On any post, click HOME under the post title. This will load the entire month's posts for browsing.
Some readers may have noticed that we've limited the post count on our front page. So we are adapting a bit of a new format. In addition to our regular content we're going to have a sticky post which will have nothing but our pithy titles that link to important, interesting, shexy or disgusting stories. This post will grow during the day (so check back.)
A new list will appear every day.

I've always been curious, do the radio clowns have a professional guffawer, or do they have a guffaw track?0
I thought I got to the bottom of the page awful fast. Due to lay offs?+3
Yes, the Obama economy has forced us to cut 10 stories off the front page.+6
"we've limited the post count on our front page"
Are there other pages? If so, how do we access them?
It's always best to navigate this site by going to the sidebar and clicking archives and choosing the current month.
Or, click home on any post any it will load all the posts of the month. – bfh+1
I suppose now Arabs will complain about how Israel's missile shield lowers their self esteem .. seeing as how their greatest achievement is indiscriminately firing missiles that they don't know how to make in the general direction of Israeli cities
Or maybe they'll parade some child who they say was wounded by the falling debris from one of these explosions and claim Israel is guilty of "disproportionate self defense"+2
Brian go to the archives on the side bar. its all there.+1
The street justice story reminds me of a great story from the local bike couriers from a few years back. One of the couriers had his bike stolen and managed to catch the guy. He performed a citizen's arrest and used a U-lock to secure the individual to a parking meter while waiting for the police…he also radio'd all of the other city couriers his location. Apparently the rule was that no one was to physically touch the perp, but hey, sometimes the need to relieve yourself comes suddenly…and the police made sure they took their good sweet time attending. Sometimes a good old fashioned shaming goes a long ways.+1
Is this new format because of the election?
Where are we supposed to post comments on these stories?
And if we can't, what is the point?0
Fur, I don't know the inside story about what is driving this format change, but the compliment to your parody, satire, ridicule, enlightenment, and entertainment content is the reader comments. They create a community and a draw for more viewers and participants.
This new sticky post format that just links to stories, makes you another aggregator and changes the characteristic of this site that makes it so appealing.
If I'm uninformed and way off base, I apologize – this is just my initial reaction. My thought is that I would rather see one comment allowed post in the space where you're posting multiple links.+6
Will you please make these instructions available as a downloadable PDF? I hope you'll also do a video tutorial about this. Thanks!+1
Thanks for the link. Normally I despise dagos, but Nick is god.
Right after 9/11 he was quoted in the NYT as saying "Every mosque in American should be on fire right now."+1
Can it take us back a year so we can feel good again?
Back to a time when there was still hope that things would change.+1

