Fort Bend County Sheriff's deputies are looking for two men wanted for robbing two businesses one hour apart.
Both crimes happened on December 20, 2013, in Fort Bend County. The men held up a cell phone store and a salon.
Fort Bend County Sheriff's deputies said the two men robbed the Get Wireless Cricket Store located in the 9400 block of Highway 6 South at 5:40 p.m.
One man was wearing a white baseball cap and what appeared to be a white t-shirt wrapped around his face. He was holding a handgun and he told everyone in the store to get on the ground. The second man was wearing a white hoodie.
People inside the store told deputies the second thief called the man with the gun "Chris." The first man took cash from the register while the other watched the door.
Deputies believe the same two men robbed the RJ Salon one hour later starting at 6:38 p.m. The salon is located near the Get Wireless Cricket store, across Highway 6.
Deputies said the first man still had a t-shirt wrapped around his face. According to deputies, he told a salon worker to open the cash drawer. The man then took the cash and the pair left the building.
If you have any information that can help deputies find the robbery suspects, contact Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers. The phone number is 281-342-TIPS (8477). You can also text your tip to CRIMES (274637).

Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune has an article that talks about Sammie Stroughter's strong pre-season in Tampa Bay, and that he has, according to Bucs coach Raheem Morris, made the team as a seventh round draft choice.
He's a steal, who are we kidding?
Cliff McBride's photo shows the familiar joy on Sammie's face, which as Oregon State knows, and the Oregonian's Paul Buker described in this morning's edition, disappeared for a while, but returned in full glory. And happily for everyone in Beaver nation, is still there.
Have to agree with Paul totally, it is impossible not to be totally pumped any time the subject of Sammy comes up.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (WFLX) - The jury has found John Goodman guilty on both counts.
Previously: Jurors in the trial surrounding Wellington polo tycoon John Goodman have asked to re-hear the three 911 calls made the night of the 2010 fatal crash that took the life of 23-year-old Scott Wilson.
Jury members resumed deliberations Friday morning at 8 a.m. Around 10:20 a.m., jurors also asked 15th Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Colbath for a transcript of the telephone call Goodman made to 911 nearly one hour after the February 12, 2010, accident.
Jurors began deliberations Thursday afternoon, just after 4:30, and deliberated for about 30 minutes before being excused for the day.
Jurors could find Goodman guilty of DUI manslaughter and failure to render aid, vehicular homicide with failure to give aid or information or a lesser offense.
Goodman faces up to 30 years in prison if he is convicted.

The proof is in the pudding! Look at the draft from a few different ways and you can see one major thing standing out. Either John Fox really loves the panthers organization and is setting the future coach up very well, or he knows what he wants from his team and drafted by what he needed for this year and the next few years.
This is not the first time Foxy has let older players go in hopes that his younger players will perform up to his expectations. This was done with Brentson Buckner, Mushin Muhammad, Jeff Hartwig, Stephen Davis, Mark Fields, Sam Mills, Rickey Prohle, Wesley Walls, Steve Burline and the list goes on and on. via media.scout.com
Fox and Hurney took allot of criticism for not doing enough to replace the talent that they lost over the past four or five years. But it really it has more to do with players not living up to the expectations that many of them actually earned.
More After Jump ...
Case in point. When Carolina needed a Wr they drafted one his name was Rea Carruth (I know John Fox did not draft Rea). We all no how that worked out. But they also drafted a guy named Steve Smith. The thing is that Mr. Smith was drafted to be the replacement for Micheal Bates a KR/PR. Many Carolina fans were up in arms over the fact that Bates was being replaced, that was until 89 hit the field. Fox and Hurney don't get enough credit for recognizing that Smith was actually a pretty good reciver and used him to replace Donald Hayes in 2003. When Smith was hurt who did they call on but a young rookie named Keary Colbert.
And for that one year it looked like Carolina struck gold, but Keary must have taken one hit and flip to many because he was never able to repeat his performances.
So when you do take a look at the rosters each time Carolina let a "big name" enter free agency, they had a younger guy they drafted that they thought would fill-in nicely for that guy. And the philosophy has worked in the past three drafts only Jeff Otah was selected with the immediate idea of starting. (Jon Beason Started due to Dan Morgan's Injury, which we all saw coming)
As Panther fans we should feel very lucky. We have a coach that was able to build his team by drafting the guys he wanted, develop those guys and make them starters. (41 out of 53 members of this years team will have been drafted by Carolina) And Furney has shown that they will give a guy atleast two seasons to prove himself, then and only then do they go after free agents.
Somebody please do some research and find out what WR's and DT's will be free agents because Fox And Hurney wont be changing plans any time soon.
This was my first post on this site how did I do?

