The First disc includes songs from shows at Irvine Meadows,CA in 1992 on their 'How the gods Kill' Tour, and at the Seattle Center Arena in 1994 on their 'Danzig 4p' Tour. The Sound Quality on the first disc is exceptional. I enjoy this first disc very much. It includes songs from the first four albums. This two part, first disc, manifests Glenn's dynamic musical styles and vocal ranges throughout his first few years with the band which bears his name.FIRST DISC (Part I) How The gods KillIrvine Meadows, 1992:1)Godless2)Left Hand Black3)How The gods Kill4)Dirty Black Summer5)Pain in the World6)Evil Thing7)Halloween II8)Not of This WorldFIRST DISC (Part II) Danzig 4pSeattle Center Arena, 1994:1)Killer Wolf2)Little Whip3)Going Down to Die4)Bringer of Death5)Stalker Song6)Long Way Back from HellI also enjoy the second disc: with some VERY minor disappointments though. The songs are all presented very well, although, (and I say this with the fact that, instrumentally, the songs are recorded very well), the mic, at times, seems to have been fading on a couple of songs for reasons unknown. As I said, it's minor. This Second Disk includes songs from the Sixth album on their Satan's Child Tour. The songs are very unique, to say the very least. The tempo is a little faster and the sound is different if compared to the studio versions. That is what I really love about all of these songs, they are the same songs, yet different, with a twist of cain, (if you will) it's like having a brand new Danzig album never before heard. I really love Five Finger Crawl, It's Coming Down, Lilin, Twist of Cain, and Deep. They are all good but those songs stick out like an axe in the head. DISK TWO Los Angeles, San Fran, and NE.1)Satans Child2)7th House3)Five Finger Crawl4)Unspeakable5)Lilin6)Her Black Wings7)It's Coming Down8)Do You Wear the Mark9)Until You Call on the Dark10)Deep11)Belly of the Beast12)She Rides13)Twist of Cain14)MotherAnother of my MINOR disappointments is that there are only one and a half songs that represented BlackAciDevil: 7th House and Deep, which is not really on BlackAciDevil but later was re-mixed and included with the title, Deeper. This is why I say "one and a half". It is regrettable that none of the other really good songs were included from that album, like, 'See all You Were', 'Serpentia', 'Hint of Her Blood', 'Come to Silver', and 'Power of Darkness'. I would have appreciated hearing at least two or three of those songs on this live compilation.I greatly appreciate that these Live double CDs are available to own. It is always good to hear the live versions. They bring a certain quality of reality and uniqueness to them. I like this live compilation, but I wish that they would have taken a little more care in preparing the sound for a live recording on the second CD. The first CD is quite clear and I enjoy it very much.(…)EvilAlivE (…) Smage, the Godless Agnostic.

Vultures Annoy Georgia Neighborhood
January 3, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
LEESBURG, Ga., Jan. 3 (UPI) — Residents of a Georgia neighborhood said hundreds of black turkey vultures have become a nuisance in the area.
People living on Pelham Drive in Leesburg said the vultures first arrived a few months ago and have been damaging roofs and leaving droppings on cars ever since, WALB-TV, Albany, Ga., reported Tuesday.
"I just think that, that many in one place has got to be a health hazard I would think," resident Chan Sellers said. "They come in here every morning around 8:30 or 9 and then mid-day, they clear out, go hunting, but then they come back in the afternoon and it just seems like there's 500, 600 of them."
The neighbors said they contacted Georgia's Department of Natural Resources but were told the birds are a federally protected species. However, the department promised to send officers in the coming months.

Light Up the Sky
One of the advantages of living on Hamilton Island is that you don't need to wait for Guy Fawkes night to see a good fireworks display. It seems that every other week there is a convention or wedding or other event that features a fireworks display. I'm excited to hear that I don't have much longer to wait for my next show as tonight's New Years Eve Marina Street Party will ring in the new year with fireworks at midnight.
Generally the fireworks go off at Catseye Beach or off the marina breakwater. Regardless of the launching point, the exciting bangs echo across the island. At this point, in our house, there is usually a stampede of little feet outside to see the show.
During bigger events the displays are more dramatic. During the Hamilton Island Outrigger Cup there were fireworks during the opening and closing ceremonies. Hamilton Island Race Week had fireworks scheduled for the opening which promised to be a great event. So we bundled the kids into the buggy to go and watch, and had a fantastic view from the Fantasea ferry wharf.
Which ever side of the island the fireworks go off, they are a nice (free!) addition to a vacation on Hamilton Island.

More recent posts about Macedonia
Articles from Macedonia
A ride around the neighborhood
This picture took place during our first month living with our host family. My host mother told me something in Macedonia and, as usual, I had no clue what she was saying, but followed her out the door. What a fun surprise to see our chariot waiting to take us for a ride around the block!
Making Ivar
This was our very first experience with making Ivar, a red pepper spread. It is a day long process and once the Americans got out of bed, our host father took a lot of pride teaching us the whole process. Other than spending great quality time together, eating the end result was the best part of the day!!
Hiking with family
Sonia and Tosho; friends that became instant family. Hiking was a great way to learn about each other and our different cultures.
US family meets PC family
My family was visiting from the States and we couldn't let their visit go by without a good old fashion Macedonian picnic, complete with pictures! Macedonians make everyone feel like family and that is what happened on this special day!
Another day in the fields
I ran into friends from a local village and they are always willing to smile for the camera. This mother was coming back from the fields and I begged the young daughter to hop up on the donkey for a photo. I don't know who did the better convincing - a whining, begging PCV or a mother with a quick, warning look.
True love; a girl and her dog
Dimbo was his name and he was my best friend throughout pre-service training!
Peppers and tobacco
This is a typical house in Macedonia, but I hadn't seen one this colorful with drying peppers and tobacco. I came across this house on a walk and didn't know the people living there, so I shapped the picture quickly before I was questioned about why on earth I would want this picture.
Rakia is the local 'moonshine' and is used for many things besides toasting special occasions (think of it as an all around product - household cleaner, shines your wooden furniture and cures what ails you!). This is Tosho, our Macedonian father, with his great friend and neighbor, Baba Vera, making Rakia on a chilly Fall day. Baba Vera always had a smile on her face!
Girls just want to have fun!
This group of girls became very special to me, very quickly. As only children can do, they welcomed and loved me before I could even get my newly learned and practiced Macedonian 'hello' out of my mouth. We spent a great deal of time together and always, always laughed (I wonder if most of their laughing was at my attempt to speak their language!?). They proved that language does not bond people together, it's the special connection that occurs after your first shared smile. They continue ...
Kids will be kids!
It just goes to show you that no matter where you are, kids are kids! Who needs fancy, new, brightly colored toys? After a gift was received by our Macedonian family, the grandchildren quickly put their imaginations at use with the box. They had fun for hours!!
The Bus....
September 19, 2010 It was my third week of "practicum" meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays and I was traveling for the fifth time alone by bus to Kumanovo. I walked farther down the lane than normal to a bus stop that was (to my knowledge at the time) visited by two alternative bus routes, thus increasing my chance of catching a ride to town. After waiting only a few minutes, and much to my delight, a very large bus barreled down around the corner and glided to a stop. The doors smacked o...
Can you spare a square?
During the first few days of our Pre-Service Training a few of us got together for a much needed pizza break. I quickly became friends with another PCV, a CA woman who was older and wiser than myself, except in one area...the Macedonian bathroom (or the hole-you-pee-in room). We went to the ladies room together and I did my buisness, but I heard a not-so-soft gasp coming from the other stall. I finished and came out to see her doing the bathroom jig in her long, flowing skirt. 'What?! Ho...

