Subsidies with Responsibilities: Placing Stewardship and Disclosure Conditions on Government Payments to Large-Scale Commodity Crop Operations
This ELI report recommends that large-scale commodity crop operations that opt to receive any form of federal farm subsidy, including subsidized crop insurance, be assigned responsibility for: putting in place basic measures to reduce water pollution from fertilizer runoff; and disclosing information to the public about the quantity, type, and timing of fertilizers they apply. Runoff from the production of major commodity crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat can contribute significantly to downstream water pollution.

I've been wanting to join the forums for awhile, but wanted to be caught up on all previous shows first... anyways, I'm all caught up now, but have no idea how to get started/involved here... any thoughts or advice on how to jump in? Thanks! :D

Bon Iver – Beach Baby lyrics
When you're out,
Tell your lucky one to know that you'll leave.
But you don't lock when you're fleeing
I'd like not hear keys
Only hold till your coffee warms,
But don't hurry and speed.
One a time put a tongue in your ear in the beach
And you clutched
Kicking heels

Since many people are interested in hibiscus in Hawaii and around the world, let me introduce you to our native hibiscuses:
The name Aloalo is used for "hibiscus" in general. The ancient Hawaiians, though, could see differences and gave them different names. The term "native Hawaiian" in this posting will mean those plants found in the Hawaiian Islands before the Polynesian people came here. Hawaii has seven beautiful native Hawaiian hibiscuses. And there are numerous closely related genera, which I hope to write about in the future. Most of these are endemic, or found exclusively, in Hawaii and nowhere else. The following is a brief look at each of them. White hibiscus
One species of koki'o ke'oke'o (Hibiscus waimeae) is found on Kaua'i in somewhat drier forests around Waimea Canyon and nearby valleys. It is still fairly common, but there is a rare variety (H. waimeae subsp. hannerae) with much smaller flowers and larger leaves growing in a few remote northwestern valleys of Kaua'i. This subspecies is federally endangered. A second species of koki'o ke'oke'o (Hibiscus arnottianus) has three recognized subspecies. Two of them are found on O'ahu. H. arnottianus subsp. arnottianus is the most common and is found in both the Waianae & Koolau Mt. Ranges; H. arnottianus subsp. punaluuensis is found in a much smaller range in parts of the Koolau Mts. Hibiscus arnottianus subsp. immaculatus is a third recognized subspecies. It is extremely rare in the wild and found in a very small locations on Moloka'i. Fortunately they a easy to grow and a large number of the best clones are now available. It is unique in that the staminal column is pure white. These are striking plants in flower! It is federally endangered and nearly extinct in the wild.
Yellow hibiscus
The first variety of ma'o hau hele (subspecies brackenridgei) is found on Moloka'i, Lâna'i, Maui and Hawai'i. It grows as a shrub. Flowers can be large or small, depending where they are from. The second variety (subsp. mokuleianus) is now only found on O'ahu in a few locations in the Wai'anae Mountains; and is thought to be extinct on Kaua'i. This hibiscus grows to be more tree-like and is the largest of the three varieties. One sure way to tell this one apart from the other two varieties is if you try to pick a flower you will be poked by sharp, cactus-like prickles around the base of the flower. And they do sting too! Enjoy the flowers but best not to pick them. A third variety of ma'o hau hele (subsp. molokaiana) was thought to be extinct for many years. It was only found on Moloka'i until recently a small population was discovered in Mâkua Valley on O'ahu. This ma'o hau hele, in my opinion, is the most beautiful of the three varieties and certainly the most rare!
Another yellow-type hibiscus that grows in Hawaii, but is found elsewhere, is Hau (Hibiscus tiliaceus). These commonly seen hibiscuses are usually found around the coastal brackish and fresh waters of the islands and form dense covering. Unless you have the space, it is a species I would not recommend growing this one in the yard. Pink hibiscus
Red hibiscus
The first type of koki'o 'ula (Hibiscus kokio) is uncommon to rare and grows in dry to wet forests of Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, and Hawai'i. Depending on the variety, the flowers can be red, orange, or rarely yellow. The are listed as a federally endangered species. The second is koki'o 'ula (Hibiscus clayi) is very rare and is also listed as a federally endangered species. They only grow in a few dry forests in eastern Kaua'i. The flowers of this species are always red. In Hawaii it is now legal for people to grow them on their property with the identification tags. But no part of the plant can be sold without a proper permit or license. They all prefer some fertilizer and open sunny areas with good air flow. Hope this clears up any confusion about the native Hawaiian hibiscuses. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Aloha a hui hou |

