PonchoLefty commented on the blog post Occupy Wall Street Condemns the NDAA
When economic trends create recessionary employment conditions one very important freedom has historically been protected to everyone negatively affected by those conditions. We once had the choice to declare bankruptcy. That freedom is being chiseled away in political maneuvers by corporate financial robber barons. Credit card debt,student loan debt, unpaid medical charges, are all becoming exempt or partially exempt from bankruptcy. However, we have all seen that those same CEO's in the investment banking office suites who lobbied for those restrictions have raided the public funds to not only avoid a company bankruptcy filing themselves, but also con our elected officials into "paying off" the debts. I hope the Occupy Movement can change public opinion against the concept of eternal debt servitude and re-energize lawmakers to put restrictions on risk investment behavior for the common good of all Americans. Make that (or something similar) the OWS movement's "singleness" of purpose and stick to it.

Non-violent activists have always been and will continue to be targeted. That actually helps your movement in swaying public opinion against the capitalist/corporate power establishment. Those battles are fought in the courts and hopefully can be used as "reasons" for people to demand an end to the stifling free speech and assembly. History is on the side of protesters here. You have to endure the police interference long enough for the public to witness the wrong they are inflicting upon freedom-loving citizens.

I agree with Knox. I was involved with the Vietnam War Protests in the early 70′s. There were a lot of distractions that became competing causes. They were very legitimate causes- Women's Equality, Student's Rights (minors), Housing Discrimination, and other issues. However, the success of the anti-war movement was primarily due to it's (to borrow a phrase from a 12-step tradition) "singleness of purpose". Maybe to those actively involved there is a "tedium" moment where other issues seem more pertinent. I would suggest studying the anti-war movement and observing it's tireless pursuit. Stay focused on the capitalist/corporate abomination of our nation's way of life.

PonchoLefty commented on the blog post Me And Gawd Are Watching Timmy Grow
TBogg's post graphically depicts a child appearing to hug Tim Tebow or another interpretation could be to perform oral sex on the Quarterback. Pasting "press" on it makes it all fit as a media "suck off" orgy I suppose. The subject has no value in progressive messaging. It is simply TBogg's "edgy" humor. But, alas I see his writing days just as doomed as he sees Tebow's career in the NFL. My argument is based on the FDL mission statement below where it is pretty clear that TBogg does not have the messaging ability to viably contribute. His pathetically low readership numbers shown from very few commenting responses is a convincing statement to his relative worth in the art of blogging. He is apparently as incompetent at writing as he claims Tebow is at quarterbacking.
TBogg fails in this specific post to fulfill any of the values FDL promotes as central to their purpose. So, TBogg can keep writing Tebow crap or make an honest stab at developing pertinent blog contributions. He might not have the ability to do it, so he has no choice except to post Tebow rants. I am sorry if you have discovered your limitation, but please keep loving those basset hounds. It might be your very best quality in life skills.
The FDL Association supports the writers and publishers of Firedoglake.com website and activities of its publisher, FDL Inc. to achieve the following:
Provide investigative reporting on matters of public interest;
Provide fiercely independent political and policy analysis from a progressive perspective;
Engage in political and policy advocacy relating to proposals, legislation, executive and judicial actions, and candidates for elected, executive and judicial offices;
Provide an internet/blog forum and platform to develop, train, and provide experience for emerging writers, media experts and others engaged in any of the above;
Encourage and provide the means for FDL members to become active participants in democracy and the advancement of progressive values. -

TBogg garners about 25 comments per blog post in his best days. Not a great impact in the scheme of ideas. By comparison, let's just look at one post by Duncan Hunter- Eschaton. All he does is write Afternoon Thread and will get over 400 comments.
Tebow ( with whom I have no socio-political commonality with ) won a Heisman in his Sophomore year in college. That is quite an athletic achievement. I hope he enjoys a successful football career for his effort.
It also my hope that FDL will find a more successful and less vindictive blog author who will have a readership worthy of the FDL web real estate space.
PonchoLefty commented on the blog post Me And Gawd Are Watching Timmy Grow
You don't get it and I suspect never will. So, let's just disagree and move on. I doubt Jane will let it go. You have I suspect moved your commentary into territory that is somewhere way afield of FDL progressive dialog.
I repeat. You don't get it and probably never will. Good luck in the future with your blog as it is pretty much doomed.

Letter to FDL
I have been an FDL member since the days of MediaWhoresOnline.
My hope for the Progressive movement was that we would begin to persuade the conventional wisdom of American political and social thought with rhetorical artistic fervor. What I mean is that we would prevail on our "smarts" and by way of rhetorical humor. Neo-conservative rhetoric is in my view abominably weak. We need new Carvilles and Krugmans and Jane Hamsher's.
That said- please consider the impact of TBogg's Tim Tebow rants. I see this as moving into rhetorical territory that is specifically vicious, graphically unforgiving, and totally out of bounds for what the rhetorical endeavor of FDL and the Progressive movement is about. You endorse it because it is a part of your sites "masthead".
Someone from FDL owes Mr. Tebow an apology fast and without delay. I think Jane should do it herself.
This site- of which I am a signed on member- but not yet contributing due to unemployment is a part of my rhetorical persona or identity. Please don't infect that identity with photos of children kneeling in front of NFL QB's for the purpose of Christian bashing- (I am a Unitarian Universalist agnostic) or for some ingenuous personal TBogg crusade. I am uncomfortable with the content, the tone, the insignificance of the topic to Progressive rhetoric, and most assuredly the out-of-bounds graphic the author unwisely chose.
If he is trying to get himself "fired" then let him have his wish.

We had the privilege to meet Krista Tevar of Sugar Cupcakery and her team this past summer when we asked if she'd be willing to chat with us about the very sweet life in a cupcake shop . . . I say that somewhat tongue-in-cheek because I know how hard Krista and her team work but I also know how much she loves serving quality, organic cupcakes to the people of her community. And if Krista seems a bit familiar, you may have seen her on Food Network's Cupcake Wars – she and her sister Karla came in second but not to worry, they're doing just fine!
Take a behind-the-scenes peek at Sugar Cupcakery in the short video below – oh, and for a list of some pretty fabulous cupcake recipes from around the web, head over to Smith Bites – you really don't want to miss these!

As Sábado Gigante heads past its 50th year, the show's fate depends on two things: ratings and Kreutzberger's health.
In the ratings, the toughest figure is the 18-to-34 demographic, which sits at just 22 percent of the show's audience, down from a 20-year high of 31 percent in 2005. "My obligation now is to reinvent myself, do something new and different," Kreutzberger says. "I'm twice your age. How can I speak with you?"
There's little detail about strategy. The show's executive producer, Antonio Arias, speaks vaguely of the need to have "a production team constantly taking the pulse of the viewing audience." He also mentions closed captioning for non-Spanish speakers.
A recent University of Florida study, however, bodes ill for the show. The study notes that bilingual Hispanics under 35 are drawn more to English-language programming than Spanish content. Even worse, those younger viewers have little interest in variety shows from their grandparents' generation.
"Young, bilingual Hispanic audiences are more into sitcoms and reality shows, and that's a problem for Univision," says FIU's Alvarado.
The biggest question on everyone's mind, however, concerns Kreutzberger himself. He is a diabetic with two bad knees. "I'm not going to retire," he says. "They are going to retire me."
Even if that happens, he thinks the show would go on without him. "This format has been useful and modern for 50 years," he says. "Why can't it go on for 60 years? The Tonight Show has had six different hosts, but it's still on the air today."
Before the show reaches 60, however, it has to celebrate 50.
Back at the golden-anniversary gala, celebrities such as Thalia, Paulina Rubio, and Gabriel Soto walk the red carpet.
But the night is stormy and slow. When the taping begins at 8 p.m., select audience members fill three metal bleachers outside the studios. After repeated takes of less-than-newsy interviews — the most common question was a tie between "What are you wearing?" and "How much fun is it to be here?" — a torrential downpour begins. Audience members and celebrities alike crowd under a small overhang. After a short interlude, a second shower sends many people home. Maybe two or three dozen audience members out of an initial 100 stick it out. When Kreutzberger's limo finally arrives, the hardy remaining few cheer like mad.
Then, just as Kreutzberger steps into the studio, the sky opens for a third and final time that night. Everyone rushes home. But Don Francisco makes his way to the set.
Sabado gigante no ha estado en el aire por 50 anos