Sports Illustrated conducted a poll of 200+ NFL players and asked them who was the dirtiest player. Our own Steve Smith made the list at #12. Normally I could care less about these types of polls but for some reason I find this one way off base. What exactly do they mean by 'meanest'?
Is it 'meanest' player as in badest player? Fierce? Feisty? If so then I agree.
image via www.fantasysportsgab.com
If they 'meanist' as in personality and the way he treats people and/or plays the game then I have to protest. While I might agree when on the field he typically walks around with a scowl on his face (except for a few minutes after scoring) so I guess that could be construed as being mean.
Now if they ran a poll asking who talked the maddest smack on the field he just might win that one. I've always thought if Smith were not a Panther and instead a Falcon or Buc I would probably hate him with a passion. He showboats a good bit but he also backs it up with amazing plays on the field and that is enough to send any diehard opposing fan over the edge. But I doubt I would think he was mean.
Steve Smith is not a mean guy, I can tell you that. He puts up a tough guy persona in front of fans and the media but I bet he's a softy at home. If you see him in person signing autographs and talking to fans you can tell he really loves kids and is usually cordial to most. Okay, he can be moody too but that's only cause Foxy wouldn't (or Clausen couldn't) throw the ball to him!
Here's a poll they should give the players: Who's the toughest player under 5' 10" tall that after scoring a 40+ yard TD on your ass talked so much wild smack you couldn't help but laugh?

Alex McCord
April 4th, 2011
Iconic model Wilhelmina Cooper, whose career began in the 50s and spanned through the 70s, still holds the record as the model who graced the cover of American Vogue the most. She gave New York City housewives a good name (and face).
This season New York Models signed Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City star Alex McCord – and we wanted to see how she would fare as the original model-slash-housewife.

This season the Knicks have been blessed with great PG play, the best since Walt was running the point in the 70's and that may have more to do with us being a playoff team than anything else, But Billups has a player option and even if picked up he still expires next year.
There are 3 (or 4) main options what to do when that happens, Obviously the best case scenario would be to trade for (or sign) Chris Paul (or Deron Williams) but with the new CBA this may not be possible :( that leaves us with plans B and C, which arnt so bad themselfs.
There has been recent talk of extending Chauncy Billups, an idea which I strongly rejected at first but since have come to embrace...yes, at 34 he is no spring chicken, but i do think he has as much gas in the tank and tread on the tires as Kidd and Nash had at 34, i do believe he will be able to play at his current level until 38
Plan C would be to pick up Billups option for next year, and bring Felton back in 2012. I think he has won over the hearts of Knicks fans during his time here and is more of a long term option than Billups, he had great chemistry with Stoudemire and would be a great replacment for his replacment (if that made any sence)
So who would you want to be our PG in 2012 and beyond? CP3/Dwill, Billups or Felton and why?

Tebow has had his first start and demonstrated, to me at least, that he should be allowed to start for the Denver Broncos in 2011. The decision to move on from McDaniels in the books. As some of you know, I felt he should have been given more time to make the monumental changes necessary to rebuild a franchise that had grown to accustomed to mediocre results. That ship has sailed, but my love for the Broncos has not. Follow me after the jump, if you would like to know how I think the Broncos can improve their team with the 2011 NFL draft.
I know that it is not always popular to mock the draft with trades, but I just can't help myself. In addition to the uncertainty with draft trades, the Broncos don't know what system they will run or who will run it. Given the uncertainty, I will assume for now that the Broncos will keep they same 3-4 defense. I also believe that the emphasis on versatility on the offensive line, make it flexible enough for any system. So here we go.
With the second overall pick in the 2011 draft the Denver Broncos select Patrick Peterson CB LSU.
At '6'1& 211lbs with elite speed and ball skills, Patrick Peterson has a rare combination of qualities that allow him to be an immediate impact player for the Denver Broncos. In addition, Patrick upgrades our return game giving him additional value. Peterson will virtually take away half the field like Champ Bailey did in his prime, and will be needed as I believe Champ will be gone.
I know the front seven needs work, but I believe the depth in this draft is very good at the DL position, as a result I believe Peterson is the right pick with the second overall selection.
Alternative Picks
If Peterson is off the Board I beleive that Marcell Darius or Nick Fairely would be good picks here.
With the 34th overall pickThe Denver Broncos choose whoever falls between Stephen Paea, J.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Allen Bailey, Drake Nevis, Corey Liuget.
The draft is loaded with DE/DT talent throughout the draft especially at the bottom half of the first round and top of the second round. While it would be difficult to point to one of these guys and say he will be there with the 34th pick one of them is bound to fall. I think the wisdom is in taking Patrick Peterson with the first pick and being patient to take whichever DL falls to us at 34.
Any one of these players listed above would add a playmaker at the DE position and compete with Vickerson and Bannan for the starting job.
Alternative Picks
Jenoris Jenkins CB Florida, Ahmad Black FS Florida
Trade Alert
The Minnesota Vikings trade the 46th overall pick to the Denver Broncos for Kyle Orton.
With the 46th overall pick the Denver Broncos choose Martez Wilson ILB Illinois.
At '6' 4 & 250 lbs, Wilson would add the combination of size and speed that Denver has lacked at the SILB position. Matez is a tackling machine with 110 tackles for Illinois this year. With 4 sacks he has also proved an abikity to get into the backfield.
With the 47th overall pick(from the Miami Dolphins) the Denver Broncos select Tyler Sash FS Iowa.
All this guy does is tackle! Against top tier competition in the Big 10 Sash has accounted for 72 tackles in his junior year and 210 for his 3 year career. And no I am not Sayre with an alternate login!!
Mark Barron FS Alabama
Trade Alert
The Denver Broncos trade Champ Bailey and his 1 year tender to the New England Patriots for the 64th overall pick in the 2011 draft.
With the 64th overall pick the Denver Broncos select whoever falls between Jerrell Powe DT, Jarvis Jenkins, or Kenrick Ellis .
This again is one of those scenarios where it is difficult ot know which of these gentlemen will fall but one of them will likely be there and add the depth behind Jamal Williams to take over as the started in 2012.
NOTE: I hope we sign champ to a 4 year deal and pay the man, but I do not beleive we can do this so I think we will franchise him and trade him for a pick or picks.
Witht the 70th overall pick of the NFL draft the Denver Broncos select Luke Stocker TE Tennessee
At '6' 6 & 253 LBS Stocker has good hands and moves well. He would be a good player to add to Gronkowski and Richard Quinn to round out the TE positon for 2010. Yes we do take 1 offensive player in the first 3 rounds.
With the 98th overall pick the Denver Broncos select Noel Devine RB WVU
at 180 LBS with track speed, it is a bit of a stretch for Devine to be here but I believe he falls and Denver picks up a great 3rd down back to go with Moreno and Ball.
With a lot of defensive help and a couple of key additions to the offense I believe we go into training camp with the following depth chart plus whatever we are able to add through free agency.
LDE Bannan/Thomas NT Williams/Powe Jenkins Ellis RDE Watt Heyward Bailey/ Vickerson
LOLB Ayers/Haggen ROLB Doom/Hunter
LCB Patrick Peterson/COX SILB Wilson/Mays WILB Williams/Woodyard Nickle COx/Squid RCB Goodman/Cox
SS Hill/Bruton FS McBath/Sash
LOT Clady/Clark LG Beadles/Olson C Walton/Byers RG Kuper/Olson ROT Harris/Beadles
LWR LLOYD/Decker Slot Royal/Decker TE Quinn/Stocker/Gronkowski RWR Thomas/Gaffney
QB Tebow/Quinn RB Moreno/Ball/Devine
There you have it. BronxBlues first 2011 Mock Draft. The first 4 rounds. Corner, DE, ILB, NT for your first four picks all in the first 2 rounds. With a couple offensive selections to fill a couple of key needs.
Let me know what you think!