Update: Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona, Final Score
Careless passing from Barcelona nearly cost them big time in the 27th minute. A giveaway in the midfield allowed Real Madrid to counter as Karim Benzema came close to putting the home team in front. Benzema's first touch on the final ball in to the box wasn't great as he popped the ball up in the air before volleying a shot in to the side netting. A better first touch by the French striker probably would have been in the back of the net.
Madrid conceded another dangerous free kick in the 32nd minute after Cristiano Ronaldo crashed in to Dani Alves on the edge of the box. Lionel Messi and Xavi both stood over the free kick but it was Messi this time who went for goal but his shot went just over the crossbar.
Madrid threatened yet again in the 34th minute. Michael Essien put a fantastic pass in to the Barca box as Ronaldo snuck back the back line. Ronaldo put a low cross in that was cleared out of danger by a combination of the sliding Dani Alves and Gerard Piqué. In the confusion, Alves appeared to accidentally clip his goalkeeper Pinto in the thigh. He was able to continue after a couple minutes being looked at the the physio.

text: This is a prime example of what every album should be. There is not a weak point on this entire album. It starts off with Aces High, which in my opinion is their greatest opener and one of their best songs ever. With its fast paced drum beat, dueling guitars, and the high pitched wail of Bruce Dickinson, it makes for the perfect opening to this album. Steve Harris bass work as always is incredible, and it can actually be heard which is not true in most metal bands. 2 Minutes to Midnight is a catchy tune with a great chorus which can be stuck in your head for days. Losfer Words is a nice little instrumental which displays the musical talent of each of the members. Flash of the Blade and The Duellists are both great songs, both with incredible guitar harmonies of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. The title track, Powerslave, is themed in Ancient Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs, and the guitar riff goes great with the theme. Powerslave also has one of the best solos ever. The album closes with the 13 minute epic, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, also another Maiden classic. From beginning to end, this album is flawless.

NEW YORK - Saying she could not stand idle as Long Island Rail Road" href="/topic/economy-business-finance/transportation-industry/railway-industry/long-island-rail-road-ORGOV0000002.topic">Long Island Rail Road employees continue to abuse a flawed pension system that grants disability benefits to nearly anyone who applies, railroad president Helena Williams yesterday called for widespread reforms both at the federal level and in her own agency.
"Something is not right, and I think that's
why I'm here saying it cannot be business as usual at the railroad," Williams
said at a news conference at the LIRR's Jamaica headquarters. "We have to get to
the heart of the system. Why is the system allowing for what you and I would say
appears to be, at the minimum, abuse [and] certainly waste?"
Williams yesterday sent letters to members of Congress urging
them to overhaul the railroad retirement system. She recommended more
involvement and input by employers on individual disability claims, closer
scrutiny of employees' claims by independent medical experts, mandatory physical
rehabilitation when applicable, and a more stringent review of disability claims
filed by administrative employees whose work does not involve physical
"The goal is to ensure that only those who are truly deserving of a disability
pension get a disability pension," Williams said.
The retirement board
also recently reported that it approves 98 percent of all its disability
applications nationwide. Internal audits have criticized the board for relying
on little or faulty medical evidence in approving claims. Several state and
federal agencies have launched investigations into the board's
U.S. Railroad Retirement Board officials declined to comment
Among the internal reforms Williams said she will enact is
additional ethics training for LIRR employees, aimed specifically at stressing
compliance "with both the letter and spirit of the law" governing disability
Also, the LIRR will establish a new unit that will act as a
disability-claim watchdog and will communicate directly with the retirement
board. In addition, the LIRR will distribute posters reminding employees and
commuters that they can contact the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority inspector general's hotline with any reports of
possible fraud, waste and abuse.
Several members of Long Island" href="/topic/travel/long-island-PLTRA000031.topic">Long Island's
congressional delegation, including Hillary Clinton" href="/topic/politics/government/hillary-clinton-PEPLT007433.topic">Sen. Hillary
Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-Mineola), Steve Israel" href="/topic/politics/steve-israel-PEPLT003176.topic">Steve Israel (D- Huntington)
and Tim Bishop" href="/topic/politics/government/tim-bishop-PEPLT007487.topic">Tim Bishop
(D- Southampton),
heralded Williams' call for reform.
"Clearly, the railroad retirement
system is off the tracks and changes must be made," said Sen. Charles Schumer
(D-N.Y.), adding that he is reviewing Williams' suggestions and would work with
all parties to "forge a better system."
Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford)
agreed that "legislation is certainly needed" and said he is intent on making
"sure we get it right."
McCarthy said she "applauded" Williams, adding,
"It is important that measures are taken sooner rather than later to learn if
and where any wrongdoing took place."
Clinton said she is working "to
determine if there has been an illegitimate use of federal funds and to examine
the most appropriate ways to prevent any wrongdoing in the future."
spokesman for Israel said he has "called for hearings on the matter, and we're
hoping that will happen and we're hoping we'll have the chance to investigate
it." Meanwhile, a spokesman for Bishop said he "appreciated the LIRR's
legislative suggestions as well as the steps they have committed to take to stop
any abuse" and said all findings from pending investigations "will be
incorporated into any future legislation."
A spokesman for Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo called the matter "an extraordinary case of financial
abuses" and said the office's investigation "is moving rapidly and will continue
to pursue this matter aggressively."

