Well, they certainly put up a hell of a fight, and for that I will always remember this Bulls team. I may have been down on them most of the year and knew this result was inevitable, but as many here have said, once tip-off occurs it is hard not to root for a win and cheer on the Bulls. So it goes...
Yes, the Heat will go on and probably win another championship, but I for one will be watching as I feel their two likely opponents the remainder of the way are teams in the same mold as the Bulls. If indiana finishes off the Knicks, the Bulls would then serve as a good warm-up for the Heat in prep for the Pacers. Only thing is Indy is actually healthy (Granger almost hurts them at this point). Hibbert may not be as active as Noah but he is a legit big threat in the paint and could possibly make life difficult for any Heat venturing into the lane. Also, I will be interested in the evolution of Paul George and see if he can take that next step in his climb up to the NBA's elite as he matches up against the best himself, one Mr. Lebron James. But don't get it twisted... #FuckPsychoT
Then, if they happen to get past the WCF is Memphis. This team is playing incredible defense right now. I know they played an OKC team without it's second star but regardless OKC still has one of the best scorers in the league in Kevin Durant and the Grizzlies just completely dismantled them. The best defensive team in the league this year with the DPOY, the Grizz are also very much in the mold of the Bulls; two skilled bigmen (Gasol & Z-Bo) with better offensive skills than the Bulls' pair of Noah and Boozer. They also have a premier perimeter defender in Tony Allen who can be used to make Lebron work. Jimmy Butler, a second-year player who is still very much inexperienced, just pestered Lebron into 44% shooting for the series against the Bulls. That is 12% less than what he shot on the season. That is a huge drop off. His per game number might've not taken that big a hit, but the one thing that has made Lebron's season truly remarkable was his efficiency. By shooting a noticeably worse percentage, he had to get up more shots to reach his averages, including a lot of long jumpers. Those are the kinds of shots I felt Lebron stayed away from for the most part this season. For a player who was playing smart all season and making the proper decisions as the focal point of his offense, Lebron settled for stretches against the Bulls. So it'll be interesting to see what Tony Allen and the Grizzlies defense in general can do against Lebron and the Heat. Oh, and Zach Randolph is a MAN.
I also don't want to totally count out the Spurs. This has actually been the team I hoped all year long would face the Heat in the Finals. And since both teams held out their star players in their two regular season matchups, I'm even more intrigued to finally see these two teams do battle when everyone is on the court. The Spurs are efficient, play good team ball, and don't necessarily go through the offensive lulls a team like Indiana or Memphis might go through. I think they would be the perfect matchup. I just feel Memphis is a team on a roll and will be an extremely tough out for the Spurs. So tough that those two may beat each other up and just have nothing left for a potential matchup versus Miami.
As for our Bulls, it was definitely a memorable season in spite of the disappointment of Derrick Rose not returning all season. Just when we counted them out, they always surprised us with #Streakbusting and such. Some good storylines came from it: Nate, Jimmy, Noah becoming a true all-star. There is a lot to look forward to: Derrick's return (I hear he is now no longer listed as day-to-day), Luol regaining his health, Rip getting the hell out of town. This should not be a sad day for Bulls fans as there is a daylight on the horizon.
For the meantime, night sets on the beach. Gone are the bikinis, umbrellas, and cold drinks. As the sun sets on this Bulls season, the time has come for drum circles and mysticism and good vibes to take over as the Bulls look forward to a new dawn... a new beginning.
I thank you all for taking the time to read through my musings of this series and know I will always carry that Bulls banner proudly down here on the beach. 'Til next season.

REAL estate agents in Bendigo are sceptical over the use of bitcoins to buy real estate.
It was recently reported that a New York real estate broker had started accepting the digital currency for real estate transactions.
It comes a month after a five-bedroom Perth Hills home was listed for $1.4 million requesting bitcoin payment only.
The sale would make the property the first in Australia to be sold using the digital currency.
The bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency which was launched in 2009 by a Japanese programmer under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
Unlike traditional currency bitcoins are not controlled or regulated by a central body and can be traded in online exchanges or "mined" by users of Bitcoin software who use computers to crack complex algorithms to confirm transactions.
Bitcoin has been subject to close scrutiny due to ties with illicit activity but demand for the currency increased by 5,000 per cent in 2013.
But agents in Bendigo remain sceptical about the use of the digital currency for real estate.
Agent Tom Isaacs from PRD said it was very risky.
"I think as a transaction for goods and services of minimal value it is probably something that has taken off and has a place in the market but for larger transactions using an unregulated currency is very risky," he said.
"It is probably unsustainable in the long-run and I would be very surprised if transactions in Bendigo head in that direction.
"My understanding of the product wouldn't lead me in that direction."
Doug Lougoon agrees it is unlikely the Bendigo property market will start buying and selling in digital dollars.
"With the way Bendigo transacts I think it is unlikely but I think you will find it may creep into some more advanced areas.
"I think there are fairly few people who would put up their house in bitcoins, it is a complete juxtaposition, real estate is real, it is a very physical item, bitcoins for the vast majority of people are a nefarious currency.
"The people who have these properties must be 100 per cent confident they can use bitcoins."
Jay Duval from Expert Real estate said it was a big gamble.
"You can look at it the same as floating something on the stock market," she said.
"It can go up and down in value.
"If you like to gamble and you are someone who plays high risk stock on the market then you are going to like it but if you are a conservative bricks and mortar person, which most of us are, you are not.
"It is very premature to use them.
"In good conscience I wouldn't recommend them at the moment but in 20 years ask me again."
Agent Darryn Mawby said it was too early to say how the currency would progress but he would not rule it out completely.
"If we did use it, it wouldn't be for us it would be at the request of the owner.
"I probably wouldn't recommend it at the moment as I don't know enough about it to push it.
"It is too early to say what will happen, we will have to wait and see."

Those 'County Election Councils' Aren't Keeping Up With Constables
A lot of counties are not filing paperwork on constables as required by a state law, meaning there's no firm number on how many are still operating statewide as elected officials with some law enforcement powers. Best guess, according to Natalie Neysa Alund: About 400.
"I wasn't aware of this (the numbers not being reported)," said state Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins, who oversees the election process. "I'm gonna take a little bit of heat on this. I don't know how much training we've provided with reporting."
But after reviewing the statute, Goins determined it is unclear who is responsible for reporting the numbers. He blamed the problem on confusing language in the statute.
It reads: "The county election council shall notify the Tennessee Constable Association or the Tennessee Constable Council within sixty days of election of the constable."
Goins said the statute used to read "county election commissions" were responsible for notification, but in 2004 lawmakers amended the language to "county election councils." He didn't know why.
"I'm not aware of a county election council anywhere out there," Goins said. "Commissions could assume that they are not responsible because the name changed to council. The statute ought to change and say county election commission now."
To add to the confusion, a provision in the statute states only counties that have constables with police powers are required to report their totals.
In some counties, like McMinn, constables don't have the power to arrest or write citations. They only serve court summonses there.
And in other counties, including at least 11 in the East Tennessee region, constables have been abolished.
"I was really under the impression most constables had lost law enforcement powers and that (provision) would have kicked in," Goins said.
Although no one is keeping a list, Goins said there is no punishment for violating the notification law.
"This is basically failure to report, so there is no mechanism as far as penalty," he said. "There are provisions where election commissions can be punished, but it's for things like intimidating voters or doing something fraudulent. This doesn't rise to a level of a felony where punishment could rise to removing an election commissioner or criminally prosecuting them."
Regardless, Goins said, the pattern needs to change.
Note: Alund has two other stories on constable stuff in Sunday's News Sentinel. One is on how they make money - by getting a cut out of each ticket they write - and the other on debate over whether they're still needed.

