Chris Matthews Slams 'Evil' Rush Limbaugh for Spreading Climate Change 'Lies'
A frothing Chris Matthews on Wednesday excoriated Rush Limbaugh as "evil" for spreading "lies" about global warming.
The Hardball host highlighted a new Rolling Stone article by Al Gore that chides Barack Obama for not doing enough on climate change.
Matthews, however, chose to attack Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh: "These people are evil in what they're doing. I'm not saying their souls are evil, but what they're doing is really, really wrong and it's not the President." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
The MSNBC host declared no room for debate on global warming, announcing, "But here is a fact on the table. Global warming, climate change, Rush Limbaugh says stuff that...is just not true. I never use the word lie, but it's appropriate here."
Piling on, Matthews accused Limbaugh of being disingenuous: "Rush Limbaugh is not a stupid person. Glenn Beck is not stupid. They're saying it on purpose."
After calling Limbaugh "evil," Matthews compared him to a raging inferno: "Churchill, my hero, said this once, 'I refuse to be impartial between the fire brigade and the fire.' The President is the fire brigade on this. He may not be the greatest fire brigade, but damn it, he's not the fire. Glenn Beck is. Rush Limbaugh is the fire."
"Evil" is a term Matthews likes to throw around. He previously used the word on Newt Gingrich and mocked him for looking like "the devil."
[Thanks to MRC intern Alex Fitzsimmons for the video.]
A partial transcript of the segment can be found below:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, what do you think is the problem? The Republican Party are basically aligning themselves as anti-science, with some exceptions like Huntsman. They're willing to go out there and say they believe the world is about 5,000 years old. They basically go back to fundamentalist views about creationism and they really don't have any problem being anti-science. Isn't that really the problem? Not that Gore has a problem with Obama? Where's the problem with climate change? Isn't it that half the country is being sold nonsense?
MATTHEWS: Have we ever had a time where one side is willing to just say something- We can argue about wars and there's always issues of values and measuring facts. But here is a fact on the table. Global warming, climate change, Rush Limbaugh says stuff that is just non- well, is just not true. I never use the word lie, but it's appropriate here.
JOAN WALSH: It is, it is.
MATTHEWS: People like, you know, Glenn Beck, I heard him months or years ago on the radio before he was on TV saying there's no climate change, playing, pandering to these business types, pandering to people who don't want to deal with reality. These people are evil in what they're doing. I'm not saying their souls are evil, but what they're doing is really, really wrong and it's not the President. It's this corrupt media on the right. You know, it's corrupt media on the right.
WALSH: Because- It's money. Well, serving the interest-
MATTHEWS: They're making good salaries telling people what they know is not true. Rush Limbaugh is not a stupid person. Glenn Beck is not stupid. They're saying it on purpose.
MATTHEWS: I would just say about our President, and he is our president, on my issues, he's always my President, on some of the big ones like climate change, race, things like that, wars. My belief is this: Churchill, my hero, said this once, I refuse to be impartial between the fire brigade and the fire. The President is the fire brigade on this. He may not be the greatest fire brigade, but damn it, he's not the fire. Glenn Beck is. Rush Limbaugh is the fire. The Chamber of Commerce, the Wall street Journal editorial page, they are the fire. Let's not forget it.

Someone should remind Matthews that Churchill allegedly also once said that, "If you don't vote Labour (Liberal) when you're 20yo. you have no heart. If you don't vote conservative when you're 40yo., you have no brain".

As opposed to Chris Matthews, who IS a stupid person. The fact that he continues to buy into this drivel, notwithstanding the rampant fraud from the global warming community. But then, this guy still fervently buys into Keynesianism as a legitimate economics theory.

Blow it out your tingly leg, Chrissy-boy.
The American people aren't buying your nonsense anymore.
Too many of your beloved 'scientists' have been unmasked as collaborators to Demorats, caught red-handed with their fingers in the cookie jar. 'Hide the decline'? Your dear 'consensus' experts snared in direct and demonstrable lies about the sea level? Moving their thermometers to hotter locations to inflate their numbers? You can't paper over your lies anymore.
The only reason the pretense continues is because your trained chimps are in Washington, desperately trying to prop up the crumbled facade of 'global warming'. Once they are all cast out of office, we can roll back their stupid 'cap and trade' nonsense. We'll re-institute drilling, start making refineries, building power plants and everything else that you morons have been blocking for so long.
Chrissy-boy and all his cohorts will scream about how 'their' country has 'lost its soul', and they'll rage about moving to France or Russia or China. Then they'll remain here as the bitter haters they always have been and always will be.

It is really funny the way they touted the "rise" and now that its the "decline" and they changed the to Global Climate Change. The main thing is don't let the facts get in the way of a good ride. The water level rise is funny as some guy I was arguing with told me the rise and I asked what the historical rise in the last hundred years was and he was silent. I asked him about the last 20, last 10 and still he was silent. People want to believe repeat popular sound bites and do not think. That includes all people ... yes me too.

What Rush failed to mention
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 7:08pm.
I only caught a few minutes of Rush's show today, and heard him talking about Al Gore and how Gore is shifting his focus to "population explosion" and women's so called rights to plan and limit pregnancies so they can reduce the number of children being born. Rush didn't mention this, but it's obvious to me that Gore is hailing back to the clarion call of Eugenics from the late 1800's and early 1900's, that led to massive genocide around the world.
It's easy to see that when Gore talks about limiting the number of babies being born, he is not talking about European or Caucasian babies, who are being born at a rate that barely replaces the population of these groups. If the whole world had zero population growth, Gore wouldn't be commenting on this at all. The only way to stop population growth is to reduce the number of "brown", (non-white), people being born.
I can't believe Rush didn't pick up on this.
(And no, I'm not saying that Gore is in favor of genocide. But the mainstream acceptance of eugenics helped pave the way for the genocide that occurred throughout the 20th century.

I have over the course of the last two years come to the conclusion that we are actually witnessing an attempt by the left wing media, aided by socialist elements in our government,to subvert our laws and Constitution. In days gone by many of these people would be brought up on charges of treason. Some have even been filmed openly calling for the destruction of our country. Labor leaders have publicly stated, that if persuasion was not successful, then force would be relied on. I hope that they don't actually believe that anyone is fooled by their lies. May God have mercy on their souls because I have my doubts about the amount of mercy that will be shown to them by the Citizenry should they take this lame brained farce of theirs too far.

I love it, and so does Rush, when the left uses his name in vain. Publicity is always good when it's used by the Left to attack those of us on the Right, especially the Doctor of Democracy.
You need to calm down Chris. I'm really worried that your anger will increase your blood pressure and affect your heart and your health. Let me make a suggestion to you that works for me. When I'm angry or upset, as when I watch or listen to you, even for a minute, my blood pressure begins to rise. When that occurs, I take a timeout and have a TEA break. TEA is good for the heart and good for the soul. So Chris, when you feel stressed after a day of spewing nonsensical hatred and banality, have some good, healthy TEA.

