how to become board staff - moderators?
just curious, who do we contact, apply to if we want to help out, like say board moderation, surely you have a board team
mod >smod > ba
Like CBS in the case of startrek.com, I would presume Paramount also has rules which prohibit outside help being used.
Legal issues and such.
you may want to take at look at this: http://www.startrekmovie.com/forums/...4&postcount=53
Anyone who asks to be a mod should be automatically banned from ever becoming one.
Like Douglas Adams said the people who want power are the last ones who should get it.
What did Worf say to Martok? True leaders don't seek power... people insist he gets the power! Something like that...
I think there are liability issues with taking on outside help...
a signed dpa is all you need to protect internal information :)
Are any of those owned by a major corporation like Paramount Pictures or CBS?
nope, but they are popular sites, ogame.org , gladiatus.com darkpirates.com and ikariam.org (just afew of the browser games listed are froma fast rising company in germany called Gameforge GMBH
Besides, being a moderator on an internet forum is hardly REAL power anyways...

I mostly do philosophical pro-voluntaryist, anti-state posts and this may come across as a bit curmudgeonly so I thought a post on what makes you happy.
For me it's a myriad of things from a nice glass of wine or brandy or a good meal, an open fire in the cold winter, a pool on a hot summer's day, the love of a beautiful woman, a good day's cricket, an interesting book or idea, new places, enough cash, achieving goals, of course doing a million different things with my son, and also exercise. For me this is currently cross country biking or the gym.
With regard to the latter, I don't know if it's a testosterone thing, but I don't like many of the blokes who go to my gym. This is probably a bit of the alpha male thing, a bit of a generational clash and certainly the fact that some of the younger ones are a bunch of tattooed, plucked-eyebrow, sun-bed addicted, muscle-vest steroid boys.
With regard to my latter contention, I know the signs since I used to go to a full-on steroid gym in Cardiff in the late 1980's and early 1990's and they were openly sold. It's that pumped-up look rather like having balloons under your skin and also on some of 'em your sweat smells quite acrid. That and you make substantial gains fast and you can do more or less anything in the gym and get big.
Now I've been hammering away at the weights for over twenty years now and whilst I won't set any records, I have some fair totals in the power lifts*. These are typically ignored by steroid boys who prefer a million bench presses and endless curls for T-shirt muscles.
Anyway I was doing some dead lifts today and over comes eyebrow boy and his mate, tattoos akimbo. "Will you be much longer with that mate?" and I couldn't resist. "Yes, but you are welcome to alternate with me on the bar if you like"
Well they could hardly wait to show-off and put an old bloke (I'm in my forties, they were early twenties I would say) like me to shame. So chuckling but with no warm-up, eyebrow one approaches the bar and pulls on it. It never moved. So now stern he addresses it and heaves for all he is worth. Veins appear, grimacing noises are made, all to no avail. It's not going anywhere. So eyebrow two has a go with similar results. I really had to try hard to suppress the smile.
So if I may kitty counters, what's made you happy recently?
(* namely Squat, bench press and dead lifts).

Since we are now in a relatively
quiet dead football period, and not wanting to detract from any of the meaningful stories on this site, I thought it might be a good time to revisit and analyze our Tomahawk Nation members projections for the 2009 football team, just for fun.
Last summer I wrote a series of stories wondering if our 2009 football teams 7 individual units (defensive line, linebackers, secondary, backfield, offensive line, receivers and tight ends, and special teams) were going to be better, the same, or worse, as compared to the same unit from 2008, and I polled our members on their expectations for the 2009 season.
Since our membership here at TN has exploded over the past year, many of you will be seeing this for the first time. I ask that our newer members who did not have the opportunity to participate and vote last summer be patient, but to please feel free to comment, or ridicule those of us (myself included) who had some unrealistic projections. However, I would like to warn that I plan on doing a similar series later this summer, again using the 7 units, and your projections for 2010 may come back to haunt you sometime next spring, so you may want to consider treading lightly.
My hope in revisiting this series is not to turn this into a coaches hate-fest, although that topic can not be off-limits due to the nature of the series. I do think most of us are ready to move forward and stop rehashing our previous coaching regime's shortcomings, but I would like to focus on the individual units themselves and decided how far off, or in some situations, how well these units performed compared to the same unit from 2008.
I intend to keep my comparisons very basic, but I do welcome those of you with more statistical experience, with greater understanding of the advanced metrics often used on this site, and with more time, to please share your opinions with those of us not as knowledgeable in those area's.
Today we will look back and share a good laugh at what a bunch of optimistic, Kool-Aid guzzling, Garnet and Gold glasses wearing group of Seminoles we had gathered here at TN last summer, by looking back at Progression, Stagnation, or Regression? Noles Defensive Line.
You may first want to look back at Closing The Book On The 2009 Florida State Defense where Bud breaks down the performance of the entire defensive unit as a whole. However for these posts, we will review each unit individually, and not nearly in as much detail as you have grown accustomed to expect from TN. As I previously stated, this post is just for fun and to give us something to discuss during this slow news period, that is if you are interested in doing so.
2008 DE=Benjamin Lampkin (really a LB) started the first 3 games, then was replaced by Neffy Moffett who started the rest of the season. In 10 games played, Moffett had 19 Total Tackles of which 11 were for loss, 5.5 sacks, 1 int, 2 QBH, and forced two fumbles and recovered one. Both players are now gone.
2009 PROJECTED DE=Kevin McNeil and Jamar Jackson
2008 NG=Moses McCray started the first 2 games then was replaced by Budd Thacker who started every remaining game until the Champs Bowl when Paul Griffin started his last game as a Nole. Griffin is the only one gone and only had 11 Total Tackles, 1 for loss, 1 QBH, and 1 FR.
2009 PROJECTED NG=Moses McCray and Budd Thacker
2008 DT=Kendrick Stewart started 8 games and Justin Mincey started 4 games, 3 of which were the last 3 games.
2009 PROJECTED DT=Justin Mincey and Kendrick Stewart
2008 DE=Everette Brownhas left and taken his 36 total tackles of which 21.5 were for losses, 13.5 sacks, 2 pass BU, 3 QBH, 4 FF, and 1 FR.
2009 PROJECTED DE=Markus White and Toshmon Stevens.
OTHERS EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE: Everett Dawkins (SDE), Brandon Jenkins(WDE), Jacobbi McDaniel (DT), Demonte McAllister (DT/SDE)
What really wound up happening at;
2009 LDE: Craig Yarborough started the first 3 games and the bowl game versus WVU, and Kevin McNeil started the 9 games in between.
2009 RDE: One of the few positions with any stability as Markus White started every game except the Georgia Tech game where our coaches tried stopping the GT option with 2 DT's (McCray and Thacker) and Dawkins at NT.
2009 Interior Line: I decided to group our NT's and DT's together because of the constant shuffling of players due to injuries at times, and at other times due to what seemed like no clear rhyme or reason.
Excluding the GT game referenced above, the DT tackle position saw McCray starting 6 games, Dawkins starting 6 games, and Thacker starting one game against BC.
The NT position saw Kendrick Stewart start the first 5 games, followed by Dawkins starting the next 2, then McCray, then Dawkins, and finally McCray started the final 4 games.

Craig Yarborough 13 3 1 4 . . . . 1 . . . .
Here is how you, the Tomahawk Nation members, voted?
I have to give myself a D for thinking White could adequately replace Everette Brown, for not realizing how very thin we were across the line and how unforeseen injuries could and did devastate our defensive line, and for thinking that Jacobbi would be able to play a bigger role as a freshman, even though Jacobbi's playing improved as the season progressed and gives me hope for the interior of the line.

