Fish in the stream, NOT in the streets !
by: John Davenport, editor of The Drift. 5/2014
Denver soils absorb water at .25 inch per hour.
Traditional popup mist sprinklers soak them at 1.5 inches of water per hour. So if you run your sprinkler for more than 10 minutes, you are actually moving fishable water from the Fraser, Blue, and S. Platte to the Denver Streets.
But you can easily swap out to popup rotator heads (.5 inch per hour), plug unneeded heads with a 3/16 in washer, and water for 30 minutes 2x/week and keep the fishable water where it belongs.
Check out this slide show to see how easy it is to do.

News: UPDATE: Kanye West In Hawaii, Witness Says Paparazzi "Attacked" Rap Star
Friday, Sep 12, 2008 12:00PM
After yesterday's arrest at Los Angeles airport, LAX, both Kanye West and his road manager, Don C, have been released on $20,000 bail and are currently in Hawaii.
According to the Associated Press, West left an LA police station prior to being booked where he was escorted by an assortment of umbrellas to help prevent gathering photographers snap shots of the rap star.
Leaving in an all-black Chevrolet Suburban truck with a license plate that read "DIVA," both men were immediately escorted by police to a private jet flight traveling to Hawaii. Although West resisted giving reporters an official statement, he did inform fans of his current situation via the renowned blog.
"We back in the lab," he wrote. "I'm cool with the paparazzi. "This guy wasn't cool. I gotta work now... I'll rant later!"
As previously reported by SOHH, the multi-platinum selling rapper was arrested for vandalism at LAX yesterday morning when he reportedly attacked and broke a paparazzo's $10,000 camera.
In addition to Ye's arrest, C was also arrested on charges of vandalism and battery while both were taken immediately to a Los Angeles police station.
While reports from media outlets claim Ye overreacted, a witness from the incident saw things differently. LAX charity donator and provider Charles Davis said the superstar was "attacked" by the cameraman and West "just defended himself."
"I talk to him all the time," Davis told AP. "He's a very nice gentleman. Very nice. He gives good donations to help children. He's got a good, kind heart. I've gotten his autograph several times. I just don't see why he was arrested. The man just put the camera too close to his face. I don't blame him."

SLIDELL, La. -- It's almost been two full days since a Northshore mother has been seen or heard from, so Crystal Friedman's family and authorities are upping the ante in the missing person case.
A Slidell convenience store's surveillance video holds the last images of 28-year-old Friedman. Authorities say she was at a bar on Pontchartrain Drive for the Saints game Sunday night. Then, after 11:30 p.m., she went across the street to a gas station.
Her car, a 2011 silver Hyundai Sonata, is seen leaving the gas station in the direction of her Eden Isles-area home, which she shares with her parents and her 3-year-old son. She never made it home and missed work last night as a desk clerk at a Slidell motel along I-10.
The tracked trail for Friedman ends at Hwy. 11, and it's believed she may have gone into New Orleans. That has led detectives to expand their search to the south shore.
Family members, who did not want to talk on camera, have posted fliers around the area and are offering a hefty reward for information about where Friedman may have been seen or may be now.
They say it's not like her to not come home, or be out of touch, especially with her son.
Now they and the sheriff's office are hoping the community can help do whatever it takes to get her back home safely.
Friedman's car bears Louisiana license plate number VIH 727.
If you have any information about Crystal Friedman's whereabouts, call the St. Tammany Sheriff's Office at 985-726-7824.

