As Kansas City Council members move closer to approving a single terminal at Kansas City International Airport, public opposition mounts.
Aviation officials say the $1.2 billion project is needed, but passengers say the current setup is convenient and it would be a waste of money.
Friends of KCI, a group opposed to the single terminal, gathered 165 signatures in opposition in an effort to halt construction.
But the City Attorney's Office ruled that the petition is invalid because the council thus far has only approved a resolution. The council has not passed an ordinance or authorized actual construction.
John Murphy of Friends of KCI says this is just round one of a lengthy battle.
"We're not politicians, professionals," Murphy said. "We've never tried to do anything like this. We want the citizens of Kansas City to vote if they want a new airport or not."
While no Kansas City general fund dollars would be used on the airport construction, federal tax dollars and airfare ticket surcharges would pay for the costs.
"They are spending $1.2 billion on an unnecessary airport," Murphy said. "Kansas City has high crime, 110 murders a year, crumbling streets and parks and poor schools. Focusing on something like this, we think, is wrong."
Public hearings will be held. But Mark VanLoh, director of aviation for Kansas City, makes clear he believes there is no doubt that Kansas City needs a new airport, which would be built on the site of Terminal A.
Murphy vows to do what it takes to stop this from occurring.

Lately, lots of people have been worrying about some sad looking white pines. Naturalist Charlie Browne of the Fairbanks Museum explained to us what these yellow needles are all about.
Sharon Meyer: So Charlie, tell me what you know about white pine. A lot of people are noticing that several of them are not looking that good.
Charlie Browne: Well, that's true, and this is the phenomenon that the foresters are just beginning to get on top of. A lot of white pines across Northern New England seem to be showing signs of a fungal infection that causes the needles, particularly on the mid-level branches, not the tops, to turn quite yellow and they will ultimately fall off. And so you might see a whole grove of pine trees with yellowing needles on the broadest branches. But we can reassure you that although the fungus will stay, the trees will survive. Pines shed their needles all the time, but the discoloration and shedding this summer as it did two years ago, is evidence of this fungal infection.
Meyer: OK, so they may look really bad for awhile, but they're not necessarily dead. People should give them a chance next year to come back?
Browne: Absolutely, we don't know, apparently the spread of the fungus is encouraged by wet springs and we've had several of those in recent years and they may have stimulated a fungal outbreak. But the trees will not die, simply from this infection.
You may have noticed the needles turning yellow in May, and foresters expect the needs to fall off by early July.

I'm so advanced that I follow Ending Strength.
Stay paleo. Eat more. Lift heavy stuff. Do sprints instead of long distance.
Wanna look like a sprinter or a marathoner?
Thank you all. I have been reading SS and lifting lots of heavy shit. Squats, deadlifts, pull ups. I have added a few extra meals and temporarily waving goodbye to my abdominal muscles. It's way easier than running 40 miles a week.

Global Warrior Challenge – "The British Invasion": U.S. vs. U.K. Fight Videos. The Ricco Rodriguez vs. Marcin Lazarz heavyweight fight took place on 06/29/2013 in the Sprint Center, Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
Why does Ricco fight still….
ricco looking good physically
That was difficult to sit through.
There was this one time when I sat on the toilet for 20 minutes and took a fat crap and it was more entertaining than this fight.
why lose the weight now? he was more entertaining fighting at super HW….
why didnt he just shoot on the pole? None of them have any groundgame…. I think he took a dive.

We fund only those projects that are based on scientific research and methods and that achieve a tangible conservation outcome through protecting threatened plant and animal species or that help educate our community about the environment.
The Foundation does not commit funds to lobbying or political campaigning, directing all available resources to achieving tangible conservation results where immediate help is needed.
These principles are guarded by the Foundation's Projects Committee, which chooses projects and oversees their progress and completion.

Do we still have Jeanmar Gomez under contract? I remember him having a lot of success in long relief and spot start roles, and I don't quite understand why he's never talked about as a possibility for the starting rotation.
I mean, after all, how confident can we be that Wandy will come back healthy—or even with talent for that matter.
If Wandy is out that leaves us with Liranio, Cole, Morton and Volquez with Locke, Cumpton, Pimentel, Gomez, and maybe Irwin as possibilities for the fifth starter.
I always feel like Jeanmar is overlooked and I'm not quite sure why.

