ABC News' Michael Falcone (@michaelpfalcone) reports:
PELLA, Iowa — Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who, unlike many of his rivals, has largely been a stranger in Iowa over the past few months came here on Wednesday to make a prediction.
President Obama, Romney said, "won't carry Iowa in November 2012. He won't carry Iowa because Iowans recognize that his presidency has failed."
Romney said he was confident in his own prospects in next year's caucuses here — "I think I'll win it if I'm the nominee."
"You'll see me plenty in Iowa," Romney told reporters after holding a roundtable discussion with business leaders at a manufacturing company in this central Iowa town. "I'd like to do darn well in those caucuses."
Though he has not set foot in the state since May, Romney noted he will be participating in Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, but he defended his decision not to compete in the Ames Straw Poll.
"I want to use our financial resources to participate in actual election contests that generate delegates," he said, adding: "I think the people of Iowa are far less concerned about the process of politics and far more concerned about the future of America."
Speaking to reporters in front of a soybean field on a crystal clear day here, Romney also lashed out at President Obama for his planned bus tour of several Midwestern states — including this one — next week.
"I think the American people would have preferred having him do the work that he was elected to do, which is to go to work to get people back to work," he said. "The last two and a half years have not been good years for Americans."
"I hope that on his bus tour he actually takes the time to get off the bus and sit down with business people," Romney said, "and ask them whether the policies he's put in place over the last two and a half years have helped or hurt enterprise and jobs in America."
If he were president, Romney added, "I sure as heck wouldn't be on a bus tour."
Romney offered a considerably more charitable assessment of a new rival for the Republican nomination — Texas Gov. Rick Perry — who plans to announce this weekend that he is jumping into the race and will make his way to three critical primary states, including Iowa.
"I'll get a full view, I'm sure, of all the successes of Governor Perry," Romney said. "He's a fine man and a fine governor and the record of Texas, I think, speaks for itself."
Romney who plans to drop by the Iowa State Fair on Thursday, observed that the last time he was there it was hot and humid in Iowa.
"The weather is markedly improved this cycle," Romney said.

National Guardsmen from across the state gearing up to head to the region
3,000 National Guardsmen from across the state are preparing for deployment to Iraq this week.
About 130 of those soldiers are from Alpha Company in New Roads.
Family and friends were with them today at the official deployment ceremony.
Their mission in Iraq will be to protect convoys as they start bringing american supplies out of the country.
It's the second tour of duty in Iraq for many of these soldiers.
Some say...they're already counting down the days until they return.

Creepie is "different." Found on the doorstep of the abandoned Dweezwold mansion, Creepie was taken in by the family of bugs who lived there and taught her their ways.
Growing up with bugs was the most natural thing in the world for Creepie, but her parents knew she had to learn to survive in the outside world. So they decided it was time to send Creepie to school...with oversized, clod-footed bipeds... the humans.
Creepie was surprised to learn that the world is infested with humans and even more shocked to find out she was one of them! Sure, she noticed she was different from the other bugs in the house, but she always assumed she'd molt one day and develop wings and antennae.
Creepie finds humans who have no colorful protective exoskeletons just as strange as they find her. But she's not looking for anyone's approval. She's not going to change or try to fit in just because other people think she's different. And, when things get rough, she's got the perfect protective shell- her loving family, dark humor and dry wit. At the same time, as Creepie spends more and more time with other people, she can't help caring- a little- what they think of her but she's unafraid to be her quirky self.
It's just as hard to keep the outside world away from Dweezwold mansion and keep her home life a secret, but Creepie has to. If anyone found out the truth about her, she'd be taken from her family and the house would be fumigated. Except for a few trusted friends, no one can ever find out Creepie's secret.

One to screw in the light bulb.
One to claim that they've actually screwed in 300 light bulbs.