Factors Affecting the Usage of Intranet: A Confirmatory Study
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The extent of intranet implementation and use within individual organizations has significant implications for organizational performance. Previous studies on technology adoption in the workplace suggest that acceptance behavior is influenced by a variety of antecedent factors including individual differences, social influences, beliefs, attitudes, and situational influences. This study reports on an investigation of extended TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) using external factors and subjective norm influencing usage of intranet within organizations. The external factors affecting the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and usage of intranet include technical support, Web experience, task equivocally, and task interdependence. The subjective norm is the mediating variable and external variables indirectly affect usage of intranet indirectly through their effects on subjective norm.

today after school, my mom needed to go to the clinic. so she's taking a pretty long time and me, two of my sisters, and my grandpa are waiting in the car, and i leave the car battery on so i can keep the mobile wi-fi running. when my mom came back, i tried to start the car but, i killed the battery from charging the damn wi-fi. everyone was freaking out because my dad was at work, and the jump-starter was at home, when suddenly out of nowhere, this random guy knocks on the window and asks if we need help. he heard the car not starting and happened to have a jump starter in his car. he helped us out, no questions asked, and left with a smile once we were off and running.
i appreciate you random stranger. thanks (:

What a difference three months make. On Jan. 18, this space was dedicated to the proposition that Congressman Tim Ryan of Niles, D-17th, has found his political niche on Capitol Hill — "Rep. Ryan should remain in the House" — and that his going to the U.S. Senate would cause him to atrophy politically. Ryan's reaction to the column: "That was good."
Yet today, the four-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives — he sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee — is contemplating an inexplicable change of course.
Ryan, whose only other public office experience was a relatively brief and unimpressive stint as a state senator from Trumbull County, is said to be on the verge of joining Gov. Ted Strickland on the election ticket next year as lieutenant governor.
What gives? Ryan appears to be dreaming the impossible dream — of becoming governor of Ohio in 2015. And after governor? President of the United States? (After two Yalies and a Harvard man, the graduate of Bowling Green ... Oh, well.)
Ryan believes that being lieutenant governor — and, perhaps, director of the Ohio Department of Development — for four years would give him an advantage over other candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor, and greater statewide name recognition than the Republican nominee.
Such thinking is flawed for one main reason: The lieutenant governor is rarely in the public eye — even as development director — because any major announcements of headline-grabbing importance are made by the governor.
The Cruze
Case in point: Last summer, when General Motors Corp. unveiled the Chevrolet Cruze that is to be built at the company's Lordstown assembly plant, both Strickland and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, who serves as development director, were on hand. It is not surprising that the two men most sought after by reporters were then GM Chief Executive Officer Rick Wagoner and the governor. To be sure, Fisher, who has strong name recognition in Ohio by virtue of his having served in the legislature and also as attorney general, played a major role in the private meetings state officials had with the folks from GM. But publicly, he was in the background.
There's another reason why Ryan's statewide bid is fraught with political danger: James A. Traficant Jr.
Yes, the man whose name is synonymous with Mahoning Valley politics — the good, the bad and the ugly — will be coming out of prison in September, and anyone who believes he will go quietly into the night is dreaming. It won't be long before the former 17th District congressman — he was succeeded by Ryan — is grabbing the spotlight.
And he'll have a lot to say. When he does, the statewide press will not only feast on the red meat — it's ludicrous to think that any journalist worth his or her salt would turn down an interview with Traficant — but will chase down Ryan to get his reaction. Why? Because he not only replaced the congressman-turned-criminal, but served as an intern in Traficant's office.
The question he will undoubtedly be asked is this: Will you publicly repudiate Traficant and the politics of corruption that he has come to represent? The jailbird was sentenced to eight years in the federal pen on 10 charges, including bribery, corruption and tax evasion.
Jimbo's supporters
If Ryan publicly criticizes Traficant, he would alienate the large number of Jimbo's supporters in the Valley.
It is a political millstone around the congressman's neck that he does not now have to bear. Why? Because the local press has long ago decided that the Traficant connection is no longer a story.
Ryan is being judged by his performance as the 17th District's representative and is receiving high marks — even from this writer who once questioned his "tissue thin" credentials to serve in Congress.
As was noted in the Jan. 18 column which the congressman said he liked, "For purely selfish reasons, the people of the Mahoning Valley need Ryan to remain in the House."
His being lieutenant governor does relatively little for this region.

As a Bowling Green Grad ('95 same as Rep. Ryan) I have to resent that snub to a fine MAC school. President Bush was a Yalie, and yet he gets frequently measured by his competence and aptitude? Many people use state schools in Ohio as a springboard to greatness. BG is one such school. If I recall, Ohio has fathered 7 US Presidents. Does an 8th have to come from Yale or Harvard?
Second, many its time for Ryan to alienate the Jimbo followers. People's reverence to that man is utterly ridiculous and hangs like a shadow over everything productive that has come out of Youngstown. If the mantra of the day in Washington is to come to Jesus on America's past sins (over leveraging our lives, hiding the costs of the 2 wars we fight, our obsession with buying SUVs for grocery shopping) then maybe its the Valley's turn. In fact, Rep Ryan can be a posterboy to the state for what the Valley has evolved into as LtGov, and that could further help mitigate the forthcoming lunacy spewing from Jimbo's lips.