If, and let's just say this for the sake of argument, IF AGW is real, and as a result there actually IS a preventable climate catastrophe in, say, the next 10-20 years, do you know who I'll blame?
I'll blame the corrupt, idiot scientists who torpedoed their own credibility by abandoning the scientific method because it was deemed "too important" to risk drawing the non-alarmist conclusion.
Of course, I feel very strongly that no such event will occur. But the point is, EVEN IF THEY'RE RIGHT, and even if they're proven right in a SPECTACULAR way, they're still oh so very much in the wrong.

Who is evil?
Submitted by Nonanon on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 11:51pm.
If the consequences were not so serious, this would be hilarious! Someone from the party that builds its platform on breaking most of the Ten Commandments calling someone who disagrees with them (and who has science on his side) evil. Sometimes the thought or perhaps fear of what these people are capable of passes through my head. Many seem to have no qualms with harming those who disagree with them, and since this is another one of their major religious planks, it gives cause for concern. Conservatives consider liberals opponents and try to get them to change their minds or ideas whereas liberals consider conservatives as evil and several have stated their desire that conservatives die or get killed. How long before they refuse to restrain such emotions and act on them?
As for the "anti-science" charge, do they really ever think about what had to happen for evolution to have produced everything? Had a church produced this theory, it would have been laughed out of existence. But they label it science and many people just accept it as truth. To have the planets, stars, sun, and all other pieces of the universe just come into existence with no life, then to have life begin then to have that life mutate into all of the complex chemicals, organs, beings, etc. is such a statistical impossibility. Think about what had to happen to produce such processes as photosynthesis, respiration, digestion, hibernation, vision, hearing, healing, reproduction, migration, etc. Things such as this require so much blind hope that they are beyond faith.

It is really happening. The Pioneer Mother statue located outside the Clare City Middle school (formerly the high school), sitting majestically in the wind, the rain and snow since 1938 is finally getting a facelift. The sculptor, Samuel Cashwan would be pleased. In a "Save Outdoor Sculpture,Michigansurvey, 1993″, the Smithsonian Institution of Washington D.C. noted the sculpture was in dire need of refurbishing.
The Clare County Arts Council took on the task with a fundraiser benefit in September of 2012 to restore the magnificent stone statue which was part of the Depression Era program which paid artists to create art for public facilities.
The Clare high school students in 1936-38 were involved in choosing the subject matter for the statue. In March of 1937 Supt. Kennedy said "We are trying to develop the term "Pioneer" as the name for our athletic teams. This composition would help along that line and would carry plenty of local significance as this town was certainly a pioneer lumbering settlement." Sketches were submitted by Samuel Cashwan and the students chose "The Pioneer Mother", investing money from the senior class fund to help pay for the stone.
The first phase has begun. The initial cleaning and getting rid of the mold is done. It already looks a hundred per cent better. GOSEEIT. It is located in front of theClareMiddle School just three blocks from downtown Clare onState street. The process will work through the winter before the final phase and will be completed and sealed in the spring.
The response from the community has been tremendous. Just a few of the donors: former Clare City Schools superintendent Tom Moline and wife Dawn. Tom remembers looking up at the statue of the lady holding the child. Tom was five. He is now a grandfather. TheClareHigh Schoolclasses of 1951 and 1952 took money out of their slush funds to help. It is not too late to help. Donations are still being accepted by the Clare County Arts Council in a special fund for the statue. The CCAC will cover the cost not covered by donations. Call Carol Santini at989 482-8211or Jane Sartor Key at989 386-7107for more information and mail your donation to CCAC,P.O. Box 412,Clare,MI48617.

System-level design refinement using SystemC
Walstrom, Robert D. (2005) System-level design refinement using SystemC. Masters thesis, Iowa State University.
Full text available as:
Embedded systems have become increasingly complex with the advent of the system-on-a-chip (SOC) era. Today a typical SOC may consist of one or more processor cores, dedicated hardware processing units, peripheral devices, on-chip memories, and the logic for a sophisticated communications network to link all of these components together. In order to deal with the complexity of designing a SOC, designers needed new design languages and tools. System-level design languages (SLDLs) and EDA tools allow designers to manage this complexity by using different levels of abstraction to define and model the system. Several SLDLs have been introduced in recent years, most notably SpecC developed at the University of California, Irvine and SystemC developed by the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI). In some aspects, these SLDLs share the same goals. Both support the ability to model a system at various levels of abstraction and the reuse of intellectual property. However, while SystemC claims the most industry support with a wide variety of supported tools available from major EDA vendors, it lacks a well-defined refinement methodology like that of SpecC. The SpecC refinement methodology leads designers from its highest level of abstraction down to its lowest level of abstraction. While each level of abstraction in SystemC is clearly defined, it is not clear what changes need to be made to convert a design from one level of abstraction to another. In order to facilitate a system-level design approach, SystemC needs well-defined methodology for bringing a model defined at the highest level of abstraction down to the lowest level of abstraction. This thesis presents a top-down refinement methodology for systems modeled in SystemC. Since SystemC has gained widespread industry support, such a methodology would make it easier for designers who use SystemC to refine their design and use the SystemC language as intended by a system-level design approach.