St Basils has a 42 year track record of helping homeless young people providing a holistic range of services including prevention, accommodation and support.
We work with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, helping over 5000 young people per year across Birmingham, Sandwell, Solihull, Worcestershire, the Wyre Forest and Coventry. At any one time we have over 400 young people living in our accommodation schemes, which for some young people includes their young children as well.
We have a range of advice, accommodation and support services to help young people regain the stability they need to rebuild their lives, gain skills, training and employment and move on, successfully breaking the cycle of homelessness, so that they can realise a brighter future.
We desperately need local support and help to continue our vital services and make sure young people can get the help they need. Please donate today.
We are a West Midlands based charity providing practical help, advice and support across the Midlands but we have national influence too.St Basils also works with young people and partners on a national basis and this work is funded separately by DCLG. We facilitate the National Youth Reference Group and the Youth Homeless Parliament and we are working in partnership to roll out the 'Positive Pathways' model nationwide. We are also part of the national alliance to End Youth Homelessness.
Preventing Youth Homelessness
We prevent youth homelessness with a helpline, advice, a schools project and a family mediation service.
For young people who have become homeless, St Basils has a range of supported options from emergency projects that are staffed 24/7 onto varying degrees of semi-independent accommodation.
We also have designated support services which aim to help young people realise a brighter future by gaining the skills needed to move on successfully to independent living and access education, training and employment, in order to develop confidence, skills and opportunities, and ultimately stop the cycle of homelessness.
Headlines Stats
No. of young people who sought our help by year
We work with young people aged 16 – 25 including some young mums and dads, so at anytime housed within our projects there may be babies, toddlers and young children as well.
Sarah, 23 said: "I was working full time in the fashion industry, when I got pregnant and my partner left me. Around the same time the company I worked for were laying off staff and I got made redundant, so I couldn't pay the rent. I'm living proof that homelessness can happen to anyone. St Basils wasn't just a roof over my head, all the staff were so positive and encouraging and gave me opportunities to turn things around for myself and my daughter. I'm still receiving some support from St Basils but I've got my own place and I'm back in work now part-time".
Alan, 18 said: I became homeless due to family breakdown when my mother decided to choose her new partner over me. She suddenly one day told me to get out of the house and with the behaviour from her partner, I had no choice but to leave. I got an appointment at St Basils and was given a place at St Basils Emergency Accommodation project Milner Court. After 3 months I was moved on to St Basils Foyer Edmonds Court. It was great to be part of a community where all the young people are in work, employment or training. St Basils youth involvement opportunities really helped build my confidence and self esteem. I am currently at University studying French, Japenese and teaching English as a foreign language".
More young people's stories >>>
Homelessness is a complex issue and has many causes but some of the issues that most effect young people are abuse, neglect, family breakdown and overcrowding.
We have a range of prevention services aimed at helping young people who are having problems or may be at risk of homelessness including housing aid and advice and a family mediation service. These services aim to help prevent a crisis situation occuring for young people, as if a young person suddenly finds themselves roofless they may struggle to keep their job or may not be able to finish their education. Once a young person loses their job, they may struggle to find their own home through traditional means. St Basils therefore has a range of projects which provide accommodation whilst supporting and encouraging young people to enter further education or find a job so that ultimately they can learn how to live independently, support themselves financially and move on to their own accommodation separate from St Basils.
St Basils has 28 supported accommodation projects across Birmingham, Solihull and North Worcestershire to help young people who find themselves homeless. We have over 400 flats or bedsits to meet various needs from emergency and fully supported accommodation on to semi-independent accommodation.
We have an OCN accredited Life Skills programme aimed at helping our residents learn the skills to be independent such as cooking and budgeting. This is particularly useful for those aged 16-18 and our young care leavers. We actively encourage all young people living at St Basils projects to get involved in some form of volunteering, education, training or to seek paid work. We have a designated learning skills and work programme providing advice and guidance on education, employment and training.
To access any of St Basils services the housing helpline Youthline is your first point of call, if you are a young person living in Birmingham. For North Worcestershire referrals please call 01527 572050. You don't have to be homeless to ask for our help. If you are aged 16 to 25 and experiencing problems at home or with family please get in touch now; call us on 0300 30 30 099. If you are a support worker and want to refer a young person to us, please complete the referral form below:
Complete an Online Youthline Application Form Now (Click Here!)
Once you are with us you will have access to all of the above as well as many opportunities for developing yourself through getting involved in or organising activities and events, joining our Youth Advisory Board and gaining valuable experience. Ultimately you will leave us and move on with your life in a planned and successful way and be able to maintain your own tenancy or private accommodation.
Launched on 8th May 2013, we are now part of the End Youth Homelessness Alliance. The Alliance is a unique national collaboration between business, health professionals and regional youth homelessness charities working to 'End Youth Homelessness'.
The End Youth Homelessness campaign focuses on pushing for change in the key areas of prevention and family support, employment, housing and health to ensure that homeless young people can secure both a home and a job and have the support networks needed to realise a positive future.
You can find out more at www.eyh.org.uk or visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/endyouthhomelessness. You can also follow @eyh_uk and @StBasilsCharity on Twitter.
To ensure we can continue our vital services here in the Midlands, we need to raise at least £700,000 per year. You can help! We hold fundraising activities throughout the year which you can get involved in, including the annual sponsored walk usually in June, sponsored BIG Sleepout usually in late November/early December, the St Basils Bake Off in September and a range of smaller activities throughout the year. Perhaps you or your company, community or faith group could organise your own car washing day, cycling challenge or skydive. Whatever your idea please call the fundraising team on 0121 772 9614 to discuss it and we will endeavour to provide you with all the support, materials and promotion you need to make it a success!
Here's why we need your help:

Gallery Tickets
Following a ruling by the Speaker of the House of Commons, MPs are now only able to request gallery tickets for people they know personally. Therefore, tickets to ministerial and prime minister's questions cannot be issued. Sorry for this inconvenience.
It is still possible for members of the public to watch debates from the Strangers' (Public) Gallery by joining the queue outside St Stephen's Entrance. A wait of 1 or 2 hours is common during the afternoons. Generally speaking, after ticket holders have left the Gallery and the afternoon queue has been cleared, there is not, except during controversial debates, too much pressure on places in the Gallery. Visitors who wish to minimise waiting times should therefore arrive at about 13.00 or later. The House of Commons Information Office can advise what is to be debated.
The Strangers' Gallery is open to the public when the House is sitting, which is usually:
• 14.30 - 22.00 or later on Mondays & Tuesdays
• 11.30 - 19.00 on Wednesdays & Thursdays
• 09.30 - 15.00 on sitting Fridays

Sweet crude is driving a lot of the truck traffic in oil country, but a new business offers to pump up fuel options in a rural area.
The majority of vehicles along highway 85 are trucks.
Although there are a number of new businesses popping up in Watford City, there's a new travel center now open for business in a more rural setting.
The Sweet Crude Travel Center has been open for a week now.
It's located near the Highway 85/Highway 200 intersection, just a few miles from Grassy Butte.
Sweet Crude offers gas, diesel--fresh produce--and a flame resistant brand of clothing.
One of the owners says being out in the middle of nowhere has been a challenge.
They had to develop their own utilities to offer showers and a laundromat.
But the busy intersection serves as a great one stop shop for food, clothing and fuel.
One of the owners, Gary Emineth, also says in the spring they will be developing a man camp--on the backside of the property.