Funding opportunities
Generation of patient specific lung organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells
Funding Type:
Early Translational IV
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 801 237
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
For patients with end stage lung disease currently the only treatment option is lung transplantation and there are not enough lungs available for everyone who needs them. In addition, rejection after lung transplantation is very common and the medicines taken to suppress the immune system often result in serious infections. We are proposing to use patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells and a novel bioengineering approach to make patient specific lung tissues for patients with poor lung function. The goal is to transplant these patient specific lung tissues into patients with lung diseases to improve their breathing and prevent the need for a lung transplant from an unmatched lung. We will make patient specific lung tissues as a potential development candidate and perform a preclinical test of these lungs in a small animal transplant model.
Statement of Benefit to California:
There are millions of people in the USA who suffer from lung diseases. The lungs have tremendous reserve, so that it is not until many years after lung injury that respiratory symptoms become manifest. California, the most populous state, is also the state with the largest number of people 65 years of age and over (3.6 million people in the year 2000) and therefore the prevalence of severe lung diseases in the USA is highest in California with a conservative estimate of over 100,000 cases. Of these, the worst cases develop end stage lung disease and either succumb to their disease or undergo a lung transplant. There were 190 lung transplants in California in 2012 and many more patients on the waiting list. Yet, most of the patients who were fortunate enough to receive a lung transplant will not be disease free, as 50% of them will develop rejection of their lung and they are all at risk for severe infections from the medications that reduce the immune system to try to prevent rejection. We are proposing to develop small lung organs from patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells that could be transplanted into patients to help them breathe without any risk of rejection and therefore without the need for medications to reduce the immune system. This would therefore be a ground breaking new treatment for patients with severe lung diseases and will greatly benefit the people of California with lung diseases.
Review Summary:
This development candidate feasibility (DCF) application focuses upon developing a tissue replacement treatment for patients with end stage lung disease. End stage lung disease currently has only one treatment option: lung transplantation. However, there are not enough lungs available for all patients who need them, and immune rejection is very common. The applicant proposes to develop an autologous, engraftable, functional lung organoid generated by seeding induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived lung cells on a scaffold. The applicant intends to develop and validate a reproducible method for generating the cellular components of the development candidate. Reproducible methods to manufacture three-dimensional alveolar structures seeded with cells will be established. The team plans to develop assays to assess gas exchange function of the organoids, and demonstrate safety and efficacy of the alveolar structures in an animal model. Objective & Milestones - Reviewers stated that key aspects of the cell biology and tissue engineering components are better suited to a basic research program and are premature for translation. - Reviewers felt the proposed milestones were set on an unrealistic timeline and did not follow an adequate development plan for a cellular combination product. Rationale & Significance - Alternative treatments for end stage lung disease are needed. Currently the only treatment option, lung transplantation, is hampered by both a shortage of donor organs and frequent immune rejection. - Reviewers appreciated the applicant's proposed approach; however, there is substantial, more advanced competition in this regard using the decellularized and recellularization approach. The panel estimated that the current project would take several more years to complete than proposed which would limit its potential impact. Feasibility & Design - Preliminary data were inadequate to support feasibility for generating the complex proposed development candidate. - The panel expressed skepticism over the potential success of a non-vascularized organoid given that successful lung function and survival is tightly linked to the complex blood supply of the organ. They felt a pro-angiogenic factor was unlikely to accurately replicate this complexity. - Reviewers were not convinced that an engineered construct with this degree of complexity could be reproducibly generated from autologous iPSC. - The basic scaffold design requires further development. For example, it is unclear how consistently the alveolar scaffold can achieve the intended geometry, and there are no data yet on functional seeding of the scaffold. Qualification of the PI (Co-PI, Partner PI, if applicable) & Research Team - The assembled team is largely appropriate, but would benefit from the involvement of thoracic transplant surgeons. Collaborations, Assets, Resources, & Environment - The reviewers did not highlight any relevant concerns under this criterion. Responsiveness to the RFA - The application is responsive to the RFA and the target disease is clearly identified.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
This is my second wedding, my fiance's first. He wants me to wear white. Is it okay?
It's absolutely okay! White used to symbolize virginity and so was seen as the color for a first-time bride to wear, but these days it simply represents joy and celebration. If you don't feel comfortable in an elaborate ball gown, go for a simpler wedding dress, perhaps with a simple headpiece. Whether to wear a wedding veil is up to you -- though the blusher (the veil that goes over a bride's face) is still considered the prerogative of first-timers.

NEW YORK (Credit.com) — Millions of singles turn to Internet dating sites each year in the hopes of finding a mate. I know, because I was one of them.
In 2001, on a dare from my brother and sister, I signed up for JDate and went out with one person. Long story short, we've been happily married for 10 years and have two beautiful children.
In my brief online dating experience, I joined many other hopeful suitors who trust these services with their personally identifiable information, credit card numbers, photos and even details about their interests and lives. But is that information well-protected by the matchmaking companies? Winning hearts is great, but should you have to lose control over your identity to do it?

VIDEO: In-Depth Dana White Interview On His Life And The Growth Of The UFC
Prior to UFC 148 back on July 7, Aisha Tyler, host of "Girl on Guy" podcast, welcomed UFC president Dana White to her podcast for an extensive interview that is unlike many interviews with that you have heard before with the leader of the world's biggest mixed martial arts organization.
In the nearly 70-minute conversation, Tyler and White talk about, among other things, White's life growing up in Boston and Las Vegas, managing Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, his purchase of the organization with the Fertitta brothers over a decade ago, the growth and evolution of the UFC and more.
If you are a follower of White's work and interviews, you have probably already heard some of the stories he tells Tyler, but regardless of that, plenty of unique content comes out of the conversation and it is an extremely in-depth look at the life of the 43-year-old UFC president as well as the worldwide expansion of the UFC.

Binary Options is pretty much experience the same growing up problems as Forex did a decade ago. There is a lot of turbulence in the industry and it's attracting some less desirable figures too. That's how it goes with a new industry as there are always some luck seekers around trying to squeeze out a buck by tricking people. These types never last long and soon they will move onto the next new thing on the net. The Binary Options industry is still not out of the woods but then again you can also see that Forex is still struggling a bit in the US with the latest regulation. Binary Options have been hit as well by NFA and it is difficult for a US resident to trade Binary Options, even Forex.
It really doesn't make sense either since EU regulation is much tougher than US, but perhaps this is their way of cracking down since the many scandals that have hit the US lately, for example the Madoff scandal. As always it is the wrong medicine for the wrong patient but the government has always and will always protect big business and it is no different this time around. Instead of beefing up the regulation and introduce segregated accounts EU style they are fiddling around with some small fish. OK, scammers need to be removed but that can be difficult no matter how much regulation you have in place. If someone wants to rip off their customers they can do it.
Despite all this Binary Options are moving to the front of the trading queue and rightfully so. Binary Options are simple and easy to trade and there is a combination of science and art to get it right in order to make a profit. The platforms used today are not the best but then again we are still in the infancy stage of this industry. The platforms will become better and more customer friendly as time goes by. One thing that is alcking is really better charting. They are barely adequate but perhaps the brokers believe the trader should use a professional charting platform. Looking again at the Forex industry you can see what big changes that have happened the past 10 years. Everybody has now moved on to the MT4 platform with only a few brokers sticking to their own. The MT4 platform is well known to be rigged and it wouldn't surprise us if MetaQuotes, the maker of the MT4 platform, will move into Binary Options soon since the underling process of distributing or matching the trades is the same.
The most popular Binary Options platform is without a doubt the SpotOption platform. We are not entirely sure why but believe a combination of price and profitability is probably the main reasons. One platform provider has already thrown in the towel. They didn't have many client and probably went bankrupt. The exact reasons are not known. Another well known platform is the TechFinancials platform which is going from strength to strength.
It will be very interesting to see where this industry is going, after all it is not set in stone. What many think is different from Forex trading is the absence of Binary Options Demo Account. In contrast to Forex which always offer a demo account, binary options brokers very seldom do. This is strange but perhaps since binary options are closely associated with the gaming industry and less so with the trading business it's not so peculiar after all. We will be watching this industry closely to see where it is heading. One day we might see that it is moving in the right direction.

