WARREN, Ohio - The city of Warren is expanding its tax incentive program to businesses outside of the city.
On Wednesday night, council approved, on emergency passage, to amend a current ordinance that would allow tax abatements to new businesses that develop in the city.
Now council is extending that opportunity to businesses that already exist that wish to move into the city.
"If they add new employees based on a formula, or investment in materials or machinery or anything like that, that formula is based on the taxes that the employees pay, but it benefits the business," said Vince Flask, 5th Ward Warren Councilman.
The tax incentive goes into effect immediately.

Obligatory Vacated Wins Post
Posted by William Kristoph
In no particular order:
- I'm still sick of it – I was sick of hearing about FSU vs. the NCAA months ago. I'm still sick of hearing about it. Florida State has egg on their face. Can we move on now?
- Money well spent? – We couldn't have put the legal fees defending this stupidity to a better use?
- Track National Championship – It's a shame that it had to be vacated, but in the long run the 12 football wins that were vacated are more meaningful to the general public.
- FSU Baseball – They only vacated four wins? Who is calculating the totals for Florida State? Do they have a clue?
- Timing of the announcement – On Super Bowl Sunday. That's spineless. Smart, but spineless.
- Who cares? – The future is bright for the Noles. The history books will reflect vacated wins, and in 100 years people won't really care that much. They might wonder what happened, but they won't care long enough if college football is still relevant.
Does anyone else have anything to add? I'm so tired of talking about this garbage. Leave a comment if you have something!

Deal struck to sell NH wind farm power to Mass.
Iberdrola, a Spain-based wind power giant, announced the agreement on Thursday, saying the deal would help "consolidate New Hampshire as a leader in meeting New England's renewable power needs."
"Why should New Hampshire residents be expected to sacrifice our economy and quality of life to help Massachusetts meet its Renewable Portfolio Standards goal?" said Lerner.
"We are pleased to continue investing in New Hampshire, a state helping to lead the clean energy economy," Cherian said. "Wild Meadows could serve as a significant new source of renewable power, and also generate new revenue for the towns and the state."
"We need to ask, what about New Hampshire's clean, wild places? What about New Hampshire residents' health, quality of life and sense of place?" Lerner said. "If Massachusetts is interested in pursuing renewable energy through wind projects, why don't they site the projects in their state?"

Plan for £10.5m housing scheme to help the elderly (From Daily Echo)
When news happens, text SDE and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Winchester City Council bids for Government grant for sheltered accommodation scheme
1:10pm Thursday 24th January 2013 in News
Elderly people would benefit from a proposed £10.5m housing scheme in Hampshire.
Winchester City Council has bid for a Government grant of £1.8m to help fund the Extra Care sheltered accommodation scheme.
One of the sites considered is likely to be the city council's open air car park in Chesil Street.
The proposals are for about 50 one- and two-bedroom flats with communal areas like a dining room.
The Department of Health has made £300m available for sheltered schemes through its Homes and Community Agency, and the results will be announced in May.
More detailed plans would then be drawn up and brought before the Cabinet.
The scheme could be completed within two years.

Also, did you calibrate it when you first got it (charge it completely up then completely discharge it until it falls asleep, then charge it again)? As Eniregnat implies, these things will not charge if they are already charged up to or beyond 95% to avoid overcharging the cells. :)

challenge will be to "picture" your
world through bright eyes and a willing spirit.
Just like with the turning of the seasons, you'll
find that even through subtle changes, amazing
transformations can occur right before your
the days are growing shorter (and cooler), there
is still plenty of light to capture the images
that this season was made for! With a perfect
balance of both the inward and outward focus,
you will discover a bounty of beauty to warmly
inspire your creative spirit.

Oak Lawn, Illinois - Advocate Christ Medical Center has taken a major step forward in the strengthening of its programs in orthopedic surgery with the establishment of a Bone and Joint Institute.
Formation of the new institute integrates all of the medical center's orthopedic-related clinical operations and places them under centralized medical and administrative leadership. Such centralization is expected to enhance the medical center's programs in the treatment of orthopedic trauma; sports-related injuries; degenerative diseases affecting the bones and joints, including conditions related to overuse and deterioration; joint reconstruction and replacement; spinal surgery; and orthopedic-related cancers.
At the same time, creation of the institute will facilitate long- and short-term strategic planning, recruitment of additional physician specialists in orthopedics, enhancement of patient care outcomes, advancement of research, financial management, marketing and the development of collaborative relationships to help meet orthopedic program objectives.
The Bone and Joint Institute represents the medical center's fourth such organization. The campus established three other institutes - Cancer, Heart and Vascular, and Neurosciences - in 2007.
"The vision of the Bone and Joint Institute is to be the regional provider of choice, nationally recognized for clinical innovation, with physician leaders who are committed to providing leading edge treatment options, a collaborative approach to care and a dedication to research and education, resulting in superior patient outcomes," said Dominica Tallarico, chief operating officer for Advocate Christ Medical Center and Hope Children's Hospital, in announcing the new institute.
Christ Medical Center has long been noted for offering highly effective surgical alternatives in orthopedic surgery. Innovative approaches include meniscus allograft transplantation, a procedure in which a type of cartilage (meniscus) found in the knee and other joints is taken from a donor and transplanted in a patient's knee to return the joint to full mobility without knee replacement surgery.
Terry Guymon, who also serves as executive director of the Neurosciences Institute at Christ Medical Center, is overseeing administration of the Bone and Joint Institute. Kevin Luke MD is the new institute's medical director in partnership with orthopedic department chair, Richard Lim MD.
Meanwhile, the newly established institute already has achieved its first milestone: designation as a Blue Distinction Center for Spine Surgery® and a Blue Distinction Center for Knee and Hip Replacement® by BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois. Such designation means that an institution has "demonstrated reliability in delivering spine surgery and knee and hip replacement services" with "better overall outcomes," shown a "commitment to quality care," and "offers comprehend-sive inpatient knee and hip replacement services, including total knee replacement, total hip replacement and hip resurfacing."
# # #
About Advocate Christ Medical Center Recognized nationally by Thomson Reuters as a 100 Top Hospital for cardiovascular care, Advocate Christ Medical Center is part of Advocate Health Care, which is one of the nation's leading health care networks.