Safety Kenny Phillips will miss the New York Giants upcoming game with the Dallas Cowboys with a sprained MCL. The starter is expected to miss 1-2 weeks.
New York Giants offensive lineman Stacy Andrews will be placed on injured reserve after being hospitalized over the weekend with pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. Giants coach Tom Coughlin said today that the medical issue will end Andrews' season.
"It is a very, very serious medical condition," Coughlin said. "He just can't go back to football right now."
Andrews, in his eighth season, signed with the Giants as a free agent during training camp. The 6-foot-7, 342-pound Andrews has been used as an extra tight end and as a reserve tackle by the Giants.
Coughlin said Andrews would be able to eventually resume playing football, but not this season.
Other Giants injury news:
- The severity of Kenny Phillips' knee injury is not yet known.
- Price Amukamara has an ankel injury of unknown severity
- Center David Baas missed Sunday's game against Green Bay with headaches and Coughlin said today he was undergoing tests and "hopefully it can be gotten under control."
With all of the NFC games for Week 13 in the books the 6-6 New York Giants remain outside the playoffs looking in after losing to the Green Bay Packers, 38-35, on Sunday. The Giants, though, are still very much in the mix for either the NFC East title or a wild-card berth.
The NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys (7-5) lost to the Arizona Cardinals in overtime Sunday, 19-13. That means the Giants are just one game behind Dallas. The Giants and Cowboys meet twice in the season's final four games, including Sunday night in Dallas.
The Giants also watched the three teams ahead of them in the wild-card chase -- the Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions -- all lose on Sunday. Thus, those three teams are just one game in front of the Giants. New York's wild-card problem is the conference record tie-breaker. The Giants are just 3-6 in conference, while all three of those teams are no worse than 5-5.
Division Leaders
Green Bay Packers (12-0) ... clinched Division title
San Francisco 49ers (10-2) ... clinched Division title
New Orleans Saints (8-3)
Dallas Cowboys (7-5)
Wild-Card Teams
Chicago Bears (7-5)
Atlanta Falcons (7-5)
In The Hunt
Detroit Lions (7-5)
New York Giants (6-6)
Let's take a quick look back at the New York Giants' 38-35 loss Sunday to the Green Bay Packers,
It Was Over When
Mason Crosby hit a game-winning 30-yard field goal as time expired to give Green Bay their 18th straight victory.
The Key Play
With the ball at Green Bay's 44-yard line in the final minute Rodgers hit wide receiver Jordy Nelson with a 27-yard pass to New York's 29-yard line, putting Green Bay in field-goal position just two plays after the Giants had tied the game.
On the play, Nelson beat reserve cornerback Will Blackmon to the outside and Rodgers hit him in stride down the left sideline. That, really, was all she wrote for the Giants' chances to pull off the upset.
"We played hard and did a lot of good things but we didn't win. There is no hanging your head, it is a tough business and you have to do the things you have to do to win the game," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. "We have to regroup and I think this brings us together even tighter than we have ever been before as a team. Guys laid it on the line for each other tonight and they played hard."
"I am extremely proud. We fought from the first whistle to the very end. Unfortunately we came up a little bit short but it is fine because we will see them again. We are headed up. We have four games to play and we are going to fight extremely tough. We are going to make it to the postseason. We all know what happens once we get in the postseason. The record eliminates itself and then it's may the best man win from that point on."
"I can't think of another team that really played us this well on both sides of the ball. … I think that the Giants defense did a really good job of getting us out of some stuff and hitting me a number of times. But we just made enough plays at the end to get the job done."
— Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers
The New York Giants did everything they possibly could in an effort to upend the unbeaten Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The one thing they could not do was keep the ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hands in the final minute, and that proved to be their undoing.
Rodgers led the Packers 66 yards in five plays after the Giants had tied the score with 58 seconds remaining, putting the Packers in position for Mason Crosby to kick a game-winning 30-yard field goal as time expired at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Packers are now 12-0 and have won 18 straight games. The Giants are 6-6 and have lost four in a row since beginning the season 6-2.
The Giants had tied the game 35-35 with a clutch drive of their own, going 69 yards in nine plays. Trailing 35-27 Eli Manning connected with Hakeem Nicks on a two-yard touchdown pass, and the Giants converted the two-point attempt on a run by D.J. Ware to tie the game.
Rodgers, though, still had time and that meant the Giants' upset bid would come up short.
A 24-yard pass to Jermichael Finley and a 27-yard pass to Jordy Nelson quickly put the Packers at the Giants' 29-yard line. Three plays later, Crosby kicked the game-winner.
The Giants trailed, 28-17, early in the third quarter but fought back to tie the game. Manning finished the game 23-of-40 for 347 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Unfortunately for the Giants, the interception by Clay Matthews turned in a Pick Six for Green Bay.
Victor Cruz caught seven passes for 119 yards for the Giants, surpassing 1,000 yards receiving for the season. Hakeem Nicks caught seven passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
Rodgers was 28-of-46 for 349 yards with four touchdowns and one interception for Green Bay.
The Giants did catch one break Sunday when the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys lost to the Arizona Cardinals in overtime, 19-13. The 7-5 Cowboys are just one game ahead of the Giants with four games to play.
The two teams meet twice in the final four weeks of the season. The first of those meetings takes place next Sunday night (8:20 p.m. ET) in Dallas. The second will be the final game of the season, Jan. 1, at MetLife Stadium.
The New York Giants trail the Green Bay Packers, 28-24, after three quarters Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
After the Packers took a 21-17 halftime lead into the locker rooms, they started off the second half with the ball. Green Bay put together another impressive time killing 80-yard drive to extend their lead to 28-17. Greg Jennings was ruled to have caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers. Video of the of the catch seems to suggest that ruling was generous, see it here (via SB Nation.com).
The Giants did respond to the controversial Packers touchdown. Hakeem Nicks caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to cut into the Packers lead. After three quarters of action, the Giants are still hanging around with the Packers only trailing 28-24. If the Giants end up losing the game closely, look to that Jennings play that was upheld as a catch to be one of the crucial plays that determined the outcome.

The New York Giants trail the unbeaten Green Bay Packers, 21-17, at halftime of their game Sunday at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Giants 10-7 lead after the first quarter was quickly erased when Eli Manning was pressured and made a bad decision to force the ball to his running back on a checkdown. Clay Matthews anticipated the throw and broke on it and returned the interception 38 yards for a touchdown to give the Packers a 14-10 lead to begin the second quarter.
Chase Blackburn who was just re-signed by the Giants earlier this week intercepted Aaron Rodgers to spark the Giants quick 12-yard touchdown drive to retake the lead 17-14. After the Blackburn interception, Manning found Hakeem Nicks for 11 yards before Brandon Jacobs pounded the ball in from 1 yard out.
The Packers responded with a time consuming 80-yard touchdown drive to retake the lead 21-17. Aaron Rodgers finished it off by finding a wide open Donald Driver for a 13-yard touchdown pass.
The Giants were driving at the end of the half until Clay Matthews hit Manning while he attempted a throw. After a review, the play was confirmed to be a sack and a forced fumble which was recovered by the Packers. Green Bay was unable to turn the fumble into points when their field goal attempt was missed right before halftime.

The New York Giants lead the Green Bay Packers, 10-7, after one quarter of play Sunday at MetLife. Stadium. The Giants started off the game with a quick score on their first possession on a three-play 79-yard drive. The big play on the drive was a 67-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Travis Beckum. The Giants held the Green Bay Packers to just 29 yards on their opening drive.
The Giants second drive was a three and out which the Packers capitalized on with a touchdown drive that took almost three minutes and went 64 yards. Aaron Rodgers threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jermichael Finley to cap the drive.
The Giants responded with a field goal on their next drive. Manning looked like he might have thrown his second touchdown pass of the game to Jake Ballard on the drive but replay confirmed the ruling that Ballard's knee was out of bounds.

