The dust is still settling after Apple's $1 billion trouncing of Samsung (and indirectly, Google) in a highly publicized patent battle, and the shake-up in the hyper-competitive smartphone market may let Microsoft claim a larger slice. On Wednesday, Sept. 5, Microsoft and Nokia will reportedly unveil a new flagship Windows handset, the Nokia Lumia 920, which, among other attractions, reportedly comes with an innovative wireless charger that could be a game changer. Here's what you should know:
What will the phone be like?
On paper, it's looking like a "bona fide superphone" designed to run Microsoft's new mobile OS, Windows Phone 8, says Sebastian Anthony at ExtremeTech. While its predecessor, the Lumia 900, was held back by Windows Phone 7's "antiquated hardware requirements," the 920 will feature a 4.5-inch display, 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, and a super-fast 1.5GHz dual-core processor. One caveat: "Sadly," it sports a mere 8-megapixel camera. "A smartphone camera that could compete with the iPhone 4S would go a long way toward legitimizing the WP8 platform," says Anthony.
How does the charger work?
Rather than plugging anything into the phone, you simply place the Lumia 920 on top of a mouse-sized charging pad to wirelessly give it juice. The process, called the "inductive method," will reportedly support the Qi wireless power standard, meaning it should be compatible with other wireless charging products, says Tom Warren at The Verge. And the new Windows Phone won't require a special inductive phone case to charge since wireless power capabilities are built into its hardware.
How important is this release?
"This is a make-or-break moment for Nokia," which has struggled against rivals like Samsung in recent years, Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at tech research firm Gartner, tells the New York Times. "Everything is resting on Windows Phone 8. If that doesn't work, it will cause an existential crisis for [Nokia]." Meanwhile, Microsoft needs the device to succeed if it hopes to overtake Apple's iOS as the company responsible for the number two operating system behind Android.
Will the wireless charger be a game changer?
The move shouldn't "come as much of a surprise," says Chris Davis at Slashgear. A Windows Phone 8 teaser (watch it here) already hinted that the Nokia range, going forward, "won't require a nest of wires in order to rejuice." Declaring war on chargers is just the next step. It's an "interesting idea," says Adrian Kingsley-Hughes at ZDNet. While a charger pad is certainly less messy than cumbersome wires, it has its downsides. For starters you'll have to devote space to the charging pad 24/7. It's questionable whether wireless charging is anything "more than a gimmick."

BEIRUT: At least 16 Syrian soldiers and 10 rebels were killed on Thursday in heavy clashes in the northeastern town of Ras al-Ain near the Turkish border, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) battalions stormed the majority Kurdish town after launching a two-pronged attack from across the border and the nearby Syrian village of Tal Half, the Britain-based watchdog said.
A local resident, Saad, told AFP by telephone that rebels overran the border post before dawn from the Turkish side and then launched attacks on security posts in Ras al-Ain.
Turkish media reported that five Turks were lightly wounded by stray bullets from Ras al-Ain, whose nearby border post is one of the last on the Syrian-Turkish border not under rebel control.
The Observatory, which relies on a countrywide network of activists, lawyers and medics in civilian and military hospitals, said that hundreds of rebels had converged on the town at dawn, while the army had sent up reinforcements.
Syrian state television reported that regime "troops killed dozens of terrorists who tried to attack Ras al-Ain" and the rebels then fled back across the border.
An activist from Ras al-Ain, who identified himself as Hevidar, said that clashes raged throughout the day as rebels fought for control of key security posts.
"There is still resistance from the air force intelligence and the military intelligence headquarters. The FSA is using loudspeakers to call on them to surrender and escape with their lives," Hevidar told AFP via Skype.
"We know there are army tanks about 25 kilometres (15 miles) from Ras al-Ain. The FSA is planning to deploy snipers to the entrance of the city and have told people living on the road to Hasakeh to evacuate their homes, for fear of shelling."
There were conflicting reports on whether fighters from the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, the Syrian branch of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) that is listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, fought alongside the rebels.
Saad, a local farmer, said that most of the town's residents had fled across the border to Turkey or to nearby villages because of the fighting.
Shell fragments earlier hit a hospital in the border town of Ceylanpinar which lies across from Ras al-Ain, causing panic among residents, and local schools were closed for the day, Turkish daily Hurriyet said.
About 200 Syrians fled Ras al-Ain into Turkey, where local authorities have warned people to avoid the border, according to Hurriyet, which added that Turkish armed vehicles and artillery were sent to Ceylanpinar.

How long a life will chemo give pug?by Dr. Stephanie Correa
Question: My 6-year-old pug was recently diagnosed with gastrointestinal lymphoma. I was told this type does not respond well to chemo. And we also learned it has spread to his liver. If we pursue chemo, how long might he "beat" the cancer for?
Answer: I would love to be able to give you an exact answer to your question, because I know that one of the most difficult parts of cancer treatment is not knowing what the future may hold. I will do my best to try to direct you in choosing therapy for your pug.
In general, gastrointestinal lymphoma in a canine patient is a difficult disease to treat, but actually this disease does respond to chemotherapy.
When we talk about response to treatment we are usually talking about remission. The word remission means the absence of signs or symptoms of disease. Lymphoma is a type of cancer responsive to treatment, so in the majority of patients the chemotherapy treatment does provide relief from the symptoms of cancer.
The patient may not gain a "complete remission" but a "partial remission" would mean that many of the symptoms that results from the cancer go away. The real question for your pug becomes how long will the remission last. This is dependent upon a variety of factors including stage of disease, substage of disease and immunophenotype of the cancer. There are tests that are performed like x-rays, ultrasounds and blood tests that determine the stage of lymphoma that is present in a patient.
I would recommend that these factors be further evaluated before you make a treatment decision regarding your dog. Unfortunately, lymphoma is not a cancer that is usually cured in the majority of our patients. It is treatable, and most patients feel better and have a good quality of life with treatment, but this cancer usually relapses at some point either during or after the completion of treatment.Stephanie Correa, DVM

Humanities in the MYP consists of both geography and history and is intended to be taught throughout the full sequence of the Middle Years Programme. Key concepts contained within the subjects are intended to provide the foundation for further study in many fields.
The study of geography is intended to lead students from an understanding of the immediate environment to an appreciation of spatial phenomena at regional, national and global levels. Through the use of a body of major geographical concepts relating to orientation, geographical
position, spatial representation, development, and environment, the student acquires the ability to analyse, classify, explain and record spatial phenomena with increasing sophistication at each level.
The study of history in the MYP demands a truly international approach. It addresses a variety of cultures and times, and stresses their increasing interaction in our modern world. History within an international curriculum stresses the ability to analyse evidence, to use historical sources in a critical way, to detect bias, and to argue empathetically. Beyond factual knowledge, students are encouraged to develop the capacity to think and write historically and to enjoy and value the past for its own sake as well as a means by which to understand and appreciate the present.

