Feel free to use one of the above graphics on your page to show your support of the Silver Ribbon Campaign!
A: The Silver Ribbon Campaign is a grass roots effort started by members of the Our-Kids Mailing List. Our-Kids is a mailing list for professionals, friends, and family members of children with disABILITIES of all sorts. Most members thought it was important to find a way to identify individuals who are interested in promoting awareness and support of children with disABILITIES. Our-Kids kids have needs that are different than adults, and that's what we're trying to promote.
Absolutely NOT! Anyone who is interested in the cause may wear a ribbon. We want as many people to be aware of the special needs of children with disABILITIES. So, if you are a professional, friend, relative, or a child yourself, we certainly would love to have you wear one. We're not snobs here. We all want to further the cause.
The ribbon is similar to other ribbons you may have seen for various causes. It is about 1/2-3/4" wide and is folded to make a loop. You can see a rough picture of what they look like at the top of this page. Those of us who are starting the grass roots campaign will be passing out cards with them that say:
"Consider this silver ribbon a special gift. Please wear it to promote the awareness and support of children with disabilities."
If you would like to make your own ribbons and pass out similar cards, please feel free to do so.
We're currently working out a way to get ribbons to those who can't find the proper materials. Please check back later. I hope to have an answer soon. If you would like to order a pin with the Silver Ribbon Campaign slogan and graphic, click on the "Order a Silver Ribbon Pin Online!" link below.
If you know of other places that proudly support and/or promote the Silver Ribbon Campaign, please let me know...
This is a section for talking about what different people are doing to support the Silver Ribbon Campaign in their community. If you have something to add, please drop me a note. Nothing will help convince folks to start a SRC in their area as much as seeing it at work in other places.
If you have any questions about the campaign, feel free to drop me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will be more than happy to answer your questions, or at the very least, point you in the right direction.

President Barack Obama talks with Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko during a state call at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, April 24, 2014. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
Hello people !!
Happy Thursday!
Yo, y'all! Tally, lead the way!
Hi Tally – are you breathing easier now that CA did such a great job enrolling people? We're still slogging away here in OR. Congratulations on first!
Judith I saw that the Feds might take over the Oregon exchange. It was a little blurb and I dont remember where I saw it. Have you heard anything?
I saw that too…
Bill R. would be another good Oregonian to ask.
He's very, very active in getting people signed up for medical insurance.
He mentioned recently that the Oregon deadline was later than the April 15th deadline for everyone else. Not sure why this would be so.
Oregon intends to surrender its dysfunctional Obamacare exchange to the Obama administration, which is making plans to take over the state's insurance marketplace, sources familiar with the matter confirmed.
The state-based exchange, Cover Oregon, was such a disaster that — despite spending millions of dollars trying to make it work — not a single resident was able to sign up online during the first open-enrollment period from Oct. 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. Instead, thousands signed up by paper or phone.
On Thursday, Oregon's top information-technology official recommended to a 16-member advisory board that the state relinquish its broken insurance exchange, according to The Oregonian. The Obama administration expects the full exchange panel to approve the recommendation.
Yes – that's pretty much it. It's been tremendously frustrating, but we ARE getting people signed up. The navigators can use the buggy website without problems to walk people through the process. It was so bad, our enrollment deadline was extended to April 30th. We still have several enrollment fairs around the state which my team has been publicizing. The media and the GOP will try to take down Senator Merkley and Governor Kitzhaber, but I doubt they will succeed. We absolutely have to GOTV!
As Sec Kerry noted, Putin's propaganda machine is no match for the millions committed to spreading the truth ….
"We would like to note the following in connection with the statement by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu about the start of military exercises by Russian troops near the state border with Ukraine:
We have not observed a noticeable increase in the deployment of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border. According to our data, Russian battalion tactical groups of combined arms formations from the Southern and Western Military Districts, mentioned by the Russian Defense Minister, were already established a few days ago (as reported earlier by the IR group).
There continue to be up to 50,000 Russian soldiers deployed in the 150 km [93 mile] zone from the state border in Russia.
Therefore, it is difficult to talk about the current concentration of Russian troops at the border as Russia's response to the ATO conducted in eastern Ukraine. This group of Russian troops was deployed at the border prior to these events."
Economic warfare is not a joke ….
"Russia scrapped bond sales for the seventh time in eight weeks as investors demanded higher yields after the U.S. said the country wasn't taking steps to de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine.
The Finance Ministry canceled the sale of as much as 10 billion rubles ($280 million) of nine-year ruble securities and the same amount of five-year notes because there were no bids at acceptable prices, according to a statement on its website."

Happy Birthday Library of Congress.
True Confession: I have a brother, (no names now), who seems to seriously want Jesse Ventura to run for the WH in 2016. I have to say, I really don't know how to respond to this. Hope his meds aren't slipping.
I hope he knows that JV due to some heavy criticisms from the press, left his gubernatorial office early. It was a 4yr one term gig and he bolted when the criticism got to him.
How Dmitry Tymchuk Broke the Russian Blogosphere
"Dmitry Tymchuk is, in fact, a real person. His Facebook posts attract so many shares and so few comments because the ability to comment on his posts is restricted to his friends. (He has almost 80 thousand followers, but just 5 thousand friends.) Since Sannikov's article was published, Tymchuk has appeared in person for several interviews and conferences. When he granted an interview to Ukraine's premier Internet television station, Hromadske.TV, the host even poked Tymchuk in the arm, to confirm for viewers that he isn't an Internet phantom invented by NATO.
Tymchuk has been publishing pro-Ukrainian, anti-Russian memos and opinion pieces for nearly six years. In August 2008, when Russia was at war with Georgia, he wrote that Ukraine should study the conflict, in anticipation of facing future Russia aggression. In December 2008, when Ukraine finally withdrew the last of its armed contingent from the multinational force deployed to Iraq, Tymchuk wrote that Ukraine had gained military experience that would be valuable in future conflicts closer to home.
In other words, Tymchuk is your standard patriotic blogger. Certainly more energetic and better informed than the average Internet user, Tymchuk has scribbled away on obscure websites for nearly six years, consistently thrashing what he perceives to be Ukraine's aggressive neighbor to the east. After annexing roughly four percent of Ukraine's population, and threatening to "liberate" still more, Russia has made Tymchuk a star of Ukraine's political scene.
Rather than acknowledge Moscow's role in promoting Tymchuk, some Russian bloggers prefer to blame NATO. Life, after all, is simpler with your head in the sand."
Is Dmitry Tymchuk really real?
And for god's sake get it right: Voices of Ukraine translates his writings into… fb.me/3nr7UUDYV—