Trailers from the 2010 Gotham Award Winners
The Gotham Independent Film Awards took place last night here in New York, and despite being fairly plugged into the indie film world, I couldn't help but notice when presented with the opportunity to vote for the audience awards online that I had seen less than half of the nominees. So now that the awards have been decided, I thought I'd call whatever attention I could to the winners, since indie films are too damn hard to see. Perhaps if one of these trailers piques your interest you'll add it to your Netflix queue or even buy it via Amazon. Without further ado:

Winter's Bone
Best Documentary
The Oath, directed by Laura Poitras
Breakthrough Director
Kevin Asch, Holy Rollers

About Map - Situated in the northwestern part of the United States, Idaho is the 14th largest and seventh least- populated state of the country. It has as its neighbors the states of Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Idaho was home to many Native American tribes and was one of the last areas to be explored by Europeans.
Geographically, Idaho can be divided into three regions: Rocky Mountains, the Columbia Plateau, and the Basin and Range Region. Idaho's topography also boasts of several lakes, waterfalls, and canyons. The important rivers of the state include the Snake River, Coeur d'Alene River, and the Boise River.
Idaho experiences a great variation in climate. The maritime influence leads to milder winters in the western region while the eastern region has wet summers and dry winters. The northern part of the state has greater precipitation than the southern part.

|PERF on the border
According to a recent report from KGNS News, many local law enforcement leaders have finally reached their breaking point. Doing more with less is one thing. Doing everything with nothing is not an attractive proposition.
Reacting to the likelihood that tougher immigration laws like Arizona's controversial SB-1070 could be enacted across the nation, many law enforcement officials say it's a potential recipe for disaster.
"It would be a travesty. It would be very difficult given our proximity to Mexico," Laredo Texas Police Chief Carlos Maldonado told KGNS. "It's a very complex issue."
A recent national summit among federal officials indicates the current administration is looking to engage local law enforcement in an effort to enforce immigration laws across the country.
This accomplished two tasks from a federal perspective. First, it creates the impression that immigration is local law enforcement's responsibility, shifting any blame for failure to "secure the border" from federal agencies charged with immigration enforcement to local police.
But the best part for the feds is the free labor. By capitalizing on the enthusiasm for more immigration enforcement powers among police, the Federal government can rely on police officers and sheriff's deputies to do the legwork as far as finding, arresting, and jailing those suspected of being in the country illegally. All ICE has to do is wait for the phone to ring and then go grab the illegal immigrant up for deportation.
The Police Executive research Forum recently held a discussion group concerning the issue.
A large part of the discussion focused on the fact that many Americans believe that crime on the U.S. side of the U.S./Mexico border is out of control.
"Here in Laredo there's a perception that crime is out of control, being at the border," said Chuck Wexler, Executive Director of the Police Executive Research Forum.
"So the first thing that we found out is no, that's not the case."
Chief Maldonado invited the Police Executive Research Forum in Washington to gather information on major issues impacting border communities, in particular how law enforcement is dealing with issues of immigration.
In Arizona, SB-1070 has been a source of tremendous friction within the ranks. You're either against it, running the risk of being painted as "soft on crime," or you're for it - running the risk of charges of racism and xenophobia.
But at the PERF discussion the political took a back seat to the practical. "It's not that local law enforcement thinks it's good or bad," Wexler said in reference to local law enforcement. "They realize that to be effective with the community, that's not something that they should be doing," Wexler said.
"Our concern is answering calls for service, keeping the citizens of San Antonio safe and keeping a good relationship with the community," added San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus.
Chief Maldonado said officers already have a big enough workload to ensure Laredoans are safe with fewer officers and smaller budgets.
"Right now we're trying to maximize the number of officers we have to respond to calls for service," Maldonado said.
Another aspect of the immigration enforcement mandate that does not get discussed as much as others is the impact such measures have on the traditional law enforcement mission.
For instance, in San Francisco, it's possible that someone could be deported for calling to police to report domestic violence or another crime should ICE determine that person is in the country illegally.
That creates a climate of fear where crime goes unreported because people are afraid calling the police could lead to arrest and deportation.

I started a website, Bullpen Banter, with a few buddies from Minorleagueball.com, an SBN affiliate. We had a round table chat about the Giants and thought we should share it with you and get your feed back. We think there is some good content here. Enjoy.
JD Sussman: In 2009, the Giants had, by far, the worst offense in Major League Baseball. For the entire season, they had just three hitters who were above average. Of course, you know Pablo Sandoval and Juan Uribe, but the other name is not as familiar, Andres Torres. Despite being on a variety of big and minor league rosters since 2002, Torres has accumulated just 455 plate appearances at the major league level. Most likely, the 32 year old outfielder will not repeat his career best 2009. Frankly, this line up is pretty ugly, the organization's sole offensive bright spot outside of the Panda is Buster Posey. Who for some reason, is blocked by Bengie Molina.
GM Brian Sabean tried to upgrade, but failed. Luckily, they have great pitching, so if they succeed, it will be because they stayed healthy and got a big boost from their top pitching prospect, Madison Bumgarner. I'm the minority, but I've got them coming in second.
Al Skorupa: I really disagree with the way this team is run. The offense is still pathetic. What in the world made Brian Sabean think the corpse of Aubrey Huff could fix the lineup? Probably was the same reason he moved for Ryan Garko last year. Sabean has made a regular habit of overpaying for mediocre players, both in free agency and through trade. Sign 35 year old Mark DeRosa? Not a bad idea. Play him in LF where he's a unexceptional defender and a pretty fringy bat? Wha.... why? This team's roster is littered up and down with bad contracts. Zito. Renteria. Rowand. I really lay it all at the foot of Brian Sabean.
Joe Sheehan had a great line about the Steinbrenner sons... he said "[t]hey don't know what they're doing and they're very aggressive about it. Well, Hank and Hal just won a title - though they had to hand out over half a billion dollars in contracts last offseason to do it. This quote still fits Brian Sabean to a tee. He's done a pretty good job of developing young pitching... and that's about it. What's troublesome isn't that so, so many of his moves have failed as much as so many of them were clearly the result of a flawed thought process and never really had a chance to succeed.
Michael Herrick: The Giants have a few nice pieces here and there, but they're getting close to a point where all the bad moves Sabean has made over the years are going to really hurt them. A good example of this would be the trades last year that netted the Giants Freddy Sanchez and Ryan Garko. Sanchez is an average hitter who plays above average defense at 2B. They had Juan Uribe who was hitting well and about as good defensively as Sanchez, and while I wouldn't want to rely on Uribe long term, I feel the same way about Sanchez. They gave up Tim Alderson for Freddy, and while Alderson may not be more than a potential #3 starter he was likely to be more valuable to the team than Sanchez. Same thing for Scott Barnes who was traded for Garko. Neither player they received was the missing piece the Giants needed to contend, so they essentially gave away two starting pitchers for nothing.
Pablo Sandoval is the best thing going for this team offensively, though I'm not sure if he's more valuable being a below average 3B or moving to 1B where he might not be more than average. Buster Posey should join him in the heart of the Giants order for years to come, but when Posey gets that chance is a guess at this point. I like Nate Schierholtz a little bit, but he's the only other hitter I can really say anything nice about. There is such an amalgamation of overpaid vets dotting the rest of the roster...I don't get it. Does Sabean think he's wasting the years they have Cain and Lincecum around if he lets some of the younger guys get a real shot at playing time? If they don't start to build something that resembles a future contender, what incentive will there be for Cain and Lincecum to stick around once they have the option to leave?
In the second half last year Jonathan Sanchez seemed to finally make the leap from thrower to pitcher, giving the Giants hope that "Lincecum and Cain, then pray for rain" won't have to be the battle cry any longer. Only four more guaranteed years of Barry Zito! Obviously he's unlikely to ever pitch well enough to earn his money, but he was better last year and is a good #4 starter. I think the Giants are making a mistake if Bumgarner is going to be the 5th starter this year. I'm one of his biggest supporters but I think that he could use some more time in AAA to finish refining his secondary stuff. Seeing as how this team isn't going anywhere anyway, giving the job to Todd Wellemeyer certianly wouldn't hurt too much. The back end of the pen is solid with Brian Wilson, Jeremy Affeldt, Dan Runzler, and Sergio Romo. Waldis Joaquin is a guy to watch, he could be a closer candidate in a few years.
We've also got a review of the team's top moves, worst moves, and two prospects to watch. Stop by and let us know what you think.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today announced a pair of upcoming bouts for its UFC on FX network debut, currently scheduled for January 2012, though an exact date and location have yet to be revealed.
From UFC.com:
A welterweight bout with fight of the year potential will unfold as Josh 'The Dentist' Neer and Duane 'Bang' Ludwig have verbally agreed to meet in the new year. In addition, a heavyweight showdown has been verbally agreed to for with Christian Morecraft taking on Pat 'HD' Barry."
City, date and international viewing information will be made available shortly.
Today's announcement comes less than one week removed from the UFC on FOX: "Velasquez vs. Dos Santos" network television event, held on Nov. 12 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
FX will also carry season 15 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), among other things.
Barry (6-4) is coming off back-to-back losses to Cheick Kongo and Stefan Struve. The stocky and cocky kickboxer may not be on the chopping block just yet, but a third consecutive loss certainly won't do him any favors, either.
Matt Mitrione entered the "World of Morecraft" and left with a knockout win back at UFC on Versus 4, dropping Morecraft (7-2) to just 1-2 inside the Octagon. A loss in "HD" and it's likely curtains on his Zuffa career.
Also fighting for a spot on the roster -- albeit a much higher one -- is Josh Neer (32-10-1). The welterweight "Dentist" has strung together five straight wins, all of them stoppages, including a technical knockout finish over Keith Wisniewski just last month.
He'll get his favorite type of opponent after the new year, someone who likes to stand and "Bang," as Duane Ludwig (21-11) is riding high after outperforming Nick Osipczak and Amir Sadollah in recent bouts.
Four tough competitors, two great fights.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more details on the UFC on FX debut, which is part of the promotion's seven year, $100 million broadcast agreement with the FOX network, as they become available.