And one to claim that they're screwing and unscrewing light bulbs for the Palestinians.
Here's a good knock knock joke, from youtube:
What's the difference between a male prostitute, your lover, and your boyfriend during sex?
The male prostitute says, "Are you done yet?" :mad:
Your lover says, "You're DONE already?" :cry:
Your boyfriend says, "Do you think we should repaint the ceiling?"
(NOTE: I heard this joke more than 20 years ago - LONG before I had ever heard of our Gery in Vancouver. But, in keeping with the theme, I've turned this into a joke that takes place in Canada. NOTHING else, other than wording differences, have been changed here. Indeed, it involves a piano, as I originally heard it.)
Many years ago, while traveling to Canada, I decided that I wanted to "wet my whistle" a little, and perhaps end up with a little nookie as well, so I decided to go to a gay bar. It was a Monday night, though, and there were only about 40 people in the place, though it looks like there can easily be 150 or more in here on a weekend night.
There was a guy talking to the bartender, and he seemed to be very distraught. I thought I'd eavesdrop, in case there was anything I thought I could offer to the conversation. I mean, there wasn't much else to do - the place didn't look the least bit "cruisy" at the time. Everybody was hanging out in couples or small groups, talking.
He was telling the bartender about his frustrations in getting his music "heard." Paraphrasing, I heard him say something like "I've been composing piano tunes for years and years, and I KNOW that I'm really good. Anybody who has ever heard me play has told me it's the most beautiful music they've ever heard. I've been told that I should become as famous as Chopin, Tchaikovsky or Bach , my music is THAT good. But I've been sending demos to record labels for years, titling my compositions, and I never hear anything from them again - or they tell me to take a hike."
"Damn egotist," I was thinking to myself, "I'll bet this guy's playing really sucks, and his friends who hear it are only patronizing him and trying to make him have a false sense of confidence."
The bartender said, "Well, it's not very busy in here on Mondays, not even busy enough to justify hiring a musician, but there's a piano over there past the dance floor, and you're welcome to bang on it a while if you feel like it. It'll have to be volunteer and not paid, though."
The customer thanked the bartender and said, "Sure, I might as well" and he walked over to the piano and sat down.
And he began to play.
I then saw one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my lifetime. The music just poured out of that piano.
The music...
He made some music that I didn't even think was possible on a piano. I cannot come up with any words to describe how sublime, how beautiful, how hypnotic his music was - and the beauty had me crying within the very first minute.
ALL conversations stopped. Even the drinking stopped; I could see a number of people transfixed, entirely frozen and motionless, mostly with their drinks on the tables and bar, but in a couple cases with the drinks held in the air but still frozen in place. Without exception, all faces were focused on the very same spot in the bar. (It even took some doing for me to break myself away, enough to ascertain what was going on.)
He played for about 15 minutes. When he stopped, there was NO APPLAUSE. The clientele were simply too dumbstruck and speechless to do anything, and hardly anybody had even moved yet. After about a full minute of silence (you could have heard a cricket in there), one cute guy, who looked like an Olympic gymnast in his hot tanktop, started to clap, and the whole place became a cacophony of deafening applause and cheering. All this from such a small crowd!
After the applause subsided, he walked back to the bartender and said "See? I do play beautiful music, don't I?"
"I still don't understand why I get nothing but flak from the record labels, if they even bother to contact me back at all. Again, I send them demos, and I put the TITLES on the songs, and that's all that ever happens."
"Yes, I agree completely with you," the bartender said. "By the way, that second-to-last thing that you played was beyond any possible description, it was so incredible. What was that one called?"
"Oh, that one," said the piano player, is called "I Love You So Fucking Much That I Could Shit."

There was a Blonde, a Brunette, and a Redhead standing on the beach. They had decided the previous evening whilst in the pub to try and swim the English channel. After some discussion, they decided the quickest way would be to do the breast stroke, so off they set.
One day later the Redhead reached the French coast. Having lost sight of the other two swimmers just off the English coast she decided that they couldn't be far behind so sat on the beach looking out to sea waiting for the other two.
After a cold night of waiting, the Brunette finally came into sight. "What took you so long?" inquired the Redhead.
"There were some strong currents out there! But I'm here now! Am I the last?" replied the Brunette.
"No. Blondie is still out there somewhere." They decided to wait.
Day after day the two swimmers sat on the beach until on the 5th day Blondie came into view. Once on dry land the Brunette asked the blonde "What took you so long?"
"What do you expect? You guy's cheated, replied the idignant blonde, "You used your hands!"
There were three girls in a boat in the middle of a lake; one was a redhead, one brunnette, and the other blonde. The boat was 100 meters from land. The three decided they would swim to land, but was not sure how far to swim.
Finally the redhead was tired of waiting so she jumped out and swam 25 meters and she got tired and drowned. After some more waiting, the brunnette got tired too and she jumped out of the boat and swam 50 meters and she was tired and drowned.
The blonde decided to wait some more, but got impatience and she jumped out of the boat and swam 75 meters, but she got tired and afraid of drowning, she turned around and swim back to the boat.
A priest was taking a shortcut through an alley one day and came upon a young boy who was masturbating. "My son, you shouldn't be doing that," said the priest. "You should be saving that for when you get married."
The embarrassed boy hung his head down low and simply said "Yes, Father."
About 10 years later the priest was in his study when a young man, in his early twenties came in.
"Yes, my son?" said the priest.
"Father, you may not remember me, but about 10 years ago you caught me masturbating in an alley, and I'll never forget the advice you gave then."
"And what was that, my son?"
"Well, you told me that what I was doing was wrong and I should be saving it for when I get married," said the young man.
"That sounds like something I probably would have said," said the priest. "Did you take my advice?"
"Yes I did, Father; but there's only one problem."
"What's that, my son?"
"Well, I have three 55 gallon drums full of the stuff in the back of my pickup truck. Now that I am getting married what am I supposed to do with it?"