Sean Conboy – Online Editor – Pittsburgh Magazine – Twitter: @SeanConPM
Alright, follow these folks on Twitter. Bookmark their sites. Enough with the introductions, lets get right down to it.
1. Let's get this topic out of the way: It's Marc-Andre Fleury versus Sergei Bobrovsky. In every pre-series article I've read, this is the match up that is getting the most attention. What do you make of Fleury, particularly as of late, and where does the goaltending advantage lie between these teams?
Leahy: As has been the case with the Penguins and Fleury for several years, it's not what happens between October and April. We all know the Penguins and Fleury will be solid during the regular season, but the last few springs have brought reason for concern. Against Fleury is his recent past of meltdowns. But in favor of Fleury, in my opinion, is the fact that he has to know, with a year left on his contract, he needs to flourish otherwise his future in Pittsburgh will be in doubt. He has a penchant for bad goals, we know that, and while those have sunk him in the past, being able to show a short memory.
Bobrovsky is a guy who answered a Vezina Trophy-winning season with another solid campaign. Two years in a row he helped backstop down a stretch and this Blue Jackets team will be inspired to put behind their past failures embrace this new era of Columbus hockey.
I'd give Columbus an edge in goaltending in this series, but won't be surprised if we see a different Fleury this time around.
Altenbaugh: Bobrovsky is 5-4-1 with a 3.05 GAA in his career versus the Penguins. Fleury is 6-1-1 with a 2.18 GAA and .931 save percentage. So, from a regular season perspective, it's obvious Fleury gets the edge. However, looking at their post-season records, Fleury has had three post-seasons where he finished with a save percentage over .900. The 2008 and 2009 cup runs, and before that, the 2002-03 season with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. For as good as Fleury is, he is historically bad in the playoffs, and his recent body of post-season work does nothing to dispel that notion.
If there is solace for the Penguins, it would be the fact Bobrovsky has actually been worse in the post-season over his career than Fleury. He's 0-2 in 7 playoff games, allowed 15 goals, has a 4.04 GAA, and an .848 save percentage. He has only 13 post-season appearances in his time in Europe as well, so his body of work is limited and below average.
Wilson: Marc-Andre Fleury has shown flashes of being terrific in recent weeks. Fleury earned the 1st star of the game against Colorado, Chicago, and Columbus recently, but the OT goal he let in against the Flyers is going to refresh a lot of people's bad memories from the past few playoff seasons. Bobrovsky is reigning Vezina Trophy winner and thus the Blue Jackets hold the goaltending edge. However, Bobrovsky has to do way more to get his team in the W column than Fleury does. Average Fleury beats very good Bobrovsky in this series. Bob will have to be lights out.
PSAMP: MAF, and the rest of the team, have been pretty mediocre since the Olympic break and basically wrapping up the division long ago with a stellar first half of the season. And that isn't so much a bad thing, letting the guys play through issues and injuries to other guys rather than cruising through March/April and being unprepared for struggles come playoffs. This is huge for MAF, as he's routinely been that guy who hasn't lost since February, then crumbles at the first hint of failure in the playoffs the past few years. Speaking directly, MAF is 3-0 against the Jackets this season, letting in one goal in each game. Bobrovsky has played just 23 minutes against the Pens in their regular season series opener. Shelled, and pulled. If we're gonna directly compare, MAF has all of the advantages.
Pensblog: We'll still take Fleury at the end of this one. While his playoff struggles have been documented, Bobrovsky hasn't won anything in the playoffs. In the playoffs you go with the experience, and that is all Fleury.
Richter: Flower has been shaky as of late. His numbers are so average since the Olympic break, 8-8 with a .906 Save Percentage. But to Fleury's credit, the Penguins have been a mess defensively since returning from the Olympics. I still think Fleury is the better goaltender of the two, but this is a put-up-or-shut-up series for Marc-Andre Fleury.
Rixner: I know this in unpopular, but I'm not buying the Bobrovsky hype. In his career he's beaten the Pens 5 out of 10 times, with a 3.04 GAA and a .902 save percentage. Bobrovsky is a talented and athletic goalie, but I probably think less of him than most who seem to think he has the Penguins number. The Pens only need Fleury to be average, they've showed that even since 2010 with Fleury's cumulative .880 playoff save percentage, they've still dragged him to a 14-16 record. All they need is MAF to be decent and the goal scoring will take care of the rest, especially against a team without an impressive defense.
Majeski: Tough to say. Bobrovsky hasn't been in the playoffs much and Fleury hasn't been good in them recently. Maybe a slight edge to Bob as he's been a little better in the regular season recently, what with that Vezina and all. I'm not worried about Fleury to start though; outside of Crosby, he may have been the Pens' MVP.
Colligan: I think Fleury has really improved the past two seasons. Last season — and I mean regular season — he became much more efficient with his movement in the crease. When things unraveled in the playoffs though, he lost his patience and tried attacking the puck instead of simply letting it come to him. This season he's really improved his ability to track long shots through traffic. Bobrovsky will obviously be the key to Columbus' playoff success. He'll need to steal the series. When he was with Philadelphia, the Penguins used to target shots at his feet and try to create juicy rebounds. I think he's addressed that weakness now with a few years under his belt.
Metzer: You can't talk Penguins and the Stanley Cup Playoffs with anyone without hearing the name Marc-Andre Fleury and that has a whole lot to do with his showings over the past three seasons. Fleury has collected just seven wins over the past three postseasons, which has caused many to forget his back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Final, including one in which he was instrumental in helping the Pens hoist the Cup. While Sergei Bobrovsky is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, he has had his moments of inconsistency this season and hasn't logged near the playoff miles that Fleury has. It will be an intriguing battle of two very good goaltenders, but until I see otherwise I am leaning towards Marc-Andre Fleury. The Penguins goaltender might have dipped a bit lately, but the team was incomplete in front of him, specifically the blue line. He will have a complete lineup in front of him Wednesday night and will (hopefully) look more like the guy who rolled up 39 wins and was near unbeatable on Consol Energy Center ice most of this season.
Conboy: This is a story of Pedigree vs. Perseverance. In 2010, Marc Andre Fleury was a no. 1 pick who had already fulfilled his assumed destiny of winning a Stanley Cup. Bobrovsky was toiling away in a minor outpost called Novokuznetsk in the minor leagues of Russian hockey after going undrafted. In the four years since then, the narrative of their respective careers has been defined by expectations. Everyone's worried about Fleury's pysche. But remember: Fleury has won 8 career playoff series. Bobrovsky has won zero. I'll take Fleury.
2. One thing Columbus doesn't get enough credit for is their physical approach to the game. Can the Penguins handle this or will their discipline issues come back to haunt them here?
Leahy: I don't think the Penguins have shown consistently enough that they can avoid allowing team's under their skin. If the Blue Jackets want an easy way to try and grab a few additional power plays, they'll annoy the hell out of the Penguins, specifically a guy like James Neal. Nick Foligno's done a pretty good job of being a thorn in the Penguins' side in the past.
Altenbaugh: I think the Penguins discipline issues haunt them more with teams who they have longer histories with, like the Flyers and Bruins, not necessarily physical play. They've done fairly well against other physical teams like the Blues or Kings, and managed to maintain composure. That said, the Blue Jackets were one of the heaviest teams in the league to start the season, the Penguins one of the lightest, so there will be a size mismatch that could work against the Penguins.
Wilson: If the Penguins demonstrate an inability to stay composed they have no championship potential. They might get by the Jackets but they stand little chance to make it through the Rangers or Flyer and certainly not Boston. Penguins showed some signs of restraint against Philadelphia this past weekend until very end of the game. They need to show restraint for the entire game. They need to remember that their fascination with "grit†lost them the 2012 series with Philadelphia and the 2013 series against Boston. Focus on skill.
PSAMP: This is maybe the part of the game that bothers me the most. You see how the Pens tried to counter Boston's physical play with their own wild brand of hitting last ECF, and how this team wasn't ready to hit and stay on offense at the same time. And that's with not wanting to mention that series at all, but it must be brought up. If these Pens can focus on the skill on-ice rather than matching Columbus' ability to throw their bodies around, they'll be fine. They've just never been one that I can trust when the game gets to this point. Let Tanner Glass hit someone, but the top six must focus on themselves first.
Pensblog: This is a great point. Columbus doesn't have the fire power the Penguins have, but they may have a better bottom six. The name Boone Jenner will echo through time, and in Jesse's head, if the Jackets pull off the unthinkable, and beat the Pens
(Low blow, guys!)
Richter: The Blue Jackets are very underrated when it comes to their physical approach. They tied the LA Kings for the most hits in the NHL this season. However, I think they're the perfect team for the Penguins to work out those discipline kinks against. The Pens should be able to play a hard-nosed game against the Blue Jackets without the emotional investment that we've seen against other physical teams like the Bruins and Flyers.
Rixner: For this series, I like the Penguins odds. Brandon Dubinsky will be in the middle of things, but Columbus doesn't has quite the "characters†that teams like Philly and Boston have that get under the Pens skin. Health is key- Pittsburgh's defense, in theory, they should be moving the puck a lot quicker and better, which would lead to less chances for guys like Boone Jenner, Matt Calvert and Artem Anisimov to forecheck and more time they'll have to be skating back towards their own net chasing the Penguins.
Majeski: I don't see that as an issue. It didn't seem to bother the Pens in their regular season meetings, and the Pens don't seem to be a team that goes away when things get a little rough. Plus, if Columbus is throwing a lot of hits, they don't have the puck much. Tough to score without that. The only potential for it to become an issue is if the Pens get distracted by it and try to out-tough Columbus as they often do versus Philly.
Colligan: Totally agree. I don't see it being an issue for the Penguins though. Columbus doesn't have enough experience to come into this series with a ton of swagger. But when these teams face off next year (and the following 4 years due to the new divisional playoffs), we might see a different story play out.
Metzer: That is the million dollar question isn't it? I think that they can keep their collective tempers in check, especially considering the fact that the Blue Jackets have not yet reached the point of making the Penguins' blood boil. They do have a few guys like Brandon Dubinsky, Jared Boll and Derek Mackenzie who can certainly find a way to do it over a seven game series though. Nick Foligno will not be in the lineup and he is someone that has long known how to get under the skin of Sidney Crosby. His not being there should help keep Crosby focused on playing between the whistles, let's hope that Dan Bylsma and his staff are looking for additional ways to do that for Evgeni Malkin and James Neal.
Conboy: If Sidney Crosby were a prudent captain, he'd sneak into CONSOL an hour early tonight and spike James Neal's Gatorade with Xanax. Neal is invaluable to the Penguins as a ruthless goal scorer, but he has become increasingly unhinged in recent months, and the coaching staff seems to be completely unable to control him. There's playing with an "edge" and then there's superfluous goonery. Gary Roberts, for all his WWF theatrics, seemed to truly get the other team off their game. If anything, Neal's behavior seems to motivate the other team. The Penguins simply don't seem believable in role of the heel. Especially Crosby.
3. What has to happen for the Blue Jackets for them to win this series?
Leahy: They get consistent secondary production. Guys like Ryan Johansen, Artem Anisimov and Cam Atkinson will get their points, but it's the Folignos, Mark Letestus and Boone Jenners who will be the key in the Blue Jackets outscoring the Penguins in a seven-game series.
Altenbaugh: Evgeni Malkin not returning for the first couple games of the series would be a huge boost to the Blue Jackets. They are in the middle of the pack with goals for and against and could get blown away by a healthy Penguins lineup. We've all see the Penguins with and without Malkin. They are a more dynamic team offensively with him, even when he's not playing to 100%. Even an unhealthy Malkin would provide more favorable matchups for the Penguins. As of now, if the Jackets can contain Crosby, they could win the series.