MU Audit Fears Escalate as HMA Returns $31M
Meaningful Use audit-related givebacks and penalties can pack a much harder punch than other Medicare audits, says the CEO of CHIME, because failure in one area of MU attestation is perceived by auditors as "failure in aggregate."
Concerns that Meaningful Use auditors have unclear expectations of their targets were heightened by reports this week that the 70-hospital Health Management Associates (HMA) is giving back approximately $31 million of Medicare and Medicaid payments to the federal government.
Last month, based on the results of an internal review, HMA determined that it had made an error in applying the requirements for certifying its EHR technology under these programs and, as a result, that 11 of the hospitals it had enrolled in the HIT programs did not meet the Meaningful Use criteria necessary to qualify for payments.

Russ Branzell, CEO of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), expressed concern that Meaningful Use audit-related givebacks and penalties can pack a much harder punch than other Medicare audits.
"If you mess up one bill for Medicare, and you're in a RAC audit, and they ask you to correct that one bill, they don't tell you to give back all your Medicare money," Branzell says.

This is just the tip of a very large iceberg. As I said at the start of the HiTech/MU program, if you take money from Uncle Sam, well before Uncle spells out all his rules, you are treading on very, very thin ice. CFO's have had to deal with 'free' government money and undefined payback terms for decades. It all started with Hill Burton in 1946 and then in 1972 Congress said providers had to pay back that money via 'free care'. Providers are still paying for that one. CFOs have had real 'fun' with HB trying to get a definition of what exactly constituted 'free care'. Now CIOs will have their chance to become indispensible, like a CFO, or become unemployed!

Hello experts,
I'd created a theme with Carbide.ui Theme Edition 3.2.
I saved the Theme with Series 40 2nd Edition and changed the resolution of the pictures to 208x208. When I try to open the theme on the mobile phone (6230i) it always displays an error messages :-(
Here's a small example that doesn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE theme PUBLIC "-//NOKIA//DTD THEME 2.0//EN" "theme.dtd">
<theme name="OpenTTD" version="2.0">
<colors display="main" idle_softkey_area_font_color="0x00ff00" idle_status_area_font_color="0x00ff00"/>
<wallpaper main_display_graphics="OPENTTD2_1.gif"/>
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
In remembrance of Bochum(Germany)

However, running injury prevention is easy, simply following safety measures. First, it is important to know the different types of running injuries and their causes. then be taken to be of use for injury prevention. Running on injuries usually in the feet and knees most.

People who are over the age of 35 years or those who have suffered from a preexisting condition, such as hip bursitis is a greater likelihood of injury and therefore should be more carefully by a doctor's permission.