Dear Abby:
I am a crack dealer in New Jersey who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of the HIV virus. My parents live in a suburb of Philadelphia and one of my sisters, who lives in Bensenville, is married to a transvestite.
My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my other two sisters who are prostitutes in Jersey City.
I have two brothers. One is currently serving a non-parole life sentence in Attica for murder of a teenage boy in 1994. The other brother is currently being held in the Wellington Remand Center on charges of neglecting his three children.
I have recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute who lives in the Bronx and, indeed, is still a part-time "working girl" in a brothel.
My problem is this: I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family and of course I want to be totally honest with her.
Should I tell her about my uncle who voted for Bush?
Worried About My Reputation
Ah...I'm necroposting again.
Considering the age of this thread, I'm surprised how many people in here still show up as active. Amazing!!! (And I can see, I think, at least two who are active other more recent or reinstated identities...certainly ONE with the Q in his name for sure.)
A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims."
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop."
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man."
"I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests."
"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a wall."

A nurse was giving a sponge bath to a comatose woman when she noticed a reaction on the machine from the patient when her genitals were washed. She quickly called the woman's husband and he rushed right over. She explained to the husband what happens when his wife's genitals were washed and suggested that maybe some action on his part will bring his wife out of a coma. He was a little surprised but since he loved his wife dearly, he would try anything. The nurse suggested a little oral sex and assured their total privacy. She closed the curtain and left the room.
A few minutes later the woman's machine alarm went off and the nurse rushed into the room to find the woman had flatlined and passed away.
The nurse turned to the husband and demanded to know what happened. "Nothing!! I just did what you said. I think she choked."

The First Ever Blonde GUY Joke...
An Irishman, a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.
They were eating lunch, and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."
The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time, I'm going to jump off, too."
The blonde opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."
The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.
The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.
The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"
The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas ! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch."

who is Andreus? and btw, all the Jokes are funny as heck
Andreus was a rather opinionated Greek guy who lived in the Boston area. His heart was in the right place, and he was steadfast and sincere in his beliefs, which he sometimes expressed very strongly here. It was very evident that he was a caring, and highly intelligent, person.
He died several years ago from AIDS, and he continued to post here as long as he could. Briefly his brother Mitri (who some people think wasn't "real" but I definitely think he was, because the styles were very different) was hanging out with us in here. Andreus' English was flawless...Mitri's English was not very good but he was still able to communicate his thoughts in a surprisingly intense manner.
Andreus is missed and was respected by the great majority of people who got to "know him" (to the degree that's possible on an Internet forum, at least), even those who vehemently disagreed with him.
The Heaviest Element Known to Science
The CSIRO in Australia has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element is Governmentium (Gv). It has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
[EDIT: I assume that is the number of people who sit in Parliament?]
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lefton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons or protons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction normally taking less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years. It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons. All of the money is consumed in the exchange, and no other byproducts are produced.
Just another of those days!
There I was, sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a huge, hairy biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink, and gulps it down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
"Come on, dude," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life, I say". "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting, and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen, and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took to get home. I found my wife with another man, and then my dog bit me."
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing!
But enough about me, how's your day going?"