A cruise ship that ran aground is seen off the west coast of Italy at Giglio island January 14, 2012.
Credits: (REUTERS/Remo Casilli)
Canadian officials are working overtime to determine the identities of Canadian citizens known to be aboard a cruise ship that ran aground near the Italian island of Giglio Friday night.
The 114,500-tonne Costa Concordia was carrying more than 4,000 people and media reports say that three people died in the accident and more than 70 are missing.
Claude Rochon, a spokeswoman with Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, told QMI Agency that "Canadian consular officials in Italy are working with local authorities to gather additional information concerning this incident and are in touch with Canadian citizens who were on the ship.
"Canadian consular officials are providing consular assistance as needed," Rochon added.
She said she could not disclose the identities of the Canadians since their privacy had to be protected.
Rochon said that anyone who believes they have family or friends on the ship should call Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada toll free from Canada or the U.S. at 1-800-387-3124.
The luxury liner, which is owned by Costa Cruises, was on a Mediterranean cruise from Rome with stops in Savona, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Cagliari and Palermo.
Passengers had just sat down to dinner, a couple of hours after leaving the port of Civitavecchia near Rome, when disaster struck.
"It was complete panic. People were behaving like animals. We had to wait too long in the lifeboats," 47-year-old Patrizia Perilli told Reuters news agency. "We thought we wouldn't make it. I saw the lighthouse but I knew I couldn't swim that far but lots of people threw themselves into the sea. I think they are some of the dead."
The vessel was left capsized on its side in water 15-20 metres deep, with decks partly submerged, a few hundred metres from the shore. A large gash was visible on its side.
The president of Costa Cruises, Gianni Onorato, told BBC News that the main task for the company was to assist passengers and crew, and help repatriate them.
He said it was difficult to determine what had happened, but that the ship had experienced a blackout after hitting "a big rock".
Officials told Reuters that rescue efforts were continuing on Saturday after a night-time operation involving helicopters, ships and lifeboats. The picturesque harbour of Porto Santo Stefano was lined with ambulances and green tents for the victims.
"We have about 40 men at work and we're expecting specialist diving teams to arrive to check all the interior spaces of the ship," said fire services spokesman Luca Cari. "We don't rule out the possibility that more people will be lost."
This is the second Costa ship that has been involved in a deadly accident.
Three crew members on the Costa Europa died after the ship crashed into a pier in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh during stormy weather last year.

St. Daniel Comments

St Daniel, dear saint, you and your companions were Egyptians who suffered severe bodily pain and died for love of fellow Christians. This shows us that love of God must be made manifest in our love of neighbour. Give to us the grace of being truly prayerful in our daily lives and active in our works of mercy. Christ our beloved Saviour gives us opportunities for this. May we through the intercession of Mother Mary, St. Joseph and the saints respond to Christ's command. Dear St Daniel, pray for all who are helpless and wracked in bed of pain, the elderly who are vulnerable and have no-one to look after them. Pray also for children who are born with severe disablement, poor speech, poor reasoning, poor learning capacity and who suffer terrible epileptic seizures. Give them a permanent cure, which I truly believe Christ will grant. Amen

I teach Confirmation classes at my church (St. Bernard in Bellflower, CA), and I am always looking for good information on the saints. This article is particularly useful as we are highlighting the martyrs and their deeply profound sacrifices for the faith.