This year, we have a new challenge, a new consideration at the start of the school year. Like most moms, I have to get new shoes and sweatshirts, a new backpack and lunchbox, and purchase some items from a list of suggested school supplies. Since James has had diabetes since he started public school, I also have the requisite 504 Plan meeting during the summer and follow-up with school staff on the morning that school begins. None of that is new for us, and while the preparation needs to be done and can take some time, it is also a lot of fun, signaling (here in California) the change of the season better than any nonexistent shifts in the weather! Since James is entering third grade, we have a slightly new task ahead of us, a road we haven't travelled yet and that has taken some reflection.
When James began kindergarten, he had the unusual "fortune" of having a classmate with type 1 diabetes. The two of them were in the same class, and together the kids would have their blood sugar tested and receive their insulin before lunch. While James ended up leaving public school during that kindergarten year, the kids of his grade were wholly accustomed to and totally not bothered by witnessing diabetes management tasks. When he began public school again, it was with that same friend and all of their same classmates! There was no need to educate these kids. They'd grown up around type 1 diabetes, and it was normal and acceptable to them.
We ended up moving mid-year during second grade to a new school that hadn't had a child with type 1 for many, many years. James was confident, unconcerned even, with testing in front of the other kids, never having had any reason to think that his behavior was unusual or undesirable. Unfortunately, we hit some roadblocks early on with the new school administration. In the interim, James was tested in the office and didn't have the opportunity to show the other children that diabetes and its management is not a big deal to him.
We found out through the school nurse that some of the other kids had started talking about not wanting to play with James because he has diabetes. There were even some rumors about "catching" it. Of course, as a mom, it hurt to see these untruths making my child embarrassed for the first time about his condition. All of a sudden, he stopped testing in public and acted ashamed when I wanted to check his blood sugar at Cub Scouts®.
Because I am his mom and I feel like I really, truly "get" James, I could tell that if something were done about this misconception, he could still get past this incident without permanent harm to his sense of self. It's hard to explain, but James is very naturally confident and has always been a nonconformist. I could just tell that I needed to act fast to correct the misinformation and the resulting embarrassment. Lucky for us, the teacher intervened with the other children, explaining to them the reality of diabetes and letting them know not to worry about catching it, etc.
For James' own psyche, I immediately had him test in the classroom. I just knew that once the kids could actually see what he was doing, they would be so over it. Of course the first couple of times that he pricked his finger they were curious, but it quickly became utterly normal and wholly uninteresting. James didn't mind testing at Cub Scouts anymore. Crisis averted.
But here it is, start of a new school year. While many of these kids now know James and realize that diabetes cannot be caught, I'm thinking that educating them even more might not be a bad idea. So I sit here at my computer and gather information, ideas and strategies to bring to a third-grade classroom. I hope that my presentation can seem "cool," since my little guy is starting to care about his reputation with his buddies. Wish me luck!

Thank you so much for your great advice Tracey. You can find out more about her photography tours at the Follow Your Heart Tours website or on her Instagram account @fyhtours. You can also follow her on her travels through her blog.
Fireworks are a delight to young and old. They evoke a lot of emotion for people as they typically celebrate momentous occasions. According to Wikipedia, they have been around a very long time dating back to 7th century China. It's no wonder something this beloved has been documented since its origins.
Here are 5 easy steps to get you started on photographing fireworks.
1. Use a Tripod
This is one of the most important features. The key to photographing fireworks is long exposures which means, you will need to keep the camera still while releasing the shutter. Don't have a tripod? Improvise and put your camera on top of a stable, hard surface such as the top of your cooler or on your vehicle. Remember, you are trying to capture the trails and the movement of the fireworks not the movement of the camera.
2. Turn Your Flash Off
Fireworks are usually fired off meters away from the public to ensure safety. Your flash on your camera will not reach the fireworks. Most on camera flashes only have a reach of a few feet. Turn the Flash off.
3. Manual Mode
Photographing fireworks is a lot of experimentation and trial by error. In order to tweak and get the best results, you'll need to put your camera on Manual mode. You need to do the thinking for the camera. So where do you start with manual? Well, let's start with the lowest ISO you can, 100 is ideal. You want a low ISO to have a clean shot. Next your aperture. Generally, you can go from f8 to above and experiment with how wide you want your lens opening. Personally, I stick between F14 and F16. This seems to give me the results I am looking for. Next is shutter speed. This is the tricky part but also the most fun to experiment. I usually start on the "bulb" feature so I can control the trails and look. If you are not comfortable with the "bulb" setting, then try a setting of 30 seconds to begin. You can then adust shutter speed depending on your results and your tastes. It's ok to chimp and adjust on fireworks shots!
4. Manual Focus
Setting up your shot is important. Remember, you have it on a tripod, trying to change its position after every explosion, will not work. Let a few fireworks go off so you can get a sense of their location in the sky. Next, put your focus on manual mode and set your focus point to those few bursts. This works best as it is hard for most cameras to focus when it's dark. You'll need to tell your camera where to focus.
5. Experiment
These are general guidelines. It's ingredients to a recipe. You get to add or subtract how you see fit until you think it's perfect. Don't be afraid to use different lenses, change your shutter speed, try a double exposure. It can be fun and rewarding. Plus don't forget, they happen every year so if your images didn't turn out the way you had hoped, learn from your experimenting and try again for the next year.
Special thanks to members Rommel Tan and Saul Blumenthal for providing us with such beautiful fireworks images.
It's summer and that means it's time to travel! With vacations and adventures awaiting you this summer, it's important to document your travels. There are a few techniques you should keep in mind when packing your suitcase and your camera. We talked with Tracey Heppner of Follow Your Heart Photography Tours to get 5 key tips on successful travel photography.
1. Pack the Right Items
Pack only what you need and what you want to carry. Remember, you probably aren't going to have help during your travels carrying around your stuff, so less is more!
When I travel, I travel with one main body (Canon 5dm2), a second body (Canon 5d) that I use for backup (or if I'm in a place I don't want to keep changing lenses I put one on it), a long lens (70-200, 4.0) a wide (16-35, 2.8) and a 50mm, 1.2 mid range lens. Why do I choose those lenses? Well for one, I don't own a 28-70 anymore. So instead, I bring the wide for scenery and buildings, the long for distance. I use the long for when I like to stay back and document life and the 50mm for great portraits when I really to embrace the culture and its people.
I also pack more than enough memory cards and my Macbook pro with a pocket size hard drive. I have my files copied 3 times. I do it because I like to know that if my laptop got stolen, I still have my hard drive and cards. Or if my hard drive corrupts, I still have my cards and laptop. I cover my bases.
I carry this all in my Lowepro computrekker backpack. It's compact and it's in all there. My batteries and chargers fit wonderfully as well as my laptop. It's the perfect travel bag when I want to be compact. My backpack has traveled everywhere with me – throughout the USA and Canada, all over Italy, Turkey and Germany, and to many islands of the Philippines.
Good shoes are important too! The amount of walking you will do, you want to make sure you have great soles on your feet. Also, don't forget travel insurance. You always want to bring that, not only for yourself but to cover your gear if anything were to happen.
2. Research
Study where you are going and be sure to go off the beaten track . When I am on the ground wherever I am traveling, I like to have a good idea of what I want to see and do and leave the rest for wandering and going with the flow.
For example, my first visit to Venice, Italy, I knew I wanted to see San Marco square. I found it on a map, photographed it and then ventured through the back streets. I found more jewels and gems by going off the beaten track than I could have ever imagined.
Each place has its own iconic shots that I want to get. I make notes in a little note pad that I stuff in my bag so I won't forget. I love lists, so this works well for me. When you shoot these iconic places, try and get different angles and shoot it from a different point of view than what is normally "typical". You could come up with one of your favorite "postcards" from that city by looking at it in a new light.
I also research the areas and places to see if there are special events and cultural things that are going on that I will be able to photographed and really make my experience in these amazing places unforgettable.
3. Photograph Passionately
Shoot it like you're never going to shoot there again. I always have in my mind when I'm shooting in different places abroad, "If I don't ever make it back here again, I want to make sure I have all I can get from my shots." That sounds like a big order to fill, but if you really document and be journalistic in your approach, it pays off. Try telling a story through some of your photos so that when you get back home you have these images full of life and meaning behind them and you will LOVE them for years to come.
I did this when I was at Oktoberfest in Munich one year; I didn't know if I would ever be back here. So I put on my 50mm and my wide and away I went, getting in the faces of beer-drinking tourists and locals inside the big beer garden tents and yet capturing the massiveness of these with my wide. I haven't been back to Munich or Oktoberfest, yet, but I am really happy with how I captured my time there. I didn't miss anything.
4. Be Friendly
A smile goes a long way. Not only does it allow you to engage the locals and what's going on around you when you travel, it also allows you to ask permission to take their photo for a portrait.
I have experienced this time and time again. Once in Chinatown in Manila, Philippines I was walking down the street and saw this most adorable old Chinese man vegetable vendor. I knew there was a portrait to be had there. So I started up conversation and we chatted some, I looked at his beautiful vegetables. And then I popped the question: "Picture? You?" At first his smiled and said, "No, no!". I looked at him with a smile and said, "just one." And he obliged. One of my favorite photos.
Another time I was in Nagercoil, India, I saw these two beautiful Indian women. They had little English, I smiled lots and played with a baby that another girl had beside them and began shooting photos of the baby. Then I looked at them and said, "Picture?" And their first shot was no smiles. I then smiled at them and encouraged some smiles. Bingo. Another favorite street portrait of mine.
5. Write it Down
Trust me on this one – at the very least, write down the places you stayed at along the way and if you can, make some notes about your day. I have a little "travels" book I bring with me to write the date, place, accommodations, companions and highlights in. I have kept it since 2007 and it is fun to look back and remember.
Facebook and blogs have made documenting our travels and lives so much easier than even 10 years ago. I recommend photographers to blog about their travels. If you have Internet access while traveling, blog one photo a day and write a bit of what you did. Not only will everyone who follows it have something to look forward to, it will help you to remember what you did. You can always do more in-depth posts when you get home.
When I visited Germany & Italy for the first time, I did this – I blogged a little bit each day. My family and friends were able to follow along in my adventure while I was gone. It made it more "real" for them to see a photo or two and a story behind it.
My blog is filled with images and stories, both past and present, meaning there are still photos I haven't blogged about and written about from years ago that I decide to blog about years after.
When you write about your travels after the fact, you can relive your adventures…it's like you are there again! But warning – it will also awaken your wanderlust and you will probably in no time be planning your next trip!

