A Good One
February 21, 2013 § 11 Comments
This morning it was 5 degrees and blustery, with a noncommittal snow flurry swirling in the arctic air. It had snowed the day before, too, and what with the snow and the wind, the front hill of our quarter-mile driveway was host to some impressive drifts. I hadn't plowed the first storm, since I'd yet to replace the lift chain that had broken a few days prior, leaving us with little choice but to scrape clean a mile's worth of gravel road before pulling into Will's barnyard. "Hey, Will," I asked, "Would you be able to run us home?" Instead, he scrounged in his workshop for a random assortment of bolts and washers and chain and we cobbled together a temporary fix that would allow us to traverse the remaining four miles of road that separates our place and Will's. This is one of the things I so appreciate about living in a rural community populated by resourceful folk: Things don't stay broken for long.
Still and all, the fix was unlikely to hold up to the sort of thrashing a good plow session delivers, so I'd procured the hardware necessary to effect a more permanent repair. Which is how I came to be bent over the plow at 7 this morning, drilling and wrenching and pushing and cursing, at least some of which required the dexterity of bare hands. By the time I had everything up and running I was as cold as I've been in a good long while, and I ain't talking the life-affirming sort of cold I spoke of a couple weeks back. No, I'm talking a cold so deep and settled I swore my bones hurt. With the plow fixed, and chores finished, I retreated to the house, where Penny had fried up a mess of bacon and a big ole pan of scrambled eggs, and toasted the two remaining sourdough bialys I'd made when we'd had company a couple nights prior. The boys love bialys, which, for reasons that thankfully elude me, they've taken to calling "toilet knuckles."
After breakfast, the boys and I set out to plow, and almost immediately I commenced to dropping the front end of the truck into a ditch at the furtherest end of the driveway. We hiked back and I got the tractor going and puttered out to the truck, whereby I proceeded to extricate it with the log winch. I was warm now, and furthermore strangely pleased by this complication; I have always loved the honest challenge of a stuck vehicle, particularly when I have an arsenal of pulling implements at my disposal. With the truck freed, Rye and I finished plowing (Fin was off to his weekly wilderness skills school), then walked back to retrieve the tractor and there was a moment, with him seated on my lap and me piloting the big beast down the freshly plowed driveway and the sun almost breaking through the clouds that I thought it might be the most perfect morning of my winter. It made no sense and yet there it was. I'd been up since 5:30, gotten both fires going, made coffee, milked and done chores, fixed the plow, gotten stuck, gotten unstuck, scraped snow off the solar panels, and eaten breakfast. It was just a bit after 8 and in many ways, my day had not yet begun.
But already I knew it was gonna be a good one, that even if it somehow turned to shit I'd have the memory of that moment on the tractor with Rye, one of those immersive moments when I am somehow able to harmonize with all the disparate strings of my imperfect life and it feels as if everything is in tune. I love these moments, but am never able to predict or concoct them, and they seem to strike at the most unlikely times.
So I slowed the tractor down a bit to try and draw it out and Rye put a hand on the steering wheel and we rode home.

Very nice, as usual.
i love the way you write about those special moments. you describe them so perfectly. i always know just what you mean. thank you for another great dose of inspiration.
I always find it amazing that the more appreciated moments come when we least expect them. I almost lost some coffee when I got to your boys name for bialys, which are indeed a fine old school Polish delight. I love them toasted with butter. I also noticed in the image above that your son (Fin?) has a Mora Scout tucked into his belt. I picked up one for my boy about a year ago, I think it's a truly brilliant knife for a kid, and you sure can't beat the price. Thanks for posting so much recently.
slow that tractor down as much as you can because they'll be gone before you know it
You never know when those perfect moments will occur but if you are paying attention you will catch it. It is always the smallest and most unexpected moments that capture our heart and soul.
I thought of you when I read this quote today.

RACINE - One of two teenagers have been scheduled for a trial after they allegedly attacked and robbed a man in a wheelchair.
Alexander Pietsch has had his trial schedule, while Justin Lyons' initial court appearance is set for next week.
They face robbery and battery charges, and penalties could be increased because the victim is disabled.
The beating happened earlier in October in Racine. The victim, David Scholzen, dialed 911 just before the attack.
He claims the defendants tried to steal his smart phone while he was on his way home from a party.
David: "Help! Help!"
Suspect: "Give me that cell phone, (expletive)!"
David: Why are you doing this to me? What the hell?"
Police quickly arrested the suspects. An officer found Scholzen on the ground.
"It made me sick, you know," said Debbie Christensen.
"He's sitting up there like nothing happened, and did not look remorseful to me...Who knows how long he could have laid there before anybody would have come along and see him?"

WASHINGTON (KCBD) - The Supreme Court has rejected appeals from two Texas death row inmates. Prior to those rejections, their executions had been blocked by the court.
In denying appeals Tuesday from former Army recruiter Cleve Foster and Gayland Bradford, the justices cleared the way for the state to schedule new execution dates for the two men.
Last week, the court stopped Foster's lethal injection hours before he was to die for the rape and killing of Mary Pal in Ft. Worth nine years ago. Foster was never convicted for the murder of Texas Tech graduate Rachel Urnosky, however the same gun was used to kill both women.
"One of the things that gripped my heart was the fact that my daughter received no stay of execution," Rachel's father, Terry Urnosky, told KCBD NewsChannel 11 last week.
In a completely separate case, Justice Antonin Scalia granted a reprieve to Bradford in October. He received a death sentence for the shooting death of a Dallas grocery store security guard more than two decades ago.

Authorities with the Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control Board, or ABC, say they have found and destroyed an illegal, 15 barrel working moonshine operation in Bullock County.
Officials say the agents located the still on March 7 in an area between Union Springs and Eufaula, near the Midway Community.
The still contained 25 gallons of moonshine packaged for transport in a variety of plastic containers including those used to hold gasoline, cooking oil and other liquids.
No arrests have been made in connection with the still's discoveryl, but agents say they are aware of several individuals known to cook moonshine in the area.
Officials are also making efforts to locate the property manager.
No other details have been released.

