Sex-selection abortion ban set to get vote in House of Rep.
WASHINGTON (BP) -- The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a proposal to prohibit abortions based on a baby's sex.
House members were expected to vote on the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act, H.R. 3541, either Wednesday night (May 30) or Thursday. Passage will require a two-thirds majority because the House will consider the measure under "suspension of the rules."
The Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) urged its constituents in a May 29 email alert to ask their representatives to support the ban.
In the email, ERLC President Richard Land said the proposal constitutes "basic civil rights protection for the unborn."
"Astonishingly, no such federal ban on sex-selection abortion exists -- even as studies show these types of abortions are occurring here in the United States," Land said.
"It is high time that Congress enacts this common-sense ban."
While China and, to a lesser extent, India have become known in recent decades for the practice of sex-selection abortion by parents in an attempt to have a male baby after the birth of a girl, there is evidence of such a pattern among some immigrant communities in North America.
A March 2008 study published in the journal of the National Academy of Sciences found American-born children of Chinese, Korean and Asian-Indian parents were more likely than those of white parents to be boys if the first children in the families were girls, according to ABC News. The third child in such communities was 50 percent more likely to be a boy if the first two children were girls.

Many in Sweden are trying to rid the society of gender-specific language and actions, even getting rid of toy cars in schools and dumping references to "his" and "her," says columnist Mary Kassian. Biblically, she says, it's a horrible idea.

Prosecutors are dropping 12 DUI cases connected with a DUI supervisor fired from the Tampa Police Department.
As many as 40 more are now under review.
It all started falling apart in January, when Sgt. Ray Fernandez pulled over Phil Campbell, the attorney for Todd "MJ" Schnitt.
A special prosecutor -- assigned by the governor -- found Fernandez had staked out Malio's for hours. While inside, employees for Bubba's law firm were getting Campbell drunk.
The morning after his arrest, Campbell called it bogus and a set up. Investigators agreed. Campbell's DUI was dropped, but it was only the first.
"Well, they were happy obviously," said Tampa defense attorney Tim Taylor. He represents one of a dozen defendants whose DUI cases are also being dropped.
"In this situation, where you have someone who's lied and potentially destroyed evidence in a case, that goes beyond what the state attorney's office can rehabilitate. Their credibility is shot, and they can't use that witness testimony to go forward on these cases," Taylor said.
The state attorney dropped the cases because Fernandez was the officer who pulled over the defendants. He was also the chief witness in each case. With his credibility in question, prosecutors say he can't be trusted on the witness stand.
In all, about 40 cases are under review.
"I am surprised. I think it's irresponsible. I don't think there is any reason to drop the charges against those people," said Fernandez's attorney Chip Purcell.
Purcell says his client didn't lie, and is now fighting to get his job back. He says Fernandez plans to file a grievance over his dismissal.
"All you get from the chief is this kind of nebulous 'well, I didn't know and he didn't tell me.' No. No. No. No. No. Tell me what you think he said. Tell me what you think is wrong, and tell me who else was in the room when he made that statement. Who's going to back you up on that because those statements were not made," Purcell said.
The last time Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor talked directly about this case was 12 days ago, when she fired Sgt. Fernandez. At that time, she said he lost his impartiality and professionalism. Wednesday, she released this written statement.
"So often, a DUI arrest serves as a wake-up call to an impaired driver. Any offender who is handcuffed, transported in the backseat of a police car, fingerprinted, locked in a jail cell, and have their mug shot posted on the web will likely feel the consequences of their actions. This may be enough to ensure they never get behind the wheel impaired again."
The FBI and the Florida Bar are also investigating.

DOHA, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Defending champion China has outgun Chinese Taipei
in straight sets, setting up a final clash against Japan in the women's
volleyball tournament here on Sunday.
It is the fourth time for the two Asian powerhouses to meet in Asiad's final
and the last China-Japan final was staged in Seoul in 1986, when China bagged
the gold medal.
The semifinal between China and Chinese Taipei turned out to be easier than
previously expected by the Chinese coach Chen Zhonghe with his opponents scoring
as low as 17, 13, 17 points in each set respectively.
Wang Yimei, a rising star of China, contributed most with 15 points, followed
by the Chinese powerful hitter Yang Hao who scored 14 points.
The two teams have met in preliminaries when China beat Chinese Taipei also
in straight sets.
Chen declined to made any comment after the match, but China's ace spiker
Zhou Shuhong praised the performance of their opponents.
"They have played much better than last match with us, especially, in
defense, which have made troubles for us," said Zhou.
China captain Feng Kun said their team has no special preparation for the
final with Japan.
"We will just play normally," said Feng.
Wu Hsi Chih, assistant coach of Chinese Taipei, are also satisfied with the
behaviors of his players.
"Our opponents are strong, but my players have shown great team spirit though
our head coach has been absent due to illness," said Wu.
"We have already realized the goal to enter top four in the Asian Games and
we have confidence to win the next match against Thailand and to take our first
Asian Games' medal," said Wu.