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona -- Today's weather forecast calls for a 30% chance of rain and cool temperatures (only 60). At this moment, I can see some blue sky out my window and there hasn't been any rain in the area. So let's hope they get the game in.
Greg Couch says the Cubs have too many "issues" and camp so far has been a "circus". Any of you see that? Me, I think Greg Couch is the one with the "issues". I'm only posting that link so you see a fine example of what NOT to put in a major metropolitan newspaper.
Contrast that with Bruce Miles' nice profile of Jon Lieber; Lieber says he wants to finish his career with the Cubs, and he had some of his best times in his first go-around:
"There's no better place," he said. "I guess that's the best way to describe it. I was fortunate to have success over here, and I'd like to continue that while I'm over here."
Kosuke Fukudome may be having a shaky beginning as a Cub this spring, but people who know him say he'll be able to handle the pressure:
Iguchi's opinion on the outcome?
"He's a very mentally tough guy, so I don't think he'll have any trouble with the Cubs fans," he said.
Former White Sox closer Shingo Takatsu spent a month with Fukudome in Cubs camp this spring and doesn't think he will have a problem.
"He was one of the best players in Japan, and if he does what he does for a living, I don't think the fans or other things will affect him," Takatsu said.
That views of Iguchi and Takatsu seem a consensus. Fukudome is not only blessed physically, but those who know him say he has an inner confidence that shows in the way he carries himself.
That last sentence, I think, sums it up. We can't look at Dome as just another right fielder who has line-drive power, draws some walks and plays plus defense (though those are all good things). He also approaches the game differently than anyone we've ever seen before.
Finally, I knew we'd start seeing the 100-year stuff soon, and today it's from Dan Bickley of the Arizona Republic; Bickley used to write for one of the Chicago papers (can't remember which one right now) and he should know better. It's just another rehash of the stuff we all know already. Can we agree on something here? I'd like to propose we have a BCB moratorium on any further mentions of "100 years". This is a new season. The players can't do anything about the previous 99 years. All they can do is go out and try to win now. Let's look forward, not back.
Carlos Zambrano makes his fourth start of the spring today against the Angels' Nick Green. Don't expect to see a lot of the Angels regulars, because they also have a split-squad game against the Giants in Scottsdale.
Once again today, the game will be on multiple sources: WGN-TV (this time with Len & Bob!), WGN radio, KLAA, the Angels flagship, and the MLB.com Mediacenter.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

References: 1 Thessalonians 4A great disservice has been done to the cause of Christ by those who have tended to suggest that Christianity is all brightness and laughter. Such a perspective is neither true to the biblical record, nor to the human experience. The joy of which the Bible speaks is not found in isolation from the rigors of life. James encourages us to "count it all joy" when we face trials of various kinds. The studies contained in this album make it very clear that Christians grieve, too. They, also, seek to provide a biblical framework for dealing with affliction, trial, and disappointment. Underpinning it all is the doctrine of God's providence, which affords the believer the opportunity to rest in the awareness that our times are in His hands. This album may well prove to be a great help to friends and neighbors who are trying to make sense of some of life's storms.
The Hole in our Holiness is that we don't seem to care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it. And we all have our reasons too: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic. Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working! Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don't seem all that concerned about it. This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of

My favorite thing about spring is the sunshine.

Just the perfect amount of sunshine. It's like a little beacon of hope! You know summer is coming...and it makes me feel like a child again :) The flowers and cute clothes help too. Ha.