re: South Korea:
A couple of days ago I wondered why South Korea wasn't pulling out all the stops for our President's visit, and now have seen a couple of different answers.
From Korean news:
South Korea had planned a dinner w/ 100-200 Korean & US business leaders, but Obama's itinerary did not permit it.
Arapaho415 (@arapaho415) April 24, 2014
South Korean diplomats are characterizing it as a visit by an old friend — a pointed contrast to Mr. Obama's more formal two-day stop in Japan, which includes an elaborate welcoming ceremony at the Imperial Palace, an audience with Emperor Akihito and a state dinner.
Saw Dudette's question on the previous thread which asked whether anyone else had seen a clip of President Obama with South Korean President Park Geun-hye (aired over television airwaves?).
I searched on Google for President Obama in South Korea, and the top results were about how the ferry disaster may overshadow our President's visit there.
Our MSM jumps on the RWNJ bandwagon that "it's all Obama's fault."
Geez, he can't win for losing.

I think she may have missed this encouraging news on Danny's 8-month BD.
From MomSense, on today's Early Bird Chat thread (I'm not sure how old her puppy was when he ate everything in sight):
GM everyone! Been a crazy week for me and I'm just trying to get caught up. Wanted to stop by and say hello. Even when I don't have time to comment, I always love reading the posts and seeing all the fantastic pictures. Thanks again and a very happy 8 month birthday to Danny. Don't worry, he will settle down. My 14 year old sweetheart of a lab ate a palm pilot, camera, a coffee table, and my brand new beautiful boots (my one splurge purchase from a trip to Australia!) all because I forgot to latch his crate when I left the house for 3 hours to go to a pre-school sing along. He grew up and has been the best friend ever. So if you can slow him down for a second, please give him a skritch from me!

Weigh in with your thoughts…
I was looking at the HayWord blog today, and I didn't see a way to post a new topic. Councilman Bill Quirk suggested that I post the following letter to your blog. He brought it up in City Council but couldn't get enough votes to take action. I think you will agree that I point out the biggest problem facing Hayward today. And what's amazing is that this problem is just about invisible to most Hayward residents.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
Jeff Syrop
From: Jeff Syrop
Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 4:37 PM
To: Mayor Michael Sweeney; Councilman Bill Quirk
Cc: Congressman Pete Stark
Subject: model resolution for Mayor Michael Sweeny and Councilman Bill Quirk
Hello Michael and Bill,
I ask you, would it have been worth it, in 1939 in Nazi Germany, for a local politician to spend all of his political energy fixing roads, improving libraries, and building new schools? Of course not. With foresight, a local politician living under that regime could have seen that within a few years, almost all of Germany would be pulverized by British and American bombs. When the kitchen is on fire, you don't wash the dishes.
Bill Quirk, you talk down to me as if I were younger than you and as if you were the more knowledgeable man. You, like Pete Stark, claim to be "practical," and you state that for a locality such as Hayward to deal with national and international concerns is a waste of time. Well, I'm here to tell you you're wrong.
Nancy Pelosi, when she says "impeachment is off the table," is not only wrong, but she's breaking Constitutional law and breaking the oath to protect the Constitution that she swore when she took office. Honestly, when is the last time you read the whole Constitution, including our Bill of Rights? And when did you last read the whole Declaration of Independence? IF we are a nation of laws, then Bush should be arrested today. By the simple letter of the law, he is not only a criminal but THE most dangerous enemy of America. Please keep an open mind about impeaching Bush and Cheney. Even if unsuccessful, impeachment proceedings might tie their hands politically and make it impossible for them to attack Iran.
So I do realize that impeachment is probably impossible, since our Democrats in Congress are complicit in Bush/Cheney's crimes. However, I think it is insane (literally, like washing the dishes when the kitchen is on fire) to ignore the problem of the Bush/Cheney government. For some reason–brainwashing? denial? mass psychosis–you and all the members of Hayward city government seem unaware that HAYWARD'S BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE BUSH/CHENEY GOVERNMENT.
What I am asking is that you, as representatives of me and of every sane, patriotic person in Hayward, let Hayward stand up and be counted among the hundreds of towns and cities that have passed impeachment resolutions. Further, I ask that Hayward join the few brave towns, such as Brattleboro, Vermont, that have actually made Bush and Cheney subject to arrest should they set foot in the town! Do you have the guts? Did you read JFK's "Profiles in Courage" when you were young? (If not, I trust you will buy it and read it now–I consider it required reading in order for you or any political representative to do their job.)
Below are two good links to materials you can use to get started. It's easy!
How to Get Your Town or City to Indict Bush and Cheney
A Guide to the Impeachment of George W Bush and Richard Cheney
Thanks to both of you. Please share this e-mail with your associates, and from now on, whenever you meet for City Council business or any other public meetings, please don't fail to discuss the most important problem facing Hayward. Three billion dollars a week of borrowed money being squandered to destroy and subjugate people in Iraq is exactly equivalent to America bleeding to death right before your eyes. Crime, roads, and infrastructure can only get worse in Hayward if a huge piece of the tax taken out of my paycheck continues to go to the Pentagon. Germany was doomed by its people following Hitler. America will be doomed if we continue to follow Bush/Cheney and McCain. This is not some farfetched possibility, it is a fact.