The Merc today announced Matthews as a top priority for the Giants and could be a Bochy influenced interest since he has played twice for Bochy, once as rookie and once just before joining the Rangers and finally doing well.
As many here suspected, he would play CF and push Winn to a corner OF spot (RF if Bonds return, LF perhaps if not and Linden in RF).
I took the liberty to strip out his home numbers - Rangers home is homer haven normally - particularly for left-handed hitters and he's a switch-hitter. Hmmm, oddly enough, his batting line is pretty much the same, home or road, while with the Rangers, though HR-rate much better at home, they landed for more doubles on the road, resulting in SLG about the same, either way:
Home: .280/.352/.464/.816; 25 AB/HR
Road: .289/.349/.471/.820; 34 AB/HR
That's approximately the difference between a 20 HR season and a 25 HR season.
He'll be 32 years old for next season, so assuming this would be a 3 years contract of some sort (either 2+option or 3), this would cover his 32, 33, 34 years. Which, of course, are the years most players are prone to diving to their retirement.
My most immediate impression (smell, really) right now of Gary Matthews is of a Michael Tucker-lite redux with a dash of Randy Winn. Player who has enough talent to start playing significant time at age 25, but never good enough to win a starting position, though Gary basically did last season, playing 147 games with 620 AB and 678 PA. About average in OBP, not that great with the power but OK, will get you around 15-20 HR annually, plus good defense, can play all OF positions, but, while speedy, is pretty bad stealing bases. And now, at age 31, had his career year and probably wants a big contract and a starting position.
I can see the Sabean spin on him now: he is much younger (32 vs. Moises 40), good hitter with some pop and speed, great defense in CF, leadoff hitter, veteran leadership.
From a personnel standpoint, I can see the fit, particularly if we get Bonds back. Bonds in LF, Matthews in CF, Winn in RF, with Linden as the 4th OF, sucking up starts in LF (when Bonds rest, 40-60 games) and RF (when Matthews or Winn rest, 30-60 games) plus starter when the inevitable injury comes along (don't know Matthews history, if games missed were due to being a bench player or being injured frequently; I presume the former).
But after hitting .313/.371/.495/.866 with 19 HR and 102 runs and 79 RBI, he is not going to be looking for a Michael Tucker-ish 2 year/$3-4M contract, he's going to want 3-4 years at $5-7M per season, and that I would have a problem with, no way we pay him for one great season, that's another Adrian Beltre-type of insanity signing, or actually closer to a Robby Thompson-ish, particularly with him being 32 for next season and headed for the decline most players experience in that age range, after a career year at a late point in the career.
I like the son of a Giant angle, but only at the right price and I think he's going to be asking for too much. I would rather pass on him, but he is the proto-typical Sabean player acquisition of the past few years, someone with good but not great stats, got some issues, particularly age, and there's not really much going on that really encourages the fan to think we can win with him.
If this is the caliber of players Bochy's influence is bringing in, all I can say is "Ugh" and "Ewww".
But I will still give the new "team" a chance to wow me, but starting off with Matthews would be starting the honeymoon off with a big downer, it would be like the new wife coming into the honeymoon bedroom wearing a long flannel plaid gown and green moisturizing cream all over her face.

Methuen resident Kristen Novak said she was "horrified" when she found out about the possible data breach of 40 million credit and debit card accounts who shopped at popular retail chain Target.
"It's a scary thing to think about," she said outside the Target in Methuen yesterday.
The chain, known for its bright red logo, shopping carts and store decor, said that accounts of customers who made purchases by swiping their cards at terminals in its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 may have been exposed. The stolen data includes customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the three-digit security codes located on the backs of cards. The data breach did not affect online purchases.
Novak said when her husband found out about the incident he called her immediately knowing that she had shopped at Target during that time.
"I went there to shop but the lines were too long that day so I left and did shopping at another store," she said. "I was kind of annoyed at the time about it but now I am so happy I did."
The breach affected all cards, including Target store brand cards and major card brands such as Visa and MasterCard.
The Minneapolis company said it immediately told authorities and financial institutions once it became aware of the breach and that it is teaming with a third-party forensics firm to investigate and prevent future breaches. It said it is putting all "appropriate resources" toward the issue.
"It's crazy to think about how this can even happen," Novak said. "You are not expecting something like this when you go shopping."
After the Massachusetts-based clothes retailer TJX experienced a major data breach, the Legislature passed a law requiring businesses to notify the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulations and the Office of the Attorney General when informed of a data breach.