AL Relief Pitcher Blurbs
Joe Nathan, RHP, TEX: Nathan's skills returned in 2012 as his 2.80 ERA and 2.76 xERA seemed a lot more indicative of the player we've come to know over the years. The main reason was his returned control, as his 1.8 BB/9 marked the lowest of his illustrious career. Now with Mike Adams gone, the closer job is Nathan's until he fails multiple times. His leash will be plenty long.
Fernando Rodney, RHP, TB: Rodney's season in 2012 was nothing short of a miracle. A career 4.5+ BB/9 guy, Rodney's 2012 mark of 1.8 BB/9 and a 5.1 K/BB ratio, is one of the single greatest turnarounds in baseball history considering the previous 4 seasons contained an average K/BB of 1.4 and ERA's all over 4.00. Rodney has completely turned around his skill set and is a great repeat candidate in 2012.
Casey Janssen, RHP, TOR: For years, the advanced fantasy baseball community had been waiting for Janssen and his incredible skills to be named the closer inToronto. After a great deal of patience, Janssen notched his first full time chance at the job and he ran away with it. Janssen posted his best peripherals of his career in 2012 and even with some regression of his 9.5 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9, Janssen would remain an elite closer option.
Mariano Rivera, RHP, NYY: Despite season ending ACL surgery at the age of 43, Mo remains determined to depart the game on his own terms. With plans at this point to return for another season, Rivera remains a top notch closing option. However, he finally has earned a demerit in the health column and should be dropped on your draft boards accordingly. David Robertson still owns an excellent closer skill set and will always remain a threat to Rivera. If that cutter of Mo's stays deadly as ever though, we like Rivera's chances in his last hurrah.
Joaquin Benoit, RHP, DET: Jose Valverde is finally out of the picture, and if Jim Leyland chooses to give the closer job to Benoit, there's plenty of reason to put your trust in the 35-year-old setup man. Despite a 3.68 ERA in 71 innings last year, Benoit's xERA was only 3.33, as he enjoyed better peripherals than in 2011. His second half last year when he posted a 2.1 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 was marred by an insane 27% HR/FB and 2.7 HR/9 mark which obviously won't continue. Have faith in his steady skill set.
Chris Perez, RHP, CLE: A three-year declining save percentage from 88% in 2010 to 71% in 2012 sounds some warning bells, but the good news is that Perez has also decreased his walk rate in each of the last 5 seasons, all the way down to 2.5 BB/9 last year. Furthermore, he regained his K/9 levels of 2010 after slipping down to 5.9 K/9 in 2011, a season which had left fantasy owners skeptical. There are no such issues heading into the 2013 campaign, other than the usual one: Vinnie Pestano lies in waiting if Perez slips up.
Ryan Madson, RHP, LAA: Madson was a hot commodity in early drafts in 2012 before he blew out his elbow and went under the knife for Tommy John Surgery. He still owns the same skill set as always, but with more risk of course, coming off such a significant injury. He also has to adjust to a new league, and new environment inLos Angeles, and he may not start the season as the closer. Don't overpay for Madson, the skills are great, but the risk may not be worth the reward given the depth at closer.
Glen Perkins, LHP, MIN: Perkins can thrive in the closer role providing he has truly learned how to solve righties. Apparently the change in 2011 to the bullpen aided him in that, as his avg. against righties dropped to .259 (.386 in 2010 in 146 IP in both the minors and big leagues). He has shown 2011's skill set for two straight years now though, so all he has to do is fend off fellow bullpen mate Jared Burton and he should be a valuable source of saves.
Joel Hanrahan, RHP, BOS: It remains to be seen how "The Hammer†will respond to the change of leagues, especially going to a division as tough as the AL East, but he needs to do more than just translate his skills over from his days as a Pirate. Hanrahan's walk rate ballooned to 5.4/9 IP last year, which is an insane number, considering he had dropped his walk rate from 4.8/9 in 2009, all the way down to 2.1/9 in 2011. Is there a hidden injury? Consider this: 1.83 ERA in 2011, career low walk rate (by far). Fastball velocity: 97 mph. All other years it was around 95-96 mph. Huge risk.
Grant Balfour, RHP, OAK: Balfour has excelled each of the past three years inOaklandandTampaBay, but last year was his first in the closer role. He performed wonderfully, posting a 10.5 K/9, 2.5 BB/9 (his best peripherals in albeit a small sample size) in the second half when he recorded 17 saves. Small warning signs include a decrease in BABIP against each of the past 3 years, (can that continue?), also, 4%, 11%, 5% HR/FB trend starting in 2010 raises eyebrows. Don't overpay.
Greg Holland, RHP, KC:Hollandowns elite skills, although his walk rate is a slight issue (4.6/9), it didn't stop him from recording 16 saves in 2012, and a 2.21 ERA during that stint as a closer. High profit potential here given his high GB rate, and high strikeout rate; beware Aaron Crow, Kelvin Herrera, and Tim Collins though – all of whom are capable of handling the job if Holland slips up at any point. Investing in a handcuff would be wise.
Jim Johnson, RHP, BAL: Typically a closer needs a high strikeout rate to enjoy long-term sustained success; can Johnson buck the trend? His huge GB rate of over 60% and impeccable control (average 1.9 BB/9 over the past 3 seasons) are a huge help. Don't expect the Orioles to generate as many save chances for Johnson as they did last year; regression looms large on their miracle of a season in 2012. That doesn't mean Johnson is any less valuable,
Tom Wilhelmsen, RHP, SEA: One year does not a player make. While Wilhelmsen showed excellent skills in 2012, (9.9 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9) and a 2.50 ERA, he's still one year removed from his 6.0 K/9, 4.0 BB/9 season in 2011. Given the enormous disparity in the numbers, there still can be a lot of weight applied to Wilhelmsen's most recent season, but with other young options available, Wilhelmsen is best saved forALOnly leagues.
Addison Reed, RHP, CWS: With Chicago not having made a commitment to Reed until late last season, there's still reason to believe that his leash heading into 2013 isn't as long as some fantasy players might hope. Reed looked good last year, but his spurts of ineffectiveness, combined with a very high line drive rate (24%) and high fly ball rate in a great hitters park, are cause for concern. Don't pay yet for the closer he should become, because he's got a lot more growth room before he becomes a lockdown closer.
Ernesto Frieri, RHP, LAA: Frieri's transition from the friendly confines ofPETCOParkinSan Diegoto the tough AL West went about as smoothly as the Angels could've hoped for. Frieri recorded his best walk rate (4.09/9 IP) of his major league career, while also recording a career high strikeout rate. As expected, his HR/9 went up in a big way, which always can cause problems when you're trying to lock down a closer role. With Ryan Madson moving into the closer role if healthy, Frieri maintains value in holds leagues, as well as a solid handcuff option for Madson's owners.
Ryan Cook, RHP, OAK: Cook benefited from a lucky BABIP (.170) early in the season when he went on his scoreless innings streak. His peripherals during that time were awful, (a 5.6 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9, only resulting in a 1/8 K/BB ratio). He also benefited from an absurd LD ratio of 11%. However, in the second half, he flipped the script completely, as he kept his 9.8 K/9, but lowered his walk rate to 1.4/9 IP. That kind of inconsistency is not what managers look for in a closer, and Grant Balfour seems to be the better choice. Keep in mind however, if Cook can maintain his 2nd half gains, he could be a force.
Jake McGee, LHP, TB: If McGee never closes a game, he still holds a ton of value to fantasy leaguers. McGee had an incredible increase in his peripherals last season, as he registered 3.3 more K/9 than last year, while decreasing his walk rate by 1. He's an excellent source of holds and is even worth stashing simply for his K's, ERA, and WHIP help.
Joel Peralta, RHP, TB: Peralta had a solid season in relief for the Rays in 2012, building on what has really been a very successful three year stretch for the right hander. Peralta's long time fly-ball issue is one of the major reasons why he has primarily been a setup man. He should continue that role forTampain 2013, and is a value source of holds.
Jared Burton, RHP, MIN:Burtondropped his walk rate to a career low 2.3/9 IP last season. Almost as importantly,Burtonadded a large ground ball tilt mix into his repertoire. If Perkins slips up in the closer role and or has trouble vs. righties,Burtoncould be thrust into the role and should enjoy success. He's a strong source of holds and a sleeper closer candidate inALOnly drafts or deep mixed leagues.
Vinnie Pestano, RHP, CLE: Smooth, steady, durable, dependable: all those words describe Vinnie Pestano. He's an excellent source of holds, ERA and WHIP help, and if Chris Perez slips up, he's a sleeper closer candidate. He's worth drafting in any format.
David Robertson, RHP, NYY: Robertson has always been able to strike hitters out at a high rate, but last year marked his first season with a walk rate below 4.0. He has a K rate above 12.0/9 IP which makes gives him a lights out skill set. If Mariano Rivera isn't fully healthy, Robertson could be the next Craig Kimbrel. Target for holds, hope for the saves, and the K's, ERA, and WHIP help he gives you is just gravy.
