know, Berthiaume said. Another fact: "Many don't realize it was written during the Civil War," he said. Jeff Gamache of WNRI will do the reading.
In keeping with the theme, the ceremony will also honor Rhode Islander (South Kingstown) Oliver Hazard Perry, aka, the "Hero of Lake Erie" for leading the victory at the Battle of Lake Erie. There are statues of him in Washington DC and in Eisenhower Park in Newport. He's famous for the quote, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."
Woonsocket has an interesting connection to the War of 1812, America's last war with Great Britain, Berthiaume said. During the war, the country's trade with Britain and most of Europe drew to a halt.
The industrial revolution, already in its infancy thanks to Samuel Slater in Pawtucket, got a big boost since the lack of trade from overseas meant Americans had to make their own goods. A certain village called Woonsocket started to bustle during that time.
When the war was won, "We had learned to manufacture our own goods," Berthiaume.
Berthiaume said the weather Monday is supposed to be a balmy 70 degrees, so he expects a good crowd.
Richard Schatz, President of the United Veterans Council of Woonsocket and Boisvert will attend, and all the city's veterans are invited. So are you.

Wags on Venters: "he's just phenomenal."
Superb feature story by Carroll Rogers on our second best rookie and his unbelievable sinker. More from Wags: "There's never been anybody in the game that's had a left-handed sinker like that. I mean nobody," And Bobby Cox also seems pretty impressed, saying he's never seen such a pitch from a left-hander in 50 years in professional baseball.

South African killings sadden NWU
THE National Workers Union (NWU) has added its voice to the list of organisations expressing shock at the killing of 34 protesting miners at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, South Africa.
They were killed on August 16, when members of the South African Police Service opened fire at protestors armed with machetes, sticks and rocks.
The miners, who had been off the job for weeks, were demanding higher wages.
The following day, South African president Jacob Zuma announced that he would establish a commission of enquiry into the circumstances that led to the killings.
NWU President Vincent Morisson said that his organisation is deeply saddened by the killings, which according to him, bore similarities to atrocities carried out during that country's era of apartheid.
He expressed dismay that the South African Government was unable to use mediation to broker a settlement in the dispute between the miners and their employer. Morrisson said he has contacted the South African confederation of trade unions, through which a letter from the NWU will be sent to the union representing the striking miners.
Making comparisons to Jamaica, the NWU president asserted that the labour relations climate in the island has improved significantly, and made reference to the role of trade unions in reducing violence, such as the recent incident in South Africa, and the 1938 riots in Frome, Westmoreland where police opened fire on protesting workers, killing four and injurying nine.
Meanwhile, international lobby group Human Rights Watch yesterday called on the South African Government to ensure that the commission of enquiry into the killings of the Lonmin miners is independent, impartial, and investigates the underlying circumstances that led to the killings.
The body argued that the enquiry should not be limited to whether the use of lethal force by police was lawful.

We are still processing through the details that were announced today by Major League Baseball and are also trying to secure an interview with someone that can help us go over the details as it affects the Rays. The reactions on Twitter from the different baseball pundits however, is not positive. The groupthink particularly does not like how the amateurs and the international league signees are now being heavily restricted to the point it could potentially encourage the better athletes to choose another sport. Some of the immediate details:
- 26 man rosters during some double-headers
- No more major league contract offers to draftees
- Competitive balance lottery that gives small-market teams extra selections in the draft
- Draft tax to discourage teams from overspending in the draft
- Luxury tax on international signees
- Social media policy now in place