I have made two shopping trips to Forever 21 (it's an hour away) in the last few months. One after Christmas and one after my birthday. Meaning I went in January and then again in March. I had to laugh at the color scheme of each of my purchases. You can definitely feel the moods I was in...
January trip. Neutrals. Romantic and frilly.
March trip. Brights. Spring fever.

meet the girls behind the blog: Awkward Girls
Hey Guys! We're Lauren and Madison from Awkward Girls!
We're two best friends who love fashion so we started a blog together.
Today, Jessica asked us to answer a couple questions to help you get to know us a little better. Enjoy!
Q: Describe your style. What are you drawn to?
Our style is really eclectic. It's a mix of vintage and trendy, feminine and masculine, romantic and edgy. It's basically just whatever we feel like wearing that day. Based on our Pinterests, we're definitely drawn to lace, pastels, and tailored looks.
Q: Do you have a style icon?
We have many! Zoey Deschanel, Alexa Chung, Mary-Kate, Ashley, and Elizabeth Olsen, Audrey Hepburn, the list goes on! Anyone that dresses super chic, yet so timeless.
Q: Where do you get your style inspiration?
A: Being a part of the blogging community, we're definitely inspired by other bloggers. And Pinterest. Whenever we feel like we have nothing to wear, we just peruse Pinterest for a while for outfit ideas.
Q:What's your favorite current trend (chambray shirts, pattern mixing, etc.)?
A: We love the trend of bright colors lately! We can wear colored jeans and a colored top without feeling like a rainbow threw up on us.
What's the most awkward fashion moment you've ever had?
Awkward moment: When we meet each other on campus and we're wearing essentially the exact. same. thing.
Q: If you were forced to get rid of everything in your closet and start over, but could keep just one piece, what would it be?
A: This makes us feel like Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice. How could we ever choose!?! Just kidding, we're not THAT materialistic, we promise. Ummm probably our boots. A good, worn in pair of leather boots is hard to replace.
Q: You girls are definitely into fashion and you seem creative, are you into anything else (drawing, painting, photography, etc)?
A: Yes, definitely! You have to have a creative mind in order to write a blog, or else it wouldn't be fun! We both have been taking sewing classes and recently started making our own clothes. Madison also dabbles in drawing, and plays a mean game of tennis. Lauren has a background in art, graphic design, photography and used to dance (key word: used to). We also both love music! Lauren plays guitar and Maddie plays piano. Maybe we should start a band?
Q: What's the best thing about writing a blog with your best friend?
A: Probably the fact that our blog wouldn't exist unless we blogged together. Not only because there's always someone to take our pictures, but because we push each other to actually blog. If we were doing it on our own, we probably would've gotten lazy and quit a lonnng time ago. Also, we're so close that we're always on the same wavelength so we never disagree on anything blog related. Oh, and it's probably like ten times more fun to blog with your best friend!

I posted the following on my website and I thought it appropriate to re-post here...
There is a string of things fans of 29 other teams took for granted last season - stadiums at least half full of fans, actual head coaches running their teams, actual assistant coaches behind them, capable long-range shooters, leadership... Not us Nets fans.
We went through 82 games without any of it. Sound like a sob story to you? Well it's not. Just the truth. Go on, argue with what I just said...
... I'll give you a second...
***hold music***
Ok, we're back. Tonight, after having just watched the Nets/Pistons game (I now have clashes with work, preventing me from watching games live during the week but god bless premium International League Pass) I can finally say we've started to even out the playing field.
The stadium, the coach, the staff, the shooters, the leadership - we've got some semblance of all of it.
What does it produce? A comeback win after a 39% shooting in the first half. When was the last time we did that?
We rode the crowd in this one; we had an NBA coach who actually belongs on the sidelines show us the way; we had the lights-out, ice-in-the-veins shooting; we had the on-floor leadership.
I don't care that we beat what will clearly be another awful Pistons team this season. It's irrelevant who we beat in this one.
The point is, we won and won with a purpose. This was no blind luck, fluke victory. This was months in the making. THIS was the beginning of the road back.
Scattered night #1 thoughts:
- T-Mac is playing his last year in the NBA. He's done.
- Dwight may be the better athlete but Brook is by far the better player.
- Devin is Devin again.
- I will absolutely regret us trading Derrick Favors in a Melo deal (if it comes to that)