Tigers top Royals on cold Detroit night
Wade Davis takes 1st loss after rocky outing
Jose Valverde returned to Detroit with a save and Victor Martinez drove in a pair of runs to help the Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 7-5 Wednesday night.
Max Scherzer (2-0) got the win, allowing five runs in five innings, with three Tigers relievers finishing the game. Valverde, called up earlier in the day, returned to the Tigers with a perfect ninth inning. Valverde lost the closing role during the postseason and wasn't offered a contract, but signed a minor-league deal earlier this month and returned to Detroit after a short minor-league stint.
Wade Davis (2-1) took the loss, giving up seven runs - three earned - in 3 2-3 innings. Davis allowed eight hits and four walks while only getting 11 outs.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has a man behind bars after leading officers on a high-speed chase Friday morning.
Deputies say they were told that the California Highway Patrol was in pursuit of a black Chevy Malibu around 10 a.m. Troopers tried to stop the vehicle in California near Meyers when the driver, identified as 53-year old Steven Linsey from San Francisco, sped off towards Nevada.
As the vehicle crossed the Nevada state line, Douglas County deputies joined the pursuit, which continued up Kingsbury Grade.
Deputies say Linsey continued on Kingsbury Grade into the Carson Valley at 90+ MPH. He then turned north onto Foothill Road and went through the town of Genoa. Deputies say Linsey finally stopped at Jacks Valley Road and Trail Court.
Linsey was then arrested and taken to the Douglas County Jail where he was booked on charges of reckless driving, eluding a police officer, DUI, possession of a controlled substance and possession of paraphernalia. More charges are pending from California.
Deputies say the investigation is ongoing.

The weather in London over the last week or so has been glorious. It's unbelievably sunny for March and because the clocks went forward on Saturday night we've had sunshine in the evenings too. Getting home in daylight feels like such a treat and the long slog of winter feels like it's finally behind us.
On Sunday we shook the Notting Hill poshness off us with a late afternoon stroll through Kenwood, a seventeenth century manor house sitting in beautifully landscaped grounds at the top of Hampstead Heath. I've never been in the house itself but the courtyard is a properly lovely place to have tea and cake in the clement weather, although the view is slightly disturbed by scaffolding at the moment.
The grounds were landscaped in the eighteenth century by Humphry Repton who is regarded as the successor to rock star landscaper Capability Brown. Ironically enough, this is where the period drama scene in Notting Hill was filmed.
This weekend Kenwood was packed with Londoners soaking up the sunshine and enjoying Repton's vistas. The trees were in blossom and the banks were carpeted with daffodils. By the time we got there the sun had gone in and it was getting a bit chilly but it was lovely to be able to take advantage of the extra hour of daylight now that we're back on British Summer Time.

Juste un petit billet pour signaler cet article de David Pogue du New York Times qui explique la portée de Google Talk (ça enrichit mon billet d'hier sur le sujet et vos commentaires):
Google Talk aims to end the ridiculous era of proprietary chat networks. At the moment, AOL, MSN and Yahoo each maintain separate, incompatible networks. The big boys each want to be alone in the sandbox, and the losers are their customers.
Google Talk, however, is based on an open, published standard that the company is making available to all. Already, Google Talk communicates with popular chat programs like iChat, Trillian, Adium, Psi and GAIM, but that's just the beginning. Google is making overtures to Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft about making their chat programs compatible; EarthLink has already agreed to join the federation; and Google is also inviting the makers of games, collaboration tools and even cellphones to join in what it hopes will one day be a grand, unified chat network.
Il passe en outre en revue les vertus du Google Desktop Search 2 bêta (bien supérieur dit-il à la première version). Un essai de la première mouture ne m'avait pas convaincu.

An online feel-good fundraising effort for a man who was seen eating a sandwich on youtube has reached $450,000 and is growing, however no one actually knows why the fund was set up in the first place.
More than $450,000 has been donated to David Salzburg, a 28 year old graphic designer, who appeared on a 10-minute video earlier this week eating a chicken salad sandwich in a park in, near Rochester, N.Y.
The fund was set up by Salzburg's family; after it became apparent that American's will donate money to any unworthy cause, following the ridiculous fund set up for a fat woman, with pubic hair on her head who cried after a few kids called her fat!
Salzburg, who can be seen on the footage simply eating a sandwich, says he is flabbergasted by the donations but confused.
"Why anyone would want to send money to me is strange, surely there are better causes people could donate to, such as starving children, sick children, a charity for homeless people, veterans, abused animals, hospitals, anything really, it is kind of weird!"