How A Single, Integrated Human Capital Management Solution Helped Jump-Start The Flow Of Critical HR Information
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The HR organization of a large worldwide oil and gas company had reached the level of saturation after years of rapid growth through acquisition and hence was unable to deliver on key service and strategy goals. It realized that it needed an integrated system for managing HR information for its entire global operations - one that enabled better decision making by delivering clear, compatible information. Just as important, such a system would have to be supported by a range of standard processes, tools and controls, shared throughout the organization, to ensure that it delivered the most business value. It selected Oracle's Human Capital Management (HCM) solution since it enabled the company to record, administer and analyze HR data on a global basis. The HCM solution was an integrated solution and meant to replace the broad range of systems in operation around the world. With a single solution in place, the company would benefit from standard processes, tools, and controls that would speed the path toward seamless system integration around the world. Deloitte worked with this client to help them in their efforts to tailor the powerful capabilities of the solution to fit their unique needs. Facing an aggressive 18-month timeline, with Deloitte's help, the company implemented the first phase of this solution on schedule, around the world. As a result, the client's HR team now enjoys access to a wealth of integrated Human Capital data, facilitating improved decision-making and more efficient operations.

Amy Elliott
"The Southern Martha Stewart of Engineering"
Age: 26
Location: Blacksburg, VA
Occupation: Ph.D. Student, Researcher for 3D Printing Lab
Education: BS in Mechanical Engineering, Currently in school for Ph.D.
This Virginia mech-head calls herself the Martha Stewart of engineering because she can do it all. She's pursing a PhD in mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech and has already amassed a ton of experience in the machine shop, with mechanical design and in robotics competitions.
After serving as an apprentice machinist for 6 months, she used her metalworking skills to build robots, spending several years with First Robotics and NASA Robotics Academy. She also worked for NASA Marshall Space Flight Center for three years, where she designed and machined an experimental setup to test bearings.
Her current Ph.D work deals with rapid prototyping technologies; so she knows how to design and build extremely fast. Amy is undoubtedly smart, but she doesn't take herself too seriously, describing herself as "hilarious, loving, dynamic, talkative... sometimes a baby and sometimes the boss... but always Southern."

Need Older PC Parts...Memory, HD's!
Posted Sep 14, 2008 8:26 AM
Well, I've started out going through my pile of old shop pc's that I've had laying around. As it turns out I've got some decent machines that I can use for upgrading my mill pc and my mame cabinet, but I'm short a few parts of getting them up and running.
I'm in need of
PC100/133 memory. I've got 128 chips, but am looking for something in the more the 512 or 1gb range.
I also need a few relatively smaller sized hard drives. Looking for something IDE in 20gb or larger.
I guess while I'm at it, I could use some pc2700 or 3200 if anyone has any extra!
Let me know what you've got. I can do cash, trades for paintball stuff or vinyl decals??
I'm not looking to spend too much, but do want to get these things going, so let me know what you've got.

Methuen, Mass. driver killed in I-95 rollover in Portsmouth
According to New Hampshire State Police, the accident happened about 9:49 p.m. and involved a single vehcile.
"Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2006 Chevy HHR sedan, being driven by William Lasonde, age 63, of Methuen, Mass., was traveling northbound on Interstate 95. The vehicle left the right side of the roadway, struck a guardrail, and rolled over multiple times," Troop A said in a statement. "As a result, Lasonde was ejected from the vehicle. Lasonde was transported to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries."
This accident occurred in the right median area separating Interstate 95 northbound and the Exit 5 exit ramp. A portion of the right travel lane was closed for approximately two hours as Troopers investigated.
Assisting New Hampshire State Police at the scene were both the Portsmouth Police Department and the Portsmouth Fire Department.
This accident remains under investigation by Trooper Scott Garton. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Garton at (603) 223-8490.

I was sitting on one island, trying to draw another one. It was a sad day because the snow was melting and I barely made it to the island (or so I thought) because the ice was so thin. Some kind of winter.
I was concentrating on shading the one side of the island in my drawing when a snowflake dropped on my paper. I tried to look really close and notice the real shape of it. I haven't spent much time one on one with a snowflake, and this seemed like a good time to try to understand the shape. I kept drawing and redrawing, and the snowflakes kept coming, ruining my drawing. The drawing was getting blacker and blacker with my many layered attempts to sketch the damn things. I wasn't upset, but only so curious and excited to find a basic shape to these snowflakes that I think are different than those I got to know as a kid in the midwest.
So here is the black Finnish snowflake.

hmm, warrants further research.
By the way, scientists in Troy, NY just created the blackest substance known to man, out of carbon nanotubes. If you shine a laser on it, the laser beam disappears...

Roethlisberger: Haley and I had an incident in Denver, I walked away
"From the day Todd Haley was hired as the Steelers' offensive coordinator, questions have been raised about whether he and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger would get along. Roethlisberger says for the most part, they've gotten along just fine — but he does admit there was one "incident" between them."