Many Americans believe that President Barack Obama is a Muslim who is also not an US citizen, and House Speaker John Boehner isn't about to tell them any different.
The Speaker told NBC's David Gregory Sunday that people have a right to their beliefs and it wasn't his job to say otherwise.
This video is from NBC's Meet the Press, broadcast Feb. 13, 2011.
Many Americans believe that President Barack Obama is a Muslim who is also not a US citizen, and House Speaker John Boehner isn't about to correct them.
The Speaker told NBC's David Gregory Sunday that people have a right to their beliefs and it wasn't his job to tell them what to think.
Last week, 40 percent of Republicans on a Fox News panel insisted that Obama was a Muslim.
"As the Speaker of the House, as the leader, do you not think it's your responsibility to stand up to that kind of ignorance?" Gregory asked.
"David, it's not my job to tell the American people what to think," Boehner replied. "Our job in Washington is to listen to the American people."
"Having said that, the state of Hawaii has said that he was born there — that's good enough for me. The president says he's a Christian — I accept him at his word," he added.
"But isn't that a little bit fast and loose?" Gregory pressed. "You are the leader in Congress and you're not standing up to obvious facts and saying these are facts and saying, 'If you don't believe that, it's nonsense.'"
"I just outlined the facts as I understand them. I believe that the president is a citizen. I believe the president is a Christian. I'll take him at his word," Boehner repeated.
"The American people have a right to think what they want to think. I can't — it's not my job to tell them," he said.
This video is from NBC's Meet the Press, broadcast Feb. 13, 2011.
So, the orange boner feels no compunction to worry himself with the significant percentage of his base who are bonkers. Go figure.
Poor crybaby Boehner is incapable of stepping up to the plate to denounce "bithers".
Right, let's go ahead and simply equate "belief" with "fact." I believe Boehner drinks orange Kool-aid, which is why he's orange. So it must be a fact!
Idiots telling idiots it's OK to be idiots. Just what the country needs.
Boehner says it's not his job to tell the American people what to think – except when he's lying about his party's failings and Obama's record.
Our orange overlord is quite the wimp.
Just another example of the rights continued ideologically driven attack on the facts As Daniel Moynihan once said, you are indeed entitled to your own opinion, but not your own set of facts. So no Speaker Boehner you are wrong, the American people do NOT have the right to think what they want when the facts are clear. Further, your statement is clearly meant to add fuel to the fire by showing your support not for the facts, but for the American people to live in denial of facts.
Shows he's smart…?
What? You figure he should go out and piss off HIS base by calling them 'retards' and 'assholes'?
You figure he should be more like Bill Maher — who when a politician distances himself from a political liability like Wright's Church that's proof he ain't a Christian?
Boehner is being a good loyal politician who knows it's a matter of money and votes; he doesn't give a fuck about the message so long as the message delivers votes and money.
Why would he take a bullet simply to help out Democrats?
Stop inhaling the viagra – ya friggin maroon!
Conservative Neocon statements are all propoganda, repeated lies and misinformation.
"not my job …" But he believes it's his job to use the "birthers" for his own purposes.
Why does David Gregory need Boehner to denounce the birthers? Obama could just show his original long form birth certificate.
"Boehner replied. "Our job in Washington is to listen to the American people."
So WHEN are you going to START doing that fucking job, Orange Aid?!
There is no such thing.
Obama was born in Hawaii, end of story.
Rrriiigghhtt…but if there's a group of voters who believe that the Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats are pushing through the Corporate agenda to disenfranchise the middle and lower classes–you know, telling the truth about who you are as an elitist, Boehner–you'll be quick to deny that and tell us what to think, eh?
John Boehner says he doesn't rape oompaloompas, I'll take him at his word, what else could I do? It's not my job to rescue those poor creatures that my children believe he has tied up in the rape rooms in his cellar.
No matter what anyone shows the birthers they will claim it is phony. The whole long form, original cert, is all bullshit.
The state of Hawaii says he was born there,end of story for sane people.
Boehner. Pathetic. But I repeat myself.
Why should anyone have concern regarding birthers? Who cares? Move on. That is not a serious or major voting block but the Left continually obsesses over them.
No, you just sit there and continue to play dumb. Pull the string on his back……"We're gonna listen to the American people"…it cuts out before he says"….and continue to ignore them"
He has shown his birth certificate, it's just like mine, except his is from Hawaii and mine is from New Orleans. Bur they look exactly the same, 'cause they are. John Boner doesn't want an informed electorate, he loves this Obama is a Muzleem bullshit and will keep it going strong up to the election.
David, my job is to stay drunk, slur my words on TV, play golf and pretend to be a leader of teabaggers I can't control. Please take my word. Is there a bar in here?
fear and hate stem from one plant, ignorance. nurture ignorance and you'll guarantee things stay the same. limit access to education: cut head start programs, pell grants, increase tuition at state colleges and soon you'll have voters ignorant enough to believe anything you tell 'em. "we're not here to tell the American People anything, we're here to listen?" please.
one out of three republicans are birthers and 40% of a panel of republicans believe Obama to be a Muslim. Facts mean nothing to these people. Truth means nothing to these people. Taxes. they don't want to pay them. they fear and hate the government, because they're ignorant or refuse to acknowledge the good things their government does for it's citizens.
government isn't the problem. a politician defending the ignorance of his constituents is the problem.
So what exactly is your job BONER? Is it to obstruct everything the WH puts forth? Is it to fuck all female lobbyists? And make sure the MSM doesn't talk about it. Is it to drive this country into a full blown depression?
What exactly is your job? All I've se you do as you have slithered up the ladder is divide this country into separate and not equal cauldrons of hate. Is that your purpose?
Silly me, I thought it was for the betterment of this country.
It goes without saying that Boner's job is to screw things up, make the people's life as difficult as possible and make sure that the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich is completed without a glitch.
So his job is not to tell what the American people to think? Then why does he do that every time he opens his C2H5OH fumed mouth?
This "take him at his word" business (didn't Mitch McConnell trot that one out too a while back?) indicates a kind of mock credence, the equivalent of saying "Well, if he SAYS so…" That's deliberate, and it just plain sucks.
Apparently, there isn't a job that exists on this Earth that's Boner's! He never does anything, other than drink Merlot, cry his tear ducts out, and make a damned fool of himself on camera!
Oddly, look again at this video. Unless my monitor is going haywire, Boner looks pretty pink to me. What's happening?
Boner comes from my state…"The Buckeye," ….and he has been duly representing the stupid and ignorant for many years He is fluent in Yahoo.
Hey Boner, you are just about to be fired:
Et Tu, Pence? John Boehner Sees the Tea Partiers' Long Knives Come Out as a National Enquirer Affair Story
This guy is a creep…
It's his job to get off early in time for happy hour, though.
He stopped eating carrots?
It is always the responsibility of any political representative to inform the public of the truth so they can make sound decisions based upon it. To leave the public trapped in ignorance by false beliefs is the sign of a con man, not a political representative.
did you read the story? THE TEABAGGERS are obsessing, Sparky, NOT the Left jeezuz keerist
Actively deceiving the American People should be a crime – change the constitution, so bOenher and his compadres can be run out of office or placed up against the wall for some real hardline vilification! Everyday these scum are becoming more obvious in their rottedness – it's getting to be boring to hear the same twaddle being dribbled forth, like a scratched old 78, that nobody wants hear anymore!
"it's not my job…"
Choice words for a loser. Boehner's job should be as a leader, instead he says "hands off my stuff man, just feed my campaign kitty."
But as a national political leader his job is (whether the republicans or democrats believe so) to ensure a properly educated electorate!
He sure would be yelling loudly if anyone were to suggest mr. Cantor was not eligible to serve in congress or were to out their modern fascist views…
I guess he must be talking about his REAL job – ensuring the destruction of the middle class while redistributing the wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 2% and completing the corporate take over of America…
OK Boner (sp?) would you be so good as to tell us what your job IS?
Feed your dog that cheap brand of dog food with too much orange dye and this is what you get stinking things up.
You forgot the tacky pink collar!
If a lie is being told and you know it's a lie and you do nothing to correct the lie you are taking part in a lie.
If Boehner is in disagreement with the people who are telling lies then where are his balls to correct the lie?
Boehner should not be in office because he admitted he will listen to lies and let the lies coninue. He admitted he will accept the lies under the guise of listening to the people.
Is it in the country's best interest to have these people believe that the president is not qualified to be in office? Is Bonehead not supposed to do what's in the country's best interest? The man's brains (?) are fried.
That's how the Third Reich made it all happen.
"piss off HIS base"
HIS base is the right wing lunatic fringe. These people will kiss the ass of any psychopath who says what they like. He doesn't need to worry about them. What he needs to worry about is pissing off the rest of us. He can't get diddly-squat done if he only makes his base happy.
And as you can see from the latest Republican procedural FAILURES, this guy is NOT on the ball. He is TOO BUSY pandering to his base and he is not paying enough attention to the nuts and bolts of his job. But that's okay it's probably better that he is incompetent.
Sounds like no one knows for sure. I don't even think Obama is human
Obama has his records sealed so tight that is all we can do, is take him at his word. It is a crime to look at his records
Why hasn't O'Bumbler produced his own damn documentation? He needed it at some point.
The whole things is the dumb ass lost his birth certificate and doesn't want to admit it. That should have been a first clue that O'Bumbler was going to make for a shitty leader. But Yes We Canners were too damn starry-eyed to notice.
And I suppose that if the left wing wanted to post that he was unqualified because his wife was turning tricks for the Koch Brothers he would also say it is not his place to correct them. They are free to hold their beliefs.
As I recall there was plenty on the left that thought Bush should come forth with information about his Cocaine issues. There were documents he could release but he chose to thumb his nose at them. Can these fools even imagine what kind of kaos would occur if we actually found that President Obama was born somewhere else? Think of the idiot Republicans who who caused a near disaster when they voted for one day after missing being sworn in. It would not be good for the US it would be a disaster (it is also a stupid tinfoil hat conspiracy), but every Federal Law in the last two years (the ones you don't like and the ones you do) would be undone. Your taxes would go up. The continuing resolution would be unwound and our credit would fail. Credit would seize and the bond markets would fail. No military would be paid and the expansions of military benefits would be unwound. Most likely because of the stess on the financial markets we could not possibly fund the wars (that's fine) so the military would go unpaid and slashed.
Not his job to correct the stupidity and deliberate misinformation coming to and from his base.
He ain't orange, he's yella' if he can't stand up and speak the truth without fear of antagonizing fringe elements.
it's not my job to tell the American people what to think
No, that would be Limbaugh's, Beck's, etc. job.
Two things here.
1. I don't believe that the word "many" is anywhere approaching accurate. How many is "many"? 40 percent of Republicans on a Fox News panel? What does that mean? What? Was it 5 people? At most? What the hell is a "Fox News panel" anyway and how is it that anyone cares what they think? Are they even Americans?
2. Speaker John Boehner didn't get elected by educating his constituents. The dumber and more ignorant the better for him. If they were any more intelligent they would realize he can't even pronounce his name correctly.
Someone should report the Orange Man agrees with the Birthers, and continue reporting that he agrees with them. You know, just like Fox News would do. Use phrases like "un-named sources inside the Tea Party say.." Make it look like Orangey IS a birther. Make him deny it.
I am no birther, but don't they get the same free speech protections that we all have? And if so, why does Boehner have to defend something he is not a part of from Gregory?
It's kind of like asking Obama to defend truthers.Stupid question David G.
Boehner says he's not bonking Lisbeth Lyons. I'll take him at his word.
He's not lining his pockets with illegal under the table "campaign contributions" and he's not lying when he says he's concerned about deficits, and he's surely telling the truth about the need to keep hundreds of overseas military bases to keep Americans safe from invasion. There's no way he could be fabricating his belief that the drug war is about protecting children from illegal drugs and not a cash cow to keep cops and prison guards voting Republican, nor is it a means to persecute poor people who happen to be minorities, or to protect the massive profits of the pharmaceutical and alcohol companies. I'll take him at his word.
You are guilty of the crime of which you accuse others. In this debate, on this topic, there are no FACTS. You cite your opinion as if it were a FACT. I personally don't give a damn where the President's mom was when he fell from her vagina, but, if she was in the states, why has this controversy raged for so many years? Why is it so hard to locate is original, long form certificate?
It's two thouand freakin' eleven! can't we just pass an amendment to change the qualifications? I'd like to be able to vote for the best candidate, regardless of where their mother was whenshe gave birth.
not my job to tell the American people what to think…our job in washington is to listen to the American people
the hill people can not do that correctly… listen to the people ….what star did you far from
He might be from Remulak, this is true.
Like most Americans, I believe Boner is a practicing alcoholic and a suntanning bed abuser, who is subject to uncontrolled sobbing when he thinks of himself, while simultaneously ignoring the plight of millions of his "fellow" Americans. After all his time in Congress, his only noticeable talent is taking money from corporate executives and playing golf, and he has displayed little ability to set a legislative agenda or show any true concern for the less fortunate of our country. I believe he is a fake, and every day his "power" is diminished. In 2012 he will be sent home to spend more time f*cking his wife, instead of the country. Of course, that will make him cry, but not as badly as when he hands the Speaker's gavel back to Nancy Pelosi.
What a disgusting performance. The orange boner tries to educate us on other topics all the time.
The guy's a spineless, mama's boy. Now here's a kleenex and don't get those pants dirty before supper!
How odd is that. I always thought that part of any politicians purpose is to take a view and then try to persuade
people to agree with him. That is telling people what to think by force of argument.
Exactly what does he think his job is?
It is not hard. You can go to Hawaii yourself and view it for a small fee.
"David, it's not my job to tell the American people what to think," Boehner replied. "Our job in Washington is to listen to the American people."
What bullshit. The GOP are actively brainwashing their constituents. They don't listen to the people, they propagandize, and when a little successful then cite their propaganda as the "truth". Their direction comes from the corporate lobbyists, and their fundamentalist Christian ideology that is complementary (meaning similar) of the Taliban. Fuck Boehner and the self serving lying horses he rode in on.
This is a complete Straw Man argument. The birthers aren't even sincere. They latched onto this distraction because they can't just come right out and shriek, "Nigger!" like one of the Pod People from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
And you know who wasn't born in the States:
And carbo's right: you can have your own opinion, but it must be based on common facts.
Birthers are children wondering where the sun goes at night.
Of course this sneaky orange bastard has to qualify his language. Note the use of "I **believe** the President is a Christian. I'll take him at his word," as opposed to the much more convincing, "I know he's a Christian, and it's just incorrect to continue to claim otherwise after all this time."
He's subtly encouraging those who are stupid enough to keep accusing Obama of being a Muslim socialist communist Marxist anarchist, because it plays right into the GOP's hands of keeping the millions of absolute fucking morons in this country angry and confused — and voting Republican.
the "bawling Buckeye" is wouldn't comment on the latest GOPer to resign because he is next on the "affair chopping block"
what a douche, it is his job to tell the wack jobs in his party to stop spreading these insidious lies. It makes the party look ignorant and racist. this is great for the Dems.
So John, give up the booze, give up the looby whores, and go back home never to be heard of again.
An American
It is his job to ptrotect the constitution from enemies FOREIGN & domestic. Show me the birth certificate – confirm his eligability – recall Boehner!
Why did you post the link about McCain? Are you a racist?
Interesting, non biased legal article. I didn't know that the same controversy surrounded Chester Arthur as well.
Yes, it is the job of Congress to ignore facts when dealing with the public, they are to listen to the clearly deranged public and give them what they want! Even if they want insane shit, it's not Boner's job to apply logic or reason or facts or reality, his job is just to legislate the insanity.
Oh, and letting these morons stay deluded, that's what gets the likes of Boner re-elected over and over. Now you know.. Boner relies on massive ignorance for his paycheck, and refuses to enlighten anyone with facts, but will be content to keep taking their money.
Boner is the poster child for what's wrong not only in our country, but in our world.
You're right.. we hire politicians to do nothing but ensure they get elected next cycle.. we don't actually want politicians who deal with reality and fix problems… /eyeroll
"if she was in the states, why has this controversy raged for so many years?"
Well, this article explains why. The DELUDED dip-shits out there aren't being corrected.. and in fact, they are being ENCOURAGED to remain deluded because that helps the party of "NO" (no brains, no ideas, no desire to govern) keep getting paychecks for doing nothing but helping the top 2% build a new world order where only they have decent lives and the rest of us become less than worthless to them.
And you don't open up the Presidency of the United States to non-citizens because it allows for all kinds of ways for foreign interests to try and sabotage our nation. What, you think a Russian should be able to run for President of the United States? Maybe the Pope or someone from the Taliban?
It comes up, it goes down.. tide comes in, tide goes out.. no one can explain it!
That's all you need to know. Most children gain a sense of Object Permanence (that objects don't cease to exist just because you don't see them) by the age of 2.. so what does that tell you about these clowns?
You're right, as a people, as a society, we shouldn't care that 30% of our nation is clinically deluded. We shouldn't worry about the politicians that use these delusions to further enrich the top 2% while keeping the masses in a quagmire of pointless issues and major media outlets parrot the delusion to lend it more validity.
Why do you support abusing the mentally ill? And why do you think the rest of us should ignore those abuses?
I do believe that could be considered a violation of the public trust. Being involved in lying is an ethical breech, and when in office it is an impeachable offense.
No wonder "impeachment is off the table" with these guys. 2/3s of Congress would be tossed out if we ever held anyone accountable.
He did produce the documentation. The same document you or I would get if we requested it from our birth State. But the raving lunatics won't accept it or believe what they see. In other words, they ignore facts and reality because they have a deep rooted delusion they won't get go of.
The question was/is, why aren't you telling people they are misinformed when the subject comes up? And his answer was (paraphrased) "because I get rich by keeping people stupid and delusional". It has NOTHING to do with free speech; that you're ignorant enough to bring that up implies you're one of those deluded folks that are bringing this country into the shitter.
Just can't stand a black guy in WH can you bigot? You're as crazy and deluded as creationists are.
provide links to facts for this assertion.
I sometimes make a mistake and call myself a communist, but George Stepenuffleupagus will correct me and remind me that I'm a free market libertarian.
It's not my job to say so and people can belive what they want but i believe that House Speaker John Boehmer likes the boys.
To you he probably isn't, since you're apparently a racist redneck moron. Go drink some more mountain dew — Larry the Cable Guy is on tv, hurry!
Yeah…that'll show us. Post a WorldNetDaily link, because they're so objective and credible. Go away, clown.
Why has glen beck not yet denied the awful reports about his activities in 1990? Any reasonable person, when facing such accusations would immediately and firmly deny them. But beck's only reaction has been to engage legal counsel and try to silence honest discussion. Wnen will glen finally come clean and confirm or firmly and honestly deny these heinous accusations?
>>I am no birther, but don't they get the same free speech protections that we all have?
Free speech protections does not mean one can say whatever they want and not be held accountable or corrected when they are wrong.
Sounds like an inability to think critically. Belief is not the same as fact. But of course he can't come out and say that; his party would disappear if they had to pay attention to facts. What a creep.
The truth has a liberal bias.
No, because I'm making a point.
NO ONE ON THE LEFT FOR A MOMENT challenged John McCain's legitimacy. It's Republicans who want to change the Constitution to allow Arnold to run for President. It's Conservatives that launched into a frenzy about Obama's qualifications when he's the most qualified contender that has come on the scene in years. It is the Conservatives who shit spicy ground-beef-flavored-filling whenever issues of immigration come up–"finish the dang fence, consarnit!"
Being a politician is being a public servant. Barack spent his entire adult life serving the public. McCain, on the other hand, turned on himself and spent his entire post-military service finding ways to stuff hundred-dollar bills into his pockets, and now, perhaps, his cheeks as he must have run out of room in the cash vaults in his six luxurious homes.
If one of McCain's parents had been Panamanian, do you think Orly Taitz would be riding him as hard as she's riding our President even though McCain would legitimately not be a citizen for being born out of the states with only one native parent?
Yeah, exactly.
As for me being a racist, an excellent comedian once said, "Being a racist is stupid. There are too many good reasons to hate people on an individual basis."
You can have this for being snarky:
What's 24% out of 150,000,000?
(That number's about half of the American population which makes up the whole of the electorate.)
Minor enough for you?
That would take leadership. Forget it.
Why would he stand up to ignorance when his entire voting base is misinformed and ignorant? They want them ignorant and the repuke base is content with their heads up their asses.
Limpballs and Beck will thell them what to think. But then again, it is difficult to think if one lacks a live brain cell.
40 % of Republicans actually beleive that? Thay just can't stop proving to me how dumb and ignorant these people are. A Muslim would not walk into a church and worship Jesus Christ, To Muslem's these people are infidels