Wilson: The Blue Jackets need to outplay the Penguins bottom 6 forwards. Don't give Dan Bylsma the opportunity to take the Crosby line out of their shutdown role. If the Penguins bottom 6 forwards can tread water and take on tougher matchups, that opens up the door for Bylsma to give Crosby more favorable matchups. Try and implement Flyers blueprint and hope Penguins take the bait. Keep Jack Johnson away from Crosby and Malkin. Bobrovsky needs to channel his inner Hasek.
PSAMP: A miracle. It just isn't gonna happen. I just can't look at a team that skates Mark Letestu for a reliable portion of a game and get excited about their potential. This is speaking from experience, guys.
Pensblog: It is all on Bobrovsky. We've seen goalies do this before, but he'll literally have to make almost every save he can to keep the Jackets above water.
Richter: The Jackets don't have a ton of playoff experience, the Pens have tons of it but don't play like it often. I think it's imperative for Columbus to steal game one in Pittsburgh and get in the Penguin's head early on in the series if they have any chance to advance.
Rixner: Score early in Game 1. All the pressure will be cranked up on Fleury when those early goals go in, and it could tip the whole series. The Penguins absolutely kill teams when they can get out to a lead and play from in front. Pittsburgh is such a confidence driven team, and if Columbus wants to win, they need to shake that confidence. Put cracks in Fleury, create a goaltending controversy and they're already halfway towards winning.
Majeski: Goaltending, either by Bobrovsky getting ridiculously hot or by Fleury proving his previous playoff struggles were nothing. Hopefully, the injury bug doesn't come back to try and finish the Pens off. Short of those two possibilities, the Pens seemingly have an edge just about everywhere.
Colligan: I'm sure everyone will say it, but goaltending. This is a very feisty team. If they were 100% healthy, they'd have a chance of pulling the upset, but it'll be tough without some key contributors.
Metzer: The Blue Jackets were dominated by the Penguins this season and have been since their inception, winning just four times in the all-time series. None of that matters in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Blue Jackets need to stay out of the penalty box, get strong goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky and secondary scoring. They are capable of playing a shutdown game and we all know that can frustrate the Penguins. If they can get the things I mentioned, while managing to ruffle the Penguins' feathers a bit, they just might be able to pull off one of the biggest upsets in recent playoff history.
Conboy: A reboot of Sudden Death? An early Jeff Zatkoff appearance? Barring a calamity, I can't quite visualize a post-series NBC montage of Blue Jackets center Ryan Johansen shutting down Sidney Crosby. The Penguins' achillies heel is puck possession. The Blue Jackets don't have the horses in the middle to bully the game.
4. A lot has been made of how the Penguins closed the season out. Are you heading into the playoffs confident in this team's chances?
Leahy: I don't see the Penguins getting out of the East this season, but they certainly have the talent to make a return trip to the Conference Final. Getting guys like Kris Letang and Evgeni Malin will help, but the depth of this roster is a factor in why I don't believe they'll win the Stanley Cup this year.
Altenbaugh: I am much more confident after seeing that win against Colorado last week than I was before. It's hard to take much away from the last two games against the Sens and Flyers, but what I did take away was that Kris Letang,Paul Martin, and Beau Bennett are back, look good, and make this Penguins team much more dynamic from top to bottom.
Wilson: Penguins are a huge wild card in the playoffs this year. We haven't seen what a healthy Penguins roster can do this year. They might be the healthiest they have been all year entering round 1 of the playoffs. Penguins were a top 5 possession team during the 1st half of the year before the Paul Martin/Kris Letang injury bug hit. If they return to being a quality possession team the Penguins have a high ceiling. I am more confident right now than I have been for months. Health is key.
PSAMP: Expanding thoughts on my first answer, the weak end of the season can only help the motivation of this team starting with Round 1. Anything can be made about the injuries but blah blah to that. Yes, we'll get guys like Zhenya back. We've already seen the impacts of Bennett and Letang. But the "hey, we didn't just steamroll through March and April" mindset that must be apparent in that room has to take on a whole new meaning. Yes, you won the division by a lot. But this is a condensed timeframe where you have to be at your best, immediately. There's no feet-kicked-back-because-of-March like in years past. I expect a workmanlike performance. It's up to the guys on ice to make that happen.
Pensblog: One series at a time is how we'll play it. Because of the different playoff format, each series is going to be its own war. The Penguins have Crosby and Malkin ( hopefully), so they will always have a chance. But confidence is hard to have after what has transpired the last five playoffs.
Richter: Not as confident as I would like to be, but based off the past couple of seasons, that might be a good thing. For the Pens to struggle a little down the stretch, it could actually focus them.
Rixner: Maybe it's delusion, but I am confident in the Pens chances, for this round at least. Kris Letang looks great, Evgeni Malkin is back and the Penguins are about as healthy as they could hope to be. Sidney Crosby is far and away the best player in the league and having that guy in your corner counts for something. Obviously, it's not going to be a cake walk and this team isn't deep enough to win pretty every night, but "winning ugly†was how the Pens got past Detroit in 2009 and maybe getting back to those roots will help.
Majeski: This team hasn't had a ton to play for lately, so I think getting healthy was more important than their record. There's always a danger in having to flip a switch come playoffs, but I'm not too concerned. Columbus could be a tough out if they aren't careful, but I think they'll serve as a good warm-up.
Colligan: I've always viewed this season a transition year for the Pens. They went all-in at the deadline last season (as they should have) and came up short. This season, a lower cap put a crunch on their ability to fill out the checking lines. I think we'll see some significant changes in the offseason and that'll open the door for a more balanced lineup. If you buy into the transition year idea and acknowledge the injury situation, this season has been a huge success. Are the Penguins in the Top 5 of the NHL? Nope. Is the Eastern Conference wide open? Yep. With luck, matchups, and timing playing such a big role in the playoffs, the Penguins are definitely capable of making a run.
Metzer: You can make a case that the Penguins have only been a better than average team since the Olympic break, but you need to remember that they were very incomplete. Kris Letang, Paul Martin, Evgeni Malkin, James Neal and others all missed games. We also have to consider that they haven't truly played a meaningful game since December. Say what you want, but it is hard for a team to remain focused when they pretty much locked up their division months ago. The fact that they will be playing a meaningful game, they will be at nearly full health with a blue line that is intact for one of the few times this season speaks to the fact that we can't really judge them on what we saw over the past few weeks. Pascal Dupuis aside, this is as close to the lineup that Ray Shero hoped to ice back in October that we have seen and while it still has its holes, it should be good enough to win some playoff games.
Conboy: No. I'll give you six reasons why: Tanner Glass, Brian Gibbons, Craig Adams, Taylor Pyatt, Derek Engelland and Joe Vitale. Most (if not all) of these guys are going to play minutes. When the Penguins' bottom two lines are on the ice, they have the puck about 25% of the time. That's not good.
5. Who poses the biggest threat to the Penguins success on the Columbus roster?
Leahy: It'll come down to Bobrovsky. He can shut down a team by himself and steal those close 1-0, 2-1 games. The Penguins will have to rely heavily on their top guns and if they go cold, they're in trouble.
Altenbaugh: Ryan Johansen's coming out party as an NHL star could happen at any point. RJ Umberger may raise his game against the team he grew up watching. If Fleury falters early in the playoffs, it could be a quick exit and an ugly post-season followed by a long and ugly off-season.
Wilson: Brandon Dubinsky. He has the ability to grind the Penguins gears and has been doing so since his days with the New York Rangers. If he can get Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Neal to become unglued, Columbus can take advantage. Somebody has to get Penguins distracted and unfocused for the Blue Jackets to have a chance in this series. I think Brandon Dubinsky is the Blue Jackets best chance at accomplishing that.
PSAMP: Bobrovsky. Like I said, MAF played in three of the five Pens wins against Columbus this season, winning all three and allowing just a goal in each. Bobrovsky started the first game these two played, giving up three goals in 23 minutes and getting yanked. So the Pens had the unique distinction of playing the backup goalie in all five matchups. Does that 5-0 regular season record against Columbus mean anything for Pittsburgh, then? Sure, MAF's been stellar on that end, but what happens if the offense doesn't immediately pepper Bobrovsky's net? The Pens might have to get him yanked from Game 1 again. They can't let him get comfortable.
Pensblog: Is anyone not picking Ryan Johansen? He is a monster. The Penguins will spend a good time worrying about him, so you have to think he is their biggest threat at this point.
Richter: Sergei Bobrovsky. It's been tough over the past four years for the Penguins to beat a goalie who is in the zone. Bob won the Vezina Trophy just one season ago. He's a solid and underrated goalie. If anybody poses a major threat to the Pens on the Blue Jackets, it's Bob.
Rixner: Ryan Johansen. He's the best player in the league that no one talks about. Unreal skill in his hands, he's dangerous with the puck any time he touches it in the offensive zone. A lot of people attribute John Tavares' coming out party to the playoff series last year, and Johansen is every bit as talented and should have as good of a series as Tavares did last year against the Pens. Columbus has a balanced attack and not too many scary players, Johansen is definitely the standout.
Majeski: Bobrovsky, if he gets hot. Skater-wise, how can it be anyone other than Ryan Johansen? That kid's been a beast for them this year.
Colligan: Ryan Johansen. He has great instincts around the net and is very strong in his own end. At age 21, this guy already plays the game like Ryan Getzlaf and has the potential to take over an entire series.
Metzer: Sergei Bobrovsky is probably their most important player, but Brandon Dubinsky is a difference maker for them. While Ryan Johansen has exploded onto the scene and Boone Jenner has been great, it is Dubinsky who can tilt this series with his agitating, his scoring and ability to do a little bit of everything you need to win hockey games. He can win faceoffs, he is feisty and though he's a little guy, he can put this team on his back help take them to the next level.
Conboy: Jack Johnson, who apparently is a good friend of Sidney Crosby but seems to piss him off like nobody else in the NHL. This makes sense. No one can make you have a meldown like a buddy. Once in high school, one of my good pals tried to choke out another friend with the chord of a Playstation 2 controller. It was over a game of Madden. For $5. Stakes are higher here, obviously.
6. How many games does this go and who wins?
Leahy: Pens in six.
I completely see this series going the same way it did a year ago against the New York Islanders. There will be moments where we think the Penguins have it in control and others where it appears the series has shifted in the Blue Jackets' favor. In the end, it's going to be the production of Crosby, Malkin, Neal that will help the Penguins survive and advance.
Altenbaugh: Penguins in five.
Wilson: I don't believe that the severity of a 1st round exit is lost on the Penguins players. They know a loss to Columbus in round 1 will bring significant change to the organization. I think you'll see an aggressive and disciplined Penguins squad overwhelm Columbus. For this reason I pick Penguins in 5.
PSAMP: 5 games. I'm trying to decide when I think the Jackets will win one. If they steal one in Pittsburgh, the Pens will win both in Columbus. Game 3 should be huge if the Pens hold serve.
Pensblog: Pens in five. Jackets aren't ready yet.
Richter: Pens win in 5. I can see Bob stealing a game.
Rixner: Pens in 5. Pittsburgh has too much firepower for Columbus to slow down. The Pens should roll to a series win, as long as there is no major goaltending-induced speed bump.
Majeski: Pens in 5. Could take longer if the Pens are slow to get going and/or Fleury's regular season doesn't carry over.
Colligan: Pens sweep in 4, then they watch Philly/New York play 3 games in 4 nights in 2 cities to close out their series.
Metzer: Penguins in 5 —— not gonna be surprised if it goes 6 though.
Conboy: Penguins in 4.

