So tonight, I was bored and started watching NFL game highlights from the Fins games this season. I noticed a lot of interesting things that made me wonder "What-If?"
Yes, I know "What-If" doesn't change anything, but still, it's fun to wonder.
Week 2 -- Indianapolis vs. Miami
What if...
...the Gibril Wilson catch was called an interception?
The infamous "What can happen in :08?" play. If Wilson hangs on to the ball all the way to the ground, Indy doesn't kick a field-goal at the end of the half to tie the game at 13. Indy only possesses the ball three times in the second half, they score two touchdowns. Miami's final drive has them only trailing 24-23. Instead of desperation heaves, the offense needs only work the Wildcat into position for a game-winning field goal.
...the Ted Ginn drop in the endzone.
An interesting point on this play, even if Ginn catches that pass, I don't think it would hold up. After watching the replays, it looks to me that Pennington was across the line of scrimmage as he released the ball. It seems that since it was incomplete, they didn't take a second look at it, but if this pass is caught, they'll review it to be sure. Would the play stand?
Week 4 -- New Orleans vs. Miami
What if...
...instant replay was working?
Early in the game on a 3rd-and-4, Henne completed an 8-yard pass to Davone Bess for a first down...or did he? The replays showed the ball clearly hitting the ground. However, only after the allotted maximum replay time had passed were the teams informed that the replay booth had a malfunction, and as a result, the play would stand as called. If Miami doesn't get that first down, they don't jump out to a 7-0 early lead. Do they ever get the momentum that led to a 24-3 lead? Does New Orleans blow the game wide open right off the bat?
...Colston's completion was ruled correctly on the field?
Late in the first half trailing 24-3, Drew Brees hits Marques Colston for what is ruled a touchdown with five seconds left. After a booth review, the play is overturned, and the ball placed at the one-half yard line. The second part of this "What-if" involves Sparano's inexplicable timeout call. No timeout, and perhaps it's 24-6 at the half. But here's the real key to this moment. If the call was made on the field, the Saints, with no timeouts, cannot stop the clock. The stop is made in the field of play, and time runs out. 24-3, halftime. Instead, the replay stops the clock, allowing New Orleans the opportunity to set up for a field goal, and eventually, a game-changing touchdown.
...Sharper's fumble is correctly ruled?
Early in the third quarter, Miami leading 24-10, Henne directs a pass to Ginn that is tipped twice and caught by Darren Sharper. Sharper appeared to fumble before returning the ball to the endzone for a touchdown. The play stood as called and New Orleans was suddenly within 24-17. However, photo evidence proves that this was a fumble. A photo in the following week's Sports Illustrated shows Sharper losing control of the ball inside the two-yard line. The ball went out of the endzone, and by rule, should have been a touchback. Miami maintains its two-touchdown lead, and gets effectively, a fresh set of downs.
Week 10: Tampa Bay vs. Miami
What if...
...the Jason Taylor interception was never overturned?
Inside of two-minutes to go in the half, Josh Freeman throws a pass to Michael Clayton. Clayton caught the ball, and so it looked, was down by contact. Yeremiah Bell rips the ball free and it goes into the arms of Jason Taylor. If Miami doesn't get the ball deep in the Bucs territory, Tampa either runs out the clock, or punts it away where Miami lacks the firepower to score the touchdown that makes the score 16-6, or possibly Carpenter's field goal. The score stays 9-6 at the half. Does Miami still win?
Week 12: Miami vs. Buffalo
What if...
...Ricky doesn't pass.
On Miami's opening drive, Ricky Williams is called upon to pass from the 3-yard line. The pass is intercepted. If the pass isn't called, and Miami instead runs in for a score, it's a 14-0 lead. The fourth quarter drive on which Lindell kicks a go-ahead 56-yard field goal, the score would be 21-14. Does Buffalo go for it on fourth-down instead? Henne isn't forced to pass late in the game, do the turnovers still happen?
I know, I know, wondering what if doesn't change a thing, but still, it's interesting to think about. Would Miami's 7-6 be 10-3 right now? It's just a few plays away from it. Of course...it's a few plays away from being 3-10 too....