The Monster Mash/Walking Dead Sing-Along
Here's a video to get you into the Halloween spirit. Thanks to some clever editing, check out this great video of the cast of The Walking Dead singing a zombie smashing rendition of "Monster Mash."
Here's a video to get you into the Halloween spirit. Thanks to some clever editing, check out this great video of the cast of The Walking Dead singing a zombie smashing rendition of "Monster Mash."
Walking Dead fans, this should make you happy!
A listener named Danny sent me a picture of his baby along with the following:
"Some of my friends say my baby look like Daryl Dixon. Since you like walking dead so much I'd figure i'd get your opinion on the matter."
What do you think? Is it possible that this tiny infant can actually resemble Daryl Dixon? Click below to see the comparison...
Maybe Merle Dixon wasn't that bad after all. Who cares if he was a murdering druggie racist redneck? You telling me those guys on "Duck Dynasty" have never dropped the "N" bomb like Merle did to T-Dog in season one? Yeah, right. So help his poor brother Derle/Daryl pour one out as we salute Michael Rooker and the magnificence of Merle.
What do you get when you combine one of America's favorite TV shows with the latest viral trend? You get Sheriff Rick Grimes of "The Walking Dead" doing the Harlem Shake...with a few of his friends.
Etsy, if you've never checked it out, is an awesome website. It's a place where artisans, designers, creative types and other assorted weirdos go to sell their original creations. Want a TShirt featuring fugitive L.A. cop Christopher Dorner? Etsy's got that. How about a pocket mirror with an image of Jesus gently cradling a velociraptor in his arms? Etsy's got you covered there too.
I'm not making any special plans for the Super Bowl but I'm already planning my snack menu and buying Zombie-themed party decorations of of Etsy for my "Walking Dead" Premiere party on February 10th. I'm thinking barbecued cocktail weenies made to look like bloody human toes and standees of the primary characters.
I'm not the only one treating the WD premiere like a major
"The Walking Dead" had its mid season finale this Sunday and if you're a big fan of the show, you might be disappointed to know that the show isn't coming back until February.
Well, if you need to buy a Christmas gift for the zombie freak in your life, may I recommend the Walking Dead 2013 Swimsuit Calendar.
The KLAQ Morning Show meetings feature three VERY interested watchers of AMC's "The Walking Dead"...but the line of the day was delivered at the end by the least interested of us all, Teresa!
You hate the cliffhangers! You LOVE the cliffhangers! You have to say, AMC's "The Walking Dead" is sure doing them right. If you're like me, you can't until February for the series to renew, you have to see all you can of What Comes Next. Here's a very quick sneak peek at the next episode: "The Suicide King".
So how do you make one of the best shows of all time "The Walking Dead" better? Easy add lightsabers to it. Just like they have done in this video in which Michonne uses her Jedi skills to kill some zombies.
In the zombie apocalypse, no weapon can be taken for granted.

GeoComm's David Sanchez presents at California NENA conference
St. Cloud, MN:
GeoComm's David Sanchez was selected to present at two different sessions during next week's California NENA conference. The California Chapter of National Emergency Number Association is hosting the 2010 Annual conference and tradeshow March 1-3 in San Diego, California. This conference is an educational and networking event for California public safety communication professionals to explore the most critical issues affecting the industry.
David's first presentation will focus on Why GIS Data is Important in NG9-1-1. This session will provide a description of the analog 9-1-1 system and compare it to new NG9-1-1 systems. It will then highlight the important GIS issues to consider when planning NG9-1-1. It will also explain the expanded role GIS data has in NG9-1-1 based on the spatial and geographical routing present in Next Generation 9-1-1.
Next, David will present on how Web GIS Provides Situational Awareness for Emergency Management. This presentation will overview how web based GIS mapping enables public safety officials to gather and share information that will help them manage and respond to emergency events. It will help attendees overcome the communication hurdle that is created by storing information in many different locations by explaining how a common operation picture offered by a web based GIS system is designed to manage events from a spatial perspective.
The 2010 California NENA conference is being held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Registration for the conference is still available. More information can be found at

This rose comes from a plant about 8 feet tall growing in the front yard. We have cool weather year-round because of close proximity to the ocean. When I bought the house 4 years ago, the previous owner had been in the same house since 1964--so I wonder if the rose is an old rose. The two pics are of two of the flowers. |

Could be Rosette Delizzy (Old garden Tea rose (not hybrid tea)). Can you send a full bush photo? That may help ID it. It also could be Dick Clark (looks like DC in the first shot). Rosette Delizzy has deep red/pink outer petals and pure yellow petals inside. Dick Clark has hot pink/light red outter petals that fade to yellow on the inside (each petal having a deep pink outer tip). It could also be double delight. Google those three and see if any match up to your bloom. |