The West held on to win the 2012 NBA All-Star Game in Orlando by the score 152-149 despite a spirited comeback from 21 down by the East. Kevin Durant led the West with 36 points, and Kobe Bryant followed with 27. LeBron James had 36 for the East, as well. Dwyane Wade registered the All-Star Game's third ever triple-double with 24 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.
The last four minutes of the game were wild and competitive. LeBron hit two monster three-pointers late, and missed a third that would have set the world on collapsing unto itself. But he had a bad turnover with the East down three in the closing seconds. He tried to hit Wade with a cross-court pass after an offensive rebound by Deron Williams, but saw the ball intercepted.
That play came shortly after Wade mishandled an outlet pass. Here's a clip with both turnovers.
Durant won the MVP award.

GRAMBLING, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Grambling University football players have announced that they are returning back to the football field.
In a statement released to KNOE 8 News, the football team said that they have addressed their concerns and are working with Grambling alumni and donors to secure help.
As part of an agreement for help from these individuals, the team has committed to playing again.
The statement could end a week of turmoil between the university and its football team. Players boycotted playing last week against Jackson State University. They claimed facility problems, equipment issues, the firing of Doug Williams, and a lack of administrative support as the driving forces behind the boycott.
Naquan Smith issued the statement on behalf of the football team.
You can read the full statement here:
To Whom it may concern:
"As part of the athletic program at Grambling State University, the football team, took a stance on what we thought was right. We did not quit on our university. There are many problems that exist and if no one says anything, nothing will come of our institution. We hope Coach Eddie Robinson and his legendary players can appreciate that we stood up for what we thought was right. After coming into contact with different sources, we decided to reach out to the one person we trusted, Coach Doug Williams, with our concerns. His main statement to us was, "Go out there and play football." He also put us in contact with Jim Bernhard out of Baton Rouge. A meeting was held with Mr. Bernhard as well as, Douglas Porter, Ezil Bibbs, Roy Jackson, Henry Dyer and Howard Davis. The meeting confirmed him [Jim Bernhard] as being committed with our best intentions at heart and that he would ensure we had updated facilities, but we had to agree to being back practicing Monday, October 21 and finish the remainder of our season. Although we are going to continue our season, we have not forgotten the situation and how we've gotten here. We would like to say thank you to Coach Williams, the Legends and Mr. Jim Bernhard. Grambling has given us the opportunity to be a part of its legacy and we are only looking to improve conditions for the university and future student-athletes."
Thank You,
Naquan Smith

CATEGORIES MoviesJaden Smith is not getting emancipated.
On today's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the young actor set the record straight about whether he is seeking emancipation from parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. Earlier this week, The Sun had quoted Will Smith as saying his son asked for the legal separation for his 15th birthday on July 8.
But Jaden Smith told DeGeneres, "I'm not going anywhere. The thing that people don't get is everything at this house is free! So I can get anything and everything at his house, so I'm going to be there 20, 30 more years."
Father and son are starring together in the sci-fi action movie "After Earth," which hits theaters May 31. And neither expects to be parted from the other anytime soon.
"I think I made a joke in Tokyo," Will Smith explained of his quotes. "I mean... my baby boy, he's never leaving me, ever. No emancipation for the Smith kids."
Well, unless Jaden eclipses his movie star father. "He says as soon as I have a movie that's bigger than one of his movies, I can get my own house," he joked.

Teddy wins! Teddy wins!
For the first time, the Teddy Roosevelt mascot won the Presidents Race in the middle of the fourth inning at Nationals Park -- a pursuit that drew attention even from a White House spokesman and Sen. John McCain.
Teddy -- Mr. Rough Rider, himself -- had lost more than 500 times since 2006, when the Washington Nationals baseball team began having races among 10-foot-tall foam renderings of Roosevelt, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln at home games.
The crowd cheered wildly Wednesday when Teddy triumphed in the last game of the 2012 regular season, helped when a green mascot wearing a jersey of the Philadelphia Phillies -- Washington's opponent -- knocked down the other three presidents.
The game's very next batter, Washington third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, hit a homer leading off the bottom of the fourth for the home team's first run of the afternoon. The hitter after that, Michael Morse, doubled and eventually scored, too.
Teddy's triumph is the latest in a streak of unprecedented success for the Nationals.
They clinched their first NL East division title Monday and are bringing postseason Major League Baseball to the nation's capital for the first time since the Washington Senators lost in the 1933 World Series.
On his Twitter account, Teddy tweeted:
"I'm just getting warmed up! Time to get ready for the postseason! You ain't seen nothing yet! The Rough Rider has arrived!" - @Teddy26Nats
The sport was missing from Washington for more than three decades until MLB moved the Montreal Expos to D.C. before the 2005 season. The next year, the club began holding the Presidents Race, modeled after mascot runs held at baseball games in Milwaukee (where sausages "compete") and Pittsburgh (where it's pierogies).
For some time, there was a growing campaign by some fans -- and folks in high places -- to allow Roosevelt's entry to finally finish first.
Aboard Air Force One during a trip to Florida last month, White House press secretary Jay Carney playfully called Teddy's losing streak "an outrage" and also noted he was "comfortable saying" that President Barack Obama agreed with the sentiment.
McCain, the Republican nominee for President in 2008, even took part in a video shown on the stadium's outfield scoreboard this week.
In the clip, the senator was seen giving Teddy a pep talk. Worked, apparently.