"That's a target as a professional (making MMA career). In my case the injuries has held me. The mixed martial arts is a field in which I'm not used to and I can't wait to fight once again. I'm still recovering from a knee lesion. I only make slow trainings with my students. This year I'm resigned I won't fight. I'm going to fight in the United States next year. I've negotiated my return to March. I'd like to confirm when I was healthy from the injury not to come back from my decision. I think it is important to get the rhythm but as I already have a name, I know they won't give me a pushover but I'll choose an event to give moral."
Two-time jiu-jitsu world champion Alexandre Ribeiro has two fights in mixed martial arts -- both ending by way of (T)KO under the Japanese organization Sengoku. "Xande" was forced to keep himself away from both MMA and jiu-jitsu competitions due to knee injury but the "Arena Team" product promises to be back next spring and doesn't want his future employer to give him a can as his first opponent. Anyone want to take a guess as to when and where he shows up?

Let me start out by saying no mentioning the idea of Clements moving to Safety. Sing said he wants Nate back as a Cornerback. Yeah, coaches don't always tell the truth or have a way of not entirely divulging what exactly they mean by a particular comment...but let's just not go there for the time being.
That being said, I think we have a real issue at Safety. Mark Roman is not loved by anyone amongst 49ers fans at least. Perhaps he was just always at the wrong place at the right time, or would that be the other way around? Anyways my point being we'll forever remember plays like the final one that ended the Vikings game in 2009.
So what to do? Assuming Roman is gone that leaves us with Curtis Taylor, Reggie Smith, Dashon Goldson and Michael Lewis. Lewis turns 30, ironically, right around the 2010 draft in April. He's a guided missile but nearly useless in pass coverage. In fact, he comes into the box as a second LB in Nickel situations.
Goldson is starting to get the Safety position though arguably he may be better suited to play SS unless he continues to grow in his coverage abilities.
That leaves us with two young players in Taylor and Smith. Smith seemed to be doing well last off-season before he was sidelined with a nagging groin injury that kept him out of the lineup well into the regular season. He finished the season with zeo stats on defense. Reggie Smith plays the Free Safety position currently when healthy.
Taylor was injured and placed on IR mid-to-late 2009 season and I've heard from some that he "projects to be on someone's practice squad" in the near future. I'm not even entirely sure if he would play Free or Strong Safety were he healthy, though I'd assume FS.
So here we sit with potentially no backup SS to our aging, concussion prone Michael Lewis. Add to that we have a young Dashon Goldson who, while showing promise, has no real proven backup either.
I think that all of this points to Safety being a very real need in the off-season. I don't think we can afford to mess around with the position and simply add more young guys "for depth" who cannot make an immediate impact if needed. I honestly feel that by the second round we need to come away with a solid safety prospect and possibly also acquire one in FA or via trade.
If it was a later round decision, I like the Myron Rolle idea. But then I think to myself, "you're talking about a late round guy...Can he really contribute right away?" The reason I think he could is that he's motivated and he's smart.
So NN, thoughts?