Darren O' Day, RHP, BAL: O' Day was another pitcher whose performance forBaltimorelast season was critical in their miracle run in the latter part of the season. O' Day, who only pitched 16 innings for the Texas Rangers major league ball club, posted solid K/BB ratios in that stint, but allowed a lot of home runs. In 2008-2010, he was mostly a righty killer, but in 2012 O' Day held lefties to a .282 wOBA (weighted on base average) and righties to a mere .254: Both numbers are spectacular. Should anything happen to Jim Johnson, he is a good bet for some saves. But for now, he's a holds guy.
Andrew Bailey, RHP, BOS: Few are better than Bailey when he is healthy, but that time frame is so often tiny during the season. With Hanrahan brought in, Bailey looks to be relegated to a setup role, but that may not happen given Hanrahan's walk troubles last season. The closer situation inBostonis one to watch very closely in spring training, because if Bailey is healthy, he's the better option.
Matt Thornton, LHP, CWS:Thornton's 2012 season was about the same as his 2011 season, but he strikeouts for control, as he improved his walk rate by nearly a full point and dropped his strikeout rate by 1.8/9. He also added some ground balls though, which is important as ever in US Cellular. If Addison Reed struggles in the closer role,Thorntoncould get a look and he could perform admirably, but he wasn't given a shot last year when the White Sox were playing bullpen by committee, so closing aspirations should be held to a minimum for now.
Bryan Shaw, RHP, CLE: Shaw recorded 2 saves and 10 holds last season for the Diamondbacks, and pitched his way to a 3.49 ERA. Now inCleveland, he has to hope for an injury or trade to Chris Perez in order to become fantasy relevant in most leagues. His 6.22 K/9 and 3.64 BB/9 ratios will play a little better inClevelandthan they would inArizonaover the long term. For now, he's a holds guy at best.
Kelvin Herrera, RHP, KC: The 100 mph hurler had an incredible season last year forKansas City. Herrera's peripherals of an 8.22 K/9 and 2.24 BB/9 all led to a great ERA of 2.35. Furthermore, his BABIP was actually above league average (.313) which allows him a chance to thin those already miniscule numbers. He's the closer dark-horse inKansas Cityand at the very least is a lights-out holds source.
Koji Uehara, RHP, BOS: Uehara's move to the not so friendly confines ofTexaslast season was no match for his skill set. Uehara posted insane peripherals of 10+ K/9 and a BB/9 less than 1.0/9. Some regression in that BB/9 rate is expected, but not too much. He's incredibly steady and his rock solid skills are also sure to translate in his move toBoston. He's draftable in every format.
Kevin Jepsen, RHP, LAA: Jepsen had a very solid season last year forL.A.as he posted 18 holds and recorded a 3.02 ERA. His K/9 of 7.66 and BB/9 of 2.42 will lead to the same success in 2013 should those skills repeat themselves. He's a good bet for another 20 holds or so, and more if Ryan Madson is unable to make a successful transition coming off Tommy John Surgery.
Bruce Rondon, RHP, DET: Walk right up and let us introduce Bruce Rondon to you. No, literally, walk right up. Rondon's walk rates were absurd for the level he played at in 2011, as he recorded a 7.65 BB/9 in Single-A. Things were slightly better in 2012, as it was cut to the mid-3's range with (A) and (AA), but in a miniscule sample size at AAA, of 8 innings, he walked 7 batters. Yikes. Best to leave him alone until he proves something, although strangely enough he's starting off the season as the Tigers closer (on paper anyway).
Sergio Santos, RHP, TOR: After a trade from the White Sox to the Blue Jays,Santosfound himself in the closer role for a very quick portion of time thanks to a season ending injury. Now Casey Janssen is a year removed from excelling in that role and has a hammerlock on it.Santoswill provide holds and strikeouts, assuming health. Should Janssen go down with an injury, the job is probably his for the taking.
Aaron Crow, RHP, KC: To the not-so-keen observer, Crow's season last year looked worse than in 2011, given the half run ERA jump; however, Crow's peripherals were much better. Crow lowered his walk rate to 3.06 (down from 4.5 in 2011), lowered his strand rate (giving more credence to his ERA performance), all while maintaining his strikeout per inning ability. He's another dark-horse closer candidate in a very crowded and talented Royals bullpen.
David Phelps, RHP, NYY: Phelps was excellent last season in a hybrid role that included long-relief bullpen work and making short starts. He should be in the same role again this season, and he even has starter potential should Pineda have a relapse of his return from injury. Phelps is a great endgame purchase, especially in AL-Only leagues; he'll give you strikeouts, a solid ERA, respectable WHIP, and a handful of wins (4 or 5).
Pedro Strop, RHP, BAL: Strop benefited more than anyone in theBaltimorebullpen from the pixie dust that was sprinkled on their 2012 season. Strop's pitiful peripherals (7 K/9, 5 BB/9) are only aided by his massive ground ball rate of 64%. His 2.44 ERA outpitched his xERA (expected ERA) of 3.80 thanks to a very fortunate first half strand rate of 90% and a BABIP of 22%. Stay far away.
Joakim Soria, RHP,TEX: Soria isn't expected to return from shoulder surgery until late May, but when he does return, he's could become a valuable source of holds. Expecting him to return to his former self right away is a far-fetched idea, and he's really a name to pay attention to on the waiver wire, rather than picking him up on Draft Day.
Boone Logan, LHP, NYY:Loganis primarily a lefty specialist but he has recorded identical stats against righties and lefties (AVG wise) the last two seasons. He's a solid source of holds and even more so if Mariano Rivera's return to action doesn't go as well as the Yankees hope. Watch the walk rate carefully though, as he could kill your WHIP; (was 4.6 BB/9 last year). The further downside withLoganis that he will never get a chance to close, as he's just way too hittable (hasn't recorded a BABIP lower than 31%).
Octavio Dotel, RHP, DET: Dotel's incredible peripherals didn't perfectly align with his ERA last year thanks to his high BABIP (primarily in the first half when it was 36%). His strand rate was also an issue, and is a problematic issue at that. Dotel's strand rate has dropped each of the past 3 years. He still shreds RHB to smithereens, and because of that, he's a solid source of K's, Holds, and WHIP.
Darren Oliver, LHP, TOR: Amazingly, Oliver has not only avoided regression at the crisp age of 39, but he's getting better. His ERA is on a five year decline; can it continue? Even if it doesn't go down from 2.06 (which it shouldn't), his rock solid skills that are anchored by his 3.5 K/BB ratio aren't going away any time soon. He's a great endgame AL-Only selection in aTorontobullpen loaded with question marks other than at the closer position.
Sean Burnett, LHP, LAA: Burnett's transition from the NL to theALshould go smoothly as long as he's utilized properly. Burnett's AVG vs. LHB is as follows the last two seasons: .200, and .211. Against righties, he struggles. But his incredible peripherals, anchored by his 4.8 K/BB and 57% GB rate will make him a valuable LOOGY commodity in an Angels bullpen that has needed another lefty for a long time.
Joba Chamberlain, RHP, NYY: The once highly-touted pitching prospect, poised to be a starter, has settled in nicely amongst the Yankees relievers. Although his 4.35 ERA isn't representative of his 3.65 xERA last season, Chamberlain's skill set remains impeccable. His health however, eh, not so much, as he's pitched 50 total innings in the last two seasons.
Jessie Crain, RHP, CWS: Crain's ERA is on a four-year decline thanks to his five-year increasing strikeout rate and continuous decline of his BABIP. He has certainly settled into the not so friendly confines of U.S. Cellular, as his ERA over the past two seasons is an average of 2.56. He's a solid holds choice inAL-Only
Sean Doolittle, LHP, OAK: Doolittle has shown us one season of evidence that he can be a major league pitcher after his transition from first base. It was a magical season though. In 47 innings, Doolittle knocked out a 3.04 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 60 K's. A 5.5 K/BB ratio sparkles for miles, and his extreme fly-ball tendency is perfect forOakland. Draftable in the endgame in most formats. Perhaps he should consider changing his name to Sean Dooalot?
John Ely, RHP, HOU: If (AAA) success is a good stepping stone for major league success, than John Ely is sure to make a mark in this league. Ely put together a 2012 season with the Dodgers AAA affiliate that impressed renaissance Astros GM Jeff Luhnow, and for good reason. Ely had a 8.80 K/9 and 1.92 BB/9 in 162 innings last season, which led to a 3.20 ERA. If he can control his HR bugaboo in the major leagues, he's a sneaky target in the late part of the draft in deep AL-Only formats.
Daniel Bard, RHP, BOS: What in the world caused last season's complete and utter meltdown? A great pitcher throughout his entire young career and the starter role just completely tore him apart. After 4 years of a declining walk rate (3.0 in 2011) it spiked to 7.5/9 IP in the starter role. Furthermore, he had more walks than strikeouts! Only an injury can explain his catastrophic 2012 season. Stay away until he shows he's fixed himself.