Intense debate in Parliament over euro crisis
Government wins confidence vote
Timo Soini
Kimmo Tiilikainen
Jyrki Katainen
Jutta Urpilainen
print this
The government responded on Tuesday to an interpellation put forward by the opposition True Finns party on the euro crisis. In the interpellation, the True Finns criticise the government for agreeing to give direct support to overextended euro countries. In its response, the government said that it is in Finland's own interest to be in the core of the EU, wielding influence on matters. The government also denied that Parliamentary authority over the national budget was being relinquished to the European Commission, or that Finland would be accepting the so-called Eurobonds. After the interpellation debate, the government won a vote of confidence on Wednesday 116 – 73. Ten Members of Parliament were absent.
Soini: The government failed
True Finns party chairman
Timo Soini
started his somewhat theatrical speech by lashing out at last week's European Union summit, saying that the government of Prime Minister
Jyrki Katainen
(Nat. Coalition Party) took a big step toward a "debt union", a loss of national budgetary power, and the erosion of Finnish sovereignty.
"Finland must not take part in these mechanisms. They oppress Finland in particular, by making us responsible for the blunders of others."
Soini said that the EU summit did not manage to remove the causes of the European economic crisis, but it did remove the requirement of consensus in decision-making, depriving Finland of the veto.
The summit decided
that the planned European Stability Mechanism (ESM) would aim at making decisions based on an 85 per cent qualified majority, measured according to each country's capital input. There was also a footnote in the declaration that qualified majority decision-making would require approval by Parliament.
"The government's only achievement was this vague footnote, and now the scheming has started on how that will also be eliminated", Soini thundered.
Antti Kaikkonen
(Centre Party) asked Prime Minister Katainen why he did not simply veto the decision on qualified majorities in the ESM treaty. He got no answer from Katainen.
Soini said that Finland should prepare
for the disintegration of the euro.
Kimmo Tiilikainen
, the chairman of the Parliamentary group of the Centre Party, said that the Centre is willing to try to help save the euro, but indicated that there is a limit to the price that it would be willing to pay. He emphasised that the Centre Party does not want the eurozone to fall apart, but that preparations need to be made in case that happens.
The Centre Party would have wanted the government to set up a united front aimed at stabilising the euro, while maintaining national self-determination and budgetary power, and would limit the liability of Finnish taxpayers.
Katainen comes out swinging
Responding to the True Finns' interpellation, Prime Minister Katainen did not mince words. He spoke directly to Timo Soini, who was in the front row.
"You work every day to get Finland out of the EU. You work every day so that the euro, our currency, would fall apart. You believe that it would be good for Finland for our common currency to disintegrate, because you are not afraid of a recession."
Katainen said that defeating the crisis
requires the bearing of responsibility, and that there are no easy solutions to the crisis.
Katainen pointed to what he saw as a contradiction in Soini's proposals for handling the crisis – calling for keeping Finland out of the arrangement, while supporting the financing of the crisis countries by the International Monetary Fund.
He said that cutting the debts of the countries in crisis is not a solution, because countries that have had their debts restructured cannot borrow money from the market, and will require assistance from Europe and the IMF.
Katainen was backed up
by Minister of Finance
Jutta Urpilainen
(SDP), who said that her ministry has concluded that going back to a separate national currency would lead to unemployment levels worse than the recession of the 1990s and a collapse of GDP that would last for a long time.
During the interpellation debate MPs suggested various causes of the economic crisis. Culprits mentioned included irresponsible governments, neo-liberal economic policies, and an excessively narrow role for the European Central Bank.
Social Democratic Party parliamentary group leader
Jouni Backman
blamed the crises in different parts of the world on a long history of greed and short-sighted capitalism that fixates on quarterly profit figures.
Backman also emphasised that the SDP
is in favour of the principle of unanimity in decision-making in the ESM.
Katainen reiterated that Finland will continue to negotiate with the aim of an outcome that would respect Finnish legislation and would be acceptable by other countries as well.

Business Insider
Now we know more about what he said, thanks to the FT, which also has a great primer on the Basel III capital requirements and why bank CEOs, like Dimon, disagree with the rules that it plans to impose.
Here's what Dimon said to Carney on September 23, from the FT:
Mr Dimon lambasted Mr Carney – complaining vehemently that the Basel committee's plan to subject his own and other large institutions to even higher capital requirements than those faced by smaller peers was ill-thought-out and economically and philosophically wrong. He also insisted that some provisions discriminated against US banks.
[And he will -]
... continue to use the phrase "anti-American" [which he first used in a Financial Times interview] because it seemed to resonate with people who might be able to modify the reforms.
Another one of the reasons they object is that they are convinced their European counterparts are cheating by manipulating the way they measure risk in order to reduce their capital requirements.
This might be one way that the rules "discriminate" against US banks. Other ways, cited by the FT:
[The Basel III proposal currently] includes a clause that would make it easier for French banks to count the capital in their insurance subsidiaries towards their overall total...
The EU draft also appears to gut the "leverage ratio" – a measure backed by the US and UK that seeks to keep banks from bulking up their total assets in relation to their equity.
Note: The fight might have actually started last year, when during a speech, Carney cited something that Dimon said to his daughter, and referred to him as a "jaded bank CEO" a year ago on September 14, at the Deutsche Bundesbank's annual Bundesbank Lecture, in a speech called, "The Economic Consequences of Reforms. He said: "Consider the jaded attitudes of the bank CEO who recounted: "My daughter called me from school one day, and said, 'Dad, what's a financial crisis?' And, without trying to be funny, I said, 'This type of thing happens every five to seven years.' Should we be content with a dreary cycle of upheaval? Such resignation would be costly."

Georgia is launching an initiative to protect its military bases in the coming years as the Pentagon cuts its budget and possibly closes some bases.
The Governor's Defense Initiative, announced by Gov. Nathan Deal last month, will try to strengthen its lobbying of defense policymakers in Washington while also working to recruit private industry to military communities.
The initiative will be led by a Washington consultant who's familiar with both Georgia and the Pentagon. Will Ball worked as chief of staff to former Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge and as Navy secretary under President Ronald Reagan.
Ball says Georgia's nine military bases are in a "tremendous period of uncertainty." The so-called fiscal cliff could trigger steep military cuts, and a new round of base closings is likely in 2015.

Thule Ascent for additional storage space during your ride
Those who love mountain views may opt to have a picnic on an open field for a chance to breathe in cool mountain air and enjoy the majestic beauty of a mountain. In such an instance, there might be many things to carry for an outing with a family.
The things may not fit well into a vehicle's boot. If you were to install a Thule Ascent rooftop carrier onto the vehicle's roof, you would have additional storage space for the things, which you need. This type of carrier is strong enough to withstand bumps and the like during a car ride to a mountain area. Installing it is rather quick and easy too.
You do not need to use any tools to do so. One of the hitch bike racks might come in handy if you decide to take some bikes with you for the drive to the mountain area. Setting the bikes up properly in such a rack is important to ensure that the vehicle and the bikes are not damaged in any way during your bumpy ride.
If the Saris bike rack was installed properly, you do not have to worry about the bikes coming loose or your vehicle being damaged along the way.