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
U.S. Attorney Durkan Speaks To Computer Security Professionals
U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan addressed the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) this afternoon about cyber security and privacy issues. U.S. Attorney Durkan urged members of the organization to report suspicious network intrusion attempts and other cyber breaches to law enforcement. Pointing to the successful prosecution of a hacking ring that targeted more than 50 local businesses, U.S. Attorney Durkan described how federal investigators were able to see the pattern in disparate hacking events to ultimately apprehend the criminals and put the hacking ring out of business.
"We are relying on security professionals like you to alert us to suspicious activity," U.S. Attorney Durkan told the group. "To you it may seem like an isolated incident, but the investigators with the Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force are able to see if there is a pattern that allows them to disrupt and dismantle cyber crime rings."
U.S. Attorney Durkan, who Chairs a special DOJ Subcommittee on Cybercrime and Intellectual Property Enforcement, noted that cyber crime is a top priority for the FBI and is a priority in the Western District of Washington, where so many high tech companies are headquartered.

Steps To Success In Web Development
If you are planning to become a serious player in the webdesign world, you should now what to learn and discover. Here's a short list that gives you an overview of your needs.
1. Learn HTML
Before you start creating websites you should master HTML. This is the key element to even start publishing documents on the web. This sounds pretty obvious but there are some elements that you should understand like the label element which will add great usability to a form.
2. Master Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
I can't stress this enough. DO NOT USE TABLES FOR YOUR LAYOUT!
Is it clear? Don't, just don't. Why? Because they work against you instead of for you. You can have so much more control of your layout, design and colors if you use 100% CSS.
1. CSS is easy
2. CSS is fast to create
3. CSS is lightning fast when your website loads
4. CSS is easy to modify
So forget table layouts and start using stylesheets. You will really like the things you can accomplish once you master them.
3. Learn A Server Side Language
This is needed to make dynamic websites like forums. PHP and ASP are a great example. You will need to understand what you can do with these languages and start using them.
Without a server side language your websites are really hard to maintain and will give you a hard job in creating an efficient website structure.
4. Learn A Database Language
I recommend learning MySQL since this is an open source database and is installed on most hosting providers in combination with PHP.
A database is nothing else then some tables with data. You can select data with queries like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = 3;
Now everything is selected from table when the ID equals three. It's not hard to understand SQL, you just need to know how it works. PHPMyAdmin can help you a lot when you are creating your database.
So, start with step 1, and stick with CSS as long as you don't master it. CSS is huge, and you will love it once you know how it works.
For application development you can't do without a language like PHP and a database like MySQL.
Cheap Hosting to Learn Web Design
It's no secret: the internet is the place to be. And there is no shortage of web hosting companies out there — cheap hosting or otherwise — all vying for the scads of business flocking to the internet to grab their share of the pie. You might say it's a Buyer's Market. eMerchants of all kinds know that consumers are all bargain hunters and as our appetites grow fatter and our palates grow wiser, we demand more and more from the companies that serve us at less and less of a cost to us. The result? These days, web hosting companies can't afford not to be cheap hosting companies.
To compete, cheap hosting companies have to provide an assortment of tools and services to make them stand out above the rest, and the least of these is website design and building. If your cheap hosting company can't help you design and build, publish, and edit and maintain your website, then it's too cheap. This article will lay out some of the most common and useful features you could reasonably expect a good, cheap hosting company's website builder/editor to have.
In brief, a website builder (whatever fancy name the individual cheap hosting company slaps on top of it) is essentially a point-and-click program for designing and building websites. These programs have evolved over the years to the point now where they are so simple that even a retired great-grandparent could do it. (You thought we were going to say "a child", didn't you? — and apologies to the tech-savvy great-grandfolks out there.)
The software exists, and has existed for a while now, to empower anyone at all to design, build, and publish not just a website, but a website that works. One that's error-free, that'll be search engine-approved, that's attractive and easily navigable, that encourages traffic, and that doesn't require you to know a whit of HTML code.
The foundation of any website builder/editor are these are predesigned webpages, designed around specific themes or categories — sales, membership organizations, service provider, in-house, family scrapbook, self-promotional, etc. — that you are free to use as your own. Simply fill-in-the blanks with your own information and customize the look and feel to suit your tastes.
You see, a template is just a springboard for your website. Sure, you can use it as is; that's fine if it's a personal website for you and your friends, but don't expect an un-tweaked template to generate a lot of business. Templates are designed to be fully customizable, and that includes background colors, fonts, text sizes, graphics, backgrounds, borders, page layout, and more. You should exercise that facility to its fullest.
Cheap hosting companies' website builders/editors should include not only a wide variety of templates in a wide variety of themes/categories, but a wide variety as well of color sets, fonts, graphics/clip art/photo databases, backgrounds/borders, etc.
Templates may also exists for many of the most common and popular website tools that people use, like photo albums, event calendars, feedback forms, and user forums.
The cheap hosting company of today needs not only to be able to convert your vision into sensible HTML code, but it needs also to empower you to code Javascript and Flash-based content. These might not seem like valuable features at first glance, but without them, you might find yourself restricted to building websites that visitors find flat, uninteresting, and non-interactive.
There should also be a suitable Preview feature included so that you can see the progress of your website at each step along the way. You should be able to see exactly what your visitors will see once your cheap hosting company puts your site live.
Finally, crucial to any website that's not intended merely for personal use — which is most of the websites out there — is making a sale. And if there's one thing a cheap hosting company's website builder has got to have for you, it's a shopping cart.
Take a look at the shopping cart the cheap hosting companies you're considering offers. How customizable is it? Is it easy to use? Is it confusing? Does it support the major payment methods — from credit cards to PayPal — both online and off?
Armed with these tips, you'll be in a better position to make the right decision when choosing your cheap web hosting company
Choosing An Effective Website Colour Combination
An aesthetically pleasing colour scheme can make or break your website. After all, in advertising, colour accounts for 60% of advertisement's acceptance or rejection. Therefore, colour plays a pivotal role in determining whether or not a potential customer will choose to conduct business with your firm. A web designer needs to ensure that all of your website's colours work in harmony, while keeping the client's identity consistent with other marketing efforts.
Quick Rules of Thumb
•Stick to 3 to 5 colours when planning a website
•When in doubt, use white for the background colour, and black for the text colour
Using Your Company's Logo Colours
If your company already has a logo designed by a professional – great! This is the best starting point for choosing your website's colour combination. You may choose to use the exact colours found in your logo, or even add some complimentary colours. But, it is important not to stray too far from your logo's colour scheme in order to keep your company's identity consistent.
Colour Defines Mood
The colours of your website are important because they can elicit different emotions from your visitors. Colours can make us happy, excited, angry or sad. Below is a list of colours along with the corresponding moods which they evoke:
Warm Colors
Red: aggressiveness, passion, strength, vitality Pink: femininity, innocence, softness, health Orange: fun, cheeriness, warm exuberance Yellow: positive thinking, sunshine, cowardice
Cool Colors
Green: tranquility, health, freshness Blue: authority, dignity, security, faithfulness
Purple: sophistication, spirituality, costliness, royalty, mystery
Neutral Colors
Brown: utility, earthiness, woodiness, subtle richness White: purity, truthfulness, being contemporary and refined Gray: somberness, authority, practicality, corporate mentality Black: seriousness, distinctiveness, boldness, being classic
Choosing a Color Scheme
Once you understand the colours and their connotations, the next step is to choose a colour scheme for your website. Below is list of different types of colour combinations:
Monochromatic colour combinations use a single color. Variations in lightness of the selected colour can be used to create the sense of different colours. Monochromatic colors go well together, producing a soothing effect, and are very easy on the eyes. The drawback however, is that, it can be difficult to highlight the most important elements on your website.
Analogous color schemes use colours that are related, but not the identical, to create visually attractive combinations. Choosing this type of colour scheme is accomplished by picking colours that are close to each other on the colour wheel. For example, a selection of blues and purples, or reds and oranges would make a good analogous combination. One colour must be picked as the dominant colour while the others are used as accents.
Complementary (or contrasting) color schemes are comprised of 2 colours that are opposite each other on the color wheel. This combination is most appealing when a warm and a cool colour are used. For example, red with green or blue work well as contrasting colours. Using one colour for your background, and its complementary color to highlight key elements will give you colour dominance and colour contrast. One word of caution: it is difficult for the human eye to focus on contrasting colours at the same time. Therefore, it is best to avoid using strong contrasts for background and text colours.