A while ago a new supermarket opened in Chicago . It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh.
Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and there is the scent of freshly mowed hay.
In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions.
When you approach the egg case, you hear hens clucking and cackling, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.
The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread and cookies.
I don't buy my toilet paper there.

Deepak Patel had just finished his Masters Degree in tiddlywinks, and he felt so very liberated. "At last! No more studying, no more term papers, no more exams, no more Thesis! I think I'm going to see what this big United States is all about."
He filled his car with his meager belongings, and headed east from the University of California at Riverside. He had wanted to go to Las Vegas his entire lifetime (well, since he found out about it in Grade 2 back in Trivandrum, India), so he headed up Interstate 15 and spent a couple days there, somehow managing to lose $71,943.22! The 22 cents came from the hole that showed up in his pants pocket, because there aren't any gambling machines in Las Vegas to accommodate such a small amount of money. He continued up to Interstate 70, turning east there. Much later in the day he reached Denver. "Cool! A CAPITAL! I really love visiting capitals."
And the day after he left Denver, he had that thrill again, at Topeka. He was also so happy that he had a lot of spare time to play Naked Twister with the entire Phelps family. You know, after all, that "God's family puts the FUN in dysfunctional." (This IS NOT really a joke, I saw that exact message on a church in Cornelius, Oregon in 2006...)
But, considerably later in the trip, about four hours after passing through St. Louis, Missouri and approaching yet ANOTHER state capital, he suddenly realized "Oh, DARN...I forgot to take the food out of the refrigerator and the fruit bowl back in California. Oh well. I'm certainly not going back there for that. Some leftover palak paneer, five or six eggs, a few apples/bananas/oranges, and some yoghurt..."
And about an hour later, at that state capital, there was the arrival of Deepak, the somewhat weary Indian, apple-less. (Sorry, this isn't a very good joke...I just now made it up...)
I forgot all about this! The answer is OFTENTIMES.

A Scotsman moves to Canada and attends his first baseball game.
The first batter approaches the batters' box, takes a few swings and then hits a double. Everyone is on their feet screaming "Run"
The next batter hits a single. The Scotsman listens as the crowd again cheers "RUN RUN". The Scotsman is enjoying the game and begins screaming with the fans.
The fifth batter comes up and four balls go by. The Umpire calls: "Walk."
The batter starts his slow trot to first base. The Scot stands up and screams, "Run ye lazy bastard, RRUNN!"
The people around him begin laughing. Embarrassed, the Scot sits back down. A friendly fan notes the man's embarrassment, leans over and explains, "He can't run -- he's got four balls."
The Scot stands up and screams: "Walk with pride, Laddie!"
This woman, a virgin, is on her very first flight when the engine sputters and the plane starts to go down. In a panic the woman jumps up and screams, "OMG!

This tall, dark and georgous young man stands up and slowly walks up to her as he takes off his shirt. He grabs her tight in his arms, hands her his shirt and whispers in her ear, "Here, iron this."
"A guy is walking along the strip in Las Vegas and a knockout hooker catches his eye. He strikes up a conversation and eventually asks the hooker, 'How much?'
"The hooker replies, 'It starts at $500 for a hand-job.'
"The guy says, '$500 dollars! For a hand-job! No hand-job is worth that kind of money!'
"The hooker says, 'Do you see that Denny's on the corner?'
"'Do you see the Denny's about a block further down?'
"'And beyond that, do you see that third Denny's?'
"'Well,' says the hooker, smiling invitingly, 'I own those. And, I own them because I give a hand-job that's worth $500.'
"The guy says, 'What the hell? I'll give it a try.'
"They retire to a nearby motel. A short time later, the guy is sitting on the bed realizing that he just experienced the hand-job of a lifetime, worth every bit of $500.
"He is so amazed, he says, 'I suppose a blow-job is $1000?'
"The hooker replies, '$1,500.'
"'$1,500? No blow-job could be worth that.'
"The hooker replies, 'Step over here to the window, big boy.
Do you see that casino just across the street? I own that casino outright. And I own it because I give a blow-job that's worth every cent of $1,500.'
"The guy, basking in the afterglow of that terrific hand-job says, 'Sign me up.'
"Ten minutes later, he is sitting on the bed more amazed than before. He can't believe it, but he feels he truly got his money's worth. He decides to dip into his retirement saving for one glorious and unforgettable experience.
"He asks the hooker, 'How much for some pussy?'
"The hooker says, 'Come over here to the window. Do you see how this whole city of Las Vegas is laid out before us, all those beautiful lights, gambling palaces, and showplaces?'
"'Damn!' the guy says, in awe, 'You own the whole city?'
"'No,' the hooker replies, 'but I would if I had a pussy.'"