Need Insider subscription: http://insider.espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/basketball/mens/story/_/id/9250181/trey-lyles-dakota-mathias-jaquan-lyle-more-basketball-recruiting-buzz
I've been told not to copy-and-paste the whole piece, so I am only showing the relevant part, and I think the last sentence sums it up best (and the more I read the more I love this kid):
Mathias is vanilla in his approach to recruiting and was intent on ending it early. Why? Because from what I can tell, the only thing important to him is improving.
Some of us were fortunate enough to grow up with a basket in the backyard. Mathias, meanwhile, has a whole court at home and a whiteboard, according to one coach, where he writes down his own strengths and weaknesses, plus motivators for improvement. Who doesn't want to coach a kid like this?
This past weekend at Spiece, he put a moderately talented NW Ohio Stars travel team program on his back and took it to the semifinals before Team Thad ended the run. Throughout the weekend, Mathias competed -- and I mean to the point where he would tell the coach what to run and then go out and get it done.
Guys like this have a certain will to them. Purdue fans might get caught up in the fact that Mathias is not national ranked, but that doesn't do a player like this justice. You can't quantify his intangibles, commitment to competing and basketball IQ.
Personally, I'd toss this guy into the back of the top 100 and watch his development. Recruits like this are invaluable pieces. He's not going to be Purdue's best talent, but you watch: He'll be a starter in the program and a player who raises the competition level of the team. I can't tell you he's an electric prospect or a high-riser, but when the ball gets rolled out he'll be the first one to dive on it. There's no need to over-evaluate Mathias, just let him play.

This email comes to us from Mike Grysko ...
This battle has been going on for a while..
Back in the 70's (last century) there were a lot of people from Georgia moving to Florida for the more ample benefits available under Florida law. The Florida Legislature complained to the State of Georgia.
Some Congressman got up in the Georgia House and said " This is one of the few times in history when a single move increased the intelligence level of two states ."

This probably will not help you very much, but we've had _major_ problems running Silverstripe on PHP 5.1.2. Don't know about older versions. But from 5.1.6 on we've had no problems.
Re: new hosting provider, new challenge

Hello Fuzz10
Strike! Thanks for your hint.
The Problem was caused from the php version < 5.1.x
After upgrading (add parameter to .htaccess) the php version to 5.2.2 the website appear!
But now I have the famous memory problem
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4980736 bytes).
I've tried to set ini_set("memory_limit","32M"); in sapphire/main.php without any success. After a few reload the site works if I don't use ?flush=1
Although with php 5.2.2 I still have the sitemap.xml issue with a new error:
FATAL ERROR: No current controller available
At line 329 in .../sapphire/core/control/Controller.php
Anybody an idea?

Try setting it to 64mb.
I've heard that the latest version requires more than 32mb. (This might be only when installing though.)
Alternatively try setting the memorylimit in your htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

Glad to hear it runs ; I know how aggravating it can be losing a lot of time getting something online. ;-) I guess it is pretty safe to say Silverstripe _needs_ PHP > 5.1.2 and > 32MB scriptmem.
Very weird error ... You don't happen to accidentally have a conflicting page or class called Sitemap ?
Re: new hosting provider, new challenge
14 December 2007 at 3:04am
Hello guys
Thanks for your great support! It works now!
Step by step we come to the point and by the way we detect some interesting facts
I've changed the saphire/main.php value from 32 to 64
and also adapted the .htaccess from 32 to 64
php_value memory_limit 64M
* * * * * * *
The sitemap.xml issue still persist. I've checked the page names and classes.
No doublets at all. But I have news!
I have figured out that when I changed the set_environment_type parameter in my _config.php from dev to live or remove it, the FATAL ERROR doesn't occure anymore.
Director::set_environment_type("live"); instead I have a new FATAL ERROR
Fatal error: Call to a member function getSession() on a non-object in .../sapphire/core/Session.php on line 32
God bless the session();
Re: new hosting provider, new challenge
14 December 2007 at 10:45pm
Update on sitemap.xml
I've installed the new release candidate 2.2.1 rc1
and the sitemap rocks!!
Thanks all

What a great cookbook. We aren't big on Halloween in our house...but we still love treats!!!ReplyDelete
Hi Catherine, I see you have been busy! These little monsters look really yummy. All the ingredients are a great combination. Very easy, and a great snack when you are looking for that little something to crunch, and they contain chocolate! I also love anything with raisins. Happy Halloween! Blessings for a wonderful Sunday, Dottie :)ReplyDelete
Hi Catherine , they look spooky delicious , they also look like turtle chocolate candy , these are a must do for halloween , thanks for sharing :) .ReplyDelete
Love that you used honey bunches of oats in a no bake! Mmm YUM.ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing these lovely and delicious treat ! Have a great week, blessings...ReplyDelete
We are big on Halloween - and I am trying to go gluten free - sounded interesting! Thanks.ReplyDelete
Such a quick and easy dessert!!! Any special plans for Halloween??
Mr. & Mrs. P
Catherine, I can see us making these 'cookies' as a dessert for our next wine tasting. As for Halloween, good news and bad news... Where we live, there aren't very many kids and the houses are spread out so we don't get any trick or treaters. We do save a lot of money though! Where we lived in Chicago, it wouldn't have been unusual to have 300 kids come to our door! Take Care, Big Daddy DaveReplyDelete
Oh yummy. These look really good.
Have a fabulous day Catherine. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
What a fabulous simple little recipe!ReplyDelete