Alabama utility crews turned away in New Jersey for #Sandy recovery help because they're nonunion: bit.ly/QY3fTC—
Adam Henry (@viewofadam) November 02, 2012
@michellemalkin @viewofadam Im from Alabama. We have great utility crews in our state. Too bad politics keeps them from showing NewJersey—
Harley Webb (@hwebb54) November 02, 2012
Unions first, hurricane victims later. This blood-boiling report from Alabama's WAFF 48 News will come as no surprise to those familiar with the Big Labor protection racket.
The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews from Huntsville Utilities learned they'll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey. Crews from Huntsville, as well as Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can't do any work there since they're not union employees…The crews were told to stand down. In fact, Moore said the crew from Trinity is already headed back home.
It's almost enough to leave you speechless. Almost:

Representatives with Huntsville Utilities and Joe Wheeler Cooperative, two area utilities mentioned in media reports claiming their crews were not allowed to help with storm aid in New Jersey because they were non-union, said this morning the story is untrue.
The general manager of the other department mentioned, Decatur Utilities, has been unavailable for comment this morning.
The general manager of Decatur Utilities confirms the original story.

There will be a press conference this afternoon.
Decatur Utilities (AL) will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. CT today on the union/nonunion NJ story.—
Adam Henry (@viewofadam) November 02, 2012
The IBEW has released a statement asserting that it would not have turned away help from non-union workers:
#IBEW says all assistance welcome, regardless of union status ow.ly/eYQBi #1u—
(@IBEW) November 02, 2012
It is the policy of this union and the companies we represent to welcome assistance during major natural disasters – regardless of union status.
There have been reports that a nonunion crew was turned away from work in New Jersey. At this stage, it is not clear who is alleged to have turned the crew away and the company that employs the affected workers has denied the claim. IBEW local leaders in New Jersey have reiterated what has been the long standing record of our union –in times of crisis all help is welcome and we pull together with everyone to meet the needs of the public. We have communicated this to the office of New Jersey Governor Christie as well.
It is unfortunate that at a time when skilled line workers are working around the clock to help devastated communities, sketchy reports should cast a pall over these efforts. The real story is that our members and others are working side by side to help people in New Jersey and all affected states get their power back and recover from the effects of the storm.
The IBEW also says that Ray Hardin, general manager of Decatur Utilities, has admitted that the dust-up was due to difficulties with communication and "agreements" as opposed to union vs. non-union issues:
Decatur Utilities' Ray Hardin now admits he was "never presented with an agreement asking them to join the union" ow.ly/eYNmQ #ibew—
(@IBEW) November 02, 2012
WAAY 31's Shea Allen spoke with Ray Hardin, General Manager at Decatur Utilities, this morning. Hardin says communication was difficult from the start and after their crews were stalled for more than a day, they made the decision to bring them home.
Hardin says they were never presented with an agreement asking them to join the union and that the issue is quickly being turned into something political.
Bill Yell with Huntsville Utilities says it is typical for "agreements" to be signed between power companies in disaster affected areas and the crews that come in from out of town to assist in the recovery. Yell says typically, the local power authorities use FEMA money to reimburse assisting electrical crews for the wages they pay their employees. Yell says these types of agreements are usually time consuming and arduous. He says the downed phone lines and lack of internet connection has made these agreements much more difficult.
JUST received the proposed union from Decatur Utilities between them and IBEW (union) — the one Decatur didn't sign. Posting soon.—

Servant Leader
Don Mentzer...Creative Art Landscaping
Grounds Maintenance & Landscape Art Director:
Don Mentzer, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the youngest of three boys. He moved to Brunswick County in October 1988. Don never had a chance to know his mother, as he was only two when she died of Cancer. He does believe even at the age of 2 that as his mother sang and prayed to him as an infant, her prayers had an impact on his life.
He is married to his wife Marty of 20 years. Marty, along with his mothers sister, her family, his grandmother, his brothers and his father have all been inspirational in his life. Friends have also contributed to Don's walk with the Lord. Don loves to be involved with Christian groups and fellowships. Don is very active in his church and is an elder at Seaside Christian Fellowship.
Don invited Anointed Vessels Ministry to come to the Brunswick County Full Gospel Business men Fellowship where he served as President at the time. It was not long after that, he was called to come to use his gifts, talents, and time For the Glory of God. Don has been here when there were only 5 to sit around the table and make plans for the year. He has been commitment, faithful, dependable, full of fun, laughter, not afraid of hard work and lights up a room when he walks in. He would be the one, working out of the land, and no one ever knows he is out there, until you see him leaving or see something else has been done. Don Mentzer is a Servant Leader and our Art Landscaping & Maintenance Director.
In addition to the gifts he uses in his local church, he so freely gives his knowledge, experience, and time in helping with the maintenance of the land. Don is a local business man, owns and operates Lawnvista Landscaping. Every January he plans out what area he will work on next and then goes to recruiting help. All the plants, flowers, trees, dirt, sand, rocks, paver stones, have been donated through local businesses, nurseries and other landscaping companies. In fact, he remembers when we first developed the, Catch the Vision, with a brick pathway, most of the plants were donated from another local business man, John Barrett's Service Station from Shallotte, had us come to his yard, dig up what we wanted then we re-transplanted them. Amazing how God will supply all of your needs accordingly through his riches in Glory.
2009 brings more challenges to Don, as we plan for the development of, The Love Letters to the Seven. This will be a teaching walk thru tour, to teach on the message to the seven churches from the Book of Revelation. Everything we do, we want the WOW, Working On Witnessing. The Lord spoke to Don at the beginning of this year, that many, many people will be coming to the Anointed Vessels Ministry and his job was to keep the land presentable as unto Him. Thats one thing you can be sure of, a sheep knows his masters voice and will not follow a stranger. Don has seen the Anointed Vessels grow and minister to many people throughout the years, lives changed and souls saved. He loves seeing the Vision the Lord has given the Paynes unfold each year.
He is always excited how the Lord adds those to come aboard and about meeting new people.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is considering allowing gay youth, teens, and scout leaders into scouting, reversing decades of anti-gay discrimination. The Boy Scouts just last year reaffirmed their policy of not allowing gays into any level of Scouting, claiming they had held a years-long study that concluded it would not be in the Scouts' "best interests."
The possible new policy would reportedly allow individual chapters to make the decision for themselves.
The news was broken on MSNBC by Pete Williams on Andrea Mitchell's show.
This is a developing story — stay tuned.
UPDATE: On NBCnews.com, Williams writes:
"The chartered organizations that oversee and deliver scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs," according to Deron Smith, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts' national organization.
Individual sponsors and parents "would be able to choose a local unit which best meets the needs of their families," Smith said.
The discussion of a potential change in policy is nearing its final stages, according to outside scouting supporters. If approved, the change could be announced as early as next week, after the BSA's national board holds a regularly scheduled meeting.