Summary: Stalemate is the recipient of the Richard Fenno Award, which was granted by the American Political Science Association's Legislative Studies Section in 2004.
Gridlock is not a modern legislative condition. Although the term is said to have entered the American political lexicon after the 1980 elections, Alexander Hamilton complained about it more than two hundred years ago. In many ways, stalemate seems endemic to American politics. Constitutional skeptics ...show moreeven suggest that the framers intentionally designed the Constitution to guarantee gridlock.
In Stalemate, Sarah Binder examines the causes and consequences of gridlock, focusing on the ability of Congress to broach and secure policy compromise on significant national issues. Reviewing more than fifty years of legislative history, Binder measures the frequency of deadlock during that time and offers concrete advice for policymakers interested in improving the institutional capacity of Congress.
Binder begins by revisiting the notion of ''framers' intent,'' investigating whether gridlock was the preferred outcome of those who designed the American system of separated powers. Her research suggests that frequent policy gridlock might instead be an unintended consequence of constitutional design.
Next, she explores the ways in which elections and institutions together shape the capacity of Congress and the president to make public law. She examines two facets of its institutional evolution: the emergence of the Senate as a coequal legislative partner of the House and the insertion of political parties into a legislative arena originally devoid of parties.
Finally, she offers a new empirical approach for testing accounts of policy stalemate during the decades since World War II. These measurements reveal patterns in legislative performance during the second half of the twentieth century, showing the frequency of policy deadlock and the legislative stages at which it has most often emerged in the postwar period.
Binder uses the new measure of stalemate to explain empirical patterns in the frequency of gridlock. The results weave together the effects of institutions and elections and place in perspective the impact of divided government on legislative performance.
The conclusion addresses the consequences of legislative stalemate, assessing whether and to what degree deadlock might affect electoral fortunes, political ambitions, and institutional reputations of legislators and presidents. The results suggest that recurring episodes of stalemate pose a dilemma for legislators and others who care about the institutional standing and capacity of Congress. Binder encourages scholars, political observers, and lawmakers to consider modest reforms that could have strong and salutary effects on the institutional standing and legitimacy of Congress and the president. ...show less

HoopsHype Larry Bird rumors
Bird was initially facing several charges, including battery and possession of marijuana -- but we've learned he struck a deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to toss 2 of the charges if he plead guilty to criminal recklessness. As part of the deal, Bird has agreed to participate in a sober-living program -- where he will be monitored by a sober mentor -- and must stay out of trouble for 12 months. If Bird violates the terms of the deal, he could face serious jail time. TMZ.com
Oakley has an interesting theory. He believes in order to globalize the league, ex-commissioner David Stern had to change the rules to make the NBA more inviting for European players. While the rule changes to increase scoring were effective, they made the league less physical. "When we played in the '80s, it wasn't OK [for European players to play in the NBA]," Oakley said. "They weren't coming over here. They were scared. The game was tough and they weren't tough. Back then it was 1 percent and now it's 40 percent and it's going to keep going up. The dollar is international now. I don't like 7-footers shooting threes, it's a disrespect to the game for me. Dirk [Nowitzki] is good, point blank. [Larry] Bird got away with it. A few guys can get away with it because they can flat-out shoot." Boston Globe
Having played his entire career with the Celtics, Bird would have liked to see Paul Pierce do the same. But, again, he isn't doubting Ainge's decision to move Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn last summer, kick-starting the Celtics' reconstruction in the process. "My thing is you would always like to see Paul finish up there, and maybe he will," Bird said. "But it's tough. These decisions today are more scrutinized than they ever were. But you just hate to see a guy spend his whole career there and win a championship and then see him have to leave. But Danny knows what he's doing. And maybe Paul can circle back around and finish up there." Boston Herald
"It's tough," Bird said. "The tax is brutal now. I know Boston's been in the tax a lot in the past, but now 90-something percent of the owners don't want to touch it. We like it here, because it makes it a level playing field. A lot of teams that are in the tax are trying to get under it and get out of it, and they give away players or picks. It's a different league now than it was in the past, but I like it because it gives us an opportunity to put together a better team. But there are always going to be a couple of teams that the tax doesn't mean anything to them." Boston Herald
Bird, who is currently not in Indianapolis, described the "last-minute" deal that manifested only when Philadelphia called the team with Turner on the table. When the 76ers could not get a first-round pick for Turner – a 25-year-old swingman who can play the point guard through the small forward positions – the team reached out around 2:30 p.m., 30 minutes before the conclusion of the NBA trade deadline. "What we try to do is go through the league two to three times early in the season. When I left, I told Kevin (Pritchard) to make one more run through the league and see what's there," Bird said, recalling his instructions given to the team's general manager. "(Pritchard) was talking to a couple teams about other things that are really nothing but then Philly called. "I guess they figured they weren't going to get a first-round (pick) for Evan and they wanted to move him and we were there and we took it. I had to think about it for a while but decided to do it (and) move on." USA Today Sports