These are pretty much the same wherever you go. After the health department shut down a few around Chicago, I thought it was gone for good, but it came back new and improved.
It's attached to a Holiday Inn or something, right by the Randhurst Village shopping megaplex. Limited parking lot was full on a Thursday night, likely for the Blackhawks game that was just starting. They jacked the sound up and dimmed the lights for that.
Inside its dark wood paneling and framed photos of various attempts at classy decor. At the rectangular island bar, you can watch 6 tvs at once, sort of like at Best Buy. This is a sports bar trying to be upscale. The crowd was mainly drinking bud light bottles and mixed drinks. Service at the bar was timely and friendly. Atmosphere leaves something to be desired, just a little artificial feeling.
The beer list was decent, but sort of middle of the road. Seasonals weren't listed, only a brewery name and "ask server" for O'so, Great Lakes, Lakefront, North Coast, DFH, Point, and an FFF bottled beer (out of less than 10 mostly macros). Can't they just print what they have? Not like it really changes much. Half of the drafts were macros or Sam Adams, the other some crafts like Sumpin' Sumpin', Matilda, Boulevard 80 Acre, etc. As I was leaving I saw a handwritten ad for a Lakefront event with a firkin from a couple weeks ago, and another listing upcoming drafts. Might be a good idea to put that on the beer list inside?
Overall it's sort of a 'whatever' place, good if you want to catch a game or eat nachos. Blackfinn is nearby and not much better for atmosphere, but at least they have some interesting local drafts.

I stopped in here before a cookout my buddy was throwing down the street. I had a goal in mind...more on that later. The place comes across as a slightly dank version of a sports bar, with plenty of ESPN-tuned flat screens and generic music, but with lower lighting and a darker color scheme. It's a strange combination that I can't say I'm much of a fan of. At the bar, I looked over the taps, which included plenty of BMC, Guinness, Leinie's, and some better stuff, like Arcadia, Dogfish Head, Lagunitas, O'So, Three Floyds, Founders, Greenbush, Smuttynose, and Saugatuck. What makes the selection better is that they occasionally have some random local stuff that other nearby places don't get: my goal this time was newcomer Ten Ninety's Imperial Porter (which they had), and a subsequent visit sought 5 Rabbit's first issuing of Paletas (which had tapped earlier). These occasional tidbits are the only reason the selection is of any note. The bartenders were genial enough, but they're not all that knowledgeable. I didn't notice any bottle list, nor any tap list (which is irritating). I didn't have any food, but it looked to be your standard sports bar fare. Overall, this place is no destination, but a decent source of good beers that other such places may not have. I'm likely to choose this place over nearby BlackFinn, but only because of the slightly larger selection and the chance of finding something cool.

One of favorite local spots to hit up for either a night out or to catch a Chicago Blackhawks game!! T.Vs all around the bar and tables. Plenty of room to sit even with larger parties. They also have a good size outdoor patio.
The service is excellent, very friendly and the management staff is top notch. DJ one of the GM is there and totally into the craft beer also a mixoligist!! Heather and him have done a great job keeping some craft beer on tap!
The food is great I usually will stick with what I like and that's the flat bread pizzas but the burgers are no joke!!
The Tap list is pretty good 40 taps but about half are the usual domestic and import beers. Was there a few weeks ago and had Hopslam, Dragons Milk, Wells Banana Bread (surprised)
Founders Breakfast, old chub and Anti Hero. Have a good bottle selection was told will be expanding it soon. Had all the FFF beers Gumball Head had to get one!! Also Lagunitas Sucks!!
Overall a great place, even to take your not so drinking craft beer buddies since they have plenty of Miller and bud in bottles and tap!!

This is going to be a short piece about some players that were on the roster before the start of the offseason and have been somewhat ignored because of the additions that we've made. On each side of the ball I'm going to look at one player who will play a big part in the Titans 2013 team and another that will only be used sparingly but its a better player than given credit for. The fact that I had to narrow this down to 4 players really stands out as a testament to the improved depth the 2013 Titans have that the 2012 Titans somewhat lacked. Last year all of these guys were going into the season guaranteed a roster spot and didn't have any competition. Three of these four will have some form of competition in camp to keep their jobs.
There has been a big focus on the additions to the D-Line in Ropati Pitoitua, Sammie Lee Hill and Lavar Edwards. Also given the interest that the Titans have in adding Freeney, Idonije or Abraham you could be forgiven for overlooking the players who are already on the roster. The two players I have in mind are Mike Martin and Scott Solomon.
On offense I'll be looking at Byron Stingily and Quinn Johnson two players who are going to be more important to the Titans than we imagine. Stingily is more of a long term potential guy and QJ is going to make an impact this season.
Mike Martin
Everybody seems to have penciled Sammie Lee Hill into the second DT spot next to Jurrell Casey but I would think that given a strong rookie campaign Mike Martin would be given at least a shot at the starting role. PFF loves this guy and is one of their top 'underpaid' guys on our roster. I'm not going to write much on Martin but I think he has a serious chance of being a 3 down DT in the league. With the way the NFL is going, being more and more pass oriented a big bodied guy like Sammie Lee Hill who is going to primarily be a run stuffer will get a lower % of the snaps than he would have 5 years ago.
Now I'm sure some of you would have seen Scott Soloman and just ignored it, but hear me out. This is a guy that the Titans valued enough to trade up for using a sixth rounder and a seventh rounder on last season. He's a notorious high motor guy, struggled with a knee injury last year and trying to find some evidence of him playing at 100% is pretty hard to find. However whilst doing some research for this post I looked at snap counts I think its a good indicator of how much faith the Titans have in him. For someone who only managed to suit up in 13 games he managed to get the 6th most snaps of all of our defensive lineman, more than Karl Klug. Now just under half of those snaps came on special teams. With the snaps he got on defense he managed 4 pressures in 84 snaps by no means setting the world on fire. I'm not suggesting he will be some sort of standout player, but I expect him to make the roster and hopefully take some steps forward in his second season.
Byron Stingily
I've heard some people on the site, especially recently talking about the downturn in Dave Stewarts play in 2012, whilst he wasn't a liability it wasn't his best season by any stretch of the imagination. This is the first time in a long time there is some debate as to the long term future at the tackle position. The Titans have brought in Eric Winston for a visit. Dave Stewarts leg is apparently not healing as well as we would like so it is only prudent to bring in someone to explore our options especially with Stewart in what potentially could be the last year of his contract.. That's all well and good but what does it mean to Stingily.
There was some speculation on the site before the draft about drafting a late round tackle and letting him develop. I didn't see the point because we already have that guy on the roster in Stingily. He might be the biggest athletic freak on the roster and has gotten some brilliant coaching since he got into the league. Now the first question in your head must be, well everyone got hurt on the line last year and the replacements were terrible weren't they? Well not Stingily PFF thought he showed some real promise in the two games he played at the end of the season.
Byron Stingily(+2.3) who before today had only played one NFL snap on offense. He'll face bigger tests than Dezman Moses and Erik Walden, but he didn't buckle where others might have. Encouraging. (PACKERS GAME)
The latest Titan to take over the right tackle spot was 2011 sixth-round pick Byron Stingily, and he also performed well, allowing only a hit in 49 pass blocking attempts. (JAGUARS GAME)
This is a guy with a really high ceiling who was taken late in a draft a few years ago who has received some good coaching and despite massive ineptitude next to him played admirably. He could well be in for a future starting role looking past the 2013 season.
Quinn Johnson
He might not be my favourite Titan but make no mistake about it we are going to be carrying a specialist fullback on the roster and he will see significant playing time. Its not easy to find interesting things about a fullback but searching the annuls of PFF I did find their look back on his drafting and they said this of him
You can never have enough fullbacks' right? Johnson did a decent job as one of the Packers lead blockers, earning a +8.4 grade in 419 snaps before he became surplus to requirements.
I think QJ is an underrated Titan, he is a pretty good lead blocker. Fullback might not be a sexy position but its certainly one that we will get great use out of next year. Craig Stevens and Delanie Walker will play some FB as well but there is little doubt in my mind that QJ will be on the roster and be there blocking for CJ all year.
This is a post about a couple of fringe players for the Titans and two players who might be in for significant playing time this year. It wasn't meant to give any new perspective on the abilities of each player but just to showcase the strength in depth that is on this roster and hopefully shine some light on Titans players who aren't being discussed too often on the site.