Five top-14 teams lost this week, and LSU is SEC Iowa. In any case, little beyond the title game is as it would have been projected at the start of the year, or even last week.
BCS bowls:
BCS Title: Texas (Big 12) vs. Florida (SEC)
Rose: Oregon (Pac 10) vs. Ohio State (B10)
Fiesta: Oklahoma State (at-large) vs. TCU (MWC/in top 8)
Sugar: Alabama (SEC) vs. Cincinnati (Big East)
Orange: Georgia Tech (ACC) vs. Penn State (at-large)
Here's the logic
BCS title game:
Although 'Bama looked better this week, I'm not going to flip my SEC championship game winner pick every week.
Other conference champions:
Ohio State earned the Rose Bowl bid by beating Iowa. I'm still projecting Oregon as Pac 10 champ because they're a game up on everybody else. With more than one or two games left, I think I'd go with Stanford, but I don't think there's time for the Cardinal to catch the Ducks.
Georgia Tech goes to the Orange as ACC champ; they have their division wrapped up, which means the usual Virginia Tech wins the ACC story won't happen, and it's hard to see them losing the ACC title game (presumably to Clemson, as they have tiebreakers). Though it's the ACC, so stranger things have happened.
Cinci is still projected to win the Big East but it's getting extremely tempting to switch that to Pitt. TCU is guaranteed a bid as a non-BCS confernce champ in the top 8. Both the polls and computers prefer them to Boise.
The Fiesta chooses first to replace Texas. Last week's carnage in the #9-#17 ranks, combined with Oklahoma State's win over Texas Tech, means the Cowboys will likely be available. And I'm no longer projecting two Pac 10 teams as available.
The Sugar chooses next to relace Florida. Since they've got dibs on another SEC team, and Alabama just might end up with an automatic spot by virtue of being in the top 4 even if they lose, they take the Tide here.
Thanks to Oklahoma State getting into the mix, the Orange is able to snatch up the second Big Ten team. I like Penn State better than Iowa for that, though there are arguments either way.
The Fiesta then has to select an opponent, and TCU because geography says its prferable to Cinci.
And Alabama has to play Cinci in the Sugar Bowl.
Big East bowls
Gator/Sun: Pitt. I know a lot of people are still projecting Notre Dame here, but the Irish won't beat Stanford, and I've got to think they'd need a lot of luck to beat UConn. Of course, UConn's had bad luck all year. Anyway, 6-6 ND doesn't go here, and 7-5 ND is a reach.
Meineke/Charlotte: This one really depends on the ND/UConn game. If Notre Dame wins, they go here; otherwise, WVU does. I'm projecting WVU.
International Bowl/Toronto: ... and the Irish aren't in the International Bowl deal. So Rutgers goes here.
PapaJohns.com Bowl/Birmingham: USF; it looks likely they'll be bowl eligible, and non-WVU Big East teams and CUSA teams can't be counted on to sell tickets
St. Petersburg Bowl: UConn
staying home for the holidays: Syracuse
staying home for the holidays and firing the coach: Louisville

Common lottery scams
Don't let fraud ruin your fun!
There is only one National Lottery in the UK and it exists to raise money for The National Lottery Good Causes in a responsible way. Although The National Lottery website is safe and secure, you need to be on your guard against fraudsters using emails, letters or calls.
Scam emails try to persuade the recipient to submit personal information or to part with money as an upfront payment in order to release a 'winning' lottery prize.
Remember – if you or your syndicate did not buy a lottery ticket, there is absolutely no chance that you have won.
What do scammers want?
- Your money in order to release a 'winning' lottery prize that does not exist.
- Your personal information in order to steal your identity.
How do they succeed?
Their methods change constantly but scammers will typically use emails, phone calls or letters.
The fraudster will tell you that you have won a prize and that you need to pay a fee to receive it. They use real organisations' logos such as Camelot, EuroMillions, The National Lottery, the European Union or even the United Nations.
Spoof websites (known as 'phishing')
Spoof websites look very real and persuade users to enter personal information such as passwords and memorable information. They will then re-use this information to access your account. The National Lottery would never ask you to send emails with confidential information.
Customers get emails claiming to be from official websites asking them to click on a link within the email to the 'spoof' site. Spoof websites can be difficult to spot. To make sure you're on our site, type www.national-lottery.co.uk into your browser.
Top tips for recognising a scam
- If you (or your syndicate) did not buy a lottery game, you cannot win anything.
- Camelot, the operator of The National Lottery, will not email you to tell you how much you have won.
- We don't ask for any personal information like name, address or bank details in an email.
- The National Lottery will only send you emails from the following accounts:
– email@example.com
– email@example.com
– email@example.com
– firstname.lastname@example.com
– firstname.lastname@example.com
– email@example.com
– firstname.lastname@example.com.
- If you think you have been the victim of a scam, contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
Top tips to protect yourself
- Never send any upfront fees required in order to 'claim your prize'.
- If you wish to discuss your Account with us, we will always verify your identity by asking specific security questions. Our National Lottery Customer Care Team does not have access to your full password.
- Don't click on links in unsolicited emails even if they contain a real company's name or logo.
- If you wish to visit a particular website, always type the address directly in your browser rather than using a link in an email.
- Never give personal or account details to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. Be suspicious, even if they claim to be from The National Lottery, your bank or the police.

