There has been much debate on how the Rams will fare in their upcoming season. We could all say that this upcoming season is about the team progressing, seeing how Fisher does in his first season as a coach of the Rams but lets be honest, this season about Sam. In other words, this team will go as far as Sam takes them. Below I will predict how many games the Rams win plus I will give explanations. So without further or do...Week 1. @ Detroit Lions - This game despite conventional wisdom is not an automatic loss. The Detroit Lions had a great season last season but they have yet proved anything. We've seen in recent years where a team would do great one year, get all this buzz from the media and proceed to bomb in the next season. The Titans and Dolphins are two teams in recent memory. In my opinion. Sam will throw more than expected in a Fisher Offense because the Lions can put up points quick with Stafford and their many weapons on the offense.
Keys to the Game - Keep everything in front of us on D and keeping their aggressive D-Line off of Sam.
Score - I think these things will happen, our team will come out and make a statement, 27 - 20 W
Week 2. Washington Redskins - Sam will play this game down as just any other game but he knows this is as close to a must win as they get. Unless you live under a rock you know the Rams traded down with the Redskins, skipping on the possibility of getting RG3, putting their faith in Bradford as the Rams Franchise QB. If the Rams lose this game, the media and some Rams fans will question whether this FO made the right decision. It seems petty but think about it, makes sense.
Keys to the Game - Remember that RG3 is a rookie and pressure him. Make him make rookie mistakes with an aggressive D and Sam needs to show why this FO believes in him.
Score - I believe they win this game, the match up normally goes back and fourth between these two teams, it's our turn to win. 24 - 14 W
Week 3. @ Chicago Bears - Coming off two straight wins this will be a hard nosed game. I think this will be one of those run first games that many are accustomed to seeing. This will be yet another tough game but I I see them airing it out more than they have in the past with their new acquisitions of Marshall and getting Alshon in the draft.
Keys to the Game - Get after Cutler and let him make the mistakes we've grown to love
Score - This is a toss up for me, my heart says we win but my mind says three wins in a row is pushing it. This seems like the kind of game that they'll have to ball last and win 24 - 17 L
Week 4. Seattle Seahawks - Our second home game of the year and it's against our hated rival. The Rams are now showing some confidence and dare I say showing some "swagger" (whatever the fuck that is). We were swept by them last season and I think we come out guns blazing trying to prove that we are not the Rams of last year.
Keys to the Game - DESTROY THEM!
Score - There's no way I see us losing this game, especially at home. Gotta defend the dome. 30 - 17 W
Week 5. Arizona Cardinals - Another week, another division rival. Which stings big time for most Ram fans because in the fashion we were beat last year due to returns brought back both times by Patrick Peterson. This should be about the time that the offense gets into it's groove. This is also another game that should challenge out secondary with one of the best Wide Receivers coming to town in Fitz and a rookie who should start on the other side of him in Floyd.
Keys to the Game - Get to Kolb and keep everything in front of us in the Secondary.
Score - If our defense can stop the big plays I'm sure our offense can do enough to win this game, 17 - 10 W
Week 6. @ Miami Dolphins - Time to take our talents to South Beach, huh? The Rams walk into the Dolphins stadium on a two game win streak. I would imagine that the Dolphins haven't won too many games with a rookie QB and a rebuilding team. I think we can come right out the gate and take command of this game or we can think we're too good and stutter.
Keys to the Game - Don't play down to our competition and remember that we can't afford no slip ups.
Score - I think we can get out early in this game and play some ground and pound. 20 - 10 W
Week 7. Green Bay Packers - On paper we should lose this game and by a land slide. Their Offense is one of the best in the NFL for the past couple of seasons and nothing would suggest they will be any worse this season, but here are some reasons why we can compete. Their secondary isn't that great and they were one of the worst teams in the NFL last season in total defense. They have taken steps to fix that but I think we can capitalize on it. This should be a game where Sam is highly motivated to win considering this is the team that gave him the initial ankle injury.
Keys to the Game - Don't be afraid to air it out and protect Sam
Score - It's just a feeling that I have but, 28 - 27 W, we surprised the Saints last season, why not the Packers this season?
Week 8. New England Patriots - A game that stirred up quite a controversy this offseason. The Rams emotional level in this game is pretty high after a shocking victory in the game before beating the Packers at home. The Patriots also have an offensive powerhouse headed by one of the best if not the best Qb in the NFL in Tom Brady. But they also had one of the worst Defenses in the NFL last season but spent most of their picks on in the last draft to fix it.
Keys to the Game - Get to Tom Brady and capitalize off mistake because that offense doesn't make many
Score - Although I could see a W, Brady proved last season that even with a bad D he can still win, 35 - 24 L
Week 9. Bye we go into the Bye with a 6 - 2 record, getting some solid victories under our belt.
Keys to the rest of the Season - Don't let up
Week 10 - @ San Francisco - We go into candlestick park with a 6 - 2 record feeling pretty good going against the reigning NFC West Champs. They have (in theory) a much improved offense with Moss and another year under Smith's belt with the same Offensive. This will be a game where the Defense has to create turnovers and force the issue, putting pressure on Smith and forcing him to make mistakes. Giving this offense as many chances on the opponents side of the field or close to it because the whiners defense is stifling and stingy.
Keys to the Game - Force Smith to make mistakes and Capitalize
Score - Another team I could see us beating but it is their home and I just don't see us beating them there until seen otherwise, 20 - 17 L
Week 11 - New York Jets - Following a crushing loss at the hands of the whiners, the Jets come to town. Whether the QB at the time is Tebow or Sanchez at the time, we can not afford to come out of bye on a two game lose streak. This seems to be another Defensive struggle game where field position and capitalizing off of the opposition's mistakes will be key. We can not in turn beat ourselves out of this game.
Keys to the Game - Capitialize off of the opposition's mistakes and give the Offense the opportunity to win it in the end
Score - We can't afford to lose this game, 20 - 10 W
Week 12 - @ Arizona Cardinals - Coming off of an impressive win against the Jets we now head into one of two rivals in the upcoming weeks. The Cardinals are at the point trying to position themselves to try and steal the NFC West in the end and have to win against us to have a chance. As said in the previous game against them, we can't allow for them to beat us on special teams.
Keys to the Game - Don't let their special teams beat us and prevent the big plays
Score - Can't see us sweeping them this season, they'll pull something out their ass, 24 - 20 L
Week 13 - San Francisco - The whiners come to town looking for a sweep against our Rams. Just like last game it looks like a defensive struggle but we most protect our home turf. We gotta at least give ourselves a chance at the end to steal the game and division from them.
Keys to the Game - Protect home turf and keep the chance of winning the division alive
Score - Can't see them sweeping use again this season, must win game here, 24 - 20 W
Week 14 - @ Buffalo Bills - In this game we face another team that's trying to establish themselves as a good team in the NFL. They're probably in a two way race with the Patriots as we are against the 49ers. This game comes down to mistakes and making sure they make more.
Keys to the Game - Keep our season alive
Score - I could see this game going either way but I you have to consider that one WTF game and this has that all over it, 20 - 16 L
Week 15 - Minnesota Vikings - The Minnesota Vikings are probably in last place at this point in a 3 way division with the Packers, Bears, and Lions fighting it out. At this point they're just fighting for pride in themselves. This is a game where we can't afford to lose with our playoff ambitions in the balance. One thing on their side though is they have the best Running back in the league and we all know now we fared against the run last season.
Keys to the Game - Keep Peterson bottled up and make Ponder beat us
Score - Must win game and we pull through, 28 - 13 W, Peterson can only do so much
Week 16 - @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Another team that I think will be much improve this season after a disappointing one last season. They much like us have a much improve team like us thanks to the draft and free agency. We all know what's at steak, a post season berth.
Keys to the Game - Keep the post season dream alive
Score - I could see this game going either way, for that 24 - 20 L
Week 17 - @ Seattle Seahawks - Ironic isn't it, our season rests on an away game much like it did two seasons ago in Sam's rookie season. In that game everything that could go wrong did, whether it was drops by crappy Receivers corps or not being able to get key stops in important times in the game. In this game that is unacceptable. I think the Rams come out of this game guns blazing proving that this isn't the same team as in past.
Keys to the Game - Win or Go Home
Score - I think we win this game and in a big way, 31 - 17 W
That means when it's all counted up, we end with a 10 - 6 record
Why so "optimistic" as some would say, easy. There are two main reason why I am optimistic about the Ram's chances this upcoming season. 1. NFL might be one of the least predicable mainstream sports. Sure you have a couple of teams that will most likely make the playoffs every year like the Patriots, Steelers, Packers, and Saints but after that there is much parity. There's always a team that's supposed to do good in the upcoming season that fails to meet expectations (Jets are one from last season) and there's always a team that comes out of nowhere to shock the world (Lions are one from last year). This is why it's not smart to count out any team before the season. 2. I felt as though the Rams were a playoff team last year. Yes we fell well short of that expectations but there were too many things against us in the end to discount like injuries, a new offense with a shortened offseason, and much more. This season we might have another offensive scheme coming but we 1. have a full offseason to install it and 2. it's similar to the one that Sam ran his rookie season.
In the end this division is highly competitive and I don't believe we should count ourselves out before the seasons even started. I hate that fans are already counting us out of the division by saying that we will win 5 games at most. This attitude is not that of a winner and having an attitude of this kind doesn't breed a champion either. You must hold you team accountable of winning not be OK with mediocrity.This is a new season and should be treated as though, everybody is undefeated at this point as fisher said. Of course, this all hinges on the rookies (especially Quick) producing right away which I also don't think is too far fetched. There's always a rookie that exceeds expectations, why can't he be on the Rams?
What do you think? What is your predictions for this upcoming season? Do we stand a chance of making the playoffs or is it another rebuilding season?