Love cooking but eating is even better. Cookbooks are an obsession - I read them as others read novels or the bible lol. So is haunting the aisles of every supermarket within a 5 mile radius. Always need a bucket and bib when standing in front of see-through meat chillers (to catch the copious drool lol) Love to seek out new and exotic ingredients and think up new ways with the tried and true. Life is too short to eat bad food (my daily mantra) and I can resist anything, but temptation (my other daily mantra)
Chocolate, coffee, wine, rare beef, tuna sashimi, potatoes, pasta, mushrooms, chili and wasabi.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dewey!
Facts about Dewey
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Dewey's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Dewey is one fantastic cat. He loves people and is very affectionate. He has a great meow and likes to talk. This is one big boy who is very gentle and sweet.
Other Pets at Kitten Krazy, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dewey, a Medina Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Medina, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Medina.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Medina already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Medina breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Medina paves the way for another one to be saved.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The 10 people killed in a Northern California bus crash included a Los Angeles couple recently engaged in Paris.
Debra Loyd confirmed for The Associated Press on Friday the death of her grandson Michael Myvett and his fiancee, Mattison Haywood. The two were chaperones on the bus carrying high school students to Humboldt State University when it was hit by a FedEx tractor trailer Thursday night.
A spokeswoman for the Center for Autism & Related Disorders in Southern California says Myvett provided therapy for autistic children there for the past two years.
Spokeswoman Stacey Price says Myvett proposed to Haywood in Paris in December.

How can we get from mayrhofen to trieste or rijeka? We were hoping to drive but it would appear that no company will let us drop off in either of these places.
Is the best way to get between Linz and Cesky Krumlov, Cz. to take one of the shuttle buses? How reliable are they and what is the best line? I see from the internet there is at least one daily service between the two cities. Is Linz the closest major town in Austria to take a one to two day diversion to this medieval town? After Cesky Krumlov we will make our way to Vienna. Thanks for your help!
hey guys...
is it possible to buy tickets from Budapest Nygati railway station to Graz,Austria....?
We are coming to Salzburg and will continue on to Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, back up through Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary and finishing up in Vienna.
Does anyone know if there is a problem with driving a car in through any of these borders?
We've heard a lot of conflicting reports due to higher theft dangers, etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Homer (and Ed)
I've researched Hallstatt a bit, and I know I want to spend a day and night there. Has anybody stayed at a reasonably priced and friendly Gasthof there that isn't far from the lake or center of town? Also, if I'm only spending 24 hours there, what would you recommend doing?
How do I find restaurants or Heurige that feature authentic Austrian folk music and dancing--or even Zither music? If possible, I am particularly interested in places that aren't too "touristy"--possibly on the outskirts of the city in Heurige?
Are there places in Vienna that teach the waltz and the polka in just one or two lessons?
After dropping off my rental car at Sixt Car Rental at Kaerntner Bundesstrasse 17, 9586 Villach-Fuernitz, (about 7.2km from Villach Central Railway Station) after midnight, what is the best way to get back to the train station?
Is there a quaint Austrian village/town in Kärnten where people are friendly and there is a modest hotel? I'm looking to spend a day and night in such a village, but I will not have a car, so it must be reached by bus or train. I'd just like to take a walk or hike in the hills/mountains surrounding it and experience the quiet life, cuisine, wine, and gemütlichkeit of such a place. I will be spending a few days in Seeboden and Millstatt, but they are quite "touristy."
Best area of Vienna to spend 3 nights in.
Am looking for a central area of Vienna with ease of public transportation and within walking distance to restaurants, history and sights.
Coming beginning of July for 3 nights.
Thanks in advance,
Homer (and Ed)
We are planning our summer holiday, but as none of us have been to Austria earlier, we need some expert advice.
We are travelling with two 4-year olds, and are looking for a quiet place with good options for easy hiking and maybe a nearby place for swimming? Would like some shops and places to eat nearby,but we will rent a car, so we can do with a little distance. Would prefer self catering accommodation, but other affordable alternatives could be interesting.
Anyone who could point us in the right direction?
We are an old age couple and wish to visit Austria this April. We plan to reach Zurich and then travel to Austria by train. We intend to spend 5 to 6 days in Austria. Our main limitation is that we can not walk more than one Km or 2 two at best. Our main interests are
Alpine peaks with lot of snow,
Beautiful lakes and water falls
Gardens with lot of colourful flowers
Palaces if we have to walk short distances
Cathedrals with architectural marvels
We do not like museums and any thing related with History.
Our tentative itinerary is one day at Innsbruck, one day at Salzburg and three days at Vienna.
We invite experts to suggest a suitable plan for our travel and visits
Also suggest a budget accommodation near to train stations for places of suggested stay.