Candace Buckner: Bird described the trade as an 11th hour deal, coming into place around 2:30 … 30 minutes before the trade deadline. Twitter @CandaceDBuckner

"We thank Danny for his eight-and-a-half seasons with us and we appreciate everything he did for us in his time here," said Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird. "We felt we needed to make this trade to strengthen the core unit and our bench. In Evan and Lavoy, we think we got two really good players that can help us and we look forward to what they can bring." NBA.com
Of course, somebodies like Paul aren't falling off trees -- or all teams would have one. Consider that George has rated first overall in Defensive Win Shares for two straight seasons while ranking in the top 10 in steals per game for three. Meanwhile, among those who play at least 30 minutes a game, he ranks second in opponent field goal percentage at the rim, barely behind Hibbert. "I don't know if I've ever seen anyone Paul's size defend like he does," says Bird, a man hardly prone to hyperbole. "It's unbelievable." ESPN.com
When asked who he would choose as teammates for a three-on-three game if he had to select one current player and one all-time great, Kevin Durant chose Dirk Nowitzki and Larry Bird. Durant then expressed admiration for Bird, the former Celtic great, saying he was one of his favorite players. "He does it all. Larry Bird, I like his trash talking, for one. He didn't back down from nothing. He was the toughest guy I've ever watched." Boston Globe
Then Steve Smith asks LeBron to name the NBA's Mount Rushmore, which is not easy. "I would say obviously, the easy three, that we all talk about in our league is Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and you got Magic Johnson. And I would say my fourth… this is so tough, the greatest players of all time that I would like to see on Mount Rushmore… this is not fair. You know how many great players there is? "Oscar Robertson." Then comes the question that will ignite hours of sports talk radio: When his career is over, will LeBron be up there? "Yes." Why? "Because I'm going to be one of the top four to ever play this game, for sure. And if they don't want me to have one of those top four spots they better find another spot on that (mountain)." NBCSports.com
James, who has previously talked about being one of the greats of all time, was responding to a question during the interview when asked to name his personal Mount Rushmore, the four greatest players of all time. James' first three selections which he called the "easy three," were Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. He deliberated before taking Oscar Robertson as his fourth choice. ESPN.com

Bynum, who USA Today reported has agreed to a $1 million deal for the rest of the season, will return to Indianapolis early next week but will not be ready to play for several weeks. He was not made available for comment Saturday by the Pacers or his agent. "I ain't worrying about next year and I haven't all year," Bird said, when asked responding to a question about whether the Bynum addition was for the long term. "We're in the now and we're going to do whatever we can to go as far as we possibly can. We know there's going to be some tough competition but if we get a chance to improve our team, we're going to try to do that." Indianapolis Star

Elections officials expect some confusion from voters as they learn how changes from last year's county and statewide reapportionment affect them.
Advance voting begins Monday at the Board of Elections office in Evans. All voters in the county should have received new voter information cards, listing their voting precinct and all of their districts for representation.