WPS helps local communities because we believe "It's Worth the Energy." When we share our time, knowledge and resources, we help sustain our communities and enrich our neighbors' lives. Here are some examples.
- Helping Boy Scouts "Be Prepared" Since 1952
- Inspiring The Future At Franklin Middle School
- Distributing Homes For Wood Ducks
- Challenging The Community
Helping Boy Scouts "Be Prepared" Since 1952
Every year, WPS offers Electricity Merit Badge Clinics. The clinics are popular, because it's hard to earn the Electricity Merit Badge without proper guidance and instruction. Several weeks before the clinics, kits and materials introduce the scouts to the topic of electricity. The scouts are asked to make five things at home, such as a simple electromagnet, and they're asked to conduct an electric safety inspection in their home.
During the clinic, line electricians, engineers and other WPS volunteers help the scouts learn:
- How to read an electric meter and calculate a bill
- How to draw floor plans of a typical house showing various electrical symbols,
- Why a fuse blows and how to safely change one,
- What happens when you overload a household circuit,
- How to rescue a person in contact with a live wire in the home
- How to administer proper first-aid treatment
Over the last 60 years, WPS has helped more than 6,000 Boy Scouts earn their Electricity Merit Badge.
Inspiring The Future At Franklin Middle School
WPS and Franklin Middle School, in Green Bay, have partnered together for students for more than 20 years. It's one of the longest-lasting business-education partnerships in the Greater Green Bay Area.
WPS employees share their experience of work and education with Franklin's diverse student body of 765 students, more than half qualifying for low-income assistance.
Franklin students visit WPS, where they job-shadow employees for a day. Employees go to the school to teach special classes, including "Why Math Is Important, "Geography Days" and "The Economics of Staying in School."
And for a few weeks each spring, Franklin students' artwork is displayed in the WPS lunchroom. The exhibit is celebrated with a reception for students and parents. And several pieces of art are chosen to be framed and hung in the WPS offices until the next year.
The Franklin Middle School art show began because WPS and the school believed it was important to showcase the students' art outside the school building.
Linda Jaworski-Pecht, the art teacher behind the art show since it began, explains the art show offers students "a way to see their art through the eyes of someone besides their parents and teachers."
"It gives them a special environment for their art, because they get to leave the school campus and see their art in a professional way."
Distributing Homes For Wood Ducks
Each spring, WPS distributes hundreds of wood duck houses throughout north-central Wisconsin. Environmentally focused residents donate $10 to Ducks Unlimited, and in exchange receive a wood duck house and can sign up a child for free for the Ducks Unlimited Greenwing program.
WPS partners with Ducks Unlimited and McNaughton Correctional Facility, which builds the wood duck houses. The aim is to provide homes for wood ducks and to keep kids involved in the great outdoors.
Challenging The Community
The WPS Energy Challenge is a grant opportunity for non-profit community groups. WPS challenges local groups to complete three tasks in energy efficiency and weatherization. Participating groups install 10 weatherization kits (provided by WPS) in community members' homes. They also attempt to decrease their energy use and secure new enrollments for e-Bill or Budget Billing programs.
Groups that complete the challenge are awarded a $1,000 grant. The five groups that save the most energy are each awarded a $1,500 grant. Participating organizations find that along with the decrease in energy use, a substantial increase in energy awareness was realized as minor lifestyle changes by each individual resulted in cumulative energy saving totals.

Coach Richt Suspends 3 Running Backs for this Sat (I'm not joking)
Junior Carlton Thomas, freshman Isaiah Crowell, and redshirt freshman Ken Malcome will serve one-game suspensions on Saturday for violation of team rules. Edit: Coach Richt said he sat Crowell two weeks ago, because he "loves him." And he let Ealey go preason. So Coach Richt really LOVES him some running backs! Edit 2 ESPN is reporting a "source" that says there were failed drug tests. No dates or sources given. I don't give this story strong credibility without any hard data, but wanted to share the link as word will filter out anyhow. FYI - failed drug tests could be anything - make no assumptions, and again, this isn't an official release from UGA. Edit 3 "People who make comments who don't know probably shouldn't quite frankly because they don't know," Richt said. "I'd be able to prove 100 percent that they're wrong, but I'm not going to spend the time doing that. The bottom line is we have rules and we follow them to the T. We've got the utmost integrity in how we go about our business. That's how we've tried to build this program since the day I got here and we're not going to change for any reason." - Wednesday morning's SEC coaches media teleconference.

According to study results, published in the June 2008 Arthritis Care and Research, rheumatoid arthritis patients who were treated with methotrexate were found to have a 50% increased risk of developing any form of cancer. The risk of non-Hodgkins lymphoma was more than 5 times greater in rheumatoid arthritis patients than in the general population. Rheumatoid arthritis patients also were found to have triple the risk of lung cancer and triple the risk of melanoma.
The findings for non-Hodgkins lymphoma and lung cancer agreed with findings from other previous related studies. However, this was thought to be the first study that reported an increased risk of melanoma in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with methotrexate when compared to the general population. Researchers need to further study whether the findings are unique to Australia and its environmental factors. If further studies confirm a risk of melanoma with methotrexate use, perhaps skin cancer screenings (especially for rheumatoid arthritis patients taking disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs like methotrexate) will become an important consideration. According to rheumatologist Scott J. Zashin MD, "Because the rheumatoid arthritis patients were on methotrexate, one does not know if the increased risk was due to rheumatoid arthritis or that the patients were on methotrexate. There are signals that indicate an increased risk of melanoma exists with the TNF blockers (Enbrel, Remicade, and Humira). Hopefully more research will clarify that. Until then, it is good idea for rheumatoid arthritis patients to get a regular skin exam."
In addition to treating rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate is a treatment option for other conditions including:
The medicine is available as an injectable solution or as oral tablets. Methotrexate injection is given under the skin (subcutaneously). Oral methotrexate is available in 2.5 mg tablets. It's important to remember that the drug is administered once a week for arthritis. The medicine is not taken daily like most medications.