According to a new article on health.com, lactose intolerant people may be able to enjoy cow's milk.
Scientist say that milk produced from genetically modified calves could be the answer. The milk does not contain B.L.G., the protein that is believed to trigger allergies.
The experiment detailed in "The National Academy of Sciences", was the first time researchers have altered the protein composition of milk before it leaves the cow.

Select Route:
This route is a great way to get out onto P-Wall. It starts in the steep gully to the left of P-wall (climb 2 in the topo), ascending the "flank", and then stepping out onto the face. Slot a small Camalot at the start to protect the starting moves. Climb up, making awkward moves that demand attention. At the arete, clip the last bolt and make a thin and airy traverse directly across to anchors. Either rap P-crack or continue up "Letterman."
Three bolts with some small gear placements possible. Tops out at bolted P-Crack belay.

Ola and welcome to another edition of 158 Fridays, this week, I am bringing you a man who has made his name synonymous with word "Awesome" to 75 graphers, some envy him, some want to be him, well I say shame to those with such thoughts - The man in his own words has summoned what I like to define graphers I have interviewed " When it comes to photography I prefer to be a generalist"
His name is Diaan Mynhardt of dreamfoundry & 75
and he hails from the capital city South Africa
For photograhic bookings: firstname.lastname@example.com
What is your occupation?
My career has gone through a few iterations. I started off in 2002 designing graphics for software interfaces in a super dead-end job. I did this until 2004 when the company I was working for had some financial difficulties and laid off a bunch of people, including me.
Having had my taste of working for bosses I decided not to do that again, and with my girlfriend at the time started a small, I guess you could say freelance, design studio called Dreamfoundry Design. (To this day I use Dreamfoundry as my nick on most websites.) Design soon morphed in to web design, so that's what I did for a few more years.
So, to finally answer your question, I'm currently floating in a sort of no-man's land between what's left of my design career and the birth of my career as a photographer.
Where do you live and work?
I live and work in a great, big top-floor apartment in the old east of Pretoria. I converted what used to be my sitting room in to a studio. I have a great view of Pretoria while I work.
Can you tell us a little more about yourself, your answers above are interesting?
I was born and raised here in Pretoria by two university professor parents - a mathematician and a social psychologist, and yes, that's exactly as weird as it sounds.
After school I studied computer science at the University of Pretoria for just long enough to know that programming is best left to the sort of people who like spending entire lifetimes fighting with computers. No thank you, sir.
I landed the job I eventually got retrenched from at this stage. At the same time I started studying a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree through Unisa. Eventually, after what I like to call my "gap decade", I ended up where I am now.
How did you get into Photography?
In 2009, on a whim, I got myself an old Pentax ME-Super 35mm film camera to play with. I'd taken photos with various digital cameras before then, but never seriously. When I saw what came out of that camera I fell in love with it. I still use it.
Why do you love Photography?
Oh, that's the hardest question to answer. It's a tempestuous relationship you could say. A favourite photographer of mine, Toyin Ibidapo, was quoted as saying that taking a photo is like falling in love. When I read that I felt that she took the words straight from my mind. Photography is a really personal thing for me. It is only when
I take photos that I feel alive inside. Some days I really hate photography, or maybe just specific photos I took that I'm just not happy with. Days like these, when I'm my own worst critic, can be rough.
What is your proudest career moment?
Oh, I hardly feel as if my career has even started. Maybe ask me a few years from now. Being part of an amazing community of photographers on 75.co.za makes
me proud, even though it's not strictly speaking my career at all.
Who if anyone has influenced your work?
Right now the biggest influences on my work would be Toyin Ibidapo and Nelli Palomäki. Neither of them are well known, but do yourself a favour and look them up.
When I started out I found Joe McNally to be a great explanation. He can explain anything to even the biggest photo dummy, and he's funny too.
If you could give someone just starting out one piece of advice, what
would it be?
Submerse yourself in your work and make it your obsession. That's the only way you'll ever be good. If you can't do that the most you'll ever be is someone with an expensive hobby. A second piece of advice, if I may, would be to spend some time shooting with film. Digital is wonderful, and flexible, but the real magic of photography is hidden at the end of a roll of film.
What is hardest thing about photography today?
Probably having to listen to everybody having pissing contests about which brand of camera is best. I think they're all missing the point. But apart from that, the hardest part is probably to get one's work noticed in a saturated sea of information, art, design, music... Culture in general. It's really a jungle out there.
What do you think the future holds for Photographers?
Oh, it's hard to tell. There are always amazing technological advances around every corner, but in the end that's secondary. There will always be a need for people who capture those special moments, places and people. So, as long as you can keep your eyes open and your finger on the shutter there will be a place for you.
Tell us something about yourself that people wouldn't expect?
Well... Shucks. I can fire dance. I used to even do shows with a troupe of performers when I was younger. People never expect that.
Thank you for your time Diaan and thank you reader for reading, till next week's post.