Genealogy and Family History Forums.
I co-host this genealogy group on yuku.com. We have been together since MSN had groups and we have migrated to different ".coms" through the years, until we have settled here for about 5 years, so we are not going anywhere! (unless yuku goes under, then we will migrate somewhere else!)
There is not much action lately, but if you post a comment, members will come "out of the woodwork" to answer questions, discuss genealogy with you, or just visit. (We love to visit, LOL!)
There is a ton of genealogy links that have been submitted over the years from the members stumbling across them in their research, and hundreds of modified registers have been posted under our "surname forum", along with the once very popular "Ancestor of the Week" forum.
The most action we have is under the "Just Conversation" forum, where about three or four of us check in every few days to say "hello", what the weather is like, and what we have been up to. It's gives the group a nice fellowship feeling, and we usually report what we are researching at the present, or where we are going to research our genealogy.
If you come and visit, let us know you saw our link here from my blog! No prizes, just interested how many used the link! :)

U-vint customers in Nova Scotia will have nothing to whine about when the province introduces regulations this spring for the operations.
"I'm not introducing these regulations in order to have an extra tax or fee," Finance Minister Diana Whalen said Thursday.
Whalen was responding to concerns the regulations, based on those in Prince Edward Island, could include the potato province's levy of 75 cents on each litre in a winemaking kit.
The minister said the province received a lot of feedback in the last two weeks from people concerned about the creation of such a new fee.
"I want to bring legislation in soon and I thought that was a good place to start, show all of the people in the industry what P.E.I. is doing and from there we will amend it to become our legislation," the minister said. "I'm not wedded to any of the features that are in the P.E.I. regs at all."
Whalen said it would have taken much longer to develop legislation from scratch. She said she was always uncomfortable with the P.E.I. fee.
Because the harmonized sales tax is charged on the sale of the service, existing businesses are hiring more people and new operations are opening, there's more than enough new revenue coming in without the province needing to create a new tax, she said.
"My feeling is we're already getting the benefit of more people working and more new businesses popping up. That's positive."
Wine Kitz Halifax owner Ross Harrington said he's pleased, but not surprised to hear Whalen's view.
"She's very astute in judging which way the wind is blowing," Harrington said. "She knows full well that a levy, which is nothing more than a cash grab by the province, is not palatable to the operators and certainly not to the public."
Harrington said he's heard from many clients turned off by the possibility of a new fee. He said he'd be "astonished" if the Liberals included a levy with the legislation when it's introduced.
Whalen said the province is also close to announcing the person who will lead an independent review of Nova Scotia's tax and fee systems.
Doing it independently means the process won't get bogged down in government, said Whalen.
It's her hope the report would be ready by the end of October and then incorporated into the 2015-16 budget.

- Summary: To a growing number of Mexicans and Latinos in the Americas, narco traffickers have become iconic outlaws and the new models of fame and success. They represent a pathway out of the ghetto - a new form of the American Dream, fueled by the war on drugs. Narco Cultura looks at this explosive phenomenon from within; cycles of addiction to money, drugs and violence that are rapidly gaining strength on both sides of the US/Mexican border.… Collapse

Just over the Mexico/U.S. border from Juarez is El Paso, Texas, ranked the safest large city in America three years in a row now. The question that that fact begs is in part why this film is a quietly subversive masterpiece.
Interviewed in the film, Juárez journalist Sandra Rodriguez offers up this grim summation: "That these people represent the ideal of success, impunity, and limitless power is symptomatic of how defeated we are as a society."
Schwarz's juxtaposition of the human cost of the drug war alongside the glamorization of its henchmen and their brutality is sobering, even depressing.
Ping-ponging between grisly South of the Border carnage and Angeleno musician Edgar Quintero's growing success as one of the subgenre's stars, you start to see how this parasitic relationship works.
What this film does is reveal two very different societies — both exhibiting, each in its own way, unmistakable signs of collapse.
Director Shaul Schwarz, sans judgment, presents us with two men who epitomize how accepted and engrained narco culture has become in Mexico.

Did anyone see this? It's from the Husky Football Blog. Apparently, Garnett is one of the highest ranked HS players in WA state... Hopefully, other recruits will feel the same way about Lupoi being fake.
"Another popular question in the days since the hiring of Tosh Lupoi and some of the other new assistants is whether the Huskies could get back in the hunt for Josh Garnett. Mason Kelley talked to Garnett today and found out the answer, which isn't a happy one for UW fans as Garnett said he hasn't changed his mind and isn't considering UW.
Asked about UW's hiring of Lupoi, Garnett said:
"I thought it was weird at first, just because Tosh was one of the guys who I never thought would move schools, because he would always preach the Cal-Berkeley pride and how he would never leave there and how he just loves Cal and how he wished I could be a part of Cal's family. I saw him at the Under-Armour game and he was still preaching that stuff. He moves, all of a sudden, up to Washington and I thought it was just strange for his character. A job opportunity came about. It's a business, so he had to make a business decision."