The Blues don't have any problem getting physical as Olivia Newton John once sang. The quotes below are a perfect example on how the Nucks took the wood to us in the mind games department. Lots of fans think hockey is mostly a banging physical game but many times it's over before the players even step on the ice. To have one of your team leaders lose his cool like this is a bad mental breakdown.
SWEDISH BIRD CALL: Not only do quiet Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin talk on the ice, they chirp, according to David Backes.
The Blues' centre said he raised his gloves and stick into Henrik's face with seven seconds remaining in Sunday's game because the Canuck talked trash to him.
"It was unsportsmanlike, I thought, on his part to come and rub in the fact it was going to be a 3-0 series deficit for us," Backes said Monday. "I take exception to it. It was nothing to hurt him, maybe just send the message that we're a prideful team in here and you may have gotten the best of us that night, but you don't need to rub it in our faces."
Sedin said he didn't beak Backes.
"I didn't have a chance to say anything," Henrik said. "I turned around and he hit me right away. I would never say something like that because it's far from over."
Backes was assessed a pair of cross-checking penalties but no further discipline from the National Hockey League was expected.
We actually started out the first game crashing the net and getting the Nucks off their mental game temporarily. We never pushed that edge until late in game 4 when it was way too late. Even Nuck fans on their boards were wondering WTH didn't the Blues get in Lu's space and head? Nuck fan knew they had temper problems and we never exploited that, in fact we ended up losing the mental battle badly to the Nucks
Turning the cheek is probably the hardest thing to do in hockey when you get a two hander to the hands and then the azzhat goads you while the ref eyeballs you for the call. That, or you're getting your teeth kicked in on the scoreboard and someone wants to taunt like Sedin in this article. You just gotta smile and skate off. Take one for the team as the saying goes.
Skating off does 2 things. You don't end up in the sin bin and it makes the other guy wonder WTF? Now you're in his head. You can fake a retaliation and when the guy clocks you, you get to laugh and taunt as the goof heads to the box. You see guys like Avery bait other players like this. I'm not saying we need a goon like that POS Avery but you gotta admit he does throw folks off their game some times with his antics.
I've seen games where a player was so cranked off wanting some payback they came right out of the box and went straight for the other player again, something that really disrupts a team trying to get some momentum going.
Sun Tzu put it best,
Therefore one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful.
Hopefully our young Blues learned how much taunting and chirping they will have to endure in a cup run.
Only then can they git in other team's heads.