MONDAY, Feb. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Many gay and bisexual teenagers are bullied in school, but the problem does ease substantially as they get older, a new study out of England suggests.
Researchers found that of more than 4,100 teens aged 13 and 14 who they surveyed, gay and bisexual teens were more likely to say they'd been bullied -- anything from name-calling to being physically hurt.
Fifty-seven percent of girls and 52 percent of boys said they'd been victims, versus about 40 percent of their heterosexual peers.
The good news was that things got better with time, the researchers report online Feb. 4 and in the March print issue of Pediatrics. At ages 19 and 20, 6 percent of lesbian and bisexual women and 9 percent of gay and bisexual men said they'd been victimized in the past year.
The bad news was that men were still four times more likely to report bullying than heterosexual young men were.
"Basically this is saying that it does get better, but it's not good enough," said Brian Mustanski, an associate professor of medical social sciences at Northwestern University, in Chicago.
Mustanski, who was not involved in the study, has done research on the impact of bullying on gay and bisexual kids. "The work we've done shows that there is an association between bullying and suicide attempts and self-harming behavior in [gay and bisexual] youth," he said.
But it's not only researchers paying attention now, Mustanski added.
The media have put a spotlight on recent cases in which gay teens have taken their own lives after being taunted by their peers. And in 2010, syndicated columnist Dan Savage, who is gay, launched the "It Gets Better" project to get a message to gay and bisexual kids who are being bullied.
"The message was, it will get better with time," Mustanski said. "And that's an important message. But we really hadn't had any research to show that that's true."
Lead researcher Joseph Robinson agreed that these findings help validate what people have believed to be true.
"This suggests that chances are, things will get better," said Robinson, an assistant professor of educational psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "We've been giving kids a message of hope, and this is showing that's not a false hope."
But the continuing disparity between gay and heterosexual young men is concerning, Robinson said. "For straight males, bullying gets better a lot quicker -- which is great news for them. But we'd like to see the same improvement for gay and bisexual males."
The picture may be worse for young men because society is generally less accepting of men being gay or bisexual, Robinson noted. "Men, in particular, just can't deviate from gender norms," he said. "That's what society expects."
The findings are based on a national sample of 4,135 school kids in England who were interviewed annually over seven years. Of these, 187 (almost 5 percent) identified themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual.

HEREFORD'S Lea Wood heads into the opening round of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch this weekend with a brand new car and renewed optimism of top-10 placings.
The 29-year-old finished last season with the Jack Sears Trophy for the best results in one of the old-style S2000 cars.
But now, he's in with the major contenders after a sponsor provided him with a Toyota Avensis to contest this season's championship.
"It's a great new challenge and I never thought that I would be in this position," said Wood. "We are still running our own team but the sponsor, who is Oxford-based, has provided the car.
"It has taken a lot of work to make it happen and it's all coming together at the last minute.
"The car shell was used before but all of the bits are new so effectively it is a brand-new car."
Wood's driving ability has never been in question but he was never likely to be in contention at the head of the main field in his old-style Vauxhall Vectra.
But all that could now be set to change, although he acknowledges that there is still a steep learning curve ahead.
"Our main aim at Brands Hatch will be to finish the three races, get used to the car and get plenty of information on what it can do," he said.
"Our aim is to get some top 10 finishes but that is unlikely to happen straightaway.
"The factory teams like MG and Honda have been doing this for years and they know all about their cars."
Wood is travelling down to Brands Hatch today (Thursday) ready to get set up for practice and qualifying on Saturday ahead of the first race, which begins at 11.47am on Sunday.
As usual, there are 10 meetings featuring three races each with the next round coming to Donington Park on Easter weekend, April 20.

Thanks to UAB's 38-31 win on Saturday, the Thundering Herd now needs to win its final two games of the season in order to become bowl eligible.
The Herd is in familiar territory.
Last year on November 13, 2011, Marshall had the same record (4-6) and came off a bad loss (Tulsa, 59-17) while heading into the final two weeks of the season.
Marshall then needed to win its final two games of the year to reach a bowl game.
In the Herd's first game, Marshall edged out Memphis 23-20, and then pulled out an impressive overtime victory at home defeating East Carolina, 34-27.
With those two huge wins, Marshall punched its ticked to play in a bowl game.
They eventually beat FIU in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl in St. Petersburg, FL a few weeks later.
Fast forward 365 days later.
The Herd has the same record and is facing the same fate.
Marshall must win its final two games of the season to become bowl eligible.
Marshall hosts Houston (4-6, 3-3) this Saturday, and then travels to East Carolina for a special Friday afternoon (2 p.m.) game next week (11/23).
Last season's experience of overcoming this type of adversity should help the green and white rattle off two straight wins, and head back a bowl game for the second consecutive season.

Randall Cunningham, Jr. talks Baylor to BearsTruth.com
"I know that Coach Briles has coached outstanding quarterbacks. He is one of the best coaches in the nation in my eyes," he said. "I feel that he can take many quarterbacks to the next level, including me, because he has an amazing coaching staff with him and he has many great examples of what he can do in the NFL now."I don't often pull from subscription articles, but I did this time. If you want the absolute best information on Baylor recruits, this is where to go. I think it's safe to say Mr. Cunningham is extremely interested in what the Bears have to offer.