Less than half of all applicants to Flagler College will receive an acceptance letter, and successful applicants will need solid SAT or ACT scores and a strong academic record. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. You can see that most students who got in had high school averages of "B" or higher, combined SAT scores of about 1550 or higher, and ACT composite scores of 21 or higher.
You'll notice, however, that some students with grades and test scores that were on target for Flagler did not get in. The opposite is also true -- a handful of students with grades and test scores below the norm were admitted. This is because the college's admissions process is not based on a simple matrix of numerical data. The admissions folks want to see that you have taken rigorous high school courses that have prepared you for college-level work. Those AP and IB classes greatly improve your chances of receiving an acceptance letter. Flagler uses the Common Application and has holistic admissions, so the college will also want to see an engaging admissions essay, dedicated involvement in extracurricular activities, and glowing letters of recommendation. Flagler does not require interviews, but the school does highly recommend them (read Reasons to Do an Optional Interview).

Adam Harold Hogg, 25, pleaded not guilty in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Shelburne on Friday to charges of aggravated assault, failing to provide the necessities of life and failing to get medical help, thereby causing bodily harm to his baby.
His trial will begin Oct. 29.
Originally, his trial was to be held in provincial court, but he re-elected to be heard in Supreme Court, where he has chosen to be tried by a judge alone.
Hogg is accused of assaulting his infant son sometime between Nov. 26 and 27, 2011, at a home on Woodlawn Drive in Lake George, on the outskirts of Shelburne.
On Nov. 28, police were called to Roseway Hospital in Shelburne at the insistence of medical staff who were worried by what police termed serious injuries to a 23-day-old infant.
RCMP officers with the Southwest Nova major crime unit led an 18-week investigation that required detailed medical records from the IWK Health Centre in Halifax.
Hogg was arrested April 19, 2012, at a home in Barrington, about 38 kilometres west of Shelburne. He was released from custody with conditions including one that he not posses guns or ammunition.
Hogg's only criminal conviction involves the theft of two cans of Rockstar energy drink from a Barrington Passage grocery store in 2008, for which he received a $230 fine.

The CAFE Foundation is very pleased to offer a new array of important reports on extreme body drag reduction in its PAV Technology Library. These reports include work on Goldschmied propulsion that should prove valuable to any team planning to compete in the NASA Centennial Challenge flight competition.
Goldschmied Propulsion Papers Now Available
{ 4 comments… add one }
12/15/2009, 7:37 pm
I have been interested in this type of body ever since reading about it on the CAFE Foundation's web page, though in reading through the papers that were posted, and those others that could be found online, I have yet to come across any more information on the CFD graphic that is posted. Would it be possible to be pointed towards the source of it. Hopefully a paper/journal that has more information. This body shape has great interest to me as it could well be used for a human powered submarine. The larger nose section would suit well a recumbent position. Thanks for your help, I am looking forward to seeing this blog progress.
12/27/2009, 12:37 am
The graphic you mention is a pressure map of an early 'Akron Body' modification for more efficient airship propulsion. This shape was investigated as a straightforward adaptation of an existing form to utilize suction for boundary layer control and pressure thrust (for drag reduction purposes) but it would be a relatively poor choice for most other applications, including yours. Goldschmied's later work showed how an optimum form incorporates natural laminar flow in a forebody portion, and a concave recovery section just past the point of flow transition to turbulence. You can read about them in several of his papers available here: http://cafefoundation.org/v2/tech_lib.php
In the pressure thrust paradigm, suction is utilized to augment the natural momentum of flow collapse into the aft section, and with the right body shape, near-zero drag is realistically achievable. Efficient, practical propulsion, however, is not, because the relationship between the ideal mass flow of suction-based drag reduction and the ideal mass flow of propulsion (within the available volume of the body) is diverging. Attempts to combine objectives will lead to exponential efficiency loss as the ingested fluid medium is tasked beyond simple restoration of boundary layer losses to provide a propulsive increase by inertial reaction.
It turns out that numerically optimized minimum drag bodies of revolution reveal ideal shapes for pressure thrust implementation in each Reynolds number range. Using the original blimp body instead would be inadvisable.
01/08/2010, 10:05 pm
Thank you for the update. I have read through many of the papers, though briefly, but I could not see exactly how this particular graphic corresponded to them. I appreciate the information, and once again I am looking forward to seeing this blog progress.
02/05/2011, 9:27 pm
I am currently an aerospace engineering student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. We are designing an electric general aviation 2-seater aircraft, and have decided to use a Goldschmied system. While we are confident with the fuselage shape and design, and firmly believe that the suction affect is beneficially worthwhile, I am stuck trying to determine if the ducted fan system for creating suction is also enough to create the propulsion necessary to overcome about 35 lbf of drag at 7500 ft and 80 knots cruise speed. Goldschmied claims that this can be done for a similar type craft at 200 mph but I was wondering what anyone thought on the matter? Thank you

Lots of sweeps, locks, and vital point things. Some schools focus on weapons, some focus on the bujinkan taijutsu (the real name of ninjutsu, since ninjutsu is ether fabricated or long dead). It's headed by doctor Hatsumi... quite the scary fellow. I have a friend who took a few years of bujinkan in upstate NY, not a bad style, but if you plan on being 'combat effective' you better train your tail off.

Check if it's Bujinkan or Genbunkan. There are a lot of phony ninjutsu schools out there. That's sounds funny doesn't it? ;) Ninjutsu or ninpo (as it's sometimes called) teaches a lot of escape moves, since historically ninjas were sneaking into a castle, and if they got caught, they either had to escape or die.

From what I have heard ninjitsu is a joke for fighting it is more for weapons fighting.

Group to study benefits of taking on council grass cutting responsibilities
3:20pm Wednesday 9th July 2014 in News By Pete Grant, Reporter
A GROUP has been set up to look at whether Marlow should take control of more of its green spaces after complaints at the state of grass verges.
Marlow Town Council has established a working group to investigate whether the funding deal on the table to take over maintenance, worth nearly £25,000 over four years, is in the town's interests.
Marlow could be given funding for the next four years to look after its own roadside verges, labelled "horrible" by Mayor Suzanne Brown.
But for the scheme to go ahead, Marlow town would need to team up with a cluster of nearby parishes to share services among themselves.
The team will study the pros and cons of taking on the responsibility, which would extend to any verges on roads with 30mph speed limit or below, and report their findings at the next town council meeting.

Indiana Rep. Mike Pence (R) has apologized for comparing Thursday's Supreme Court ruling on health care reform to the tragic, bloody attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to Politico.
Pence, who's currently seeking Indiana's governorship, made the statement during a closed-door meeting of the House Republicans, according to sources who were present.
He immediately apologized after being confronted by a reporter.
"My remarks at the Republican Conference following the Supreme Court decision were thoughtless," he reportedly told Politico. "I certainly did not intend to minimize any tragedy our nation has faced and I apologize."