Bill would require DNA testing for death penalty
Goal: Reducing number of false convictions
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and Democratic Sen. Rodney Ellis want to require that all biological evidence in a murder trial be tested for DNA before a prosecutor can seek the death penalty.
Both men on Tuesday said that the proposed legislation would reduce the number of false convictions and speed up the appeals process for the guilty.
Ellis said that after-trial DNA testing has reversed 18 death penalty cases in the United States. Abbott pointed out that some death row prisoners have used DNA testing to prolong their appeals, even though the evidence only reaffirms their guilt.
Ellis' Senate Bill 1292 would also set out what evidence must be collected and who would test it. There have been fewer than 10 death penalty cases over the last two years.

Legal Ethics
2nd-Time Ex-Lawyer Pleads Guilty in 2nd Client Theft Case
Posted Feb 23, 2010 8:29 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Disbarred in1988 after he was convicted and sentenced to prison for felony theft from a client, Marvin Earl "Toby'' Alback got his law license reinstated a little over a decade later.
But now the 62-year-old is an ex-lawyer again, having given up his license last year amidst allegations of unethical conduct. And today the former Montana practitioner pleaded guilty in federal court to bankruptcy and wire fraud charges for misappropriating money from a second set of clients, reports the Billings Gazette.
He faces as much as 20 years in prison and a a top fine, but avoids additional charges and sentencing enhancements by agreeing to plead guilty and limit his rights on appeal, the newspaper says.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Josh Davi and Kyle Moorby scored goals 1:08 apart late in the first half as third-seeded Davenport rallied for a Section Four Class D quarterfinal victory which eliminated Milford, 2-1.
Peyton Griffiths gave sixth-seeded Milford a 1-0 lead 11 minutes into play. Eli Rutledge's pass set up a breakaway for Griffiths, who touched it twice before scoring.
Davi tied 8:45 before halftime. Moorby sent a corner kick into the box and Davi ran onto it, using his chest to get across the line from 6 yards.
About a minute later, Moorby and Cody Wamsley worked a passing combination along the right side that led to the go-ahead goal with 7:37 left in the half. Wamsley started it with a throw-in. Moorby then passed back to Wamsley, who dribbled toward the end line. Wamsley then passed back to Moorby, who chipped over shot over goalie Max Lang and inside the far post.
"Looking at the stats, most of the action occurred in the first half," said Davenport coach Deb Moorby. "We had nine shots in the first half and they had six. In the second half, we were shutting each other down. It was kind of a back-and-forth game in the second half."
Davenport (14-3) held a 10-9 advantage in shots. Lang finished with eight saves, one more than Davenport's Chris Kopf.
Kurt Pressly scored twice and second-seeded Cherry Valley-Springfield limited visiting South Kortright to three shots in a Section Four Class D quarterfinal victory.
Pressly opened the scoring 6:10 before halftime. Hunter Cox started the scoring sequence on CV-S' side of midfield. Cox sent a long ball to Noah Russo on the left side. Russo then sent a crossing pass to the right side of the box. Pressly cut in front of SK goalie Brett Post and bodied the ball into the goal.
"We had some opportunities we didn't capitalize on (in the first half)," CV-S coach Terri Adams said. "The wind was against us. We had those chances we didn't finish on and then late in the first half we got one. At halftime, we talked about some things, worked our short passing game, pressure the ball and got three goals."
Ben Drugatz made it 2-0 with 33:26 left. He scored on a rebound after an initial shot was bobbed by the goalie.
Pressly scored 10 minutes later and Russo capped the scoring.
"We kept it to the feet and our defense was solid," Adams said of her 16-1 Tri-Valley League title-winning squad. "We moved as a unit, supported every unit and it was a total team effort."

TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks announced today that they've signed free agent quarterback Josh Portis to a two-year deal. The 6-foot-3, 211-pound Portis spent his rookie year on Seattle's 53-man roster behind Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst. He saw action in the preseason and was active for one game during the regular season (10/23) when Jackson could not play due to injury, serving as a backup to Whitehurst in a loss to the Cleveland Browns. Portis was released during the Seahawks' final roster cut down in September before the 2012 season and then added to the team's practice squad, where he spent time until he was released after the team's Week 12 game against the Miami Dolphins. That move left Russell Wilson and Matt Flynn as the only two quarterbacks on Seattle's roster. Now that Matt Flynn has been traded, Portis will back up Russell Wilson for now.