But what about the excessive and exasperating fat which is making your body unshapely and unpleasant? When your body becomes embarrassment for you due to excessive fat? Doesn't it make your body unsightly? Do you want to get rid of this stubborn and obstinate fat? Obviously yes. Don't worry, Dubai cosmetic surgery is here offering you the newest and most effective fat removing procedure. It's the laser liposuction in Dubai. Laser liposuction is the most revolutionized way of eradicating excess fat.
What is laser liposuction?
In this procedure fat is first liquefied before its removal with the help of minute laser fiber placed underneath the skin. Very small cannula is then used to remove the liquefied fat. This process is less invasive. It doesn't result in any injury or trauma. It doesn't damage the surrounding tissues by just targeting the desired area. The procedure also tightens your skin, consequently procedure doesn't finish with vexing, loose and sagging skin as in other fat removal methods.
Why Laser liposuction in Dubai?
Our well qualified and experienced surgeons will perform the treatment with dedication and the results will be obvious and trustworthy. You will get the most effective treatment here. After getting through the treatment you will surely appreciate your new contoured and captivating body. It will ultimately boost up your confidence and self-assurance.

Firefighters reinstated after contentious Bennington meetingBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | June 19,2013BENNINGTON — After a contentious meeting in a packed firehouse on Tuesday night, the chiefs of the Bennington Rural Fire Department voted to restore all 15 members who had been suspended last week to active duty.
Chief Shawn Gardner said he made the decision to "try to move this department forward."
The firefighters had been suspended because they were believed to have been involved in lighting a camper on fire at a Mudder's Day event on May 12. The host of the event, Milo Campbell, was at the meeting and spoke strongly in favor of returning the firefighters to active duty.
Mudder's Day, which has taken place for six years, includes mud pits through which people drive as part of the day's contests and events.
The 15 people, most of whom were at Tuesday's meeting, were suspended because of a state investigation into the incident. The Bennington Rural Fire Department's bylaws call for a member to be "granted a leave of absence" if he or she is being investigated or charged with a crime related to the fire department.
About 100 people were at the meeting at the fire department's Willow Road firehouse. Many of them made angry comments about Gardner, accusing him of not standing behind his men.
There are two fire departments in Bennington, the Bennington Fire Department which is overseen by the town and the Bennington Rural Fire Department which is funded by taxes collected within the fire district and overseen by a prudential committee.
On Monday, Joseph T. Hayes, a member of the prudential committee and fire department, was arraigned in Bennington District Court on a felony count of embezzlement. Hayes, who pleaded innocent, was accused of being involved in a raffle which was supposed to benefit the department. However, police said some of the raffle's winners and the fire department itself were never given their winnings.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

We have stayed at the Carradale hotel a couple of times now, in the summer and now just back from a winter jaunt. Carradale is a stunning and unspoilt corner of the world, with huge clean beach, stunning views, golf course and harbour. I cant stress the huge chill out factor of this area and hotel. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, with great views. The food is excellent, the public rooms dripping with candles, local malts and open log fires. Theres also a village pub with pool table and massive log stove. You are made to feels so welcome, by the owners and the locals, and we will be back time and time again.

Fernando Gallegos-barreto Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on October 19, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, FERNANDO GALLEGOS-BARRETO, a 28-year-old citizen of Mexico, appeared for sentencing. GALLEGOS-BARRETO was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 45 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 2 years
GALLEGOS-BARRETO was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to illegal re-entry.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Racicot, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On April 11, 2011, a Montana Highway Patrol officer stopped a vehicle on Interstate 90 after observing that the right rear tire of the vehicle was bouncing. It appeared to the trooper that the tire was out of balance or about to come off. GALLEGOS-BARRETO was the driver and the only occupant of the vehicle. GALLEGOS-BARRETO presented an "International Driver's License" bearing the name Carlos Almanzia Arcigo. He informed the trooper that he did not have a Mexican driver's license but that he did have a Mexican Consulate Card. He did not have a passport. A criminal history check performed by the Montana Highway Patrol Dispatch showed the driver's true name to be FERNANDO GALLEGOS-BARRETO.
The trooper contacted an agent from Homeland Security Investigations who conducted immigration queries through electronic databases that revealed a possible match for GALLEGOS-BARRETO as having been previously deported. As a result, GALLEGOS-BARRETO was transported to Missoula County Detention Center and placed on an immigration detainer.
During an interview on April 12, 2011, GALLEGOS-BARRETO admitted that he was a citizen and national of Mexico and that he was present in the United States without immigration documents. He also admitted that he last entered the United States on July 1, 2002, near San Ysidro, California. He admitted entering illegally on foot without being inspected or admitted by an immigration officer and without obtaining permission from the United States Attorney General, his designee, or his successor, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He also admitted he had been twice removed from the United States to Mexico.
A fingerprint analysis of GALLEGOS-BARRETO revealed that he had been deported from the United States on August 14, 1998, following an arrest in Seattle for possession of cocaine and being an alien in possession of a firearm. He was also deported on May 23, 2003, following a 2001 conviction for possession of cocaine and methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
There was no evidence in GALLEGOS-BARRETO's immigration file that he had applied for or received permission to enter or reside in the United States from either the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security or the Attorney General.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that GALLEGOS-BARRETO will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, GALLEGOS-BARRETO does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, and the Montana Highway Patrol.