To beat the heat, Columbia County offers the lake, private and neighborhood pools and a few splash pads at county parks.
Wayne Canty hopes to add a water park.
"We don't have (anything like that) here," the Augusta resident said.
Columbia County hasn't housed a water park since 2003, when Krystal River Water Park closed after 15 years on Industrial Park Drive in Evans. The owner cited drastically increasing insurance costs as the reason for closing.
The Columbia County News-Times brought home 19 statewide journalism awards Saturday, including second place statewide for similar publications, from the Georgia Press Association's annual Better Newspapers Awards announced in Sandestin, Fla., during the five-state Southeastern Press Convention.
The second-place prize for General Excellence rates the newspaper among the top three for newspapers that print two or three times a week.
With the July 31 primary election now less than a month away, voters can head to the polls as early as Monday for advance voting.
The Columbia County Board of Elections office, at 500 Faircloth Drive, Building E, of the county's government center, is open for in-person voting from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday-Friday for the next three weeks, said Registration Coordinator Nancy Gay.
Voters will see many familiar names, some new ones and long lists of binding and nonbinding questions on each ballot.

Beach lovers need not make a trip to the coast this weekend to enjoy tropical tunes.
In fact, they can stay right at home.
Columbia County's Summer Beach Blast will bring a beach-themed concert to Evans Towne Center Park on Friday, where The Tams, The Swingin' Medallions and Bobby Hendrick's Drifters will perform at Lady Antebellum Pavilion.
No strangers to the county, The Swingin' Medallions have performed several times to audiences at the Columbia County Amphitheater.
Columbia County planning commissioners cited fear of crime in denying a rezoning that would bring apartments off Old Evans Road.
"I know apartments bring crime," Planning Commission Chairwoman Jean Garniewicz said. "It just happens."
A request to bring 50 apartment units next to the Kennametal facility was shot down 4-0 by planning commissioners. Board member Jim Cox abstained from the vote because of a professional relationship with the applicant.
The rezoning request was the county's first for apartments in 2012.
Area residents can find many ways to show their patriotism this Fourth of July.
The Independence Day events begin at noon with Grovetown's 25th annual July 4th barbecue.
From noon to about 3 p.m., participants can feast on free pulled pork barbecue from Neal's Bar-B-Que, hash, rice and refreshments. Hot dogs and chips will be available for children.
Takeout orders cost $5. Monetary donations will be accepted.
Guests can also listen to bluegrass music and sing karaoke.
A Georgia man who helped shape the United States of America also founded Columbia County.
William Few was one of two Georgia men to sign the U.S. Constitution.
As a Renaissance man of the Revolutionary War era, Few wore many hats – planter, lawyer, politician and advocate for American independence – and used his knowledge and experience to lobby for the formation of Columbia County.
"He is the father of Columbia County," said county historian Barbara Seaborn, author of As Long As the Rivers Run, a history of the county.

Q&A with Louise Suggs – February 9, 2010
"People forget how hard it was for the Founders to get the LPGA up and running. We created a whole new industry for women, created playing opportunities for the players today." Louise Suggs
What kind of car did you drive in 1950?
SUGGS: A '48 Olds convertible until I was given a Cadillac in 1952. I have been driving Cadillac's ever since.
What was your most memorable win?
SUGGS: The British Amateur because it was the culmination of everything I dreamed of achieving as an amateur player. [Suggs won the British Amateur in 1948 at Royal Lytham and St. Annes]
What kind of player were you?
SUGGS: I was a very consistent player and what I mean by consistent was I did not hit the ball off the fairway. Plus I was fairly long which a lot of people don't know. I played mainly a draw. I was a good putter, not sensational, and worked with my hands a lot in the game. It's the only thing holding on to the club.
What do you miss most about the Tour?
SUGGS: Back then I traveled by myself and stayed by myself. I felt I couldn't be too chummy with the people I played against, but I miss the kids, my friends.
Who brought out the best in your game?
SUGGS: Babe Zaaria - I would do anything I could to stop her from winning.
Who was the best player of your era?
SUGGS: People ask me that all the time. We had so many great players, many who never got the credit. Bety Rawls was a great scrambler, and everyone said Mikey Wright had the epitome of a golf swing.
What is the biggest difference in the game today?
SUGGS: The manicured golf courses, the technology of teaching, the golf ball. The ball is just too hot now. Back then we had to learn how to manufacture shots out of all types of lies. I am not sure a player today could hit out of a hole as well as we could. Plus the ball didn't fly straight like it does now. We had more shape to our shots then.
Where did you get your swing information?
SUGGS: Well, I played by feel. I copied Bobby Jones as much as I could. His swing was the epitome of a golf swing to me. Plus he was in my back yard so I could watch him all the time.
Topics: Suggs, Louise