10 Things We Think We Learned - Buccaneers vs. Panthers II
By JC DeLaTorre on Nov 19, 8:28a
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers escaped with an improbable 27-21 overtime victory at Carolina. But what did we learn from the clash of NFC South rivals?
There are games that test your faith as a fan of your favorite football team. Then there was what transpired yesterday in Bank of America stadium. It's okay, you can admit it. When the Dougernaught allegedly fumbled at the goal line and the Panthers went 80 yds in 7 plays to take a double digit lead - you were like me and thought the Bucs' ship had been sunk.
Any thoughts of playoffs. Poof. Any hope of keeping the winning streak alive - gone in an arrogant Cam Newton pose (you're the quarterback of a 2-7 - excuse me - 2-8 team with a QB Rating of 79. Stop posing, Cam - you're not that guy anymore).
The Bucs were finished, done for - put dirt on them. Then the miraculous happened. It began with a 36 yd drive in 9 plays and a 40 yd field goal to give Tampa Bay a puncher's chance at 21-13.
Then the much maligned Bucs defense had to find a way to get the ball back. They did - but not until the Bucs exhausted all of their time outs and the two minute warning.
Josh Freeman took the field with 1:02, no timeouts left and 80 yds away from giving his team a chance.
38 yds to Tiquan Underwood (plus 15 big yards for a personal foul shot to the head). A short completion to Clark. Another hitter to V-Jax at the Carolina 24 and a spike to stop the clock with :20 seconds left.
2nd and 10 from the Carolina 24, Freeman threw a ball he shouldn't have - toward three Panther players and Vincent Jackson in the end zone. If it's not pin point accurate - the Panthers pick it off, game over - maybe season over.
It was accurate and Jackson made one of the most amazing catches we've seen in a long time.
A thrilling score - but it would be for naught if the Bucs failed to secure the 2 point conversion. A tremendous (and I mean outstanding) play action to Dynamite Doug sucked in rookie Panther MLB Luke Kuechly, giving Jackson space inside - Freeman had to be accurate - and he was - connecting for two.
When the Bucs won the toss - you had to feel it. The Bucs did, so did the Panthers after Martin snapped off 11 and 27 on the game winning drive. When Freeman connected with Dallas Clark for the game winning touchdown - there was a little disbelief in the air, wasn't there? I remember sitting in an Orlando Buffalo Wild Wings (with an impatient wifey wanting to head to Disney already) trying to take in what I just witnessed. It took a few seconds to register. The Bucs won. Somehow, someway, the Bucs won.
It was an amazing comeback - but what did we learn from it?
1. There are no ugly wins in the NFL. The Bucs played well in the first quarter, then the game turned on that pick six by Captain Munnerlyn. Carolina had the momentum throughout the next three and half quarters. The fact that the Bucs were able to get off the mat and find a way to win a game they had no business winning was impressive. The Bucs weren't the only team on upset alert. Jacksonville nearly shocked Houston. Atlanta had to overcome six turnovers to beat Arizona. Dallas got a scare at home from Cleveland. It was that kind of week in the NFL. The teams that contend for playoff spots find ways to win these types of games.
2. I think it goes without saying that the Bucs with this improbably victory are smack dab in the playoff chase. They're 6-4 with six to play. Figure they need to go at least 4-2 in this stretch to have a realistic shot. That means they need to win the games they should at home (Philly and St. Louis) then take two from the other four tougher games (Atlanta at home and away, at Denver, at New Orleans). It certainly won't be easy but they have a chance...and as a fan, you hope your team is playing meaningful football in December - the Bucs should be.
3. Speaking of the playoff chase, just a quick note - later this week we will be unveiling DLT's NFC Playoff Scenario Madness. This isn't just giving you standings folks - each week we will give you all the clinching scenarios, tell you why the Bucs are (or aren't) part of the playoff six, give you future casts of different scenarios for the Bucs if they go 6-0 or 5-1 or 4-2, etc...tell you the earliest the Bucs can clinch a playoff spot and who to root for (or against) this coming week. Look for it either Tuesday or Wednesday of every week while the Bucs remain mathematically eligible.
4. I felt bad for Doug Martin on Sunday. Not only has the Dougernaught been one of the primary reasons the Bucs are even in this position in 2012, he should have had the touchdown called in his favor. To me, there was no question he cross the goal line before the ball came loose. I don't understand what referee Bill Levy was looking at. Yes, one angle was obscured by an official coming into the picture at the wrong time but the other angle was pretty damned conclusive. You see where the ball is (over the chalk) and you see it pop out. Doug was distraught on the sidelines, believing he had cost the Bucs the game and perhaps a shot at the playoffs. I was thrilled for him that he got a chance to redeem himself in overtime and his two big runs on the game winning drive were crucial.
5. I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to the defense - who played a pretty darn good game against the Panthers. Yes, they let down on that final touchdown drive by the Panthers - but in a way - you can understand the wind being taken out of their sails after that fumble at the goal line. They're still a young bunch back there. For the most part though, they kept Cam and the Panthers offense in check, holding them to 14 offensive points and 331 yds (only 234 through the air). They also stopped Cam a yard shy of a game sealing first down when they were desperate to get the ball back.
6. We got a lot of Bad Josh on Sunday. Inaccurate passes, confounding decisions and just overall terrible play. It was obvious the pressure the Panthers were putting on him was getting to him. Through the first three quarters, the offensive line was not doing it's job in pass pro. Freeman was getting drilled on nearly every throw and was reverting back to some of his school yard bad habits. In the end though - with it all on the line in the fourth quarter and overtime - Freeman had some time to throw, dialed in and was sensational. Even the best of the best have off days. Look at Matt Ryan's 5 interception performance against Arizona. Eli Manning has been terrible for the past month, as a fantasy football owner of Aaron Rodgers, I can tell you he's not putting up MVP numbers this season and don't ask a Cowboys fan about Tony Romo. Freeman had a tremendous run of five straight games of stellar football. I think we can forgive one bad performance, especially considering how he played at the end.
7. I've been on Dallas Clark all season. He's lost a step and is a shell of the player he once was but he may have come up with a season saving touchdown in overtime. Great play by Dallas getting his feet down in the endzone and keeping control of the football.
8. Carolina allegedly had their 101st consecutive sell out (or something like that). That stadium looked worse than some of the Bucs' games at the end of last season. In fact, it looked like there were a significant number of red jerseys in the stands or it may have been even more empty. If you can help fill Bank of America field, Bucs fans - you can fill Ray Jay for perhaps the biggest game of the season. You can't help your team on the couch but you can make a difference screaming your head off in the stands. We know Atlanta will have a contingent (they always do). Get out there and support your Bucs!
9. If you're surprised the Bucs struggled to win in Carolina, don't be. Despite their record, the Panthers have been in nearly every game this season and their two victories came against New Orleans and Washington, two teams that beat the Bucs on their home turf. They also had Atlanta on the ropes as well, as Matt Ryan's bunch needed a Matt Bryant last second field goal to avoid an upset at the Georgia Dome.
10. Speaking of the Falcons - it's statement week for the Bucs. Atlanta is 9-1 and its unlikely the Bucs will catch the Falcons for the NFC South title. With that said, the ATL have been ripe for the picking (no pun intended) for several weeks. The Saints got them at the Superdome, the Bucs need to hold serve at home. We said Tampa Bay needs to go 2-2 in the "hard games" to have a realistic chance at playing in the post season for the first time since 2007. This might be their best shot at Atlanta