Kidney Center: Leading-Edge Expertise and Care
An estimated 20 million to 40 million Americans have some form of chronic kidney disease.
Patients with chronic kidney disease due to causes such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension or polycystic kidney disease benefit from the comprehensive, convenient care at UVA's Kidney Center.
UVA Nephrologists: Experience and Expertise
Three UVA nephrologists (kidney specialists) – Mark Okusa, MD, W. Kline Bolton, MD and Mitchell Rosner, MD – have been chosen as among the Best Doctors in America®.
UVA nephrologists are also national leaders in setting guidelines for treating kidney disease. Bolton chaired a national committee that set guidelines on the appropriate preparation for renal replacement, while Okusa chairs an advisory committee on acute kidney injury for the American Society of Nephrology.
"We have some of the leading experts in the country, and we cover a broad spectrum of disease," says Okusa.
Complete Services
At UVA, we provide care for all stages of kidney disease. We work to prevent the progression of the disease in patients. We also provide dialysis services and transplantation if needed.
UVA's doctors also work closely with other specialists to treat or prevent complications from kidney disease. For instance, Rosner says, polycystic kidney disease can affect the liver, heart and gastrointestinal tract. UVA has specialists that can treat these complications.
Convenient Treatment
All Kidney Center services – doctors, social workers, ultrasound, clinics and clinical trials – are located on the same floor of the West Complex at the UVA.
"We've centralized care so that patients don't have to go so many times to so many different places," Bolton says.
Satellite locations also make it easier to get treatment. We operate a kidney clinic and dialysis center at Augusta Medical Center as well as dialysis centers at Zion Crossroads, Orange, Stanley, Amherst, Lynchburg and Altavista.