How to implement BYOD with Wi-Fi / WIPS assist
Wi-Fi has become the de facto access medium for smart mobile devices in enterprise networks. Sitting at the edge of the network, Wi-Fi can assist greatly in implementing secure and disciplined BYOD in these networks.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to BYOD management in the enterprise. However, from my experiences working with Wi-Fi and WIPS deployments, I have seen certain features that are particularly useful for organizations in implementing BYOD. This blog post explores some of these in greater detail. |
1) Monitor new devices entering Wi-Fi
Monitoring for new smart devices entering the network is a first and important step in the implementation of disciplined BYOD. Wireless clients connecting to Wi-Fi are fingerprinted using packet level and protocol level characteristics to identify smart mobile devices.
WPA2 alone is not sufficient to stop personal devices from entering the protected Wi-Fi network.
2) Enforce pre-configured policies on new devices entering Wi-Fi
Once a new smart mobile device is detected in the Wi-Fi network, different types of pre-configured policies can be automatically implemented. For example, one policy would be to block or limit access to new smart devices pending authorization. The Wi-Fi/WIPS solution can facilitate such policy enforcement by blocking new devices from accessing the secure network or provide them only limited access (e.g., access to only Guest SSID) until they are approved by IT administrator. |
3) Automated approval/onboarding of new devices on secure Wi-Fi
Using mobile apps provided by Wi-Fi/WIPS vendor: With the rising volume of new devices entering the network, manual approval and inventory may prove to be cumbersome. Using onboarding apps provided by the Wi-Fi/WIPS vendor, this process can be automated. New smart mobile devices are redirected to a portal and upon installation of the onboarding app, devices are allowed to enter the protected Wi-Fi. The onboarding app facilitates automated inventory and tracking for smart devices after they are admitted into the secure network. This app can also automatically configure secure WPA2 settings on the device without administrator intervention.
Using third party MDM agents: Many organizations deploy specialized MDM (Mobile Device Management) systems to manage smart mobile devices accessing corporate assets. Several MDM systems choices are available in the market. So, BYOD onboarding workflow in a Wi-Fi solution that facilitates device onboarding with third party MDM agents is useful. With this workflow, new devices attempting to connect the network without hosting the MDM agent prescribed by IT are detected and redirected to install the MDM agent. Upon installing the MDM agent, they are allowed to enter the protected Wi-Fi. A point to note here is that MDM alone does not complete the BYOD story, combination of MDM and Wi-Fi gatekeeping is what is required. This is because MDM can control only managed devices, but Wi-Fi/WIPS gatekeeping detects unmanaged devices and helps bring them under MDM control. Airtight Wi-Fi provides API to implement this workflow using third party MDM agents.
4) Wireless security for the admitted devices
Once admitted into the network, the mobile devices need to be afforded strong protection from vulnerable wireless connections and wireless attacks including rogue APs, tethering, personal hotspots, Wi-Phishing, client connections to neighborhood APs, ad hoc connections, etc. With BYOD, the sheer volume of wireless endpoints seen in the wireless environment is expected to triple or quadruple over next 2-3 years. As a result, fully automated strong WIPS, free from false alarms and not requiring excessive configuration and signature maintenance is needed to be the part of the Wi-Fi solution in order to implement truly secure BYOD. |
As we can see, enterprises can take advantage of many Wi-Fi and WIPS features to implement secure and disciplined BYOD in their networks. These features range from identifying new smart devices entering the network to assist in smooth onboarding of the new devices to securing the new devices once they are admitted into the secure Wi-Fi networks. So don't get stressed by BYOD, there are Wi-Fi and WIPS to assist you.