Weekly Real Estate Market Report for June 18th, 2014

- Written by Super User
The good weather's on its way. Let's fire it up!
Whether you're a die-hard charcoal fan, or more of a Hank Hill "taste the meat not the heat" propane griller, I hope you enjoy these tips and recipes. One of the great joys of owning your own home is making a space for a little outdoor cooking. It can be hard to grill on an apartment balcony!
The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (http://www.hpba.org/) recently shared these interesting facts for National Barbecue Month. You can see why grilling is so popular!
81% of Americans report that at least one aspect of grilling outside is easier than cooking indoors. The most convenient parts are cited as cleanup (49%) followed by the cooking process itself (40%).
The majority of adults (58%) agree that cooking out is more fun and relaxing than dining out and beneficial for avoiding travel (58%), dress codes (57%) and crowds (56%).
70% of Americans say cooking out gets them in a healthier routine, specifically by encouraging time spent outdoors instead of cooped up in the house. Outdoor cooking also encourages adults to make smarter food choices such as eating fresh rather than frozen foods (54% agreed) and cooking healthier food on the grill overall (40% agreed).
(Source: http://www.hpba.org/consumers/barbecue/national-barbecue-month-2011-summertime-and-the-grilln-is-easy)
Get your tongs, spatulas, brushes, rubs, marinades, and skewers ready. Grilling doesn't always have to be about meat. If it grows, you can grill it, and adding garden variety fruits and veggies can transform a BBQ experience. Check out 15 amazing recipes, recently featured on the Pacific Coast Farmer's Market website:
15 Great Seasonal Grilling Recipes
Also: Don't neglect to "set the stage" for grilling when selling your home. Dressing the patio for cookouts can get your buyers thinking of the fun summer afternoons ahead.
Invite the neighbors over and get grilling!

The Fourth of July is a great day to celebrate and reflect on our history. It's a chance to celebrate the freedom we live with every day. It's also a time to honor those who've served our country and ensured our freedom.
One of those celebrations included the popular Summerlin Parade. It always starts bright and early and the sea of red, white and blue colors seem to get bigger and brighter every year.
The sidewalks were packed by 8 a.m. with bystanders all dressed in their stars and stripes. There was no shortage of patriotism at the 14th annual Independence Day Parade. Even the kids jumped into their closets to find the best red, white and blue clothing to wear.
SLIDESHOW: Check out updates from all Las Vegas Fourth of July events
The people we talked to say they don't mind getting up early on a holiday. To them, it's more than just a holiday. Some of the people say coming together wearing their colors shows a sign of solidarity and patriotism.
"We're here to celebrate and thank everybody for honoring our country, right? And giving us the freedom to be here today," said Roy Nelson.
Meanwhile, down at the Veterans Center on Bonanza, Congresswoman Shelley Berkeley helped sponsor a barbeque in honor of all those homeless vets here in Las Vegas. The lines were long, but every one of them got a hearty meal and a thank you for providing that freedom we live under today.
Both the parade and barbecue helped to unite our community.
"Fourth of July is all about giving. You got a place to stay and you got some homeless people who don't have a place to stay. Offer it. Offer what you have because if you believe in a higher power like I do, anything you give will come back to you," said former homeless veteran Joseph Bryant.
Bryant served in the Korean conflict. He used to be one of the faceless veterans living on the streets, but three years ago he came to one of the homeless vet barbecues at the Veterans Center. He says it was at that time, with the help and sincerity of the people at that event, he was able to change and turn his life around.

Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

Verizon Communications agreed September 2 to pay $130 billion to buy Britain's Vodafone Group out of its U.S. wireless business. The deal, the third-largest corporate buyout in history, was agreed to in principle this summer by Vittorio Colao, Vodafone's boss, and Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, while the two attended a New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden in New York this summer. But it followed years of on-again, off-again negotiations between the two telecommunications giants. The value of the Verizon Wireless network has increased five-fold in the 14 years since Verizon and Vodafone started it as a joint venture. The deal allows Verizon access to all the profits from the largest mobile network in the United States, while Vodafone will be able to return $84 billion to shareholders and use the rest of the money to invest in its network.Click through to check out other big-money plays from the past week.
Microsoft, which has lagged rivals Google and Apple in the mobile game, is looking to shake up the scene with its $7.2 billion purchase of Nokia's phone business. As part of the deal, announced September 3, Stephen Elop, the former chief executive of Nokia, will rejoin Microsoft to help run the integration of the businesses and possibly compete to take over as Microsoft's CEO from the retiring Steve Ballmer. Nokia, once the dominant mobile phone player, has in recent years struggled as Samsung and Apple have gobbled market share in the smartphone market. Microsoft, meanwhile, has had a hard time getting traction for its Windows Mobile operating system in the face of withering competition from Apple and Google Android. Now, Microsoft will have a chance to act more like its rivals by integrating its smartphone hardware division (Nokia), with its software.
Chicago private equity firm Madison Dearborn reached a $1.75 billion deal to sell the Deerfield, Massachusetts-based Yankee Candle to Jarden Corp., a Rye, New York-based conglomerate of consumer products brands. Madison Dearborn had acquired Yankee Candle in 2007 for $1.4 billion. The candle maker and seller, though, isn't planning any big changes with new ownership, says Yankee Candle CEO Harlan Kent. The company will continue making the bulk of its candles in Massachusetts. "I don't think that's going to change going forward," Kent says. "We have a world class, very competitive candle manufacturing operation here. We think the benefits of it are significant." The deal was announced September 3.