Dark Knight stays atop with $64M
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — The Dark Knight Rises stayed atop the box office for the second straight weekend, making just over US$64 million. But it's lagging behind the staggering numbers of its predecessor, 2008's The Dark Knight.
The final piece in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy has now grossed more than US$289 million in its first 10 days in theatres. It dropped 60 per cent from its opening weekend of US$160.9 million.
By comparison, The Dark Knight took a 53 per cent drop in its second weekend with a gross of nearly US$75.2 million and a 10-day cumulative gross of US$313.8 million.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros, declined to comment on the estimates again out of respect for the victims of the Aurora, Colorado, shooting that left 12 people dead and another 58 injured at a midnight showing of the film on opening night.
But people are still going to the movies, and they did so even last weekend, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. If anything hurt the numbers for all movies this weekend, he said, it was Friday night's opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which drew a record-setting 40.7 million viewers in the United States.
"For a film that opened as big as this did, considering the situation and what happened last weekend and all that, I would say this is a very strong showing," Dergarabedian said. "It's made almost $300 million in North America and its mid-week (attendance) is very strong. It made $19 million last Monday."
In second place this weekend was the animated family film Ice Age: Continental Drift, which is still going strong in its third week. It made $13.3 million for a domestic total of nearly $114.9 million. The fourth movie in the 20th Century Fox franchise features the voices of Ray Romano, Denis Leary and Queen Latifah.
Both of the new movies in wide release opened weakly. The 20th Century Fox comedy The Watch came in third place with $13 million. And Step Up Revolution — the fourth film in the dance franchise, which is set in Miami this time — opened at No 4 with $11.8 million. Richie Fay, Lionsgate's president of domestic distribution, said the number was a little disappointing because the studio expected it to end up in the mid-teens. But the core audience for the previous three Step Up films showed up: 63 per cent was female and 71 per cent was under age 24.
As for new movies in limited release, Fox Searchlight's Ruby Sparks grossed $151,881 in 13 theatres for a strong per-screen average of $11,683. Since its opening Wednesday, it has made $191,717. The romantic comedy from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine stars Paul Dano as a novelist with writer's block who creates his dream girl, played by Zoe Kazan, who also wrote the script.
And LD Entertainment's Killer Joe, the NC-17-rated crime thriller from director William Friedkin, made US$37,864 at three theatres in Manhattan for a $12,621 per-screen average. In his darkest performance yet, Matthew McConaughey plays a Dallas police detective with a side gig as a hit man. Emile Hirsch, Thomas Haden Church, Gina Gershon and Juno Temple co-star as the lowlifes who play crucial roles in this twisted plot.

It's Not The Flag, Stupid
by patrick h. brady
Its the Constitution! The 1989 Supreme Court decision defining flag burning as free speech should outrage every American, flag burners as well as those who love Old Glory. That decision defiled our sacred Constitution and we should all be upset whether or not we care one whit about the flag.
The Constitution is our only protection against tyranny. It is the source of our virtue as a people, a virtue which gives us the strength to protect and defend ourselves from any external enemy on this planet. Our Constitution is also the source of most of the freedom in the world, paid for by the blood and sweat of our veterans who swore to protect and defend it.
Those veterans did not swear allegiance to a king or a queen or a dictator or a party, they swore allegiance to the Constitution, a set of values. The values in the Constitution reflect the ideals and vision of our Founders, ideals that are timeless, ideals that should not be hacked away by passing political hacks. Calling flag burning "free speech" profanes the Founding Fathers' definition of free speech, a vital element of the first Amendment to our Constitution.
Our Founders knew that if the people were to replace autocrats and properly exercise their responsibility as rulers, they needed to be politically able to freely express themselves verbally and in writing. And they needed to be free to peacefully assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The Founders were dedicated to rational and reasoned rhetoric. They knew that when rhetoric failed, violence reigned. They never intended that any one be allowed to substitute hateful violent conduct for reasonable rational speech.
Burning the flag is not rhetoric, it is not reasonable or rational and it has no part in a peaceful assembly. Only tyrants who are unable to properly articulate their cause, but seek power at any cost, take their venom out on helpless people or objects. In truth, personal power is their only cause.
If the founders feared anything they feared the tyrannical power of a minority indifferent to the wishes of the majority. We have seen the terrors of such power in the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung.
But if you can control the First Amendment, the Constitution is yours and so is power. The flag burners are not the enemies or our constitution, it is those who call flag burning free speech, who seek to control our constitution, who are the real enemies.
One minority which stands out in its efforts to distort the Constitution is the American Civil Liberties Union. Their values are alien to the founders and so it is not surprising that they would use their millions of dollars and packs of lawyers to bully and sue Boy Scouts, parents, teachers, praying athletes and people of faith while defending atheists, pornographers and flag burners.
Truth is a virtue and that word has no meaning in their definition of the Constitution so it is not surprising that they would lie to achieve their ends. They have actually accused me of advocating "Re-education camps" for flag burners. I have never used that term. Their intent is to confuse and terrorize good and faithful citizens by tying the vast majority of Americans who believe they should have the right to protect their flag, that flag burning is not free speech, with the horrors of communist and Nazi prison camps.
These same people have compared those who would protect Old Glory with Nazis. They also compared a protected American flag, protected according to the will of the people, to flags protected according to the will of tyrants.
These people live in a values vacuum and are certainly lost to the ideals of our Founders; but worse, they are distorting the constitution to achieve their political agenda.
Consider: The California supreme court, in breaking new ground on free speech, has ruled that courts may legally ban the use of racial slurs on the job. In response the ACLU said the decision was appropriate and did not represent a threat to freedom of speech. They opined that it is not a novel idea to say that the courts are able to enjoin illegal activity, even when part of that illegal activity involves free speech. Really?
Burning the flag was illegal in Texas when the courts decided it was free speech. The ACLU went on to say that "even though the First Amendment protects free speech, it does not protect the right to make terrorist threats, commit fraud, threaten someone, or commit extortion." Nor does it protect flag burning. That statement mirrors the CFA's argument for the Flag Amendment.
Hypocritically, on flag burning the ACLU has continually stressed that an essential aspect of freedom of expression is the right to choose precisely the manner in which one's ideas are conveyed, even if, indeed, especially if, the manner chosen is deliberately provocative or offensive. What else are racial slurs? They are enthralled with Justice Harlan Stone's words: "It is often true that one man's vulgarity is another man's lyric." A racial slur is not a lyric and neither is flag burning and neither should be protected by the First Amendment.
If the majority of the people of California want to ban racial slurs, they should have that right. If the majority of the people in the United States want to ban flag burning, they should have that right. But no one has the right to say that either is protected under the First Amendment; or worse, to say one is and one isn't.
Consistency is vital in our interpretation of the Constitution and the ACLU has clearly contradicted itself on racial slurs and flag burning. They have the arrogance to call themselves the "enforcement arm of the Constitution." Their objective is to not to enforce the Constitution but to propagate their political agenda by distorting the Constitution. Our Constitution is savaged when it becomes captive to anyone's agenda, political or otherwise.
General Phillip Sheridan once said: "I never discussed the Constitution much, and I never made many speeches upon it, but I have done a great deal of fighting for it." How different the ACLU with their hordes of lawyers, few of whom have shed one drop of blood for the Constitution, from people like Sheridan. The Constitution must occasionally be nourished by the blood of patriots, like Sheridan who are, and should be, the enforcement arm of our constitution. Patriots will fight for the Constitution of Sheridan. I can't speak for all, but I would not shed one drop of blood for the Constitution of the ACLU.
Abraham Lincoln warned, "Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties."
However we may differ on flag burning, we must agree that we are what we are because of our Constitution, as envisioned by the Founders, not the ACLU, and we should be outraged by those who seek to mutilate that sacred document for their own selfish ends.