A Galveston County Judge is under arrest and charged with several felonies. Judge Christopher Dupuy is charged with two counts of felony obstruction or retaliation, four counts of abuse of official capacity and two counts of official oppression. Dupuy is accused of retaliating and ruling against attorneys he didn't like including his ex-wife's custody lawyer Lori Laird. "He did so many retaliatory things against me. He filed state bar complaints against me," says Laird. Laird, Dupuy and his ex-wife were actually about to take part in a custody hearing when Dupuy was arrested there at the Galveston County Courthouse. "We were having an emergency hearing because we had a credible source tell us Dupuy was planning (to hurt) his ex-wife and take his kids out of the country. He was taken off to be indicted even before the hearing began. Texas Rangers took him away," explains Laird.
Several hours before the indictments and Dupuy's arrest a group of attorneys got together and filed a civil petition of removal to have Dupuy stripped of his title and taken off the bench. "Judge Dupuy was a bad and unethical attorney long before he was a judge and didn't change after he was elected. He's showing favoritism in his court, particularly with women he was seeing or dating and handing down terrible orders against the other side. He has fined or jailed attorneys who have crossed him," explains attorney Greg Hughes who helped file the petition.
"He accused me of being an internet persona that I am not. He ordered me to 220 days in jail in addition to paying a bunch of fines. I feel like I woke up in Soviet Russia, not the United States because my civil rights were violated in every possible way," adds Laird.
One attorney told us a group actually gathered to watch Dupuy being hauled away to jail and said the group was "elated" that justice was finally being served. Dupuy has been a judge for two years. "I think he should be in jail for a long time. He's jailed other people who shouldn't have been," says Hughes.D
Dupuy's lawyer wouldn't comment on the charges. George Parnham would only say "We are awaiting our day in court".