Helen Dragas is one step closer to keeping her seat on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors. A House of Delegates subcommittee voted six to one Thursday to support her reappointment by Governor McDonnell.
A half-dozen people spoke out against keeping Dragas on the board, citing concerns about transparency and trouble with accreditation after UVA was placed on warning last month.
Dragas' confirmation will come up again Friday morning during a meeting of the full House Privileges & Elections Committee. If approved, the reappointment would go to a final vote on the floor of the House of Delegates sometime next week.
Her presumed reappointment comes as the university continues to grapple with a warning from its accrediting agency, levied in the wake of last summer's leadership crisis.
"The problem is it's taking a lot of time and effort, and really I think it's harming the reputation of the university," 25th District Delegate Steve Landes said.
Landes spoke with President Teresa Sullivan by phone Wednesday. They discussed a variety of issues, including the university's attempt to salvage its good standing with its accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
"[The university is] concerned about it, but we think that will be worked through and they will address the issues the accrediting agency has brought forth," Landes said.
Chief among those issues is the role UVA's Board of Visitors played in the failed ouster of President Sullivan this past June. In a letter earlier this month, SACS acknowledged UVA's efforts to address issues raised last summer.
"It did recognize the actions that the board had taken at its November board meeting," Virginia Secretary of Education Laura Fornash said.
Those actions include revisions to the manual of the Board of Visitors relating to the appointment and removal of the university president.
But despite those actions, concerned alumni say more needs to be done. Virginia alumna Susanna Nicholson still wants Helen Dragas removed from the board, but says the larger goal is restoring the university to good standing.
"To ensure that the SACS warning is lifted," said Nicholson, "to ensure that transparency and good governance standards are applied."
That brings us back to Del. Landes, who is carrying legislation to do just that. His bills - House Bill 1940 and House Bill 1952 - both passed the House of Delegates Thursday. Among other things, they would make boards of visitors more transparent, and require student and faculty representation on those boards, something that many schools already do, but is not statutorily mandated.
"Whether the rector is confirmed or not, these will make improvements for the system ongoing, and that's the most important thing," Landes said. "We want to try to solve and correct the problems of the past."

WaPo's Robinson: Solve Deficit With Tax Hikes, Defense Cuts and Universal Healthcare
Eugene Robinson's column in Thursday's Washington Post should have been placed in that paper's funnies section rather than the opinion page.
His solution to our nation's deficit would be laughable if it wasn't so gosh darned scary:
Do progressives care about reducing the national debt? Of course they do, no matter what the White House might believe.
So innocently began Robinson's "A Little More Revenue Could Go A Long Way."
Unfortunately, readers are going to need a spoonful of sugar to help his medicine go down:
Start by allowing the Bush-era tax cuts for households making more than $250,000 a year to expire; this would cut deficits by about $700 billion over a decade. Add in the revenue that would be gained by closing the tax loopholes that Obama keeps talking about — eliminating some deductions for high earners, requiring hedge fund executives to pay taxes at the same rate as their chauffeurs, eliminating the tax break for corporate jets and so on — and soon you're in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars.
The nominal corporate tax rate of 35 percent is a joke, since big corporations don't actually pay that much; those loopholes, too, could be eliminated. Then we could look at measures that would have broader impact — say, hiking or eliminating the income cap for Social Security payroll contributions.
I hope you swallowed that sugar first, or that had to taste pretty darned sour.
Our nation is currently teetering on a double dip - Friday's awful numbers out of the Labor Department concerning the unemployment rate having risen to 9.2 percent in June following disappointing May numbers is extremely cautionary - and this former Post editor wants to not only raise taxes on the top one percent of wage earners, he also wants to lift the payroll tax ceiling which will impact folks making as little as $107,000.
Is that a good idea given the current economic environment? And what happens if we do raise the payroll tax limit? Do such contributors get more benefits for their additional contributions?
They'd better, or Social Security becomes a wealth redistribution program and not the retirement insurance plan the Supreme Court said was Constitutional in the '30s.
But Robinson wasn't done (readers are advised to take another spoonful of sugar right about now):
If we could trim the Pentagon's spending by 15 percent — I know I'm dreaming, but humor me — we'd save another $1 trillion over 10 years. [...]
It's impolitic to mention this fact, but other developed nations manage to produce better health outcomes for roughly half of what we're paying. They do this through single-payer health systems, many of which deliver care via private health insurance companies.
Add it all up, and Robinson's deficit cure is raising income and payroll taxes, cutting defense spending, and creating a new healthcare entitlement program for every single citizen.
There's not enough sugar on the planet to get that medicine down the throats of most Americans.

if Robinson would have his way, tax it if it moves, surrender to anyone who wanders by, make sure the healthcare system becomes adept at denying coverage to anyone and everyone, and voila', we're there, Utopia. Or Greece x 10.

Just another half-baked silly little "liberal" journOlist (who happens also to be a racist). But hey, he has a right to make a fool of himself--- and he's so good at it.
BTW---Right, those who make $107,000 will soon be taxed under any Democrat plan. And the tax burden will just keep increasing for the disappearing "middle class" ( but not for those in the welfare state who pay no taxes at all).

Submitted by drsamherman on Fri, 07/08/2011 - 12:10pm.
I am baffled that anyone would consider Eugene Robinson to be an informed journalist. Everything he says is repeated word for word from Jay Carney's office. Going to the grocery store with Eugene would probably be an exercise in futility. Confronted with such free choice and such a lack of originality, he must depend on lists to the point where he only sees what others dictate for him to see.