Agree with the last part. Tampa needs to beat the falcons if they even want to dream of playoffs.
Most of their work should be based on beating atl IMO.

Think 12-4 and then get real and dial it back a little. This team has the talent and the coaching to win every game from here on out. It's possible, but not likely. They have to get back to one game at a time. I believe they got overconfident after taking a 10 point lead against Carolina. Hopefully that scare will help them regain their focus. The fowlgoons are vulnerable and the game is at home. I can't wait for Sunday.

While some had hoped this weekend's meeting would build on recent comments about condoms from the pope, Vatican officials toed the line and emphasized chastity and behavior change.
This weekend the Vatican is hostings a symposium on preventing HIV and caring for those living with the virus. Advocates are hoping that the Vatican will use this opportunity to build on the pope's recent comments regarding condoms.
The Nebraska legislature is working on a law that would make it a crime to assault a public safety officer with bodily fluids but it's based on inaccurate information about HIV transmission.
Today's bully, or let's say one of them because there are so many to deal with each day, is Representative Bob Latta, Republican from the 5th District in Ohio. Mr. Latta has introduced an amendment to the GOP's proposed Continuing Resolution that would eliminate all funding for international family planning. It could be voted on today.
Long-awaited results were released today in the New England Journal of Medicine of a study on the effectiveness of a single daily tablet for preventing HIV transmission among those at high risk of infection.
Proof that PrEP works – that there is, literally, a pill can help to prevent HIV — is an extraordinary breakthrough, as was the news received last summer that an effective vaginal microbicide had been identified. But what does a study focused on people engaging in rectal-penile sex have to do with women and their reproductive health? There are many ways to answer that question — some of them cause for celebration and some reasons for real concern.
Will Congress be voting for fair pay? Will women soon have access to certified professional midwives in Illinois? And are women in the U.S. really getting the message that we're at risk of contracting HIV?
Promising results of a new study released this week at the International AIDS Conference in Vienna, Austria, suggest an effective HIV prevention method for women may be ready for marketing in a few years.
Less than a half a cent of every international development dollar is directed towards girls. But we can change that – with skills, knowledge, self-esteem and personal security, a girl can be a change-agent for herself and her community.
Under New York State law, carrying condoms is admissible as evidence of prostitution in a legal case. This means practicing safer sex is one more thing that can lead a sex worker to get arrested.

The Academy has named 15 films advancing to the voting process for Best Documentary Feature. They were chosen from 126 films that qualified for the award, under new rules that required branch members to screen and vote on all the films. This method would seem to favor the most high-profile films, and most of the shortlist films are well-known at this point, but I am happy to see "The Waiting Room" among the nominees.
The most surprising omissions include Sundance entries "Queen of Versailles," which may have seemed too entertaining, "Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present," Kubrick doc "Room 237," and Amy Berg's "West of Memphis," which may have seemed too familiar after three respected "Paradise Lost" films, the last of which was nominated last year. The branch may also have objected to the degree to which producer PeterJackson, who invested in forensic research in order to solve the crime, inserted himself in the film.
Surprisingly, Ken Burns' well-reviewed New York Film Critics Circle winner "Central Park Five" did not make the cut, nor did Kevin Macdonald's excellent music doc "Marley." The others left out of a dramatically competitive field had won some attention from festivals and doc groups: "Broken Castle," "Jiro Dreams of Sushi," "Kumare," "Women with Cows," "Love Marilyn," "Paul Williams: Still Alive" and "The Movement."
Five films will be chosen by the Academy's Documentary branch members, and the winner will be announced at the Academy Awards on February 24.
The 15 films are:
"Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry," Never Sorry LLC
"Bully," The Bully Project LLC
"Chasing Ice," Exposure
"Detropia," Loki Films
"Ethel," Moxie Firecracker Films
"5 Broken Cameras," Guy DVD Films
"The Gatekeepers," Les Films du Poisson, Dror Moreh Productions, Cinephi
"The House I Live In," Charlotte Street Films, LLC
"How to Survive a Plague," How to Survive a Plague LLC
"The Imposter," Imposter Pictures Ltd.
"The Invisible War," Chain Camera Pictures
"Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God," Jigsaw Productions in association with Wider Film Projects and Below the Radar Films
"Searching for Sugar Man," Red Box Films
"This Is Not a Film," Wide Management
"The Waiting Room," Open'hood, Inc.