Stopped here after going to Beverages and More in Cypress to pick up my Firestone Eleven, on the corner of Moody St. and Ball Rd.
They had about four fridges that were all craft beer, they had some good stuff like Deschutes Hop Trip, Stone 11th Anniversary, Stone Russian Imperial Stout, Alesmith Speedway Stout, some Ballast Points
Various six packs included brews from Deschutes, Rogue, Anderson Valley, Firestone, Bear Republic, Samuel Smith, and Green Flash
One cooler was filled with mostly Belgian beer, some of the ones that I remember are Duvel, Lindemans, Gulden Draak, Piraat, St. Bernardus, and Chimay
Three other coolers with the normal macro lagers, Miller, Bud, and Coors, did not pay much attention to this
Prices were a little higher than I am used to paying, but nothing too bad, did not really talk to anybody because there were several people in the store talking about the lottery
The place is fairly clean for a typical liquor store, probably would not go back here because they did not have anything I cannot get at the places closer to my apartment

It's just a typical liquor store with your typical liquor store beers and your typical liquor store funk and smell. All the usual suspects including Steele Reserve and Old English. The "fancy" beers they have are some Sierra Nevada, a few six packs of Stone Pale Ale, and I saw some Rogue Dead Guy Ale there too. All stuff I can find at my local Ralphs, and for cheaper too.
Over all not impressed. I wouldn't avoid this place, but I'd only stop by if I was in a fix and it was extremely convenient. Don't go out of your way, you'll be disappointed. There's a Bev-mo about three miles away, you'd be much off driving the extra few minutes.

I knew i would be in this area for a work appointment so i checked beerfly, saw this, and voila.
This liquor store is in a small strip mall at the end and on the corner of Moody and Ball Rd. Looks nice and clean from the out side. There was a picnic table in the store to the left as you walk in. An old timer was sitting down filling out some lotto tickets and hitting the scratchers. (He was enjoying himself and that was nice to see). Nice and clean inside, rather crisp.
The beer is to the left towards the middle of the store and takes up about 3 and a half coolers. The had all the Stone regulars in addition to the RIS and OG. There's a good representation of the microbeers here. You have Rogue, Deschutes, Sierra Nevada, Anchor, Green Flash, Ballast Point along with Fullers, Old Speckeled Hen, Spaten... the usual suspects (and i mean that in a good way) and some uncommon belgians that i cant remember the names of. All in all a good representation. What got me was the plastic bottles of Oggi's Golden Ale. I had been looking for this at Hi Times, Hollingshead and Bevmo but no luck and here it was in this little liquor store. Pretty fricken cool.
The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and brought me a basket for my goods. When i told him he had a real beer selection he smiled and the old timer gave out a jolly laugh. We talked beer, laughed, i mentioned beer advocate then the guy pulled out an ordering sheet. He asked if i needed anything that he didnt carry so i circled some Lost Abbey Lost and Found and Alesmith IPA. He then said to come back next Thursday... which i will. I thought that was pretty cool. Very nice guy and nice store!!!

Corner of Ball Rd. & Moody.
Another little gem in Orange County. Beautifully laid out store with wide isles...very clean. Extensive selection of craft brews..I counted 61 different 'bombers' alone not including 6 packs. According to the owner, Tom, every one is per customer request or suggestion. He has a list next to the register where he will take requests and special orders. Besides running a Liquor store, Tom is well versed on the different beers he carries (personal favorite I believe was Belgium Ales) and is happy to talk with you about the different ones available. Prices are very competitive and according to Tom, if anything sits on the shelf for more than 2 weeks, he puts it out at a discount to keep stocks fresh. Nice sale items up front. Largest selection of Stone products I've seen anywhere...this is where I'm picking up my Annual Russian Imperial Stout. (you can still pick up 05.05.05, Old Guardian, Bigfoot, etc at his store as of this review.

Renan Barao: UFC champion. Okay, UFC Interim Champion...but champion nonetheless. He is currently tied for having the 3rd longest undefeated streak in MMA history at 29 wins and 1 No Contest(the UFC adds to wins on their site) and the longest of any active MMA fighter.
I'm not going to say I believed in this guy when nobody else did....but I kind of did. For a while, it did sort of feel like I was the only one always excited to see this guy on such a monstrous win streak compete, and for even longer it felt like I was the only one always rooting for him. I mean, I was saying 'this is someone to keep an eye on' nearly a year ago.
Meanwhile, as awesome as the Bloody Elbow staff is they've certainly counted him out some, along with plenty of other MMA fans in general(I know polls here on BE heavily favored Pickett)
For his UFC 130 fight with Cole Escovedo...the 8 staff predictors were 50/50 split between picking Barao and Escovedo to win.
At UFC 138, all 6 of the staff featured picked Brad Pickett to defeat Renan Barao.
At UFC 143 it seemed like everyone had warmed up to 'The Baron' a bit. Of the 10 predictors, 8 picked Barao to defeat Jorgensen.
But at UFC 149 most favored the not-getting-any-younger Urijah Faber, with 6 of the 7 staff picking him to end Barao's streak.
As for me? I was clearly optimistic of his chances against Pickett, and anyone in the BECW can tell you I picked him to beat Faber...I also remember doing a fanpost of predictions for 143 where I had him beatin Jorgensen.
Basically...I'm a big fan of Renan Barao, I have been ever since I found out about him. I've always rooted for him, and I think it's a damn shame that even when he reaches a championship level in the UFC and every win secures his spot in the lasting record books more and more....that he seems to be getting so little praise for pulling a clean sweep against Faber just because the rest of the main card was a letdown.
and I don't know about anyone else...but him taking on the dynamite fisted Michael McDonald or eventually the uniquely styled champ Dominick Cruz is something I can't wait to see.

Totally missed this amusing cheerleading piece in Yahoo! Sports from Rick Kimbrel, the publisher of BruinBlitz. Per Kimbrel Dorrell squad is "sprinting" towards training camp and dead set with their high expectations this coming season (uhm, emphasis mine):
Brown's defensive tackle running mate, senior Brigham Harwell looks like a beast. He is benching close to 500-pounds and looks it. Harwell, like Brown, knows what's at stake and he wants to go with a bang.
The injured players from spring that were there are all chomping at the bit to get back on the field. To a man, senior fullback Michael Pitre, senior running back Chris Markey and Breazell can't wait for training camp to get back in action.
In talking with the players' it is BCS or bust in 2007. The players' have high aims for the coming season. What was notable is they are approaching the season one game at a time.
More than one player said that anything less than BCS will be a disappointment. That kind of mentality is important. These guys want to win and they want to win a lot.
Anything less will not be tolerated. This is the first time in the Karl Dorrell regime where there will be solid depth across the board.
The more I see Olson, the more his situation reminds of what happened to Carson Palmer during the early part of his career at USC.
In other words Kimbrel is implying that we should expect Ben Olson to put up same numbers Carson Palmer during his last year at Southern Cal.
We are saying the same thing. Dorrell has everything he needs. There should be ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSES should Dorrell fail to win at least the Pac-10 championship this coming season.
BCS or Bust it is.

and the friendships that I will always cherish.
Bringing plants and unique wares to the shore and into your homes has been a delight.
It has been an amazing eight years, and this decision to end gardenART is the hardest one,
the economic times have proven too much an obstacle to overcome.