When the police tried to arrest a suspect, a gang that had been in the vicinity had attacked the police with clubs and damaged the police three-wheeler. The police had shot one of the assailants who had tried to grab the weapon of a policeman.

It's called the "Scholastic Aptitude Test." Prospective college students across the land are lining up, IDs and number two pencils in hand, to take this assessment in hopes of impressing someone with their score. Their scholastic aptitude score. My son sat in a room for four hours this past weekend, packed in with a great many of his contemporaries, filling in those little bubbles as a measure of all he knows.
Of course, this isn't any sort of absolute measure. It's a yardstick that has been in place since before his father sat in a similar room and filled in a similar group of bubbles. The happy news is that filling in bubbles on standardized tests is something at which my son excels. Even as his grades had drifted south of C, he has continued to surprise and defy expectations in this particular arena. Good for him. I am a tad chagrined at the notion of a test that is supposed to measure one's scholastic aptitude. Isn't that all of them? He's been taking tests of his scholastic aptitude for more than a decade now, and he continues to show up as a pretty bright kid.
And yet, he still has to prove it. Over and over again. Exam after quiz after analysis. Essay after fill in the blank after multiple choice. He's cleared those hurdles, often with plenty of room to spare. Now he's hit the big time: college board admission tests. If he scores 2400, if he gets all the questions right, will he be college material? If he already knows all that stuff, does he really need to go to college? Couldn't he just transcend all that mess and move on into a comfortable adulthood where tests become a thing of the past?
When I found out that, to become a teacher, I would have to take a pair of tests, I almost gave up right then and there. I was becoming a teacher so that I could give people tests, not to have them administered to me. This was the cosmic joke I learned: We're never done taking tests of one sort or another. What my son did this past Saturday just opened the floodgates on a whole slew of additional opportunities to pick the correct response. Good luck to him. Good luck to us all.

NEW ORLEANS – The majority of New Orleanians have power, according to Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
"As of last night, Entergy reported to me they have 85 percent of the city of New Orleans back up and operating," said Landrieu. "I was thrilled to hear that they were able to get Venetian Isles back on line."
Venetian Isles, along with Lake Catherine and Irish Bayou -- areas outside of the levee protection system -- were the hardest hit areas.
With New Orleans avoiding most of Hurricane Isaac's damage, the large swath of power outages and the length of time has tested the paitence of residents.
Frustration with the rate of return to power filtered all the way to local government, as City Council President Stacy Head called for a committee meeting to examine Entergy's response to restore power to New Orleans after Isaac.
"Unfortunately, despite thorough preparation by federal, state, and local governments, our city's recovery has been stymied by energy outages throughout the city. New Orleanians understand that patience is required. But as Entergy's regulators, the Council must inquire as to whether the process of restoring electricity was sufficiently aggressive and visible as soon as the winds subsided," said a statement from Head. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
The 85 percent with power would exceed the goal set by Charles Rice, CEO of Entergy New Orleans, Saturday to have 70 percent on line by Monday and 90 percent by Wednesday.
According to Entergy, as of 7 a.m., 33,000 are still without power in New Orleans. At the height of the outages, over 150,000 were without power in New Orleans.
"Once this electricity gets on, we can take care of the rest of it," said Landrieu.

