11-0: Still No Liberals in the Debt Ceiling Debate at the New York Times
Wednesday's New York Times lead story on the debt ceiling standoff by Jennifer Steinhauer and Carl Hulse, "Facing Obstacles, G.O.P. Delays Vote On Plan For Debt – Conservatives Restive – Boehner's Grip on His Caucus Is Put to the Test in Standoff," is the second consecutive Times lead overloaded with "conservative" labels, as if only one side of the debate has an ideological motivation.
Yesterday's tally in the lead story from Hulse and Jackie Calmes was 5-0, conservative-to-liberal labels. Today's tally was 6-0, including the label in the headline. As that headline also indicates, the Times put the focus and the fault for the impasse squarely on the shoulders of Republican House Speaker Boehner, not President Obama.
House Republican leaders were forced on Tuesday night to delay a vote scheduled on their plan to raise the nation's debt ceiling, as conservative lawmakers expressed skepticism and Congressional budget officials said the plan did not deliver the promised savings.
The pushback on the bill was the latest chaotic twist in the fiscal fracas on Capitol Hill, as the clock ticked closer to Aug. 2, when the Obama administration has warned that the nation risks defaulting on its bills. The scramble to come up with a plan that could be put to a vote, now moved from Wednesday to Thursday, represents a test of Speaker John A. Boehner's ability to lead his restive caucus. The expected showdown over the legislation is the culmination of months of efforts by Tea Party-allied freshmen and fellow conservatives to demand a fundamentally smaller government in exchange for raising the federal borrowing limit.
Mr. Boehner rolled out a two-stage plan on Monday that would allow the $14.3 trillion federal debt limit to rise immediately by about $1 trillion in exchange for $1.2 trillion in spending cuts. The plan tied a second increase early next year to the ability of a new bipartisan Congressional committee to produce more reductions.
The plan was met with skepticism -- and in many cases outright rejection -- by several conservative House members who said its savings did not go far enough. President Obama and most Congressional Democrats also have rejected the proposal, saying it is only a short-term solution and could lead to market uncertainty and instability.
Mr. Boehner's troubles piled up late Tuesday afternoon when the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said his plan would cut spending by $850 billion during the next decade -- about $150 billion less than the $1 trillion increase proposed for the debt ceiling.
Mr. Boehner was forced to quickly retreat from the bill. Republican leaders said they would probably rework it in a way that would reflect the decreased savings by raising the debt limit by less than $850 billion. Such a change would mean that the Obama administration would need to make another request for an increase in a matter of months, making the deal even less palatable to Democrats.
But others argued the opposite case. Four Republican senators with Tea Party links wrote a letter to their House colleagues on Tuesday urging them to vote against the measure. The Club for Growth, which scores members on their fiscally conservative votes, came out against the plan, as did other conservative groups including the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of Tea Party groups around the country.

Well, conservative lawmakers and conservatives are expressing skepticism over Boehner's plan. He is facing a split caucus and trying to rally more votes to his side, and he doesn't have the votes that he did last week. This is what is happening.

Boehner still does not get it!

He has spent too much time inside the Washington beltway and is totally disconnected with his constituency and the rest of America. It is incomprehensible to him that we want him to actually cut spending and LOWER the debt ceiling. GOVERNMENT has grown too big and needs to be pared back drastically. The unconstitutional spending needs to stop. The general welfare clause does not mean what they are trying to say it means. The government is supposed to set the playing field so that the private sector can expand and succeed. Not the government providing cradle to grave support for non contributors!

Below find a "thumb nail" sketch of the debt crisis for fiscal year 2010 (it ended October 1, 2010). It is worse this fiscal year, 2011:
US federal spending
Fiscal year 2010 (in billions of US dollars)
•Discretionary $660
•Other mandatory $416
•Net interest $197
•Medicare and Medicaid $793
•Social Security $701
•Defense Department $689
TOTAL: $3.456-trillion
Now compare that to…
US tax receipts
Fiscal year 2010 (in billions of US dollars)
•Social Security/Social insurance $865
•Corporate income $191
•Other $140
•Excise $67
•Individual income $899
TOTAL: $2.162-trillion
As you can see, there's a huge chasm between tax receipts and federal spending.
Note, neither Boehner, dingy harry, or duhbama are talking about reducing government spending for fiscal year 2012 (that fiscal year starts on October 1, 2011). The sad trugh is that none of the above get it.
While we worked hard last year to put into office fiscal conservative representatives, the leadership is the same old same old.
We need to win more elections to win these battles.