The Feria de San Marcos is just one of the reasons Aguascalientes won't fade from your memory. This vibrant mix of traditional roots and modern artistic expressions is a sure way to get up close and personal with "deep Mexico": with rodeo-style shows, crafts stalls and exhibitions, traditional food and cock fighting in the afternoons, by night the city is literally buzzing with Mariachi brass. In recent years –as it has become increasingly popular with young people and tourists– the feria has taken on a more modern character, so mixed in with traditional provincial fare you'll find performances of pop, rock, grupera and other contemporary music.
Organized in honor of the San Marcos neighborhood Saint, the feria takes place the last two weeks in April and the first two weeks in May. During the feria, you can wander between its main sites in the San Marcos Garden, the San Marcos Temple, the Bullring, the Municipal Theater, and San Marcos Island –ideal for a family day out, the latter is especially good if you're bringing the children along.
Whether you're staying for a long weekend or hoping to enjoy more of the feria, this 23-day party is a hive of activity throughout: boredom is out of the question. Whether you fancy watching some horse racing or traditional bullfighting –complete with internationally-renowned matadors–, or taking in the more leisurely aspects of the feria such as the local crafts displays, food stalls and restaurants, there's plenty to do for the curious and intrepid visitor. If you've come for the music, the Municipal Theater is the place to head for: hosting rock, pop and grupera artists, in addition to more famous names, such as Lila Downs, Tania Libertad and El Tri, among others.
As well as a visit to San Marcos Island, if you're coming as a family, you can also enjoy some of the many dance and music shows, fairground rides and other typical carnival activities. Just to mix things up, every year, the Feria de San Marcos welcomes two guests of honor, one country and one Mexican state, giving them the chance to put the best of their culture on show in exhibitions, stands and other traditional activities.
The feria's nightlife is hectic, and you'll be able to choose from a variety of exciting options: nightclubs, bars, restaurants and cantinas stay open until late at night, so you can while away the small hours in the good company of locals and visitors. After your revels have ended, you can be sure of a good night's rest in one of Aguascalientes' many hotels. There are rooms to fit all budgets, but we advise you to book well in advance as hotels tend to fill up quickly in the run-up to the feria.

Ok – So I know I am a little behind on getting these out there – but trying to get ready for the newest edition to Sabres Nation (my wife is due May 20th).
I already gave it to Tim Connolly and Derek Roy, so here are my reports and opinions on the rest of the men at center.
Jochen Hecht: 79 GP, 21G, 21A, 35PIM Grade: B
Not his best outing in a Sabres uniform, but what should have been expected from the German born Center in a contract year. I have always been a fan of Jochen Hecht's, but he does not fit on this team as a top six center. Plays his best hockey when centering the third line. Since coming to Buffalo from Edmonton for the 2002-2003 season, Jochen Hecht has played well for the Sabres, but not consistent enough. My feelings would not be hurt if they allowed Hecht to go elsewhere via free agency this year, but it wouldn't surprise me or bring my ire if they were to bring him back. Hecht is going to go anywhere and become a Sabres killer, but hes also not going to develop any more here. The best thing about keeping a player like Hecht around is you know exactly what you are getting yourself into.
Paul Gausted: 65GP, 12G, 10A, 82PIM Grade: B
Paul is another one of those players whom, I wouldn't mind seeing them upgrade, but if you keep him around you know exactly what you are getting. Gaustad's assets are parked right in front of the net, where he is going to tip in the occasional goal, but more importantly screws with the vision of the opposing goaltender. Matching a career high in goals this year, it would be nice if we could develop Gaustad into a 20 goal scorer, or trade him for someone who is.
Adam Mair: 69GP, 6G, 8A, 73PIM Grade: D
With a guy like Gerbe waiting in the wings, its a wonder why we keep a guy like Adam Mair on the roster. At one point this season we even passed him off on the waiver wire (and luckily for the Sabres he breezed through). He came back with the right attitude when re-inserted into the lineup, but is not the type of center the Sabres need anchoring the third or fourth (primarily fourth) line. Cody MCormick is probably a cheaper and more energetic option at this point for the Buffalo Sabres, and was probably more visible for them in the playoffs. I think its the perfect time to let Mair try on a different sweater next season.
Gerbe saw limited action this year, and McCormick couldn't break out of Portland until the post season. I think they did an excellent job of showing Buffalo's management how NHL ready they really are. McCormick has been in the NHL before with a short stint in Colorado – but he is the type of player the Sabres need to toughen this roster up. While not the perfect answer, adding him to the regular rotation would be a start at getting tougher for next season.