Lithium Technologies, a San Francisco provider of cloud-based customer care software and services, has raised $50 million more, the company said September 3. The new money came from a syndicate of unnamed "global institutional investors," as well as prior investor NEA. Founded in 2001, Lithium had previously raised $101.6 million. President and CEO Rob Tarkoff said the company still had much of the $53 million it raised early last year in reserve, but the opportunity arose to pursue strategic partnerships with two publicly traded investment companies, including one of the largest in mutual fund operators in Boston and another firm in San Francisco. He would not identify the companies.
Zuora, a cloud-based subscription commerce, billing and finance company, raised $50 million in Series E funding, announced September 5. The Redwood City, California-based firm said new investors Vulcan Capital, Northgate Capital and Next World Capital all participated in the funding, along with previous investors Shasta Ventures, Benchmark Capital, Greylock Partners, Index Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Tenaya Capital, Workday founder and co-CEO Dave Duffield and SalesForce founder Marc Benioff.
HotelTonight, the developer of a mobile device app for last minute hotel bookings, has raised $45 million in Series D financing led by Coatue Management, with participation from GGV Capital. Prior investors Battery Ventures, Accel Partners, U.S. Venture Partners and First Round Capital also committed capital. The latest infusion, announced September 5, brings to $80.35 million the total that HotelTonight has raised since launching in 2011. It last raised a $23 million Series C round in June of 2012.

Hearsay Social, a San Francisco firm that helps companies use social networks to care for customers, advocate for brands and increase sales, has raised $30 million in in Series C funding led by prior investors Sequoia Capital and NEA. The latest round, announced September 4, brings Hearsay's total funding to date to $51 million. Founder Steve Garrity said Hearsay has doubled its customer base in the past year, with big client wins just this year including Raymond James, Mutual of Omaha, Bank of the West, Nationwide Insurance and Allianz Global Investors, among others. "Now we can hire even faster, ahead of growth," Garrity said.
AlienVault announced September 5 it has raised $26.5 million in a Series D round of funding for its tools that help companies detect and monitor security threats. The new round was led by GGV Capital. Also participating were existing investors Trident Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Sigma West and Adara Venture Partners, along with new investors Top Tier Capital and Correlation Ventures. CEO Barmak Meftah said the new money will be used to further develop its product, which gives customers a collection of open source security tools that can all be managed in one place.
Check, the startup that offers a mobile bill-paying app and was formerly known as Pageonce, has raised $24 million, it announced September 4. The Palo Alto-based company led by CEO Guy Goldstein said the Series C round was led by Menlo Ventures. Previous investors Morgenthaler Ventures and Pitango Venture Capital also participated. The company has now raised a total of $49 million since it was founded in 2007. Goldstein said that Check has begun to add a focus on signing up retailers for its service, moving beyond the consumer focus that helped to make it the 26th most popular free finance app on iTunes. "We are offering them a way for their customers to pay their bills with our app," he said.

American energy independence is right around the corner and the country is set to become the world's oil and gas superpower. This could be the era of American energy dominance, thanks to the advent of hydraulic fracturing — or fracking.
BP Global expects that the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer this year due to rising production from fracking. On top of that, U.S. oil imports will fall nearly 75 percent through 2035. This will diminish OPEC's influence on world oil markets and dampen their abilities to manipulate prices — something the global oil cartel is fretting over.
Natural gas from shale is expected to account for 68 percent of U.S. gas production by 2035, and North American natural gas is expected to make up 71 percent of the world's shale gas production by 2035, according to BP.
Shale resources have dramatically lowered energy prices, helping to spur a sort of manufacturing renaissance in the U.S. — something even Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel can get behind.
"Cheap energy — the revolution that's going on in America's heartland on energy — is making sure that America now has a manufacturing renaissance," Emanuel, President Obama's former chief of staff told CNBC's Squawk Box.
"Washington is not talking about this," Emanuel added. "The biggest revolution equal to the Internet is the energy independence in the United States."
Emanuel is sort of right — many Washington politicians don't talk about the shale boom. But there is one politician who has not been shy to take credit for the energy boom — despite his administration's attempts to stymie oil and gas development.
"In the meantime, the natural gas boom has led to cleaner power and greater energy independence," Obama said in his 2013 State of the Union Address. "That's why my administration will keep cutting red tape and speeding up new oil and gas permits."
The federal government has had almost nothing to do with the oil boom that has been going on for the last few years. In fact, the feds have only been detrimental to energy production. While oil and gas production soared on private property and state lands, production on federal lands has withered.
The Congressional Research Service found last year that all of the increased crude oil production "from FY2007 to FY2012 took place on non-federal lands." Natural gas production on federal lands fell by 33 percent from 2007 to 2012, while production on private and state lands grew by 40 percent.
The benefits of the energy boom go beyond the broader economy. Such benefits can be seen driving through the hard hit areas of rural America. In Pennsylvania, once struggling farms can now afford to rebuild dilapidated barns or buy brand new tractors with royalty payments from gas companies.
More importantly, fracking is giving younger generations economic opportunity and a future. They no longer have to leave their hometowns, never to return, in order to find employment. For example, they can take over the now viable family farm or even go work for drilling companies operating in the area.
For decades, politicians and environmentalists said that we were running out of oil, and renewable energy was the key to weaning the U.S. off of foreign oil. But it was the ingenuity of the private sector and the willingness of states to develop valuable energy resources that have rebooted the country's energy sector and put the U.S. on the path to energy dominance.