A good offensive 1st half, and a 2nd consecutive strong defensive effort is enough for the Chargers to beat the Oakland Raiders for their 13th consecutive win in the series.
Stats never lie, except when they lie. Looking at the Oakland Raiders' 4 scoring drives, not one went beyond 50 yards. The Chargers had 4 scoring drives of more than 50 yards. Oakland totaled 180 yards of offense, neither rushing nor passing for more than 100 yards. The Chargers ran for 100 yards, and passed for almost 250 yards. This begs the question...
How on Earth did the Raiders have a chance to tie this game in the 4th quarter? Answer: Unforced Errors.
In every game the Chargers have played this year (excepting Pittsburgh), the Chargers have been the biggest source of their problems. A good argument could be made that unforced errors have cost them 2 wins (vs. Baltimore, vs. Denver). Luckily, the Chargers played an opponent yesterday that was incapable of making the Chargers pay for their mistakes. Grades for each position are posted below.
Quarterbacks: B
Philip Rivers enjoyed his second straight game facing little-to-no pass pressure. He opened the first half on fire, making great use of mismatches as Norv Turner moved the receivers around to get favorable matchups. The tipped interception late in the first quarter likely snuffed a scoring drive, and was responsible for keeping the Raiders in the game through the first half. In the 3rd quarter, the entire offense was out of rhythm, and Rivers missed several throws, notably a slant to TE Antonio Gates that is usually a completion. In the 4th quarter, Rivers completed several clutch throws, one to WR Chris Chambers for a huge 1st down, and later threading the needle to Gates on a bootleg. A couple of chances for big plays were missed.
Running Backs: B
LaDainian Tomlinson continues to get better with each game. Despite scoring 2 TDs, we are still waiting on the "breakout" performance. Tomlinson also continues to improve in pass protection. Darren Sproles also contributed some nice runs, twice coming close to breaking free for touchdowns. Neither player was used much on screen passes, and both players served as decoys against the Raiders defense on passing downs. It should be noted that both players had more running room when operating out of spread formations than in power situations, and Tomlinson coasted for a TD on the Chargers 1st use of the Wildcat. Both FBs Jacob Hester and Mike Tolbert contributed drive-sustaining 1st downs on 3rd-and-1 dive plays. Tomlinson also recovered his potentially devastating fumble early in the 3rd quarter.
Wide Receivers: B
Vincent Jackson had another good outing, with 8 catches for 103 yards and a TD, but he made a serious mistake allowing a pass to deflect off his hands for an Oakland turnover. Also, somewhat similarly to the game against Kansas City, Jackson largely disappeared after a terrific 1st half. Gates made some huge plays, notably turning a 5 yard crossing route into a 30-yard gain, and a great catch off the Rivers bootleg mentioned above. Malcom Floyd contributed another marvelous jump-ball catch to set up the Chargers' first score, and Chris Chambers came up with a great catch, off a fade-stop with the sun in his eyes in the 4th quarter to keep Oakland's offense off the field.
Offensive Line: B-
For the second straight week, the pass blocking was sensational. The Chargers neutralized Richard Seymour, who wreaked havoc in the Chargers Week 1 escape. On the whole, nothing the Raiders did produced consistent pressure on Rivers. However, in the running game, the Chargers struggled again when running out of power sets, the exceptions a pair of FB dives on 3rd-and-1, and a 4th quarter 3rd-and 1 which Tomlinson took 13 yards to set up a 1st-and-Goal. The Chargers' most successful runs came from gimmick sets (such as the Wildcat) and out of spread formations. Penalties also hurt the Chargers; notably a false start against blocking TE Brandon Manumaleuna hurt the Chargers' chances to put the Raiders away in the 4th quarter. As usual, RT Jeromey Clary struggled with speed rushers - backup DE Matt Shaughnessy (subbing for Greg Ellis) abused Clary throughout the 2nd half.
Defensive Line: B
In the Week 1 matchup against Oakland, the Chargers lost Jamal Williams and got pushed around for a good part of the game. Yesterday, after Oakland fell behind, the D-Line contained Oakland's trap and slant based running game. Keeping Oakland in 2nd and 3rd-and-long situations benefited the Chargers line, allowing them to occupy linemen and create blitzing lanes for the linebackers. The DT rotation has improved with the addition of Ian Scott - the rotation of Scott, Vaughn Martin, and Ogemdi Nwagbuo has allowed the Chargers line to remain stout, if not disruptive at the point of attack. Holding the Raiders to 99 yards rushing, with a 3.7 per carry average, is good under any circumstances.
Author's Note: Vaughn Martin was inactive for this game, Travis Johnson was in the rotation at DT. Caught by the readers. Thanks for the info.
Linebackers: A-
OLBs Shaun Phillips and Shawne Merriman both got loose in the second half yesterday, each recording 2 sacks. Phillips made the play that all but clinched the game - crushing JaMarcus Russell late in the 4th quarter and putting the Raiders' offense in a huge hole. Merriman is getting closer to full strength, getting a sack after fighting through a block, and later blowing up Raiders' LT Mario Henderson on a bull rush. Inside, ILB Stephen Cooper contributed 10 tackles. ILB Brandon Siler, substituting in for Tim Dobbins (Dobbins was replacing an injured Kevin Burnett) contributed 6 tackles. The only issue for the ILBs was the failure to contain Oakland TE Zach Miller and RB Justin Fargas on short and intermediate routes.
Secondary: B
As was the case in Week 1, CBs Quentin Jammer and Antonio Cromartie were not challenged by Oakland's receiving corps. WRs Louis Murphy, Darrius Heyward-Bey, and Johnnie Lee Higgins combined for 2 catches, 16 yards. Cromartie contributed an interception early to force the Raiders' offense into a shell and sparked the Chargers' opening TD. Steve Gregory played well in his 2nd game as the nickel DB, and contributed a sack off a safety blitz. Safeties Eric Weddle and Kevin Ellison also had good games, although the group had problems with Miller in the middle of the field. Tackling was improved across the board, and there was none of the confusion that resulted in cheap plays for the Raiders (contrast this with Week 1, where Cromartie and former S Clinton Hart allowed a late TD bomb to give Oakland a 4th quarter lead).
Special Teams: C-
Surprisingly, this area has become a weakness for the Chargers over the last 3 weeks. Coverage teams allowed a long kick return - the Raiders were able to get a cheap FG late in the 1st half, just after the Chargers had taken a commanding 21-7 lead. For the 2nd straight game, the blocking teams were unable to create space for Sproles. Sproles himself had an unusually rough game, losing a fumble near midfield during a punt return - this play gave Oakland momentum after closing within 8 points. Later, on the kickoff following Oakland's last FG, Sproles mishandled the return, getting brought down at the Chargers' 8-yard line. P Mike Scifres nearly had a punt blocked when Hester missed a block. PK Nate Kaeding had only 1 FG attempt - he was his usual perfect self inside 40 yards, and made a touchdown-saving tackle on the return mentioned earlier. The Chargers should consider returning to the short, high kickoffs used the previous week in Kansas City.
Coaching: B
Norv Turner showed some imagination, using the Wildcat to get the Chargers on the scoreboard. He also was smart to emphasize the passing game in the first half against the Raiders, build a large early lead and force Oakland's passing game to keep pace. However, the Chargers came out with a stalled engine in the 3rd quarter, and it appeared that Turner didn't have an answer for jump-starting the offense. On defense, Ron Rivera dialed back the blitzes a bit against JaMarcus Russell, but nearly every call was effective. The only knocks against Rivera were not taking Miller completely out of the game with constant double teams, and not using more zone-blitzes in the first half to flood the middle of the field and take away what little comfort zone Russell has.
Biggest Positives:
- Norv Turner getting innovative with the Wildcat inside the opponents' 10-yard line.
- Emphasizing the pass to build an early lead in the first half.
- Red-zone offense was improved, scoring 3 TDs in 4 chances.
- Building a lead allowed the Chargers' defense to attack the QB - posting 5 sacks.
- Defense holds the opponent to less than 100 yards rushing.
- Defense keeps Oakland from scoring TDs in 3 out of 4 short field opportunities.
- Improved pass protection for Rivers.
Biggest Areas of Concern:
- The Chargers inability to control the line of scrimmage when operating a power-run offense.
- Norv Turner's insistence on running the ball out of power-run formations.
- Self-inflicted mistakes keep the Chargers from putting opponents away.
- Inability to neutralize the opposing teams' TE.
- Special Teams miscues gave Oakland great field position during the 2nd half.
- Injuries to Burnett and Dobbins at ILB.
Looking Ahead:
To "monkey wrenching" Eli Manning's postseason hopes. Based on the Giants last three losses (at Saints, vs. Cardinals, at Eagles), their defense has problems handling spread offenses. With this in mind, Norv Turner should continue to emphasize the pass over the run. The game in New York will give us the first opportunity to gauge whether the Chargers have turned the corner, or whether they've taken advantage of 2 of the worst teams in the NFL.

9Ruh-Roh: Why Isn't Eddie Cibrian Wearing His Wedding Ring?
Well hell, girl. I don't know. But I figured the best way to quash this "Eddie's leaving LeAnn" rumor would be to go directly to the source—and I don't mean Eddie's rep (if he's got one). I mean LeAnn's Twitter, because we all know that all will be revealed there, guys. These are her latest Tweets from her feed:
Yeah. So, completely irrelevant, right? And how unlike LeAnn is that? In fact, LeAnn hasn't posted anything non-automatically generated since October 9th—two whole days ago, and it was this:
Sweats, pork roast w/ veggies, my hubby…. Heaven! I love when he comes home from and I've got dinner ready. It feels so Lucy and Ricky :)
Now, I have a few questions. My first, of course, is what in hell is LeAnn doing eating pork roast if she's got this massive dental emergency that required a whole ton of anesthesia and what not? Second, Eddie's rep's actual statement? Is this:
"He went boxing at the gym and he doesn't wear his ring at the gym, who wears their ring at the gym? Not many people do."
Which sounds kind of rambly and scrambly to me, quite honestly. Also, we've seen Eddie going to/leaving the gym before. He's never not had his ring on then, so what's so different now? Don't know, guys, but I feel like *something's* brewing.