Jackson residents are getting tips on how to go green this week.
The city kicked off their city-wide energy efficiency program Wednesday at the Mississippi Arts Center.
Residents are being given kits that have energy saving light bulbs and information on what they can do in their home to reduce their utility bills.
Residents are also receiving resources on how to lower carbon emissions, to reduce their carbon imprint on the environment.
The program is made possible through a $1.17 million grant from the stimulus program.
"It's going to allow participants to gain invaluable info and resources that will show them how to reduce their utility cost and dramatically decrease carbon emissions this not only helps with households bottom line but it goes a long way in helping our environment as well," said Mayor Harvey Johnson.
Low income residents can also apply for vouchers worth up to $700 to buy new energy efficient air conditioners, refrigerators and water heaters.
The program runs Thursday at the Mississippi Arts Center from 10:30am to 3:30pm.

To his final day, Jon Soderberg was a man who thought of others before himself.
If you had a problem at your farm or house, he was there. If you mentioned your lawn mower wasn't working, Soderberg might show up at your house with his lawn mower to help out, said Eric Roberson, who worked with Soderberg through the Caledonia Conservancy.
"If you want to look at the definition of a good neighbor, Jon was it," Roberson said. "He was just, in my estimation, what makes a community."
Even in his last weeks, when many others would have been fulfilling their bucket list, Soderberg was tending to the needs of his family to ensure they were taken care of after he passed.
Now, those who knew him best are hoping the community can return the favor.
A benefit for the family of Soderberg, who died Dec. 20 after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer, is set for 5 to 11 p.m. Saturday at the Roundabout Restaurant, in the North Star Banquet Hall at 5844 Douglas Ave.
The event features silent auction baskets, raffles, a live auction, live music, dancing and a cash bar. Tickets are $15, which includes food, beverage and dessert. Donations are also accepted at Educator's Credit Union in Soderberg's name.
Soderberg was a homicide investigator in Racine for 31 years. After retirement, he was active in Caledonia village government and served on the board for the Caledonia Conservancy Land Trust.
Despite three-plus decades dealing with the worst side of society, Soderberg never let that affect him, Roberson said. He wasn't cynical. He still saw the good in people.
He showed Roberson, himself a former officer with the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, how to live as a retired cop. Sometimes retired officers can be withdrawn and guarded, but Soderberg was never like that, Roberson said.
He was also a key asset to the Caledonia Conservancy Board, Roberson said. He listened to all sides of an issue, often played devil's advocate and commanded the attention of the room whenever he spoke.
"He had the respect of everyone," Roberson said.
"He was really great people."
Joe Weinzatl met Soderberg around 2000. They worked together on the Caledonia Conservancy cleaning trails and building jumps.
"Every time we did a set of jumps, we did a good job on them. We believed that it was going to be our legacy," Weinzatl said.
Soderberg said a lot in a few words, Weinzatl said. He was quiet most of the time, but when he would say something people listened.
"I can see why the police department regarded him so highly," Weinzatl said.
Soderberg's wife, Sue, called Weinzatl two days before Soderberg passed away. Sue told Weinzatl she thought he should come and talk to Jon.
"When I went there, he was pretty well out of it. He did open his eyes. I told him I'd help Sue with the farms. He was really a man of his word—when he said something, he'd do it… I believed in doing the same," Weinzatl said.
"He liked the boarding stable. It was his relaxation—he'd sit in his porch swing and he'd sit out and watch the horses grazes, loved working with them … He got a lot of peace there."
Roberson saw no greater gauge of Soderberg's life than when his granddaughter sang "Amazing Grace" in front of a big crowd at the memorial service.
"She couldn't have been much more than 9 years old," Roberson said. "I thought to myself ... you can tell how much he inspired his grandkids."
For more information on Saturday's benefit, call (262) 412-1556 or (262) 705-3715 and check out the event's Facebook page.

Office 365 for Students - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I access my email and calendar?
To access your Office 365 account for email and calendaring:
- Go to www.outlook.com/my.ndsu.edu
- Log in with your NDSU email address (typically firstname.lastname@example.com) and password
If your attempt to log in fails and you receive an error message:
- Click the link to sign out of your account
- Type www.outlook.com/my.ndsu.edu into your Web browser address bar and hit enter (Note: You might need to clear your Web browser history first to get to the Office 365 login page.)
- When the Office 365 login page appears, enter your email address and password to log in
If you forget your password, call 231-8685 (option 1) or visit the NDSU IT Help Desk.
What should I do if I forget my password?
If you forget your NDSU email account password, call 231-8685 or visit the IT Help Desk, and they will help you reset it.
If you need to reset your password to access your files in OneDrive, go to: https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx.
Keep in mind, changing your Office 365 password will not change your OneDrive password, or vice versa. Password changes and resets must be done separately for each account.
How do I access my OneDrive?
If you used OneDrive to store and share documents and other files, you will be able to retain access to those files after the upgrade by logging in to your new personal Microsoft account at www.onedrive.com.
You can log in using your NDSU email address (typically email@example.com) and password. If you forget your OneDrive password, go to: https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx
Why do I have two accounts?
The previous email system, NDSU Live, provided access to email, calendaring, and OneDrive for file storage and sharing. Because Microsoft's Office 365 system does not currently include OneDrive, your Live account became two separate accounts after the upgrade to Office 365:
- Office 365 for email and calendaring
- Personal Microsoft account that retains access to files stored in OneDrive
Will my account include access to Lync and SharePoint?
Student accounts in Office 365 include email and calendaring only. Access to files stored in OneDrive can be retained after the migration using your personal Microsoft account at www.onedrive.com.
Student accounts will not include access to Microsoft Lync or SharePoint until those accounts are merged into the NDSU employee instance of Office 365. The N.D. University System anticipates merging student and employee accounts into the same instance of Office 365 during the upcoming academic year.
I already have an Office 365 account. Will this upgrade affect my current Office 365 account?
No. NDSU student accounts will be in a separate instance of Office 365. If you have another Office 365 account, it will not be affected by this upgrade. The N.D. University System anticipates merging all employee and student accounts across the University System into one instance of Office 365 during the upcoming academic year.