The short its list regularly features films year after year from the same exec producers and producers who have won or been nominated in the past and are members of the doc branch - is a total joke that they get to vote for films they are associated with and no wonder that unfortunately doc Oscars are therefore held with so little regard.
Anne Thompson | December 4, 2012 9:06 PM
That explains it! Loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi. They send me screeners of that AND Kumare.
Doc fan | December 4, 2012 6:15 PM
Women with Cows, Kumare, Broken Castle and The Movement were not submitted for Oscar consideration this year. Jiro Dreams of Sushi was submitted last year (2011).
Carlton | December 4, 2012 2:27 AM
At this point I don't think anyone has much respect for the Oscars ...
Sundance, yes.. NY Film Critics Awards, yes ... Cannes, yes ... Independent Film Awards, yes ...
Oscars ... NO . old hat, contrived, and manipulated... Oscar's had far to many facelifts ;)
Jeff PS | December 3, 2012 9:31 PM
No "Samsara"? It's a downright awesome documentary. Oh well. The only one on the list I've seen is "Bully", which is also very powerful. If you wanna read my "Samsara" review, here you go:
Tom Brueggemann | December 3, 2012 4:46 PM
This raises the possibility that Iran might follow its FL film win with best doc win - not that this is anything similar.

As I sit to write my annual I'm Gonnas, it occurs to me I have no immediate resolve. If I were a hotel room, I'd be skipping this floor. But the year must flip over.
Normally I have plenty on my I'm Gonna list. Last year I was still working at editing my garden, Helen's Haven and writing my book, Gardening with Confidence®–50 Ways to add style for personal creativity.
This year my future isn't as clear. I have an "I'm Gonna" gap.
The major garden editing of Helen's Haven is complete and I'm very pleased with it. Even today, I looked around to recalled the work performed and a moment of clarity and calmness came over me. I finally have a garden I can grow with. The big push to add a sense of wonder to Helen's Have will continue, but the pace will be with a slow, steady hand.
50 More ways is quasi being written, at the same time I'm talking with a couple of publishing houses about another book idea. I'm gonna let what may unfold and be prepared by having a place for it to spread out. To say last year was a bit of an overcommitment would be a major understatement.
For 2013 I'm gonna put one foot in front of the other and continue on in a place of peace. The frantic pace of 2012 is behind me. It was more than the book and the garden; I had an interesting year all around.
I'll continue to write quality content for my blog on a weekly basis. Last year I worked on the blog's re-design, making a renewed commitment to bring fresh ideas to my Gardening with Confidence readers. I'll continue to write about gardens for my magazine editors, and will continue to contribute to other writer's books (I contributed to 3 books in 2012!) These assignments are my bread and butter, and they are what keep me going as a writer. I absolutely love what I do.
Thank you for reading my blog. It means a lot to me. Happy 2013.

This morning was our coldest so far this fall, when the temperature fell to 35° at the Toledo Express Airport. The season's first frost was reported in a few neighborhoods.
For tips on protecting plants from the cold air, we went to the Bensell Greenhouse, and spoke to Mary Machon. She has a degree in biology, and owns the business. She told us that some plants like cabbages thrive in the chilly weather. "Their colors are more beautiful, more vibrant due to the colder temperatures and they can even take snow on top of them."
Kale and mums are other examples of plants that you don't need to cover when temperatures fall into the middle 30s.
However, some plants really struggle when temperatures tumble, even just into the 40s.
Mary said, "a lot of people have very large floor plants, a lot of trees like ficus trees or tropical plants that definitely can not take below 50 degrees for any length of time, so people really need to watch the weather and get them inside. Upper 30 degree temperatures will shock the leaves on them, will turn them black. We've had a couple nights with longer periods in the upper 30s, so some of those plants definitely need to get inside."
Other plants do okay until the first freeze. Typically, our first freeze is in early to mid October. Those along the lakeshore are sometimes protected by Lake Erie's mild water until a little later.
"My tomato plants will just crash in these colder temperatures," Mary said.
if you can't bring them inside, you can cover plants on colder nights with a lightweight, natural material like cotton.
"You'd want to stake it down, and just make sure that all of the leaves are covered up. It's as simple as that," Mary explained.
Covering with plastic can do more harm than good.
Mary suggests that you trim the root system and replace the soil, when bringing a potted plant inside for the winter.
The best chance for rain will be late evening Monday into the early morning hours on Tuesday.

Due to an increased interest in premium cabin seating on Delta Airlines flights, the carrier is adding more first class seating to more than 60 percent of its domestic aircraft.
Approximately 350 jets in Delta's fleet will undergo renovations to accommodate more than 1,200 new first class seats on its McDonnell Douglas and Boeing planes. The airline also recently remodeled its Connection regional jets to fit 60-plus seats in its premium class cabins.
"Delta already offers more first class seats than any other U.S. airline. This investment in our fleet bolsters our position as the industry leader in first class seating and is a significant advantage for our business customers," Glen Hauenstein of Delta said in a statement. "It is part of a much larger investment - more than $2 billion - that we're making in our fleet, airports and product."
The airline is scheduled to complete renovations by the summer of 2013, boosting its first class seating by 13 percent.
The expansion of first class seating is especially beneficial to members of Delta's SkyMiles program, which offers unlimited domestic upgrades.