I love puffy dresses. Any dress with a puffy skirt and a fitted top is bound to find itself in my closet. I love the dresses that remind me of the 60′s, where skirts were full and bosoms covered, yet curves were never hidden. I love the lady like feel to them and am drawn to their display of femininity. Currently, the Spring lines feature these dresses in shorter ham lines and bright colors which make them even more fun. I love this dress because it's unique in it's color and the fit is absolutely fantastic. It has a slip that I couldn't use as it just didn't seem to fit right, but thankfully I already had a slip that worked with this dress. I wasn't really sure which shoes to wear as black seemed a little inappropriate and ballet flats which I own in pale colors didn't do the trick. I saw these pumps at Nordstroms and had to have them. They are very feminine, yet because they are covered in shiny spikes, they fit the modern trend. However, I did have to exchange them three times as they run quite big.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Bonnie and Clyde: Romeo and Juliet in a Getaway Car
No Way Back
"Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid."
I'm In the Mood For Love
J. McHugh, D. Fields
In evaluating Clyde Barrow's ability to side-step the police and humiliate every roadblock and trap along the thousands of miles of highway he traveled, one must consider the expedient arrest of every accomplice once away from Clyde's uncanny navigation. Ralph Fults was immediately apprehended after the Kauffman, Texas, affair and Ray Hamilton, having bid Clyde an adieu to visit his father in Michigan was forthwith taken in that state.
Clyde Barrow fully understood his position. If caught, he would surely die in the electric chair. While this knowledge inspired his sagacity, speed and aggressiveness, it sometimes caused him ill-temper and self-chastisement. In short, he was beginning to feel weighed down by his crimes. He would often turn darkly irrepressible.
He was in such a mood when he and Bonnie robbed the Little Food Store in Sherman, Texas. When proprietor Howard Hill sarcastically smart-mouthed him, Clyde found himself yanking the trigger in anger. Witnesses who had seen the pair emerge from the grocery Clyde's gun barrel still smoking as well as a counter clerk who had stood beside Hall when he fell, all identified the killer.
Bonnie and Clyde were now front-page material, but they rarely stopped in any town long enough to read what was beginning to be their lives' story. For them, it was back in the car and off again on a zig-zag, never-ending auto marathon. The police who pursued found Clyde stealthy and they found him smart. Because he methodically worked many border towns, he was able to pull across the state lines where the local constables couldn't pursue.
Tired of the penny-ante nickel-and-dime stuff that garnered few bucks and another notch in his gun, he decided to hit a few banks. After a roulette of store holdups in and around Carthage, Missouri, where they hid out in a deserted backwoods cabin, Clyde eyed the what-seemed-to-be prosperous Oswego Bank on Nov. 30, 1932. Bonnie had gone in the previous day, pretending to be interested in opening an account, merely to case the layout. She had returned with an excellent description. Now, while Bonnie waited at the wheel, Clyde approached a teller and being none too conspicuous, flashed a .38 in her face and demanded money from her drawer. An alert guard saw the gun and popped a shot at the robber, but missed. Realizing his predicament, Clyde grabbed the only money available in a flash, some $80 lying open at the teller's cage, and left, ducking the shots of the intent but poorly aimed guard.
Their first bank job was a failure, but not so much as the small-town bank he chose to stickup the following day. Rushing into its foyer, this time brandishing his guns and yawping like a savage to discourage any would-be guard, he encountered a deserted building. He glowered at the empty teller grids, the desks carpeted with dust and the wall clock that had long quit working, and left in a huff feeling like Fortune's fool.
They returned to Texas to spend Christmas with their families, even if it meant a brief reunion in one of a number of out-of-the-way groves around Dallas. Clyde felt that he needed to add another member to his gang. Since Ray Hamilton had left there had been no one to stand watch while he and Bonnie slept at whatever river bed, backroad or orchard they decided to nod a head when they became weary.
Clyde had known the Jones family since childhood and had always considered their boy, William Daniel, a kid with moxie. Quite a few years younger than Clyde, W.D. as he was called noticeably idolized Clyde and now made overtures to join his famous gang. The latter needed to consider Jones was only 16 years old and still somewhat "wet behind the ears" but then again he could handle a car and, being tall and exceedingly muscular for his age, might come in handy if brute force were needed. When Bonnie and Clyde departed Dallas on Christmas Eve, their ranks had risen.
The following day, on Christmas, 1932, Jones' recruitment proved lethal. It was time to steal another car and Clyde figured that W.D. would be good at that after all, he had stolen many in his youth or so he told Clyde. Driving through the little postcard town of Temple, Texas, the gang spotted a new Ford Coupe V-8 parked out front a frame house at 606 S. 13th Street. Having by now driven an assortment of automobiles, Clyde had become a good judge of motorworks; he particularly liked the trigger-pin acceleration and roominess of that particular model Ford.
It was broad daylight on 13th Street as Clyde drew up alongside their mark. He instructed W.D. to jump out to see if the keys had been left in the ignition and, if so, follow him and Bonnie out of town where they could transfer their gear from one car to another. But, the boy was nervous; this being his first assignment for the indomitable Barrow Gang. Nervous fingers could not turn over the car.
"You have to pump the gas!" Clyde yelled. "Just a couple times pump it!"
W.D.'s intermittent attempts to spark the motor merely awoke the neighbors who looked out their front windows at the annoying sputter. From his parlor window John Doyle looked out to find strangers berthed in the front seat of his new pride and joy. By this time Clyde had shoved Jones aside and was trying himself to start the auto. The engine flooded, the air reeked of gasoline fumes. Several more sporadic twists of the key finally ignited the buggy. Kicking in, rumbling, the engine calmed and purred.
However, car-owner Doyle had reached the running board. One hand grabbed Clyde by the tie knot, while the other groped for the key from the dashboard. Clyde couldn't shake the aggressor. Residents began spilling onto their front porches, pointing, yelling, accusing. From the other car, Bonnie cried, "Forget about the car, Clyde, leave him alone and let's get out of here!" W.D., not knowing what else to do, sat beside Clyde and whimpered.
Clyde had his gun out and swung to butt his attacker from him, but Doyle in turn grabbed the revolver. In doing so, one finger plucked the sensitive trigger. The weapon roared. Clyde felt the grip on his neck loosen as the other's expression drastically altered. The clumsy angle of the gun had sent a bullet into Doyle's chest. Pushing the now lifeless form onto the curb, Clyde accelerated off 13th Street, Bonnie behind him in the other car. And W.D. still whimpered.