I'm bleeding from the bum again~~?
Mkay so about 4 months ago I mentioned a question on here about extreme (extreme!!) pain in my bum while poopin'. Hurt so much I had to clench my teeth to keep from shouting about it. Can't move either. The poop didn't hurt, but rather my -bum- hurt, it's difficult to explain. That doesn't really happen too often, though. Once a month, if that.
But now for the past several poops I've been bleedin' with them. They don't hurt at all, and are soft to pass. No strain on my end just poop. :P Kind of alarming, and embarrasing to think I may have a hemorriod. What do you think?
What causes those damn things anyways?

Could be a hemorrhoid or something else.Anytime there is bleeding from the rectum a Doctor should be seen.
It's probably hard poops that caused a hemorroid that caused all this. It takes time to heal so it doesn't bleed or hurt. You should probably be using medicine for the pain and make sure you eat lots of fiber so it doesn't happen again. Or it could be a little tare called a fisher I believe and it will take a long time to heal and is very painful each time you poop. Either way make sure your poop is soft for a long time so things can heal and if it keeps up you can see a Dr. who can give pain medicine you can put back there that is much better then the over the counter stuff. It's a long process so I would get the best pain medicine I could be seeing a Dr. Switch to all wheat bread/products and soft food for a long time, even using fiber suppliments so it heals. Once this happens you will have to prevent this from happening again and again. I know it's embarrassing but most people go through this at some time and Dr.'s deal with this all the time!
Go see a doctor.
Don G
The symptoms are definitely those of an internal hemorrhoid, but you need to see your doctor to make absolutely sure. In most cases, your doctor will send you to a specialist and he'll put (no kidding) a rubber band around the hemorrhoid. That will deprive it of blood and it will eventually die and slough off when you move your bowels (along with the rubber band). Normally, surgery is not needed for a solitary hemorrhoid.
You're right..you might have hemorroids and another thing is...You might have an ulcer if its associated with abdominal pain.... This is dangerous... You should really consider seeing a doctor about these symptoms ans maybe get a colonoscopy or endoscopy done to be certain.
Intense straining causes hemorroids to drop from your rectum (most pregnant women, and heavy lifters get them), and there are other causes as well.
There are several possibile reasons for your hemorraging. GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you don't have a doctor, go to the emergency room. The longer you go without getting the help you need, the worst your condition will get.
I hope you feel better soon.
Not to scare u or anything, but this could be serious. It could be signs of early colon cancer. there could be a small tumor in ur intestine, and so when the 'poop' passes by, it tears at it causing it to bleed, which u happened to notice. Its not anything to be embarrased about, its medicine!:) . I advise u to see a doctor as soon as possible. U might be asked to give a stool sample, which they analyse and find the exact cause.
U also could bleed if u eat alot of spicy food.
Of course all of the above are guesses, but go to the doctor just to be sure. Good Luck!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
New York's philanthropists always seem to have a new, inventive cause to get behind and an inventive party to throw for it. So when do-gooders were invited to a saloon-themed shindig in New York's oldest surviving synagogue for the unbuilt, underground Lowline park, nobody so much as batted an eye.
The dream of co-founders Dan Barasch and James Ramsey, Lowline will become the world's first underground park and public space. For now, it's an abandoned trolley terminal underneath what is roughly Delancey and Essex streets on the Lower East Side. Barasch told Style.com: "At this point it's about working with the incoming mayor's administration, raising private capital, and making it happen. We're probably about five years away from a Lowline existing."
The station dates back to Prohibition, so last night's party at the Orensanz Center was a throwback of sorts, complete with saloon girls, sideshow acts, and bathtub gin. One period-dressed porter approached every guest during cocktail hour and whispered that it was time for dinner. When he got to Karlie Kloss, the man considered her height and found a valise to stand on so he could reach the model's ear.
The Lowline is a cause exciting enough to get Diane von Furstenberg, Edward Norton, and Mark Ruffalo on board. Lena Dunham's enthusiasm was apparent: "I'm so excited, an underground park!" Opening Ceremony's Humberto Leon, a longtime resident of the area, added, "I can't wait. This is really going to change the landscape of downtown." If the results are anything compared to how the High Line has changed the West Side, Leon might just be right.

PRINCETON -- The Princeton Public Library Board of Directors announced the appointment of Brittany Rothausen to the position of Library Director. Effective August 1, Ms. Rothausen will assume the position vacated by retiring Director, David Shumate.
Ms. Rothausen, who holds a Master's Degree in Information and Library Science from the University of Tennessee, is a long-time library employee who has served as the Children's and Youth Services Librarian for the last two years.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve our patrons in this capacity," said Rothausen, a life-long Mercer County resident. Rothausen named the development of innovative library programs and services as a priority for the library moving forward. "I want members of our community to be proud of their library, and I feel the best way to accomplish that is through excellent services and a commitment to growth."

Donated blood is screened first for several diseases like HIV and hepatitis, but the system is not perfect. For example, there is currently no screening for West Nile. But now, researchers at the University of Florida are trying to purify blood by adding a chemical to donated bags which targets the genetic material of bacteria and viruses. The technology is called Pathogen Inactivation, but is it safe? That is what researchers at the University of Florida are trying to find out.
"The treatment is designed to interfere with the ability of all these materials to successfully live and reproduce," says William Spotnitz, Thoracic Surgery.
Doctors say they are excited about the potential for Pathogen Inactivation. It is now under review by the FDA. If the safety studies go well, the word is it could be approved by 2004.