The New York Giants were definitely seen as the underdogs coming into their game with the undefeated Green Bay Packers. New York didn't play like they were intimidated by the Packers' success early. The Giants first drive went 79 yards in just 1:36 for a touchdown. Sixty-seven yards of the drive was on Travis Beckum's 67-yard reception. Beckum twisted and shook his way past the last two Green Bay defenders for the touchdown:
Eli Manning made a great throw over the Packers cornerback to Beckum who did the rest of the work for the opening score of the game. Manning was 2/2 on the first drive of the game. His first pass was for 7 yards to Ahmad Bradshaw. Bradshaw also had a 5-yard run before the pass to Beckum.

The New York Giants injury report for their Week 13 match up against the Green Bay Packers is out, and the Giants will be without starting center David Bass. New York will also be without offensive lineman Stacy Andrews who suffered a pulmonary embolisms in both lungs Saturday night.
"Andrews was admitted to the hospital last night with pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. The blood clots are thought to have originated in his legs, broken up and traveled to his lungs.
Ronnie Barnes, the Giants' senior vice president of medical services, said Andrews is receiving treatment and resting in the hospital and will most likely be released ton Monday.
Baas, the Giants starting center, was a late scratch due to heaches. Herzlich (ankle) and Umenyiora (ankle) were not expected to play. It will be interesting to see how the Giants shuffle their offensive line. Kevin Boothe started at left guard last week, but is also the backup center.
Running back Ahmad Bradshaw and linebacker Michael Boley will play. Bradshaw has missed the last four games with a cracked bone in his foot. Boley has missed two games due to a hamstring injury."

All week New York Giants fans kept an eye on the injury status of running back Ahmad Bradshaw, but the focus may change to the health of backup right tackle Stacy Andrews, who suffered a pulmonary embolism in both of his lungs Sunday and is currently receiving treatment. Luckily, Andrew is expected to be released from the hospital Monday.
For those that don't know what a pulmonary embolism is, here's a definition from WebMD:
"Pulmonary embolism is the sudden blockage of a major blood vessel (artery) in the lung, usually by a blood clot . In most cases, the clots are small and are not deadly, but they can damage the lung. But if the clot is large and stops blood flow to the lung, it can be deadly. Quick treatment could save your life or reduce the risk of future problems."
On the Giants depth chart, rookie James Brewer (6-foot-6, 330-pounds) is listed as the next-best option at right tackle.

All week, the injury status of New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw and linebacker Michael Boley has been tracked by SB Nation New York. Well, on Sunday morning on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, reporter Rachel Nichols said that both Bradshaw (foot) and Boley (hamstring) will play against the Green Bay Packers (4:15 p.m. ET on FOX.). ESPN insider Chris Mortensen confirmed Nichols report via Twitter.
On Friday, both Bradshaw, who has missed the last four games, and Boley, who had missed the last two games, practiced. Giants fans are now waiting on the news of wide receiver Mario Manningham, who is listed as doubtful. If Manningham cannot go then backup Victor Cruz will step in as a starter.
As of Saturday, here was the known injury report for both teams:
LB Mark Herzlich (Ankle)...Out
DE Osi Umenyiora (Ankle/Knee)...Out
WR Mario Manningham (Knee)...Doubtful
LB Michael Boley (Hamstring)...Questionable (WILL PLAY)
RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Foot)...Questionable (WILL PLAY)

The New York Giants (6-5) will try and snap the Green Bay Packers (11-0) unbeaten streak Sunday, as this Week 13 NFL match up will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Rutherford, NJ.
There was some good news for the 6-5 New York Giants today as running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) and linebacker Michael Boley (hamstring) returned to the practice field, although both were limited. Bradshaw has missed the last four games and Boley the last two for New York.
There's still hope that Bradshaw and Boley could play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers (11-0). Wide receiver Mario Manningham did not practice today and is listed as doubtful for the game. Without Manningham, that likely means that Victor Cruz will step back into the starting lineup.
Here's the complete injury report from Friday:
LB Mark Herzlich (Ankle)...Out
DE Osi Umenyiora (Ankle/Knee)...Out
WR Mario Manningham (Knee)...Doubtful
LB Michael Boley (Hamstring)...Questionable
RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Foot)...Questionable
The Packers also released their latest injury report today:

Can the 6-5 New York Giants slay the dragon on Sunday? Meaning, of course, can they hand the 11-0 defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers their first loss of the season?
There might not be a "recipe" for beating Green Bay, but every team can be beaten. The Giants, off three straight losses, would seem like an unlikely candidate to pull off that feat. There seems to be a growing opinion among prognosticators, though, that there might be an upset Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The Packers, though, remain a seven-point favorite.
Let's quickly break down the Packers.
On offense, Green Bay is led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is the first player in NFL history to post a 100-plus rating in 11 straight games. He also has a 110-plus rating in 19 of his past 22 contests (including postseason). In last season's 45-17 victory over the Giants, he completed 25-of-37 throws (67.6 percent) for 404 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 139.9 rating.
Green Bay's best receiver is Greg Jennings (58 catches, 835 yards, eight touchdowns). Jordy Nelson has 44 catches and nine touchdowns.
Green Bay's offense is first in scoring (34.7 ppg), fourth in total yards (401.7 ypg), third in passing (304.1 ypg) and 28th in rushing (97.2 ypg). On defense, the Giants are 27th in points allowed (25.2 ppg), 28th in yards allowed (381.6 ypg), 26th against the pass (251.2 ypg) and 24th against the run (130.5 ypg).
Defensively, the Packers might be a little bit vulnerable. They are 30th in the league allowing 393.4 yards per game, but have made up for that with a league-leading 22 interceptions.
Randall Cobb is a dangerous return man who has brought a kickoff and a punt back for a touchdown this season.
The New York Giants (6-5) are getting six points from the Green Bay Packers (11-0) in this Sunday's match-up from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The New York Giants have not officially ruled wide receiver Mario Manningham out of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, but Manningham's chances of playing do not sound good. He missed Monday's game against New Orleans with swelling in his knee and coach Tom Coughlin did not sound optimistic Thursday.
"They've done stuff about it. In other words, they've put some medicine in there, they've drained it, but there is an injury there," Coughlin said. "We're trying to manage it and he's trying to manage it, but it's not working to everybody's favor."
Manningham is third on the Giants in receptions with 30.
"We'd love to have him, but he hasn't been around for a while and he didn't practice today [Thursday] so we'll just wait and see," said offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.
Without Manningham, Victor Cruz would start again. Cruz, technically the team's No. 3 receiver, actually leads the Giants with 55 receptions. Ramses Barden would also see increased playing time.
First, head coach Tom Coughlin blew up the Giants because they "didn't have any defense" in last Monday's 49-24 shellacking at the hands of Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. Then, Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson called the defense "sad" in his assessment of "Big Blue's" third straight loss.
Now, defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is getting in on the action, telling reporters during Thursday's press conference that he was "baffled" by what his team did at the Superdome:
"It was so disappointing from my perspective as I watched it on Monday and then watched it the next day. It was one of those games that you wanted to bury. The energy level and what we did, it baffled me. It baffled me. Are you supposed to have answers, but sometimes you can't explain something like that."
Unfortunately the Giants won't get a reprieve this Sunday to try and work out the kinks. They host Aaron Rodgers and the undefeated Green Bay Packers at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Here's what Fewell expects this weekend:
"We look forward to the opportunity to play these guys. That's my confidence level. We're going to show up and we're going to play on Sunday. We're going to get to the quarterback. Period. We're going to get it done. I'm going to coach better and they're going to play better ... The motivation is to advance ourselves to win this division so we can have an opportunity to play more in January ... We all know, collectively, what we need to get done ... We have to work in harmony together as an offense, defense and special teams and we have to grab energy from each other and collectively play as a unit, as a football team. Obviously we didn't do that Monday night, but we'll get that done."
Monday's debacle against the Saints included, the Giants have played an extremely difficult schedule in recent weeks, facing the likes of the 49ers, Eagles and now the Packers.
In addition, the New York line-up has been riddled with injuries, including an ankle sprain to defensive end Osi Umenyiora.
A huge upset over Green Bay would go a long way in restoring the team's confidence, especially if the defense can make a few plays on Rodgers, who right now is playing as good as he (or anyone else) ever has.
Time will tell.