Brooks ready for redemption— 10 September 2013
Jack Brooks says he would be surprised to see Yorkshire repeat their LV= County Championship slip-up against Durham at Scarborough recently as the 2013 season heads into its last three weeks.
The White Rose fast bowler has no doubt the belief is still there to go on and make this a golden year for the county ahead of Wednesday's trip to face Sussex at Hove, the only other side to have beaten Yorkshire this season.
"We've got a strong group of players who will take the field against Sussex, and I'd be very surprised if we're turned over again in our last three games like we were last week," said Brooks. "This team's too good for that to happen regularly.
"Whenever you do lose, it helps you to refocus and keeps you grounded. You know you can't take your foot off the gas. I'm hoping we'll bounce back this week.
"We're still confident because we're playing good cricket. It was a blip last week.
"Alex Lees missed out last week, and he's scored 250 recently and played for the England Lions. You've got him, Joe Root and Tim Bresnan not playing. It shows how strong this Yorkshire squad is. I saw Rooty at Abbeydale last Monday and said 'you wouldn't get in our team at the minute'. He laughed and agreed!"
Yorkshire go into this week 14.5 points behind leaders Durham, who travel to Derby to face Derbyshire. They also have three matches remaining.
There is no hiding from the fact that the title race is out of Yorkshire's hands. But that does not bother Brooks, aged 29.
"To be in this position with three games to go, we'd have bitten your hand off at the start of the season, definitely," he continued. "I don't think there's any panic in the group. There wasn't even when we were in a bad position in the Durham game. It was just one of those games where nothing really went our way with the bat, the ball or in the field.
"It's been a long time since that happened – the first game against Sussex. We went on such a good run from then on. We'll just go back to basics and back the team."
Sussex beat Yorkshire by an innings and 12 runs in the first match of the season. Yorkshire were even bowled out for 96 in their first innings. But a heck of a lot has changed since then.
While Yorkshire are still in the title race, fourth-placed Sussex aren't. They are 40.5 points behind Durham with only two matches remaining. They have lost two of their last three matches.
And Brooks added: "That (Sussex) defeat maybe helped to focus us, and it might have been the best thing that happened to us.
"Coming into Division One our batting was supposed to be our weakness. We got rolled over for 90-odd, but we recovered to get some big scores and beat some strong teams. We haven't really thought about it because we have been so good since and hadn't looked like losing until Durham."
England Test wicketkeeper Matt Prior has been cleared to finish the season in the Championship.


text: Sorry im new at this posting thing anyway wouldn't be awesome if we could do a draft day trade for joel embiid !!! I mean picture him coming off the bench for robin lopez, that would boost our defense considerably I think its a definite upgrade and upside compared to meyers, at least embiid has the potential to be a defensive stopper blocking shots and swarming shooters near the rim. I think if its possible that whoever drafts him is willing to( I know long shot :) we should definitely do it, something like meyers and barton for him would be a dream trade to me. Sorry if im thinking too far ahead, this post is more like an embiid lovefest than anything else. What do you think if the blazers had a chance to get embiid would you say hell yeah like me or am I crazy? Thoughts on if we do, what would we most likely give up?

"Crazy" Tim Credeur will likely be fighting with his job at UFC 137 on October 29th. With two losses in a row his back is against the wall, and he'll be facing Brad Tavares, who is also coming off a loss and looking to re-establish himself. .The middleweight bout was announced by the UFC today:
Verbal agreements are in for a middleweight bout between "Crazy" Tim Credeur vs. Brad Tavares at UFC 137, Dana White confirmed.
Credeur — Louisiana's first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt — hit the public eye as a member of the TUF 7 house; Hawaiian Tavares was a season 11 standout.
Credeur returned after an 18-month layoff last month, but was TKO'd by Ed Herman in just 48 seconds. The 34-year-old hopes to turn things around against Tavares, the hard-hitting Hawaiian who suffered the first loss of his career at the hands of wrestler Aaron Simpson at UFC 132. The bout is expected to take place on the preliminary card.
Tim Credeur (12-4)
Loss Ed Herman - TKO (Punches) TUF 13 Finale
Loss Nate Quarry - Decision (Unanimous) UFN 19
Win Nick Catone - Submission (Guillotine Choke) UFN 18
Brad Tavares (7-1)
Loss Aaron Simpson - Decision (Unanimous) UFC 132
Win Phil Baroni - KO (Knees and Punches) UFC 125
Win Seth Baczynski - Decision (Unanimous) TUF 11 Finale

Over the last year, we've seen the CRTC publish customer-friendly new rules for wireless, set up a special task force to investigate extortionate roaming fees, and start a conversation with Canadians about the Future of Television (and watching TV content online!) Things are starting to change.
Political speech is seemingly under attack from the last place we might expect: Canadian media broadcasters, that say parties can't use broadcasters' content in ads. Protecting copyright is not an illegitimate purpose, but this approach is less than ideal for political advertisements. Political parties rely on election advertising to persuade the electorate to vote for them. This political expression is a significantly important aspect of public discourse and should be accorded the highest priority and protection.
The National Post ran a commentary saying CBC seemed incapable of reinventing itself, which may be true, and concluded that it didn't matter since TV viewing was in decline and the television industry, that is, networks, cable, etc. wouldn't exist in its present form in "maybe two years." This blissfully ignores the fact that TV viewing and cable/satellite subscriptions have shown no decline.
To help ensure that Internet users' voices are heard, your team at OpenMedia.ca have put together a question-by-question readers' guide to the CRTC's Choicebook survey. We hope you find it useful, and encourage you to take a few moments to prevent the CRTC from going in the wrong direction.
One night not long ago I was about to take in my daily dose of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart after work, when I was forced to deal with a new popup window on the CTV website -- CTV and other Bell Media websites are the only legal websites you can use to watch this and many other shows. But a popup appeared...
Will the government cave under this pressure? We're hoping they won't -- after all, they've made a clear promise to Canadians to lower prices, a promise underlined personally by Prime Minister Harper at his party's convention last fall. We intend to hold the government to its promises. But already there are worrying signs, with Industry Minister Moore seemingly changing his tune.
It's no wonder that so many Canadians are speaking out about the state of our broken wireless market. We pay some of the highest prices in the industrialized world for often terrible cell phone service. Thankfully it looks like decision-makers are finally starting to take notice.
One of the things we at OpenMedia.ca have been calling for is for wireless companies like Ting to be able to reach Canadians just like indie ISPs like Distributel, Acanac, Start or Teksavvy, just to name a few, do for wired Internet. At the moment Canadians are blocked by the Big Three from using Ting, which I think is wrong.
As of yesterday, our hard-won new cell phone customer protection rules go into effect for all new cell phone contracts/sales. The new rules, which were announced by the CRTC (Canada's telecom policy-maker) in June, apply right across Canada, so cell phone users from coast to coast to coast will benefit. These new cell phone customer protection rules will not be enough to rein in Canada's Big Telecom giants, but this is a step in the right direction.
Because Canadians spoke out and demanded change we've forced decision-makers to sit up and take notice. All Canadians will benefit from the federal rules introduced in June, and residents of Ontario, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Nova Scotia can also now rely on strong provincial legislation to protect their customer rights.
Canada's wireless market has taken another step backwards. Yesterday, telecom giant Telus announced it has bought out Public Mobile, a small independent carrier with 280,000 customers in Quebec and Ontario. Our wireless market is already highly concentrated, with just three giant conglomerates controlling over 92 per cent of revenues.
Minister Moore has promised Canadians that he will fix our broken wireless market -- his own department's website promises "more choice." But "more choice" is the last thing that will happen if we let Big Telecom get special access to investment at the expense of Canadian startup providers.
The CRTC and the government should stop playing whack a mole and fully open up our networks by splitting them from Big Telecom control so Canadians can access all providers on an equal basis. We've seen again and again how Big Telecom will take any chance they can to mistreat and price-gouge Canadians, and it's time to make some common sense reforms.
We have just received word that the federal Court of Appeal has officially granted Big Telecom permission to take Canada to court over new customer-friendly rules laid out in June by the CRTC. This means that Canada's three Big Telecom giants will appear before one of our highest courts and attempt to overturn important parts of the CRTC's new rules for your cell phone service.
There "is merit to the arguments raised by Sun News," the CRTC conceded, namely the network's idea that Canadians need their news "to come from a variety of independent sources." As a result, the CRTC now plans to spend the fall debating a couple reforms that would fundamentally rejigger the rules governing how Canadian cable companies are permitted to sell and broadcast news channels in general. For a network that never stops bragging about wanting to "change Canadian television as we know it," that's not a bad legacy to leave -- even if it wasn't intentional.
Judging by the remarkable grassroots response from Canadians, it's clear that Big Telecom has totally misjudged the national mood. They're wasting millions on misleading propaganda and expensive ads that almost nobody believes. Canadians are uniting against the lies of Big Telecom in a big way, and the results have been spectacular.