High-Speed Inkjet Printing: Round Up
A roundup of inkjet presses designed specifically for production printing.
By DPS Staff
The September/October issue of DPS studies inkjet technology, just in time for Print '09, which will surely be the place to experience the technology first hand. In this preview of the piece, we offer an overview of current inkjet technologies.
Digital production inkjet presses are not a new concept. Emerging technologies starting picking up speed at drupa 2008, which drew the spotlight on major digital players such as Hewlett-Packard (HP), Kodak, and Océ. A year after drupa, we see developments in action. Digital print equipment manufacturers, Océ, Kodak, InfoPrint, and Screen USA, who have been playing in the inkjet field for quite some time, will they need to move over for a new generation of mainstream inkjet offerings? HP enters the high-speed inkjet market full force. Kodak steps up its game with the newly branded PROSPER—previously referred to as the Stream Printhead, while Océ widens its Jetstream brand to handle nearly 30 inches.
The SolutionsMany leading digital production presses offer inkjet options. Some technologies are mature in the market, while others are emerging with a disruptive force.
Agfa :Dotrix TranscolorAgfa Graphics offers its :Dotrix Transcolor, a full color transactional, data printer web press, specifically designed for complex variable data printing in the transactional, TransPromotional, and direct mail market. The printer produces 30,000 A4 pages per hour—500 pages per minute (ppm). It also features a powerful IPDS controller that transforms complex workflows into fast moving data streams, which allows users to print full-color variable data in real time—even with complex document design. The :Dotrix Transcolor is currently available, contact the manufacturer for pricing details.
HP Inkjet Web PressThe HP Inkjet Web Press produces up to 400 feet per minute (fpm) with up to a 30-inch web width. The press promises to deliver high productivity at a competitive cost on a variety of media options. It delivers on a wide range of standard, uncoated offset media. HP Bonding Agent, a unique colorless liquid technology, is applied at precise locations where ink is to be printed—improving the optical density, reducing strike-through, and improving pigment adhesion to paper. The press is currently installed in several beta sites and is scheduled for availability this fall.
InfoPrint 5000The InfoPrint 5000 is specifically designed for transactional print providers, service bureaus, direct mailers, and book printers. Its built-in AFP color management architecture provides accurate, consistent, and device independent color rendering. A range of models feature print speeds ranging from 209.9 fpm to 419.8 fpm. The InfoPrint 5000 supports a maximum print width of 19.96 inches and features innovative piezo-electric inkjet technology. The press supports AFP, PostScript, or PDF for application flexibility. The InfoPrint 5000 is currently available, contact the manufacturer for pricing details.
Kodak Versamark D-, V-SeriesKodak offeres its Versamark line of inkjet web fed devices, categorized by the company's D- and V-Series. The D-Series reaches speeds of up to 1,000 fpm and resolution of 300x600 dpi. Kodak claims the systems are ideal for a full range of monochrome or color imprinting applications, such as barcoding, packaging, hybrid printing, and personalization. Their modularity allows integration into existing production environments to add value with flexibility.
The V series offers speeds of up to 750 fpm at 300x600 dpi. Based on a flexible and solid printing platform, the V-Series Printing Systems offer model configurations to handle variable data printing applications including transactional documents, direct mail, and other commercial applications.
Kodak PROSPER S10 Imprinting SystemThe Kodak PROSPER S10 Imprinting System features print resolutions of 600x600 dpi and speeds of up to 1,000 fpm. The solution features a 4.16-inch print width and can stitch up to four printheads for a total print width of 16.64 inches. The S10 offers a fully integrated system controlled from a single point of operation and can handle pigment black inks and future spot color inks. The system utilizes the Kodak Versamark CS410 Controller with Windows XP-based operator interface, including integrated data preparation software.
Océ JetStream SeriesThe Océ JetStream is a full-color inkjet digital printing system designed to maximize productivity in corporate and commercial print environments. Powered by Océ DigiDot drop on demand color inkjet technology, the JetStream systems offer CMYK full-process color output speeds close to 656 fpm with 600 dpi resolution. The Océ JetStream family consists of the 750, single engine system printing 328 fpm; 1100, single engine printing 492 fpm; 1500, twin system printing 328 fpm; 2200, twin system printing 492 fpm; and 3000, twin system printing 656 fpm. In addition, Océ recently introduced its newest inkjet production printing system, the JetStream 2800, capable of printing in widths of up to 29.5 inches. The company positions this device to accelerate the offset to digital transition and it is expected to be available by early 2010. Océ's current JetStream models range in base price from $1,900,000. Contact the manufacturer for details.
RISO ComColor SeriesIn time for Print '09, RISO introduced the anticipated ComColor series of full-color inkjet printers/multifunction devices. The cut sheet series produces speeds from 90 to 150 ppm. Five new models comprise the ComColor printer line, which employ RISO's FORCEJET imaging system and piezo drop on demand inkjet technology, designed for production environments. The ComColor 9050, 7050, 7010, 3050, and 3010 models are designed to appeal to a broad range of print volumes, applications, and budgets.
RISO HC5500Well known for its line of digital duplicators, RISO entered the digital production print space with its sheet-fed inkjet printer that delivers up to 120 full color ppm. Using its FORCEJET technology, the HC5500 offers prints as low as three cents per page and monthly volumes of up to 500,000.
Screen USA Truepress Jet520The Screen Truepress Jet 520 is a continuous-feed, single pass inkjet printer using piezo drop on demand technology. The multifaceted print engine prints on inkjet paper, standard paper, and uncoated paper up to 20.4 inches wide. The press incorporates a roll-fed paper transport system for faster turnarounds on high-volume projects. It prints up to 420 fpm with an image resolution of 720x720 dpi.
More on InkjetThe September/October issue of DPS is slated to offer a full-featured article on inkjet production press systems, including customer success stories, typical applications, and the technology's advantages and disadvantages over offset and electrophotographic print engines.