Breakthrough for organ transplant surgery
Scientists at Cardiff University have successfully created new cells from cheek lining tissue which could offer the answer to problems affecting the immune system. Immunity protects against many diseases, but can also be harmful. When organs are transplanted, the immune system kicks in and can cause the body to reject the organs. Also diabetes can develop when the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells.
A team from Cardiff's School of Dentistry, with colleagues from Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, have found a new group of cells with a powerful ability to suppress the immune system's action.
The team took oral lining cells from the insides of patients' cheeks and cloned them. Laboratory tests showed that even small doses of the cells could completely inhibit the lymphocytes - the white blood cells that attack the body's systems.
The breakthrough suggests that the cheek cells have wide-ranging potential for treating immune system-related diseases.
– Dr Lindsay Davies
At this stage, these are only laboratory results. We have yet to recreate the effect outside the laboratory and any treatments will be many years away. However, these cells are extremely powerful and offer promise for combating a number of diseases.
The team has now been funded by the Medical Research Council to investigate the cloned cells further, with the hope that the treatment can but used by patients in the future.

How about this one:
NYK gets Carmelo Anthony and T.J. Ford
DEN gets Eddy Curry, Wilson Chandler, Ronny Turiaf, Mike Dunleavy, Bill Walker and our lottery protected pick from this year (and perhaps a future unprotected NYK pick if they have any)
IND gets Al Harrington, Nene Hilario, Anthony Randolph, Landry Fields and some cash considerations (probably from NYK) to buy out our two cheapest contracts and go back down to the 15-man roster.
Why NYK does it: For 'Melo, and for the financial flexibility of acquiring him without having to take back Al Harrington, thus making signing Chris Paul in the future a possibility
Why DEN does it: If they really think they're losing 'Melo for nothing, this trade nets them an immediate $5 million in cap savings, rids them of their worst contract, rids them of another player they may lose for nothing this off-season (Nene has a player option and wants out), lands them an additional pick (or two) and lands them a young prospect in Chandler who could step in and be the future of the team right away. It's not a great deal for one of the NBA's best offensive players, but at least they're not losing him for nothing.
Why IND does it: To address both of the team's biggest needs before all of the expiring contracts become irrelevant. Fields has a high ceiling, and while he's not the offensive player that Rush, or even Dunleavy is, he's young, tough, a good defender and rebounds very well from the position. PF gets a complete overhaul with Nene (who'd be a great fit here, now that he's sort of proven he can stay healthy) and if he splits at the end of the year, Anthony Randolph becomes the consolation prize.
New lineups/rotations:
NYK-Felton/Toney Douglas/Gallinari/'Melo/Stoudemire (perfect for D'Antoni small ball) with Ford/Mason/Shawne Williams and Timofey Mozgov coming off the bench.
DEN-Billups/Afflalo/Chandler/Martin/Chris Andersen (when healthy) with JR Smith/Dunleavy/Walker/Sheldon Williams coming off the bench.
IND-Collison/Fields/Granger/Nene/Hibbert with Price/Rush/Harrington/George and Hansbrough or Randolph coming off the bench.
Possible Hangups:
NYK-They'd be giving up a TON for pretty much just 'Melo. But if it meant they could possibly sign Chris Paul in the future, it'd be tempting. Still, if I'm Donnie Walsh it's hard for me to fathom a situation where I part ways with Wilson Chandler, Landry Fields, cash AND a possible future pick unless it means I'm obviously much better for it. According to John Hollinger, it doesn't make NYK any better (in fact, it only improves us).
DEN-They may think waiting for the 'Melo expiring money to clear up will be a better deal than doing this trade, where they really only get two great assets (Chandler and the Pacers pick), and neither are close to 'Melo-level in value. Also, they may need some NYK money too to pay off some of their over-roster-limit cheap contracts. They may also think a trade package of 'Melo for Curry/Chandler/Gallinari with a future pick would be more attractive.
IND-Aside from taking on Al Harrington's contract (again) It's tough to find one, other than the possibility that Nene may not want to re-sign. He recently said there were three teams he'd be interested in playing for next season, and while he didn't disclose them, I'm guessing Indiana wasn't on his list.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Soon there will be souped-up production for Ford's Super Duty trucks. The company is investing $80 million into the Kentucky Truck Plant and adding 350 workers to increase manufacturing of the F-Series Super Duty truck and Lincoln Navigator.
Ford plans on boosting the amount of trucks produced annually by 55,000. The 15 percent increase in production is due to the increased demand for the truck, according to Ford President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs.
[RELATED STORY: From 17 employees to more than 170,000 Ford continues to grow]
"We're hoping we'll continue to see growth in the US economy and grow truck sales which will allow us to invest even further, but this takes us up to one of our largest capacity plants in America," Hinrichs said.
The new jobs have already been filled by laid off and temporary workers. Ford Motor Company will receive an additional $50 million in state tax incentives made possible by Gov. Steve Beshear and the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. Recent tax breaks brings the total to $290 million in state aid in trade for Ford's promised investment of up to $1.8 billion by 2017
"We have programs for our big manufacturing companies like a Ford Motor Company that will not only keep them here but grow, expand and hire more Kentuckians," Gov. Beshear said.
The 350 jobs brings the hourly UAW workforce to 4,157. That number doesn't include 209 salary employees at the plant. The positions pay $15.78 an hour

February 14, 2007Albany -- Albany State University students came together Wednesday to support the ICAN Resource Centers book drive.
The book drive featured food and music to help attract students to help raise money, books, and much needed school supplies that the ICAN Resource Center provides to disadvantaged school children.
Organizers say the drive was a great idea to help get some much needed supplies. "Their supplies are very limited so we decided to do a book drive. We are accepting donations, books, pencils, notebooks and anything that the young kids can use in school," said ICAN volunteer Melissa Lewis.
The ICAN Resource Center in Albany helps school aged children from four to twelve years of age with homework and much needed school supplies.

In the late 80′s The Swiss and Swedes in the NNSC camp were able to bring back bottles of Ryongson (?) Beer from Panmunjom. We once conducted a blind taste test at the UN Mess with some good American, German, British and Australian beers and in an upset, the North Korean Beer won by a wide margin.