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw said Wednesday that he was "planning on playing" Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but that he wasn't planning practicing this week.
Well, head coach Tom Coughlin said Thursday that is Bradshaw wants to do the former he is going to have to do the latter, at least in a limited fashion.
"What did I say though? You asked me the same thing in my conference and I said that he's going to have to practice," Coughlin said. "He'll practice enough so that he's got his timing and so-on and so-forth. We wouldn't overdo it with him, but he is going to have to practice and we'll see. He wants to. Believe me, he wants to – In the worst way."
Despite missing four games with a cracked bone in his foot Bradshaw is still the Giants leading rusher with 440 yards gained this season.
New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley practiced today on a limited basis for the first time since injuring a hamstring three weeks ago agains the San Francisco 49ers. Boley said he "came out pretty good."
"I got a couple reps during each period just to try to test it out and not try to overdo it today," Boley said. "It is a big relief. I haven't had too many hamstring problems but I heard that they are really tricky. They can be good one day and not so good the next. To come out today and get some work was pretty good."
Head coach Tom Coughlin would only say Boley did "ok."
After getting torched Monday night in a 49-24 loss to the New Orleans Saints the Giants could desperately use Boley's presence Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. He is their most experienced linebacker, and has been calling their defensive signals this season.
New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who has missed the last four games with a cracked bone in his foot says he is "planning on playing" Sunday when the Giants face the 11-0 Green Bay Packers. He just is not planning on practicing this week.
"Practice? I don't think I want to," Bradshaw said. "I want to be as healthy as I can on Sunday."
Practice or no practice, the Giants could certainly use Bradshaw in the lineup Sunday against Green Bay. Despite missing those four games Bradshaw still leads the Giants in rushing with 440 yards in seven games.
The Giants are last in the league in yards rushing per game at 83.2, and in average yards per running play at 3.2.
Bradshaw originally suffered the injury in a game against the Miami Dolphins. He has had similar injuries in the past and has undergone surgery in an effort to alleviate the problem.
The New York Giants made several roster moves today. Left tackle Will Beatty, who had to undergo surgery to repair a detached retina in his right eye, was placed on injured reserve. Beatty started the first 10 games of the season at left tackle for the Giants.
After that move was made, the team re-signed linebacker Chase Blackburn, a Giant from 2005-2010. New York also signed wide receiver Isaiah Stanback to the practice squad and terminated quarterback Ryan Perrilloux's practice squad contract for the sixth team this season.
Blackburn has been a key contributor on the Giants' special teams unit in the years he was on the squad. He was the Giants' leader in special teams in each of the last six years. During his career, he's played in 93 games (including 17 starts) and six postseason games. He's made 108 tackles (65 solo), 1.5 sacks, two interceptions, defended three passes, forced one fumbles and recovered two fumbles.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says there is no "recipe" to beat his team. And why shouldn't he say that? The Packers are 11-0. They are the defending Super Bowl champions. They have not lost in nearly a year, since a Week 14 defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots last season.
"I don't believe you can say there's a recipe to beat us when we haven't been beaten yet. I think there are ideas, maybe on how you can get after us," Rodgers said.
The Packers are, of course, beginning to get questions about going undefeated. Rodgers knows the Giants will be desperate for a victory when the teams meet Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
"They're 6-5, they're a game back in the wildcard, and a game back in the division. They still play Dallas twice … I think you have to realize that the opponent you're playing, and the desperation, and the understanding of how important this game is," Rodgers said. "They [the Giants] understand the importance of this game, and getting back in the race in their division. It's going to definitely be a tough game for us, especially playing on the road."
Question is, coming off three straight losses can the Giants come up with a recipe to beat the Packers — and actually execute it? As Rodgers said, that won't be easy.
New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora could miss 2-4 weeks with a badly sprained ankle, according to a report from the N.Y. Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano.
A source who has spoken with Umenyiora told Vacchiano that Umenyiora has a "real bad" sprained ankle, and that he "sprained pretty much everything in there." The defensive end is expected miss New York's game on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers and will probably miss the following weekend's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys, too.
Umenyiora's plan is to return on Dec. 18 against the Washington Redskins, according to the source, but even that might be optimistic.
"You never know with ankles," the source said. "It all depends on how fast they heal. And you know Osi. He wants to show everyone that he's going to push as hard as he can to get back on the field."

It appears that the New York Giants are going to have to try to make it back into the thick of the playoff race without defensive end Osi Umenyiora, who will be "out for a while" (via Ralph Vacchiano's twitter feed). Umenyiora, who was already battling a knee injury, left last night's game against the New Orleans Saints with an ankle injury. He missed the entire second half of the game. He only made one assisted tackle before he left the game.
Despite missing the first three games of the season due to arthroscopic surgery on his knee, Umenyiora entered the game against the Saints second on the Giants team in sacks with seven. Jason Pierre-Paul is the team leader with 10.5 sacks. In eight games (including seven starts) during the 2011 season, Umenyiora made 23 tackles (14 unassisted), forced 2 fumbles and defended one pass.