I was just reading online about another sports club with major woes, not unlike the Nets. It's a German football team who couldn't score a goal and kept losing.
So the fans decided to 'help' the team find the goal.
Here is a link to the article in question of what exactly the fans did (i copied and pasted the story below but there is also a video in the link to show the fans live, exactly what they did)
Helpful fans show goal-shy team where goal is
By Eurosport | World of Sport
When a team goes through a goal drought, most fans have a simple answer: a few abusive chants from the terraces, followed by a moan in the pub after the game.
But fans of German regional side FC Magdeburg decided to take a more constructive and creative approach - one that has now made them globally famous.
Reasoning that their men had gone without a goal for five matches simply from having forgotten where the goal was, they decided to take giant dayglo arrows to the match to point their heroes in the right direction.
via l.yimg.comTogether with a giant banner reading 'Wir zeigen euch, wo das tor steht!' (rough translation: Don't worry chaps, we'll show you the goal is), they left their men in no doubt as to what their jobs were during their home clash against BAK '07 on Sunday.
via l.yimg.comThe most brilliant thing of all? It actually worked. Ten minutes from the end of the game Magdeburg's American striker Chris Wright popped up to end the club's 558-minute dry spell with an equaliser that looked like earning the side a point.
via l.yimg.com
It wasn't to be a happy ending, however: BAK then found the net in the penultimate minute to secure the win.
via l.yimg.com
Somehow, however, we can't help thinking that the plucky Magdeburg fans still went home with smiles on their faces.
via l.yimg.com
via l.yimg.com
Anyway I just thought with all the lack of fans attending games and getting destroyed on a nightly basis it could be a really good idea to get a crowd of NetsDaily posters behind a basket with all these big arrows to help show the team where the basket is because they are having such problems with seeing the basket and with their sight lines etc.
I could just picture 50 people showing the way to score with these things and as a fellow poster (called 624) on RealGM stated, we could point to the bench when Petro enters the game.
Anyway I just thought it was a great wee story of a fellow set of struggling fans looking to help the team. It would be hilarious to see.
What say yee, could some fans muster up the numbers to have a wee bit of fun and support the team, remember there isnt many games left in Jersey, could be a way to get a bit of atmosphere going???

Very nice guitar !!
Intonation on a guitar like this in original form will be somewhat of a compromise
Archtop bridges often end up at an angle for this reason...depends how accurate you want it vs straight for aesthetics...
An electronic tuner is essential
And depending on string gauge, the bridge may be left floating...
or somewhere

And about string gauges, whenever I hit the A string it makes something vibrate and I'm not quite sure what it is. It's not fret buzz but it sounds exactly like that and it can really drive you nuts.. But I've experimented a little and when I put my finger on the saddle the string is sitting on, pressing the string in between my finger and the saddle, not palm muting it, it stops.. Wierd huh?
It's a hollow body of course and at first I thought it was something on the inside vibrating, like a wire up against the body or loose electronics but I have my doubts now after trying that. Any suggestions?

I just needed something that had a little more friction to hold it in place rather than the bare wood.

Usually only audible acoustically
IMO not worth bothering about...playing when amped will divert attention away
Agreed on not using sealant tapes etc...the string down force will hold the bridge in place
Enjoy the guitar and remember to post a sound clip

It may not hurt the guitar, but it will affect the sound. The contact between the bridge base and soundboard is designed to be wood-to-wood. This is how the string vibration is transferred through the bridge to the soundboard and body of the guitar to make sound.
I've been playing floating bridge archtop guitars for many years, I've never experience a bridge movement under proper string tension. These guitars were not/are not designed for light gauge strings such as 8's or 9's. Probably the lightest gauge strings I ever had on one of my archtops is 11's, and there was no problem at that gauge.
A couple of other notes:
There are no aesthetics involved in setting intonation, the guitar must intonate (or be somewhat close), and the bridge will have to be angled to do so. I'm also assuming you have a "compensated" wood bridge, and it is generally thought that the position of the saddles is for a medium to heavy gauge string set with a wound third. I'm not sure I agree with this, but the fact of the matter is that the Gibson wood compensated bridges will not intonate perfectly across the neck with modern strings (wound third of not). You have to find a "happy medium". I have found by setting the bridge location for proper intonation for the 2nd string (treble side) and the 5th string (bass side) is generally as good as it gets, and acceptable.
After everything else is setup properly on the guitar, then go chasing your rattles. As you suspect, it could be almost anything, wiring, knobs, pots, tailpiece, pickguard, pickup, braces, etc. Do this last.
Posted 21 March 2012 - 10:13 AM
But you are right you don't notice it when playing with an amp. But anyway, thanks for the help guys, I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future. ^.^

you're welcome! if the thumbwheels won't stay up against the bridge, try adding a little bit of clear nail polish to the threads on the underside. remove it from the guitar before you do this to make sure none drips on the finish.