My ideology is to question the entire idea of sending troops to defend Iraq's border and leaving our souther border wide open to drug cartelists and terrorists.
The amount the US army is spending on air conditioning is one thing but this "war on terrorism" has gone on longer than the combined time US troops spent winning WW One and WW Two.
Your hero Janet Napolitano says Americans need to accept the idea of the war on terror going on forever.I'm sure you think we have the bucks to throw away on no win wars forever but saner people question that looney idea.
Does it not bother your "ideology" to see what this "war on terror" has done to our nations airports, where TSA goons violate passengers' Bill of Rights?

You may not be aware of this, because you clearly want the United States to be as weak and as whiny as possible, but we lost 3000 or so people on 11 September 2001 in a series of terrorist attacks. By going on offense, a strategy you clearly despise, the terrorists see that the United States is to be messed with at their great personal risk.
Oh, sure, we COULD get this done faster, but you don't have the stomach for what is needed to end things expressly. And neither does most of the public. If we were to get the thing done faster, the things we would be required to do you make you SCREAM and SCREAM and SCREAM.
We have the tools right now to deal with the southern border (something I sorta kinda care about being 200 miles from it). It's just a matter of political will. Turning the United States into a whiny, isolationist ostrich isn't going to help matters much.
Are you aware that what has been going on at our nation's airports has been going on since the late 1960s-early 1970s?

no gov. goons at airports in the "60's and 70's"
Submitted by lrgon on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 1:28am.
It's amazing that you embrace the entire government concept that a left wing socialist paper hanger used in Germany to terrorize the people at train depots. The gestapo would ask Germany citizens for "your papers please," and they had no choice but to submit to government goons of that period. The government terrorized its own citizens but apparently you think that's ok for America?
Where in your 'fraidy cat' statement does one find TSA goons in the "60's and 70's" intimidating and abusing 95 year old ladies? The TSA was created by congress in the 21 st century not in the 20th. People used to board their planes on the tarmac with no sniff dogs around all during the war in Vietnam.
Your statement: "Are you aware that what has been going on at our nation's airports has been going on since the late 1960s-early 1970s?"
Terrorists have been around since the fifties in the USA. In the sixties and seventies we had hi-jackings of airliners by Black Panthers; there were bombings by Weather Underground terrorists. Bank robberies were carried out by the likes of the Symbionese Liberation army.
Dr. Claire Sterling did an extensive study of the world-wide terror network and documented it in his book. I have that book in my library. http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Network-Claire-Sterling/dp/0030506611
In Germany and Italy there was the Baader Meinhoff gang and Red Army faction. In South America terrorist there cooperated with terrorists in all of the continents like Yasser arafats PLO and the Egyptian Brotherhood.
The communist internationale held meetings to coordinate their terror campaigns on the "capitalist nations." Their ties were to Moscow back then and the ties to Moscow have not been severed. So yes, I am aware of terrorism in the "60's and 70's," but there were no government goons at the airports violating my 4th amendment rights,nor telling folks that the BOR do not apply at airports.
The goals of terrorism is to get a reaction form the target populations of the various countries to accept a paradigm shift in their thinking from being free citizens to accepting ever more controls over their lives from their own government.
There is no way terrorist can overthrow large nations like the USA and the European countries so they don't try; they simply use terror tactics to get a reaction from citizens who trade their freedom for security.
Ben Franklin said that those people who trade freedom for security deserve neither. And they certainly aren't patriots since patriots fight for freedom, they don't give it away to be safe like fraidy cats.
If the Bill of Rights do not apply at airports then someday they will not apply at shopping centers, stadium and concert halls.Or maybe someday they'll be TSA goons checking your papers as you enter your neighborhood. Is that what you want for security?
I choose freedom because the Minutemen didn't fight and die so that we could whine like skeered rabbits in a hole.
"Isolationism." We have always had embassies and free exchange of ideas and cultural and business relations with civilized nations. It has been between citizens. The myth that bringing troops home will lead to isolationism is a myth. In fact war breeds the isolationism you accuse others of supporting. We need to defend America's soil not Iraq's or Libya's or the rock called Afghanistan.

Its interesting that your post reminded of a poem I hear back several years ago. Thought I would share it with everyone.
A Visitor from the Past
by Thelen Paulk
I had a dream the other night, I did not understand
A figure walking through the mist, with a flintlock in his hand
His clothes were torn and dirty; As he stood there by my bed,
he took off his three cornered hat. And speaking low, he said,
"We fought a revolution to secure our Liberty
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny
For future generations this legacy we gave
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave
The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep
But tyrants labored endlessly, while your parents were asleep
Your freedom gone - Your courage lost You're no more than a slave
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave
You buy a permit to travel, and a permit to own a gun
Permits to start a business or to build a place for one
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent
Although you have no voice in choosing, how the money's spent
Your children must attend a school, that does not educate
Your Christian values can't be taught, according to the State
You read about the current news in a regulated press
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the IRS
Your money is no longer made of silver or gold
You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled
You pay for crimes that make your nation turn
from God in shame You've taken Satans number,
as you traded in your name
You've given government control to those who do you harm,
so they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm
And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
harass your fellow countrymen While corrupted courts prevail
Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they swore
Your daughters visit doctors, so their children won't be born
Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,
and send your sons to slaughter, to fight other peoples wars
Can you regain your freedom, for which we fought and died,
or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride
Are there no more values for which you would fight to save,
or do you wish your children, to live in fear and be a slave
Sons of the Republic, arise and take a stand
Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land
Preserve our great Republic, and teach each God given right,
and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright..."