Journey to Destruction
Researchers announced Monday they had injected embryonic stem cells into a patient suffering from a spinal cord injury. It marked the world's first human clinical trial of a procedure developed from such a source. The procedure took place at Shepherd Center, a spinal cord injury facility in Atlanta. The use of embryonic stem cells for such purposes had been banned under the Bush administration, but allowed under the Obama administration.
The question is why?
In June 2009, Chinese scientists were the first in the world to induce cells from pigs to transform into pluripotent stem cells. Last April, the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego announced the discovery of a new technique that makes artificial stem cells safer for human transplantation.
The artificial cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells, are made from fully differentiated adult cells, regressed back into an embryonic-like state. These act-alike embryonic stem cells don't carry the ethical difficulties of real embryonic stem cells, taken from days-old embryos.
President Obama, like President Clinton before him, claims to want to make abortion "safe, legal and rare." It is reasonable to say that curbing the use of embryonic stem cells might help make abortion if not less common, then at least less acceptable and restore a small scintilla of respect for human life as something more valuable than, say, a cabbage, or other species in the animal kingdom that enjoy the protection of law.
The answer to the "why?" question has something to do with how we view ourselves. If you are an evolutionist who does not believe in a Creator who endowed us with the right to life, you might be more liberal in your approach to manipulating human tissue for the "benefit" of others. But that still doesn't justify using embryonic stem cells when artificial ones appear to function just as well.
If, on the other hand, you think "playing God" is not good for the human race and that other ways to relieve suffering can, should and, in fact, are being discovered, you are more likely to want to control human urges to do whatever can be done in a laboratory.
Appeals to the uniqueness of human life are likely to fall on deaf ears if you are an evolutionist. Reminders of the horrors unrestrained scientists have created in the past are likely to be viewed as an aberration.
In retrospect, great horrors are usually seen as springing up full-formed. Many people didn't notice the small steps that led to the Nazi Holocaust or to the selling of African slaves in the public square. Senses must first be dulled; religion trivialized; and self enthroned before tolerance for the horrific is accepted.
After the fact, even those who turned a blind eye to such things wonder aloud how it could have happened. Awards are bestowed on those who see evil before it conquers us and try to stop its advance, but not on historians who might have sounded a warning and live only to write about it later.
Threats from foreign powers are not the only challenge to our existence. Threats from inner powers can also destroy, though more slowly and imperceptibly than an atom bomb or terrorist attack.
American novelist Walker Percy saw clearly where the tinkering with human life leads. In "The Thanatos Syndrome," Percy writes, "You are a member of the first generation of doctors in the history of medicine to turn their backs on the oath of Hippocrates and kill millions of old, useless people, unborn children, born malformed children, for the good of mankind -- and to do so without a single murmur from one of you. Not a single letter of protest in the august New England Journal of Medicine. And do you know what you're going to end up doing? You a graduate of Harvard and a reader of the New York Times and a member of the Ford Foundation's Program for the Third World? Do you know what is going to happen to you? ... You're going to end up killing Jews."

Wow. I thought I had heard it all when embryonic stem cell research had become an abortion issue, but now you relate it to the Holocaust? Naziism?
But that still doesn't justify using embryonic stem cells when artificial ones appear to function just as well.
Appear to function just as well? Where is the research to back this up? The fact of the matter here is once we see how the test subject responds to the stem cells, we won't know with any certainty just how valuable this type of stem cell is. And while those who are opposed may not like it, they will still benefit from the scientific and medical achievements accomplished by the research.

And how many therapies have come from ESCR?
Submitted by Wonder95 on Thu, 10/14/2010 - 3:34pm.
Well Mr. Dead Kennedy, there's always the fact that there has yet to be any therapies derived from embryonic stem cells, but there are many that have been derived and used with great success from adult stem cells, along with the fact that embroyinic stem cells continue to have issues with tumors that adult stem cells don't have. I suppose you can continue to hold on to what might happen, but considering the advances in therapies derived from adult stem cells and the complete failure to this point of embryonic stem cells generating anything useful (other than money for ideological researchers), you will be holding on that for a long time.

You know what else they've failed to cure? AIDS. But you know, with your kind of thinking we should just give up because, well, other medical options exist that can sustain life with HIV for decades.
Science continues, regardless of how many opponents they have. Only continued study with all available options will provide cures to what we need and/or desire.
Any chance you have an unbiased source? I could link to several pro-ESCR sites, but I'd bet the information within would do little to change your position.

Hard to be biased against the list of actual therapies
Submitted by Wonder95 on Thu, 10/14/2010 - 6:49pm.
Wow. So was that list at the link I provided biased? Are those not actual therapies derived from adult stem cells? And how do you get around the simple fact that there have been many therapies derived from adult stem cells, and absolutely none from embryonic cells? Do you think that if you click your heels together three times and say" embryonic stem cells can work, embryonic stem cells can work" that it will happen? The facts are simple:
- Embryonic stem cells develop tumors that prevent them from being useful
- Adult stem cells have the same pluripotency as embryonic cells
You can appeal to the unknown all you want, but that really hasn't produced any actual results, has it? And based on past and current knowledge ESCR won't be curing anything any time soon.
In regards to your AIDS analogy, that's a load of crap, simply because AIDS research has actually produced something, where ESCR hasn't. You know what the definition of insanity is, right? Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. Seems to apply to ESCR.
So what drives this desire for people like you to continually push for research with embryonic cells? Answer: it certainly isn't science, it's worldview. Pro-ESCR people just can't accept the fact that it's not necessary to destroy life to cure disease.

Do you know how many years
Submitted by Guttermouth's Return on Thu, 10/14/2010 - 8:24pm.
Do you know how many years they've been researching adult stem cells? 50 years. And how many years we've been researching embryonic stem cells? 12. But because you want to make it a pro-life issue, you're suggesting an end to ESCR and everything they've accomplished, and everything they will accomplish.
That's pretty selfish if you ask me. This kind of science benefits the entire world. Embryonic stem cells can become any type of cell, while adult stem cells can only create the type of cell from which it was drawn.
In other words, stop science and win one for the pro-lifers.
You know how big a cell is?

Oh, please do tell, what is everything they've accomplished so far, (other than getting taxpayers to fund research that private inudustry realized long ago was a dead end)? You have been avoiding that point from the beginning. Please enlighten us with one therapy that ESCR has produced. All you need is one.
You tell me what's more selfish: forcing the taxpayers to fund reasearch that has yet to produce any actual results and continues to fail, or using research that time and again has produced viable therapies with documented success.
And I'm supposedly the one being selfish...

Did you even read the link I posted, or have you just decided upon yourself that ESCR hasn't accomplished anything?
It's been 12 years now that scientists have been working with ESCs. In comparison, scientists have been working on ASCs for 50 years. AIDS research, 30 years.
12 years. Cancer still has no cure, and they've been studying that for centuries. Yet here we are 12 years after the start of ESCR with the first human test subject.
The Promise of Stem Cells
Studying stem cells will help us understand how they transform into the dazzling array of specialized cells that make us what we are. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are due to problems that occur somewhere in this process. A better understanding of normal cell development will allow us to understand and perhaps correct the errors that cause these medical conditions.
Another potential application of stem cells is making cells and tissues for medical therapies. Today, donated organs and tissues are often used to replace those that are diseased or destroyed. Unfortunately, the number of people needing a transplant far exceeds the number of organs available for transplantation. Pluripotent stem cells offer the possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat a myriad of diseases, conditions, and disabilities including Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury, burns, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
You do realize it takes years, sometimes decades (and in the case of cancer, centuries) to learn the benefits of scientific study or to cure a disease. So far your only argument has consisted of "well it's been long enough."
I don't accept that.