What: The Maryland Terrapins visit the reeling Virginia Tech Hokies, looking to finally build a bit of momentum
Where + When: 9:00 at Cassel Coliseum, Blacksburg, Va.
Where to Watch: ACC Network*, so check the affiliate list here. (Random affiliate of the week goes to Phoenix, Arizona. Congratulations, Phonecians among us.) You'll also be able to catch it on ESPN3 if you're not in luck.
Line: Vegas: Maryland -5 KenPom: Maryland by 6
Notes / Storylines
Momentum. Can Maryland finally get some? They haven't won two in a row since beating VT the first time around, back in early January. They'll need to be rolling the entire rest of the year to have a shot at the NCAA Tournament, so finally building up some positive mojo is a necessity. Not least because a loss to Virginia Tech - on the road or not - would sink the season in a big way.
Did Maryland turn an offensive corner? The Terps looked damned good against Wake Forest offensively - as good as they've looked all year, in fact. It's weak competition, sure, but that doesn't mean the performance wasn't encouraging, or that it can't herald a forthcoming improvement. It just needs they need to be tested more to know for sure. Virginia Tech's defense isn't much of a test, but more info is more info.
Settling in. To couple with the other points, a win here might settle down Maryland's rotations and lineups for good, save for the odd little tweak now and again. Mark Turgeon's said he's going to keep things the same as they were against Wake Forest, a lineup that wasn't necessarily very balanced but is certainly more experienced and was at least able to put the Deacs to the sword. I'm not sure that's necessarily a great idea, given the quality of opposition, but at this point I'll ignore those feelings in return for finally getting a bit of a rhythm.
On the road again. This is an immensely unfair stat for Maryland, given the opposition they've played on the road, but they've still won only a single true road game this year, and haven't yet notched an ACC road win. Of which, of course, Mark Turgeon's only won one himself. There are no gimme games in the ACC, but this is as close as you'll get. If they're going to get off the road schneid, it'll probably have to be here.
The Opponent (An Overview)
Remember when I said Virginia Tech looked like the fourth or fifth best team in the ACC? Well, at one point, they did. But yeah, the wheels have certainly fallen off since then, with the Hokies looking like perhaps the worst team in the ACC midway through the conference slate. They stand at 2-6, having beaten only Georgia Tech (in overtime) and Boston College (at home), with four straight losses really dampening the mood in Blacksburg.
And yet they're still not to be overlooked, not too much. Those four straight losses have come against Virginia at home (by an admittedly not impressive scoreline), Clemson on the road (a less-worrisome seven-point deficit), Miami at home (which they admirably kept in double-digits) and UNC on the road (a game they took to overtime). They can be blown out against teams that execute - see what the Cavs did to them in their 16-point win - but taking UNC to the wire and Miami within striking distance shows that they're not entirely to be trifled with. They can still put up points when they want to, and Erick Green remains one of the conference's most dangerous offense weapons.
They've drastically slowed their pace in conference play, no longer looking like a high-major version of VMI. Their offensive effectiveness has dropped along with that, although somewhat predictably given that they finally started to run into some of the ACC's heavy-hitters. They don't have the talent to run with most of the conference - more possessions would only serve to exaggerate the difference in quality. So they've taken to grinding games out, which isn't really their forte, but it does serve to minimize some of their weaknesses. And with Erick Green on their side, that's probably enough.
But teams who execute offensively can have their way with VT, given how poorly they play defense. They're the conference's worst defense team in efficiency, allowing upwards of 50% defensive eFG%, rebounding at a poor rate, allowing more assists per made shot than anyone in the conference - indicative of high-quality looks, usually - and forcing fewer turnovers than anyone in the conference, even fewer than Maryland. If Maryland's going to continue their offensive Renaissance, you'd expect them to have no problems with the Hokies' D.
Expected Starting Fives
|Virginia Tech
|Nick Faust (So., 6-6)
|Erick Green (Sr., 6-3)
|Dez Wells (So., 6-5)
|Robert Brown (So., 6-5)
|Jake Layman (Fr., 6-8)
|Jarrell Eddie (Jr., 6-7)
|James Padgett (Sr., 6-8)
|C.J. Barksdale (So., 6-8)
|Alex Len (So., 7-1)
|Cadarian Raines (Jr., 6-9)
For once, I'm not expecting any surprises on either side. And what's more, it's pretty much a straight matchup across the board: Faust will guard Green, Wells on Brown, Layman on Eddie, Padgett on Barksdale, and Len on Raines. I expect Maryland to go big consistently to try to stretch VT's minimal interior depth as much as possible, given that Barksdale won't be able to match either Len or Cleare and things really dry up past him. Faust or Dez should have a couple inches on Green offensively, though, so one of them will hopefully have a big day.
Matchup to Watch
Virginia Tech hinges on Erick Green, which means the game will hinge on Erick Green vs. Nick Faust. Turgeon's already said that Faust will match up with Green, which is probably a pretty good idea; while Wells could do a job against him, I'd still back Faust against most anyone when playing man-to-man defense. Maryland can win even if Green has a good game, but Virginia Tech can't win if he has a clunker. Stifle Green - easier said than done, admittedly - and nip their upset hopes in the bud.
Four Factors
Thing about the Four Factors in this instance: VT's so bad at them defensively that you'd expect Maryland to reap the benefits drastically enough to make up any apparent offensive deficits. They're already a better-shooting team and much better on the boards; I expect VT's propensity to foul and Maryland's own ability to avoid sending guys to the line will even out the free throws, too. They'll probably still win the turnover battle - because it's still Maryland basketball, after all - but I'd be surprised if they won any other vital stat.
Maryland's the better team overall, and they're playing better basketball as of late. They match up well, create mismatches of their own, and terrorized the Hokies at the Comcast Center last time around. There's very, very little pointing to this being anything other than an easy Terps win - perhaps even by double digits.
Except ... it's on the road. Scientifically, that's all of an eight-point swing. Usually, at least. But Mark Turgeon's only beaten one ACC team on the road, and this iteration of Maryland has beaten none. Okay, sure, the road games were against Miami, UNC, Duke, and FSU, but the bookended two perhaps should've been wins on their day, only to be foiled by silly mistakes that seem a lot higher when Maryland takes to the road. It's a young team, it happens. And one day it'll stop happening. But it concerns me.
Call this the day the page is turned, though. Erick Green struggles through the second half, Alex Len shows up, and Maryland ends up winning it 77-68.