Yes, the QB play has been inconsistent and we still can't establish the run. I think we're down to one healthy offensive lineman and we're kicking way too many field goals.
So what is there to look forward to?
The defense has been dominant, especially on 3rd down. We're still rolling out two freshmen quarterbacks, who of course are gonna make mistakes. But the thing is, this team is 4-0 and we won tonight 33-7. It hasn't been perfect but how could anyone expect perfect at this point? Take 4-0 right now and sit back and dream about where this team will be 3 years from now.
Then, like any good Red Raider, let's get back to dreaming about a Big 12 Championship this year with this group of wet behind the ears players and coaches.
Air the mother out Big Phil.
Let's celebrate a 4-0 start and relish the fact that we've got two weeks to get better.
And if you need more proof that this was a good night, then stew on this. None other than David Mother Humpin Ubben retweeted us! Ubben doesn't hate us! This is the best year ever!
Ubben loves us!

Markel Brown scored 25 points and hit 7-of-9 from deep—all in the first half—and the No. 17 Oklahoma State Cowboys rolled over the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Wednesday, 91-67.
The Cowboys were nearly unstoppable on offense Wednesday. They finished 32-of-57 from the field (56.1 percent), 12-of-21 from 3-point range (57.1 percent) and 15-of-21 from the free-throw line (71.4 percent).
Oklahoma State moved into a three-way tie for first place in the Big 12 with the win, now sitting at 8-3 along with the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats. The Cowboys take on the Oklahoma Sooners at home on Saturday before facing the Jayhawks, also at home, Feb. 20. Oklahoma State closes its season March 9 at home against Kansas State.
Brown was one of four Cowboys in double figures: Phil Forte had 14 points, Michael Cobbins finished with 13, and Marcus Smart scored 10 points. Cobbins had the game's only double-double; he also had 12 rebounds.

Bill Cardille was your host, and Hall of Famer Pie Traynor did the live ads for American Heating Company. ("Who can, Pie? Ameri-can!")
There was Bruno and the Crusher (Homer's all-time fave and idol) and heels like Johnny Valentine and local good guys like Jumpin' Johnny DeFazio, Ace Freeman, Hurricane Hunt and Frankie Holtz, the cop from Carnegie. And there was a devoted fan in the front row named Annie Buckalew, who was nicknamed Ringside Rosie.
But the guy responsible for keeping order in the ring and making sure the rules were followed was a guy named Izzy Moidel. Izzy lived in Squirrel Hill and was a former amateur boxer. He certainly had the face and ears of a former boxer. They claimed he once fought Rocky Marciano. Then they said the reason no one had a record of the alleged fight was that it was an exhibition onboard a ship during the war when they were both in the service. Or something like that.
Izzy played the role of the blind ref. He would always be distracted by something, often in tag team matches, when he would chastise one good guy," while the two villains were choking or beating the hell out of the other good guy. He never saw the bad guy hit the good guy with the roll of nickels that were "hidden" in his trunks. And when the fans would point out to Izzy that he missed something, he'd engage in conversation with the fans, turning his back on the action. Then, invariably, the bad guys did something even worse. Poor Izzy. If there was a Lingerie Wrestling League, they would have fired him.
But Izzy was an indispensable part of the Studio Wrestling show, which - at its peak - had more than 200,000 viewers. He was great entertainment, and a key part of the story line. He was sincere as a Boy Scout, but blind as a bat. He was totally out of his league. He was pure entertainment.
Which brings Homer to the NFL.
Homer gets a daily e-mail blast called 1st and 10 from the NFL. Today's had four or five articles about the refs, and how bad some of their calls are, and one asking if it's time to end the lockout. There's even stuff about the "Inaccurate Reception," as Monday night's infamous Hail Mary is being called.
Just as Joe "Toots" Mondt and Vince McMahon's dad used Blind Ref Izzy Moidel as part of their story line, now the NFL publicity machine has taken to spin the lockout into their story line. People are obsessed with the awful calls and the injuries and the teams getting jobbed -- politicians from the President on down are weighing in. The owners have become the heels, the old refs are now the good guys, and the new refs are a hundred Izzy Moidels.
Publicity, someone once said, is never a bad thing, as long as they spell your name right. Well, anybody can spell NFL, and they are spinning this story like dervishes, trying to turn chicken shit into chicken salad.
Homer thinks that might just happen if they remember that NFL stands for "not for long." If the owners - especially those uber-jerks Jerry Jones and Jerry Richardson - understand that it's time to end the lockout, and time to bring back the good guys (the real refs) to the rescue.
If they wait too long, they will squander this golden opportunity. But, for now, the NFL is on everyone's mind and everyone's tongue. It's time for Ed Hochuli and his tag team partners to rush out from the dressing room and restore order and make sure law and order triumph.
As much as I loved Izzy, he and Rosie have long since left us. It's time for the other blind refs to go, too. This golden opportunity to save the integrity of the game will be around "Not For Long."

The bee pollen nutrition profile is one of the most impressive in
There are very few foods that are included in the pantheon of "superfoods" but bee pollen is one of them.
My opinion is not an isolated one. Researchers and authors all over the world laud its health benefits.
Unlike some superfoods, along with fish oil supplements, bee pollen is one of the most researched in
the world.
So, what makes bee pollen so special? To answer that, one needs to talk about its nutritional profile. Let's do
that now. Here is a breakdown of the nutritional profile that is endemic to bee pollen.
The beneficial components of organic bee pollen that have been identified so far include:
Bee pollen, or bee bread as it's sometimes called, is rich
in minerals like copper, calcium, iron, phosphorus and magnesium.
It is especially teeming with vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and B5.
One of the reasons as to why it's especially considered to be such a great energy supplement is due to its full
complement of the B vitamin complex.
What about serving sizes, though? What about cholesterol, sodium, calories?
As you can see from the graphic entitled Nutrition Facts, one teaspoon of bee pollen granules gives 16 calories,
0 mg (miligrams) of cholesterol, 0 mg of sodium, etc. It should be self-explanatory.
That doesn't tell the ful picture, though, does it? The full complement of vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and
other nutritional co-factors constitute the real nutritional valence of bee pollen.
It should also be mentioned that there are some unidentifiable trace elements that modern scientists don't
So perhaps what makes it a superfood is found in those unidentifiable trace elements.
I'm not going to try to hard sell you. If you're interested in a world-class bee pollen supplement that actually
works and is proven to work with an 80% assimilation rate that is guaranteed (I've been taking it since May 2004),
this is the one.
This bee pollen supplement doesn't just have bee pollen but a complement of other nutrients that form a real
nutritional powerhouse.
Its nutritional effects will be noticed. I heartily endorse
it. When you throw in the fact that it is processed and manufactured in cGMP compliant facilities with standards
that meet the FDA's standards for pharmaceutical-grade quality drugs, it's even better.
It's real quality bee pollen that is derived from bee hives on the south island of New Zealand, an area noted
for being especially pristine and picturesque.
They also have a complete one-year, money-back
satisfaction guarantee. I love that as it proves they're serious about product quality.
If you'd like to learn more about it, go here. If you want a real detailed review instead, go to this page here within this site.
I hope this bee pollen nutritional profile web page has been helpful for you.