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
Taking the lead from one of its franchise owners who gave the gift of life to an employee, Charley's Grilled Subs® will give their own gift this month to further the National Kidney Foundation's (NKF) life-saving work.
Throughout Philly CheeseSteak Month, celebrated in January, Charley's will donate a portion of each sandwich sold to support the NKF's work in research, patient services, public and professional education, advocacy and organ donation.
"We were all moved to witness such an act of faith and kindness by Charley's franchisee, Marcus Gilbert, who donated his kidney to save the life of a 16-year-old employee, Juan Delgado," shares James Pa, Senior Director of Marketing for Charley's. "Partnering with the National Kidney Foundation was a simple extension of Charley's commitment to strengthening our neighbors."
Juan's battle with end-stage kidney disease began three years ago. Juggling school and mounting health problems, Juan had difficulty finding and holding on to a job. In March 2008, Marcus stepped forward and offered him a position at Charleys in University Mall in Orem, Utah, but his giving didn't stop there. Marcus donated his kidney to Juan this past fall.
"There are more than 100,000 Americans currently on the national waiting list for organ transplants," says John Davis, National Kidney Foundation CEO. "Partnerships, like the one NKF shares with Charley's Grilled Subs, help support our efforts to educate the public about the life-saving power of organ donation and provide support to organ donors and their families."

Krauthammer: Huntsman's 'Fatal Problem' as Candidate - People Like Newsweek's Evan Thomas Like Him
Newsweek's Evan Thomas said on Friday's "Inside Washington" that former Ambassador Jon Huntsman's big problem in getting the Republican presidential nomination is he's "too moderate" and "people like me like him."
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer humorously agreed saying this was a "fatal problem" for Huntsman (video follows with transcript and commentary):
EVAN THOMAS, NEWSWEEK: The 64 dollar question is Huntsman.
MARK SHIELDS, PBS: Yes.
THOMAS: I mean, Mitch Daniels was, was going to be great, except that his wife didn't want him to do it, and I guess his polls were bad, so he's not going to do it. He's gone. But Huntsman is the big question, because he's got some charisma which Pawlenty lacks. He is too moderate, people like me like him which is a big problem for him in the Republican Party…
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Absolutely a big problem.
THOMAS: …and probably a fatal problem.
KRAUTHAMMER: A fatal problem.
THOMAS: But he's an attractive candidate, people are going to watch him.
Yes, but as Krauthammer pointed out on last Friday's "Inside Washington," mainstream media support of a Republican candidate is a Trojan horse.
Conservatives are far better off with a candidate people like Thomas hate.
Such a person shouldn't be too tough to find, should it?

Huntsman's 'Fatal Problem' is a disease known as RINO-itis
Submitted by Dave. on Sat, 05/28/2011 - 1:57pm.
It is a mutation of another more serious illness spreading on the other side of the aisle known as commie-itis, and is a malady that has been growing unchecked for years that has now deeply infected the GOP at all levels.
We sent some people who had told us they were not susceptible to this illness to DC last November in an effort to halt its progression. Unfortunately, most of them appear to have contracted this hideous disease as well.
If it is not eradicated, or at least sharply brought under control within the next 18 months or so, it is going to combine with its parent disease and kill this republic so quickly you aren't going to believe it.

Tenebrous.......If you won't support our Republican nominee,
Submitted by Rush Fan on Mon, 05/30/2011 - 1:49am.
regardless of who it is, does that mean you would rather see Obama reelected for four more years than vote for a Republican nominee that did not meet your expectations? Are you really saying that a RINO Republican, if that is who is nominated (let's hope not), is worse than Barack Obama? Even John McCain, who I had to hold my nose very tightly to vote for, would have been a better President than Barack Obama.
We need a conservative in The White House. But even more importantly, we need, we MUST send Barack Obama back to Illinois!
I believe there is a good chance that we will take the Senate in 2012. But if we don't have the Presidency, it will be very difficult to repeal ObamaCare, change our current energy policy, and pass other legislation that will finally head us in the right direction.

Jon Huntsman is as RINO as you can get, without being described
Submitted by Rush Fan on Sat, 05/28/2011 - 3:33pm.
as a Democrat or left-wing. In fact, in some circles Huntsman would be described as a LIBERAL.
For example, The Daily Caller has put together a VIDEO highlighting Huntsman's RINO positions. Huntsman also said the following about President Obama:
Dear Mr. President,
I am most grateful for the graciousness and kindness you have shown me and my family – particularly your confidence in my ability to represent you in China. Mary Kaye and I will begin our journey tomorrow – leaving behind a state we love – but also anticipating an extraordinary experience in Beijing. You are a remarkable leader – and it has been a great honor getting to know you. Jon
Finally, it is not only Lefty Evan Thomas who would like Huntsman to be the Republican running against Obama. CNN and Daily Beast contributor John Avalon, who also is a co-founder of NO LABELS, a supposedly "Centrist" group, but more accurately a Center Left group, writes in a CNN article titled: Why Democrats don't want Huntsman to run
"Nonetheless, it would be a big mistake to count Huntsman out. He has a path to the nomination and the distinction of being the Republican candidate that Democrats would least like to run against in the fall of 2012."

Opel Meriva Prototype loses a little more camouflage
The Opel Meriva has been spotted once again while undergoing testing in preparation for its expected unveiling next year. Camouflage treatment on this particular prototype is slightly different to previous photos caught by spy photographers.
The shape of both headlights and taillights are clearly visible, and the engineers continued efforts to hide the door handles and hinges are almost comical. The Meriva will sport a suicide door layout, a feature that will be known as "flexdoors" by the Opel brand come production time.
Our sources claim the Meriva will be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show which is a good 12 months away, but don't be surprised to see the new MPV make an earlier appearance in Geneva.