This past weekend, while I was at the University of Richmond, my sister gave me a tour of the campus. And gosh, it was beautiful! (The campus, not the weather…)
This is Robbie. She was super thrilled to pose in my pictures for me. Can't you tell by her face?
I don't actually remember the name of this building, but I remember Robbie telling me that it was where they have concerts and the theater was there, also the art museum. I looked up it up and I think it is Booker. But then Robbie told me that the first pictures were from the Modlin Center?
Isn't this little courtyard wonderful? I love the Gothic-inspired architecture.
More of inside…a building. I don't remember which one. I never know where the heck I am! But I love the purple.
This is all still inside the same building. The views are so pretty! The campus really is gorgeous, it is very green and rich, even in the aftermath of winter.
And very brick.
This was on one of the pathways. I thought I knew where I was, but it turned out, I had no clue. I would have gotten lost easily there – I kept thinking I knew where we were and then we would turn a corner and we would be across campus from where I thought we were! Did that make any sense?
This is Gottwald. Reminds me of Harry Potter (Grindelwald…you know…). Technically, it is Gottwald Center for the Sciences. Robbie said, "If you want to goof off, you go to the library. If you want to actually get something done, you go to Gottwald." Ha.
Inside Gottwald. Oh my gosh I just think the interiors are so beautiful. Why couldn't my school look like that? Most of the buildings at W.S.U. were pretty on the outside, blah on the inside. (Except the CUE.)
Inside the Cannon Memorial Chapel. This is where all of the freshmen girls in Robyn's grade level did their little Proclamation Night thingamajig. Proclamation Night is where Westhampton College (the girls) hold a candlelight ceremony, put on by the upperclassmen, to officially welcome the women of the new class to the college.
This is Westhampton Lake. It is right in the middle of campus. It is super dirty, though. I asked Robbie if you could swim in it and she just snorted. It was full of mud and algae and gross stuff. I didn't look too closely.
Here I am…behind me is the library, kind of. The round circle on the lawn kills the grass in a pattern of a sundial, in honor of the spring equinox. Or something. I'm paraphrasing, here.
This is the student common area. So…artsy! I love the colors. The official name is Tyler Haynes Commons. Also, I scoped out the bookstore, and it ain't got nuttin' on the Bookie! Well. The original Bookie. Not the new one. But I digress.
This was inside the main library on campus, Boatwright Memorial Library. Think of this in a stuffy British accent. That's how I say it. Also, I love love love the Recreational Reading area! I wish my school had had something similar. I think I kind of want one in my own house….
More posed photographs of my sister. She's ecstatic. P.S. see the boots? Those are Hunter Boots, and apparently they are all the rage. (Think Uggs, but rainboot-style.) I don't see the appeal, in fact I first saw a couple of girls wearing them and thought, how sad, they can't afford cute boots so they have to wear fisherman's boots. It turns out they are made in Scotland and called "wellies" so that they can charge an exorbitant price for rubber. At least Uggs are made of animal skin and fur to justify the price! I don't quite understand. But anyway, everyone who's anyone has them. So whatever.
P.S. I did see a girl in a white pair, and I thought they were pretty cute, despite being a teensy impractical. Maybe the rain keeps them clean.
Behind me is Jepson, "School for Leadership Studies." I love this architecture so much. It reminds me of England, or European churches, or something. Ain't it grand?
And, I saved the best for last. This is Robbie's favorite place on campus:
It's called the Atrium, and it is just a small room/hallway located in one of the buildings, which I unfortunately don't remember the name of and can no longer text my sister to ask because she is sleeping. (Her last response: "Booker. I'm sleeping. Don't respond." Haha.)(Update: She says it's in the Old Library.)
Anyway, I would definitely spend all of my time in a room like this, too. It reminds me of The Historian. I feel like in this room you should be surrounded by ancient texts, dripping candles and crotchety old librarian monks. Or something. Even though in reality, the room behind where Robbie is sitting is full of printers, copy machines and modern technology. I think I know which one I prefer…
Robbie also took me to the Lora Robins Gallery of Design from Nature, which is a fancy way of saying, Rock Museum. But, as a person who collected rocks as a child (I have a geologist uncle, okay, these weren't, like, rocks off the beach. We're talking amethyst, rose quartz, Tiger's Eye, etc. All the pretty rocks.), I found this place pretty darn cool.
Look at the size of this geode! Apparently it was originally all in one piece until a workman dropped it while transporting it into the museum. Cringe. The lady manning the desk was the sweetest, most adorable little Southern gal I have ever met. I wanted to take her home with me to be another grandmother! She was so cute, and hilarious, and chatted with us for a good ten minutes, before setting us up in the phosphorescence room (where they turn on a bunch of different lights of different wavelengths to show them fluoresce). She mentioned that museum attendance was pretty slow. It makes me sad. People just don't appreciate art and history like they used to, I feel like. I was brought up in museums and I love them. Maybe I am just an old, boring soul.
As a sidenote regarding the above picture, I don't know why I look so gosh darn awkward.
They had another geode that was nearly as large as the one out front. Also, below is a photograph of part of the museum. There were several rows of this, full of minerals, gems, fossils, jade sculptures, china, ancient coins…oh my gosh, I can't even count it all. It was quite the fascinating collection for a little hole-in-the-wall museum on a college campus. If I ever go back, I would spend some more time in here. We only stayed for about a half an hour – we were late for lunch. :)

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – The Dougherty County taxpayers association wants every property owner in the county to file a property tax return.
Chairman Richard Thomas says he wants the 15,000 property owners to overwhelm the tax office with property tax returns.
He says most people aren't even aware that they have the right to do a return every year. They must be filed by April first.
A workshop Thursday night will give property owners instructions on how to complete a return if they disagree with the assessed values of their homes.
"If you have a complaint about government corruption, mismanagement, failed projects, failed school boards, any of these issues, it's being funded by your property taxes," said Richard Thomas of the Dougherty County Taxpayers Association. "And if you don't show up at this meeting and learn to file a property tax return that you're unhappy about, then you basically are forfeiting your right under the constitution to complain about issues in Dougherty County."
The meeting will be at the Merry Acres conference center at seven o'clock Thursday night.
You can see a property tax return form and a lawsuit the Dougherty Taxpayers Association filed against the tax director on our website.