One of the most common symptoms men face when they reach their sixties and seventies (sometimes even earlier), is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH may sound unfamiliar until called by its more common name, enlarged prostate.
The prostate is located just below the bladder, and it connects to the urethra, which is the tubular structure that carries urine from the bladder outside of your body when you urinate. When a prostate is enlarged, there is excess cell growth in the prostate. The prostate may press too tightly around the urethra, interfering with its normal flow. If your symptoms are extremely severe, you may be unable to urinate at all, which is an emergency that you should tell your urologist about right away.
Surgery is the most effective and longest lasting treatment of all of the options available for BPH today. Symptom improvement can last as long as 10 years. However, of all of the options, surgery is the one most likely to leave you with erectile dysfunction. If you are bothered a lot by BPH symptoms, you should weigh the pros and cons of this treatment option before choosing it.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
A transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common surgery performed for BPH. It is considered the gold standard treatment for BPH because it has been around the longest. It is the treatment that newer treatments are often compared to.
The surgery involves inserting a very small tubular camera or endoscope that is passed through the tip of the penis up through the urethra and into the bladder and removing excess tissue from the prostate.
During the first part of this procedure, the urologist checks for problems in the bladder itself, such as bladder tumors or stones. Assuming that the urologist finds no unexpected problems, an electrical loop is then placed up through the urethra and close to the area where prostate tissue is pressing up against the urethra. The loop removes excess tissue in the prostate. The electrical loop is also used to control bleeding where the surgery was performed.
The tissue that is removed is analyzed at a laboratory to ensure that no prostate cancer is present. A catheter is placed up through the urethra and bladder to collect your urine until you heal.
The procedure is usually done in the hospital under spinal anesthesia. Hospital stays are short, sometimes as short as one day under managed care. At discharge, you should be sure that your urologist gives you instructions on how to take care of yourself and a sense of potential complications.
Recovery After TURP
You should expect to have a urinary catheter in several hours to a few days. If you go home with a catheter, you will be seen by your urologist within a day or two of the procedure to have the catheter removed.
After returning home, men commonly see blood in the urine. Though alarming at first, this is often just a flushing out of scab material from the wound around surgery. However, if your urine is an intense red, contact your doctor immediately.
- Be sure that you rest in bed right after surgery and that you drink plenty of fluids. This will wash out any blood deposits and prevent a clot, which could lead to a blockage in your urinary tract.
- Avoid driving and heavy lifting.
- Do not strain when you are moving your bowels.
- If you are constipated, ask your doctor for advice on the best way is to handle it (whether taking a laxative is OK for you).
Side Effects of TURP
During the first few months after the procedure, you may experience urinary discomfort. At first, you may have a very strong urinary flow that you cannot control. However, your surgical wound area will be exposed once your catheter is out, so you may feel pain when you urinate. Within a few months, your urinary flow will stabilize, and uncontrollable urination or hesitation will subside.
Some men have complications from surgery. The main side effect that occurs is retrograde ejaculation. When you ejaculate, your semen will flow up toward your bladder, not out as it normally does. This may not be a concern for men who do not want to father children, but it is a common reason for male infertility.
Long-term erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence are the symptoms that men worry about the most. Ask your doctor what proportion of men with your symptoms and profile end up with long-term erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. The chance of this happening is difficult to predict, however, because studies have figures all over the map. Urinary incontinence tends to me much less common (usually around 1%) than erectile dysfunction.
Possibility of More Extensive Surgery: Open Prostatectomy
Sometimes it is not possible to remove prostate tissue from a very large prostate using a transurethral procedure. Your doctor will not be able to get a large enough tube up the urethra, so an open prostatectomy -- the surgical removal of the entire prostate -- may be necessary.
Other reasons that you may need an open procedure include having bladder stones or an inability to place your legs in stirrups to allow for TURP or minimally invasive surgical procedures to be performed.
Because it is open surgery, you will be in the hospital for a few days, and you will have more pain than that with less invasive procedures,
Symptom Improvement With Surgery for BPH
Overall improvement in patient symptoms, according to the American Urological Association, is as follows:
- Open Prostatectomy: 98%

OCEANA (WVVA) - A community comes together after a documentary rocks their foundation.
'Oxyana' took home top honors at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, but the film's debut was not nearly as well received by residents.
With babies crawling through barbwire and dark shadow cast, town hall organizer D.J. Morgan said the film is more reminiscent of a scene from the Walking Dead than the town he calls home.
Morgan decided it was time to fight back and called for a town hall.
"Mr. Dunne spent three weeks in our community. He used those three weeks to try to define us, Oceana, in his own terms. Today, we start to define our town in our own terms," said Morgan.
"Having people together talking about things is an extraordinarily positive sign and it's going to make a world of difference," said Goodwin.
"Truth be told, Mr. Dunn told a story we didn't like. But here's where we have to get real. The film did speak to a prescription pill problem we have in this area and now we're going to come together for a solution." added Morgan.
From tougher laws to more treatment facilities, dozens of ideas were brought to the table by state leaders, law enforcement, and members of the community. But at the end of the day, Morgan said one thing is clear. "It's time to take our town back."
The group will reconvene six months from Friday for a second town hall scheduled for December 5, 2013.