Based upon the recent blockbuster trade and many doubts about the availability of Dwight next summer, I decided to take a look at next year's free agent crop and see what's available, and if they may become a Maverick next year.
The Big Names
Andrew Bynum, Phillidelphia 76ers - $16.1 million - Unrestricted
Bynum moves to the top of the list in my opinion as a max player next summer. If Philly finishes 7-8 in the East, will he want to stay in Philly and struggle, or play alongside Dirk as a top 4 team in the west? With Bynum, I still put the Heat, Boston, Nets, Chicago (healthy D-Rose), maybe Knicks, maybe Pacers ahead of Philly. How important does winning mean to Bynum vs. Money?
Dwight Howard, L.A. Lakers - $19.5 million - Unrestricted
Only possible if LA explodes this season, but he still has to be mentioned.
Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks - $13.2 million - Unrestricted
I would have Smith right below Bynum if he played something other than PF as his main position. He can play the 3, but his strength comes from his overwhelming athleticism at the 4. I think he is the most likely to leave, but his overlapping with Dirk makes Dallas an unlikely destination.
Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers - $17.8 million - Unrestricted
If Lakers win the championship, he would not even be his city's favorite point guard. That would be Nash. Does he want to perpetually be second fiddle in his own city? I don't see why he would leave Blake to join Dirk because of their respective ages, but Paul is very prideful, and if his own city doesn't appreciate him, he may bolt.
James Harden, Oklahoma City Thunder - $5.8 million - Restricted
Serge Ibaka, Oklahoma City Thunder - $2.2 million - Restricted
I lump them together because their fates are so intertwined. One of these guys may be available at a high price if you're interested. Harden is a max guy. There is no argument against this in this market. He is just as good as Eric Gordon, and much better than Batum. The guy is gonna get the max unless he re-ups before the extension deadline for less. I'm not sure if OKC will max both Harden and Ibaka if they don't get past the Lakers, especially having to likely amnesty Perkins to do so who is a Dwight killer. The question is which one is available, and do you really want to give Ibaka the max? He blocks shots, decent mid-range, and that's it. He is improving, and if he reaches his potential he is worth it, but it is a risky contract.
The Point Guard Crew
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors - $4.0 million - Restricted
John Wall, Washington Wizards - $5.9 million - Restricted
Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings - $5.3 million - Restricted
Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers - $2.7 million - Restricted
Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets - $2.5 million - Restricted
Brandon Jennings, Milwaukee Bucks - $3.2 million - Restricted
Darren Collison, Indiana Pacers - $2.3 million - Restricted
These guys are almost all get the same description. Some are slightly better than others, and opinions can vary greatly based upon how you like to watch basketball. I think Holiday, Jennings, and Tyreke can all be had if you overpay, but how much do you have to overpay? They are all shot-chucking combo guards who could improve playing with Dirk and a good organization, but it will take a risky overpay to get them. Curry, Wall, and Lawson will be matched. We have the trump card on Collison, and if he plays great this year, expect him back next year over these other guys.
The Wild Cards
Nikola Pekovic, Minnesota Timberwolves - $4.8 million - Restricted
Very solid big man in the middle. Great Rebounder, decent offensively, decent defensively. I think it would be very hard to get him from Minnesota without maxxing him out (I don't think he's a max guy). Kahn is in appease Kevin Love mode, Minnesota will likely take a leap this season, and I think they will try to retain him at almost any price.
Taj Gibson, Chicago Bulls - $2.2 million - Restricted
Him and Ibaka are the same player, except Taj is smarter defensively, but not as much potential and not as good of a mid-range jumper. Will be cheaper, but Chicago may match.
Al Jefferson, Utah Jazz - $15.0 million - Unrestricted
Defensive sieve, but would be the best post player offensively Dirk has ever had. He will be available if we want him, but once again, how much do you pay?
Kevin Martin, Houston Rockets - $12.4 million - Unrestricted
Martin will sign for less, the question is the years. He is nearing 30 or at 30 so this is a cautious signing. I would stick with Mayo personally.
DeMar DeRozan, Toronto Raptors - $3.3 million - Restricted
I like Mayo better, but DeRozan does intrigue me. Great athleticism, but he has struggled to carry a team offensively, especially when Bargnani got hurt. Playing with Dirk puts him in a more complimentary role. He may be available because of Toronto's reach on Terrence Ross may indicate it is giving DeMar a last chance.
This list is rather disappointing compared to what we were hoping for. Bynum is a possibility, but he is the only one that can really "move the needle" for most fans. There is value here; the question is how much do you pay to get it?