Turns out there was a copper wire pressed against the body on the inside, so I just gently pushed it out of the way and all is good now. (=

Hello again, Is it possible to controll which of the portfolio categories that shows up in the portfolio templete when filtering is on? I know i can select categories for the portfolio but all of my categories shows up in the filtering.
Yeah, the filters collect all categories. Nothing we can do about it sorry.
first, great theme. love it. my question, on your demo site, in the blog section there are related posts. i turn on the related post in the admin menue, but it doesn´t show anything. what do i make wrong?? maybe u could help me. thx.
they have to be connected through category or tags, then they will show
thank you for your help. it works.
great work
Hello again,
one more question. the home slider doesn´t work on my iphone. like in your demo. in the slider option menue, there is the point "add mobile view imagine". how does this work? do i have to upload the slider images here? and how big have the to be. find nothing about it in your documentation. thx for help.
You need to add a normal large picture. The resizing takes care of the rest. So add an image inside the "add mobile view image" upload section and this will show once you go mobile.
How do I delete a layered slider or a page in the layout builder? Their appears to be no delete option.
Also in the layout builder there isn't an option to delete a layout.
In the layout builder I have been selecting a video and adding the video URL to youtube but it doesn't work, the page just displays the code.
Yes, this seems to be a little mistake. But when you look closely there's a white bin icon on the right side of the layout page. We need to update this icon with a clear color.
Sorry for this, function is present and icon also only the color does not stand out.
i have a problem with the 4 colum section in the layout builder. i want 4 colums, with a top image and text. but everytime i try this, the image in the last colum appears less high than the other ones. how can i change that? i made a screenshot for you. maybe u can help me with that. thx.http://i.imgur.com/cKwawy3.jpg
Did you check if that last imagehas dimensions behind it's url? Like -150×150.jpg
yes, there are dimensions behind the url of the last picture in coumn 4. but why? i upload always the same picture in the same way.
Remove that dimension and it's good. Don't know how it happened, doesn't matter how it happen . Check the size select next time when you load an image.
Hello…Is there an XML file that sets up all the pages like the demo (without the images ofcourse). I am having a hard time getting the site to look like the demo layouts.
Yes, when you first install the theme there's a link inside the option menu which is named "installer". click on this and everything will be set up as advertised within two clicks.
Is this woocommerce compatible? Love the theme but need a shop.
we never tested woocommerce, so we can't provide you an answer
is there any other wordpress eCommerce platform you do know of with which this will work? thanks
We just uploaded a new theme which is fully build around the woocommerce plugin.http://shopsum.wptitans.it
Should be approved to themeforest by tomorrow evening i think.
Hi, I wrote a comment before about homepage slider that it goes crazy after 2 times clicking on the left or right arrows and you answered you will take care of it but no update until now.
other thing is auto re-sizing the homepage image for small screens and phones. it is buggy and so annoying. sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. it is buggy on your demo site also.
please check http://promotionexchange.com/ and let me know what's wrong on homepage slider and phone images.
Please send us ftp and admin credentials so we can have a look for you and fix this on the spot.
Send it through the little form inside our themeforest profile page.
I sent you the info yesterday. did you have a chance to look at out problem?
Hello, i have a problem with the portfolio section. i made a portfolio item with a two column text. but when its open in the small preview, the text goes over the side.http://i.imgur.com/pTKfpVk.png
can u help me with that?
Can you show me a live link?
i have solved the problem. but something else. i use the dark template for the site, but i want the white background for the single blog post. where can i change that? can u help we with that. thx.
Yes we can help you with that. Just send us ftp and admin credentials through our profile page and we will have a look for you.
i sent u a mail.
Hello, great theme, but I have a problem. Theme doesn't reconigze me decimals numbers in home slider's effects of layers' delay in, delay out and duration time. I have seen they are correctly saved in the table of database. In your demo it works ok, but I'm unable to make it works properly in my site. What i'm doing wrong? It seemed to be very easy. I have try to enter it with dot or colon, but behaviour is the same, it treats it as a integer, truncating the number.
Please send us ftp and admin credentials so we can have a look to find out why it's not working.
i've send you a mail
you can see what i'm talking about in http://fusion.pubtriangulo.com/. I've tried to work in another site with a new instalation of theme, and error is the same. I don't know what happens
something else. i use the dark template for the site, but i want the white background for the single blog post. where can i change that? can u help we with that. thx.
Is there anyway you can send the exact contents/settings of the default slider? it's not included with the demo content. Thanks!
When you have used the installer then the exact settings should be there. If not then send us an email and we will have a look for you.
Include the issue and ftp and admin credentials. please.
I just sent an e-mail. I can't provide FTP but I gave Admin credentials. It might be time-consuming, but if you could set up the slider to match the Demo, with images and content, I would greatly appreciate it. I bought the theme in hopes the slider would already be set up. I just can't figure out layers/positioning/timing. Thank you!!!
BTW: Installer did not generate this for me. :/ Thank you once again for looking into this!!!
Any news on this? Thanks so much!!!
Yes, we have received your info. We only have a response time of maximum 48 hours. So when you've not been served already then it will be very soon.
Hi there,
Which file allows me to edit the height of the homepage slider? I've looked through a fair few CSS files and can't find anything.
An excellent theme though, well done
Hi, Do this please.
Open hades_framework/helper/builder_listener.php and on line 41 you can change it.
Hi there, I'm trying to change the css of just the about page on our website. I want to change the blurb style so that it is around 1400px in height without the text overlayed. But i wish to keep it as default on all the other pages, is this possible?
Kind regards,
can you please show the page, each page has a unique class that can be used to style it separately.
Of course the page we're trying to do it on is here: http://thinkflowbox.co.uk/creative-agency/
Also, another question. When you have a short code on the 'first' part of a portfolio item. It shows up in the excerpt on the portfolio page. As shown here: http://thinkflowbox.co.uk/ourwork/
is there any way we can avoid this?
One last question, on the actual portfolio items, is it possible to have a full width image, similar to the home page slider but just as a static image instead of the slideshow or featured image, with the blurb container removed?
I know this is asking a lot, we really love the theme!
Kind regards,
body.page-id-3364 #bg-image div.wrap { min-height:1440px; text-indent:-9999px; }
for other problem goto hades_framework -> helper -> builder_listener.php , at line 139 change it to
$content = $helper->getShortenContent(400,strip_shortcodes($post->post_content));
Hi again,
Thanks for your help!
The code you gave for the about page title is great and works perfectly however it really screws up on the iPad?
Instead of having the portfolio expand and then a read more button is it possible to have it take you straight to the portfolio post when you click the tile?
Also are we able to remove the blurb on portfolio pages and have a large image similar to the home slider as a static image?
One last thing, where abouts in the css is the padding for the space between the blurb title and secondary text? As i increased the size of the title font and it screwed up the padding. As you can see here: http://thinkflowbox.co.uk/office-images/
On this page I also can't seem to find the link colour to change it to yellow
Sorry for being a pain,
Kind regards,
body.page-id-3364 #bg-image div.wrap { min-height:400px; }
Height is less , this will affect ipads and for mobiles add at line 227 , this code -
body.page-id-3364 #bg-image div.wrap { min-height:100px; }
For portfolio you will need to contact me via profile with ftp I will make it like you want. Padding looks fine ?
You can change it to yellow at liberal/sprites/stylesheets/plain/yellow/default.css , line 69
Hi, I'm very happy with the new home's slider, but I have a problem. Although I have the "autoplay" option activated, when page loads, and animations of the first slide end, I have to click in the arrow control to pass to the next slide. I need to click only one time. Once I have clicked, the slider pass through all slides correctly, and starts again with the first without this problem. But the first time I have to click to pass, it stop in first slide.
hi, we will look into this . Thanks for letting us know before we made the official udpate
Please, let me know where is the error, when you check-it, in order to correct or replace my files!
I'm seeing there are more errors. When you choose "responsive mode" option to none, or defined, animations and slider stop. I think it's a great and powerful slider, but you have to test it more time to solve all bugs. I will change to old slider, I have to publish this week my web, and I can't wait. Less 3Deffetcs, but more effective. Anyway, good luck and continue improving this slider. It's a greatful theme.
hi, we will look into slider autoplay in responsive mode but you should keep it auto. Thanks for the feedback.
I love the theme however i keep getting the following error on the homepage only: Warning: Illegal string offset 'Layout' in wp-content/themes/liberal/hades_framework/helper/helper.php on line 1437
When I check its this line: if(! is_array($element1) ) $element1 = '';
Any idea what is causing this? Thanks.
hi change this line
if(! is_array($element1) ) $element1 = '';
if(!isset($element[1]) && ! is_array($element[1]) ) $element[1] = '';
Let me know if this fixes the problem.
Fixes the problem. Also had a conflict with another plugin i needed to redo. You guys are awesome! Thx
Just checked the site with no changes made and now am getting an header error after above changes however no errors on site. Only when logging in:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /wp-content/themes/liberal/hades_framework/helper/helper.php:1) in /wp-login.php on line 380
it is because of extra characters the came while formatting due to some reasons. Contact via profile with wp admin and ftp details. I will fix it up.
Hi, sent all the details. Sry for the delay. thx for looking into it.
Forgot to mention that it would be awesome to have this wooCommerce rdy. This theme is so awesome it just needs a compatible shop.
thanks for the kind words , if we get enough requests we will definitely add it
Thanks. Would really love to see that and I think it would boost sales if it had woocommerce integrated. Keep up the nice work.
Hi, Just brought the theme and wondered if there is any way i can force the slider images to remain 100%. as currently if you open the browser window wider than around 1500px it cuts the image.
can you please show me the link, it is suppose to be full width for all sizes.
Hi Agin. Few other issues i am coming across: I change the colours in the stylesheet (pretty much all of the just to double check) and it does not seem to effect the website when saved. (emptied cache etc.) Also is there anyway i can change the colours for blog entries and be specific. e,g can i make all entries assigned to one category one colour and all other entries assigned to another category another colour? many thanks
hey have you change the color in default.css , depending on your style on goto sprites -> stylesheets -> plain -> light/dark . Open default.css change there. Can you please tell which blog format.
hi, thanks for your response. i will try the default.css now. i am currently using the full width blog template 1. With the full width issue. it is full width one the original size of window. but then you resize the window the image does not resize to it until you refresh the window. it does this on the demo so i think its just how the theme works?
hi, I resized full width blog 1 and it is resizing. There shouldn't be any problem.
Hi I would like to buy the theme but I wanted to check something before. On the live preview it looks like the portfolio is filtering the categories only from the page you are on… is that possible? Thanks
hey there is a backend filter for portfolio also available to show selected works.
Ok… but the answer is yes? you can only see the category items from the specific page? is there a way to change it?
you can create portfolio categories on any different pages . It is not limited to a single page.