News: Sean Kingston Confirms Dating Drake's Ex-Wifey, "Sloppy Seconds? Not That At All, She's A Great Woman"
Monday, Nov 21, 2011 6:04PM
Dancehall singer Sean Kingston has confirmed rumors claiming he has linked with rap star Drake's former rumored flame, Maliah Michel, after getting spotted with the video vixen Sunday (November 20).
According to reports, Kingston and Maliah have both confirmed the speculation.
Pop singer Sean Kingston is confirming rumors that he's dating Canadian rapper Drake's ex-girlfriend. The rumors started on Sunday night after Kingston walked the rep carpet at the American Music Awards with Maliah, an urban magazine model. Shortly after their outing, Kingston was slammed by bloggers for dating Drake's "sloppy seconds," but Kingston had this response on Twitter: "Sloppy seconds? Not that at all ... she is a great woman with a great heart that deserves the best in life." Way to stay classy, Kingston. Maliah also retweeted her beau's message to her followers confirming that they are indeed an item. (RumorFix)
In addition to getting name dropped by Drizzy in the past, Maliah was also featured in his "Find Your Love" 2010 music video.
"Someone tell Maliah I'm on fire she should work tonight, all her King of, Diamonds and tell China it'd be worth the flight, I'll be at my table stacking, dollar's to the perfect height, work something twirk something basis, she just tryna make it so she right here gettin naked, I don't judge her, I don't judge her, but I could never love her cause to her I'm just a rapper and soon she'll have met another" Maliah Michel is Drake's recent squeeze, she was also featured as the video vixen in Drake's hit single "Find Your Love." (Drizzy Drake)
In summer 2010, Maliah refused to officially confirm their romance.
"It was so funny because when we were shooting the beach scene [for 'Find Your Love'], the director, Anthony Mandler, was like 'Come on, come on! You got to make me feel this!' And we had never kissed or anything before, so I just went for it and kissed him! And we started kissing for real and everybody just started cheering. [Are we dating now?] Um... Drake and I are good friends, and we like hanging out... having fun together. That's all that anyone needs to know at this point." (VIBE)
Recently, "Bad Girls Club" star Catya opened up about her past close-knit romance with Drizzy.
"I was in love, he was in love and by the way in the song he said he was in love, so don't try to switch it up now," she explained in an interview. "I never mentioned you, you mentioned me. It was good. I'm talking family dinners and we in Whole Foods pushing the cart around. It was a regular relationship. I was in love and he was in love but at the end of the day he started getting a little bit too loose. It's a problem [when] you had the kind of relationship we had. That was my dude; it wasn't somebody I was just kicking it with. If you were just kicking it, you can do what you wanna do but I was yours and you were mine. .... He is a phenomenal 'peach eater' and he is black and Jewish and the black side is Mandingo." (Hot 107.9)

|Are You Sure You'll Get Your Pension?
|Written by APB Staff
But he never received them, and his battle for justice has lasted more than two decades, exposing a dangerous technicality that could lead to other New York state workers losing their benefits, as well.
"It's unlikely I'll ever get justice for what was done to me, but I want to warn others in the state system that they are at risk," said Capria, author of the book Betrayal (www.tonycapria.com).
"When I was finally granted my day in court in 1999, the judge ruled that all of the assertions I made in the case - including one that demonstrated my retirement form was altered by a state official after it was filed - were true.
Capria's story is the cautionary tale of how a government employee can get so wrapped up in the red tape of the system that they can actually lose retirement benefits even though they followed the rules.
His story began in 1985, when he was injured by an inmate who had been agitated by Capria's supervisor. Capria was thrown against the wall, but didn't feel the effects of the blow until later. "The incident set off a time bomb of pain inside my body that gradually worsened until I had to start taking days off from work," he said.
"When I tried to make an 'injury in the line of duty' claim, so I could stay on the payroll, my captain denied my claim."
Previous to his job at the prison, Capria had led one of the local unions, and he believes his activism in exposing waste and corruption in the prison system was a sore point for his captain. What followed was a series of setbacks engineered primarily by his captain, that led to him being forced to retire in 1989 at one-third salary, far short of the full benefits he should have received because he was injured in the line of duty.
"Over the next few years, I filed suit to get reinstated," he added.
"I also sought a full investigation and learned how the captain and others sought to cover up the severity of my medical condition and altered my retirement application.
The only problem was that the process had taken so long that the statute of limitations on that fraud had expired.
"My story is a case study of how a guy who just wanted to do his job well, and perform his duties to the best of his ability, can still wind up losing because of a technicality," Capria said.
"My warning for every state employee everywhere is that all it took for me to lose my house, my benefits and my career was a single piece of paper and a calendar. Until we change the law on the statute of limitations and work for the protection of good workers, the very same thing is happening to others, and could happen to you."
Tony Capria has spent more than 15 years in law enforcement, starting as a policeman in Syracuse, New York. Later, he moved up to the job of investigator in the organized crime unit. After several years running his own business, Tony realized he missed law enforcement and returned to work as a guard at the Jamesville Penitentiary near Syracuse.