BATON ROUGE- A child remained in critical condition, six hours after he was hit by a car while he was crossing the street after getting off a school bus Wednesday afternoon.
The boy, a 7-year-old first grader at Sharon Hills Elementary, was hit in the 5300 block of Cadillac Street at the intersection of Simplex. Investigators said the child was exiting the bus, stopped northbound on Simplex, and darted across Cadillac where he was hit by a sedan.
The driver, a 24-year-old woman, was traveling east on Cadillac, police said. She did not have stop sign.
The crash is still under investigation, and police did not say if the driver will face any traffic charges.

The National Hay Association (NHA) is hoping a recent facelift to its nationalhay.org website will increase the organization's visibility with the public, streamline member communication and generate new business opportunities.
"We wanted to be a little more proactive in keeping people informed about what's going on in our association," says Tim Hall, an Idalia, CO, hay producer who heads up NHA's technology committee. "We also wanted to put a tool in place that would help members network and keep in touch with one another."
In updating the site, Hall teamed up with Nevada Mease, a hay producer and dealer from Riegelsville, PA. Mease also serves on the technology committee. Initially, the pair worked with several outside web-development companies. But they decided to bring the project in-house and develop the site on their own.
"We started working on it over a year ago," says Hall. "The most difficult part was finding a software package that did everything we wanted."
"The older nationalhay.org site was established years ago as an information site for potential new members," adds Mease. "Our goal this time was to come up with something that would allow for more daily member interaction, commerce and improved opportunities to promote members' businesses. We're still fine-tuning, but we think what we have so far is very user-friendly."
The new site features pages devoted to NHA history, the organization's code of ethics and by-laws, member photos, videos and upcoming events.
It also features a members-only portal with a searchable, interactive membership directory. NHA members can personalize contact profiles within the directory, including their names, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, types of businesses and products/services offered. They can add links to their own business websites or social-media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Their business locations can also be pinpointed on a nationwide Google map on the site.
For more information about NHA or the updated website, contact Hall at 970-630-2111 or Mease at 610-656-1230.

Charlotte Posenenske
Sculpture 1965
*1930 in Wiesbaden (DE), †1985 in Frankfurt/Main (DE)
Charlotte Posenenske's work of art consists of objects prepared mostly from industrial materials, sculptures, sculptural pictures and drawings. She pursues a distinct realism of form, of production and distribution, and extended the ranges of concrete-minimal art by adding participative and action-based elements. In parallel to these developments, she also made experimental films in the 1960s. In 1968, Posenenske ended her career as an artist for political reasons and began working as a sociologist.
The Streifenbilder (Stripe Pictures; 1965) are attempts in applying paint in a new way. The diagonal, vertical, and horizontal lines – paying homage to the artist group De Stijl – she used broad felt-tip pens and narrow chalks. These pieces are well-arranged, clear experiments in colour and composition and thus also experiments in perception. The pictures demonstrate a need to dissolve the orderly hierarchy inherent in painting.
In 1966, Posenenske wrote about her sculptural pictures: "They are reminiscent of impressions from our technical environment: Illumination effects, fast driving, spaces of roads and air that narrow, or bulge forward or bend backwards. At the same time, they are a bit reminiscent of our technological environment – suggesting parts of automotive chassis, billboards, warning signs whose production is similar in terms of technology."
With Plastisches Bild (Sculptural Picture; 1966) she hints at a three-dimensional form and paves herself a path to objects in real space.

Pablo Sandoval – The Best Buy Low Out There
In one of my leagues I am in a desperate situation. My team is loaded with underperforming offensive players. Prince Fielder, Adam Lind (of course), Carlos Pena, Nyjer Morgan and David Wright. Yesterday I decided to look into the best buy-low player available by looking at five primary factors.
- The player's current home run to fly ball rate. It had to be low.
- The player's past performance. There had to be a solid indication that this guy was capable of carrying an offense.
- Some indication very recently that this guy was ready to break out.
- The player's age could not be older than 30.
- The player's current rank could not be better than 150.
The player that I came up with at the end was Pablo Sandoval. Kung Fu Panda has a home run to fly ball rate which is less than half of what it was in 2010. In terms of past performance everything was there last year and he even struggled out of the gates last season which is an indication that slow starts are just a part of who he is. The indication that a breakout is going to happen were his multiple hit games on Friday and Saturday which included two extra base hits. He's also young and in the 200s on the player rater.
- Max Scherzer had it working yesterday. 14 of his 17 outs were via strikeout. The timing of the outing seems to fit. Scherzer had two starts at AAA in order to regain confidence in his stuff and he absolutely dominated in those two starts. Is this start going to be a flash or a trend? There is a history of the quick send down to the minors and call back up working as it did last year for Ricky Nolasco and two seasons ago for Francisco Liriano, so I'm saying Scherzer is worth buying.
- I'd say the Angels learned their lesson after celebrating a Howie Kendrick walk-off home run yesterday. The Nationals learned nothing from the Angels celebration. Perhaps that's why they're the Nationals and the Angels are the Angels.
- Jon Lester is a top five pitcher in fantasy baseball. He was brilliant again yesterday and throwing out the last two Aprils Lester has been outstanding. Nobody in baseball history has a better winning percentage than him with at least 100 starts. The ranks should go Ubaldo Jimenez, Roy Halladay, Tim Lincecum, Adam Wainwright, and Lester. Apologies to Josh Johnson.
- Who said that Leo Nunez was not a solid closing option? His 0.83 WHIP is an indication that he has a pretty solid grip on the job.
- The Padres are officially considering themselves contenders and will hold on to Adrian Gonzalez (doh!) and Heath Bell (for he's a jolly good fellow!) and might even look to add a little pay roll according to Buster Olney last night on Baseball Tonight.
- Speaking of the Padres if there is a middle reliever worth owning, his name is Luke Gregorson. Gregorson has 32 strikeouts to only 2 walks and has allowed only one hit in his last 8 innings.
- Livan Hernandez had his 8th quality start in 10 tries yesterday. If he gets matched up in Petco like he was yesterday that's a situation worth taking advantage of. Next time out he gets the Reds at home. I'd stay away from that knowing that the Reds regulars are a combined .375 against him lifetime.
- Alex Rios hit his 11th home run and stole his 16th base yesterday. He's now on pace for 38 home runs and 55 steals this season. I guess we can all collectively give Ken Williams an apology although he still could have had him for less.
- Franklin Morales threw three scoreless innings in a rehab assignment yesterday. Manny Corpas has been the Rockies closer since Morales went on the shelf and has done a terrific job – not giving up a walk or a run in his last 9 appearances. The Rockies have not made an announcement about who is going to be in what role.
- Dontrelle Willis' next stop could be Arizona. At least he can hit Diamondback fans!