It was a long skate off the ice for Tuukka Rask after the Blackhawks scored the game-winning goal against him in the third overtime of Game 1.
The Bruins sat dejected on the bench after they ended almost six periods of hockey facing a 1-0 series deficit.
The game started on a high note for the Bruins, when Milan Lucic, right, scored in the first period to give Boston a 1-0 lead.
Chicago's Dave Bolland beat Rask in the third period to narrow the Bruins' lead to 3-2.
Minutes later, Rask heard it from Blackhawks fans when he allowed the game-tying goal.
Bruins coach Claude Julien was left looking for answers after a disappointing Stanley Cup Final opener.
And it was a sweet, early-morning celebration for the Blackhawks.

Y'all probably heard about the prank that The Yes Men pulled off last week. They got themselves invited to the Gulf Coast Reconstruction and Hurricane Preparedness Summit, and gave a speech pretending to be "Deputy Assistant Secretary Rene Oswin" of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "Mr. Oswin" admitted that HUD had failed in its mission to provide affordable housing for people in need (true), explained how HUD was about to demolish 5000 existing housing units to build new ones (true), and how they had formulated a new policy to leave those units alone, while increasing investment in the communities, providing basic services, and working to fix the New Orleans ecosystem (false).
You can read the speech here, video here.
While this particular hoax had a bit of a cruel edge (making some New Orleans residents think they might have homes to move back into), it also served to highlight the crueler reality. HUD and the federal government are not taking these compassionate and sensible steps to help out people in need, they are doing just the opposite. Hopefully the public humiliation of the stunt might cause the government to take some action.
On their website, The Yes Men tell us that we can help the folks of New Orleans by going to SurvivorsVillage.com.
And just today, we had another prank. Last month, useless socialite Paris Hilton released a CD in which, I'm told, a team of nuclear scientists and powerful shamans worked round the clock to make her sound like a talented songstress. Shortly after, graffitti/hoaxster superhero Banksy created a doctored version of the CD (complete with remixed parody songs) and distributed 500 copies to 42 record stores across Britain. Photos of the CD booklet here. The new booklet emphasizes issues of celebrity worship and class. My favorite is the fake sticker on the front which promotes Paris' new hit singles "Why Am I Famous?", "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"
Banksy even filmed himself pulling off the stunt and put it on YouTube. Haven't heard the songs, though, can't tell you if they're any good.
In related news, Banksy's apparently having a three-day art show in Los Angeles this month, "Exact address available on the day of opening [September 15] from banksy.co.uk".

that bitch makes people laugh, thats worth something. shes no brain surgeon, neither are any of you.
Okay, I get it, Mr. and Mrs. News Media, Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin has died. That's sad.
that dude spent all his dough on buying land for preserves 4 wildlife, he was a fucking hero. what the fuck do you do besides act like you can't be fucking inconvenienced by looking at too many death notices. are you living your life so that when you die people all over the world mourn you?
Comment by brendan — September 5, 2006 @ 3:41 pm
Seems like Banksy was pretty inspired by Ms. Hilton if you ask me. How many people have an artist prank them, and then get worldwide attention for it. Why is she famous? Because people like us talk about her all the time.

Totally agree. wtf? When Mr Sexton croaks lets hope it's forgotten ASAP. What an asshole.

Paris got arrested for dui. Hey she pranked herself! I want one of those fake CD's. There was this guy I saw on tv years ago who made his own money. it looked really cool, he was an artist. He would take it around and buy stuff with it, if the cashier agreed to take it. The funny thing was the artist's bills were worth alot of money. So he would try to buy a candy bar with one of his fake bills and the cashier would refuse to take one of his bills, and he would just leave. If they took the bill and paid for the candy bar themselves they could have sold the bill for hundreds of dollars. That cracked me up for some reason.

"I can't believe no one thought of this sooner. It's about time someone stuck it to Paris Hilton. I mean, she's always there, being famous, and vapid, and utterly annoying, and no one ever calls her out on it. She's never the butt of jokes. On the contrary, she is universally revered, and consistently taken seriously in everything that she does.
And considering that her album is selling so well, this couldn't have happened at a better time.
Finally, someone had the bravery to ask "Why is Paris Hilton famous?" in a humorous way before the joke got so tired that just reading the first three letters of her name is exhausting." The Hater Amelie Gillette
…said best by Ms. Gillette. How is making fun of Paris original?

hey guys,
New to the forum. Need some help to get started here. I want to be able to detect WLAN networks (that is Wi-Fi scanning). Is it possible using MIDP...I am aware that it is possible using Symbian OS C++. It would be great if someone could tell me if any APIs are available to do this on Java MIDP.
Also..is it possible to make VOIP calls through an MIDP app. I mean I am looking to create an app that will enable VOIP on the phone so that I can make internet calls using a wi-fi connection. Is it possible on MIDP or will I have to use C++ again. Please guide me here....any help appreciated. Thanks very much.