So I got to thinking after watching the MN legislature debate the stadium, reading the Legislature Mock Draft and watching Rep. John Kriesel speak, could any of these people be on DN? First off, if Rep. Kriesel is not, I am begging our fearless leaders to recruit him, if only for a guest writer spot. He would be a valuable free agent acquisition for this team.
Anyway, so what would the DN nicknames of certain MN politicians be? I would have a few for Rep. Zellers, but they are all NSFW. And conversely, which of our DNers could be MN politicians or for that matter famous fans of our beloved Purple. So, go ahead and have fun with this one DNers, but keep it clean. Remember, think of the children!

"@AdamSchefter: 49ers sent out a mass email this afternoon to teams around the league to try and trade safety Taylor Mays."
Schefter reports the Niners are looking to ship out Taylor Mays. I'm wondering if the Bengals might try to make a play for him? History indicates probably not. I also do very much like the Safeties we have on the rosters, especially with Whinter signing. However we aren't too young in the area and most contracts are short term. I think Mays could come in play ST, back up, get spot time and just get acclimated to the team and system and be a long term starter for us next year. All speculation now, but still might be a need to add some quality youth (sorry Tom Nelson).

What an excellent list you've put together. Honestly, this is by far the best essential gear list I have seen online so far. I am going to be buying several things off this list as both presents for others and treats for myself. So thank you for sharing this!.
Are you kidding me with the $30 chopsticks?? I thought this magazine was about appreciating outdoors, not marketing a bunch of needless crap.
I use the nite ize s biner as a key chaine. I hook it to my belt loop. Numeros times my keys have fallen off. I usually can hear the sound of keys hitting the ground. On a recent end of Fly fishing adventure. I turned the car around to do a final check for any forgoten equipment. The metalic reflection came from the ground. I got out and there was the nite Ize S-biner. BackPacker Editors award and all. Spring not strong enough!
How many backpackers do you know that carry $600 binoculars? Get real.
I'm really surprised to see MSR's quick 2 system at the same time that GSI's dualist system is not mentioned yet it has the 2008 editor's choice and lighter than MSR's. This really makes me question the credibility of the whole backpacker's site that I have always had it as a flagship.

Consistent with its responsibilities as a self-regulatory organization, FINRA performs a regulatory review of the disclosure information filed before it makes the information available through FINRA BrokerCheck. Most disclosure information is available through FINRA BrokerCheck within two business days of being filed. In certain limited circumstances, disclosure information may not be available through FINRA BrokerCheck within the usual timeframe, but will be made available as soon as practicable.
10. Consistent with rules, policies and procedures approved by the SEC, FINRA will disclose information on individuals, through FINRA BrokerCheck, for ten years after the termination of the individual's registration with FINRA or a national securities exchange and, in certain cases, indefinitely. Additionally, FINRA will disclose indefinitely information on brokerage firms through FINRA BrokerCheck. Disclosure information reported to FINRA after an individual or brokerage firm has terminated may not have been reviewed by the brokerage firm or individual; in addition, brokerage firms and individuals who are no longer registered are not required to independently report such information.
11. FINRA BrokerCheck includes only information provided to CRD. In substantially all cases, the information provided through FINRA BrokerCheck represents the verbatim record as it was reported to FINRA. However, in certain limited circumstances, FINRA combined information about a single event that was reported by different sources (e.g., a record reporting information on an event that was submitted by a brokerage firm may contain information reported on the same event that was submitted by a regulator). This condition occurred when the data in the Legacy CRD system was converted (i.e., reformatted and transferred) to Web CRD, the Internet-based Central Registration Depository. This condition affects a small percentage of records reported to FINRA prior to August 1999. These converted records contain information that was reported to FINRA in accordance with appropriate reporting protocols applicable to the source filers (e.g., brokerage firms and regulators); however, because of the combination of information from different reporting sources, a record disclosed through FINRA BrokerCheck may not reflect the actual filing submitted to FINRA.
12. The "Individual Broker comments," "Brokerage Firm comments" and "Regulator comments" appear verbatim as they were filed in CRD via Forms U4, U5, and U6. These comments were not written by FINRA and have not been edited by FINRA in any way. FINRA reserves the right to redact customer names, confidential customer information, or offensive or potentially defamatory language from a FINRA BrokerCheck Report consistent with policies and procedures approved by the SEC.