9 Responses to "Ruh-Roh: Why Isn't Eddie Cibrian Wearing His Wedding Ring?"
I don't wear my ring at the gym.
Me either! Using the weights bends my rings!
Why isn't Eddie wearing his wedding ring?
Because Eddie and his mistresses are purposely trying to drive Leann Rimes crazy. Eddie is smarter than what we give him credit for. Ever since these photos of him without his ring were posted on Monday, Leann has been going nuts. She set up a staged photo-op parading around a grocery store parking lot in a short leather skirt and no bra while flashing her ring. She canceled the concert she had planned for tomorrow claiming that once again she is "sick" and has a "physical illness",. She took to twitter to explain to one fan how Eddie ALWAYS wears his ring and only takes it off at the gym(despite the fact that there are photos of him at his son's soccer game without his ring on, the same soccer game that his mistress was attending with him and Leann because Eddie won't go anywhere without her). She made tweets comparing her marriage to Eddie like being in Heaven like Lucy and Ricky. Yeap Lucy and Ricky, who were known in HW to have a very rocky marriage because Ricky(aka Desi) was a cheater and drunk. She posted photos of a pumpkin that says "The Cibrian Family". Why would she need to put a pumpkin with their lastname on their front porch, does Eddie have a hard time finding his way home?
Leann is her own worst enemy. If she is going to push the "massive infection" card, shouldn't she at least lay low?
On Saturday(the day after she has this "massive infection"), she is spotted by an "onlooker" having a "great" dinner date with Eddie and his kids where she is witnessed drinking, eating sushi, and talking the night away with Eddie as "their" kids played. Doesn't that just melt your heart? See, Eddie isn't cheating because an "onlooker"(aka Leann Rimes) "saw" them on Saturday and they were happy! If she had a massive infection the day before, how is she then able to drink, eat raw fish, and talk all night long with Eddie? The fact that she fed this story to People magazine and then would post it to her fansite goes to show just how little she cares about her fans.
On Sunday, she writes a blog telling her fans that at 3 am she was rushed to the ER because she was in so much pain(she left out the part about how the pain was the result of her mixing alcohol with whatever meds her obtained on Friday) and that she is going to spend the day resting!
Did she spend the day resting? Nope. On Monday she posts a photo of Eddie's kids to her twitter page and then 10 photos of her and "her family"(Eddie and his kids) on a hiking trip. Considering that she posted the photos on Monday that means that the trip took place on Sunday or Monday. In the photos she is all over Eddie and smiling. What happend to that massive pain that caused her to be rushed to the ER at 3 am on Sunday? Funny how the pain disappeared long enough for her to take over 10 photos of Brandi's kids.
On Tuesday she sets up the parking lot staged photo-op and then Thursday rolls around and once again she is "sick", so sick that she has to cancel another concert even though the entire week she has been parading around LA looking like nothing ever happened on Friday or Sunday.
Strange how her dental symptoms disappeared when she was putting on the "happy family" act for the "onlooker" at Katsuya on Saturday and hiking with Eddie and his kids on Sunday/Monday.
Rehab, "illness," super-happy photo ops… Sounds like someone's perfect union is on the rocks & she's losing her shit in a pretty major way.
Leann is "quiet" on twitter because she is taking more photos of Brandi kids to post to her fan website and twitter account or setting up another "happy family" moment to report to People magazine!
That was fast. Leann is back to tweeting and she tweeted that she just can't fathom what is happening to her! Seriously? Leann can't fathom why her "dental problems/the flu/kidney stones" only present when her husband refuses to go on tour with her? And yet she wasn't worried about what was happening to herself when she was dining/drinking/talking to Eddie at Katsuya on Saturday, hiking with Eddie and his kids on Sunday, posting all those photos of the hiking trip with "her" family to her twitter account and "fan" website on Monday, and parading around a parking lot in a leather miniskirt and no bra while flashing her wedding rings as she smiled like the Chesire Cat or grinned like the cat who ate the canary. What a great tribulation for Leann, being plagued by this mysterious dental illness that ONLY presents when Eddie Cibrian wants to spend that time shacking up with his mistress instead of on tour with his needy/clingy wife.
Leann Rimes fakes these physical illnesses to guilt Eddie into staying with her and then for making him feel trapped, Eddie punishes Leann by being photographed without his wedding ring!
Get ready for the mega media blitz that Leann has planned for Sunday and Monday, now the famewhore that is Leann Rimes is trying to use her grandmother's death to get her name in the press and of course justify why she cancels even more concerts because she is very worried that her "sweet baby" Eddie is on the set of Hot In Cleveland hooking up with women.
Every week it's something with Leann, she just needs to divorce Eddie because no other celeb spends that much time monitoring their spouse the way Leann does. Instead of making excuses for missing "work", why doesn't she just be honest and tell her fans that she has to babysit her husband because even after being together 3 years, he still won't be faithful to her?
Leann's new album is having some major problems, DB(the man Leann has said is like a father to her and the same man who cyberbullied Brandi on twitter) is arranging "listening parties"(preview of Leann's album) for certain fans of Leann from Nov to Jan, all over the US(from LA to New York). Is that even normal? Do singers set up listening parties/previews of their album before their album is even released for certain fans?It sounds more like they are still in the process of figuring out what songs to put on her album and they are using "fan" input because Curb didn't like Leann's choices. Or perhaps Leann is on plan F, hype up her album by claiming that it was illegally leaked by one of her fans and then launch a lawsuit against the fan for invasion of privacy and releasing these songs before the official release date of the album.
It also gives the impression that Curb is fighting Leann on the release of this album(perhaps they want to release it 2014, in the fall/winter of 2013, or don't want to release the album at all) and Leann is going over their heads with the previews to prove to them that people want to hear about her affair with Eddie even though she flaunted that affair like crazy from the moment she started sleeping with Eddie until now.
Leann hasn't pulled a "Look at me" stunt today. Maybe she is just busy contacting her mouthpieces on how she wants the story to run.

PUSD employees are entitled to $15 million in S&C increases
Original post made by Tony E on Apr 29, 2009
The total dollar amount of these obligations is $15 million dollars.
For more information please visit Web Link at www.pleasantonparceltaxinfo.com

Its nice to see that you admit that the proposed property tax increase is for PUSD EMPLOYEE RAISES while all this time I thought it was "for the kids". The card I got in the mail today from yes-g had pictures of kids on it, but now by you own admission I think you need to re-do with pictures of teachers in rags standing next to their beat-up Volvos.
Nobody is entitled, all contracts can be renegotiated and your AIG comparison is laughable.

I don't think that this post actually came from Tony E becuase since he began posting its been usually only once a night and this post does not have the 'REGISTERED USER' tag in bold print on it.
Now he could have forgotten to log-in, but I dont think so...maybe there could be two Tony E in the same neighborhood, nah. I think Stacey knows all about this kind of stuff.

Nice Try---you're right. I don't think that the real Tony E would include a web link to the No-G website. Anyway, I still stand by my comment.

"Democrats charged Tuesday that the CIA has released documents about congressional briefings on harsh interrogation techniques in order to deflect attention and blame away from itself.
"I think there is so much embarrassment in some quarters [of the CIA] that people are going to try to shift some of the responsibility to others that's what I think," said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.),
who sat on the Senate Intelligence Committee and was briefed on interrogation techniques five times between 2006 and 2007."Web Link
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top officials have long known about waterboarding and other tactics but did little to stop the techniques from being used.
Democrats had no trouble when the CIA leaked like a sieve during the Bush presidency.
Now they are whining because the shoe is on the other foot.