There is less sand and more empty space in one Boone County highway garage Monday night.
Sand is critical to the snow fight in the county. It's mixed 3-to-1 with salt, which has been in high demand and tight supply because of heavy winter storms around the country.But Boone and other central Indiana counties tell us they've got enough salt on hand to get through the Tuesday-Wednesday storm and a second snowfall, as well.
Winter Storm Warning for central IndianaIn Hamilton County, they will add sand to their salt, too, to help stretch their salt supply."Our preference would be to use straight salt and not have to use sand. The sand, when it's icy on hills and curves, can help with traction as well," Highway Director Bradley Davis said.From Hamilton to Boone to Indy to INDOT, all tell us they've got enough material on hand to combat the snow.It may take twice as long to get them delivered, but salt and sand are coming in.On I-65 Monday night, we saw the tell-tale zebra stripes laid down on the blacktop. It shows INDOT has dropped salt brine down in advance of the storm to prevent snow from freezing.While Monday's commute home was a smooth one, Tuesday's could be a problem. The heavy stuff could be falling by then."In storms with a lot of snow and wind, people can actually become stranded on the roadway and have trouble getting out. That hinders our ability to get the roads open. It's a 'be cautious' type of thing," said Davis."My fiance is probably going to be traveling then on I-465. She's probably going to be trying to work her hours around to not...navigate in that," motorist John Bischoff said."I think they'll be worried. Be cold, lots of snow and talking ice, so yeah, sounds bad. Bad so far all this winter," said motorist Scott Kikendall.INDOT says it all depends on the timing - when the hardest stuff falls and where the line finally settles between the snow and wintry mix.

God tests the prophet Abraham's faith in a famous story from the Bible and the Torah in which he calls Abraham to sacrifice Isaac (his only son), but then shows mercy just before Abraham is about to kill Isaac and promises to bless Abraham's family throughout coming generations because of Abraham's trust in God.
A major figure in the story is an angel who calls out twice to Abraham from heaven. The text identifies the angel as the Angel of the Lord (a manifestation of God in angelic form), but some people suggest that it could be Zadkiel, the archangel of mercy.
Genesis 22:1-18 of both the Bible and the Torah tells the story: "Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, 'Abraham!'
'Here I am,' he replied.
Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love -- Isaac -- and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.'
Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
He said to his servants, 'Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.'
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, 'Father?'
'Yes, my son?' Abraham replied.
'The fire and wood are here,' Isaac said, 'but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?'
Abraham answered, 'God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.' And the two of them went on together.
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, 'Abraham! Abraham!'
'Here I am,' he replied.
'Do not lay a hand on the boy,' he said. 'Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.'
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place 'The LORD Will Provide.' And to this day it is said, 'On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.'
The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, 'I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.'"
Who Was the Angel?
Many people believe that the angel in the passage is just who he declares himself to be: God, appearing in angelic form. The angel says "Now that I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me" in verse 12 and "I swear by myself, declares the Lord" in verse 16. When the Angel of the Lord appears throughout the Torah and Old Testament, he acts distinctly different than other angels -- more like the Creator than a created being.
Jill Shannon writes about this passage in Genesis in her book The Seduction of Christianity: Overcoming the Lukewarm Spirit of the Church that the angel here is clearly the Angel of the Lord: "In Genesis 22, we read the terrible account of Abraham's greatest test: would he obey the Lord's word and sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, although he was the promised son through whom all of Abraham's descendants would come? ... We know that the Angel of the Lord stopped Abraham at the last second. This was as close as he could have come to slaying his own son."
However, some people believe that the angel in this passage is archangel Zadkiel, since he serves as the angel of mercy and the angel here is showing mercy to Abraham and Isaac.
Zadkiel is credited within the Jewish rabbinical tradition as the one showing mercy to Abraham and Isaac, write Stewart Pearce and Richard Crookes in their book The Angels of Atlantis: Twelve Mighty Forces to Transform Your Life Forever: "Zadkiel is revered within the rabbinical tradition for the vast compassion bestowed upon truly significant individuals. For example, it is suggested that Zadkiel is the angel who stayed the hand of Abraham from slaughtering his son, Isaac."
Gustav Davidson writes in his book A Dictionary of Angels, Including the Fallen Angels that people have sometimes credited other angels as well as Zadkiel: "To Zadkiel (as also to Michael, Tadhiel, and others) is ascribed by some writers the act of holding back Abraham's arm when the patriarch was about to sacrifice his son Isaac."
Foreshadowing a Future Sacrifice?
Many Christians believe that the Angel of the Lord is Jesus Christ appearing prior to his incarnation later in history, and they say that this passage in the Bible's Old Testament (in which God mercifully provides a ram as a substitutionary sacrifice to pay for sins) foreshadows the New Testament's record of the sacrificial death of Christ (whom the Bible calls the "Lamb of God") on the cross to pay for sins.
Joseph Free and Howard Frederic Vos write in their book Archaeology and Bible History: "When Abraham went up to the mount and stretched forth his hand, he had already accomplished the sacrifice in his own heart and had fully met the testing of God. God therefore immediately had the Angel of the Lord intervene and show Abraham that the ram was the offering provided by God himself to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. The ram offered in Isaac's stead is a beautiful illustration of Christ's substitutionary death. Christ died on the cross not only to pay for our sins, but actually in our stead, in our place, just as the ram died for Isaac."
In The Seduction of Christianity, Shannon connects the mercy that God showed to Isaac with the mercy that God shows sinful people through Jesus Christ: "And so Isaac walked into his old age from that very moment in the fear of the Lord. In God's mercy, a ram suddenly appeared in the thickets to save his life. ... If God rescued you at the last second from literal death, would you walk for the rest of your life in the fear of the Lord? Wouldn't our petty offenses and selfishness fade away, under the shadow of death and the haven of rescue? But we are also rescued ones.We were under the death sentence of eternity in torment. ... But God provided a Lamb to die in our place, to save our life. Do we understand what the Lord did for us, and do we walk like Isaac?"