Very much so. But also informative so thank you for covering it.
The little I know usually only comes from either Blu Ray featurettes on how a film was restored or cleaned up for the Blu Ray version but not all films obviously cover that aspect in their extras. And often they use a lot of terms in conversation but without necessarily explaining them.
My curiosity stemmed mostly because I had picked up several older films the last while on Blu Ray that are supposed to be a combination of Restorations, Remasters etc (such as Double Indemnity, North by Northwest, Chinatown, Jaws and even the Back to the Future trilogy) and so many of these look so amazing in their picture quality it's as if they were filmed yesterday with state of the art equipment used.
I'm just continually amazed by what can be done with such old films when someone puts in the effort to bring them back. I used to be so skeptical of the Blu Ray difference before I actually bought a player and started building my collection in the format.

At Exclusive Algarve Villas all our staff is fluent in English and Portuguese. We share multiple languages as Dutch, German, Italian and Spanish.
Throughout Portugal, English is widely spoken and it is easy to get by with just that. The Portuguese however do really appreciate foreigners trying to speak the language. If you come to work and live here, we would recommend learning Portuguese so it is easier to integrate. Yet there are foreigners who after decades don't speak a word of it, and they get by without difficulties.
Portuguese is not an easy language to speak but if you want to do a language course, please do note the difference in between Brazilian Portuguese and the 'normal Portuguese'. There are various local schools who have regular courses, as well as private teachers which are readily available for a small fee.
Also check out the BBC guide to learn Portuguese

Hey thought id put this here to constantly remind myself what i said I would do. Got up to a max weight this year of about 234-235lbs which is great progress seeing as how i was stuck going up and down from 210-195ish for a few years. Weight means a lot to me, with my fram im going to need a lot of it to fill it out unfortunately. I was gonna get all cut up this year but my body is just telling me not to, I have to listen. Im currently 20 years old and WILL weigh over 250lbs im aiming for 275-280 by the time im 21. I gain weight extremely easy not much fat though guess im genetically gifted. Plan to post up a picture when im 250 lets see how long that takes!

At a work session held by the Muscogee County School Board (MCSB) yesterday, Feb. 10, questions rose about the type of impact Governor Nathan Deal's proposed increase in state education funding will have in Muscogee County.
Deal is proposing a budget increase of about four percent. MCSB member John Wells says teacher retirement funding, and other obligations, will immediately absorb that increase, leaving Muscogee schools under funded.
"When we get through with the Governor's budget down here, we will have about the same budget we had in the year 2002. So we're still about 12 years behind on funding from the state," says Wells.
Wells says board members are confident that Superintendent David Lewis will be working diligently to bring back a responsible budget sometime in the next few months.

Master Class Series Jason Lewis: The Supportive Roll of the Rhythm Section Wednesday, November 28
Master Class Series
Jason Lewis: The Supportive Roll of the Rhythm Section
Wednesday, November 28
Kuumbwa Jazz
FREE Workshop – open to all levels
At the core of music, rhythm provides the very foundation on which melody and harmony can function. And, at the core of a jazz ensemble, the rhythm section can make or break the harmonic and rhythmic mood of the music, determining its success or failure. Drummer Jason Lewis, Scott Sorkin (guitar) and John Shifflett (bass), will illustrate the techniques needed to play in a rhythm section, and how to work as a cohesive and empathetic unit. Head arrangements (the informal arrangement of a song), dynamics, and interplay between the players, will be demonstrated in performance. The function of each instrument in the rhythm section and the techniques involved will be discussed afterwards. All instrumentalists, from beginning to advanced performance levels, are encouraged to attend. If time allows, those musicians who would like to sit-in with the trio will be welcomed to do so.
Jason Lewis has been a mainstay of the Bay Area music scene since the mid-'80s. A 1989 graduate of San Jose State University, he received his BA in music as a classical percussion student under the supervision of Anthony Cirone. Over his twenty-five year career, Lewis has performed with a varied list of top musicians, including Gary Burton, James Moody, and John Handy. He has toured and recorded with Boz Scaggs, Michael Brook, and Taylor Eigsti. On the classical side of things, he has performed with the San Jose Civic Light Opera and the San Jose Symphony. In addition to teaching drumset at San Jose State University, Jason has facilitated music clinics throughout the Bay Area, including the Stanford Jazz Workshop.
Guitarist Scott Sorkin often performs with Kristen Strom, John Donaldson Quintet, and Crossing Borders. Aside from being an excellent guitarist, Sorkin is an audio engineer and producer for Open Path Music. Bassist John Shifflett has worked with Jason Lewis for many years in numerous groups and projects, including Boz Scaggs' CD of jazz standards, But Beautiful, and the subsequent tour with Boz. John has performed with a long list of top jazz musicians, including Dave Liebman, Bobby Hutcherson, and Tom Harrell.

Raspberry Sachertorte Recipe
It may look like this torte took hours to make, but it has a surprisingly short list of ingredients. A small slice splendidly satisfies a sweet tooth.Rosetta Hockett, Colorado Springs, Colorado
- 4 eggs, separated
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
- 3/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolks and melted chocolate; beat on low speed just until combined. Combine almonds and flour; stir into butter mixture just until blended.
- In another bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Transfer to a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove sides of pan. Cool completely.
- Spread jam over top of cake. For glaze, in a small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter; spread over jam. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or until set. Yield: 12 servings.
To Make Ahead: Bake the cake and let cool (do not top with jam); freeze in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature overnight. Top with the jam and glaze.