Well, this obviously sucks. Last year, at this time, I was hurt. I was hurt because I felt the effort was very poor, and was just full of hope. This year, it wasn't just hope. It was the realistic expectations of a Championship team. Now, I'm just down right angry.
I see some posts saying, "The Umpire Sucked", and "Mark DeRosa sucks", and I wonder just what the hell is going on? I really think of BCB as the most bright, and knowledgeable Cub fans that I know. Phrases like those, even if just venting, are completely absurd. There are many reasons this series was lost, and it had nothing to do with umpires, of Mark DeRosa sucking:
A) Preparation. This team was clearly not prepared to play the Dodgers. Plain and simple. The approaches at the plate were down right sickening. When a pitcher was challenging all game long, the Cubs hitters were taking. When a Dodger pitcher was nibbiling, Cub hitters were hacking. The approaches at the plate were just rotten. The at bats looked like they were facing rookies who had never been scouted or seen before.
B) Mental Execution: We've all heard people say that everything is under the microscope when you're in the playoffs. You damn right it is. You can be the best team over 162 games, when you have the talent to go on long win streaks, or make up for bonehead plays, but in a 5 game series, you better be anticipating the ball hit to you, and playing sound baseball, or you will be exploited. Game 1: Soto up after a leadoff double by Ramirez. Count is 2-0, and he takes two fastballs thigh high, down the middle of the plate. What the hell are you looking at? Those aren't pitches you move a guy over with, those are pitches when you're in that spot of the lineup, you hammer, and produce. And worse yet, he didn't even move him over, because he swung at strike 3 in the dirt. Game 3: Mark DeRosa, Soto on third, 1 out. First pitch ground out to third. Runner stays put. Did anyone note the location of that pitch? Up, and way in. How is that a pitch you expect to drive to the outfield, hit in the air anywhere but the infield, or hit to the right side? Complete lack of a plan. That's just two of many. It makes me wonder what Gerald Perry is doing. Maybe he is saying the right things, and guys just have cotton in their ears. Especially Soriano. I cannot believe that a guy who can't adjust his belt, much less his approach, is making that much money. I'm not even going to dive into defense. We all know what happened with that grease-fire.
C) Attitude: I've never seen grown, professional men, look so uneasy in my life. They were so wound up, and so tight, they couldn't probably tell you where the hell they were. I've said it time, and time again: when you're wound up that tight, there is no "bend not break". The slightest bend, and the whole damn thing shatters. Thats what happened here. I put a lot of blame on Lou for this. He's a Type A personality. He is a tense guy. There is no doubt in my mind, he does not have the capability to get guys to relax. I don't care that they won 97 games. Not one time the whole season, did they have their backs completely against the wall. The two times since he's been here, that they made it to the playoffs, they've looked tight, and lost.
Those are the reasons they lost. Lets not blame it on one guy, or the umpires. We'er better than that. Its terrible. I'm sick to my stomach. This team needs leaders of men. Not 25 guys who look to lean on their teammates when the going gets rough.

Nashua police investigating untimely death
"It was an untimely death," Sgt. Joseph Molinari said on Friday morning.
A hazardous materials disposal crew and bomb squad responded to the residence around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday over concerns about possible chemicals on the property. Residents were evacuated from the area as a precaution, according to police, who said nothing suspicious or criminal in nature was located.
According to Molinari, the man's death does not appear to be suspicious at this time.

As a Wild fan, I would really like to know what we have in Lundin. I've lurked around Raw Charge for a few months now (was really pulling for you guys in the playoffs), and I figured this blog would be the best resource to answer some questions I have about Lundin. So here goes:
- From what I've gathered from this blog and from other sources, Lundin seems to be a mobile defensive dman who can really eat some minutes. Is that a correct assessment?
- Does Lundin have any offensive talent? Some of his numbers are underwhelming, but could he be used in a powerplay/offensive situation?
- What are some weaknesses that Lundin possesses? Any glaring problems in his game?
Those are just a few questions, but if you feel like adding anything about Lundin outside of the questions, please do! I'll appreciate anything and everything you guys want to say about this dude. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Thanks for everyone's input on this! It's nice to know that the Wild got a hometown guy with this much promise. I hope the Lightning do really well this year. I'll be rooting for you guys!

Court to hear suits by private transport operators next week
THE Supreme Court will next Tuesday hear three applications for judicial review that were filed by bus and taxi owners and operators who are challenging policy decisions which they claim are illegal and causing them economic hardship.
The applicants will also seek injunctions to prevent the further enforcement of the policies by the police and the Transport Authority.
Two of the suits were filed by the Rural Transit Association Limited. The group is seeking judicial review of the decision to commandeer a section of the Mandela Highway, during morning peak hour traffic, for the exclusive use of State-owned Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) buses. The group is also challenging the authority of the JUTC to issue public transportation licences and its authority to charge members fees to operate within the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region (KMTR).
The JUTC, the commissioner of police, and the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) have been named as respondents in the Mandela Highway suit. The Transport Authority, JUTC and the OUR are respondents in the second suit filed by the group.
The other application for judicial review has been filed by V&B Transport Limited and names the Transport Authority, JUTC and the OUR as respondents. V&B is also challenging the authority of the JUTC on the issues of granting licences and the charging of fees to operate within the KMTR.
The claimants are contending that the actions are unlawful, and said that it is the responsibility of the OUR, not the Transport Authority or any other body, to lawfully regulate the public transport sector islandwide.
In the applications filed by the law firm Hugh Wildman and Company between Monday and Tuesday of last week, the claimants are asking for injunctions preventing the respondents from continuing to enforce the policies.
The claimants are also seeking damages for economic harm that they say resulted from the decisions.