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF: Garden City's Cook places 5th in state
AUSTIN — Britni Cook was hard to miss as she made her way around Lions Municipal Golf Course in Austin on Friday for the final round of the UIL Class 1A State Golf Tournament.
The Garden City senior fired an 82 for the second-straight day to finish fifth in the medalist standings, all while being followed by a swarm of Bearkat supporters clad in bright read shirts emblazoned with "I B.C." on the front.
"The support is wonderful," said Cook, who finished three spots higher than she did in last year's state tournament. "I enjoy it, and they enjoy it probably more than I do. They like watching me play, and I just love having the support that I have."
Cook's personal gallery followed her every move, some in carts and some on foot, young and old alike intently focused on each stroke.
"It starts with the grannies," Garden City golf coach Koby Abney said. "Her two grandmothers have been at every tournament, bringing cookies for the entire team. I'm going to miss that. And it goes all the way back to her older brother Marcus. It's been seven years since we had a tournament without the grannies there. I don't know what I'm going to do next year."
The supporters saw Cook's scoring consistency keep her near the top of the leader board and in contention the entire day, finishing just three strokes shy of 1A individual champion April Barnett of Memphis.
"The front nine was just like I played yesterday," Cook said. "The back nine was completely different than I've been playing like the past two days. If I would have played (the back nine) like I did yesterday, I would have shot a lot better. But I'm happy because I was consistent and I couldn't ask for much more. I just wanted to finish higher (in the standings) than I did last year."
Jordan Gartman, from a tradition-rich Robert Lee program that has won seven state golf titles, struggled in Friday's final round but still made the top 10, finishing ninth overall.
The junior Lady Steer came into the clubhouse with an 89 after shooting 83 in Thursday's opening round.
"Sometimes at Robert Lee we take it for granted sometimes because we've been here so many times," coach Wayne Alexander said. "But it's not that easy. She did a great job at regionals and she did a good job today. To finish in the top 10 at the state tournament, there's a lot of other kids that aren't going to do that."
Gartman was overall pleased with her finish, having improved from last year's tournament, which she played in with the Robert Lee girls team.
She said a couple of bad shots to start the day made an impact on her final round.
"The experience was great," Gartman said. "It's really fun to get to come down here and play."
"The front nine was just ugly, but I came back on the back nine and finished pretty strong," she said. "I didn't do as good as I wanted to, but I always have next year."
Alexander said he's confident Gartman will make a third appearance at state in her senior year, hopefully with the entire Robert Lee team again.
"I think she will," he said. "She's a hardworking kid. I don't think a lot of people realize how hard these kids work to get down here. Being here last year with the team I think helped her. She improved this year and I think she'll improve next year. She'll get better and learn how to deal with the pressure. It's a lot different down here.
"I don't care how many times you've been, it's still a big deal."
Memphis took the 1A girls team championship, winning by 39 strokes over runner-up Grapeland.
On the boys side, the Bronte Longhorns improved their standing after Day 1, shaving 10 strokes off Thursday's combined score to finish tied for fourth.
"They definitely improved," Bronte golf coach Brooke Sanford said. "Tough golf course and kind of a different experience for all five of them. I'm proud of them. It's not what we wanted or what we expected, but it was a good finish, and anytime you're in the top eight in the state of Texas, you can't beat that."
Sophomore Ty Lee led the team with a combined two-day total of 169 (87, 82) to finish fourteenth overall.
Senior Creed Coalson (93-87—180), freshman Joshua Puentez (90-93—183), freshman Lance Burns (102-100—202) and senior Beau Grigg (103-101—204) rounded out the Longhorns' score card.
Sanford said with the experience gained by playing in the state tournament, along with the young talent coming up in the program, Bronte could make another trip to Austin next spring.
"They've got a bright future," she said. "We've got some other freshmen that are playing decent, and if they'll get out and play this summer, they'll have a good chance of coming back here next year.
"I'm very proud. It's exciting and I'm glad they got to experience it, because it doesn't happen very often."
Rankin won the boys team title, while Martin's Mill finished six strokes back as the runner-up.

President Obama had a message yesterday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: "Simply put, it is past time to stop talking about starting negotiations, and time to move forward," he said. But while the American president may have succeeded in getting the two leaders together for a short meeting and a photo-op, he failed to win any concessions, with Netanyahu refusing to freeze Israeli settlements on the West Bank. Expectations of the event were low, but pundits are still dubbing it a dud for both the peace process and the leaders' reputations.
- An Embarrassing Moment for Obama, Andrew Sullivan writes at The Atlantic.
The Israeli prime minister is uninterested in doing the one thing that the president of the United States has asked for: freezing settlements in the land seized by Israel in 1967 as a way to jump-start negotiations. If Netanyahu won't agree to this, why should he agree to anything significant? And what, one wonders, can the administration do that could actually pressure the Israelis to realize that the US is serious?
- Disaster For Obama and Abbas, Uni Avnery declared Tikkun Magazine. "The threefold summit did indeed take place. But instead of a shining achievement for the new American administration, we witnessed a humbling demonstration of weakness. After Obama was compelled to give up his demand for a settlement freeze, the meeting no longer had any content."
- The American President Looks Weak, says an editorial in The Telegraph. Obama, they say, looks ineffectual.
The President's inspirational rhetoric seems to have made precious little impact on the region. The Israelis are doggedly persisting with illegal settlement construction, while Washington's constant appeals to Arab leaders to make minor concessions, such as granting Israeli civilian aircraft over-flight rights, have met with a resounding silence.
- No Victory for Netanyahu, Shmuel Rosner warns at The New Republic.
True, Obama had to draw down his overeager demands from Israel. But it is also true that Netanyahu, not long ago, had to reverse his opposition to a two-state-solution and publicly declare that his goal is similar to the one espoused today by Obama. True, Abbas was dragged to the summit only days after insisting that he will not come to any meeting unless settlement construction is frozen first. But it is also true that Netanyahu, the head of the right-wing Likud Party, is one of the first Israeli prime ministers to agree to some form of settlement freeze.