(WMC-TV) - David Sterling could be the next attorney general for Arkansas. And he is behind a push to bring the controversial "stand your ground" law to the state.
More than 20 states have "stand your ground" laws including Tennessee and Mississippi, but not Arkansas. The law was discussed a lot in coverage of the George Zimmerman trial.
"If I'm out there with my grand kids or my kids, I'm going to protect them with whatever it takes to protect them," said Terry Parrish, who lives in Arkansas.
An Arkansas Republican candidate for attorney general wants to help people like Terry Parrish do just that with a "stand your ground" law.
"I think it's important that Arkansas law favor the law abiding citizen rather than be on the side of the criminal, which in my opinion what it is right now," said Sterling.
Arkansas is the only southern state without the law.
"Stand your ground law is essentially a law saying you don't have a duty to retreat if you feel that you're in imminent danger of death or severe bodily injury," explained attorney Blake Ballin.
In Arkansas, you have a duty to retreat or flee from conflict when you feel threatened unless you are in your home or surrounding property. That is the Castle Doctrine. If someone comes in your home, you can shoot them. The "stand your ground" law allows residents to do that just about anywhere.
"I think 'stand your ground' is actually a bad idea because it encourages people to be vigilantes it encourages deadly encounters that are not necessary," said University of Memphis law professor Steve Mulroy.
Arkansas resident Essie Bingham agrees.
"I don't think we should have a 'stand your ground' law. I think that makes it too wide open door to problems," she said.
Arkansas legislators have talked about "stand your ground" laws but have never passed them. David Sterling is running for attorney general in next year's election.

With the final version of Harry Potter now out in theaters, and me having seen a combined maybe 45 minutes of all of the movies, I wanted to get RR's take on the best multi-movie series EVAR.
There's a lot of good series out there, and I know that I won't think of all of them (since we've deemed my intelligence just North of eggplant - who am I kidding? That's an insult to eggplant!) so that's where RR comes in. I know that together we'll figure out the best multi-movie series, or at least enjoy ourselves making fun of our nominations. (cue the music, envelope please)
Per any decent SIS, we'll need some criteria (or is it criterion, b/c there will be multiple?) to figure out what should make the cut, and what shouldn't even be in the argument.
Requirements (since I'm not sure if it's criteria vs. criterion and too lazy to look it up right now while watching The Open Championship - go Martin Kaymer and Fredrick Jacobson!) after the jump.
1. At least 3 movies. If there's only 2 in the series, don't bother listing them. You didn't follow the directions.
2. The series has to have connection to each other, and not other similar franchise movies. Example, Batman. The current Batman only has 2, but has a 3rd on the way. So, once that 3rd comes out, it would qualify, but however currently does not. The 1989 Batman with Michael Keaton had a run of 2 movies (Batman and Batman Returns), but then 1995 Val Kilmer took up the role of Batman (Batman Forever), then we got George Clooney in 1997 (Batman & Robin). So from 1989 to 1997, that Batman franchise yielded 4 movies. It fits requirement 1. However, it has no tie to the Christian Bale Batman, b/c that's a reboot. Hopefully I explained this well, however I'm sure I did not.
2A. James Bond. This is a special subrequirement of #2. Daniel Craig has only given us 2, so you can't list him. However, Sean Connery has given us multiple, as have Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. If you feel that any of those Bond series with those 3 respective actors should get the top nod, state your case, show your work.
2B. Star Trek. They had at least 5 movies, maybe 6 with the original cast, and then there were some TNG movies (not sure how many), and then they just had a reboot. The latest movie doesn't count towards the series, and you need to consider the Capt Kirk movies separate from the Capt Picard movies, fair?
3. Don't put the Matrix. Yes, there were 3 of them. 2 of them were turrible. You've been put on notice.
4. Best does not mean highest grossing at the box office. Harry Potter will kick the asses of all series, and it won't even be close, but that's b/c it's also the newest with the latest and greatest technology and I'm pretty sure it also has the most movies. Regardless, do not fall into the trap that $$$$ = Best.
5. If you think a series should be considered on the merit of the series itself, state your case and show your work. You could think that James Bond is the best series EVAR based on its complete body of work. You'd be an idiot, but you could try to make a compelling argument, and I look forward to reading it. You could also try to make a similar argument about the Batman movies as a whole, or The Fast & the Furious, or Star Trek. Again, certainly decisions....
6. This is not genre specific. The Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St franchises/series were very successful, and made a lot of movies. They certainly are worth the discussion.
7. There is no right answer, aside from The Matrix. The Matrix series is not the correct answer.
8. Feel free to be selective in movie series inclusion. Example, Indiana Jones minus Crystal Skull. I might actually make that argument. That series was definitely in the discussion before that stinker, therefore, I wouldn't include it and I try to put it out of my memory but damn the people at USA for always including it in the Indiana Jones marathons that seem to be on every other weekend.
9. Have fun with this. Be creative. We'll probably have some "oh yeah!" moments where we forgot about some series entirely b/c we'd either seen them so long ago, or other various reasons.
Author's note: when I state my selection(s), I will only list movies I've seen. I admittedly have not seen but 45 minutes of all the Harry Potters combined, so I cannot legitimately say that they are the bee's knees. Not all of you have to follow this optional rule, but I wanted to let y'all know where I'm coming from.
Go Reds! They're my favorite team!