- Z50 Lanyard
Its my pleasure to write a review for Surefire. I have been in shooting since the middle 80's. And am familiar with many products. I realized that part of defense and home defense is not only a "handgun" which is a last resort weapon but the first line of defense other than a dog, is the high Lumen flashlight. I have a HID (High Definition Flashlight that puts out 1000 Lumens and a variety of combat lights from Surefire. I like Surefire's quality as I have tried their competitiors. Sure it is expensive but it is expensive for a reason. You are paying for quality and it works at times of crises. The Z50 is part of the defense category as I want all my lights to have a Z50 Lanyard attached in that in times of trouble most "motor skills" deteriorate and I want to make sure that light at 3AM stays firmly on my wrist/hands. So when it comes to cost, I then look at "quality", and if the "quality" is proven I purchase it without a second thought…because I love my family! And if you ask "how much it costs" - you can't afford it anyways, save your money like I do then buy the quality when you have saved enough! I also purchased the X400 which is outstanding! Surefore - I have no complaints on any of your products. Thank you for protecting my Family :-)

Dear Dr Lam,
What are benefits between getting suture vs. incisonal asian blepharoplasty? I already have double eyelids but i feel my eyes look quite puffy. I want a more opened eye look. Im also thinking of getting epicanthoplasty to open up the inner corner of my eye. What is your opinion on this procedure?

Alert but confused - page 2
I recently charted that a patient was alert, but confused and oriented x 1 to name only. I was told by one of the big wig nurse educators at our hospital that a pt. couldn't be ALERT and CONFUSED, and disoriented, she said that... Read More
- 1Dec 26, '09 by nyteshadeI agree with the OP. The bigwig is wrong! Maybe she needs to be educated as to what alert is???
- 3Dec 26, '09 by morteQuote from webmansxnot picking on you, but this sounds like someone trying to fix what aint broke...I think Alert in itself means watchful, promt, quick to percieve and act...in order to be alert one must be oriented as well. These days (according to some recent documentation books anyway) we are encouraged to write awake...not alert. The fact that the patient is responding and eyes are open etc does not mean they are alert. So it is a contradiction when you write alert and confused....
- 3Dec 26, '09 by systolyKinda makes you wonder about the educator's LOC. Should make for interesting charting 'though. "The confused, semi comatose patient ran down the hall".
My problem is: if my patient is not alert I have a heck of a time figuring out whether they are confused or oriented.
- 13Dec 26, '09 by elkpark"Alert" refers to level of consciousness (on a continuum from comatose to alert)and being (fully) responsive to environmental stimuli. Orientation refers to basic cognitive function -- whether one knows who one is, where one is, what the date/time is, and what situation one is in. You can certainly be alert (awake and responsive) but confused (about where you are, the date/time, even who you are).
- 0Dec 27, '09 by RedhairedNursealert |əˈlərt|
quick to notice any unusual and potentially dangerous or difficult circumstances; vigilant : an alert police officer discovered a truck full of explosives | schools need to be constantly alert to this problem. See note at vigilant .
• able to think clearly; intellectually active : she remained active and alert until well into her eighties.
the state of being watchful for possible danger : security forces were placed on alert.
• an announcement or signal warning of danger : a bomb alert | an alert sounded and all the fighters took off.
• a period of vigilance in response to such a warning : traffic was halted during the alert.
verb [ trans. ]
warn (someone) of a danger, threat, or problem, typically with the intention of having it avoided or dealt with : he alerted people to the dangers of smoking | police were alerted after three men drove away without paying.
on the alert vigilant and prepared : the security forces must be on the alert for an upsurge in violence.
alertly adverb
alertness noun
ORIGIN late 16th cent. (originally in military use): from French alerte, from Italian all' erta 'to the watchtower.'
- 0Dec 27, '09 by RedhairedNurseI agreed with the OP until I looked it up in the dictionary.
I tend to agree with the poster that suggest using the word awake instead of alert.
Because alert does have the meaning of being able to think clearly. And if one is
confused, they are not able to think clearly.
So the proper wording should be: awake, but confused and oriented to name only
- 4Dec 27, '09 by SuesquatchRNi wouldn't change a term used for medical charting to match the dictionary.
Everyone except the OP's nurse educator understands what it means and how it is used in a chart.
- 3Dec 27, '09 by elkparkLots of words or phrases have one set of meanings in general conversation, and another, specific, meaning as a medical term. "Alert" is a good example of this. "Alert" has a v. specific meaning in the context of neurological assessment, and, to me, is a much more helpful and specific term than "awake," which can cover a fairly wide range of possibilities. One can easily be awake but not alert (but if you're alert, you're definitely also awake. )
"Assess the level of consciousness using the AVPU scale; if fully awake and talking to you, they are A (alert). If they respond but appear confused, try to establish whether this is a new or a long-standing problem; causes of recent onset confusion include neurological pathology and hypoxia." (Bolding mine)
"Other common terms are used to describe assessment of LOC (e.g. alert, drowsy, confused, stuporous, comatose). It is important that the terms used are defined for the practitioners at the bedside and are used consistently. You want a change in terminology to represent a change in the patient, not the practitioners interpretation of the terminology. At change of shift, perform a neuro exam with the oncoming nurse to ensure clear communication of the patients previous status.
Examples of Definitions
o awake, looks about
o responds in a meaningful manner to verbal instructions or gestures"
"Neurological assessment is an essential component of early warning scores used to identify seriously ill ward patients. We investigated how two simple scales (ACDU Alert, Confused, Drowsy, Unresponsive; and AVPU Alert, responds to Voice, responds to Pain, Unresponsive) compared to each other and also to the more complicated Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Neurosurgical nurses recorded patients' conscious level with each of the three scales. Over 7 months, 1020 analysable measurements were collected. Both simple scales identified distinct GCS ranges, although some overlap occurred (p < 0.001). Median GCS scores associated with AVPU were 15, 13, 8 and 6 and for ACDU were 15, 13, 10 and 6. The median values of ACDU were more evenly distributed than AVPU and may therefore be better at identifying early deteriorations in conscious level when they occur in critically ill ward patients."

For Immediate Release
Date: 02/04/14
AUGUSTA - In an unprecedented move by majority lawmakers Monday night, the Democratic members of the Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee voted "Ought to Pass" on a $40 million budget proposal without a single Republican present.
Democrats had met with their Republican colleagues on the budget committee earlier in the evening, agreeing to take the matter up during Tuesday afternoon's work session. All Republican appropriators left the State House with that agreement. Democrats then assembled in the committee room and voted out the budget bill in a one-party vote.
Senate Chairwoman Dawn Hill (D-Cape Neddick) even said she was "disappointed" that Republicans did not join Democrats for the vote, though both parties had agreed to meet tomorrow.
"I am absolutely stunned by this brazen move by the Democrats," said Lead House Republican appropriator Rep. Kathy Chase (R-Wells), reached on her cell phone while driving home from Augusta. "I left the State House with the understanding that we would not vote on the measure until tomorrow afternoon."
It remains unclear why Democrats took the surprise vote.
"This is the kind of thing you see in Chicago, not Maine," said Senate Republican Leader Michael Thibodeau of Winterport. "I have never seen anything like this in my years in the Maine Legislature."
The after-dark surprise comes just days after former Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell urged lawmakers to take a more collaborative approach to governance.
"This is a slap in the face to the people of Maine," said House Republican Leader Ken Fredette of Newport. "They sent us here to do the people's business in a transparent and grown-up manner, not pull surprise votes and misrepresent the facts to the media."
The Democratic proposal entails closing a $40 million budget gap by raiding the state's rainy day fund, as well as the income tax relief fund, and using revenue surpluses. Bond rating agencies and the Governor's finance chief, Sawin Millett, have warned of a credit downgrade if the legislature raids the rainy day fund.