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - Fire crews are still investigating a fire that ripped through a house in southeast Tyler on Tuesday night.
The call came in just after 9:20 p.m. to a house on the 1500 block of Bowie Drive. When fire crews arrived on scene, two rooms of the house were on fire. Flames had also vented through the roof. Fire officials said one of first rooms to catch fire was a bedroom.
Fire investigators said no one was home when the fire started, but neighbors believe a single-parent family lives in the home.
Damage inside the residence was extensive, according to Tyler Assistant Fire Marshal Laura Mason. "It looks like it is not going to livable for some time without a lot of remodeling and repair."
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

How To Make Soap
How to Make Soap the Fast Way
When most people who want to learn how to make soap are told that they have to wait 30 days for it to cure, they get discouraged. If you are like many others who want to know how to make soap, you probably either want to use it right away or you're making it for gifts and don't have time to wait. Well, you'll be interested to learn that the hot process cures soap quickly so you can use it faster. In fact you can often use it in as little as three days.
You may also enjoy learning how to make soap with this method because the bars are typically harder and last longer. Be aware that the high temperatures do destroy aromas from essential oils so you will either need to use more or wait until near the end to add them.
Ingredients for a Small Batch
- 4 ounces of lye
- 9 ounces of water
- 3 ounces of coconut oil
- 3 ounces of castor oil
- 3 ounces of canola oil
- 22 ounces of Crisco
- ½ tablespoon of sugar
- 1 ounce of essential oil
- Herbs and coloring agents if desired
- The first step when you're learning how to make soap at home this way is to preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure that the area is well ventilated and always wear protective gloves and goggles. It's also a good idea to use aluminum foil to line the bottom of your oven in case there are any spills. When you are learning how to make soap, it is recommended to always use stainless steel pots and glass bowls.
- The next step to follow when you are learning how to make soap is to melt all of the solid fats on low.
- Pour the lye slowly into the water in a bowl, mix and it will heat itself from the chemical reaction.
- When both substances are 110 degrees Fahrenheit, combine them and blend until trace.
- Traditionally when you are learning how to make soap you would add essential oils now but since the cooking process isn't done yet, this step gets skipped for now. Instead, you will add colorants and proceed.
How to Make Soap with the Hot Process
In most cases when you're learning how to make soap, you would have poured this substance in molds, cooled for 3 days, cut and cured for another 30 days. When you are learning how to make soap with a hot process method, you're going to do a little more work but have the advantage of using your product a lot faster.
- The first step when you're learning how to make soap this way is to pour your blended substance into a roasting pan, cover it with the lid and place it in your preheated oven.
- After 20 minutes, take out of the oven and remove the lid slowly away from your face. Stir the substance and place back in the oven.
- Chances are, if you are learning how to make soap for the first time, you probably have quite a mess to clean so set the timer on the oven for 30 minutes and clean while it's cooking some more.
- After 30 minutes, stir gently. You will notice it curling away from the roasting pan toward the centre.
- Add a little olive oil so it doesn't dry out, stir and pop back in the oven for about an hour. Clearly, when you're learning how to make soap this way you need to have quite a few hours to spare!
- During this time, grease your molds with olive oil.
- After an hour has passed, remove the pan from the oven and add in your essential oils.
How to Make Soap – Quick Curing Method
- Scoop the soap into the molds, cover with plastic wrap and towels. Allow this to cool.
- The next step of the quick cure process when you're learning how to make soap this way is to cut the bars. Wetting your knife makes it easier to cut through.
- Cure these on a rack for four days, offering plenty of air circulation and you're done!

Today's weather forecast: Land of Sunshine
Over the weekend, more than 200 animal lovers descended upon Farm Sanctuary's new rescue shelter in Acton, now the largest in North America, for "Hug a Farm Animal Day." Guests like Moby, Teresa Palmer (The Grudge 2) and Lisa Edelstein (House) noshed on vegan bites, then cuddled up to cows, pigs, goats, sheep, and chicken. If these photos are any indication, the event left humans and animals feeling good. That's the happiest damn pig we've ever seen.