After the UConn game last week I made the comment to my fiance that Peyton Siva finally looked like he was happy, and having fun again. She replied that it was almost as if he had finally escaped from the deadly swamps of sadness like Atreyu. She is my muse; and, for those of you who don't know what the "Deadly Swamps of Sadness" are, keep reading after the jump and the theme will make sense.......
The Deadly Swamps of Sadness were a mythical place from a popular 1980s movie titled "The Never Ending Story." If you've never seen this movie, then you're probably in your early 20s because it was pretty popular for the kids, and adults of my youth. After I started thinking about it, the movie itself serves as a pretty good analogy for the program right now. I apologize in advance to anyone who is not familiar with the movie, and hope that anyone who is, enjoys this post as much as I think I will enjoy writing it.
The story describes the fantasy world of Fantasia, which is all of humanity's hopes and dreams, and it is being threatened by a force called "The Nothing," a void of darkness that consumes everything and makes everything seem hopeless. The Nothing represents human apathy, cynicism, and the denial of childish dreams—and it eats away at Fantasia.
"The Nothing"= The mood of gloom and despair that was hanging over the program/ season/ aspirations a few weeks ago, which found its peak after the Providence game. Many things brought, many of us myself included, to that point. The injuries, the in-cohesive play of the team, the odd statements emanating from players in the locker room.
Siva= Atreyu: As Mike said many times in the preseason, and during his slump, Siva is the catalyst for this team and it will only go as far as he can take them. This makes him very similar to Atreyu, the protagonist of TNES, in that all the hopes of Fantasia rested on his shoulders. Much like Atreyu,.... Siva has carried the hopes of many people from the start of this journey.
Swamps of Sadness= the Injury bug: In the movie, our hero has to navigate his way through the Deadly Swamps of Sadness. The Swamps are a mysterious place where even the most positive and upbeat person can lose hope. In the movie, if you let the sadness of the swamps overcome you, you would sink into the mud and perish. Much like Atreyu, Siva fell victim to the sadness of the injury bug. He let himself not only become affected by his physical limitations,... but he also appeared that he had let doubt creep into his mind.
Artax=Players lost to the Swamp: In the movie, Artax is Atreyu's white horse, his best friend, and his supporting cast. Unfortunately Artax is lost in the swamps, and Atreyu has to leave him behind while sinking into the mud. There's no real need to recount the players lost to injury this year, but I hope you see the comparison. There is however a happy comparison to come from this later which involves a certain portly player.
Falkore= Gorgui: In the movie, after his team mate(s) is lost to the sadness of the swamp,... Atreyu/ Siva fights on for awhile but he almost gives up. He finds himself sinking into the mud of the swamp, and is almost doomed to the same fate as Artax. Then, magically, out of nowhere,.... our hero (and the hopes all humanity) is rescued by a a giant "Luck Dragon" named Falkore. Falkore swoops in from out of nowhere to carry our hero, and the hopes of humanity/ Card Nation, on his back for the remainder of the journey. Just when all seems lost, this blessing saves the day; and, Atreyu finds new hope believes that he can complete his journey.
The Sphinx= Syracuse Zone: Armed with a new-found hope, and with his injuries healed...... Atreyu/ Siva then must face his greatest test of the journey by passing through the Gates to the Southern Oracle (New Orleans), the Sphinxes. The Sphinxes are two giant statues that kill anyone who tries to pass between them with beams of light that shoot from their eyes. Atreyu is instructed on how to get through the gates by an old scientist (Rick Pitino) who has spent years studying the Sphinxes and knows all of their secrets.
In the end our hero prevails, he passes through the gates and eventually saves Fantasia from "The Nothing." Towards the end, we see that Artax (Fat Wayne) is magically returned to Atreyu. Will our hero lead us to New Orleans? I don't know the answer to that anymore than you do; but, I know that there is a new hope and optimism about the program right now. We've suffered through an incredibly depressing time and things seem to be going well. Most of the answers for how well, and what the expectations for the rest of the year should be, could potentially be answered tonight.
Go Cards.... Beat Cuse

Golfer Harry Whitfield
Posted: February 05, 2014|
By Gary Shenton
THE SPORT of golf has one of its oldest club members in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Harry Whitfield, pictured above, continues to tee off at Greenway Hall at the age of 90. He plays three times a week the club, where he has been a member since 1971.
This June, members will be playing for a trophy named in his honour.
Jan Matthews, chairman of the Greenway Hall members' committee, said: "Harry is an absolute treasure.
"Many of our members have known him for donkey's years. He is a very charming and complete gentleman."
Harry, from Sneyd Green, made club history in 2009 when, aged 84, he became Greenway Hall's oldest golfer to hit a hole-in-one when his five-iron tee shot disappeared out of view on the 120-yard par three third.
He said: "I love being part of the club here, I have made lots of friends."
Greenway Hall was founded in 1909 as Stockton Brook golf club, with nine holes, before expanding to 18 holes in 1930, after acquiring land from Greenway Hall Farm – hence the club's change of name.

Fellow swashbucklers, it is now time to step up and let your voice THUNDER!! I have seen many comments on Bucs Nation referring to protesting by not showing up for the Monday night game. I say poppycock! I have a much more effective idea. For if you simply don't show, well that will be what is expected from a fan base of an 0-8 team. The Glazers are not that easily impressed. They are used to a stadium a few seats shy of a fully-swabbed deck. This really didn't seem to bother them for several years when the economy had central Florida bleeding out. They could have lowered ticket prices. They could have made more of an effort to appease and grow the fans by avoiding blackouts. But I didn't see them crying about this. Not at all. They were too busy counting the coins in their many overflowing treasure chests of Manchester United gold.
No. What they need is a nice, healthy dose of humiliation! So much of it in fact that it CAN'T be ignored. And how can this be accomplished? Well, it starts with what all good lynch mobs need- solidarity. Torches, pitchforks and good old-fashioned NASTY! And since you probably won't get past security with a lit fire and multi-pronged sharp object, your weapon of choice will have to be poster board and magic marker. Let's pack the house at Ray Jay with 50,000 plus posters of NASTINESS! "Fire Schiano" will be the mantra. But don't let your creativity be stifled. I'll bet there is a plethora of ways to speak that notion. And Monday Night Football will be there to catch all of them on camera.
Since the game will certainly not be that interesting, THE story will be YOUR message! It will be impossible to ignore. Hey, wear a paper bag over your face if you want. But make sure it says something embarrassing about the coaching staff on it. This coaching staff has made a mockery out of our beloved franchise. Let's show them it is not our team that is the "laughing stock" but rather the joke-for-a-coach Schiano and his minion deputies Bill "Barney Fife" Sheridan and Mike "Soiled Myself" Sullivan. I know I can't wait to hear Mike Tirico and John Gruden wax eloquently about it.
So Buc fans, let's let our voices be heard on this biggest of stages! It is not our players that are embarrassing. It is our coaches. Their ineptitude is sabotaging the efforts of our players and costing them games. And it's high time the Glazers stand up and do right by us. It is time they make these dismissive, arrogant jerks walk the plank. It is time for them to say, "Schiano, Sheridan, Sullivan...you're shark food!"