As a person practicing in the field of Rheumatology I find it unprofessional that you would refer to a study without providing a citation. Thanks to this blog my patients are asking to discontiue their methotrexate and put their treatment into jeopardy. Any study that only examines 459 people has poor quality control and oftentimes reports skewed results!! Please think twice before scaring my patients without all the proper information.
- August 6, 2008 at 5:05 am(2) Carol says:
There was a citation listed …published in the June 2008 Arthritis Care and Research. Also, Dr. Zashin's comment suggested the need for more research. No matter what the news story or study results, patients should not get geared up about discontinuing a treatment without talking to their own doctor.
- August 6, 2008 at 5:55 pm(3) Jeanne says:
FYI, I've been on methotrexate for many years,
10-12, and I just recently was diagnosed with my first melanoma. This happened right around the time that the news came out about the study done in Australia. My first reaction was to stop the methotrexate, plus my RA Dr. stopped my Remicade. Not sure what I will try next, but getting the diagnosis of melanoma surely gave me reason to suspect my use of Methotrexate.
- March 13, 2012 at 4:30 pm(4) Christine,UK says:
My mother died of Adenocarcinoma of the lung with metastasis to the liver 3 years ago. She had been a smoker (5 a day) until she was around 60 years of age and then gave up and was a non smoker up to hear death at 83 years. She was diagnose with Rheumatoid Arthritis also at around 60 years. As the disease became more difficult to control her consultant recommended taking Methotrexate. It would be fair to say that the drug controlled the condition for the six years leading up to my mother's death.
It was suggested at first that the Adenocarcinoma developed due to smoking in earlier years but it should also be noted that this type of cancer is more common in women and non smokers, and in my mother's case the tumour that covered a sixth of her lung when she died was estimated to have started six years before her death at exactly the time when the Methotrexate was initiated.
Coincidental or not, further research is needed as patients and their families are not always fully aware of the implications of using this drug.
- May 16, 2013 at 1:17 pm(5) Chrissy says:
My husband took this medication 11 years ago when he hurt his back. For some reason the consultant thought it would help as he believed he had arthritis, he was 44 years old and never had any indication of arthritis previous to hurting his back.
He became so ill, white, weak and unwell whilst taking this that he stopped it after about 3 – 4 weeks. After this he developed hypothyroidism, poor responses to flu like illnesses, fibromyalgia and various other issues, such as sore eyes, sensitivity to cold and depression.
He recently was diagnosed with cancer of the throat and neck, and following a 7 hour op, an extremely competent and skilled surgeon removed all the tumours.
I strongly believe this was triggered by the methotreaxate. I have no qualms, as in the comment further up, in noting this as a significant factor in my husband's illness and feel other's should be aware.
- August 13, 2013 at 5:05 pm(6) olinlowes says:
Was only on low doses of methotrexate (10 mg week for 4 months) along with 10 mg of prednisone for autoimmune urticaria (hives). After reading the warning labels, I was always suspicious. Two weeks ago, my dermatologist did a biopsy of a flair on my neck. We were actually looking to rule out vasicular urticaria when he did the biopsy. Today, he called me and told me it was skin cancer. I was so upset that I didn't ask what type it was (he did mention that it was a slow growing type). I have an appointment with him tomorrow and I'll definately ask what kind. BTW, I stopped the methotrexate and will be scheduling my next appointment at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
- February 23, 2014 at 9:09 pm(7) Ruben says:
i'm not a professional or anything, I'm just a student. But doesn't Methotrexate inhibit the enzyme DHFR (Dihydrofolate Reductase) which is needed for cancer cells to actually divide in the first place?

Sharon Brown said she ordered takeout from a Shreveport restaurant and found three lady bugs in her meal.
"I was like, 'Oh my God!'" she said. "Then I thought, ladybugs mean good luck. Maybe I'm going to come into something."
The restaurant denied to both Brown and KTBS, the ladybugs came from their kitchen.
Brown also said she tried several times to reach someone with the Caddo Health Unit to file a report, but no one answered the phone.
But an inspection earlier this week found no traces of bugs.
"All of our inspections are not announced," said Bob Norred, the Chief Sanitarian of the Office of Public Health Office of Public Health Sanitarian Services. "So hopefully we see things as they are on a day to day basis. It is just a snap shot in time."
Norred said his office must inspect more than 1,500 permitted restaurants in Caddo Parish alone. Right now Caddo has two sanitarians with another one set to start work next week.
"You can see we're overwhelmed there," said Norred. "But the sanitarian from DeSoto Parish, the sanitarian from Red River Parish and one of the sanitarians from Bossier Parish come here once a week to try and help out ."
Norred said he believes most local restaurants are safe but it's up to each diner to decide.
"They should just be aware of what makes them feel comfortable when they are in an establishment," he said. "If they see something or think there's something out of order, then there's processes they can go through to get it inspected."
The process to file a complaint has to be done either in person at the Caddo Parish Environmental Health Service building at 1033 Creswell Street or online. Click here to file a complaint.