That's funny. You like that part of the poem? I don't know why; you are embarrassed and ashamed of people who actually swear to support and defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
The Constitution does not continue to exist out of the kindness of people's hearts. It must be fought for and protected, and defended; and sometimes the best defense is a good offense.
Pearl Harbor didn't happen because the United States was too powerful.

Submitted by Unsane on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 6:57pm.
Um, before there were "TSA goons", there were all manner of "goons" that searched people at airports. This began in earnest in the 1960s and 1970s. The only difference now is that they are called "TSA". They were federalized after 2001 after 11 September 2001 because President Bush felt he needed to look like he was "doing something". I'm all about airport security. I bet we'd actually agree on a great deal of things on that score. But you are already assuming a hostile stance when it isn't necessary.
Not to mention your condescending attitude, talking to me about a subject I have been forced to study at length for years primarily because I lived in Europe and had to deal with the threat of groups like the Red Army Faction, the Fighting Communist Cells, etc etc etc.
And there is the cliched citation of Ben Franklin. Got it. I see. Basically you are one of those people who throw an absolute fit over virtually any attempt at law enforcement. Again, i have zero problem with airport security. In fact, I say we should ask Israel how they do as their security record for air transportation is near flawless. Among the many books I have read on the subject I have read Benjamin Netanyahu's writings on the subject.
By the way, thanks for indicating you absolutely refuse to understand how the world works. By killing terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, we prevent them from coming over here and killing people. Unlike you I prefer to take the fight to THEM on their soil. You seem VERY comfortable with the prospect of sitting around and waiting for the terrorists to come over here and blow up some public businesses, public venues, or perhaps mow down some crowds; at which point you will then demand action. Of course, YOU think clearly that terrorism, when targeted at the United States, is the result of what the United States did. You haver a "blame America first, last, and always" attitude that makes even hardened Leftists look like genuine patriots.
"Patriotism", it has been written, "is the last refuge of a scoundrel." You surely are proving that point to be true. You howl and scream about how your rights are being trampled upon when you board a plane, and talk about how much a patriot you are because you're not a "fraidy cat". Yet, when it comes to the United States defending itself by taking the war to the terrorists, you throw a temper tantrum. You hide behind patriotism but you are most definitely not a patriot. Not one who wishes to engage in any critical thinking anyway.

responding to your lame rebuttal
Submitted by lrgon on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 12:01pm.
"...you clearly want the United States to be as weak and as whiny as possible, but we lost 3000 or so people on 11 September 2001 in a series of terrorist attacks. By [going on offense], a strategy you clearly despise, the terrorists see that the United States [is to be messed with] at their great personal risk."
Apart from the public school "grammar" your assumption that I want the United States to be "weak and whiny" has no basis.
One of America's strengths is to be free to criticize government policies especially when they fall outside the confines of the Constitution.
Citizens have guaranteed rights under the Constitution that are protected to speak out anytime a rogue president or congress violates that sacred document. Obama did it most recently with his illegal attack of Libya. The strange part of that story is that the Federal Reserve bank has been making loans to Ghadaffi's bank for years and now we are helping the Egyptian Brotherhood (terrorist organization) and some al-Qaeda cadre fight the same man US bankers were supplying with US cash! Doesn't that strike you as strange?
Going on the offensive is good on the field but we fight wars that are brought to us and we carry on a defensive war. That has been the tradition of America which held true until we joined the UN and Truman began using (misusing) US troops, not to win wars but just to be at war.
Truman sent troops to Korea to fight North Koreans and Chinese but didn't allow them to win the war! Then the idiot Truman fired McArthur who could have erased communism from all of China!
McArthur had guts! That man had them but the CFR dominated state department hamstrung him as did the Defense and Pentagon. Had Mcarthur been allowed to win the war we wouldn't have to send troops to Viet Nam. Truman stopped McArthur's offensive in Korea.
The world would be different without the evil that the communists have brought onto this planet. Today we cooperate with Russian communist Putin and Chinese communist and their surrogates in Afghanistan and Iraq to "fight a war on terrorisim!" Those people are the chief sponsors of terror organizations. They created them.
It takes "guts" to look at the world the way it really is not the way the major media tells you things are!
McArthur had guts as did Patton and most US generals who fought in both great world wars. Since Korea all US involvement in regional ,and now this idiotic no-win world-wide war on a tactic, is being used to sap our resources and destroy the few remaining freedoms we have.
McArthur told Americans that a US president and people in the State department had no intention of allowing him to be victorious against communism and so he spoke out. He had the guts to speak out but too few generals today don't have the will to tell the American people the truth that this "war on terrorism" is a phony war; that it does not take an army to kill a few terrorists in Afghanistan or elsewhere but it takes using the Constitution as it was intended and bring anyone who attacks America to justice.
We must quit partnering up with nations like Russia and China that sponsor terrorism!And we must get out of the UN.