Another View -- Michael Biundo: GOP's problem is not the message, it is ground organization
For several weeks, politicians and pundits from the beltway to newsrooms have analyzed the results and implications of this historic election. While some make valid points, few have articulated the real reasons why Republicans didn't fare as well as they hoped. Even fewer have given a direction for what it takes to be successful going forward.
Working on both the Mitt Romney campaign as his national coalitions director and the Rick Santorum campaign as his national campaign manager, perhaps I have a unique perspective. As a coach on the field understands better than an announcer in the booth why his team lost, the same applies in politics.
For the past decade, our country has been in a political flux, with the partisan pendulum swinging sharply from the left to right election after election. Nov. 6 looked to be a culmination of this with Republicans coming off a very successful midterm election in 2010 and a President who remained unpopular.
We were greatly mistaken. As the millions spent on the airwaves by both parties in critical swing states became white noise and each candidate made his own mistakes throughout the race, it is clear that this election was won on the strength of a superior ground operation.
While Republicans became overconfident from their successes in the last midterm, Democrats buckled down immediately and began to identify their voters. To those saying the GOP must water down and moderate its platform, let us remember that not once did those on the political left moderate their policies. Rather, they began by systematically revving up each section of their base.
To name a few, Democrats pandered to unions through the political theater in Wisconsin. They put in play the class warfare card by calling for the end of the Bush-era tax cuts, then encouraged environmentalists by blocking the Keystone XL pipeline. Finally they created the fictitious "war on women." One by one, they appeased those most likely to pull the lever in favor of President Obama's second term.
Their grassroots army, Organizing for America (OFA), then immediately began identifying these individuals by working with local parties in competitive states Democrats knew they needed to win. In a swing state, it was not uncommon for a voter who likely supported the President to have been contacted by a member of OFA multiple times even before April. By contrast, Republicans were months out from even setting up GOP Victory offices in these same states, let alone implementing identification programs. Pro-Republican Super PACs, our party and many of our candidates were more interested in placing ads on the air than getting boots on the ground.
Democrats also implemented an impressive operation to register new voters. In New Hampshire, I know of an unregistered young man in his 20s who bought a home in September. In October, he was greeted at his door by an OFA staffer who called him by name, told him he fit their criteria as a possible Democratic Party voter, and asked him what they could do to help him register. As expected, OFA then followed up several times before Election Day.
We all know how this story ends: with the President winning every swing state other than the two he never should have won in 2008. After digging deeper, we Republicans lost seats in the Senate, and other than a few House seats redrawn in our favor we didn't win any truly competitive House races.
As we approach another mid-term election, the pundits have been quick to say 2014 should be a historically successful year for Republicans. This might be true. However, if we as a party do not embrace the importance of building solid grassroots operations state by state, targeting voters based on our issues, and creating new voter recruitment plans, we could likely wake up on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014 very disappointed.
While Republicans must move forward, we need to learn from 2012 just as the Democrats learned from 2010. If we don't, we have only ourselves to blame.
Mike Biundo of Manchester was Rick Santorum's national campaign manager in the 2012 Republican presidential primary. In the general election he worked as national coalitions director for Mitt Romney's campaign.

Meanwhile . . .
While congress concerns itself with important things like regulating sports, the 9/11 panel says the US is unprepared for an attack:
The former Sept. 11 commission is giving Congress and the White House poor marks on protecting the U.S. against an inevitable terror attack because of their failure to enact several strong security measures. The 10-member panel, equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, prepared to release a report Monday assessing how well their recommendations have been followed. They say the government deserves "more F's than A's" in responding to their 41 suggested changes.
"People are not paying attention," chairman Thomas Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, said Sunday. "God help us if we have another attack."
Since the commission's final report in July 2004, the government has enacted the centerpiece proposal to create a national intelligence director. But it has stalled on other ideas, including improving communication among emergency responders and shifting federal terrorism-fighting money so it goes to states based on risk level.
The problem, and it is a real problem, is the abhorrent partisan conduct of the 9/11 panel and its total lack of veracity, has removed any last shred of credibility it may have had.
I don't know if this is true or not and frankly don't/won't care unless someone else without a partisan desire to embarass the President comes out with their own report reaching the same conclusions.