SourceMatchingA common task in multi-wavelength astronomy is to take two catalogs of objects and compare them in order to identify the same objects in each catalog. This can be implemented quite easily, by looping over each object in one catalog, and computing the distance between it and the object in a second catalog. In Cartesian space, the distance is just
<latex>D_{ij} = \left( x_i - x_j
2 - y_i - y_j2\right)
{1/2}</latex>2 \cos\delta_{\rm ref}
Here, <latex>x_i, y_i</latex> is the position of the object in the first catalog, and <latex>x_j, y_j</latex> are each of the positions in the second catalog. A match is defined if the distance between two objects is less than the sum of the squares of the uncertainties in the positions of the two objects.
The coordinates astronomers work with are of course spherical; typically, <latex>\alpha</latex> and <latex>\delta</latex> representing the right ascension and declination. If you are matching objects that are close together, then you can use the following approximation:
<latex>D = \left( \alpha_{\rm ref} - \alpha_i
{1/2}</latex>2</latex> process, because we have to compute the distance between every pair of stars, and then find which offsets were smaller than the positional uncertainties.
This process can take a long time, however, if there are a lot of objects to compare. The process above becomes an order <latex>N
For a long time, I lived with the slow, order <latex>N
2</latex> process, because my lists of stars were relatively small; a few thousand in each catalog. Making lists of matches wasn't that slow. However, I eventually started using a longer list for one of my catalogs, containing millions of stars. The process was slower, but I could take a little break and come back to the result when the computer was done.2</latex> matching algorithm, this was barely tolerable for catalogs of a few thousand stars, and excruciating when one of the catalogs had tens or hundreds of thousands of objects (I didn't try millions).
Then, I realized another step was needed in the process of making a catalog. I needed to know how likely it was that the matches between objects in the two catalogs were real. I could do a quick calculation of the density of stars in one catalog, and compute the probability that a star would randomly fall within the positional uncertainty of a star in the second catalog. From that probability, I could estimate how many of the matches were spurious, and consequently how many were genuine.
However, in my application, the stars were not uniformly distributed; I was looking at the Galactic center, where stars were centrally concentrated, and where differential absorption produced patches with few stars. The only way to approach my problem was through a Monte Carlo simulation. I would add a random, uniform shift to one catalog, and then test how many matches occurred between the bootstrapped distribution and the second catalog. Then, I would repeat the process hundreds of time so I could derive confidence limit.
With an order <latex>N
I knew there had to be a better matching algorithm (otherwise Gator would be prohibitively slow), but I couldn't find one in the literature. So, I re-invented the wheel. One can produce a faster matching algorithm as follows.
This process will be order N, significantly faster. With this, the Monte Carlo routine to count the number of spurious matches runs at a tolerable speed, even if one of the catalogs contains 10,000 objects, and the other one million objects (although you still might want to take a short break when you run it).
The following files implement these sorting and matching algorithms in IDL:

nice work! any plans on making a WP version? This would be great for a project I have coming up, but client will be blogging nearly every day…
Hi dantehicks, I'm glad you like it. The WP version is on the way, stay tuned!
Finally the Wordpress version is out! You can find it here: http://goo.gl/Znw8s
In the What we've done section, the checkmarkt are white. On the white background they are not really good visible, maybe make them grey??
But nice template! Good work.
Good spot, thanks for the notice. The preview is already fixed, I'm just working the last details for the download.
The updated template has been approved, please download the latest version which includes some bug fixes. Thank you!
Great Work! Beautiful template and very well documented. I was having a few technical issues but Gyo responded back to me right away with a fix and full explanation. Looks great on mobile devices as well. Nicely done.
Thanks Bob
Love the template…this is my first time building a site. I seem to have a problem with Firefox. The Andante logo is partially visible under my company logo on all of the pages….other browsers seem to be ok. Any thoughts?
Hello lschatz, it's probably the 'retina display' optimized logo. Please refer to the help documentation where it explains in details how to change it.
Thank you, Gyo
Hi Ischatz, I can't verify you as a customer and for this reason I can't give more support, as it wouldn't be fair. Please send me a private message and I'll be glad to help you out. Thank youhttp://themeforest.net/user/gyo
Hi can you help have no luck with blog section you can read however no reply/ comment box to fill in ? tried on laptop and ipad 3 no luck apart from this its a great template regards Paul
Hi Paul,
The comment boxes are not available in the HTML version but if you wish I can send you the necessary HTML +CSS code. Contact me in private and we'll sort this out.
Hello, There is a problem with the lightbox on Iphone (Portrait or landscape). The picture is open very smaller. Do you know how to solve this problem? Thank you.
Hello, thanks for the purchase!
This is a common issue with lightboxes on small screens and prettyPhoto is not an exception. As a workaround you could link to the "details page" or "fullwidth" instead of opening the lightbox. Another idea is to try swapping the library. Sorry for the issue, I haven't found yet a "perfect solution".
Thank you
I'm glad with my purchase. I like how it is a simple but nice design. It is fairly straightforward to use and this is my first time using Dreamweaver.
I just have one question. For my website, I am removing everything at the bottom except for 'Recent Posts'. Anything below 'Recent Posts' is displayed in vertical position. How would I make them horizontal, so they are next to each other. I made an image in photoshop to show you what I mean.http://postimg.org/image/ng1b2efu9/
Thanks Jason, Here you'll find the code to substitute in your HTML files (and one CSS line): http://pastebin.com/V4GxQiVP
You might have to add more CSS to add some spacing if necessary, but that should give you a good start.
Let me know!
Thanks for your awesome support man! Just one last question, i promise lol. I want to move the contact form to the right of the icons. See this picture;http://postimg.org/image/ulm628mup/
No problems!
For this I suggest you to use the original "contact" page, which is already done as you ask: http://giordanopiazza.com/themes/andante/contact.html
Basically just place the social icons in place of the "iframe", inside the "span8" div.
That should do it!
Thanks! I'll post a link to my website here once its up and running so people can see it works
Do you know how I can make my website appear on Google Search. I can't see it
I have changed my code to this;
<title>Jason Rk – Motion Graphics / Visual Effects / Video Editing</title> <meta name="description" content="Motion Graphics / Visual Effects / Video Editing"> <meta name="author" content="Jason Rk – http://jasonrk.co.uk">
When I type in 'jason rk' on google, my facebook, youtube and vimeo come up but my website doesn't.
Hi Jason, for your site to appear in Google search results might need time, depending on many SEO factors.
Thanks. I went through various sites and added my URL to searches. It's now appearing at the top of Google
I seem to not be receiving messages :/
I followed the instruction and changed the address;
// Change the email address to match yours
define("email@example.com", 'email@example.com');
It says 'thank you for messaging us' but I don't get the email.
Hey again! You should only replace the email address where it says 'firstname.lastname@example.com' and leave the string 'EMAIL_CONTACT' as it is:
define('EMAIL_CONTACT', 'firstname.lastname@example.com');
Thanks. It's all working now. Could you help me with a couple more things;
Next to my name on the website tab, sometimes there is an icon 'A'. Where can I find this in the theme folder so I can change it?
Also, could you help me with some code. http://jasonrk.co.uk/
Above 'Latest Work', I want to put one video above it. So the videos look like a pyramid. How would I put the video in the centre? http://postimg.org/image/u39dq44rz/
Actually, don't worry about that 'latest work' pyramid stuff..I'm going to leave it as it is. But could you answer my question about the 'A' icon
OK i figured out the 'A' icon. Now I have a new problem.
My website appears fine but in Dreamweaver it looks like this;http://postimg.org/image/w9xyfhfkv/
When I use my backup file, everything looks fine in Dreamweaver but then the website looks like this;http://postimg.org/image/uxkurc7j3/
I don't know what to do.
Hi Jason, as a personal opinion you can't trust the "preview" in Dreamweaver which was useful long ago when webdesign was "table based". Use it as a source editor if you like, but then check your website in real browsers to get the actual results.
Oh ok. By the way I managed to figure it out. My paths became messed up. It went from Relative paths to Absolute paths. I had to change it back. Also, do you know why the favicon doesn't show up when I am on different parts of my website. It shows up on the homagepage but then disappears if I click on a different page.
In the HTML head part, make sure the "shortcut icon" path is correct, maybe try with the absolute URL like following:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://jasonrk.co.uk/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