Excellent read. Really clears up the current free agency situation for the Wolves. I hope everything Wolfson is saying is true, and it is a relative certainty that the Wolves end up with Hill and Stiemsma in addition to Roy and Shved. I also hope that Lee is their next top SG/SF target after Batum and that the price is indeed right. In my opinion, Brewer is not a close second because of his lack of offensive prowess. Also - Scola would have been nice and I would say that we missed out, but I don't think we need him.
I think it's safe to say that Love and the fanbase are on the exact same page. I also think Love did a great job being diplomatic during the interview while still getting his point across.
As most of us probably expected, Jamal Crawford is opting out of the second year of his contract with the Blazers. Now, most of us would probably agree that Jamal Crawford isn't the answer at SG for the Wolves, but how interested should they be in him as a backup SG/sixth man? The question for me is defense and offensive efficiency. I'm sure most of you have similar concerns. Perhaps at $5 million or so a year, he just isn't worth it.
Yahoo!/DraftExpress has us taking Terrence Ross at 18. I like that a lot better than taking Royce White, honestly. Though we could certainly use depth at PF and C, we need a wing in the worst way possible, as everyone knows.
Kelly Dwyer actually has some insightful analysis for us...for once.

I personally feel that they should at least put out a press statement about the whole issue and say what they are doing to resolve it. What you people think?

Regular Season Preview: The Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals had a very bad 2008 to say the least. They finished with the worst record in the MLB, and didn't get consistency out of any one player all year long. The Nats decided that they needed to add some power to the lineup, so they went out and made Mark Teixeira a very large offer. Rumors say that it was more than 200 million! However, Tex decided he would rather be on a winning team, so he opted for the Yankees' offer. It might have been a good thing, though, because the team signed Adam Dunn for 2 years, 20 million, a huge bargain. Dunn will bring nearly the same offensive production as Teixeira and comes at a much cheaper price. He will add a very big bat to the Washington lineup. The Nationals added a couple of nice role players when they traded Emilio Bonifacio and others to the Marlins for Scott Olson and Josh Willingham. They also cut Tim Redding and signed Daniel Cabrera to take his place.
Unfortunately, this team has about a 3% chance of competing. Unless a lot of young players step up big time, and unless the Phillies, Mets, Braves, and Marlins all have a lot of injuries, the Nats don't have a chance. The goal for this year's National team should be to win 70 games, a large improvement from the year before. Keep on building young talent, maybe sign a free agent or two in the offseason, and aim for competing in 2011, or 2012. Maybe 2010 if they show a big improvement this year.
Sorry Nats fans, but 2009 won't be much better than the last.

Someday soon it would be nice if the Nats fans had something to cheer about.
If they can decide what to do with all those outfielders, they could have a pretty good home run hitting team on their hands. Elijah Dukes is healthy, and can hit the cover off the ball. People forget about his first games as a pro in Yankee Stadium when he hit that moon shot.
Nats have more troubles above the field than on it right now. Jim Bowens might be out of a jib by the weekend after the payola situation might be traced back to the front office. Hopefully he will jump on the sword ( not for real ) and end all of this off the field drama.

I am altering my approach from position specific to a more balanced attempt to grab as much total talent for as many positions as possible. With the arrival of Andrew Luck, he will need some nice new toys to play with. I take a slightly unconventional approach to supplying those toys, whereas I don't take a wide receiver until I pick three of them in later rounds. However, I do grab a tight end fairly early, and one that can handle in-line blocking as well as provide Mr. Luck with a big target that can make plays.
1- QB- Andrew Luck : 6-4; 234; 4.67 Stanford - I know . . .I took Luck . . .nice job ! There is absolutely no way that we do not take him and not look back for the next 15 years.
2- SS-Harrison Smith : 6-2; 213; 4.56 Notre Dame - Tom Zbikowski is a quality backup and excellent special teams ace who also provides leadership and experience in Pagano's defense. However, we need a true starting caliber strong safety to allow Bethea to play center field and make big plays. Mike Mayock really has taken to this kid, and so have I.
3-TE- Orson Charles : 6-2; 251;4.70 Georgia - I know he has had some off-field issues, but I don't think they are sufficient to scare off Grigson and Pagano. This guy can block as well as be an athletic play-maker for Luck. He did 36 reps of 225 lbs at the Combine. I like the thought of him and Brody in a two tight end formation. Equally strong at run blocking as pass catching. More overall value here than an early wide receiver.
4- NT- Josh Chapman : 6-1; 319;5.20 Alabama- Still recovering from ACL surgery and might be a tad slow rolling into the 2012 season, but should come on strong as the year progresses to eventually allow Brandon Mckinney more sideline time and be a major contributor in the d-line rotation.
5-CB-Keith Tandy: 5-10; 202; 4.48 West Virginia- Has been in Indy recently for a looksee. I think he is the tough, physical bigger kind of cornerback Pagano favors. I think he is perfect for The Monster !
5-comp-OG-Joe Looney:6-3; 309; 5.02 Wake Forest- Another talented blocker that is better today as a run blocker, but athletic and smart enough to respond to some good coaching. Should be a solid addition to the talent pool along the o-line. Gotta protect Luck and open holes for the backs.
6-comp- WR-Derek Moye: 6-4; 209;4.52 Penn St.- Lousy quarterbacking held him back from posting much better numbers. Mr. Luck will love his size in the red zone, especially.
7- WR-Jermaine Kearse: 6-1; 209;4.58 Washington- Very similar to Derek Moye in that he lacked the quality of quarterback that could get him the ball more often. Luck can get him the ball.
7-trade-WR-Chris Owusu: 6-0; 196; 4.36 Stanford- Well, I may not have picked up Fleener, but at least I did draft one of Andrew's old college wide receivers. Maybe he'll hold on to the next 70 yard spiral Luck throws him. 4.36 speed is pretty attractive, too.
7-comp- ILB-Korey Williams:6-2; 243; 4.66 Southern Miss.- Still recuperating from knee injury in senior season. Was on track to be a mid-round selection. Instinctive, physical, athletic tackling machine that seems to me to be an excellent Mr. Irrelevant that could quite possible make the roster and contribute to the building of The Monster !
I know there's strong sentiment to take a WR with the 34th pick. My thinking is to get Luck some new toys with lower picks this year, and next year with a top 10 pick (in all likelihood) snag that Pro Bowl caliber talent at wide receiver. Odds are at least one of the three I took in late rounds can play a lick.
Well, that's my mock draft 3.0. I await your input. Go Colts !