.280/.367/.469/.836 with 19 homers over 135 games. This was Ryan Howard's line, also in Lakewood, also at age 22. He turned out OK.
Anyone care to speculate about why Taylor's not in Clearwater yet? Lakewood is one of the few teams in the Phillies system that doesn't blow, and perhaps the Phillies want him to get a taste of winning. So, do they promote him after the ASB? This article seems to suggest he's going nowhere in the immediate future, but there's nothing concrete indicating why. Other than that, I've got nothing. Would there be any good reason to keep him down in Low-A for a whole season and then double-jump him to Reading next year, rather than promote him to Clearwater mid-season and then let him tackle Double-A with some high-A experience?
Talk to me about this guy. I know he's 6'6", 250 lbs, and presently plays left field. Does he have a future in the OF? The steals indicate he has some speed, but him size suggests he won't keep it forever. The only other obvious place for him to play would be first base... could he supplant Howard there in a couple of years, assuming Howard prices himself out of town or falls apart or something?Speaking of the Howard comparison, as Ryan is showing some signs that he may not be able to regain his MVP form, would it perhaps behoove the Phils to try to fasttrack Taylor so that he's not hitting MLB just as he reaches his prime?

Constitutional Chaos: Lawmakers Seek Asylum
Posted Apr 25, 2007 5:07 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Two dozen members of Ecuador's legislature are facing treason charges after a crisis over a popular vote last week on constitutional reform.
Nearly half are now seeking asylum in Colombia, after warrants for their arrest on treason charges were issued, the BBC reports, and more may follow suit.
The 24 legislators, who are part of a larger group that oppose constitutional reform called for by President Rafael Correa, are accused of sedition for "rising against the government, refusing to recognise the constitution, and impeding a meeting of the Congress," the BBC quotes a prosecutor as saying.
In recent days, both legislators and constitutional court judges have been dismissed—and, in some cases, reinstated—as part of the ongoing battle over the future direction of the country.

KSP-Vehicle Enforcement Officer Receives DUI Enforcement Award
Date of News Release: 12/12/2011
CVE West Troop winner Officer Jeremy Younger (Region 3), who made 44 impaired driving arrests
(GEORGETOWN, Ky.) - The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) today honored 201 law enforcement officers from 185 agencies across the Commonwealth for their efforts to target impaired drivers.
The 2011 Governor's Impaired Driving Enforcement Awards ceremony was held at the Embassy Suites hotel in Lexington. Awards were presented to officers with the most impaired driving arrests in each agency and division.
"Impaired driving is not an accident it's an epidemic of careless disregard for human life," said KOHS Director Bill Bell, who presented the awards at the ceremony. "These officers, their departments and agencies render a great service for public safety by removing drunken and drugged drivers from our roads."
In Kentucky, more than 5,800 impaired crashes resulted in 154 deaths and more than 3,200 injuries in 2010.
"Public safety improves exponentially every time an impaired driver is removed from the roadway," Justice and Public Safety Secretary J. Michael Brown said. "Were it not for the actions of these men and women, there would undoubtedly be more accidents, injuries or worse on our streets and highways."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one out of every three Americans will be impacted by a drunken driving crash in their lifetime.
"The decision to drive impaired is not only illegal, but reckless and irresponsible behavior," said KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "Law enforcement officers know that for every drunken driver that is removed from the road, it is potentially one less tragedy some family will have to face."
Stephen and Karen Sikra spoke about the effects of surviving a drunken driving crash and thanked the officers for preventing other families from dealing with same physical and mental trauma.
"I never thought we'd be a statistic," said Karen. "But we are using our experience as an opportunity to help save lives by encouraging people to enjoy the holidays, but warning them to celebrate responsibly."
The Sikra family will be featured in two television public service announcements airing statewide during the holiday Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign Dec. 16, 2011 through Jan. 2, 2012. This annual campaign is sponsored by NHTSA and the KOHS.

You can protect the environment, as well as saving on energy costs, by using green energy at home. You don't need an electric vehicle to make a difference! Read this guide for simple ways on how to make your house energy efficient, while on any type of budget.
One way to save money on lighting is to use paint for your walls that is lighter and brighter. Dark wall colors create the feeling of a dark room. Therefore, more electricity will be used to light up the space. Selecting lighter colors will make you home feel brighter, which would mean you can save money because you will use less electricity.
As you plan for a solar energy array, use winter time sunshine hours to calculate from. This will guarantee you energy no matter the weather, and it will have you entering the summer safely without energy concerns as well. You can actually get money back from your utility company for any energy your generate if you're on the net usage plan.
For those wanting to go seriously green, go with straw bale at home. Straw is a great form of insulation as well as being inexpensive to use. If you don't want to build an entire house from straw bales, consider making one of your property's secondary structures straw-based.
Write yourself reminders to stay on top of new energy efficiency goals, and check every utility bill against the previous year's to see if you are making gains. Simply being more conscious of your energy expenditures can help you to significantly reduce them. For instance, if your stated goal is to reduce your consumption of electricity and water, you are more apt to remember to turn off the lights and shut off the faucet when not using them.
Green Energy
There are new jobs being created almost daily for those specializing in green energy. You might want to change your career path or let other people know that a job in the green energy field is something that is growing and going to last. There are a lot of jobs that are linked to going green, such as a wind or solar technician.
Be sure to learn more about passive and active solar power. Active solar power is stored so it can be used later, but passive doesn't need pricey solar panel cells to store power. Active power requires the installation of solar panels, mechanical systems, and cells. Passive systems use the sun's rays to store energy withing the walls of your home and are significantly cheaper.
You can use biofuels as home heating fuels. The biofuel is produced using fats, wood and oils. Propane furnace mechanics can adjust your furnace so that you can use biofuels in it. The blend you would use could be made up of 20%-99% biodiesel. Talk to a professional before you use these types of fuels so you can do it safely.
You can save a good amount of money on your energy bills by using a programmable thermostat in your home. They have certain setting that allow you to regulate the temperature during any time of the year. They can also be programmed for different temperatures based on whether it's night or day.
Now that you have read this article you surely can see how easy it is to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Show other people how easy being green is. Utilize the tips in this article and put them in place today.