 In Mists of Pandaria, making wow gold still plays an important role for gamers need gold wow to survive in game. But what's the best gold farming method in MoP ? Here some tips you should know to get rich in MoP.
For making gold prior to the expac, the best way is probably to farm mats or do dailies. Prices on my server have crashed since they announced the release date and low profit margins combined with low product demand kills most of the high profitability products we made earlier. Most people are stocking up to sell profession leveling mats and monk items when MoP comes out. Some niche items will always sell like BOA enchants but it depends on your server what else you can sell.
You can gather ores and herbs and create some profession-boost packages. These sell very well when people leave azeroth for the new continent at MoP. Mainly because ore and herbs can be as low as 20g a stack so its pointless to try but also because I can get like 750g for a 15+ agil enchant and 500+ for any others sometimes up to 1000g. Best way to make money for me right now, cant say about other serves but I can guarantee any Cata level stuff is low as hell and useless to try and sell for large profit.
Try finding items that are easy to farm and easy to sell. For example, fishing for deviate fish in the Barrens is really simple. In half and hour you can get about 2 stacks and can usually sell them for 10-20g a stack, more if your lucky.
Be familiar with the AH and the average prices for items that you're selling. If one day an item is being sold for less than usual, don't be afraid to wait a while before you sell it. After a day or two it might go back to normal or even sell for more.
With these best gold farming method, you will be surely get tons of gold wow easily.Of course, there are more other methods for you to discover . If you are interested these making mop gold guide, you can click Okgold.co.uk to find more there.