Dodgers fans asked to wear D-backs gear at Chase Field
By Haboob Blog

If you're headed to a game at Chase Field this season, feel free to wear your favorite team's merchandise. Well, unless you're sitting in a certain section.
According to Deadspin.com, a group of Los Angeles Dodgers fans were taking in Friday's action from the Batter's Box Suite behind home plate, and despite the lofty price tag ($3,200-$3,500 rental fee) were told by D-backs managing general partner Ken Kendrick that they needed to change their clothing.
The team later provided its reasoning in an email to Deadspin:
Due to the high visibility of the home plate box, we ask opposing team's fans when they purchase those seats to refrain from wearing that team's colors. During last night's game, when Ken Kendrick noticed the fans there, he offered them another suite if they preferred to remain in their Dodger gear. When they chose to stay, he bought them all D-backs gear and a round of drinks and requested that they abide by our policy and they obliged.
So, while the fans weren't treated to a Dodgers' victory, it sounds like they made out just fine. Free gear, free drinks and a nice place on the Haboob blog.

In ending what turned out to be by far the offseason's longest saga, veteran lefty Andy Pettitte is set to officially announce his retirement from baseball at a Friday press conference. The press conference is scheduled for 10:30am EST.
The news was first broken by Michael Kay, and soon thereafter it was confirmed by Ken Rosenthal and Jon Heyman. Pettitte has informed the Yankees of his decision, and he's currently en route to New York in advance of his announcement.
All winter, there were questions of whether or not Pettitte would return for a 17th season. He was only ever a possibility for the Yankees, and recently there had been rumblings that he was keeping himself in playing shape, causing people to believe he was preparing for a comeback. In the end, though, he's opted to retire, and while he'll give his official reasons on Friday, one figures he wants to spend more time with his family, and feels like he's already given a lot to the game.
For the 38-year-old Pettitte, by hanging up his spikes, he's reportedly leaving a $12 million, one-year contract on the table. His career numbers are impressive - 479 starts, 3055.1 innings, a 3.88 ERA, and a 240-138 record. He also managed to throw an additional 263 innings in the playoffs, with a 3.83 ERA and an all-time-best 19 wins. He ranks 55th all-time in wins and 48th all-time in strikeouts, and while his stats aren't eye-popping, he'll be remembered for his durability, and for the role he played with five different World Series champion Yankees teams. Pettitte started 13 games in the World Series in all, making him one of the most experienced postseason pitchers in baseball history.
And for the Yankees, they now move ahead with the same questions in the starting rotation as they've been fearing all along. Behind CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes will be the unpredictable A.J. Burnett, and behind him will be a four-way competition for two slots between Ivan Nova, Sergio Mitre, Bartolo Colon, and Freddy Garcia. Colon and Garcia would've been appealing once, but age has taken a toll on each of their arms, to the point where both recently wound up signing minor league contracts. The Yankees could end up with a pair of dependable arms out of this group, but it isn't hard to imagine the team becoming active in the trade market very early in the season.

Dear Engineers,
Late Friday you received a Green Sheet memo from Leslie Norgren, Director of Asset Management. Let me set the record straight, I was never given the opportunity to review this "Green Sheet" before it was sent to you and do not approve or agree with the message in the first paragraph. In fact, it is an incorrect implication of any message I have ever given to our membership. This Green Sheet published Friday was a surprise to me as it was to all of you not to mention I have met with the Director twice last week and there was no mention of a Green Sheet to be sent out. As you know, by contract, I as president, have a right and obligation to review these communications before they are sent to you from our employer. Had this contract provision been followed, the first paragraph would have not been included in the communication to you. It is not the message this Local under my leadership has ever given nor is it the right of anyone to interpret what I have said at our meetings or in writing or to put words in my mouth. While it's not clear to me what or who is at the bottom of this inaccurate accounting of my message, I assure you, the members, that I will pursue the root of this and also meet with CPS to prevent messages from being delivered without my review of them as called for in our contract.
The notion that Engineers of Local 143 are not team players is ludicrous at best. Since 1902 to present (112 years) Local 143 Engineer's philosophy has always been "Dedicated to the Safety and Comfort of the School Children of the Chicago Public Schools". This past winter IS proof positive of this. We were the only employees in the buildings on the most severe of all those days and we did it with 150 less engineers saving CPS well over $13 million since 2012.
Once again I commit to you that I will meet with the CPS and insure that before messages go out, I will be provided an opportunity to review them and prevent further implications and quotations that do not correctly reflect what my message is.
On behalf of the members of Local 143 and Local 143B we extend our sincere gratitude to all who have served our great country. We are forever grateful for your service to ensure our freedoms. A special remembrance today for all of our members, active, retired or deceased for their service.
Thank You!
The Officers and members of Local 143-143B
Some of the Aramark representatives are telling principals that the day to day management of custodians can be delegated to the engineer. This is NOT a true statement and must be reported immediately to Dennis Temple at CPS Operations. Aramark is fully responsible for the custodial operations in their entirety and you as an engineer can not be assigned to manage the custodians or perform custodial duties. The Aramark Corporation is being paid to fully manage, supervise and perform all custodial operations at your school. You are to follow your contract and perform maintenance as per the MESA and assignments from your Facility Manager.
Please inform me if you are being directed to direct, supervise or perform custodial operations.
William E. Iacullo, President