From New England to Santa Monica to the frigid Dolomites to the slightly less chilly Tuscany to New Hampshire to California to New England for a full 36 hours and now en route to Spain. Ole!
That's the rough outline of my November through January. Fleshing out the details just a touch further, after wrapping up off-season exploits at home in New Hampshire, I took a western swing through both Northern and Southern California to kick-start training for the 2014 season. That was November. From there I was onto a brief team-building get-together in the pristine northern Italian Dolomites, which segued directly into nearly three weeks of an official team training camp outside of Livorno in western Tuscany.
Next was a very quaint week back home in New England full of family, friends, Christmas parties, a token blizzard, and sadly a mere single glass of eggnog, before I set off again to Southern California. That launched the Cannondale Pro Cycling 2014 team presentation with a raucous rock-star-themed rollout for the exciting year to come.
Rather than setting off to Argentina for the Tour de San Luis as I've done in the previous two years, I continued my California Dream and trained diligently in the Santa Monica mountains before once again touching down in New England, where I've just finished up a rapid round of unpacking and repacking my life—also known as my suitcase—before setting off to my European HQ in northeastern Spain. Casa, dulce casa.
It's a hectic schedule to say the least, juggling my belongings in various pockets across the world. But now, as I entermy ninth professional season, it's actually old hat. I'm accustomed to going through customs. I'm used to going through the checklist of passport, cycling shoes, kit, glasses, and the like before hitting the road. It still provides me an entertaining kick knowing that this dream of so many, to pedal a bike, chasing races, camps, and good weather around the globe for a living, is my job.
When the calendar kicks over to a new year, I'm still filled with that youthful energy of pinning on my number and sprinting into my first race. I say it often and mean it every time: Every day is an adventure!
I have a really nice mix of races that I've done plenty of times and that provide a foundation to the season—namely the Belgian Classics, Tour of California, and likely the Tour de Suisse. They fit nicely alongside new ones for the 2014 calendar. I debut my 2014 at the Tour of Dubai, and follow it with the Tour of Taiwan. Both of those certainly highlight that every day is an adventure.
I, of course, have some unfinished business from last year that keeps me hungry and eager every day. July, the Tour de France, is my target, as simple as that.
And with that said, the wheels are rolling! Time to head to the airport and off to Europe. Aaaaaaaand go!

Football Pitch Consultants
My work as a football pitch consultant takes me throughout the UK, providing consultancy on the drainage and playing surface of existing football pitches and more often, project managing the whole construction of new football pitches so that the end result creates perfect playing conditions.
A good pitch has an even, slick and dense grass cover comprising a solid stand of ryegrass cut to a height of 30 to 50mm. Good drainage is vital for continual use in the winter and the season is long. In order to sustain a sound playing surface through to May a sound maintenance budget is a pre-requisite and an intensive renovation programme at this time is normally essential
"We employed Gordon to carry out a design and report on the change of use of one of our horse fields to a football pitch for a grant application to the Football Foundation. On our successful bid Gordon then acted as consultant agronomist for the period of the construction contract. It was largely Gordon's experience in design and contracts, and his good relationship with us and the construction contractors that has led to the project being a success."
Alex Rennie - Hadlow College
"We contacted Gordon for advice when we were preparing an application for a grant to construct two new football pitches on a piece of sloping ground close to a river bank. Gordon's expert advice combined with his extensive survey & feasibility study ensured that we were successful in our grant application. Gordon project managed the construction of the pitches & ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish."
Martin Thorpe - Westerham Junior Football Club
"Gordon Jaaback's help in analysis, design, selection of contractors and inspection of the site works was invaluable in the design and construction of Goudhurst football pitch. He brought a depth of experience to the project that I believe would have been hard to match."
Fred Courtney Bennett - Adams Johns Kennard Architects
Hadlow College, Kent
After completion of a feasibility study documents were prepared for the construction of a football pitch under the control of the Football Foundation. The contract was over-seen to completion and will be monitored through to establishment.
Westerham Town Council, Kent