Neat shot. The photo composition is right on. Everything works and is balanced. The position of the climber makes the climb appear perhaps harder then the grade.
Thanks Burt. Yes, the composition is nice... but MP's uploader really messes with the color curves. I guess that's what you get when you compress into jpeg though.
Nice shot, Andy.
And here I thought this was just a nice picture of a pretty girl, but no, it has to be helpful to us that aren't from Devil's Lake.

Bellator featherweight champion Joe Warren nervously shuffled his feet, wiping the sweat away from his brow as referee Jason Herzog held his wrist in anticipation of the outcome. As the scores were read, Warren's expression did not change. He was worried, concerned that he may possibly be the first champion to lose in a non-title affair under the promotion's banner. I'm not buying his post-fight remarks.
Moments later, Warren's exuberant, almost brash confidence beamed into our living rooms and into the crowd in Yuma, Arizona. Warren had defeated WEC veteran Marcos Galvao in the eyes of three judges sitting cage-side, but for most fans -- he had stolen a victory away from Galvao.
The criticism of the judge Chuck Wolf's 30-27 scorecard was the focal point of the discussion the following day. Many fans, including myself, felt the decision was a robbery, despicable proof that some people in this world were born stupid. How in the world could anyone watch the second round of that fight and deem Warren the winner?
At some point during the last two days, I became convinced that Warren's relentless charm, positive thinking, and ambitious attitude put him into the good graces of the big guy upstairs. There isn't a deity in the world who's going to punish MMA's version of Tony Robbins. Let's just all accept the fact that Warren is a hypnotist of incompetent judges and move on.
Despite the controversy, the main event battle with Marcos Galvao was another performance that proved Warren possesses the greatest intangible asset a fighter can have when he enters the cage. Toughness. Durability. Heart. Call it whatever you like. Joe Warren epitomizes what it means to be a "blue-chipper".
Galvao bombarded the champion's chin with flying knees, standing knees, punches, the kitchen sink, a Buick, a bag of hammers. You name it, it met Warren's chin in the second round of action on Saturday night. Warren stiffened up for a moment as Galvao's patella met his chin on multiple occasions during the round's action, but he drove forward furiously as if it was only a minor obstacle in his path to victory. Eventually, Warren succeeded in his plans to thrash Galvao from top control, taking him down in the third round.
In this three-round affair, Galvao had bested Warren on my scorecard, but one has to wonder if Galvao could repeat the performance in a five-round title showdown. In the broader scope of things, is it unfathomable to suggest that Joe Warren is the quintessential tough guy who has the drive and determination to brute force his way through adversity and miraculously come out on top in the end? He's already shown those characteristics time and time again, despite how you may feel about the decisions against Galvao, Freire, and Yamamoto.
Is he the type of fighter, even with the glaring weaknesses in his game, who can essentially outwork and tire everyone put in front of him? Clay Guida is the lightweight version of that type of fighter, and he's found success near the upper tier of the division. He's never been a champion though. Most fans would say that the Bellator featherweight strap doesn't truly matter due to the UFC's belt belonging to Jose Aldo. But five rounds against Joe Warren, a man made of iron who possesses an endless oxygen tank and world class wrestling? I'm interested to see it happen eventually.
Warren's lofty goals for the future include belts at both featherweight and bantamweight, along with a run at Olympic gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics. The confidence that Warren has conveyed when speaking of those goals has annoyed some fans, but I think we should embrace it. Warren may not be the most exciting fighter in the world. He does, however, have a strange way of sucking you in when he fights, mainly due to the brutality his chin takes and the amazement of his continued consciousness in the face of blunt objects jolting his noggin. He meets adversity head on, choosing the path of greatest resistance like it's some sort of sick fetish he needs to feed. As for his arrogance, perhaps Crash Davis was right. "You be cocky and arrogant, even when you're getting beat. That's the secret. You gotta play this game with fear and arrogance."
When my almost four-year old asked me why I needed to shut off the endless parade of Thomas the Train episodes at 9 o'clock, I simply stated that it was time for him to go to bed. As he barraged me with crying and whining, he badgered me with the question over and over. Finally, I said, "I'm turning it off because I'm going to watch Joe Warren, the real Thomas the Train". While Thomas the Train isn't the exact model of The Little Engine That Could, he is a similar anthropomorphic character who never gives up.
Not realizing the ramifications of this answer, my son began excitedly asking if he could watch Joe Warren. The term "facepalm" immediately came to mind, but perhaps Joe Warren can become the spokesperson for children overcoming adversity everywhere. After all, Warren won't ever quit, a lesson that can never be taught too much to the youth of the world.