Long before shows like CSI misled the public about how long a DNA test takes and introduced the mythical world of "zoom and enhance," airplane black boxes were making people think you could minutely recreate an air disaster if you could just get the box. Not so. Turns out that quite a few cars sold in the U.S. have black boxes as well, with the same limitations: you can retrieve a certain set of data from them, but its quality and usefulness varies.
Toyota has been phasing black boxes into its cars since 2001, but stresses that the data collected is for "general safety research, not accident reconstruction." The data collected comes from several collection points like the acceleration and airbag modules. While it can help solve a case like the one of the zooming Prius in New York, where the woman was actually pressing the accelerator and not the brake, in other cases it won't prove effective, such as when the data being gathered is from the same corrupt source that's part of the problem.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has laid out some uniform regulations to cover black boxes from 2012. Just about every automaker selling cars here uses them, but they collect different data and an owner's access to that data differs across the country. Carmakers are generally in agreement with the new regs, but want to push the date back a year to fall in line with vehicle development timelines. The bigger issue, though, isn't what a black box is going to record, but what it will do with those recordings, who can get to them, and how easily.

Tap on a project to learn more...
We worked with the existing mobile engineering team to build the current generation of this comScore Top 50 Website's iOS, Android, and mobile web news apps that consistently serve over 50 million unique mobile visitors each month.
We also designed, developed, and maintained the mobile APIs that drive these apps. These APIs seamlessly handled half a million downloads of their new iOS 7 app in the first 36 hours of its release, nearly 5 million total downloads of their new Android app.
We delivered these APIs with more functionality and in less time than expected, and they continue to power their iOS, Android, and mobile web apps.
We also worked to expand reader- and editor-facing functionality for this client's Editorial CMS. The project involved blogger support, API development, and Editorial CMS development, including the development of data entry wizards, slideshow tools, social dash tools, crop tools, and UX scripts.
We also helped build a new Advertising CMS and corresponding APIs to reduce ad delivery time.
These tools are currently used by the entire editorial staff to create and deliver content to 79 million unique visitors every month.
This client also called upon The Hackerati to take over the management and development of their Big Data systems when they began transitioning their analytics team. We documented, updated and refactored these systems to align them with new performance and service-level expectations. We then trained their new team in the operation, development,and deployment of these systems.
The transitioned projects were two analytics systems—both realtime and batch-processed—collecting over 330 terabytes of new data every month and processing 10,000 events per second. We also worked on a machine learning/natural language processing system used to classify user-generated content, and a backend community system that handled over 300 million user comments.
We inherited, stabilized, documented, and extended the lifespan of CapitalWave's .NET/C# legacy codebase that powers a stock market simulator used to train traders. We added new UI/UX capabilities, and architected cloud-based delivery and analytics platform for training assessments.
We worked with this startup to design, develop, and deploy a location-responsive iOS app powered by the BA3 Altus Mapping Engine, using both vector and raster elements to create a 3D map of the Earth.
Leveraging both crowdsourced and academic data, we implemented a personalized risk map that increases in accuracy as a user adds more information about themselves. We also architected and maintained a backend to collect and analyze user reports.
This app is currently available for free in the App Store.

Nothing can stop Sarah Owens, a double major in dietetics and Spanish from seeing the world and taking advantage of study away trips sponsored by the dietetics department.
Nothing can stop Sarah Owens from seeing the world. Owens, a double major in dietetics and Spanish at Missouri State, has visited a total of seven countries and has taken advantage of two study away trips sponsored by the dietetics department.
"Getting cultural experience helps me to understand not only the people of the nations I've visited, but other people as well; even those from my own country," said Owens. "Traveling forces you to keep an open mind and you eventually learn to apply that to everything you do."
Owens was able to have two very different experiences in the countries of El Salvador and Greece.
In El Salvador, Owens and her classmates traveled to several rural elementary schools helping Convoy of Hope hand out supplies and teach children basic lessons about proper hygiene practices.
Another highlight of Owens trip to El Salvador was working with a nutritionist to measure childrens' heights, weights and arm circumferences to determine whether the children were getting enough to eat.
Educating and providing care to undernourished children was an eye-opening experience for Owens. "In the U.S., we don't see that type of problem very much, but in developing countries like El Salvador, it's a major health concern," said Owens. "It was a great experience and it taught us all so much about being in the community and being faced with such a huge problem."
Owens trip to Greece combined class knowledge with travel. Students toured the country while studying the influences of food in the Greek culture, history and culture shock.
While in Greece, Owens learned to be more accepting of food habits, practices and preferences in other countries. "I no longer immediately reject new foods or cultural ideas that I probably would have, if I had no traveling experience," she added.
After Owens graduates from the program and completes her internship program, she plans on getting her master's degree and working in a clinical setting or opening up her own practice. "I hope that I can help take dietitians out of the hospital and make them more accessible to the public," said Owens.
On average, Americans spend two and half hours of each day in the car, but many don't take the time to think about where the vehicle's fuel comes from.