IMO, the CIA should not leak documents. I think the Dems should answer, fully and honestly: "What did you know, and when did you know it?"
Since His Emptiness has decided to release some legal memos, he (or should I say his handlers) should also release those memos that desribe the value of waterboarding and other harsh methods. Let's have a 9-11 type commission, with everything being discussed, including the Dems trying to hide their heads in the sand, with no plausible deniability.
Nancy, what did you know, and when did you know it?
Pretty simple stuff, really.

Every leader needs to know the limits of his power, right up from the T-5 running a police detail. There was a BBC series "Yes Minister" that illustrated this. Subordinates keep "Pearl Harbor" files. This is why almost no one gets fired.

Speaking of leaks, gang, did any of you ever condemn the Bush regime for blowing agent Valerie Plame's cover and trashing her intel network? I didn't think so.
on May 12, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Valerie was given up by her own husband, Joe Wilson. After that came Armitage then Libby. It was a stupid charge from the beginning. The CIA assigned her to a desk job, once her husband gave her away. Yawn.
Back to important things: What did Nancy know, and when did she know it? Did waterboarding work, or not? Let's have an investigation!

I condemned the CIA for its inability to demonstrate Plame's covert status under the statute. That is why no one was prosecuted for that exposure. Libby was prosecuted for a bad memory. Bush should have pardoned Libby and demanded an investigation of the CIA mismanagement. I suspect the guilty parties had their own Pearl Harbor files.
on May 12, 2009 at 10:05 pm
"Valerie was given up by her own husband, Joe Wilson."
CYA mythology gets more desperate every day. Face it, Gary, your side blew it again. "assigned her to a desk job" and it's all right, huh? You conveniently forget the networks she would have built up undercover, and the sources she would have cultivated. All blown.
Or maybe you never knew. Maybe you got a lot to learn about intel methods, lil' bro.
"Bush should have pardoned Libby..."
Illustrating once more Bush's lack of guts, and of loyalty to his friends.
"I condemned the CIA for its inability to demonstrate Plame's covert status under the statute"
So you want the CIA to compromise national security information for you, huh? You people are a piece of work.
on May 12, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Honestly, how does it matter than senior members of Congress were briefed? It's still torture or as Wally like to call it, "an inconvenience." Pelosi and Feinstein probably were briefed and they may have understood the implications or may not. It doesn't absolve any one else in the chain of command in the CIA or the White House or DOJ.
on May 12, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Powell and his drunken side kick gave up Plame to undermine their boss, Bush in a grudge match.
Now the worm has turned, the CIA is spilling the beans on the briefings to Democrats on " torture"
Lets have an open hearing on who knew what and when, let the truth and chips fall where they will.
on May 12, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Yes, let's get this whole sordid mess out under the light of scrutiny. Let's get the CIA Inspector General's Report, the destroyed email archives, the destroyed videotapes, and whatever else is hiding under the clock of Procedures and Methods. Clearly, the CIA knew it had a problem and did everything it could to cover itself. Let's release the evidence and let the chips and indictments fall where they belong.
on May 12, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Plame was assigned a desk job after she joined her husband in Africa, when he was on ambassadorial duty. It was assumed by any rational inttlegience service that wives only come along on such duties, in such places, if they are part of the "team". Additionally, Joe Wilson named his wife on a resume that he put out on the Internet, when he was looking a job, contrary to his claims that he only referred to her as "Mrs Wilson" (what a crock!).
Armitage outed her to the press, not Libby.
Time to get over it, Paul.
What did Nancy know, and when did she know it? Let's investigate.
on May 12, 2009 at 11:13 pm
You never hear about Plame and Joe Wilson any more, they are under the bus.

On that I completely concur.
"So you want the CIA to compromise national security information for you, huh?"
I thought it was already compromised by the "outing". If the CIA left any nets Plame was associated with unchanged, they are as incompetent as some say they are.
" You people are a piece of work." I admit to obesity, but I am still just one person.

In these Machiavellian times, it almost seems that the White House and some in the Democratic Congress who are still calling for hearings are at ease embarrassing Nancy Pelosi, whose prior value to the party as anti-Bush bomb thrower has now been eclipsed,
since she appears as a looney, undisciplined partisan who can do far more damage to the cause than she ever did to Bush.
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A source close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now confirms that Pelosi was told in February 2003 by her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, that waterboarding was actually used on CIA detainee Abu Zubaydah.
This appears to contradict Pelosi's account that she was never told waterboarding actually happened, only that the administration was considering using it.Web Link
on May 13, 2009 at 8:55 am
Looks like Sharon has moved her vitriol to a new thread. She continues her attacks on a decorated soldier like Colin Powell and has no problem labeling people as traitors. She calls Nancy Pelosi "a looney, undisciplined partisan". Yet she gets apoplectic when Wanda Sykes dares to make Limbaugh the butt of some jokes
Sharon also rants:
"You never hear about Plame and Joe Wilson any more, they are under the bus.
No invitations to DC events-- nothing--zip --zero"
Has it crossed Sharon's mind that maybe Plame and Wilson are not interested in Dc events? But, how would Sharon know who gets invited to DC events anyway?
Of course, all of Sharon's postings should be taken with a grain of salt. This is after all a person who claims to be a "9/11" survivor" in order to further her point of view.