Been reading posts the past few days on what happened sunday. Yes, there were a lot of mistakes and there is a lot of work to be done but in Pitt we played good most of the time. The turning point was 3rd and 16 on the jets 37 and Ben threw a TD pass that if Cro just gave a small nudge the WR would have been out of bounds. That was a bonehead play, OK you got burned but see the WR go up and get the ball and a small nudge would have done it, that hurt big time. Winning in Pitt would have been awesome and to do that we have had to play almost our best and until that bonehead play by Cro it was 13-10 and Pitt would have punted it back to us. The other momentum breaker when we still had a fighting chance was the fumble off of kerley's face mask.
Our defense played good if not for the miss tackles on Ben that kept drives alive and the misses on the RB's. Imagine we had some miss tackles on the RB's and they only had 66yds on 23 rushes. We also had 3 sacks but should have been at least 6. Game ball goes the Mac the only LB who came to play, he had 2 sacks, 6 tackles and Pohua had the other sack. We had pressure on Ben but as he seems to do got out of it many times.
Again we couldn't run the ball and Pitts defense once they realized that played the WR's close and we couldn't get separation. Then they started putting on the rush and our QB had less time, less time and no separation spells a long day for the offense. Not counting the wildcat Green and Powell rush 19 times for 62 yds., a 3.26 avg. I read on a post that green is a big part of the wildcat and we can't run it without him, what green is a north south runner and they try to run him east west and looked what happened. He has no cutting skills so why is he even in the wildcat.
Have concerns but my big one is still the Oline, because if we can't run and have to pass we need more separation or time, they have to step up and where is the screens to help offset the rush, screens to Powell and JMac. As some already know I'm not a fan of Green and because he can't cut or create that puts more pressure on the Oline to open decent holes him. Maybe its me but it seems every game at one time or another he seems hurt in some way.
Biggest disappointment is the coaches lack of balls or balls the size of BB's. They had time to go down the field and try to tie the score or get lucky with a TD but they run out the clock with about a minute left and this is not the first time. Seems after that Pitt was more inspired in the 2nd half after they felt we we afraid of them. Don't know if that's true but.
Now its seems the Phins are be respected as any NFL team and not a for sure like many have thought. I hope we do a Bills on them but we have to tackle and play offense. Bush went crazy on the Raiders and I thought the Raiders have a decent D.

syslog.c error Lucas Sat Oct 10 11:02:24 2009
Hi. I'm trying to make a lfs from a Ubuntu 9.04 host. I took the LFS book 6.5 and I'm doing exactly what is written there (using all the packages listed there in the versions listed). Now the problem. When compiling (making) the glibc-2.10.1, after sometime, it's appears a error message and the make quits. I won't be able to copy the whole msg here because i'm running it on a virtual machine, but I'll try to put the most important things. ../misc/syslog.c: In function '__vsyslog.c': ../misc/syslog.c:123: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to 'syslog': function body not available ../misc/syslog.c:155: sorry, unimplemented: called from here make[2]: *** [/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.10.1/misc/syslog.o] Error 1 make[2]: leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.10.1/misc' make[1]: *** [misc/subdir_lib] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.10.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 I already looked into the syslog.c and it appears to be ok, and searching through the internet I found someone saying why this happens, but didn`t said how to fix.

The Flyers picked defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere in the 3rd round with the 78th overall selection. Later that day the Flyers took defenseman Valeri Vasiliev with the 201st pick in the 7th round. I believe that both of these players could turn into very good NHLers in the future. Both players have very different skill sets that could get them on the Flyers a few years down the road. It's not uncommon for the later rounds of the draft to yield top defensive talent. Since 2002 there have been at least four defenseman selected in the third round or later in the All-Star Game, this includes the Flyers All-Star defenseman Kimmo Timonen who was drafted 250th Overall in 1993.
Shayne Gostisbehere was drafted out of Union College. This past season, in his true freshman year, he helped take Union to the Frozen Four. The player affectionately known as "Ghost" by the Union faithful was named to the ECAC all rookie team after scoring 5 goals and 17 assists in 41 games with the Dutchmen. His efforts got him invited to the United States World Juniors Evaluation Camp, along with first round draft picks Alex Galchenyuk, Jacob Trouba, and Flyers second round pick Anthony Stolarz. Ghost is on the smaller side; he's 5'11 and weighs only 160 lbs, making him one of the lightest players in the draft. He will have to get heavier to play defense in the NHL, but so do most recently drafted players. In recent years Flyers have had good luck when drafting in the third round. In 2010, the Flyers drafted Michael Chaput, and while he's no longer in the organization, he did lead the Memorial Cup in points while helping the Shawinigan Cataractes win the tournament. In 2011, the Flyers drafted Nick Cousins in the third round. Last year Cousins scored 88 points, which was 6th best in the OHL. There is a long list of players in the NHL right now with comparable size and point production after their first college season. San Jose Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle is 5'11, weighs 190 lbs, and went undrafted. He spent four years at Maimi University (the one in Ohio), scoring 26 points as a true freshman. He has been a two time All-Star and has averaged 50 points a season since the Lockout. Alex Goligoski of the Dallas Stars is 5'11, 180lbs, and only put up 20 points in his freshman year at the University of Minnesota. If the Flyers are lucky Ghost might one day be compared to another defenseman who was picked on the second day of the draft after their true freshman year: Duncan Keith. Keith was drafted out of Michigan State after scoring 15 points in 41 games. While it wouldn't be right to expect a third round draft pick like Gostisbehere to win the Norris Trophy, he could still turn into a player that puts up 35 to 45 points a year, which would be a great outcome from a 3rd round pick.
7th Round pick Valeri Vasiliev is a completely different player. He's bigger than Gostisbehere, standing at 6'1 and weighing just over 200lbs, but that doesn't necessarily make him a big defenseman. He is considerably smaller than defensemen like Braydon Coburn or Nicklas Grossmann, both of whom are 6'4 and over 220lbs. Though he lacks the size of the bigger defensemen he can match their physical presence. Vasiliev is a very physical defenseman; he's known for hitting hard and hitting often. An injury derailed his first season in the Russian minor league which caused him to slide down most teams draft boards. Vasiliev was ranked 16th amongst European skaters at the end of the season. Craig Button of TSN and the NHL Network compares him to San Jose Sharks' Doug Murray who averaged more than 2 hits and blocks per game. Murray is a great defensive defenseman but he is a little bigger than Vasiliev. I think Valeri is more comparable to two other NHL players. One is former Flyers draft pick and current Boston Bruin Dennis Seidenberg. Seidenberg is one of the best small defensive defenseman in the league. He is very physical and, like Vasiliev, was taken late in the draft. The other player I'd compare him to is the Montreal Canadiens Russian defenseman Alexei Emelin. Emelin's name might not be that well known but he was one of the leading hitters in the league last year as a rookie.
Right now Vasiliev doesn't have the best foot speed, but foot speed is one of the easier things for young players to improve. One concern that probably allowed Vasiliev to slip down the draft board was what people at the draft were calling "The Russian Factor". It's the fear that Russian players will either not come to the NHL or leave the league prematurely to play in the KHL. It allowed the 3rd ranked North American skater to fall to the 12th pick in the draft. This fear is especially prevalent with a player like Vasiliev because he decided to play in his minor hockey in Russia instead of the Canadian junior leagues. I don't think it will be a problem getting Vasiliev to play in the NHL. His style of play is better suited and more celebrated in the NHL than in Russia and the Flyers have been the best team in the NHL at getting players from the KHL.
Not a whole lot is expected from players selected in the later rounds, that's why it's a big deal if they develop into quality players in the NHL. If the Flyers make NHLers out of not one but two late round draft picks this could be a very successful draft.