No rigid rules, labels or dogmas.... just REAL food, for your body, mind & soul!
As the year is about to renew on our Western calendar, changing the way we perceive and speak about our world may be one way we can make a difference for the better.
Is it possible that we can change the world just by changing the way we use words?
Can we create more harmony by using more gentle and harmonious words and using them consciously and more often?
Can we disempower words that disempower people by not using them and finding better, more constructive options.
Every word has a real meaning and euphemisms or soft options aren't helpful in the same way that negativity and judgement aren't helpful.
Name calling and discriminatory labelling is divisive and disconnecting and needs to change. It doesn't matter where it happens across the planet it has the same destructive effect.
So perhaps a New year's resolution might be -to use words as healing and connecting tools as we strive to conserve, restore and sustain our hurting world and planet.
Positive, empowering, genuine words spoken with care and compassion can be life changing.
Blessings to you and yours in 2013

I love this Maureen! What a blessing you are! So genuine, authentic, present, smart, inspiring and encouraging!
Yes, words matter! This is beautifully said! Thank you! Lynda
This is a beautiful idea!
Lovely to hear from you all. I have heard this quote before too and find it powerful. We need to keep reminding ourselves, as Susan also helps us to do, that we are indeed powerful and can really make a difference in our own lives and wider afield.
Totally agree! Happy New Year 2013
The power of WORD. <3 to you Maureen
Wouah...Meherbani these are powerful sentences!
I am going to really watch what I say! Thank you.
I am all for speaking goooood words!!!
just this morning, typed similarly themed idea in my FB timeline:
"The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its way with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings". The Buddha
thanks for sharing and the best to you and yours in 2013.
this is a beautiful and powerful contribution, Maureen. Our language literally shapes our consciousness and our experience.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSStart Of Ex-Mingo Commissioner's Sentence Delayed
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Apr. 4, 2014 4:51 PM EDT
Updated: Apr. 4, 2014 5:08 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A former Mingo County commissioner who is battling prostate cancer can wait two more months to begin serving a sentence on an extortion conviction.
The Charleston Gazette reports a federal judge in Charleston approved David Baisden's request Thursday to delay the start of his sentence until June 13. The 67-year-old Delbarton resident was supposed to report on Friday.
Baisden's attorney, Jim Cagle, had said in a motion that Baisden is undergoing radiation therapy five times a week.
Baisden was sentenced in January to more than a year and a half in prison. He pleaded guilty in October to trying to buy tires for his personal vehicle at a government discount in 2009, then terminating the county's contract with Appalachian Tire when it refused to cooperate.

Vin Mazzaro is famous for one outing (and what an outing it was) that occurred one year ago tomorrow. But what else do we need to know about the best Royals pitching prospect with a last name containing two z's, one r, and not named Odorizzi.
He was acquired 11/10/10 in the David Dejesus trade along with pitcher Jason Marks. In his 2 partial seasons with Oakland, he had pitched in 41 games, starting 35 of them, and went 10-17, posting a 4.72 ERA in 213 IP, with a 1.573 WHIP, and FIPs of 4.93/5.13 and xFIP of 5.03/4.55 for 2009 and 2010, respectively. At the time, he was 23 years old, and his underwhelming perihperals and performance in Oakland led one Freneau to declare:
The bottom line is this: the Royals didn't get back anything in this trade. Vin Mazzaro posted below average numbers in front of a great defense in a great pitcher's park, in the AL West. I don't mean to be indelicate but... it's almost certain that he just isn't a good pitcher. This is a losing trade. This is more evidence of our front office's bizarre ability to operate without any semblance of a plan.
The commentariat reacted with similar disgust and incredulity that DDJ could only give bring us back Mazzaro and Mark. If we had only known that Moore was soon to sign Frenchy, it would have all made sense. Hindsight is 20-20 afterall.
Since then, we've seen Vin Mazzaro appear in KC 8 times, making 4 starts and 3 relief appearance in 2011, and 1 relief appearance in 2012 where he pitched one inning and did not allow a hit, walk, run, strikeout, or an inherited runner to score. (I don't remember this outing ever happening but Vinny definitely deserve a golf clap for that).
He has spent the rest of his time in the Royal's organization in AAA, where he has posted a 8-2 record in 28 starts, with a 4.31 ERA and 3.85 FIP over 158 innings. His K/9 rate last year in AAA was not bad at 7.79, but he also walked batters at a 4.37BB/9 rate. This year, he's lowered the walk rate dramatically to 2.57BB/9 and seen a modest decrease in his K/9 rate to 6.94. His BABIP in Omaha was .340, which is high, but not very high compared to his historical BABIP of .315 in the majors, and near the same in his recent stints in the minors. Of all of those numbers, the one that excites me most is...hmm...his age, I guess.
ZiPS projects him to have a terrible 5.23 ERA in 2012 in KC, though his FIP is projected to be a respectable 4.58. So it seems that ZiPS' main concern is that it also projects him to have a very high BABIP of .325.
He's still only 25 and has 6 years of professional experience under his belt. He throws right-handed. Tonight he will pitch, and if I were a betting man, I'd bet that he comes out throwing right-handed.

In a recent Bleacher Report our very own Arif Hasan posed the question, Did the Minnestota Vikings make a mistake hiring Bill Musgrave? As always his arguments are compelling and his analysis is very insightful.
To summarize the points made:
- Musgrave is very creative.
- He is very good at self-scouting and changing up his tendencies game to game.
- He is not nearly as good at the "in-game" understanding and play calling.
- The jury is still out on his ability to "develop" quarterbacks.
- He has always been a very conservative play caller.