According to Cool Standings, the New York Giants have just a 15.3 percent chance of making the NFL playoffs. Yet the statistical improbability of reaching the postseason does not phase Giants safety Antrel Rolle. During an interview with WFAN on Tuesday, Rolle guaranteed the Giants would make the playoffs.
"Absolutely. Absolutely, man," Rolle said on 660 AM radio. "Let me tell you something: We're going to fight. I don't care how we fight. I don't care what corner we back ourselves up into.
"And you know what, everyone might be off the Giants' bandwagon, which is fine. We've only had us from the beginning anyway."
The Giants' best chance to earn a postseason berth is to overtake the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East crown. New York has two games left against the 7-4 Cowboys this season, and could need to win both to have a chance. But Rolle doesn't see New York's low odds as an invitation to lay down for the rest of the season.
"I'm a fighter," he said. "I fought to the end last night, and I'm going to fight to the end of the season no matter which road it takes. We have to figure out at the end of the day, what's our purpose? What are we here for? Are we trying to be a playoff contending team or are we just going out there and going through the motions? ..."
"Everyone within the Giants organization needs to get together, coaches and players, and figure out what is going on and how do we stop this bleeding at the end of the day. Because, I don't know, clearly there is something wrong."

As the calendar turns to the end of October, nights grow longer and the air is cool. The leaves change from green to golden brown. Soon the rat-a-tat-tapping will come to the door followed by a chorus of children saying, "Trick or Treat!"
It is almost time for the ghosts and goblins to return to the streets in search of sweet treats.
Traditions and superstitions of Halloween have evolved over the years into what is part of the celebration as one knows it today.
One such example is the scary witch with the green haggard wart-covered face and pointy hat. The witch stems from a pagan goddess known as the "the crone" who was honored during Samhain. The crone was also referred to as the 'old one' or 'Earth mother' which symbolized wisdom, change, and the turning of the seasons.
Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means 'End of Summer', and is the third and final Harvest, according to wicca.com. It is generally celebrated on Oct. 31 and Nov.1.
The pagan Celts believed that after death all souls went into the crone's cauldron, which symbolized the Earth mother's womb. There, the souls awaited reincarnation as the goddess' stirring allowed for new souls to enter the cauldron and old souls to be reborn. That image of the cauldron of life has now been replaced by the steaming, bubbling, ominous brew.
Witches broomsticks as a mode of transportation has an interesting tale. English folklore tells that during night-time ceremonies, witches rubbed a 'flying' potion on their bodies, closed their eyes and felt as though they were flying. The hallucinogenic ointment, which caused numbness, rapid heartbeat and confusion, gave them the illusion that they were soaring through the sky.
Ever wonder why people jump at the sight of a spider? One superstitious belief is that if a spider falls into a candle-lit lamp and is consumed by the flame, witches are nearby.
Another superstition is if one spots a spider on Halloween, it means that one is being watched over by the spirit of a deceased loved one, which inspires the many spider decorations today.
With witches comes spells.
Bobbing for apples is one of the traditional games used for fortune-telling on Halloween night. It was believed that the first person to pluck an apple from the water-filled bucket without using their hands would be the first to marry.
If the bobber lucked out and caught an apple on the first try, it meant that they would experience true love, while those who got an apple after many tries would be fickle in their romantic undertakings. Another myth was if a young lady put her bobbed apple under her pillow on Halloween night, she would dream about her future husband.
Myth and traditions aside, children will look forward to dressing in costume in search of the perfect treat this Halloween.

Get Real: May Recap
**This post is part of the Get Real series. Please remember that this is meant as a learning community. We know that many of you are passionate about what you do and we want you to express that, just please do so in a way that will be an encouragement and aid to others making a transition. We want this to be a "safe space" for participants to learn. For that reason, we reserve the right to delete any comments that are not handled in this manner.
I know I've said it before but we have had some amazing months already with Get Real and the best is still to come! Summer has arrived and what better way to kick it off than to talk about beef and pork as we have this month. As I know you have all been grilling! This month we focused on beef and pork mainly because they are the primary proteins in the majority of our households as well as our menus!
We started with pork and the questions you wanted answered. Did you find a difference when you bought pork at the market? How about a taste difference in the nitrite and nitrate free hot dogs you bought this last holiday weekend? If you're like me, they tasted BETTER and now you're hooked.
Next we had Vanessa from Chefdruck Musings stop by and help us to make the right choices when choosing beef. Did it help you understand beef and the options available to you? I can say we have a grinder here at our house for because of the big game my husband hunts and I'm more than intrigued to start grinding our own beef too like Vanessa suggested.
Kristi our very own Vegetarian writer here at OAMM, stepped up last week and helped out those of you who do not eat meat. She outlined how to make your own meat alternatives and substitutes. This is extremely beneficial because as outlined by Kristi a lot of the meat alternatives on the market can be processed and worse for you.
Lastly this week Tricia outlined for you the steps to take to purchasing a beef side from a local producer. She talked about researching through your local cooperative extension office and 4-H. There are also sites such as eatwild.org and localharvest.org that can help you search as well. We decided to not do a beef side this year here at our house. However our first purchase last year was a great experience and the farm is literally just two miles from our house and it's so nice to know EXACTLY where our beef comes from and to show my sons.
What was YOUR favorite post this month?

One Response to "Get Real: May Recap"
I enjoyed learning about the meat substitutes. Since we already buy local, grass fed, organic beef, that was the most relevant information for me this month!

My wife and I are becoming quasi-urban. We have a property in the downtown core that's been a revenue house for us for the last four years. But ongoing troubles with tenants have exhausted our patience and we've decided to live on the main floor part-time. It means we will be at our home at Paul Lake roughly half our time now. The other half, we will be relearning how to be urban dwellers.
It's daunting. Even though we left Burnaby only a short six years ago, the rural life effectively removes your city sensibilities. There are underlying noises we'd forgotten, from the audible whir of traffic, to the shouts of neighbourhood children, dogs and sirens. Even the creaks and shifting of a different house give sleeping a definitive spot on the learning curve.
There's all the fuss and bother of the reconnection experience; the cable, the telephone, the Internet and the realization that comes that we're now paying twice. We have a second set of furniture. I have two offices. The dog has to readapt to walking on a leash at the same time I familiarize myself again with plastic bags.
I can't get up from my desk and walk off into the trees. I can't turn my beloved stereo up to levels where I can hear it as I mow the lawn anymore. There's no practicing moose calls on the deck in the early morning. We have neighbours downstairs and I have to learn to walk differently. Stomping to the fridge is out. So are long drum solos on the djembe and pogo dancing to old Ramones records.
But I can walk to the grocery store for random items at a moment's notice. The library is 10 minutes off.
Should I ever have a sudden fancy for a hot dog it's steps away. We even went to a movie at night that didn't require a 70-kilometre commitment to get there and back. We'll walk to the theatre, to hear the symphony, to join in on community events and drop in on friends for tea. We couldn't do those things at the lake.
The other charming thing about urban living is people. Every time we have been out and about getting our new digs ready, we've run into someone we know. At the paint store, grocery, drug store and even on a street corner. It's marvellous. You stop and chat, laugh and make plans for a bigger, better get together that you suddenly realize is imminently possible.
For six years our mailing address has been Kamloops. But we've never really availed ourselves of the city. We became hermetic almost, loving the cloistered nature of our lives overlooking a lake. As a writer of books, that's been fabulous and I've been amazingly productive. We found peace and calm and a togetherness that's solid and cozy and tight.
But we've missed city things; music, movies, restaurants — heck, even bowling, though it's more the idea of possibility and proximity than the lure of the game. I love libraries. Now I can go and spend entire evenings and afternoons there if I choose. So the relearning curve is worth it. Being an urban person was my reality for a long time.
Now, at 57, the idea of it is vastly different. I'm seeking the same quiet shelter I find rurally. I'm seeking to belong, to find community, to be peaceful and secure. I'm seeking the same idea of home that's represented by our home in the mountains. Warm, inviting, known and treasured.