Turning it into a pro-life argument?
Submitted by KC Mulville on Fri, 10/15/2010 - 2:35am.
With respect, it's a pro-life argument from the beginning.
- You can't start from the premise that we oppose science, period, or feel threatened by science in general. That's just a straw man, making us out to be Luddite enemies of innovation, hell-bent on stopping science.
- If it didn't involve the destruction of embryos, we'd be all for it.
- Proof? We support developing stem cells from sources that don't kill embryos in the process. The only reason we're against it is because it violates life in the first place.
People like me believe that life starts from the moment of conception. Genetically, everything that is now you and me was present from the moment of our conception. We can debate that point, but later.
For now, the point is that once we consider life to begin at the moment of conception, logic forces us to defend that life, no matter how small.
And, by the same logic, you can't counter-argue that destroying the embryo will save lives. Sure they might, but at the expense of the lives of the embryos that you kill in the process. You're trading the definite death of embryos for the possible benefits (as yet unproven, by the way) to help adults.
ADK, as you might guess, I've spent a lot of time in this moral neighborhood. I've got a lot of arguments ready to tee up, but let me pause here, in case you want to respond to any points I've offered here.

I was hoping I'd run into you again soon, KC.
This is a difficult issue to debate as both of us have core beliefs that stand as the foundation of our arguments.
The question, "When Does Life Begin?" is something we must answer alone. But in addition to that, we must also weigh the pros and cons of ESCR.
From what I understand, the 2 cons presented are:
1) You're destroying a potential life
2) No progress has been made, so we should focus on other means,
The first is difficult to argue, since it's owned by our core beliefs. If I understand your position, you believe a life is a life is a life, regardless of whether it's a cell, an embryo, or the growing baby inside the womb. While I respect your beliefs, my own tell me that using ESCs, the tiniest cells that make up our DNA, to research and possibly cure some of the worst diseases and injuries known today... I don't see it as destroying life, but giving life.
The second is not as difficult to argue. Scientists have been studying mankind's diseases for centuries, and many still remain a mystery. But as long as there is a disease, someone will be fighting for a cure. And when scientists discover something like ESCs, cells that can become any other type of cell, they understand the huge potential of such cells. It may take 50 years for scientists to understand the full potential of ESCs, but I'm willing to wait.
Which brings us back to our core beliefs. You see ESCR as destroying a life, while I see it as giving and saving life.

Not one single cure has been developed from embryonic stem cells. In fact, because embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated, they have a tendency to form malignant cancers.
Adult stem cells are already being used to treat many conditions, and can be harvested without causing harm to anyone. They also don't turn into cancer.
I wonder how long it will take for this thread to disappear entirely into the right margin?

ADK, all you do is appeal to the unknown - what might happen. How long do you keep running into dead ends while a perfectly valid option exists that actually works? After a point (and that point has already passed), it becomes clear that it's more about your ideology than the actual science and the therapies that are produced.

This is why I paused
Submitted by KC Mulville on Fri, 10/15/2010 - 2:07pm.
Three items of contention:
- Belief about when human life begins is something that "we must answer alone."
- You disagree that taking stem cells from embryos destroys life because embryos are really tiny.
- The pluripotency of stem cells justifies getting the cells from embryos.
Let me take them in that order.
- If we were discussing abstract and academic notions of when life begins, we would all be permitted the luxury of enjoying our private beliefs. But the question isn't merely abstract. The answer is the dividing line between whether we're killing fellow human beings. It demands a public policy. That's the injustice of current abortion law. To the question, "are we killing human beings?", the law (Roe v. Wade) answers: "decide for yourself." Well no, that's the job of the law. If the current law argued that fetuses are not human beings, that would be one thing. At least the law would be law, and we could bring reason to bear. But the current law refuses to answer the question, thus dodging its obligations as law. It decrees a result without allowing criticism (and therefore possible revision) of its reasoning. You can't ask the question "are we killing fellow human beings?" and say that the answer is up to each individual. That's intellectually dishonest.
- Pardon the pun, but why does size matter?
- Healthy teenagers have strong hearts and kidneys. Those same organs would help a lot of older people survive longer. Does that "benefit" justify removing the hearts and kidneys from teenagers? Sure, you'd be curing disease for one group, but you'd be killing the teenagers. I say the principle is the same. If your cure requires killing human beings to "help" others, you're not really advancing the ball downfield, are you?

So this brings us to an even
Submitted by Guttermouth's Return on Fri, 10/15/2010 - 2:33pm.
So this brings us to an even simpler argument: no matter what, in your beliefs destroying an embryo is the equivalent of destroying a life.
Where do you feel life begins? At conception? Is it okay for women to donate their eggs? Or men to donate sperm? I'm not asking to be a wise guy, I'm just curious as to how deep your beliefs are rooted.
Now onto a theoretical question: Why is human life more important than all other life forms? Why do we demand that an embryo be saved, while maintaining such disregard for other life?
In other words, would you be okay if scientists were researching canine ESCs? That too would be destroying (or giving) life. But I'm unfamiliar with God's position on all other mammals, so I leave that for you to answer (if you would indulge me).
1) I don't understand why you think the idea of when life starts is up to debate. It's always up for debate. At this very moment you're arguing that an embryo is a human life. I argue that it isn't. Much like we are only in the beginning stages of ESCR, an embryo is an early stage of life. ESCR needs time to develop into its' own life. The cluster of stem cells from a human embryo are too small to see without a microscope. So where you see human life, I see cells with the potential for great success.
2) I think I addressed it above, but to clarify - it's not about the size, it's about what the size represents. ESC are not human beings, but are what will become a human being.
3) You're comparing the killing of a teenager to the destruction of cells at the earliest stage of development. A teenager is a walking, talking human being. A cluster of cells is...a cluster of cells.