'Media Mash': Post-Election Edition
The historic "shellacking" that Democrats suffered on Tuesday night brought out the worst in Obama's acolytes in the mainstream media, giving NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell plenty to talk about on Sean Hannity's eponymous November 4 program.
Appearing via satellite for the popular recurring "Media Mash" segment, Bozell and Hannity first tackled who else but Chris Matthews. Clearly frustrated with the 2010 midterms and anticipating the 2012 presidential race, Matthews all but called former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) an illiterate.
"Would she look like an imbecile" on "Jeopardy!", Matthews asked Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) Tuesday night during live election coverage on MSNBC.
[Video after page break]
"Have you ever been an eyewitness to her reading something. No, I'm dead serious about this," the "Hardball" host asked over Begich's laughter:
SEAN HANNITY: It's beyond silly now, it's like an obsession. Your reaction?
BRENT BOZELL: Even by MSNBC standards, the election night coverage on that network was beyond atrocious and beyond despicable. It's wasn't just that, Sean, it was [Rep.] Michele Bachmann and the way he insulted her. They were so insulting in their comments, so sophomoric, so childish, that I've got to wonder what Tom Brokaw and the executives at NBC are thinking? How much longer are they going to allow this to continue?
By the way, Sarah Palin, in House races, she won 66 percent of the ones she endorsed, 60 percent of Senate races, and when you consider virtually all of them are challengers, those are world records.
Hannity and Bozell also discussed the media's meme that the midterm elections were simply about anger:
BOZELL: Sean, you and I could set our watches by this, and you knew it was coming. First of all the anger stuff, that comes up every time Republicans win. Remember Peter Jennings... in 1994 he said America can't be governed by an angry 2-year-old, that's how he described the electorate -- he apologized for that later -- it's the same thing going on. "Those idiots out there, how dare they have done this to us." The idea of compromise. Have you ever heard them say this to Democrats when they win?
When they win it's hope, it's change, it's a new tomorrow. It's, you know, out with the old, in with the new. With Republicans, it's immediately, "now, when are you going to compromise?".... You'll never hear that said about Democrats.

They have been on a two year organized media campaign to smear Republicans and Tea Partiers and where did it get them.....? The DNC's super huge majorites lie in the dustbin of history. Coincidence ? I think not. If the White House and the DNC and all things leftie choose to make MSNBC their defacto media mouthpiece then I say keep up the good work. It gives us something to laugh at as the new Republican majority takes over the House.

The "elites"
Submitted by iveseenitall on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 12:56pm.
As they have their temper tantrums, the so-called media "elites" are being shown for what they are---ignorant, immature adolescents in adult bodies. The curtain is being pulled back and they can't stand it. One of the worst things you can do to "liberals" is expose their ignorance and hypocrisy. When backed into a corner by the truth, they revert to the only thing they have-- sophomoric giggling and personal attacks. Matthews, Olbermann, Press, Maher, Behar---on and on it goes. Like high school cliques, they "think" they are better, while most eveyone else simply ignores ( and laughs at ) them.
P.S. What a shame that we've had to suffer these fools for so long. As have our "educators" and politicians, the media "elites" have squandered the opportunity to uplift the nation and instead have continued to drag it into the pit of the cruel ignorance and political correctness which will be our ultimate downfall. How sad for this once-great nation.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Can't agree more, but I'm tired of ignoring these cork shockers. They need to get off the ladies' backs and get back on Barney Frank's back, which is more their style, and his.
So I'm putting the bar fight offer back on the table, all very friendly of course. Wouldn't want this to be interpreted as a threat or anything. It will all be in fun, just like the school playground! The losers will buy afterward of course.
I can round up my Happy Hour buddies, and a few others who want in for our team, and Prissy Crissy and Special Ed can bring any of the panty waists on their network they want, with the exception of Maddow.
We are all old, crippled, mostly vets who want to give these young "men" a chance to work off some of their testosterone on us and not have to keep bashing ladies who can't hit back. I've even had a few people on this site want to volunteer to let them beat us up!
So bring it on, Special Ed. I heard you say recently that Obama should be smashing somebody in the mouth. How 'bout you, lard ass? You want to win a free beer?

The on-air "talent" (and I use that term EXTREMELY loosely) on MSNBC revealed their true vitriolic selves fully and for all the world to see. I've read some liberal blogs and even liberals found their nonsense and unprofessionalism to be objectionable and offensive. From from I read from liberals, that night of election coverage has cost them more viewers. The Comcast takeover can't happen soon enough.