Trees for Our Heroes
12/14/2013 (Updated 10:37:51 PM)Three local organizations came together Saturday to help provide a holiday celebration for local men and women serving in the military.
Military families came together at the West End Avenue Armory. There they celebrated its annual Family Day.
It's the second year The United Service Organizations, BAE Systems of Endicott, and the Red Cross joined together to help the families.
Christmas trees were given away to 100 of the families. They also received a gift card to Target for decorations.
The day was a thank you from the whole community to those who serve.
"It takes a little bit off their plate. Not having to worry about that. And just mainly knowing that the community is there for us, for them. It's definitely the support of the community. Knowing that , hey, we get support by our community 100%," said Jobanka Juyne, Unit Administrator, 204th Infantry.
The families enjoyed refreshments. Children did arts and crafts. And everyone took a family holiday photo to bring home.

I was approached by John & Alice Hopauir of Pacific Avenue many, many months ago and they wanted to play here at Old California Coffee House & Eatery. He told me that he had a great band that played classic rock music and that he could pack the house… Well, he had me at classic rock… lol. Several emails back and forth, we finally booked a date, unfortunately, it was four months out…. but well worth the wait.
The lead singer, Jim Houston was great to listen to because he had something to say about every song they played and I really like that. He would introduce the next song and then mention how this song moved him or when he first played it or maybe about how difficult a particular guitar rif was or some history about the original songwriter… It was like an encyclopedia of music history and information! I loved it… They started off with Take it Easy from The Eagles and finished the night with the Foo Fighters and played everything in between. I remember signing and dancing at the register that night and I was so busy, that I only made it outside a couple of times, but boy could I tell how great they were from inside.
Other band members include Julius Kim-electric guitar and vocals Eddie Park- bass Jon Hoffpauir-drums Alice Hopauir-keyboard and vocals. I remember Julius and Eddie stopped by the day before to make sure my venue could handle all their equipment. I really appreciate them coming by to check us out. It shows that they care about their music and their performance! You guys killed it… and I can't wait to have you back!
It was a record night that nigh at Old California Coffee House and Eatery. I overheard one gal mention how she has been coming here for years and she has never seen it so busy!" I said thanks, I hope you like all the new changes that we made to improve the coffee shop. I want to send out a heart felt thank you to the band "Pacific Avenue" who not only killed it on stage, but brought a loarge fan base with them to Old California Coffee House. Thanks John, Alice and the rest of the guys in band! Great job that night. I hope to have you back very soon!

Health care reform and the abortion amendment
By Angie Drobnic Holan, Louis Jacobson
Published on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 7:05 p.m.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a long-awaited health care bill on Saturday, but not before there was a final skirmish over abortion.
Abortion opponents were successful in adding new restrictions to the health care bill that went beyond a previous compromise offer by Rep. Lois Capps of California, which we've written about previously .
Rep. Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan who opposes abortion, proposed an amendment that won the support of enough Democrats and Republicans to become part of the final bill.
An important caveat: The Stupak amendment applies to insurers who sell plans through a proposed health insurance exchange. It would not apply to insurance that people get through their employers.
Here's what the Stupak amendment stipulated:
• The public option -- the government-run program on the exchange -- may not offer abortion except in the case of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is endangered.
• Private insurers that accept customers who pay with affordability credits may not offer abortion coverage except in cases of rape, incest or life of the mother. The affordability credits are subsidies the federal government intends to give to low-income people to help them pay for health insurance. Individuals may purchase abortion coverage, either as part of a policy or as a separate rider, as long as they do not pay with affordability credits or state Medicaid matching funds.
• Insurers may offer coverage that includes abortion or separate supplemental plans covering abortion. But customers must pay premiums entirely with nongovernment funds, and the insurer's administrative costs must be covered entirely by nongovernment funds. Insurers can't mingle funds from people who use affordability credits to buy coverage with those who do not.
• Insurers that offer a coverage plan that includes abortion must also offer a plan that does not include abortion.
As you might imagine, all this gets a little complicated when elected officials talk about what the new version of health care reform may or may not allow. Some critics say that the amendment throws up enough obstacles against offering abortion coverage on the health exchange -- particularly the requirement to offer two separate plans, one of them without abortion provisions -- that insurers will simply take the path of least resistance and offer a single plan that leaves out abortion coverage.
Rep. Nita Lowey, a Democrat from New York who favors abortion rights, criticized the new language, saying it "puts new restrictions on women's access to abortion coverage in the private health insurance market even when they would pay premiums with their own money."
We found that there's plenty of room for debate about how the Stupak-Pitts amendment will eventually shape the availability of abortion coverage. But Lowey was wrong to suggest the amendment applies to everyone in the private insurance market when it just applies to those in the health care exchange. And saying that the restrictions would affect women "even when they would pay premiums with their own money" is not correct . We rated her statement False. Read our extended analysis of Lowey's statement.
Keep in mind the latest restrictions are not the last word on health care reform and abortion. We're still awaiting the health bill that will be debated on the Senate floor. If the Senate passes its own plan, that will have to be merged with the House bill before a final vote in both chambers. As it stands now, the House bill has more restrictions on abortion than the bill approved by the Senate Finance Committee . We'll have to wait and see what kind of rules make it through the legislative process.