Human life
Submitted by KC Mulville on Fri, 10/15/2010 - 3:26pm.
- It's precisely because I don't know when life begins exactly that I take the approach I do. It's not that I can identify how conception brings life; I only know that it wasn't life before conception. That's as far back as I can go. No sperm develops into a human being until it finds an egg. No egg develops into a human being until it receives the sperm. But once the egg is fertilized, the development from that to an aged human being is constant.
- Why do we prize human life above others? I have answers, but it would require quite a few sub-arguments (and endless philosophical treatises) to explain. For the moment, let me leave it at this, knowing that I'm leaving you hanging ... there are two kinds of morality. One is religious, in which your behavior is strictly based on rules bequeathed by a deity. The other treats morality as a "deal." I won't kill you if you won't kill me. I will treat you as I wish to be treated. Morality, as a whole, functions as a social contract. That contract has many provisions, but one provision is that I won't harm you unless I absolutely have to, to save my own survival. To be able to reciprocate in such a contract, you need to be able to make rational calculations and rational decisions. The morality contract requires, therefore, rational consciousness. Since human beings are the only known species that can make those rational calculations and rational decisions, humans get first dibs.
I pause, since this likely could provoke response, and we don't want to bite off too much at any one time.

Well I can't argue with your first point since it is all factually correct. And since I've made my position as clearly as I can, I don't think there's much more I can say that will contribute to the debate. You and I aren't here to change each other's views; only to help one another understand our views.
On point 2, I like your explanation. And it could certainly lead us into a much longer debate (I'm always happy to discuss a number of topics with you). As a very non-religious person I can only rely on the theoretical for myself, but also the thoughts and ideas from someone like you.
But this does bring us back to the topic of morality, on which I can only hope Newsbusters brings back the comments from the morality forum CandanceMoore created several months back. It's a shame to lose so many good discussions.

With respect, Ted, I agree that we bring out ideas. But I can't say I know what yours are, with respect to when life begins. I understand that you think the smallest of cells doesn't deserve the same protection as a fully-grown adult. Fair enough, but where do we draw that line? And more importantly, why draw it there?

Where does one **HARVEST** embryonic stem cells?
The answer to this question is the answer to your own question.
I am going to speculate that if the Nazis, Soviets or anybody else had been murdering Jews for the purpose of harvesting their tissues, you would be all wrapped around your axle about it, but let someone harvest tissue from "embryos", in reality, developing fetuses for the treatment of some unrelated third parties, and you are incredulous that someone thinks this is a moral outrage.

I think it's safe to say that 99.9% of Philadelphia hates Donovan McNabb and most Eagles fans would sacrifice every first born male in the city to see him traded to Minnesota, Carolina, or Arizona. After reading EvilBanner's post on the horrors of smiling, I could feel the hatred radiating from the user comments like a nuclear explosion in the desert. Well, fellow BGN members, I have more reasons for you hate your probable 2010 quarterback... and they don't involve the words "choke," "dirtball" or "interception."
I must warn you... you're not going to like this.
Reason #1: The Donovan McNabb Fund
Back in 2000, Donovan decided that he would open up his own foundation called the Donovan McNabb Fund to raise awareness of a particular type of illness. Now, think of all the world's diseases... Cancer. AIDS. The Black Plague. These are all dangers that strike fear into the hearts of even the world's strongest men. But do you want to know which type of illness the Donovan McNabb Fund is trying to prevent? Do you? Well, it diabetes. DIABETES!
Seriously!? Come on, Donovan! Can't you pick a different illness to focus on instead of diabetes? My uncle has diabetes and all he has to do is take a shot every now and then and lay off Big League Chew. In June, Donovan McWilfordbrimley was named "Father of the Year" by the American Diabetes Association at a dinner where he raised $100,000. Sheesh. Tom Brady would have raised at least a quarter million. $100,000? What a jerk.
Reason #2: Poor Sportsmanship
Yes, we all despise the dancing and the smiling and the air guitar. But look at this video...
I feel nauseous. The worst part is that this was at a High School in front of innocent children. Oh the humanity!
Reason #3: Superficial Community Involvement
This past Spring, Donovan agreed to allow the Associated Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired to use his likeness for a poster and donor card that was distributed throughout the Philadelphia region. Um, Donovan... What good is a poster for the blind, IF THEY CAN'T EVEN SEE IT!!! That's like distributing #5 headphones to the deaf.
Also at the beginning of the school year, Donovan taped a phone message for the Philly's school districts that went out to 170,000 Philadelphia homes encouraging parents and kids enrolled in public schools to attend a "Back to School" orientation for the upcoming school year. If the guy really cared that much, he would have knocked on everybody's doors and told them in person about the importance of education... but what would Donovan know about academics? I mean, he has a B.S. in Speech Communication. Dummy.
Of course, this post was done is parody and jest. The anti-McNabb posts are getting redundant and extremely old (so are the anti-Kolb ones for that matter). Chances are (and I could be wrong), this guy will be leading the troops next season. So, let's all just cool down a bit... but I know that won't happen. Let the hatespeech begin!

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Jered Weaver tossed 7 2/3 solid innings as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim downed the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-3, in the third test of a four-game set.
Weaver (6-5) gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks while fanning five to earn his third win in as many decisions.
Kole Calhoun hit a solo homer while Howie Kendrick, Mark Trumbo, Chris Nelson and Erick Aybar added one RBI apiece for the Angels, who have taken the first three games of the series.
"Guys are having good at-bats. Everybody has been swinging the bats well, including the guys we brought up," said Kendrick.
Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton each scored two runs in the win.
Brett Lawrie hit a solo homer while Edwin Encarnacion and J.P. Arencibia each added one RBI for the Blue Jays.
Esmil Rogers (3-6) was tagged for seven runs -- five earned -- on 10 hits over five innings to absorb the loss.
The Halos took a 3-0 lead in the first inning. With the bases loaded, Trumbo grounded into a force out, but it was enough to score Trout. Aybar followed with a base hit to center to score Hamilton and Nelson capped the frame with an RBI single to right.
Lawrie led off the third with a homer to pull the Blue Jays within 3-1.
LA broke the game open with a four-run fifth. Calhoun opened the frame with his second homer of the season. Trout was then hit by a pitch and Hamilton singled to put two on with no outs for Kendrick, who ripped a single to center. Colby Rasmus' throw to the plate was off target allowing Trout to score easily, but Arencibia tried to get Kendrick who broke for second. Arencibia's throw missed high and rolled deep into right-center allowing both runners to come around.
Encarnacion singled home Calhoun in the sixth and Arencibia's ground out in the seventh allowed Rasmus to score, accounting for the final differential.
"We spotted them three and it was an uphill battle from there. We just couldn't do anything with Weaver," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons.
LA went 4-for-6 with runners in scoring position ... Trumbo has 66 RBI this
season ... Kendrick went 3-for-4 and extended his hitting streak to eight
games ... The Blue Jays were 1-for-5 with RISP and left five runners on base
... Rogers hasn't won since June 18.