Anonymous says:
A little hard to get Sandoval on the cheap… he may have an overall rank of 200+ this year, but in my Yahoo league he still sports that overall rank of 30, making owners demand way too much in return for fear of getting burned.
Schruender says:
Yeah I know what you mean beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. If people are going to see him as the 30th best player in the game don't bother, but if they see him as maybe the 100th best (when he's ranked significantly worse) it's time to knock. I offered Tommy Hanson for him and got nothing – of course Hanson hasn't lived up to his hype either.
Anonymous says:
Would you trade Francisco Liriano straight up for Panda? Someone just offered me the trade and I'm considering it (he offered Panda, I have Liriano).
Schruender says:
Yeah I think I would. It depends of course on your weaknesses/strengths, but in a vacuum it's a good deal. I'd even try to see if you can counter and get a little more out of it.
Schruender says:
Depends on what the teams needs are (Reynolds will fix HR and Panda will fix AVG). I think the two are comparable players with Reynolds having the better year to this point, but also with the greater downside in terms of what he does from here on out.

Wayne Treacy Guilty in Head-Stomping Case
Categories: Crime
Treacy |
Treacy had reportedly discovered the body of his older brother several months before the attack; he had hanged himself. The defense had argued that post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from the attack had rendered Treacy insane; the jury didn't buy it. The prosecution presented text messages in which Treacy told friends "he was going to kill someone and would go to prison," per the AP.
He also responded to the "dead brother" text with, and sorry for the censorship: "I swear to god I'm gonna kill you! I'll [expletive] find you! Your [expletive] is cold, dead meat [expletive]!"
"He's spelling out what he's going to do. He's spelling out that he is going to jail because of it. He knows he's going to go away. He knows this is not going to end well," said Stanford psychiatrist Hans Steiner, who said the messages demonstrated Treacy knew right from wrong and simply didn't care.
Ratley suffered permanent brain damage and did not testify at the trial. Treacy faces up to 50 years in prison.

The portfolio site of the Jeremy Levine Design does an excellent job highlighting the work of an architecture studio with interests in both the natural and digital environment. The site unfolds, spins, explodes, and collapses on itself to immerse the user in the projects, exploring each environment from multiple facets. The studio worked with Section Seven to realize a site that borrows some of the techniques used in that studio's own portfolio, but contextualizes the experience for exploring 3 dimensional architectural spaces.

The Todd Glass Show #107: Troy Conrad, Part 2
By Katie Levine on June 14, 2013
It's the second half of the hilarious show with Troy Conrad (co-creator of Set List)!
Buy The Todd Glass Show t-shirts!
Like The Todd Glass Show on Facebook, follow @ToddGlass on Twitter, and buy his album "Thin Pig"!
Moshe Kasher should totally be a guest on the show.
Please have Moshe on ASAP.
I love the Todd Glass show, but this did nothing for me. It felt like someone doing a parody of Todd Glass.
Not saying it to be mean, please don't ban me from listening. Just not my bag this time.
This episode won't play on my ipod for some reason
ok, so I have listened to this show for a long time, always sober. I never understood how amazing it was until being under the influence. It's truly great.
I wanted to send an email but could not find an address on any site.
so i will settle for this. i've listened to the show since the beginning and nothing makes me happier than a new todd glass show. it gets me through my monday (east coaster so i don't listen till mon). if you let me know how to email you i would like to tell you all the ways in which you are awesome and make life great but for now i would just like to thank you for introducing me to Rubblebucket, the band doin th LADIE song. the jerry lewis bit was hilarious BUT you should have at least introduced the band. had to look that shit up old school! however, that song made me soooo fuckin happy! total get up and dance happiness!! thank you for the tip. (they are from brooklyn not canada tho)love the show, love the bits, love this silliness!!
Does anyone know where that Jerry Lewis bit comes from? So frickin' funny.
I love this show but the constant reference to Adam Carolla's answer to a somewhat staged question is fucking boring (unless there's dialogue we don't know about). Sorry, but can we move on?

Was wondering if yall were gonna post this..Lupe put it up on his facebook this morning...all 4 : Common, Lu, Jenny, and I.D. are Chicago natives if I'm not mistaken too.... Yall better post Lupe's single for Lasers tonight too!
wtf is lupe's new single?
@YOYO It's called the Show Goes On and it isn't your typical Lupe song. Sounds to much like Right Above It by Lil Wayne and Drake to me.
Where's Show Goes On?
Lupe Fiasco- the show goes on
its pretty cool sum uplifting type music.
The beat is insanely good.
@Brocho Cinco yeah but at least lupe's has lyrical talent in it, unlike waynes & drakes wack asses
everyone should buy the song and support an artist as great as lupe.
@Brocho Cinco the only thing about it that sounds like Right Above It is the beat..the lyrics are positive and uplifting
Sorta like "Superstar"
Lupe Fiasco- the show goes on was so bad and trash all the lupe zombies are quite tonight...
this is a good song but the video is whack as fuck, i would never listen to this to try and get amped.
we can do it track is hot nasty beat hot track download this man

Not supporting Lupe is the most asinine thing I've seen in a while. That and all of the Young Money-ish posts(Kid Ink bro?)...
...but in all actuality 2Dopeboyz never claimed to be a site in support of real hip-hop. The assumption was just kinda made wasn't it? Whatever...

McGowan a wanted man
Paul McGowan's penalty heroics at Hampden on Sunday seem to have got him noticed in England with a host of Championship clubs hoping to tempt him down south before Thursday's transfer deadline.
We were all worried about losing Kenny McLean in the January transfer window but it seems it might be another midfielder who is on his way. McGowan has been terrific since he returned from injury at the end of December and it's no surprise to see other clubs interested in him, with Leeds, Charlton and Sheffield Wednesday reported to be leading the chase.
Losing the talented playmaker - who was linked with a move to Crystal Palace last season - would be a huge blow, especially with a cup final coming up. McGowan's contract is due to expire in the summer and he's expected to leave on a free, but would the club be tempted to cash in on him now?
Hopefully not - partly because a large chunk of any fee is due to be paid to old club Celtic. £100,000 is the fee being rumoured in today's papers and that is surely not enough to force our hand, especially with lots of extra income expected from our cup run. Besides, surely the player himself would rather stick around and win a trophy before he heads for the Championship?

More news on broke rappers...Jermaine Dupri is being sued over his 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago by Premier Financial Services.
According to the lawsuit, Jermaine failed to make payments on the car after his $70,000 initial down payment. He financed the remainder of the car for $330,000. He was supposed to make 58 payments at a cost of $4,323, but around 2009 he defaulted on the loan.
So Premier Financial Services claims he owes $80,000 on the car. The legal documents say that the Lamborghini was already repossessed and sold for $115,000, however Jermaine still owes the company $79,095 in damages.

Apparently this article isn't about truth in articles.
"Indeed, the slogan as used here is actually a link to a section of Mr Romney's website calling for "Smaller, Smarter, Simpler Government". This isn't a call for cutting the deficit at all. It's a call for reducing the size of government, which only cuts the deficit if you don't slash taxes at the same time, which would be fine except that Mr Romney is planning to slash taxes."
How is the above mentioned the truth? If you reduce government the deficit will be reduced. And if you also slash taxes, then people will have more money to spend and create wealth and ultimately more money will end up in the tax pot. At least this is possible, which makes the "...which only cuts the deficit if you don't slash taxes at the same time," untrue.
try taking an introductory economics course.