Superteam Model: Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, New York Knicks
The Superteam Model involves a top-heavy lineup. Superteams are built around minimum-wage veterans hungry for another championship. Teams that pull off the Superteam have rapid success. The injury of one of the team's main superstars can cause significant problems. Its vulnerabilities include the Chris Bosh Effect. The Tracy McGrady/Yao Ming duo's injuries brought much grief to their franchise.
The Celtics have enjoyed immediate success when they won the 2007-08 championship with Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. They have a become a perennial Eastern powerhouse. Superteams are not a new idea. The 1980s Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics and 1990s Chicago Bulls had multiple All-Stars.
The Superteam Model is usually a venture of big-market franchises. But success is not guaranteed. The Brooklyn Nets hotly pursued the Superteam Model only to end up empty-handed.
Traditional Team: San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls
The Traditional Team involves filling rosters with mid-level players that fit the system around a focal superstar. The new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) favors the Traditional Team direction.
Teams that have leveraged large chunks of their salary cap into two and three players are starting to find out that the new world drawn up in December is going to require smaller contracts and greater flexibility… in 2013 the teeth of the new CBA kick in. A heftier Luxury tax that penalizes teams based on various levels over the tax line they are. Reduced Salary cap exceptions; tighter trade rules related to what teams over the tax can take back and more importantly whether teams can do sign-and-trade deals.
The Dallas Mavericks won a title in 2011 on the Traditional Team, only to see it dismantled the next year in a quest for the Superteam.
An Orlando Perspective
The Free Agent Class of 2013 is especially appealing.
Chirs Paul and Josh Smith headline the class, which could also include Monta Ellis and Andre Iguodala if the pair exercise their Early Termination Options. And if Orlando strikes out on any of the above players, it could try signing a restricted free agent to an offer sheet; notable restricted free agents in the 2013 class include point guards Darren Collison, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, Jeff Teague, and Eric Maynor; and shooting guards Tyreke Evans and James Harden.
Either approach for success necessitates freeing this team from bad contracts. Although clearing the cap-space involves much head-ache, it can be done with a competent GM. It involves deft handling of the encumbering contracts of Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, Quentin Richardson, and Chris Duhon. Of course, the possible return of Fran Vazquez might ease the process. It entails good uses of the present 19th and 49th picks. The prospective contracts of Jameer Nelson and Ryan Anderson must be dealt frugally.
Obtaining an aging Back to the Future Steve Nash will put a cloak on Orlando's salary cap struggles. If there is a focus on the Traditional Team model for success, then Orlando will eye playmakers like Courtney Lee, OJ Mayo, Carlos Delfino, and George Hill. Spot-up shooters like Danny Green and Ersan Ilyasova will be appreciated, especially if Ryan Anderson is stolen away.
If Orlando tries to pull off a salary cap miracle and goes costly with Eric Gordon or Goran Dragic, then the chase for the Free Agent Class of 2013 is over.
However, if Orlando focuses on signing especially cheap free agents such as Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Gilbert Arenas, then a formidable Superteam is within grasps.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Wiz Khalifa's Crew Takes Over Source Magazine + Nas The New Voice Of NFL Draft?
Tuesday, Apr 24, 2012 11:49PM
Looks like Wiz Khalifa's rap crew is ready to take over -- or at least let their prescense be known. The new cover of The Source has a very hippie looking Khalifa standing tall with the American flag and his rap crew in the back.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
Yep. Chevy Woods, Lola Monroe and Juicy J are all on the new cover which you can see here
Had there been rappers at Woodstock, they'd have looked like Wiz Khalifa on the front of the next Source magazine, due on newsstands May 8. The cover depicts the Pittsburgh rapper as a kind of swagged-out Sly Stone. He's got an American flag over his shoulder, a fringed buckskin vest on his chest and a shiny watch on his wrist. More than just an artist, he's the head of the Taylor Gang, an imprint whose roster includes Lola Monroe, Juicy J and Chevy Woods -- all of whom join their boss on the cover. (The Boombox)
SOHH Watcha Think: Does Taylor Gang have what it takes to be the next big rap crew?
In other news, Nas recently announced the release date for his tenth album, Life is Good, will be July 17. Esco is going in with this one: Not only by building a street hype around the singles, but also sat down to talk sports and life with ESPN, all while securing two of his tracks to be used in their coverage of the NFL Draft this week.
ESPN asked Nas to soften a few of his lyrics -- well before New York Post sports media columnist Phil Mushnick criticized the network's choice in an unintentionally hilarious get-off-my-lawn rant -- concessions the rapper was happy to make. "A few phone calls later and some recording sessions and some photo shoots and here we are," Martin said.(Sports Illustrated)
The Don also shared his excitment for being a part of the highly watched event.
Will Nas make you check for the NFL Draft?

Due to differences and educational expectations, most international students require long hours of study which limits their time for employment. The Government of the United States provides severe penalties, such as deportation, for illegal employment. However, under certain conditions, the following forms of employment are allowed...
University Workstudy
Students may work up to 20 hours per week on campus to assist them in meeting their financial obligations to the University. Due to the high demand for workstudy positions at ETBU, students may, except in rare occasions, work only 10 hours per week on campus.
In summer and on holidays, students may accept full-time on-campus employment.
Severe Hardship Work Permit
Issued by the United States Government, the Severe Economic Hardship Work Permit is issued to students who have already studied one year in the United States. The permit allows students to work up to 20 hours per week on or off campus. However, students must provide documented evidence of severe financial hardship that resulted from unexpected circumstance. (loss of job by a parent / sponsor, death of a parent / sponsor, economic crisis, currency devaluation, etc.) Please, contact Alan Huesing, Director of International Education, for more information concerning the Severe Economic Hardship Work Permit.
Optional Practical Training Work Permit
After your graduation from the University, you may work for up to one year in the field of your graduating study/major as a part of your education in the United States. Contact Alan Huesing for more information.