Served from cask into a Black & Blue III shaker. Poured a massively dark brown with a half finger khaki colored head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, toffee, coffee, vanilla, and subtle dark chocolate. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. This was honestly my favorite brew of the night. The flavor and aroma on this one were just so well balanced that it was impossible to ignore. This made the brew really enjoyable and easy to drink and kept me going back quite a few times to get my fill. Definitely glad I got the opportunity to try this one and hope Green Man does this in the future and bottles it. Tick.

This story is a tragedy on so many level. To call it a nightmare is an understatement. Michael Morton, a Texas husband and father, was convicted of a crime he did not commit – the brutal murder of his beloved wife. Then, to make matters even worse, he was disowned by his only son. He spent 25 years of a life sentence in prison trying desperately to clear his name and reunite with the young son he had left behind.
"From then on I knew… I was their guy no matter what." -Michael Morton
@katiecouric This story is incredibly touching.People always forget that there are kids involved who are innocent in these situations
— Bridget Russell (@bridgetrussell1) November 13, 2012
As Michael fought for his innocence, he desperately held out hope that he would be reunited with his son, Eric, who was just three-years-old when he was sentenced to life in prison.
"He was growing older and apart from me." -Michael Morton
When Eric was 18-years-old, he disowned his father. He was legally adopted by his aunt and uncle and took their last name. The two reunited when Michael was finally set free.
"It broke me… I had never felt more gutted and bankrupt." -Michael Morton
This poor man… At least he finally got his life back & his son… Sad story :( is.gd/XTXD99 #GetGlue @katieshow
— Theresa E Phillips (@panteri11) November 13, 2012
After spending 25 years in prison, Michael was eventually exonerated by DNA evidence. Michael's attorney, John Raley, helped discover the evidence that cleared Michael's name and help him win his freedom.
"I no longer see things as coincidences." -Michael Morton
When Michael Morton was exonerated last year, the prime suspect in his wife's murder was finally revealed – a career criminal with an extensive record.
"I have personal experience with how wrong things can go." -Michael Morton
@katieshow being from Law Enforcement, this is so wrong..Someone must be accountable for his wrongful imprisonment!
— cindy squires (@ford200038) November 13, 2012
Since DNA testing began in 1989, more than 300 wrongfully convicted people, including 18 on death row, have been exonerated by this scientific evidence. Nina Morrison, the senior staff attorney at the Innocence Project, a group that used DNA technology to clear Michael Morton, discussed the disturbing trend of wrongful convictions.