HillHead in Devon Christmas and New Year
After our rather ghastly New Year at a well known commercial site last year we thought that lightening could not strike twice, and to play safe, we chose to try the always good Caravan Club Site at Hillhead in Devon for both Christmas and New Year.
This large all singing all dancing site was taken over by the Caravan Club in 2000 in a rather run down state, it was operated for two years and then shut down for one year for many improvements to be made with a fist full of money being spent.
In 2003 we were privileged to be invited to the official launch, there were not many hardstandings then so we were on grass right by the children's playground, a little noisy. Since that time the club have spent a fortune on this site, it is virtual unrecognisable to us now, we had a very private hardstanding with high hedges all round, this kept the wind at bay.
When the site closes on 3rd Jan it is going to have many more improvements and will become a site that will compete on equal terms with any others anywhere.
When Hillhead opens its doors again in March there will be 27 fully serviced pitches, all in good locations, 111 hardstandings, 132 grass pitches, all these with electric hook ups, and a first we think, there will be 13 tent pitches with lights and electric hook ups. We suspect that 2013 will be a bumper year for Hillhead, and well deserved.
We booked for this holiday period at the end of the summer and after having received the programme we discovered that there was a five course meal on Christmas day and a buffet on New Year's Day. The restaurant was open each evening plus most nights a good cabaret was on stage. We had our doubts about being able to reach the site due to all the floods in Devon, we travelled on 24th December and in the event had no problems at all, thank goodness. When we booked in the wardens, Chris and Tina, were extremely pleasant and helpful, this helped no end to reassure us with regard to our decision to try another caravanning Christmas. We chose a very secluded pitch with very high hedges, these helped to keep the rather high winds at bay.
Obviously the day we arrived, 24th, we took it easy and set the caravan up in a fairly leisurely manner as we had had a 170 mile journey down from our Herefordshire home. The evening entertainment started with a carol service by the Torbay Brass Band, during this we had a very good meal, big helpings, of Lasagne. The band played for about 75 minutes and sounded good. After this rather uplifting experience the cabaret starred Katie Mae, a very good vocalist who pretended to be somewhat "dippy" very funny and very good, a lovely evening altogether. Christmas Day, the weather was not too bad, but all around was sodden, never mind we had so much to look forward to. The day's activities started at 12.30 with welcome drinks and "smooth saxophone" played by Katie Jay, a little too loudly we thought. Our "lunch" started at 1.15 and was a mammoth five courses. At three o'clock, after four courses including a huge helping of turkey, Father Christmas come to visit, there was a huge pile of presents under a large Christmas tree, two for each man and one each for the ladies it appeared. After this rather festive activity lunch carried on with the desserts and coffees, there had been about six bottles of wine between ten of us so we were all quite merry by now. We were then entertained by a Crooner, name MAC his songs were all from our era and excellent. Boxing day saw the restaurant open with another Cabaret, we did not attend that one.
Thursday we popped over to the restaurant and had another very good meal, the Chef certainly is good at Hillhead, no entertainment tonight. Friday evening there was a quiz and a cabaret act with a chap playing a very odd keyboard instrument in rather ragged clothes, this was a tribute to the eighties, a little too loud for our taste.
The extremely windy night saw us up in the middle of the night to put some more pegs in the ground for the awning, luckily it was still there in the morning but on the Devon news tales of more flooding, trees blown down and even a 40ft steel container being blown over a hedge into the road, some storm. The site shop certainly had a run on some very good, large rock pegs. Saturday was a foul weather day with highish winds and heavy rain, not really going out weather! In the evening we had another excellent meal in the Complex, we played bingo and was lucky enough to win two out of the three games. After the bingo the cabaret was a young girl singing, we think she was singing, the music was so loud and the bass turned up so much that the poor soul was drowned out. Sunday was a much better weather day, the sun even made an appearance now and again, the forecast for New Year's Eve is not good but Tuesday should be better, we can always hope.
Monday, New Years Eve was a very wet day with the rain persisting throughout the entire day, no chance of taking the awning down. Tonight we were going to have a buffet plus entertainment and a cabaret, we went at just after the Complex opened and already the room was crowded, luckily friends that we had got to know saved us a table and we were ensconced. There was to be no mad dash for food as each table was called separately. The tables were groaning under the weight of the food, we have never seen such a large choice of items, even fussy people would have been catered for, not only was there a huge choice but the food was really excellent, the Hillhead Chef is wonderful. A male singer with a very good voice kept us entertained until about eleven o'clock and then we had a disco and dancing until the magic hour. Just after midnight we all went outside to see the firework display that had been prepared for us, this was of about five minutes duration and was excellent, after this super display most went back for a while to the club.
Tuesday was, as predicted, bright and clear, we had all day to get ourselves ready for the trek home to Herefordshire. We had our new found friends over in the afternoon and shock horror we had to cook our own dinner! All too soon our break was over and unlike last year it had been fantastic, we suppose that non caravanners would find it extremely difficult to believe that such a lovely time could be had in and around those "tin" boxes. For the trip we used the Caravan Club "Snooper" sat nav, we just put in Hillhead from the list and Hey Presto it took us right to the door, we still find this quite uncanny.
We would definitely say to any caravanner, go and try this very very good holiday, the site is excellent, all the staff are always smiling, and the wardens could not be more helpful. Even the weather did not dampen our enjoyment and enthusiasm.

Hang Back for This One
Normally, I am the first to embrace the "P/E of Bristol Myers" argument. I say "normally," though, because all last week I said I was willing to miss the last couple percent of this rally because of the parabolic moves that so many stocks have made, and that I wanted to stay away from the almost-daily new highs and cycle into less elevated stocks.
Still, I would be wrong to say I saw this one coming, and that's a real danger, because if you didn't see it coming it is hard to say, "OK, now this is what I have been waiting for." I was worried about a Fed-induced correction, and now if you buy Monday you have to be worried about a double-whammy come Wednesday.
In other words, after the run we have seen in the market, we were due for a negative event, and I fear that event could be a one-two punch of both Cyprus and the Fed.
Let's pull these two apart, though, and make some sense of them as distinct entities, and then overlay them on the charts that I studied this weekend.
First, I think Cyprus has a rogue banking system. I don't like the idea of making smaller depositors pay anything, even though Cyprus had offered a juicy and unsustainable 5% interest rate on deposits, which meant that the whole banking system was like that of the hot-money-seeking savings-and-loans banks from the S&L bailout era. That's when the certificate of deposit rates varied widely, and the weaker banks paid through the nose to get deposits. Many of them ended up failing when that hot money departed. That's how the Cyprus banks look to me now. You would no more blow out of your own local bank because of that S&L crisis than you would take your money out of Santander (SAN) because of Cyprus. We did see huge bank runs in Spain during May of last year, but that was forestalled by the government, and then later by the "by any means necessary" words from the European Central Bank's Mario Draghi.Select the service that is right for you!

Customer Raves & Reviews
So Pretty!
Tree Top Love Save the Date Magnets I purchased these as my Save the Dates. I customized the colors to match our wedding colors and they came out great! They are the perfect size and I love that they are magnets. My friends have told me that they have it on their fridge, so they definitely wont forget! I got them about a week and a half after I ordered them, which I thought was great turn around time. They even threw in the extras that were made during production at no extra cost. I'm very pleased with my experience and will definitely use MagnetStreet again in the future.
Great Product
Soft and Sweet Save the Date Magnets We changed the colors on the design to make it pop more and it turned out great! Very happy with the final product.
Love the Save the Dates
Vintage Peacock Save the Date Magnets Was very easy to personalize the save the dates. Designer emailed to let us know that the script was originally made it illegible - quick and easy change.