"We have worked with Gordon on a number of projects including the £32 million Gateway Acadamy Thurrock and the £28 million St Mary's CE School, Cheshunt."
"These projects involved significant sports pitch formation and modelling together with associated land drainage. Gordon is expert in his knowledge and understanding of sports pitch construction and we would not hesitate in recommending his specialist services."
David Carmichael,Senior Partner
Lyster Grillet & Harding Architects
Canvey Island Junior Football Club
After completion of a feasibility study documents were prepared for a cambered pitch and the contract overseen through to completion.
"Gordon was employed to provide specialist pitch and drainage advice for the construction of a new grass football pitch in a challenging site. His knowledge and expertise has enabled the scheme to be successfully complete to a high standard and his on-going involvement has meant the maintenance regimes are being properly followed."
William Bidewell, Senior Partner
Barker Associates Property Consultants
Maccabi London Brady Recreational Trust, Barnet, Hertfordshire
Feasibility study was completed for the trust and drawings and tender documents were prepared. The contract was overseen through to establishment.
"Gordon has always given us expert advice and guidance ensuring that our grass pitches are of the best quality. He led our project to build two new grass pitches and an irrigation system with enthusiasm and the utmost care and attention. The quality of the pitches, drainage and irrigation system has proved to be of an exceptionally high quality."
Dan Levy, General Manager
London Maccabi Recreational Trust Sports Club
Yavneh College, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire
Design documents were prepared for the construction of two football pitches together with attenuating storage trenches.
Arnold Town Football Club, Nottingham
Following the failure in the performance of the stadium pitch a detailed investigation was carried out and a report prepared to assist in settling the dispute.

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and is delivered via a transrectal probe using simultaneous ultrasound imaging during anesthesia. The Sonablate technology uses high intensity ultrasound generated by powerful transducers which is then focused to raise the temperature at the focal point to almost 90 degrees. Any tissue at the focal point within the prostate is then destroyed through thermal coagulative necrosis.
Some Key Benefits of HIFU:
- Non Surgical
- Non Radiation
- Outpatient
- Most Precise
- Better Living
Tissue outside the focal point is unharmed. Using enhanced software the focal point is programmed to move so as to create a confluence of heated areas so that all the targeted tissue within the prostate is destroyed through this process of thermal coagulative necrosis. This minimally invasive treatment is performed as an outpatient and on average takes 1 to 4 hours depending upon the size of the prostate.

mike tysonThings to Ponder: Cheney Family Values vs. the NYT's Pro-Rape ValuesSunday, March 30, 2014 at 1:44 pm — admin
Why is it that the odious Mike Tyson is not called so by the NYTimes? In Nov. of last year the Times did a cover story in their Arts section on the convicted rapist Tyson, titling it "Baddest Man on the Planet, and His Vulnerable Side." The fact that he brutally raped an 18-year old Miss Black America contestant, and showed no remorse is not eveb mentioned on the front page of the Times story—written, astonishingly, to help Tyson promote his new book! Law & Order, Special Victims Unit Fucks ALL Women with a Mike Tyson rape subsidyThursday, February 7, 2013 at 12:58 am — admin
Let's see if we've got this right…Mike Tyson, convicted rapist and notorious misogynist, tonight was a "special guest star" on Law & Order, Special Victims Unit—a unit that exists to bring rapists to justice. How, we ask, is paying a convicted rapist big bucks of any help to women, and doesn't that fully demean rape victims, saying in essessence that rape is not so bad of a crime after all? The answers: no help at all and yes it demeans every women raped ever. Fuck YOU NBC and Dick Wolf, creator of the Law & Order. Mike Tyson should be flipping burgers not flipping off women. Meet the Meanies & Bigots in Media, From Roland Martin of CNN and Mike Moss of ESPN and more!Friday, February 17, 2012 at 5:03 pm — admin
Yes, it is true, CNN's black masher Roland Martin is suspended for telling his fans to put the beat on dudes who liked seeing David Beckham in his skivvies. Now, the thing is, violence against gays is a real thing and just last week Drudge posted a video of black men beating on a small black dude and yelling anti-gay stuff at him during the beat down. A devil faggot bigot, Stephen Hanks calls Sarah Palin a devil whore--VideoSunday, September 25, 2011 at 11:29 pm — admin
Mike Tyson suggests raping Sarah Palin with a donkey and ESPN host Mitch Moss roars with laughter. Next up: will ESPN bring on a guest to suggest putting a nice fat rope around Tyson's neck while he does a tree swing and get a tape of ESPN radio show host Mitch Moss roaring with laughter at the thought of a public lynching of Mike Tyson? Below is a video of a gay male calling Britol Palin a bitch and her mother a devil whore. The bigot freak misogynist is left to sit at the bar--he is not bounced out of there. Mike Moss still works at ESPN and Mike Tyson will be welcomed back. Mike Tyson dreams of seeing Michelle Obama get donkeyfuckedMonday, September 19, 2011 at 11:40 am — admin
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has plenty to say about what he thinks is appropriate treatment of black women by white men and recommended black women get donkeyfucked and ripped apart by white men. In an interview on the radio show "Gridlock" on KWWN, ESPN's Las Vegas affiliate, Tyson took a few shots at Michelle Obama boasting about interracial sex and the allegation that Michelle Obama had an affair with actor and comic Billy Crystal. |