Profiles in Dick Jokes
June 5, 2012 § Leave a comment
Hey look, here are two articles about my research! One was for Fast Company, written by Nidhi Subbaraman; I describe trolling in terms of water facets and glasses of water. Sure!
"Trolls are symptomatic–there's not doubt about that–and by dealing with just the system, you're not dealing with the underlying cause," she says. "Let's deal with our problems first, and then more than likely, you turn that faucet of hatred off and there's going to be fewer trolls holding up their water glasses."
The other is for Inside Oregon, written by Matt Cooper; I declare my affinity for troublemakers (WHO ME??) and describe trolls as the salt in one's soup. Sure, again!
But Phillips argues that trolls reflect the content, ideas and customs that society already embraces. The Internet makes visible what already exists in a culture, Phillips said, and trolls work off that content.
"Trolls are like the salt on your soup," she said. "They bring out the stuff that's already there."
Cool stories! But seriously. It's odd to give interviews about trolling, especially when I'm explaining things on the fly (I have a penchant for mixed and otherwise unlikely metaphors). No matter what I say or how I say it, I feel like I could have given a better soundbite. OH WELL, life is hard.
Update: Yes soup. EAT IT. EAT IT ALL.
Interview with a Troll
May 28, 2012 § 30 Comments
Recently I was approached by a newspaper reporter (who shall remain nameless) about a possible article on trolling. I agreed under the condition that I could talk about the importance of defining one's terms. I was also asked to put the reporter in touch with a troll. I asked "Brian Macnamara," who sometimes trolls under the name Paulie Socash (further info on Paulie here). In the end, the paper wasn't able to run the piece (perhaps unsurprisingly, given Brian's responses), but I asked for permission to post his answers.
How long have you been trolling for?
This depends on how one defines trolling, which few seem to know how to do and I hope you at least attempt to in the article. Really, I could ask a journalist the same thing given the similarities between what trolls and journalists do online. The goals are very much alike: to draw public attention to something (often without a full knowledge of it because that's not the point) and invoke an emotional response from the public. Journalism that misinterprets things, fails to get the full story, or is deliberately provocative gets angry or otherwise impassioned responses, right? From where I sit, this is done deliberately to get more attention/page views. Same basic model as trolling. Trolls do it for the lulz. Journalists for a paycheck.
What exactly do you do – please give examples if you can (in broad terms if you don't want to ID yourself)
This depends a lot on when and where (ie, what platform/space). Right now I'm not very active. One thing is that trolling really should be done in public: message boards, comment sections, social media sites, etc. Posting on a person's facebook wall isn't really trolling, and trolling isn't the same as "cyber-bullying." Base level trolling is just interjecting unwanted/controversial opinions one probably doesn't even hold into a community that will react to them: pretty much any forum that isn't regulated all the time has trolls of some sort. It's not a new phenomenon at all.
I personally concentrate on making spaces that troll people and where this basic trolling can happen: these usually relate to whatever is sensational in the media. To use a UK example, if you recall Raoul Moat, I made facebook pages memorializing him after his death and saying what a great man he was. These drew a lot of angry people who couldn't believe someone would pay tribute to a murderer. The ironic thing here is that I would actually get death threats from people mad about someone saying nice things about a killer. Likewise, I've made sites that condemn people for things most are praising them for (I didn't make it, but the facebook page "Soldiers are not heroes" is a good example).
Who have you targeted and why?
In general, I target earnest people. People who take what they do online far too seriously. Grief tourists, for example, who are individuals who seek out the latest media-sensationalized death and grow far too attached to it as if showing "respect" for some random dead person (usually white, young, attractive, media-friendly) fulfills emotional needs. The kind of people who care way too much about Natalee Holloway or Chelsea King or about catching the kid in the viral video who was mean to a cat via posting their opinions and heartfelt emotional rants online.
Obviously targets are also chosen based on political leaning and the like. I once trolled a bunch of Klansmen by acting like one of them and joining their communities to start, then acting like I changed my mind and creating a "former Klan for racial equality" site. They were targeted because they were earnest, stupid, and easy marks, but also because I hate racists (even if I sometimes play one on the internet). It may be just for the lulz, but nearly every self-identified troll I have ever interacted with has certain tendencies (and limits) that are part of their "real" persona.
Why do you troll? Why did you start?
For the lulz. Because people who are overly earnest and serious online deserve and need a corrective. I started because there was no way to have rational conversations with some people and because I like to debate things. But there's also a time to just say, You are an idiot, which is the most basic, entry level of trolling and most honest people will admit they have done it.
What does it feel like when you've successfully trolled somebody?
Feels good, man. Probably a lot like breaking a news story that exposes some idiot politician or public figure who groped his masseuse. You are drawing attention to some other person's failings. For me the goal isn't the individual, though, it is the overall public reaction. It's about controlling the outcome and the presentation of an event.
Could you tell me some details about yourself? Even if it was something like your gender and age range then that would be helpful.
I'm 30ish, male, college educated, gay, employed, and I do not live in my mom's basement. I even lift weights.
Do you think trolling is fair game, or do you think it's unjustified?
Of course it's fair game. All the internet is a game. Unjustified and unfair would only be if the targets can't just walk away, which is where the difference between trolling and bullying/harassment and where the legal difference is or should be. Saying mean things is often justified and necessary, and expectations of decorum online are ridiculous.
Do you ever think about the impact on the people who are on the receiving end of trolling?
Sure, they are willingly joining the party. Only those who choose to be trolled can be trolled. And hopefully they learn to not be such fools in public about whatever the thing they care too much about is.
I also think quite a bit about the victims of real, criminal problems like sexual predators, stalkers, etc. online and am baffled as to why people and the media get so worked up over trolling.
Last thoughts: the use of "trolls" by the media is way too broad and people need to define it better. The poor disabled girl whose image was used by people making offensive pictures and has been in the media a bunch was not "trolled" (though her mom probably was since for being an idiot): she was not the target of the meme, just a convenient photo to use. Likewise, people who are bullied online by classmates under fake names are not being trolled. Trolling is a art and not a crime.
Good News Everyone!