ALS - Hug

I love the video and I'm so glad they are starting to make more people aware of ALS. I hope to see more like this on tv so it can reach a larger audience. I guess it's just up to us bloggers for now! :)
I am sure you miss your dad. What a great video, though, to remind us to give a hug.

My Dad passed away 13 years ago of ALS. It's sad that it takes videos like this to remind us just how much we take for granted. My teen-age son told someone the other day that he likes to hug people, now that I think about it he always has. When he wakes up I need to tell him that's a good thing. We could all use more hugs, smiles, and words of love.

The U.S. Department of Transportation says Georgia has $11 million in federal funding to spend on road and rail projects, but the money must be used by the end of the year. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the money announced Friday is part of $473 million nationwide being freed up by President Barack Obama. The Georgia money comes from unspent earmark funds. Congress banned the practice of steering money to specific projects last year amid criticism of wasteful spending. Georgia DOT Commissioner Keith Golden says the state will review transportation projects assigned by Congress from 2003 to 2006 to see what be completed by Dec. 31. The biggest project is $2.97 million for rail facilities near Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Belcourt Man Pleads Guilty to Assault Charges
BISMARCK - U.S. Attorney Timothy Q. Purdon announced that on
Sept. 25, 2012, Felix E. Wallette Jr., 40, of Belcourt, N.D., pleaded guilty in
U.S. District Court to a charge of assault by striking, beating, or wounding and a charge
of domestic assault by a habitual offender.
On Sept. 11, 2011, Wallette was in a vehicle with the victim, and they began to
argue. Wallette assaulted the victim, and the victim sought medical treatment for non-life
threatening injuries. At the time of the assault, Wallette had previously been convicted in
North Dakota state court proceedings and in Turtle Mountain Tribal Court of at least two
other domestic violence offenses.
The charge of assault by striking, beating, or wounding carries a statutory
maximum penalty of six months in federal prison and a $5,000 fine. The charge of
domestic assault by a habitual offender carries a statutory maximum penalty of five years
in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs - Turtle Mountain
Sentencing for Wallette has been scheduled for Dec. 20, 2012, in U.S. District Court in Bismarck, N.D., at 3:00 p.m.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandi Sasse Russell is prosecuting the case.

"To some, Mike Simonetti is the guy behind one of the best indie labels of the last 25 years, Troubleman Unlimited. But it was during his time putting out records by post-punk and noise bands like Black Dice and Erase Errata that Simonetti started to build on his reputation as a great DJ — his stacks of weird electro and Italo disco cuts put him alongside luminaries like LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy in helping spearhead the revival of good dance music New York. Now with his label Italians do it Better, Simonetti has realigned his focus, and has made himself one of the most in-demand DJs around. "

Police are investigating a shooting that took place Wednesday night at Turtle Creek Apartments off of White Bluff Rd.According to investigators, a man walked away from a discussion and entered his apartment. That is when officers say the suspect shot through the door of the apartment, hitting the man in the shoulder.Police say the victim likely knew the suspect. The victim's injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.This is the third shooting on Savannah's Southside in three days. Monday night, 21-year-old Rebecca Foley was shot and killed while pulling into her Southside Apartment Complex.Her family questions whether it was a car jacking gone bad.On Tuesday night, 17-year-old Evan Colquitt was shot multiple times in the chest outside his Windsor Forest home.All three shootings were within a mile of each other."People have a reason to be concerned with three shootings in three nights, but they all appear to be unrelated. An intense investigation is ongoing with all three," said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Department spokesman.Southside residents say they are becoming concerned, especially because police are not releasing information about the violence."Not knowing is harder because you wonder whether it was an accident or intentional. Are we in danger? We don't know because they aren't telling us," Nicole MacMillan said.Police haven't released any suspects.

People urged to support this weekend's York Dragon Boat Race
Updated 9:03am Friday 11th July 2014 in News
York Dragon Boat Race.Escrick Vikings sing together in fine voice after winning their heat in the 2012 York Dragon Boat Race
THE new organiser of York Dragon Boat Races has urged people to get behind the event this weekend.
Former chief superintendent John Lacy has announced that he is taking over as President of the Rotary Club of York from the well-known York Estate Agent Nigel Naish.
The rotary club-organised Dragon Boat Race event has already raised £750,000 for charity in the 12 years it has been running and will this year raise cash for the Jack Raine Foundation.
Mr Lacy said: "The Dragon Boat Race is our York Tour de France - it showcases the river. It's attended by hundreds on the river bank and is a great carnival atmosphere. York people have embraced this charity event."
He added about his new appointment: "It is a great honour be the 93rd person to be president of the oldest rotary club in the city and I look forward to ensuring the strong service to the community ethos is maintained and developed.
"Being president is a proud moment for me. In the ten years I have been a member of the Rotary Club of York I have been surrounded by like minded people who in that time have raised close to a million pounds for local and International charities
Whether it has been providing equipment for local youth clubs' helping the homeless or eradicating polio we make a difference."
Thirty six teams in fancy dress will be in action on the river between Scarborough and Lendal Bridges from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Teams will battle it out for awards including the fastest charity team, fastest armed services team and best dressed.
The free event includes stalls and activities on Museum Gardens bank.
This year's nominated charity, the Jack Raine Foundation, supports vulnerable children and young people. The charity focuses on early intervention and prevention of child sexual exploitation as well as alternative learning provision and engagement through sport.

There isn't much to go on right now, but apparently Mike Williams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers young stud receiver was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of DUI. I first heard this on 620 WDAE on my way into work and was shocked. Over the last half hour, some other details have come out. His BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) was under the legal limit, which makes the arrest a little surprising. I'm no expert on these cases, but it would seem something else was in play. Maybe he got a little lippy with the officer, but either way, I'm not sure I understand taking someone to the pokey when they are under the limit.
Will have more details as they come out. I would imagine he is still playing on Sunday, though he may not start.
Update #1 (8:04 A.M.): I was able to track down the Arrest Report. He blew .065 and .061 with the legal limit being .08. Lets hope its just a case of an overzealous officer or one who wanted to make sure Williams stayed safe so he could play on Sunday.
Update #2 (845 A.M.): Per Stephen Holder's Twitter Account: "There's a urine test pending which the cops do if they suspect someone is impaired by something OTHER than alcohol."
Update #3 (8:53 A.M.): Per ProFootballTalk.Com, Williams has been released from custody.
Update #4 (11:58 A.M.) There are conflicting reports about whether Williams will play. Different Bucs officials say different things. When we know for certain we will update this. Also, ESPN is reporting he has been charged and released on bail. This is standard. If the tox results come back in 5 weeks and are negative, the charges are dismissed. If not, a warrant is put out for his arrest. Likely, there will be no more news until that test result comes back.
Update #5 (1:18 P.M.) According to Adam Schefter, Mike Williams will start against the 49ers.