Markets volatile after Obama's victory
By Jamie Chisholm
Global Markets Commentator
Financial Times
Wednesday 13:10 GMT.
Wall Street is on course to lose ground as investors react to news that Barack Obama has been re-elected as US president, attention switches to the country's fiscal problems, and as the euro slides on worries about the poor state of the bloc's economy.
A retreat in S&P 500 futures is the latest in a series of sharp moves for markets on Wednesday. At 0300 GMT the futures contract was down 1 per cent as traders appeared to fret that the US election result might not be clear cut – a scenario that was considered to be the worst of all for investor confidence.
But then a creeping rally really got under way once it was revealed that Republican challenger Mitt Romney had phoned Mr Obama to concede defeat. By 0730 GMT Wall Street was in line for a 0.5 per cent gain as global traders welcomed the removal of a crucial piece of sentiment-suppressing political uncertainty.
It was likely that investors were particularly happy that Mr Obama's win was seen as securing the tenure of Ben Bernanke, the dovish chairman of the US Federal Reserve.
Copper jumped and gold rose sharply, while the dollar and Treasury yields were lower in response to the prospect of the Fed's supportive monetary policy continuing indefinitely. The FTSE Asia-Pacific index climbed 0.7 per cent.
However, confidence has crumbled once again, with the S&P 500 now in line for a 0.9 per cent retreat. The dollar is up 0.3 per cent, copper is down 1.3 per cent and gold has pared its gains to rise just 0.3 per cent to $1,720 an ounce.
The main clue to the cause of this current relapse perhaps can be found in the fixed income markets.
Money has continued flooding into Treasuries –forcing 10-year yields down 10 basis points to 1.65 per cent – as investors start to worry about how such a politically divided Washington can deal with the country's mammoth budget deficit and ensure the world's biggest economy does not fall off the so-called fiscal cliff.
Mohamed El-Erian, chief executive of bond fund Pimco, told the Financial Times: "Despite all the campaigns' claims and their massive spending, it risks being déjà vu all over again for markets. After an initial flurry, they may well return to worrying about being hostage to the whims of a bickering and indecisive Congress".
Fitch, the ratings agency, reminded investors what is at stake. "As reflected in the negative outlook on the [US's AAA] rating, failure to avoid the fiscal cliff and raise the debt ceiling in a timely manner as well as securing agreement on credible deficit reduction would likely result in a rating downgrade in 20132," it wrote in a note.
Also hurting investor confidence is another burst of angst about the eurozone. The single currency is down 0.5 per cent to $1.2756, a two-month low, as investors become increasing concerned about the region's economy.
Data released on Wednesday showed eurozone September retail sales fell by a greater than expected 0.2 per cent. In Germany, the country's council of economic advisers forecast the economy would grow by just 0.8 per cent this year and next, while another report revealed industrial output in September contracted 1.8 per cent against expectations for a 0.5 per cent contraction.
Adding to the tension is the waiting to see if the Greek parliament will pass bills containing structural reforms and spending cuts, designed to secure the country's next tranche of aid. The FTSE Eurofirst 300 equity index is down 0.3 per cent.
All that said, it is interesting that Spanish 10-year bond yields, used by many traders as a proxy for eurozone anxiety, are steady at 5.63 per cent.
Stock futures plunge on Obama reelection
by Adam Shell and Matt Krantz
Nov. 07, 2012
Source: USA TODAY
NEW YORK — Investors reacted to the news of President Obama's re-election by sending U.S. stock futures sharply lower Wednesday morning.
With the stock market set to open at 9:30 a.m. ET, trading in key stock index futures were sending signals that stocks would fall sharply when trading begins.
Futures for the Dow Jones industrial average were signaling the index would drop more than 100 points when trading begins.
In foreign markets, investors seemed not ready to overwhelmingly endorse Obama's win. In Europe, key indexes in Britain, France and Germany opened higher but reversed course and were all trading lower Wednesday. In Asia, markets ended the day mixed.
Investors seem to be looking past the hard-fought Obama win and focusing on the virtual status quo that remains in Congress, where Republicans retain control, and the Senate, in which the Democrats still have a slim majority, altered little by picking up two seats.
That means averting the so-called "fiscal cliff" looming in December, when a host of mandated budget cuts and tax cut expirations, could be just as troublesome as investors had feared before they knew the outcome of the presidential election. The biggest fear is that Washington's inability to compromise will amplify economic and financial woes plaguing the U.S.
The dollar was stronger against the euro, which dipped 0.4% to $1.2756, probably more a reflection of ongoing worries about the debt crisis in Europe. Greece faces its toughest vote yet Wednesday on passing $17.3 billion more in austerity measures to qualify for more bailout funding or default on millions of dollars in loans. The dollar did strengthen slightly, 0.3%, against the yen.
Gold prices had been up as much as 2% overnight but the gains were trimmed to 0.4% by early Wednesday, to $1,725.20, as global investors puzzled over how the election might affect inflation.
Late Tuesday night, experts predicted no long-lasting change in market sentiment because an Obama win likely translates into no major changes in U.S. international policy.
"An Obama victory will leave less uncertainty for the markets and probably help what's been better sentiment in Asia recently," said Mark Headley of Matthews Asia Pacific fund. Had Romney won, it would have meant "more uncertainty for a world already with lots of uncertainty."
Before Tuesday's vote, markets overseas had already been pricing in and anticipating a win by President Obama as investors hoped for the continuity, said Jim Welsh, portfolio manager of the Forward Tactical Enhanced Fund. Foreign investors appreciate the "stability that a reelection of Obama would provide," he says.
The Fiscal Cliff Just Got Steeper
November 7, 2012
Rick Newman
President Barack Obama pauses as he speaks at the election night party at McCormick Place, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Chicago. Obama defeated Republican challenger former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
There's less uncertainty on the political landscape. But there's now more to worry about.
For a short while, Wall Street seemed to be fantasizing about a strong Republican showing in the 2012 elections, which would have brought single-party control to a notoriously fractious and dysfunctional government in Washington, D.C. That's one explanation for why the stock market had a banner day as voters were heading to the polls, rising by nearly 1 percent on a day when there was little tangible news to justify the gain.
But after a seemingly endless campaign and $6 billion worth of political spending, Americans voted to reelect President Obama, keep Congress more or less the way it's been, and continue the divided government that's been in place for the last two years. Many analysts considered that a worst-cast scenario in terms of resolving the "fiscal cliff," the huge set of tax hikes and spending cuts set to go into effect in 2013 if Washington doesn't come up with a better plan.
Since averting the cliff would require some kind of compromise between Democrats who control the White House and Senate, and Republicans who control the House of Representatives, a continuation of the status quo suggests that the same spiteful partisan squabbling that already dominates Washington will suffuse negotiations over cutting the deficit and starting to pay down the $16 trillion national debt.
"A status quo outcome will be viewed as a disappointment, and markets may sell off somewhat in the short run," wrote David Joy, chief market strategist for Ameriprise Financial, in a brief analysis of the election's consequences. "It will be viewed as an outcome which offers the prospect for continued partisan bickering on a budget deal, and which increases the likelihood of brinksmanship on the fiscal cliff."
Many analysts assumed that a Republican sweep, including control of both houses of Congress, would have raised the likelihood of a deal to rescind most or all of the tax increases scheduled to go into effect in 2013—which amount to about $545 billion. But Obama wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, which Republicans have said they won't tolerate.
That portends a nasty standoff similar to the meltdown that occurred when the U.S. borrowing limit needed to be raised in the summer of 2011, and bitter partisan wrangling went till the very last second. The borrowing limit did get raised, but the needless 11th-hour drama—plus the collapse of a broader deal to corral the mushrooming national debt—led to the first-ever downgrade in the U.S. credit rating. Over the next month, the stock market fell by seven percent.
So it's little wonder that Wall Street expects more of the same when an even bigger set of deadlines hits at the end of the year. "In a scenario in which the political makeup inside the beltway is largely unchanged from last summer, we expect an intense battle," investment bank UBS advised clients in a research note ahead of the election.
There are still plenty of ways that a divided Washington could steer clear of the cliff and spare the economy another unneeded shock. President Obama, who hasn't staked out a strong stance on deficit reduction, could grant House Republicans a few of their priorities—which mostly involve spending cuts—in order to reach a compromise. Chastened Republicans might show a stronger inclination to solve problems rather than scoring political points. Business leaders, who have been heavily lobbying for a solution, might finally bang some sense into the politicians.
But none of that will happen for a while, if it happens at all. In the meantime, brace for a few weeks that may be the bumpiest of the year so far. The election is over, but the fighting probably isn't.