Facebook just bought Instagram for one hundred krillion dollars. This is excellent news, people are already very excited! No really, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. "Like" that in your "like" button and "like" it! Because nothing bad ever happens when an entire economic sector becomes dependent on the solvency of a single corporate entity. NOTHING BAD AT ALL. Certainly not the possibility that Facebook will soon saturate every possible market, then in its inevitable decline pull the rest of the cyber-circus tent down with it. Nope, some things are too big to fail, like the banking or auto industries!
In conclusion, good job Zuck! You have just surpassed the lovely Samantha Brick as honorary troll of the week.

"The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House"
July 22, 2011 § 1 Comment
Oh man. As many of you know, nothing brings me greater joy than a well-executed political troll. The kind of troll that goes far beyond "tits or GTFO" or "lol your dead" or "ZOMG ZOMG RULES 1 & 2″ or whatever other boiler-plate trolling response. Political trolling, take-no-prisoners trolling, really can be a art. See Stephen Colbert's utterly masterful White House Correspondent's Dinner reception speech; see audre lord's study in honeybadger badassery, "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House." In a nutshell, there was this conference, see? Focused on feminism and how important it is for women to Stand Together as One. audre lord, a token black-gay-former poor, was invited to speak (she was a black person people knew!), and took the opportunity to smack the proverbial shit out of her audience. She was like listen. It's real great all you middle-class white ladies are so eager to make the world a better place for women. The problem is that by "women" you mean "white middle-class women." So when you talk about "female solidarity" you're actually not including the interests or acknowledging the differences between groups of women. You tolerate these differences, sure. You even devote whole special journal issues to Third World Feminism! But this is little more than celebratory, uncritical pandering which shields you from ever having to examine the ways in which your own life choices impact lesbians and/or women of color and/or poor people. "If white American feminist theory need not deal with the differences between us," she says, not giving a shit, "and the resulting difference in our oppressions, then how do you deal with the fact that the women who clean your houses and tend your children while you attend conferences on feminist theory are, for the most part, poor women and women of Color? What is the theory behind racist feminism?" So– devote all the Special Issues you want; however noble your intentions, you are effectively silencing difference, difference –and not solidarity– being the only way to break the chains of oppression. Hence "the master's tools." You can't commit the same indignities as the assholes in charge and expect to be anything but a perfect carbon-copy embodiment of that which you profess to abhor.
And, scene. [crickets]
I can only imagine what the audience's response to this speech must have been. It's beautiful –verging on art, even– because they would have no choice but to sit there and take it; any protestation could be construed as evidence of lorde's claims. Just. Fucking. Brilliant.
In terms of the exams, golly. I somewhat doubt my examiner will go the "social change" route — but if she does, this will be the framing text. And actually connects to an idea I was kicking around this morning on my run, about cyberbullying. Not that I'll be sharing here, it's locked safely in my dissertation dream-journal. But just so everyone knows. I have a plan.

GOSHEN — A new all-campus band will provide a fresh musical outlet for Goshen College students starting in the fall of 2014, organizers say. The band, which will be a non-auditioned ensemble, will perform in concert as well as serve as a pep band for select athletic and other campus events.
The all-campus band is designed to provide new opportunities for wind, brass and percussion musicians. Christopher Fashun, assistant professor of music, will direct the band.
"I am incredibly enthusiastic about the Goshen College all-campus band," Fashun said. "Over the past couple of years, I have come to realize that we have several students who play wind and percussion instruments that come from excellent high school band programs. The all-campus band will provide these students a creative and fun outlet to continue their participation in music with a time commitment that can be balanced with students' other academic responsibilities."
In addition to the all-campus band, Fashun conducts the Symphony Orchestra, oversees the music education program and teaches applied percussion. Fashun holds a bachelor of music degree in music education from Saint Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., where he studied conducting and viola. He received his master's degree in percussion performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and holds a doctor of musical arts in orchestral conducting from the University of Iowa.
Fashun's conducting experience includes leading orchestras and wind bands at the high school and middle school levels and directing jazz ensembles, percussion ensembles and drumlines at the high school level. He is a clinician with middle and high school orchestras, percussionists and jazz ensembles, and frequently serves as an adjudicator for large group music festivals.
Chris French will replace Fashun as the new director of Lavender Jazz, Goshen College's big band, which will continue as a music department ensemble. French, an active jazz and classical musician in this region, teaches saxophone and clarinet at the college and will also coach jazz combos in his role.