Reported by Casey Roman – bio |email
SOUTHPORT (WECT) - Southport's proposed $2 to 3 billion port in Brunswick County has two strikes against it. On Tuesday, Congressman Mike McIntyre retracted his support. A day earlier, state lawmakers announced they will not include funding for the port's feasibility study in next year's budget.
McIntyre made a statement saying the idea is too risky and costly, both economically and environmentally. He's also concerned about security and the impact of quality of life for Brunswick residents.
Without his support, half of the $10 million feasibility study is gone. The state was expected to pay the other half but has decided against the funding. The study is a necessary step toward the future development of the port.
Whether the project comes or not, it will inevitably impact Southport and its residents.
The strongest opposition has come from a locally organized group, "No Port, Southport."
"Amazing! Amazing! All of our hard work has really started to pay off," said Toby Bronstein, a member of the organization.
A less vocal group, the longshoreman living in Southport, say a failed port will lock out jobs from the area and deflate the local economy.
"We have some mad longshoreman at this time," said Henry Rose, the President of the International Longshoreman's Association of Southport. "I'm surprised and I'm mad really."
He's mad that Congressman Mike McIntrye has thrown up his own do not enter sign, and even more upset that his fellow longshoreman can't find work.
Henry said he gets a handful of union applications every day from people who have had their sights set on a job at the future port. He said those jobs will pay $40-$50,000 per year, and include both labor and administrative positions.
Henry said most of the hopeful applicants are right out of high school or college.
"They will lose everything if this port doesn't get here and give them some work," said Henry.
"It's about the economics that don't make sense," countered Toby Bronstein. "The feds have shut off the tap, the state has shut off the tap. It's time to move on."
Bronstein says port job creation is wishful thinking. She called the figures reported by port officials, "a PR blitz" and said they've been highly exaggerated. She also believes that the longshoreman will continue to be able to find work at the Wilmington port.
The North Carolina Ports Authority would not comment on camera, however; they did issue a written statement.
"The Authority shares many of the concerns and questions surrounding the proposed terminal project. The only way to move forward and address these issues is through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Feasibility Study process.
The Authority continues to believe in the opportunities and potential this project could provide the residents of North Carolina. We remain hopeful that we can explore opportunities to further address these concerns in the future."

Hopefully this a trend our guys follow
Say what you want about Finnegan - yes, he is a chippy player - but this is the definition of leadership. Hopefully one of our captains - guys like Champ, DJ, Kuper, or Orton follow suit. This is the kind of leadership Champ just got a 4 year commitment for and it'd be nice to see Orton fight back.

By Eric Flack
(LOUISVILLE) -- For the first time, we have accounts from a local rescue worker heading up search and recovery teams in New Orleans. He says there is devastation on an unimaginable scale. Meanwhile, another group of Jefferson County Water Rescue Team members headed South Thursday to help save Katrina victims from the stagnant flood waters. WAVE 3 Investigator Eric Flack reports.
The images of flood victims from New Orleans resemble something close to hell. And no matter how disturbing the scenes unfolding on TV are, Travis Bell with Louisville's swift water rescue team says it's 10 times worse than it looks.
"The people are at their wits' end -- they give you this look of desperation," Bell said, speaking via cell phone from the rescue staging area in Baton Rouge. "They don't care, they just want to get away from where New Orleans is, and we can't help them. We don't have the resources here to make that happen right now."
Bell, a commander with the water rescue team, says his 30-man squad is working 15-hour days, but it is simply not enough.
"We've met up with numerous families that are toting a deceased family member with them," Bell said.
"All the hospitals here in the downtown area, I know of three of them that have no generators, no oxygen, no drugs. (Patients) are basically waiting for people to come get them. If not, these folks are going to die in these hospitals."
Fourteen more water rescue personnel packed up Wednesday evening to head south and relieve exhausted team members. They say they have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
"I don't know, I really don't know what I'm going to expect," said team member Mark Burns.
New Orleans is such a mess right now that the water rescue team must bring everything they'll possibly need with them -- everything from food and water to toilet paper, and body bags.
Right now the natural disaster is so huge, FEMA is overwhelmed. The Jefferson County Water Rescue Team is on its own.
And while they are closing in on 400 rescues, after just three days, Bell says the people they can't they can't help are hardest to forget.
"It's killing us, it's wrenching," Bell said. "These kids, these elderly folks that are looking at us. As soon as we feel like we accomplished something, we go around the next street corner, the next one- way street, and there's another 300 people staring us in the face."
The fresh crew on its way to New Orleans had mental health counselors in tow to help the men and women from the water rescue team deal with all they are seeing and experiencing. Members will also get counseling when they return home.
They are hoping everyone will be back by the middle of next week.

text: Perhaps the most overlooked of AC/DC's albums, Fly on the Wall was passed up because of bad production. People were too busy listening to pop and hair metal to realize that AC/DC was back, and what a mistake that was. Perhaps one of AC/DC's best albums, it never recieves any credit because Brian Johnson's vocals sound like they were sung in an empty barrel. Well the new remaster takes care of that enough so it's not that noticeable. Besides with rockers like these who'll take the time to nitpick every little detail apart. The album takes off with the title track Fly on the Wall. This song is quite possibly my favorite AC/DC song. The chorus mixed with the pumping vocals create quite a headbanging good time. Other rockers include Back in Business, Send for the Man, Playing With Girls, First Blood, and Shake Your Foundations. Sink the Pink is another amazing track with one of the coolest choruses, as Malcolm and Cliff join Brian to chant along. The only songs i don't care for on here are Danger and Stand Up. Overall, this is AC/DC's attempt to show that no matter what the musical taste is this year, they ain't gonna change! and bless them for that.