The Crabbers of Torbay Mike Longhurst
An English obsession
By Mike Longhurst
This is a fun look at the obsession, for young and old, of crab fishing at the English seaside.
It captures people oblivious to anything but hoiking crabs out of the water as fast and as often as they can, only to throw them back after a few hours in a bucket.

Tale Of The Tape: New York Jets At Miami Dolphins
The Jets got the kind of performance from rookie quarterback Geno Smith in Week 16 vs. the Browns that they were hoping to get on a consistent basis.
Tale Of The Tape: Cleveland Browns At New York Jets
The Browns are happy with the job that backup quarterback Jason Campbell has done since he has been inserted into the starting lineup.
Tale Of The Tape: New York Jets At Carolina Panthers
After five straight awful performances, Geno Smith broke out of his slump and had a decent game against the Raiders in Week 14 as he completed 16-of-25 passes for 219 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Tale Of The Tape: Cleveland Browns At New England Patriots
The Browns continue to rack up quarterback injuries. Brandon Weeden suffered a concussion late in the Week 13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and he will have to go through the concussion protocol before he can play against the Patriots.
Tale Of The Tape: Oakland Raiders At New York Jets
It's not often that the Oakland Raiders go into a game with a clear quarterback advantage over their opponents, but that's the case here.
Tale Of The Tape: Miami Dolphins At New York Jets
This was supposed to be a season of growth for the Dolphins and quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Instead, both the team and the quarterback have been stagnant.

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating 5 counterfeit $100 bills, after someone tried to pay off a student payment with them at North Dakota State University.
Experts at a local coin shop say there's a reason to be concerned. While fake bills are rare, if the phony money made it this far there could be more out there.
Tons of bills pass through the hands of local cashiers every day. Kristina Lou works at Unglued in Downtown Fargo, and deals with a lot of cash. "You don't want to get stuck with something that's counterfeit because if you do it's the retailer's loss, she says, "Not the banks or anyone else's."
She is concerned after hearing about fake money being used locally. "I usually check for the watermark, and the texture," Lou says, "And I usually check just making sure it has all the parts that are usually on a bill."
If Lou thinks the bill is suspicious she will run a counterfeit detection pen over the bill. "The pen actually does not work all the time," says Jason Jenkins, an expert at Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals in Fargo.
Police say the fakes found at NDSU passed the pen test, "good counterfeiters will buy starch free paper," says Jenkins, "Then the pens are useless." It is part of Jenkins' job to know everything about money. "If you are someone that handles paper money a lot you just know by the feel of it," says Jenkins.
He suggests getting to know the way money looks and feels, but if you want a sure fire way to tell if it's a counterfeit you might want to invest in a UV light machine.
"There's a UV light machine that will actually show," says Jenkins, "If you line up all the bills under the machine each note represents a different color in the spectrum, it reacts with the UV light so the hundreds are pink, and one is orange one is blue."
A light machine will run you around $150, and if you are not ready to invest a magnet might come in handy. Money is magnetic, and will respond when you touch a magnet to any real bill.
Whether you work in retail, or just use cash, you might want to get to know your money. The last person with the fake bill takes the loss. "There are so many different fraudulent activities in both cash and credit card side of things you try and protect yourself as much as you can," says Lou.
The secret service is investigating the counterfeit bills found at NDSU. They say if you suspect a bill is fake do not accept it and call police.