"Blue Bloods" actor Tom Selleck did the voiceover for a Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC commercial that will air during the Oscars this Sunday.
The actor apparently has a warm spot in his heart for the residential brokerage firm. In fact, you might say it's in his blood.
"Coldwell Banker has always been special to me," Selleck said in a statement.
"When I was four, my father put the Sellecks in the family car and left Detroit for Southern California to pursue a career in real estate," Selleck said.
"He worked for Coldwell Banker for 38 years, retiring as an executive vice president. Over that period, my two brothers and sisters were with Coldwell Banker, as well. I was the one exception. I'm proud to say that I'm now part of the family business. Over the last three years I've been pleased to become a part of the family and share such an uplifting message about the importance of home."
During the 60-second "Your Home" spot that will run during the 86th Annual Academy Awards on ABC, Selleck waxes on about how important homes – beyond their mere bricks and mortar — are to us all.
"The Oscars are perfectly timed to reach consumers with our message of how home plays a role in the story of our lives while also aligning with the spring home-buying and selling season," Coldwell Banker Senior Vice President of Marketing Sean Blankenship said in a statement. "It's also fitting that the Oscars will pay homage to the 75th anniversary of 'The Wizard of Oz' and Judy Garland's classic line, 'There's no place like home.'"
It isn't Coldwell Banker's first commercial on a major TV awards show.
In January, the real estate firm aired a "Home Sweet Home" spot during the 56th Annual Grammy Awards show, rather appropriately featuring the Mötley Crüe anthem of the same name as its soundtrack.
All these TV spots are part of the broker's 2014 "Your Home" ad campaign, and its strategy to advertise during major events.

Site Sounds Website Visitor Notification is a fun
Site Sounds Website Visitor Notification is a fun and useful program used to audibly and visually monitor the traffic on your website. Site Sounds consists of a small program that sits in your system tray, listening for incoming connections on the port your specify. You place one line of HTML code in the offsite pages you want to be monitored. When a visitor views those pages, the program plays a sound of your choosing to alert you. A small, pop-up window can also be made to appear at the bottom of your screen as a visual form of notification. The date, IP of the visitor and the URL of the page visited are logged into a list box on the program screen in real time. Further, an option of the program allows the user to assign a unique sound (.wav) to any web page. This gives the user the ability to audibly, and in real time, track the visitor as he moves through his website by the sounds that are played. The user could even record his own voice to identify certain pages, and the program will play back the unique voice recordings each time a visitor enters those pages. A webmaster may use Site Sounds simply to get an idea how his website is performing on a certain day without having to open server logs or go to his web statistics service. He might also use Site Sounds to give real time aural or visual indication of the time and frequency visitors go to a few key pages, such as a signup page, payment page, or confirmation page for a product he sells. Webmasters with more than one website can assign these sounds or visual cues to indicate the traffic on each site independently. The program is also a lot of fun! Sitting in the home or office and "hearing" the traffic as it occurs on your website is like being a shopkeeper and hearing each customer enter the store when that jungle sounds. It gives you a more personal connection to your website visitors.
dlTube.net did not scan Site Sounds 2.0 for viruses, adware, spyware or other badware.

DARLINGTON, SC (WMBF) - A child was bitten by a dog in Darlington on Tuesday after entering his neighbor's yard.
City of Darlington Police Chief Danny Watson says the seven-year-old boy crawled through a fence to get in the yard where his neighbor's dog was kept.
And that's when the mixed-breed canine bit him three times. Those wounds are not life-threatening and the child is expected to be ok, Chief Watson said.
The child did take a trip to the hospital where he received stitches.
Watson assured the dog will be quarantined for 10 days, per the protocol for these incidents, to see if it shows any signs of rabies.

Novelization regarding Joker...
by kindofabigdeal
When I was growing up I found myself orphaned at an early age. Fortunately I found myself in the care of a doctor. This doctor worked in these very walls that I now find myself in. You see, this doctor worked in behaviour modification. Each day after work he would ask me how my day was. With the ever present memory of my recently deceased parents I would tell him...sad. He would take me to the basement and attatch electrodes to my head. He would light me up like a christmas tree until I told him I was happy. But I had tears I would get zapped again for lying. Finally I got fed up with the questions and the lies. I decided to do something permanent about it. I decided to make a smile that would never, ever, be percieved as a lie again.

Tallboy, good point. What a dick
by Domi'sInnerChild
Made everybody feel sad. Alfred probably had to pay for the funeral. Only reason I can see for it would be to dodge taxes.
July 31, 2012, 3:30 p.m. CST
Why, because Morgan Freeman keeps MAKING him be Batman?
by Domi'sInnerChild
He could have quit any time he wanted. He even left clues and showed himself to Alfred afterwards. Total dick move.
July 31, 2012, 3:37 p.m. CST
Am I only one that thinks Batman did die?
by HoboCode
The last scene felt very Inception-y to me. Alfred said he imagined seeing Bruce in that same scenario in the beginning. Was he doing that again perhaps out of grief?
July 31, 2012, 4:11 p.m. CST
No, no, no. Alfred died while dreaming about Batman being alive
by Domi'sInnerChild
Batman actually died of infection while in the grimy prison with a broken back. All the stuff with a big timer on the bomb, Gordon rolling around inside trucks, cops stuck in the sewers, Robin running around, etc. was just Afred loaded.
July 31, 2012, 4:32 p.m. CST
Alfred had Alzheimer's. So, the ending was all dementia induced delusion.
by SergeantStedenko
I thought that everyone understood that based on the way he was acting throughout the whole movie. Crying like a pussy, abandoning Bruce and such. The Alfred I know and love never acted like that.
July 31, 2012, 4:54 p.m. CST
hobocode, no, too much evidence that he's alive
by Mattman
Selina isn't at the funeral. Blake gets the info for the batcave. Bat signal mysteriously fixed. Missing pearl necklace. And, of course, the most obvious evidence of all: the auto pilot has been fixed by Bruce Wayne. Even if we DIDN'T see him alive and well with Selina in the end, it would be clear that he's alive.
July 31, 2012, 4:56 p.m. CST
I'd buy that. It's like Alien 3, second half of the movie is all just a dream
by Domi'sInnerChild
They just cut Alfred waking up in the old folks home like they cut Ripley waking up with the surgical scars.
July 31, 2012, 4:56 p.m. CST
Also, Alfred clearly tells him where that cafe is, and that he goes there when on holiday
by Mattman
It wouldn't be hard for Bruce to plan to be there at the same time, as long as he knows Alfred is on holiday in Italy (which, considering the money/resources Bruce probably had stashed away, wouldn't be too hard).
July 31, 2012, 4:59 p.m. CST
tallboy6t6, the reason he lies about the autopilot
by Mattman
He's faking his death, martyring Batman. He knows what a powerful example that will set. Although it is kinda funny he didn't whisper to Selina, "Hey, don't worry, autopilot fixed, I'll catch up with you later." Later on, she must have been pretty pissed at him for making her think he was dead. Of course, presenting her with that necklace probably helped.
July 31, 2012, 5:20 p.m. CST
Another method, "Hey guys, tell them I blew up with Bat. Catch you for beers at the mansion later"
by Domi'sInnerChild
He had no motivation to fake his death to a small group of friends with the autopilot line.
July 31, 2012, 5:51 p.m. CST
domi'sinnerchild... true, but I guess he figured the less who know, the better
by Mattman
And maybe he doesn't want people lying for him anymore... especially Gordon. Ya know?
July 31, 2012, 7:11 p.m. CST
The whole unnecessary death faking thing was just one tiny hole...
by Stifler's Mom
in a movie full of them. Just one huge gap of logic after another. This novelization should be printed on slices of Swiss cheese.
July 31, 2012, 7:26 p.m. CST
Why didn't we get a "Rises" talkback page?