The Problem
Chivas is a sophisticated, modern brand — but a modern brand with over two centuries of history. Their Art of Hosting campaign is sharply focused: Chivas makes the modern social gathering complete.
Chivas wanted an app as part of their campaign, a game that showcased the Art of Hosting.
Hosting is indeed a fine art; it's about creating an environment, a novel experience, and about facilitating a good time.
The Solution
Working with Havas, we took Chivas' overall campaign objectives and employed our faithful design approach to work out how to achieve them.
We could have proposed a game where little guys barrel back and forth being hosts … but making a game that actually made social gatherings go well seemed like a far better idea. We could make a tool for hosts, and bring the campaign to life. Social gatherings are affected by our personal digital technology, so we decided to embrace that technology to turn the attention of those at a party towards each other: a social game that made players look at each other rather than their devices.
Our mission: to reinvent the parlour game for the modern age. To make "real-time social games". To make you a better host.
How We Did It
Our starting point was to look at the most successful parlour games from history. We wanted to capture their essence. What made them good games? What was the central mechanic that encouraged interaction? We tested them out (a lot) and whittled the list down to around 20 games.
Our next step was to test these ideas against our central premise: the games had to make smart, entertaining and imaginative use of the iPhone and iPad hardware, such as the touch screen, camera, gyroscope, accelerometer and microphone.
Once we had a shortlist, we prototyped and tested them to see if they fit our manifesto. We ran several user testing sessions with the target audience, took those learnings and built on them to make an app we're really proud of. Scoring was an interesting challenge; we actually wanted scoring to be arbitrary, something to be set by the party host to demonstrate they had the qualities Chivas was interested in fostering.
The end result is MASHTUN – a suite of five parlour games for the modern host.
Inspired by Charades, this quick-fire acting game encourages wild team acting under pressure… with the words selected by the opposing team.
Players 'jam' by playing sections of a track in time.
Complete physical challenges while keeping a tower of blocks balanced.
A head to head relay race powered by … your voice.
Hide and seek for the modern age. One team hides their device. The other team uses their device to find it.
The app also seamlessly suggests the number of teams and players on each team, based on guests and phones or tablets devices in the room.

MEYER, CHRISTIAN ERICH HERMANN VON (1801-1869), German palaeontologist, was born at Frankfort-on-the-Main, on the 3rd of September 1801. In 1832 he issued a work entitled Palaeologica, and in course of time he published a series of memoirs on various fossil organic remains: mollusca, crustacea, fishes and higher vertebrata. His more elaborate researches were those on the Carboniferous amphibia, the Permian reptiles, the Triassic amphibia and reptiles, and the reptiles of the Lithographic slates; and the results were embodied in his great work Zur Fauna der Vorwelt (1845-1860), profusely illustrated with plates drawn on stone by the author. He was associated with W. Dunker and K. A. Zittel in the publication of the Palaeontographica, which began in 1851. He was awarded the Wollaston medal by the Geological Society of London in 1858. He died on the 2nd of April 1869.

My parents recently digitized all of there old photographs and I was really amazed at how beautiful all the images are! I couldn't really remember most of the pictures, and a lot of them are from before I was born, so I just browsed trough the hundreds of old memories. I was really fascinated by the photography and thought it is really strange that I have been trying to get a similar 'vintage' look on some of my blogposts. But nowadays it's photoshop that creates a filter for your pictures and all of these images are the 'real deal'.
I find them very inspiring and am very excited to share a few of my favorites with you! Don't forget to look at the very cute fashion choices ;)

10 Workout Mistakes You Don't Know You're Making
Lose more weight and lower your injury risk with these surprising pointers
By Linda Melone, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
Mistake 4: Pushing and pulling with your arms on the elliptical trainer
This puts more focus on your arms and minimizes the toning benefits of the leg work, says Irv Rubenstein, PhD, an exercise physiologist and founder of S.T.E.P.S., a fitness facility in Nashville, TN. "You'll also feel tired faster because arms can't work as hard as legs."
Fitness fix: Your arms can help you, but don't let them compensate for what your legs could do if you didn't have arm handles, says Dr. Rubenstein. For the best results, up the arm effort once your legs are working their hardest, he suggests.

Jim Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: BBY IMGN BUD HK MTG K (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:42 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Tuesday.
Piper Jaffray raised its price target on Best Buy
(BBY). Cramer suggested analysts have been waiting for a day to raise their targets and that "this stock goes higher." BBY closed up 1.8% at $44.06.
ImmunoGen (IMGN) has stopped testing its lung cancer drug, which disappointed Cramer. "This is a really important thing," he said. The stock "may not come right back." IMGN dropped 19% to $13.41.
Cramer called Anheuser-Busch Inbev (BUD) "a good stock." BUD was flat at $102.25.
Wells downgraded Halcon Resources (HK) to hold from buy. Cramer said that although it has been disappointing, the company has a good CEO and he doesn't "want to dump it." HK fell 5% to $5.11."If you like MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG), you should love Radian Group (RDN), which is better, and Genworth Financial (GNW), which is also terrific," Cramer said. MTG ended the day 2.6% higher at $8.32. Deutsche Bank downgraded Kellogg (K) to hold from buy. Cramer listened to the conference call and said "there really isn't a lot of growth there." He added that "firing your way into prosperity is not lasting for a long time." K was up nearly 1% at $63.09.

"It is disturbing that the Mayor did not deny any of the allegations made by four high-profile San Diegans," Kersey said in a statement. "Our immediate focus should be on the safety of our workers. No employee should feel intimidated or vulnerable on the job. We have to ensure that the City of San Diego sets the highest possible standards for professionalism in the workplace. Any and all claims must be immediately investigated by the City."
David Alvarez (D)
Disappointed in mayor
"Donna Frye showed real courage in bringing these allegations to light. I am also disappointed in Mayor Filner. It is clear to me that the Mayor's behavior must change. If it does not change, then he should resign."

Direct ChassisLink, which Maersk set up last year as neutral provider of chassis to truckers, said it will extend service to California and other southwestern U.S. points this fall in the final step in a national rollout.
Starting Oct. 4, DCLI will offer chassis to drayage companies at marine terminals, container yards and railroad ramps at Pacific Southwest locations in Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Diego, Oakland and Phoenix.
About 2,000 drayage companies are currently participating in the program in the Northeast, Southeast, Gulf, Pacific Northwest, Ohio Valley and Chicago/Midwest regions, DCLI said. The program began last year in the Northeast.
By The Numbers: Containerized Ocean Trade - Southern California Ports.
With the addition of the Pacific Southwest, more than 60,000 chassis in over 140 locations will be available to truckers or other users at an $11 daily rental rate.
DCLI pioneered what is fast becoming an industry-wide move by container ship lines out of chassis ownership. Cosco, CMA CGM, NYK Line, Orient Overseas Container Line, Atlantic Container Line and Evergreen Marine recently announced they are exiting the chassis business, beginning in smaller ports and inland locations.
Andy Chinigo, vice president of Direct ChassisLink, said the change has improved operating efficiency and reduced air pollution by reducing wasted miles by trucks returning chassis after each trip.
Under the model pioneered by DCLI, a drayage company with a valid interchange agreement can make multiple moves for multiple carriers on a single day's rental.
"As with any change, there are challenges to address. However, with each successive phase we have seen greater and more rapid acceptance of the program as the various stakeholders realized the benefits," Chinigo said.