Danny boy lost, as unfortunately expected. Let's face it gang, who DIDN'T see Joe Montana beating everybody who came his way? Montana beat Marino in the Super Bowl, and now history repeats itself as Montana beats Marino in the Madden Cover Vote by a tally of 70% to 30%. Do I think it's fair? Honestly, I have to say yes. Like I said in a previous post of mine, almost everyone in the world would admit that Joe Montana is the greatest QB ever to play in the NFL just based on how many Super Bowl rings he has.
Now the competition is between him and Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders (Leon Sandcastle lol), and on the New School side it's Russell Wilson against Arian Foster, and Adrian Peterson vs RG3. Just a prediction from now to the cover reveal, the two winners will be Joe Montana and RG3. Let's face it gang, you can't beat popularity. And unlike the Tim Tebow thing where you either love him or hate him, with RG3 it's either love him or just like him, at least that's what it feels like.
I suppose if there's any hope, the fact that Marino was on the cover vote at all, means that the Madden people plan on putting him and all those other candidates into the game itself, which means that we can all enjoy beating Joe Montana in a videogame over and over and over and over and...

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – With social networks continuing to grow some local school districts are creating policies to limit teacher and student relationships online and outside of the class room.
Frenship ISD is one of the latest to ban teachers from becoming friends with students on their personal social networks like Facebook or Myspace. "We frown upon it. Even though it's outside of school they still represent our school district, so we implemented that policy to remind them they are accountable and responsible for their actions on social media," FISD public relations director Andy Penney said.
There are exceptions to the new policies created a few months ago. If teachers wish to use sites like Twitter or Facebook for educational purposes they have to create a "professional" page outside of their personal one and it can only be used to supplement their teaching.
"In some educational stand points we're trying to use that as an instructional tool because now social media is kind of the norm," Penney said "It can be a great instructional tool for certain lessons that teachers might want to interact with their students".
Lubbock ISD and Lubbock Cooper ISD have also implemented new policies discouraging teacher and student relationships on social sites, put in place to protect both the students and school employees.
This hot topic has also caused quite the stir on KCBD Newschannel 11's own Facebook page. In less than an hour more than 50 viewers left comments debating where the line should be drawn between students and teachers.
One viewer left this comment, "It could lead to very poor decisions for students or even worse teachers being accused of sexual problems. There are boundaries that should not be crossed, this being one of them".
While others disagree like this viewer, "it's a new era and social networking is today's way of communication. It's a great way for teachers and students to talk about school and life in general outside the professional setting of a school".
One thing is for sure; as social media continues to grow more schools will be putting stricter limitations on how teachers and students can interact over the internet.

DBHDS Press Releases
For Immediate Release: June 30, 2011
[ link to pdf ]
Meghan McGuire, DBHDS
(804) 786-9048
Cynthia McClaskey, SWVMHI
(276) 783-1201
Richmond – At a ceremony today at the Governor's Mansion, Governor Bob McDonnell congratulated Cindy Jones, infection control coordinator at Southwestern Virginia Institute (SWVMHI) in Marion, for being the winner of the 2011 Governor's Award for Public Service for Workplace Safety and Health. Jones, of Washington County, was nominated by the Commissioner of the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) and by SWVMHI Director Cynthia McClaskey.
"On a daily basis, Cindy demonstrates extraordinary innovation in her efforts to educate staff and patients on the small things they can do that will make a big difference controlling and reducing infections at the facility, "said DBHDS Commissioner James Stewart. "I am very pleased to see her many accomplishments in making SWVMHI a safer place recognized in such a manner by the Governor."
Jones has developed many programs and plans that have proven to be extremely effective to control infection at SWVMHI. In February 2011, Jones' efforts during a gastroenteritis outbreak in the community significantly reduced patient and staff symptoms while schools and other facilities were closed because of much higher rates of illness. She has also implemented successful programs in areas of high risk in health care facilities such as increasing employee influenza vaccinations, decreasing the chances of MRSA infections among both patients and staff, promoting employee hand washing and minimizing the risk of exposure to contaminated needles. In fact, the Joint Commission recognized Jones' creativity and effectiveness in developing and implementing such programs by indicating its intent to share her efforts as model programs with other providers.
Jones is the second DBHDS/SWVMHI employee to win a Governor's Award. Herb Firestone, power plant operator at SWVMHI, won the award for Innovation in 2007 for his work to enhance the efficiency of the operation. The Governor's Awards statewide program publicly recognizes outstanding employees for their hard work and dedication to the Commonwealth. Agencies nominate employees from among the 102,000 state employees across Virginia and seven winners in separate categories are recognized by the Governor. More information about the awards can be found at www.dhrm.virginia.gov/publicsvc/GovAwards2011.html.
Available to citizens statewide, Virginia's public mental health, intellectual disability and substance abuse services system is comprised of 40 community services boards (CSBs) and 16 state facilities. DBHDS seeks to promote dignity, choice, recovery, and the highest possible level of participation in work, relationships, and all aspects of community life for individuals with a mental illness, intellectual disability or a substance-use disorder.

Phil Steele Names Nine Bruins to his Preseason All Pac-12 Squad
Now, bear in mind that the only one to make first team was Sean Westgate (I know, right?!), while Tony Dye slipped to second team and Cassius Marsh down to fourth team. Jet Ski was named third team, and for reasons completely unknown to anyone watches football, Steele named Embree as his third team punt returner. Either the Pac-12 has really crappy punt returners this upcoming year or Phil has been getting some of the really good Cheech and Chong stuff.