Cop Brings Gun to a Snowball Fight, Could Cost City $10 Million
In February of 2010, off duty NYPD officer, Sgt. Adonis Ramirez, 34, after being hit by a snowball in the leg, drew his concealed weapon on a group of young men and ordered them to kneel against a fence. He now stands accused of false arrest and battery.
Manuel Rondon, 22, Christian Perez, 23, Johnathan Rodriguez, 26, Anthony Aquino, 19, and Ariel Lopez, 21, were all arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon, attempted assault, menacing, and harassment and were forced to spend a day and a half in jail.
The alleged weapon in question… a snowball.
None of the young men had ever been in any trouble before. 18 year old Ariel Lopez said, "We're innocent, we didn't do anything wrong and he overreacted." Manuel Rondon went on to state, "I felt that at that moment one of us was going to get killed or shot."
The attorney for the five young men claims that Ramirez, "made up facts. He never got hit with a snowball. This guy brings a loaded gun to a snowball fight. It's an incredible abuse of power by a bully with a badge," said attorney Neil Wollerstein.
Eventually all charges against the young men were dropped by the Bronx district attorney.
According to Ramirez, while he may not have had all his facts straight, he felt a possible threat existed and that his actions were fully justified, claiming, "I was outnumbered, and I wasn't taking any chances."
In the "officer needs assistance" call made to 911 to get assistance from New York's finest, to protect this officer from the brutal snowball "assault", Ramirez can be heard telling the young men, while held at gunpoint, "Do not move, Do not move. You brought this upon yourself. You want to be a d–k?" His words come off as strikingly retaliatory rather than based on a fear for his own personal safety.
The abuse of authority and lack of training exhibited in this case are stunning. Mr. Ramirez must have missed the memo that badges don't grant extra rights. The militarization of the police across the US has seemingly created a pandemic of officers acting as though they are above the law they are sworn to uphold. Hopefully, Officer Ramirez, the NYPD, and the city of New York get the memo on this one.