Good move by ObamaWeb Link
"In a dramatic and high-profile reversal for his young administration, President Barack Obama is seeking to block the release of 44 photographs depicting abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody in Iraq and Afghanistan".
....Obama's reversal is sure to set off an outcry on the left, which has pushed the Obama administration to come clean about interrogation policies and other actions carried out by the Bush administration.
Time to put an end to all this nonsense now
on May 13, 2009 at 11:30 am
"Time to put an end to all this nonsense now"
I am not sure what you are calling nonsense (though I hardly believe you really care on way or another).
I would call the fact that our country may have abandoned many of the ideals we stand for as being nonsense.
Web Link
" Asked by Bob Schieffer on Sunday how America could torture when it made a mockery of our ideals, Cheney blithely gave an answer that surely would have been labeled treasonous by Rush Limbaugh, if a Democratic ex-vice president had said it about a Republican president.
"Well, then you'd have to say that, in effect, we're prepared to sacrifice American lives rather than run an intelligent interrogation program that would provide us the information we need to protect America," Doomsday Dick said."
on May 13, 2009 at 11:38 am
Obama's reversal on the release of the photos is just another example of how empty he is. He now seems to be concerned about inflaming passions in the war theatres. If he had core values, he would have understood this from the beginning, and would NOT have promised complete transparency to his leftist base.
Nevertheless, I give him credit for finally getting it right.
on May 13, 2009 at 12:03 pm
on May 13, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Yes, Gary. I agree.
I give credit to him for reversing himself into the correct position, whatever the reasons may be ( and by now I believe his reasons are political, nothing to do with protecting American soldiers, but whatever, at least he did it).
This helps some, but does not eliminate, the contempt I felt for him for even opening the door to the debate in the first place.
Cheney is my hero. He helped bring this about.
But I will focus on celebrating a good outcome, and not on the circuitous route to achieve it.
Now,,what will the outcome be on "prosecuting" former Admin?
Let's hope that he pulls back on that also..though again, he has opened an unprecedented door in American politics from which we will never return to our prior level of trust in a current Admin to not prosecute a former one.
on May 13, 2009 at 1:27 pm
I am very big on Cheney, too. He gets it. America was not attacked again, after 9-11, and I credit him with much of the credit.
I do not assume that Obama will get it right, because it is right. However, if he lurches into the truth, I will support him, as I did with the priates/SEALS.
on May 13, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Good point..I need to start a list to remind me of what good outcomes this Pres has, in your great words, "lurched into", for when I am ruminating over another yet another dangerous decision Pres Obama is considering.
Pirates, Photos, ....oh yes, reopening the door to military instead of civilian trials for Gitmorians, ..can you think of others?
Currently stuck on the WSJ headline today about the Obama Admin daring to consider laws regulating Bank compensation, even of banks that don't take Fed monies. Another lovely idea designed to destroy our financial institutions yet further. Of course, Frank is in charge of proposing the bills, so I am sure it will go as well as every other financial regulation that has flowed through his fingers. Just learned today that the REASON bankers compensation is so tied to set outcome measures is FROM GOVT REGs passed by..guess who??,, in the 90s which took the decision making out of Board's hands, and made it "regulated" by laws.
Lovely. Let' put more laws in place to "help"!!
on May 13, 2009 at 1:49 pm
"I am very big on Cheney, too. He gets it. America was not attacked again, after 9-11, and I credit him with much of the credit."
Reminds me of the stoned Beatnik who snapped his fingers every 10 minutes to keep the tigers away. Somebody reminded him there were no tigers within several thousand miles. He responded: "Sure works, don't it."
Some people see 'em as they wanna believe 'em.
on May 13, 2009 at 2:02 pm
That was actually a pretty good one on your part. I, for one, would be quite satisfied, if Cheney continues to snap his fingers...after all it keep us safe from attack for over 7 years.
on May 13, 2009 at 2:05 pm
A rumble in the jungle Web Link
" The American Civil Liberties Union, which argued for the photos' release, expressed outrage and said the decision "makes a mockery" of Obama's campaign promise of transparency.
"It's absolutely essential that these photos be released so the public can examine for itself the torture and abuse that was conducted in its name, and so that high-level officials who authorized or permitted that abuse can be held accountable," ACLU attorney Amrit Singh said."
This may get Pelosi out of the fire, it appears she may have lied to congress about what she knew and when she knew it, a very serious matter.
I am sure Obama is glad that Pelosi has been greatly diminished by the revelations this week but he cannot throw her under the bus....well not quite yet..
on May 13, 2009 at 2:22 pm
"A rumble in the jungle"
Indeed. However it will probably end up being a slow, and prolonged, acid drip in the stomach for the lefties ("How could he DO this to us, after all we SUPPORTED him!").
Political hypocrisy happens to both sides, so there are no saints on this score. Sure is nice to watch the lefties squirm, though!
on May 13, 2009 at 2:31 pm
More like a tsunami of nitric acidWeb Link
"The following can be attributed to Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU:
"The Obama administration's adoption of the stonewalling tactics and opaque policies of the Bush administration flies in the face of the president's stated desire to restore the rule of law, to revive our moral standing in the world and to lead a transparent government.
This decision is particularly disturbing given the Justice Department's failure to initiate a criminal investigation of torture crimes under the Bush administration......
"If the Obama administration continues down this path, it will betray not only its promises to the American people, but its commitment to this nation's most fundamental principles."
I wonder if DNC spokesperson Wanda Sykes has a pithy comment to add?
on May 13, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I would have thought that Sharon and Gary would be praising Obama for continuing the policies of the Bush administration.
well, at least with Gary I know where he stands--Sharon just posts in order to inflame passions--she really has no feelings about the matter one way or another.
This is another tempest in a teapot that Sharon has latched onto in her daily trollings of the internet--and is attempting whip us all into a frenzy. She has still not let go of her Wanda Sykes fixation either.
It would be interesting if Sharon devoted her energies to the country's overall well being, instead of a constant parade of Obama bashing (even though she has stated in other threads that she supports Obama)--but she also said that she survived 9/11
on May 13, 2009 at 3:09 pm
The country's overall well-being depends on continuing to survive..which depends on security and economics.
Therefore, anyone who is fighting bad policy in economics or the security of our nation is devoting his or her energies to the country's overall well being, by definition.
You may agree with the policies that this Admin is putting into place or trying to, and it is your right to have any opinion you wish and express it. But, those of us who oppose turning this country into an undefended socialist country will continue fighting for the overall well-being of our country as we see fit.
We may lose, but if we do, all of the country loses. If Obama ( Pelosi, Reid, Frank, etc) fail, then the country wins.
If you disagree, keep voting for these policies..apparently you liked the results of the last 2 years of Bush's Admin being run by Dems because you voted to rid us of the one extremely small check to the Dems so that they have no checks at all. If you like the results in 2 1/2 years, keep voting for the Dems. Keep voting for the Dems until you like the economic and security results... This is called repeating the same actions and expecting different results, a tongue-in-cheek definition of insanity.
If one day you wake up and realize that everything is WORSE after unchecked and uncontrolled Dem policy..think about how you vote and make changes.
on May 13, 2009 at 3:20 pm
"Therefore, anyone who is fighting bad policy in economics or the security of our nation is devoting his or her energies to the country's overall well being, by definition."
So people like you, Gary and Sharon, who are opposing Obama at every turn, are fighting against his good policy on security, Obama's policy must be good,since we have not had a terrorist attack while he has been in office (this is just an extension of Cheney's reasoning regarding torture and how it helped make the country safe. Therefore you must be supporting the terrorists (Liz Cheney had it wrong).
"But, those of us who oppose turning this country into an undefended socialist country will continue fighting for the overall well-being of our country as we see fit."
Care to elaborate on that? Are we talking about an armed insurrection if you do not like what Obama does? Anything goes whenever you feel that this country is headed, in your opinion, in the wrong direction?

I find "Real Sharons" posts weird and irritating.
She mainly harasses the other poster Sharon, like some little puppy dog and then snaps at Sharons heals.
It has gotten really old.
She should get a normal name and stop this harassment.
To the main topic, interesting developments today, Cheney supports Obamas choice of new general to lead Afghanistan and Obama takes Cheneys advice re the photos.
The real agenda of the ACLU becomes clear, they want to prosecute a witch hunt against the prior administration and tear the country apart at a time we are fighting two wars overseas and a bad economy at home.
Glad they were stopped and I hope the judge backs Obama

If Hoover would have supported nuclear power, he would have been just fine. How about Obama?
on May 13, 2009 at 9:35 pm
"If Hoover would have supported nuclear power, he would have been just fine."
How could he? Nuclear power wasn't invented until long after the Hoover administration.
Those who do not learn history have to invent it.
on May 14, 2009 at 6:47 am
Jacob-- (or Sharon posting from a different computer)--I am sorry you have a problem with my postings. So far the editors have not deleted any of my postings--so there must not be any problem. I have noticed this phenomenon quite often--if I criticize Sharon too much, someone (guess who) posts to complain about it and say it is harassment etc.
If you follow Sharon's posts ( and of course there is no way that you do not), you would understand why I reply to her postings on a regular basis--but just to recap she makes outrageous and inflammatory statements and makes up stories in order to justify her postings.
May I suggest you no longer read my posts, Jacob.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:56 am
"How could he? Nuclear power wasn't invented until long after the Hoover administration"
I figured it would be you who took the bait.
In order use nuclear power, Hoover would have had to discover it. That would make him a really smart guy, like Fermi or Szilard. However, even though he was not that smart, he was smart enough to have used nuclear power, if he had had it. Obama is not.