Actually, the statement
Submitted by UpNorth on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 1:05pm.
"Truman stopped McArthur's offensive in Korea" is not quite accurate. MacArthur's offensive was stopped by 4 Communist Chinese armies, consisting of roughly 200K troops. Chinese troops who had begun showing up all along the front, and who's presence MacArthur completely ignored.
"Those people are the chief sponsors of terror organizations. They created them". If you're referring to the Russians, Chinese and the Taliban and their predecessors, you might want to recheck your facts. Actually, the CIA is the agency who helped them fight the Russians. It was the ignorance and isolationism inherent in the careerists in the DoS, that cause the US to walk away from Afghanistan after the war, that led to the religious extremists' take over there.

Two things (for starters)
Submitted by Unsane on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 7:19pm.
One, when you have nothing to attack other than "public school grammar" you have pretty much lost the argument. Two, my allegation that you want America to be as weak and whiny as possible is 100% justified and has in fact a basis. Namely, your whining over the United States taking the fight to the terrorists directly for a change. This indicates to me that you are not happy with the ability and will of the United States to go on offense in the name of defense.
You have indicated to me and others here that you want us to sit like sheep waiting to be slaughtered and wait for the next terrorist attack to happen. And when it does happen, should we do anything about it? Nah. Why, that's being a "fraidy cat". We are just supposed to grin and bear the loss of lives and property.
Do you have any evidence of this involving the Federal Reserve? I'm not taking your word for much of anything. I know the idiot in the White House has lent His support to people I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, and that's just idiotic, Federal Reserve or no. But then, we have a President who dislikes America's ability to project power as much as you do.
Strange how you mention we traditionally fight wars that "were brought to us." Really? Can you point out what Germany did to us in WWII other than declare war, which is nothing more than a diplomatic gesture? Sure, they sunk our shipping in the Atlantic, but we tolerated this for close to three years before declaring war on Germany in WWI. The Germans did nothing like Pearl Harbor. And last I checked, WWII wasn't fought "defensively" either. D-Day was a fairly offensive operation, was it not?
And reading your history of the Korean War (I have NO idea what brought that on) - which you should not like in the slightest, anyway - you reveal yourself to be a Conspiro. I for the life of me will never get this whole "CFR" thing. They publish a mag, and if you bother reading that mag, you'd see that those pencil-necked geeks couldn't run a phone booth, much less the State Department and the Department of Defense. They want to TALK about everything and ENGAGE people. That's not a recipe for effective foreign policy for anybody.
And I hate to break it to you, but we are in Afghanistan because of what happened on 11 September 2001, not because of Russia or China (and yet again we are simply supposed to take your word for it; you word is the Holy Writ around here apparently). The UN doesn't bother me quite as much as you. But then, I'm not a Conspiro; I can actually see how the UN can be used by the United States to achieve our ends. What we DO need to do is to kick the UN out of the United States. Have them go to Geneva or wherever else; turn the current HQ building in NYC into a badly needed parking garage.

The ACs need fuel to make them run
Submitted by lrgon on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 12:12am.
Getting it to the tents is costing lives. The Taliban and others wait for the convoys to pass carrying the fuel and according to this article that's when lots of guys are getting hit.
According to Steven Anderson a former Brig. General "
"When you consider the cost to deliver the fuel to some of the most isolated places in the world — escorting, command and control, medevac support — when you throw all that infrastructure in, we're talking over $20 billion,"
Anderson served as chief logistician for Gen. David Petraeus in Iraq. Anderson's $20 billion figure, disputed by the Pentagon, includes the cost of building and maintaining roads in Afghanistan, as well as securing and maintaining security operations for those roads, which are doubtless used for more than transporting fuel for air conditioning. But the cost, in both dollars and lives, of transporting that fuel is, nonetheless, staggering.
To power an air conditioner at a remote outpost in landlocked Afghanistan, fuel must be shipped into Karachi, Pakistan, then driven 800 miles over 18 days to Afghanistan on roads that are sometimes little more than "improved goat trails."
Anderson says it requires a lot of fuel to cool free-standing tents in temperatures of 125 degrees or more. The retired general estimates more than 1,000 troops have been killed in fuel convoys, prime targets for enemy attacks.