3 Types Of Listening You Need To Master
By Deb Dutilh
Recently, my son and his long-time girlfriend, with whom I had a close relationship, broke up and although these things happen usually for the best, I couldn't help but feel saddened by the news. I could not imagine just letting her slip out of my life as if she had never been there and mattered, so I decided to give her a compassion call.
Well, according to some, you would have thought that this was absolutely the worst imaginable decision I could have ever made!
I heard things like this:
• "You shouldn't have called her. You should be taking your son's side." Oh really? Who says I anyone has to take sides at all? Does calling her mean a lack of allegiance to my son? Apparently so, to those judgmental blood-is-thicker-than-water types.
• "Well, the same thing happened to me and this is what I did." How does your spring boarding into your story help me right now?
• "Don't worry. Tomorrow's another day." Duh.
Wow, talk about conversation stoppers! Have you ever been guilty of reacting to people this way? If so, don't beat yourself up. Empathetic non-directive listening is a learned skill for most people. Take a vow to transform your listening skills.
Only one girlfriend got it. "Deb, I know how much you cared about her and how close you were to her. And of course, you want to be there for your son! It sounds like you were saddened and wanted to let her know you cared and wish her the best."
No judgment. No personal story. No advice. Get it? That's what compassion and empathetic listening sound like.
So how do we switch from our automated responses and provide a safety net for the other person to land in and be truly heard and understood? Mastering the "3 Types of Listening" is a major component to keeping your communication thriving and fluid.It takes a bit of practice and you'll get the hang of it quickly, especially once you see how much all your communication will be improved.
#1 Subjective Listening is often the real culprit in communication breakdown. Do you ever hear yourself responding as in the above examples? Instead of bring focused on what the other person is saying, are you wondering how to help them or thinking that sharing your personal experience will put things in perspective in a "misery loves company" style? Maybe you're formulating your perfect unsolicited advice to hand out and make everything right. Surely, and often with your best yet awkward intentions in mind, you direct the conversation, because this is what you think they want and need to hear. Wrong. You'll know when they become silent or tell you that you just don't understand. If so, forgive yourself and make a vow to change your listening habits NOW.
#2 Objective Listening is definitely a step in the right direction. Focused on the person who is speaking, your thoughts don't relate back to yourself, and while this level will dramatically improve communication, it still doesn't really get to the heart of the matter and validate with words what the other person is feeling deep down. It sounds like this:
"It's hard for you to see their relationship fall apart."

Replacement officials: The real story?
I've got to hand it to the Wall Street Journal for doing the digging on this (I started, but stopped after my head started spinning). The WSJ took a closer look at the work being done by the NFL's replacement officials compared to last season.
Their conclusion is that the replacement officials are not a total disaster, but they sure are slow in making decisions.
CLICK HERE to read the article.
After watching two weeks of play (and the entire pre-season), my contention is that watching replacement officials "work" is like watching a nurse perform surgery. They kind of know what they're doing, but not well enough to be trusted to complete the job day-in and day-out with a high degree of success.
What the WSJ fails to mention is the lack of control two officiating groups had in a pair of games in week 2. The Ravens, Eagles matchup and the Falcons, Broncos were slowed by dust-ups that were ultimately viewed as the officials not having control of the game.
While I don't doubt the replacement officials are doing their best to get things right, they are tarnish on the NFL badge. Roger Goodell preaches to players to "protect the badge" and uphold the integrity of the league. Now if he would only do the same thing.