Cute tap dance there, but you're only fooling yourself. ROTF. Plus, you left out Cleopatra, Napoleon, Geronimo, Charlemagne, Ghenghis Kahn, Elizabeth I, Montezuma, Washington, Sargon of Akkad, Adam, ... .
BTW, that's Hahn and Meitner, then Szilard. And you don't have to discover nuclear power in order to use it. Just flip on your TV. 20% of its power is nuke.
Next time you set one of your traps, please tell the rest of us so we don't have to wait for you to fall in it to start chuckling.
on May 14, 2009 at 11:04 am
I'm still chuckling....
Look, Obama HAS nuclear power at his fingertips, but he refuses to implement more of it. That 20% did NOT come from him (a little history lesson for you, Paul). Hoover, for all his problems, would not be so stupid as to sabotage the economy by refusing to build out nuclear power. Obama is not exactly stupid, but he is empty. He would rather redistribute a shrinking pie than to expand the pie. Why? Becasue he does not want to offend his leftist base. Empty is as empty does.
on May 14, 2009 at 11:09 am
Love Gary's posts--now he is in contact with a dead president and is finding out what he would have done had he had nuclear power!!!!
I guess gary seems to believe that if you say something often enough (i.e. Obama is empty) then everyone will believe it. But that is what happens when you spend your time talking with politicians!!!
on May 14, 2009 at 11:34 am
Now you have fallen into the end game trap...just as I expected some leftist would do.
I don't have to read dead peoples' minds. I just examine their records, and apply logic. Hoover was pro-business, and I have every confidence that he would have supported a build out of nuclear power.
However, Obama is ALIVE! He has all that nuclear technology, but he refuses to use it. As I already have said, it is because this live man is empty, thus empty to the nature of the problem that our economy faces. He is more concerned with pleasing his fellow lefties. So, how do we overcome this problem, with a win-win solution? My suggestion, and I am always trying to provide good suggestions, is for you lefties to start a grass roots campaign in favor of nuclear (hint: carbon-free) power. His Emptiness will then have the cojones to flip flop on nukes. We already know he is a flip flopper, so the question is: Will he flip flop on nukes?...that would be to our collective, and enormous benefit.
Will you lead the way, Hoobert?
on May 14, 2009 at 11:42 am
Gary reads minds, communes with the dead and knows all!!!
"Now you have fallen into the end game trap.."
What ever that is.
".just as I expected some leftist would do."
So if you question "facts" that you claim about Hoover and/o question your "empty" comments then you are a leftist? boy what a mindreader Gary is!!!!
" I just examine their records, and apply logic. Hoover was pro-business, and I have every confidence that he would have supported a build out of nuclear power."
But it is all speculation--you have no real proof.
"As I already have said, it is because this live man is empty," and "His Emptiness"
More of gary's "empty" fixation. I wonder what is "empty" in gary's body.

Still squirming, huh? C'mon, get real. Obama had a pretty good first 100 days, but it takes far longer than that to build a nuclear plant, or any kind of major generating facility. But I do know that none of that fission juice dates from the Hoover administration. Just LOL now.
"Hoover, for all his problems, would not be so stupid as to sabotage the economy..."
Unlike Bush, Hoover was a very bright guy and a superachiever. But unfortunately for him and millions of Americans, his Republican ideology trumped his intelligence. So I must say he was so stupid as to sabotage the economy.
on May 14, 2009 at 2:28 pm
What better time than the first 100 days to promote a major effort on nuclear energy? The problem is that His Emptiness has his finger in the leftist political winds, and it don't look good to him. Leaders lead...he niether leads nor follows, he just spends. When the blank check is no longer available to him, he will panic, becasue he has next to nothing else.
on May 14, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Gary, Obama has his hands full preventing the economic shipwreck that Bush and Republican ideology have been setting up for the past 8 years. He doesn't have time to promote your pet projects, even if Herbert Hoover [giggle, snort, wheeze, haww] endorsed them.

Hoover did support the equivalent of nuclear power, Hoover Dam.
on May 14, 2009 at 5:09 pm
You mean Boulder Dam, right? Everybody knows Hoover made vacuum cleaners.
on May 14, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Early common name: Boulder Canyon Project (even though it was moved from there to Black Canyon).
Official name, at the start of the project: Hoover Dam
After FDR got elected: Changed to Boulder Dam
Renamed in 1947, signed by Truman, back to orininal name: Hoover Dam
Herbert Hoover was very much for technological development, and moving people out of poverty through the use of technology. Indeed, the Hoover Dam was his equivalent of a nuclear power plant. It is abundantly clear that he would have advanced the cause of nukes, today. Obama doesn't get it. Hoover did.
on May 15, 2009 at 7:01 am
Just learned that every Thursday night Obama has a "public opinion" meeting to find out what the public "wants".
Wow..what a GREAT LEADER!!!! Puts his finger in the wind and shifts depending on if his PR dogs won or lost the weekly PR battle, instead of doing what he knows is RIGHT TO PROTECT AMERICA AND GROW THE ECONOMY. Just another "populist" follower.
Gosh, aren't you proud, America?
on May 15, 2009 at 7:20 am
Yes, I am proud. It is too bad that you are full of loathing for our president and our democracy (i.e. your comments about our supreme court).
Aren't elected leaders put into office to carry out the will of the people? Or do you object to part of our democracy as well.
Nothing wrong with seeing what the public wants.
In fact, hasn't that been one of the big talking points of the republicans for years, that democrats are out of touch with what the public wants?
If the republicans would be doing what Obama is doing you would be turning cartwheels. It is clear that you object to anything and everything that Obama does.
on May 15, 2009 at 9:53 am
" It is abundantly clear that he would have advanced the cause of nukes, today. Obama doesn't get it. Hoover did."
Nice Googling, Gary. But hydro and nuke are not the same thing. I bet Hoover knew that.
BTW, why push nukes? Why not coal? We got lots of it, and mining and burning it shows those environmental extremists who's boss. Say, you're not one of those closet warmies, are you?
on May 15, 2009 at 12:10 pm
"BTW, why push nukes? Why not coal?"
I have supported nuclear power for decades, especially when the lefties decided to trash it. I can have the best of two worlds at once: Clean and abundant and cheap electricity, while simultaneously challenging the leftists to prove their point...something they cannot do, with respect to nukes.
I think coal should slowly be displaced by nuclear. It is dirty and its extraction is particularly harmful to the environment. However, it is a national security treasure that should not be abandoned...we may well need it, big time.
I am confident that Hoover would agree with me, after all, he was quite intelligent.
Has the CIA briefed Congress about the importance of nuclear power? If so, I think we should have a truth commission to determine who was briefed...what did they know, and when did they know it? I suggest that the commission start with Jimmy Carter. We need to know who was primarily responsbile for endangering our national security and our economy.
on May 15, 2009 at 1:18 pm
"I am confident that Hoover would agree with me, after all, he was quite intelligent."
No, he would agree with me for that reason. He would agree with you because he was a Republican, from way back when being a Republican was a smart thing to be. Actually, I think he'd follow Specter's example, or set it, if he were alive today. Sorry, Gary. You're out of luck on that one.
Ain't it fun to impute allies who can't object?
"Has the CIA briefed Congress about the importance of nuclear power?"
Huh? That's not the CIA's mission. Getting intel wrong is. What are you smoking now?
"I suggest that the commission start with Jimmy Carter. We need to know who was primarily responsbile."
Hey, didja know that ground was broken for the last new US nuke plants during Carter's administration, and that the two most active years for nuke construction starts were 1967 and 1968, during Johnson's term?
Actually, it's Reagan we'd have to resurrect and blame for endangering our national security and our economy. He shut down Carter's energy independence initiatives in favor of buying cheap foreign oil from his veep's (Bush 41) family friends in Saudi Arabia.