Guns roared again for Battle of Fort Sanders' centennial
The scenery had changed, but the soldiers in blue and gray marched through Knoxville one more time.
The Nov. 16, 1963, re-enactment commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Civil War's Battle of Fort Sanders, when Confederate soldiers under Gen. James Longstreet tried and failed to recapture Knoxville from Union forces. The date was a little off — Longstreet attacked the fort the morning of Nov. 29 — but no one seemed to mind.
The real fort was long gone, destroyed by construction on the hill above the University of Tennessee campus, so re-enactors made do with the preserved earthworks at Fort Dickerson off Chapman Highway in South Knoxville. Union and Confederate troops paraded down Henley Street, some on foot and some on the backs of trucks.
About 500 re-enactors turned out in various stages of authenticity. The crowd of spectators, who'd paid $1 apiece, outnumbered them by about four to one.
The battle got off to an early start when some UT fraternity brothers launched their own assault on the fort. That didn't change the ending, though.
"Civil War battle refought," read the News-Sentinel's headline. "Yanks win again."

Bars & Cafes

In February, 2012, Smallwares opened its doors and a couple of months later Johanna established Barwares, to offer her patrons a casual haven to unwind in. The space is beautifully furnished in wood, with dim lighting covering it in a warm glow. Guests can sit on a stool at the bar, lounge on the cozy sofa or sit around a table with their group. Creative handcrafted cocktails, chilled beer and delicious champagne, perfectly complement the bar fare prepared by Johanna.
»Old Salt Marketplace
It is difficult to describe Old Salt Marketplace in just one word; the space is home to a restaurant, bar, deli and a butcher shop.

Opened in 2013, executive chef Tim Wastell delights patrons with a seasonal menu that highlights the best ingredients of the time. Guests can enjoy delicious concoctions at the bar, prepared by mixologist, Mike Stassek; what makes the cocktail at Old Market unique, is the use of homemade syrups. Purchase fresh cuts of pork, beef and chicken from the meat section, or take home a delicious sandwich or soup from the deli counter.

I was reading recently that several forms of squash were native to North and Central North America. And we know the native Americans were harvesting squash when the Europeans arrived.
Are there any native squash left in the Americas that are found in the wild? I have never in all my hiking seen a squash growing anywhere. Thanks, Charles |

I'm assuming you are "hiking" in the US and so you're certainly out of luck. The origins of squash as I understand it are in Mesoamerica. There may be close relatives of the cultivated squashes growing in the wild but you're going to have to take a trip south, way south to Mexico and beyond to see anything like that. Squash, like corn and beans, spread amongst the Native people's of the Americas prior to Europeans coming to the New World. Many of the places they were traditionally grown by the Native peoples ended up being very far from where the food originated from. The Iroquois, who had great agricultural traditions, lived primarily across NY State - my home state. And I am very far from Mexico in both distance and growing conditions indeed! I wrote the blurb attached some while ago on squash that might be of interest. Other New World foods featured on the same page too. Enjoy. FataMorgana |

Wild gourds occur in much of the Southwestern and Midwestern United States. I've seen Missouri Gourd (Cucurbita foetidissima) growing along highways in Texas. Squashes belong to the same genus. Ty |
Cucurbita pepo var. ovifera, including the Acorn, Scallop, Crookneck and Straightneck types are thought to have originated from vars. texana and/or ozarkana of Texas and the lower Mississippi Basin. |

Yes! Monthly challenges are back!
I don't think I've finger detangled regularly since I was a baby natural. Actually, I don't think finger detangling played a huge role in my regime ever. Well, I usually finger detangle while applying my pre-poo but that's about it. Once I hit the shower, I'm in comb/brush territory until I'm done styling. Hence this month's challenge--finger detangling exclusively for one month.
This challenge was inspired by a few things (1) comments on my post about the Denman brush (2) It's popularity among fine haired naturals (why I ignored this simple fact for so long puzzles me). I don't really know what to expect, so I'm going to be testing out a bunch of methods (wet & dry) and with different products to see what works out best!
Do you finger detangle regularly? Any tips? Tell me in the comments below!