(07/05/12) - There was damage across Mid-Michigan from Thursday morning's storms.Power outages plagued the area, with Genesee County appearing to be the worst hit in the state. Many people were cleaning up following the storms Thursday morning.In this case of Denise Barbee and Xavier Brown, a tree fell on not just their house, but on three cars as well.They say they're not sure what they're going to do next, but they're open to ideas.There was also quite a bit of storm damage in Saginaw County - in the Chesaning
Thursday's storms were the second time that area has been hit hard by wild
weather.Of course, one of the biggest problems with the clean-up Thursday, especially for those without power, is that it's so hot.We are under an excessive heat warning until Friday.

Smoking Musket Hate Index: Volume XVIII - Will Meatball last one more week? Who should be added to the list?
All right, this is it for the first round. If you haven't seen your name, you're safe. HIGGINS/BURR --Tim Higgins and Jim Burr: The unholy duo of college basketball officiating. --Each blew...
They (meaning most likely an inconsiderate social media intern working for the St. John's athletic department) actually said this. In recognition of their tainted victory I doubt many Rutgers fans will be buying Vitamin Water any time soon (as Mike Repole is a major St. John's booster.) On that same note, ESPN's Eamonn Brennan mistakenly thinks that Tim Higgins should be forgiven. That would be unthinkable. This was not an isolated incident where an otherwise-superb official made one awful error, such as when Jim Joyce blew Armando Galarraga's perfect.game. Higgins is a terrible official, as is Jim Burr. The end of the Rutgers/St. John's game was only the latest in a pattern of egregious errors for each. Neither has any business ever working a Big East conference game again.
"You can't get it wrong," Higgins said. "There's nothing to say. At the end of the day it was wrong, and you can't do that."Tim Higgins sounds apologetic, but that won't lessen calls for his ouster. This wasn't an isolated incident, like when Jim Joyce flubbed a perfect game. Higgins (and Jim Burr for that matter) has consistently blown calls for years. He has no business officiating in the Big East.

When you have Tim Higgins and Jim Burr working the same game, there's a 99.8% chance that something like this is going to happen. The Big East almost deserves this. This is only one of three...
This is pretty damning evidence. Big ups to UofLRedbirds.

SB Report first learned via Twitter and later confirmed the sad and devastating passing of 4-year old Tyson Williams; son of Oakland Raiders Defensive Line Coach Terrell Williams. Young Tyson had been battling a sudden illness earlier this month and later died this past Friday; a mere precious handful of days following his fourth birthday.
The entire Oakland Raiders organization was deeply sadden upon hearing the sudden and tragic news. Head Coach Dennis Allen passed along a statement to the media, "We were all shocked by the news we received when we arrived in Baltimore last night. Terrell and Tifini have been dealing with unimaginable tragedy this week, and our hearts go out to them. We're all deeply saddened by the passing of Tyson, and our deepest sympathies go out to Terrell and his entire family."
As per the Oakland Raiders, little Tyson Williams loved cartoons, and his family especially was proud of how caring he was to his eight-month-old brother, Tahj. In fact, before Tyson passed away, he taught his brother to clap.
Those that wish to send condolences should mail them to Williams at team headquarters, 1220 Harbor Bay Parkway; Alameda, CA 94502.

Jack's the lad with third-place finish
7:30pm Tuesday 20th May 2014 in Sport By Sports Desk
Young prospect Jack Stanley enhanced his growing reputation by finishing third at a top invitational open competition in Ipswich.
The ten-year-old Idle C of E Primary School pupil clinched all-round bronze at the Pipers Vale Challenge with a score of 75.10, not far behind the runner-up (75.40) with the gold medal winner on 76.10.
There were 51 boys in the under-ten age category, from clubs across the country, and Jack also picked a couple of individual bronze medals on vault and the pommel.
He trains for 15 hours each week, finishing school at 3.30pm and then going straight to the City of Leeds Gymnastics Club in Seacroft until 7.30pm.