Pick n Pay subsidiary Boxer Superstores are finalists in three categories of the African Access Business Awards, South Africa's business Oscars. The nominations are for the Customer Focus Award, the Marketing Excellence Award and the Top Performing Businessman of The Year Award, for which Marketing Director Andrew Mills has received the nod. Nice work from a business which leads at the lower-end of the market where others are just beginning to follow.

As Walmart battles the local competition boys to get in, Pick n Pay battles the Aussie ones to get out. Reading between the lines, though, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Metcash (Aus) has received more than 200 expressions of interest for the 80 Franklins supermarkets it has agreed to acquire from the Big Blue, many of these coming from the independent supers PnP would end up selling the stores to should the deal not go through.
Reuters 13/06/11
Just months after the launch of its smart card, Pick n Pay has signed up 3.1 million 'smart shoppers' against a target of 3 million for the first year. The cerebral fragments of polyvinyl chloride were used in just over 50% of sales, said Mr Badminton at the Group's AGM just the other day, and might account for the slight uptick in sales for the first three months of the jolly old FY.
Business Report 15/06/11
A task team from Adcock Ingram has been working tirelessly for 18 months to clear more than 4,000 medicine registrations with the Medicines Control Council, which apparently needs some assistance in these things. More than 250 registrations from Adcock Ingram alone are still outstanding, in a bad way, including registrations for much-needed ARVs and first-to-market generics which could lighten the burden of ill-health for poorer South Africans.
This sustainable sourcing business leads one down some lesser trodden paths, that's for sure. As part of the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) initiative, Unilever Brazil has recently bought certificates that cover 5,000 tonnes of sustainable soy oil, for use in dressings and margarine products, which will go some way to stimulate farmers to move their agricultural practices towards the (RTRS) criteria. Global production in soy oil is around 40 million tonnes and the company buys around 1%, we bet you didn't know.

4,500 Rainbow Chicken workers at processing and farm plants in the Western Cape, North West, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape plants are out on strike, demanding better wages, reduced working hours and a backdated payment to April 2011, this final issue being the major sticking point, apparently.

As the interest rate migrates north in early spring, some of our retailers are shaking out the mothballs and preparing for a bleaker season of consumer spending. As it were. While the lilac-shirted credit retailers in the clothing sector generally benefit from an upswing in the rate, our manly cash boys do not, particularly those who cater for the hocked-to-the-gills upper-LSMs.

Did Any of the Cast Go Up in a Fighter Jet?: Jessica Biel confessed that none of the actors actually got a chance to fly. Josh would be the only one who actually could, I think, because he went through that special training, said Biel.
Flight Survival Training School it was called, which is a really complex thing in order to be able to qualify as a member of the Navy to be a passenger. You have to take that school. Its about a week of extraordinary difficult training. A lot of underwater work inside mock planes and helicopters that crashed so you know how to get out of them in case you lived, explained Lucas. Its a very, very challenging thing to do, to say the least. But for me, Im always fascinated by research, so Rob had me out on an aircraft carrier almost the day I got the movie. Living with pilots, hanging out with pilots, and being around it and just getting to know it in every single way. Thats kind of what made it have a bit more integrity than I think it would have otherwise.
Jamie Foxx on the Humor in Stealth: Asked if it was in the script or something he brought to the project, Foxx said with a smile, Man, what you think? Yeah, I mean, thats all .Youre looking for [as a] director, Im sure hes eyeing - when he starts to put a film together - who he wants to be in the film. Im sure he said, you know, Jamie Foxx may be able to squeeze a laugh out of so yeah, thats all in it.
Jamie Foxx on Coming Up with the Threesome Lines (itll make sense once youve seen the film): Thats research. As [Josh Lucas] researched, I researched. Research. Lets really get into it. No, its just, you know, you gotta realize the talent that youre sitting with and thats whats great when people have their own ideas and come with their own thing. I call it like coming with a bag of . Like heres your character and heres some things that may be able to enhance it, make it different and stuff. So thats what you do, everybody was bringing their bag to work every day.
On Machines Taking Over for Humans: Director Rob Cohen said he believes its a very dangerous thing. The fact is that the Navy has announced that by 2011 one-third of the combat vehicles will be pilotless. By 2011. So its six years. An admiral, high-ranking admiral, told me that by 2025, theres a faction in the Navy thats pushing for an entire AI air force. That its more cost-effective, it doesnt take seven years to train, and they think that it goes down more easily - a bunch of smashed-up plane parts dont have the same heart tug as body bags.
I think these points are made pretty clearly in the movie. If you put this kind of thing in operation, robot tanks, theyve even got robot soldiers, infantry - things that theyre working on, but certainly the U CAVS which are on line now in Iraq and Afghanistan that are flying missions - they like the public to think its joy stick, but it isnt. Some of it is, but it isnt. And the idea is ultimately you will make war easier, not harder, because the only thing that puts a check on war is our stomach for slaughter. Meaning our own boys and girls slaughtered. So you take that control off the process, and you get a warrior-type guy in the Presidential situation or someone, and it wont be long before other advanced countries - China in particular - have the same technology. And pretty soon, youve got the war of the robots but there are a lot of other people being killed. And I think its very dangerous to take human beings out of the forefront of war, explained Cohen.