Does Batman fake his own death and run off with Catwoman after she kills Bane? Is Miranda still Talia?
by Queefer Sutherland
Are there any differences from the stupid movie?
Aug. 1, 2012, 12:20 a.m. CST
Hey Mattman
by Phategod2
I'd love to present Catwoman with a pearl necklace ;)
Aug. 1, 2012, 12:44 a.m. CST
phategod2, no kiddin
by Mattman
Lotta symbolism in this movie ;)
Aug. 1, 2012, 12:47 a.m. CST
Catwoman blasting big strong Bane like he's nothing makes insecure dudes very uncomfortable
by Mattman
Which is why it's awesome.
Aug. 1, 2012, 1:01 a.m. CST
And with that, I take my leave of AICN once more
by Mattman
Maybe I'll check back around Hobbit times.
Aug. 1, 2012, 2:14 a.m. CST
Yeah, cuz it's exceptionally clear in the movie that Batman wants to fake his own death to his closest compatriots
by Al
Which is why he lies about the autopilot repeatedly for no reason at all. Smart script!
Aug. 1, 2012, 5:39 a.m. CST
No thanks. I'll just save up my allowance and wait for the next Scholastic book order in my Grade 6 class.

Banes voice=Darth Vader by way of Christopher Lloyd with a dash of Connery
by Samuel Fulmer
Kind of silly. Still loved the movie, but man, Bane's voice was just too much.
Aug. 1, 2012, 8:28 a.m. CST
tangcameo: That's great!
by Pat
I remember how excited I would get when that box full of Scholastic book orders would sit all day on the teacher's desk, only to be passed out at the very end. I couldn't concentrate on anything but that damn box. As for the movie, I thought the first hour built things up nicely, right through the fight in the sewers. After that it completely lost focus. More attention and detail should have been paid to Wayne and his exile. The idea of Wayne/Batman losing his touch is a good one in theory, but in execution it takes the audience right out of the story when he's not the center of the story. And if they wanted to make it a Gotham story/movie, that's fair, but give Gotham the attention it deserves. Intercutting empty NY, LA, and PB locales randomly is just plain lazy. Many of the points Harry pointed out in his review I really couldn't argue with.
Aug. 1, 2012, 9:01 a.m. CST
Don't forget the extra dig to Gordon
by Domi'sInnerChild
BTW, I'm Bruce Wayne not some random dude you've been trusting. Now I'm going to go kill myself so it'll be even extra sad. I know you have issueing lying which almost got Gotham detroyed and is why I'm killing myself right now (WINK WINK), but for christsakes TRY not to spill the beans on this for once when you unveil the statue for birds to poop on. Try not to drink and cheet on your wife. I'm out.
Aug. 1, 2012, 1:42 p.m. CST
Where was The Joker?
by Drew
Bane frees all of Gotham's prisoners, but no sign of The Joker...You would think Bane would want to free Gotham's most famous criminal.
Aug. 1, 2012, 6:30 p.m. CST
inflatablebombshelter is correct...
by dihay
the novelization is nothing but an exact prose version of the film script. No extra/more thorough info or surprises to be found.
Aug. 2, 2012, 1:34 a.m. CST
ace that they still do novelizations
by mrbong
i remember, however many years ago, reading the novelization of Lethal Weapon. the book contained a class scene where Riggs is involved in a shoot out at a school. i was confused as to why that didn't feature in the film, was delighted when it surfaced in the "director's cut / special edition" disc.

The Indianapolis Colts are promoting offensive tackle Tony Hills from the practice squad to the active roster.
To make room for Hills, the Colts waived receiver Kris Adams on Saturday.
At 6-foot-5 and 304 pounds, Hills gives the Colts depth in an area they have been hit hard by injuries. Guards Joe Reitz and Seth Olsen have been ruled out of Sunday's game against Green Bay because of knee injuries. Center Samson Satele is questionable with a knee injury. Earlier this week, the Colts also promoted center A.Q. Shipley from the practice squad.
Adams played in each of the Colts' first three games this season and caught two passes for 26 yards.
Linebacker Pat Angerer (foot) and corner backs Vontae Davis (ankle) and Justin King (groin) also have been ruled out.

Judiciary Committee Votes Out Kagan Favorably
July 20, 2010
The Senate Judiciary Committee met today to discuss and vote on the nomination of Elena Kagan as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. After a lengthy debate, the Senate Judiciary Committee vote was 13-6. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, joined all of the committee's Democrats in support of Kagan. Although the Republican minority has suggested the possibility of a filibuster of the nomination, that is considered unlikely to succeed and the Senate is expected to vote on Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court during the first week of August. HRC endorsed Solicitor General Kagan to be Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court after she completed her week of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Learn more about federal judicial nominations and follow our work on these crucial issues visit HRC's Equality in the Courts page.