Science fairs aren't just for older kids! If you're an elementary student, you can learn a lot and have a great time doing your own project. For grades K-3, a demonstration of scientific principles is usually okay, although many fairs require real experiments. For 4th-5th graders, a complete experiment that answers a question using the scientific method is usually required.
Before you start the experimenting part of your project, do some researchabout your topic and then use questions like the ones below to develop your own hypothesis- what you think will happen in your experiment, based on what you know (or want to find out) about science. It's okay if your experiment doesn't turn out like you predicted - that's part of the scientific method too!

NASHVILLE (WATE/AP) - Freshman U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann of Chattanooga prevailed Thursday in his hard-fought Republican primary campaign.
Complete Election Results
Fleischmann defeated Scottie Mayfield, an executive with the dairy company that bears his family name, and Weston Wamp, the son of the district's former congressman.
With 88 percent of precincts reporting, Fleischmann had 27,660 votes, or 39 percent. Mayfield had 22,256, or 31 percent, and Wamp had, 19,668, or 28 percent.
"We came from out of nowhere again!" Fleischmann told his supporters at a victory celebration Thursday night. I worked hard when I came to Congress. I went up there and said, 'I want to change the direction of America.'"
Wamp won the vote count in his home territory of Hamilton County, but failed to outpoll in northern parts of the district.
Mayfield took 72 percent of the vote in his home county, McMinn, but that also wasn't enough to counter Fleischmann's strength in Anderson, Scott and Campbell counties.
Deputy campaign manager Joe Hendrix said Mayfield conceded to Fleischmann around 1:00 p.m. Friday.
"I'm afraid people up their just made their decision based on television advertising," Wamp said about the vote totals in the northern counties of the district. "It's disappointing. I wonder if voters really dug in and got to know our campaign."
For his part, Mayfield was reluctant to concede the race to Fleischmann.
"I'm not in Chattanooga. Some folks in Chattanooga are saying the election commission is still looking at some of the results," he said. "I'm not sure how to interpret that, but I've been told to wait."

People in the United States love to celebrate, and they have many different holidays. Although the federal government cannot order that all businesses recognize a holiday and close for a day, as in many other countries, many holidays are still universally recognized regardless.
Even when there are no major holidays in a given month, Americans are often using the time to prepare for other holidays that are happening later on. That's the case in September: Although there is only one major, universally recognized holiday, you will still find sales.
Americans love to set up great sales no matter the occasion, so major "federal" holidays are a great time to check out your favorite U.S.-based sites. Sales have a tendency to begin the first day of the holiday's month in some cases, but they can also begin the week before.
The One Holiday In September That All International Shoppers Should Be Aware Of
In America, the first Monday in September is celebrated as Labor Day. Labor Day recognizes the long struggle of many different parties that have contributed to the labor rights Americans now enjoy: For example, an eight-hour work day, sick days and paid vacation time.
Unlike some of the other holidays that Americans love, there's no specific item that is associated with Labor Day. On the other hand, you will probably find sales for a wide variety of different industries, so take time out to look at a number of different brands. Shopping September Holidays sales include things like clothing, electronics, and housewares. If you look carefully enough, you're bound to find a U.S.-based company that is discounting something you want to buy.
Since people have a tendency to get together during "Labor Day weekend," you'll also find that items like barbecue grills and outdoor furniture may be available at reduced prices.
Labor Day Is Only The Beginning When It Comes To U.S. Holiday Shopping
September may not have many holidays of its own, but it is the very beginning of an important shopping season that culminates with Christmas on December 25. September is the time of year when many people start putting together gift packages for those they care about.
Likewise, U.S. shoppers might also start working on hunting deals for Thanksgiving, another major holiday that takes place in November. With OPAS, you'll be able to take full advantage of the deals as soon as they start, no matter where you are in the world.

Cod wallop: So long, New England fishermen?
Last week, the New England Fishery Management Council cut the cod quota in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent and off Georges Bank by 61 percent. Some fishermen will be able to fish cod for only a day, or less, this year. The South Coast Today newspaper quoted John Bullard of the National Marine Fisheries Service as saying, simply, "The fish aren't there."
But fishermen say the cod have moved north, and these catch limits will devastate the industry for no good reason. There is scientific evidence to support their claim.
Cod do migrate to colder waters when their native waters warm.
In 2005, Institute of Marine Research scientist Kenneth Drinkwater wrote in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius would lead to collapse of the cod fishery off Georges Bank and sharp decline in the Gulf of Maine as the cod migrated north. "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod," he wrote.
In the past year, the temperature in the Gulf of Maine reached record highs. "At some point, (the gulf) is going to be inhospitable to cod. We're getting close to that now," said Jeffrey Runge, biological oceanographer at the University of Maine. In the past four years, the surface temperature in the gulf has risen between 2 and 3.5 degrees fahrenheit a year, more than enough to cause the near-collapse due to migration that Drinkwater predicted in 2005.
The government acts as though the only issue is overfishing. So it does what it always has done: it cuts the quotas. This approach is so inflexible and burdensome that even politicians like Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, reflexive supporters of empowering government to control industries through the regulatory process, have expressed opposition to it.
Maybe last week's action, which could decimate the New England fishing industry, will finally open the eyes of those who assume that bureaucrats always know, and do, what is best.

Late penalty gives Lion share of points
MAY PEN, Clarendon — Denzil Watson's last-gasp penalty salvaged a 2-2 draw for Humble Lion against promoted Cavalier in their Red Stripe Premier League encounter at Effortville yesterday.
Raymond Thompson's delightful turn and finish gave the visitors a deserved lead on 33 minutes after David Laylor's side had failed to put away their first two opportunities.
Just two minutes later, Omar Walters climbed highest to head home a Jermaine Christian cross, which restored parity for the hosts.
Girvon Brown's 56th-minute free kick looked to have secured successive wins for Cavalier only for second-half substitute Watson to break their hearts at the death with a coolly taken spot kick.
The result was, perhaps, a fair one based on the balance of play, but both sides will feel they created more than enough chances to have secured all three points on a sunny afternoon in
central Clarendon.
Humble Lion, who are now officially out of the running for a place in the first end-of-round final, inched to 14 points, which should be enough to keep them in the top six.
Assistant coach Max Straw was, however, disappointed with the result. "We allowed Cavalier to play too much in the first half, especially in the middle of the field," he said.
Cavalier, who will remain in the bottom three irrespective of results elsewhere, moved their tally to 10 points, but like his opposite number, coach Laylor was not pleased with the point.
"I'm really disappointed with the result, because we are at least three goals better and even in the last few minutes we got a chance to win the game," Laylor said.
In another game yesterday, champions Portmore United edged Highgate 1-0 courtesy of a Paul Wilson's 26th-minute strike at Drax Hall.