Jacksonville University was an automatic qualifier in the NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Tournament and will take on No. 17 Denver in the opening round on Friday, May 9 in Gainesville, Fla. First draw is scheduled for 4 p.m. and the game will be live streamed on GatorZone.com.
The Dolphins will be in search of a better ending in the upcoming rematch of last year's first round contest. JU has become quite familiar with the opponent from the Mile-High City as they dropped a 14-7 loss to the Pioneers in the Dolphins first-ever NCAA postseason appearance.
The decision evened the all-time series to 1-1; in the teams' first meeting JU knocked off the visiting Denver squad 10-7.
"Sports create a lot of opportunities for good stories, but last year's team and Denver game are different than this year's," said Assistant Coach Paul McCord. "I think time spent focusing on redemption may be better used preparing to perform with confidence and skill. If we bring the game that we have had the last seven games, the score will take care of itself. This JU team is very different than last year's."
"Last year, Denver owned the draw and ground ball game. That's never good when you are playing a fairly even opponent. You lose every game if that's the case because in a game of equals, possession rules the day. We want to play the game like we have and run the system. The best way to win this game is to play our game and execute it with confidence, speed and smarts."
The winner of Friday's game will advance to play No. 4 Florida on Sunday, May 11 at 1 p.m.
The Dolphins (15-4, 5-0 A-Sun) won the Atlantic Sun tournament title for the second-straight season when they trumped Detroit 18-4 in the championship game.
En route to earning All-Tournament honors, Taylor McCord led JU with seven points on four goals and three assists.
Tournament MVP honors went to keeper Asia Moore who seems to be peaking at just the right time. In the two conference games, Moore allowed just two goals while posting nine saves.
"The program has never played lacrosse as well as we have over the past several weeks," continued McCord. "I don't know if its nerves as much as the team feeling more comfortable with who they are and the game they play. It's been great to see as a coach- less coaching and more directing means that the reigns of the team are clearly in the player's hands."
Friday's game will see two Remenapp's take the field at the Donald R. Dizney Stadium. However, they will be wearing two different uniforms. Sisters Abby (JU) and Jill (Denver) Remenapp played a season of lacrosse together at Century High School but have never played against each other.
In three seasons at Denver, older sister Jill has compiled an impressive resume. The attacker has started in all 19 games for the Pioneers this season and is second on the team in points (72) with 25 goals and a team-high 47 assists.
Abby is playing in her first season with the Dolphins and in 10 games she is definitely playing her best lacrosse now. She scored her first collegiate goal in the 24-3 win over Howard and added two ground balls and a caused turnover.
When asked how it feels to be playing against her sister, Abby had this to say:
Q: Are you really competitive with each other?
"We definitely do have the sibling rivalry going on! But this is the first time we have played against each other, so it should be interesting."
Q: Have you guys talked about this game?
"Jill called me right after the selection show was aired. We both were really excited, not only to play each other but also to see each other. There hasn't been much trash talking going on!"
Q: How does your family feel about you two playing each other?
"My family is really excited. They've been down in Jacksonville to watch my games, Denver to watch Jill's games and made it to Allison, my other sister's, games. I think they are relieved to have a game that is being played at the same time and place, so everyone will be in around!"
Denver (18-1, 9-0 MPSF) is currently on a school best 16-game winning streak. The Pioneers claimed the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament Championship for the first time in school history following a 14-11 win over No. 18 Stanford.
Meredith Harris, who is currently ranked 12th in the nation in scoring, guides the Pioneers offense with 56 goals and 18 assists. Sonorah Vinyard is the team's defensive leader with 57 draws, 31 ground balls and 28 caused turnovers.
"They're a good team," concluded McCord. "We have them well scouted and we highly respect them but in order for JU to win it comes down to us playing our game. Lately our game has been one of the best. It's been fun. That's the key to JU prevailing on Friday afternoon."

pretty good but could/should have been much better. chuck's vocals aren't as harsh as i've grown accustomed to, not enough snap in them drums, and the overall production sounds kind of muddy. alex's solo is pretty sweet, but still forced in a few places. hoping it is just the old interweb playing tricks on me.
This track is awsome.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine say they've found a way to match more kidney donors with recipients.
If a person is willing to give a healthy kidney to a family member in need, but their blood types pose a problem, the hospital is taking that pair and matching them with another family duo that is also willing, but incompatible. By "swapping" willing donors, surgeons there are saving lives and cutting down on the number of people waiting for kidney transplants. This has been done 22 times already at Johns Hopkins.
By the way, the surgeries are done simultaneously, so one pair doesn't back out before the transplant is complete.

A-Rod takes rehab from Reading to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Alex Rodriguez is going to join the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on Friday, likely the final stop in his rehabilitation from left hip surgery before he returns to the New York Yankees as early as Monday.
Rodriguez is 5 for 28 with six strikeouts in his rehab that began July 2 with Class-A Charleston and continued this week with the Double-A Trenton Thunder in Reading.
He hit his first home run on Monday against the Fightin Phils at FirstEnergy Stadium.
A-Rod's 20-day rehab limit ends Sunday, and he told a New York radio station Wednesday he expects to be in the Yankees lineup Monday at Texas.
The Yankees' general manager told ESPN New York that Rodriguez could be activated Monday or Tuesday, after a day off.
If the team decides the third baseman is not ready for major league games he has to go back on the disabled list.
Rodriguez hasn't played for the Yankees since a dreadful postseason. He had hip surgery in January.