Kitty Wells Biography

Major awards
Country Music Association's Hall of Fame, 1976
NARAS Governor's Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Recording Industry, 1981
Academy of Country Music's Pioneer Award, 1985
NARAS' Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, 1991
The Music City News' Living Legend Award, 1993
Kitty Wells, the "Queen of Country Music", was born Ellen Muriel Deason, in Nashville, Tennessee on August 30, 1919. She created the role for all other female country singers. "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" recorded in 1952, was her first number one song nand she was the first female to sell a million records and reach number one in the country field. For 14 consecutive years she was voted the nation's number one "Country Female Artist" by all of the trade publications such as: Billboard, Cashbox , Record World and Downbeat Magazine. No other Country female artist has ever topped her achievements.
In 1935, Kitty joined her sisters Mae and Jewel along with her cousin Bessie Choate, forming the group known as the Deason sisters. They appeared on an early morning radio station in Nashville, WSIX in 1936.
She learned to play the guitar at around age 14 and learned to love country music from her father, Charles Cary Deason, a brakeman for the Tennessee Central Railroad, who used to play the banjo and guitar. Kitty who is also a fantastic cook, learned this skill from her mom, Myrtle.
1937, Kitty married Johnny Wright , who is also a legend in Country Music. He was part of the famous duo Johnny and Jack. Jack Anglin, Johnny's duet partner was married to Johnny's sister, Louise. They began a career in country entertainment that has spanned over 60 years. Kitty and Johnny have three children, Ruby, Bobby and Sue.
Kitty was given the name Kitty Wells, by her husband Johnny Wright in 1943. Johnny got the name from the old folk ballad recorded by the Pickard Family, entitled "Sweet Kitty Wells". Johnny and Kitty made appearances in the early years on radio stations in Raleigh, North Carolina (WPTF), Knoxville, Tennessee (KNOX), Bluefield, West Virginia (WCHS, Decatur, Georgia (WEAS) and at the Louisana Hayride in Shreveport, Louisiana (KWKH). Kitty's first recording session was for RCA Records in 1947 when she recorded some gospel songs, such as "Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet" and "How Far Is Heaven". Kitty re-recorded "How Far Is Heaven" two more times on Decca Records, once with daughter then age 9, Carol Sue.
Johnny and Jack were the top country vocal duo in the late forties, recording such hits for RCA Records, "Ashes of Love", Poison Love" and "Down South in New Orleans". They were also writing most of their hits along with Jack's brother, Jim Anglin. They put a catchy beat to their songs called the "rumba" beat, which began a new style for the duo. They remained popular until Jack's untimely death in 1963. At which time Johnny began his solo career with the number one hit song, "Hello Vietnam" which was featured in the movie, "Full Metal Jacket".
Kitty was about to quit show biz and stay at home with her three children, but God had another plan. Paul Cohen, then A&R for Decca Records, was looking for a female singer to record the answer to Hank Thompson's number one hit, "The Wild Side Of Live". He asked Johnny if Kitty would be interesed in recording, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", Kitty said she would do it so she could make the money off of the recording session. Even though the Grand Ole Opry banned the song and she was not allowed to perform it on the air at the time, the song became a million seller. The rest is history, thus beginning the sensational career of Miss Kitty Wells. Her duet with Red Foley,"One By One" remained on the charts for almost a year. Kitty signed an unheard of "lifetime" contract with Decca Records in 1959. She remained on Decca until 1975 when she released one album on Capricorn Records. On this session, Kitty was backed by some members of the infamous "Allman Brothers Band". In 1979, Johnny and Kitty formed their own label, Ruboca Records, (named after there three children, Ruby, Bobby and Carol Sue) and managed by son-in-law, John Sturdivant. Kitty had her last solo Top Ten Single on Ruboca at age 60 with, "Thank You For The Roses".
Family has always been an important part of the Wells/Wright team. They have always included their children as a part of their tour from the time they were able to walk on stage. After Jack Anglin's death in March of 1963, Johnny decided to make the show a"family" show and in 1965, brought Bobby back from California to join the show permanently. In the late sixties and early seventies, Kitty and Johnny had their own Family TV Show which featured Kitty, Johnny, son Bobby, daughters Ruby and Sue, and longtime friend Bill Phillips. They have also recorded not only on the family albums, but have had careers in their own right. Ruby not only recorded solo on RCA and RIC Records, but also as a part of the Nita (Nita Carter), Rita (Rita Robbins) and Ruby trio. She and sister Sue recorded for the Cadence Record label as the Wright Sisters. Bobby not only has had a successful recording career with Decca, ABC and United Artist Records, but also was a professional actor. He played the part of Willie, the Tennessee moonshiner, on the popular TV series, "McHale's Navy". Kitty and Johnny now have 8 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Kitty and Johnny opened the Family Country Junction Museum and Studio in 1983 in their hometown of Madison. They are closing the museum as of October 2000, but hope you will stay in touch via email. Their grandson, John Sturdivant, Jr. will keep the Junction Recording Studio at its present location and which will now also house Junction Records .
When in Nashville be sure and visit The Nightlife Dinner Theater co-owned by grandson Larry (Duke) Stephenson on Music Valley Drive.

YouGov is a popular website that pays you for completing online surveys. YouGov is a very well-established and respected global market research company. It is so well established in fact, that it floated on the stock market and it has a large enough profile to pop up on the Finance pages of the broadsheets every so often. With this in mind, I think it would be nicer if YouGov rewarded their survey participants with more money for the surveys they complete! It took me three years to earn £50 just for competing their surveys! I think this is an incredibly long time compared with other survey sites like OnePoll and Pureprofile, because these sites normally take me one year to earn £50. YouGov is worth sticking with, because I think that it does have other unique advantages, which I will later discuss in my review.
YouGov also offer opportunities to win cash prizes. If you are prepared to log onto the YouGov members site once a week, there are usually one or two surveys that are available for all members, which once completed enters you into a prize draw where you could win between £25 to £1000. I havent won any prizes, but Im still hopeful!
One aspect that I do like about YouGov is the fact that you get paid the full amount for a paid survey even if you dont qualify to complete it. YouGov is the only survey site I know that does this, and I am a member of a lot of good quality survey sites! I also like the fact that the money is instantly credited to your YouGov account and is made visible for me to see. I find that it feels quite gratifying to see the money gradually tot its way up to the £50 mark. This is also good, because being instantly credited in this way prevents me from being in the situation of having to chase them for any rewards that they might have failed to credit me with (Toluna, anyone?).

ĀĀAs MGM Home Entertainment has finally put the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap back on the release schedule as you can see here, there is other Spinal Tap related news also. Today, the band has released a new album!ĀĀI stumbled across this more or less by accident, since I'm not a hardcore Spinal Tap fan and do not follow any developments within their fan community. I thought many of you may be in the same boat but may nevertheless like to know that the band's new album Back From The Dead is hitting retail shelves today.