Submitted by lrgon on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 1:42am.
is far more important than trying to "democratize" nations that don't want to be democratized, either by using cruise missles or air conditioners.
During the Battle of the Bulge our Troops WWII troops were freezing to death yet they managed to turn back the nazi offensive without fuel to heat tents or barracks.
If you have a problem with me bringing up costs of coolers take it up with the general who compiled these figures or be quiet about it.
These wars in Iraq,Afghanistan and Libya are no win wars designed to bankrupt us and the air conditioning price tag is something that is just part of the total package of 4TRILLION Dollars which again I quoted from General Petraeus's chief of Logistics, General Steven Anderson.

Thanks for reaffirming the fact you are a hard-core isolationist in your first paragraph. Unfortunately for you, by going on offense and taking the fight to the terrorists, you get to enjoy the freedom you think is just there for the asking.
It is clear to me you have never spent a nanosecond in the military. When I was deployed in the desert and the generators went low, we weren't thinking of the AC. (We had plenty of water on pallets outside.) We had bigger concerns when the generators ran low. In many places the AC isn't used just for people. But then, you'd rather live in the world of theory. Maybe this explains your fixation on AC.
It's nice you quote incessantly from a logistician. I happen to be one. Hence I can discuss the subject at length if you wish. But the first thing you must learn when conversing with me is that barking orders at me is a BIG no-no. Oh, sure, you can do it, but you forfeit any respect I can have for you.
We didn't ASK for this conflict, sadly for you. They aren't designed to bankrupt us; they don't HAVE to, but since you and other refused to demand the government be as efficient as possible with its money, we run deficits and have a national debt.

And the answer is always the same - yes.
Or perhaps, it's "insanity." or just "evil."
But according to all the bozos on the left, the more you tax, the better the economy. Their end-game is 100% taxation = perfect economy.
They say that the more the government spends of your money, the better the economy. Their end-game? take 100% of my money and have bureaucrats spend it for me and the economy will boom!
And of course, the one thing the government shouldn't spend on according to the left? Defense. So, take defense spending, money that spawns innovation, ensures peace and security, and creates trickle down employment (exec, white, and blue collar workers), money directed at an activity that the feds are actually supposed to do constitutionally, and redirect it to fixing roads, giving abortions, building bridges, and saving frogs in S.F. Temporary jobs with zero innovation feeds.

Being stupid is one thing and I must agree with some theorists that perhaps G.W. Bush really was a very stupid person, a village idiot as the bumper stickers exclaimed. But even he must have known that he was following an agenda to bankrupt the USA and to transform America into a country that our fore fathers would never forgive us for allowing to happen: a stinking socialist dictatorship.

Some times I am at a loss for words on how to describe things. But this may not be the case as FC Dallas got yet another dramatic 2-2 draw against an Eastern Conference foe, this time against the Philadelphia Union.
Blas, Blas, Blas. Holy moly, thank goodness FC Dallas has this guy. If there was ever someone that worked relentlessly it was Blas Perez. His game-tying goal was what I like to call justice. Justice for the team for being down a man for 22-minutes and justice for his previous strike that did go in the back of the net.
You be the judge of that.
Oh wait, here is another angle.
I'm not saying we need goal line technology in MLS but when the center official is extremely out of the way and the sideline official isn't close enough to the corner flag on that play, it makes me very angry. That was in, we know it was in, Perez knew it was in, Matt Hedges knew it was in and you know Sheanon Williams of the Union knew it was in.
Still, good on Perez to get the equalizer when he did, and kudos to the center official for not calling a foul on London Woodberry on the play too as he crashed into keeper Zac MacMath.
Open Cup gamble failed. Let's be honest, the gamble by Schellas Hyndman in the US Open Cup didn't work out this week. Three games against three good teams in the last week and each match saw Hyndman use a very strong lineup in each game. But at some point those tired legs really began to show up in this one against the Union. I mean very early did they show up. I don't blame Hyndman too much for the gamble though, this was certainly a year that FC Dallas could have easily won the Open Cup, so why not give it your all. I mean it is possibly the easiest ticket to the Champions League anyways.
4-4-2, just not working. We've all wanted the 4-4-2 this season, having Kenny Cooper up top with Perez. But this team just isn't built to handle that formation just yet. Either it is the middle of the field not winning balls, looking at you Je-Vaughn Watson, or the wings not tracking back, now I am looking at you Jackson; this formation just didn't cut it for the majority of the match.
Thankfully David Ferreira came on late and London Woodberry came in to move into the back and the game shifted around more for Dallas. It seemed as playing down a man sort of helped them out in getting forward.
Watson the goat. The first yellow was weak but I get it. The second yellow was gutsy call by the official. It was either a dive or a penalty but in my book that wasn't a yellow worthy dive. Did Watson look for contact? Yes, but who doesn't in that situation. Did Watson embellish things a bit? Absolutely. But was it card worthy? No. The big reason why a card was shown was due to the placement on the field in my book. Officials have to make judgement calls around and in the penalty box and he did just that.
But I'm not done with the Jamaican here. His defending on the day was suspect and his marking on the first Union goal was pathetic. Stay with you man Watson, it really isn't that hard.
Hedges comes up big. I've always been asked why Dallas has so many defenders. Well, yesterday was a perfect example as to why the club is built more around defense than offense. Both George John and Zach Loyd were left at home with injuries which meant that Matt Hedges had to be the leader in the back again. Thankfully he and Walker Zimmerman played well together and Michel had another strong showing in the defense. Sometimes I question Hedges leadership skills but yesterday was a day that showed he has the chops to be a guy that can keep things calm in the back. When John and Loyd are out, he is exactly who you want to step up and for the most part yesterday he did just that.