Piano panic sucks, but for the collaborative pianist, it sucks even more. Because if a collaborative pianist can't perform, nobody can perform. Those singers, that pit orchestra, are absolutely depending on you to at least plunk something out. It's your community responsibility, as a musical theater accompanist in particular, not to panic. Much more than a soloist. If a soloist panicks, it's embarassing; but if you panick, it can bring down the show and thus set back progress in the greatest art form in human history, musical theater.
Ah, but who hasn't had piano panic? Whether at your 2nd grade recital or 2nd to last performance on Broadway, sooner or later, every pianist has this moment when they become profoundly self-conscious and aware of the fact that they're playing the piano and are potentially capable of screwing up royally. That's where all piano panic begins: when you stop being engrossed in the music, and, mentally, sort of, step back behind the bench and, shocked, see yourself playing. It's all quite Zen. Buddhist masters have taught for millenia that the root of suffering is in self-consciousness.
Ah, but the Buddhist masters had a solution to the problem, and so do musical theater pianists. Let me teach it to you, young grasshopper.

Optimed Research, located in Columbus, Ohio, is currently recruiting patients who suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. Dr. Donald McNeil, Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Allergy, and Asthma, is the Medical Director at Optimed. Along with Dr. Philip N. Rancitelli – who is Optimed's Sub-Investigator – and a team of clinical nurses, and coordinators, Optimed has more than 100 years of clinical experience.
As one of the most common lung diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes conditions such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD is a general term used to describe the long-term diseases that cause problems with breathing but is now the preferred name for any long-term illness that affects the airways and may get worse over time.
Optimed's Clinical Research Trial for patients who suffer from COPD is a specialized trial that allows qualified participants the opportunity to receive study-related medical care, assessments, and medication at no cost. Insurance is not necessary and participants are compensated for their time and travel.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published statistics that show that approximately 9.9 million Americans suffer from chronic bronchitis, and 4.3 million adults are stricken with emphysema.

Thomas Dale 18, Prince George 13
Running back Eric Finney led the way for Thomas Dale for the second straight week, scoring three touchdowns while rushing for 138 yards on 23 carries as Thomas Dale won their homecoming game 18-13.
The Royals held a 13-12 lead at the half. Finney found pay dirt on a one yard punch in to give the Knights the lead in the third. Justin Cooper carried the ball 17 times for 86 yards as the Knights put together a well-rounded game on the ground against one of the most improved defenses in the Central Region in 2013.
Quarterback Trevor Luke played an efficient game in his return from a concussion, completing five of five passes for 112 yards.
Defensively, sophomore linebacker Sam Starke led Dale with 11 tackles, and cornerback C.J. Reavis finished with nine tackles, two defensed passes and a crucial interception to take back the momentum with four minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Finney, a junior, has scored seven touchdowns in the team's last two games.
Thomas Dale will host Meadowbrook Friday, at 7 p.m in a battle of old Central District foes.
Prince George (3-2) 7 - 6 - 0 - 0 -- 13
Thomas Dale (3-2) 6 - 6 - 6 - 0 -- 18
Matoaca 41, Colonial Heights 12
The Warriors built a giant first half lead on the Colonials on the strength of four completions, all for touchdowns in the first half by quarterback Blake Bowen.
Three of those touchdowns were to wideout Trevion Armstrong who caught the three balls for 96 yards. The junior's other touchdown throw was a 51-yard strike to Khalil Coleman.
Matoaca's only score of the second half was a 14-yard run by Cameron Wheeler in the fourth quarter. Junior running back Aaron Monts added 82 yards rushing on 10 carries for the Warriors.
Colonial Heights was led by quarterback Isaiah Vesima, who threw for 115 yards and a touchdown and ran for 74 yards and another touchdown.
With the win on homecoming weekend, the Warriors rebounded from last week's loss to Meadowbrook and will face off with Petersburg on the road Friday, at 7 p.m.
Colonial Heights (0-5) 0 - 6 - 0 - 6 -- 12
Matoaca (2-3) 14 - 20 - 0 - 7 -- 41
Meadowbrook 42, Hopewell 12
The Monarchs offense exploded last Friday as they cruised to a victory over Hopewell at home, getting a particularly strong performance from their running attack led by junior Justin Miller who carried the ball 16 times for 209 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Shedrick McCall gained 124 yards on 13 carries. Sophomore quarterback Talik
Mann finished 14-20 passing for a career high 313 yards and three touchdowns.
Senior Khylil James caught two first half touchdown passes from Mann of 30 and 46 yards, and senior wide receiver/running back Terelle Whitaker hauled in a 78-yard touchdown reception and ran the ball in from three yards out as Meadowbrook led 28-12 at the half.
Miller scored his only touchdown in the third quarter on a 50-yard run, and defensive lineman Cameron Artis returned an interception 45 yards to punctuate a strong defensive half by the Monarchs in which Hopewell failed to score.