Stockholm Palace
The Stockholm Palace or Royal Palace is the official residence and major royal palace of the Swedish Monarch. The palace is used for representative purposes by the King whilst performing his duties as the head of state. The first building on this site was a fortress with a core tower built in the 13th century by Birger Jarl to defend Lake Mälaren. The fortress grew to a palace, named Tre Kronor ("Three Crowns") after the core towers' spire. In the late 16th century, much work was done to transform the old fortress into a Renaissance-style palace under King John III. In 1690, it was decided to rebuild the palace in Baroque style after a design by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The palace has 1430 rooms, 660 with windows and is one of the largest royal palaces in the world still in use for its original purpose. The Stockholm Palace can be visited, and contains several museums.

One of the presidential candidates was in Austin Monday evening.
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson is the Libertarian presidential nominee. He'll appear on the ballot here in Texas and in all 50 states.
Johnson addressed a crowd of supporters on the UT campus, where he spoke about his "common sense business approach" to save the government.
"Best product, best service, lowest price. Less government is better government. Keep government out of the bedroom," said Johnson.
The National Review named Johnson the number one in job creation as Governor.

Inspection Requirements! - ken griffey shoes
posted by bsat
Tue, 12/04/2012 - 10:45pm
Meeting these standards requires that every operator undergo proper training before using an aerial lift foamposites for sale.Even with all of these requirements and safety regulations, falling accidents on work sites continues as the major cause of injuries and fatalities in the construction industry.
Finger-pointing does not bring any positive results; it is better to recognize that supervisors and operators must educate themselves to meet the minimum inspection requirements for overall worker protection from harm foamposites for sale. Equipment InspectionOSHA states in rule number 1929.
453(b)(2)(xii) that inspections should be done on the boom to be sure it is properly cradled and outriggers are properly placed jordan shoes cheap. OSHA also requires in rule number 1926.
453(b)(3), that operators are responsible for performing electrical tests that abide with the outlined provisions of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) air yeezy 2 for sale. Both of these rules obligate companies to perform these inspections in a manner that will detect malfunctions and defaults in any bucket truck parts to avoid injuries at the work site.
Operator Safeguards Wearing protective safety gear must be strictly implemented for operators who will perform aerial tasks in this vehicle. Either the restraining belt or body harness must be attached to the boom to prevent falling. If the worker is accidentally tossed to the edge of the boom, the safety harness or the restraining belt will hold the person and prevent falling. When working with the lift, employees should stand firmly on the bucket floor and never climb or sit on the edge of the bucket. Operator QualificationsOSHA requires that bucket trucks should only be operated by authorized individuals. These employees must be well-trained in order to operate the equipment safely. No other employees should be allowed to operate this vehicle in any way without the completed training and certification that is required by regulatory agencies and the owning business. Minimum Power Line ClearanceOperators can be exposed to other hazards such as electrocution when working at great heights. OSHA requires workers to maintain a ten-foot minimum clearance from electric power lines. They must also treat any other lines in their near vicinity as live electric wires for maximum protection. If possible, the local power company should be asked for assistance if the particular job to be done does not meet the minimum clearance requirements.Prevent MovementTo prevent movement during any aerial task or any time that the boom is extended, workers must have brakes properly set.

Heath Miller signs 6-year contract
From the Steelers official site: "Miller, who would have entered the final season of the contract he signed as a No. 1 choice in the 2005 NFL Draft, has a new six-year deal from the Steelers that binds him to the team through the 2014 season." Terms have not been announced. This is a great move. We lock up a fantastic all-around TE and outstanding person. It is a credit to the Steelers organization that they are able to get deals like this done with fantastic players. And as the article says, it shows how much Miller means as a player and a teammate that they didn't bet on the CBA, but rather signed now. I've long said Omar Khan is the most under-appreciated member of the Steelers organization - this is why. Fantastic news. What do you think -- and who should be next?

Anyone seen Surface Pro reviews with Win 7 App use experiences?
My interest in the Pro is primarily to have a decent ultrabook for travel (the usual: email, web, light media consumption) but also to have Win 8 with access to work apps: Adobe suite, Office, etc. I don't expect to do days and days of production in Illustrator, but to be able to process edits and get files to clients when I'm on a long weekend. All the reviews I've seen skew towards the typical prejudices of writers, who don't need a lot of overhead for processor intensive apps. Anyone seen a review with actual attempts to install PSD/Lightroom/AI, etc?
If anyone is going to be a Day 1 purchaser and will be doing the same, I'd really appreciate feedback on your experience.
