I didn't understand half the words in that rap poem because she for sure used some dictionary terms and synonyms that confused the shit out of me but I think the message was pretty clear: Maggie hates everything. Especially gays. Don't be gay and try to hang out with Maggie because there's a good chance she'll fucking stab you to death. Also she hates switching up the rhyming pattern on her songs or any word that doesn't end in "-ate". And flow. She hates flow. And music or a beat of any kind. Still I'm giving the rap a solid 8 out of 10.

Three years spent repairing old books in the basement of a university library can't help but leave a girl like me with a definite bias. I love books–and I don't just love reading them. I love the smell of leather, I love the texture of fine paper, and I love the way a well-bound volume...

We don't need these government agencies any more. They have become useless. We have these new people that will write new regulations and make the decisions about what companies can and can't do business in our fair land. We call them the fascists. These fascists will control all business transactions and make determinations about what is best for our health. HAIL TO THE FASCISTS!! »

SUPRA Invasion Tour: Part Three
Statue in a park where we got a permit to skate the big six block.
Our last stop on the SUPRA Invasion Tour was the city of Manila in the Philippines. We arrived right after the storm hit the central part of the island, so our demo was part skating/part hurricane relief. Last year's visit was crazy and this year was no different with all the fans out to see us and enjoy a little respite from the recent disaster.
Kevin Romar received a beat down on this beast which is in the running for "World's Worst Landing Zone."

Anne Northup is our new national guardian against lead-laden Chinese toys?! Nooooooooo!
The ex-congresswoman from Louisville, who has been out of the limelight since her 2006 defeat for re-election after 10 years in the U.S. House, is to be nominated as a commissioner on the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, the White House announced Thursday evening.
Northup was not an Obama partisan in last year's election, so that is not why the president tapped her. Rather, her nomination was recommended to the president by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. [The C-J]

Citrus Quarantine Violators Sentenced By Court
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Samuel Santiago, Special Agent in Charge, Caribbean Area Manager, USDA APHIS Investigative & Enforcement Services, and Karen Citizen-Wilcox, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Office of Inspector General, Southeast Region, announced that Randall Linkous, 61, of Boynton Beach, Andrea Moreira, 32, of Boynton Beach, Dale Leblang, 60, of Boca Raton, and David Peskind, 57, of Boca Raton, were sentenced Friday as a result of their involvement in a conspiracy to violate the Plant Protection Act, to transport and sell quarantined citrus plants in interstate commerce, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.
United States District Court Judge James I. Cohn, who had earlier accepted guilty pleas from each of the defendants to the conspiracy charge, sentenced Linkous to serve a term of probation of one year, to include a period of home confinement of six months, subject to electronic monitoring, and 100 hours of community service. Linkous is also prohibited from being involved with the sale of plants without the specific permission of the Court. Moreira also received a one year term of probation, 50 hours of community service, and a similar employment restriction. Defendants Leblang and Peskind were each ordered to serve a one year term of probation, but were not placed under a future employment restriction by the Court or ordered to perform community service, in light of their cooperation in the investigation and resolution of the case.
The matter arose in March 2011 when USDA Inspectors with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) in Ohio and Illinois discovered a species of citrus plant known as Calomondin being sold from nurseries in those states. Dubbed "Operation Orange Aid" the investigation centered on the illegal transport and sale in interstate commerce of the plants. Calomondin has been under quarantine in Florida for many years as part of an effort to eradicate citrus canker. The plant is a known carrier of both Citrus Canker Disease and the Citrus Greening Disease. From 1995 through 2006, government costs to control and eradicate these diseases exceeded $1.4 billion, including over $700 million for compensation to the owners of commercial citrus groves that had to be destroyed. The Plant Protection Act, Title 7, United States Code, Section 7712 prohibits the movement of quarantined plant material in interstate commerce.
Investigation revealed that the plants had been acquired through Allied Growers, Inc., (ALLIED) in Ft. Lauderdale, a brokerage company owned and operated by defendants Dale Leblang and David Peskind. The owners admitted their awareness of the quarantine restrictions and that they had falsely labeled the plants on invoices in order to conceal their true nature and move them out of Florida. The actual grower and supplier of the plants to Allied was Valico Nurseries (Valico) of Pompano Beach, Florida, owned and operated by co-defendants Randall Linkous and his daughter Andrea Moreira. Valico's principals were also fully cognizant of the quarantine and the illegality of their sales activities. Invoices from Valico to Allied actually established the M.O. of the operation, designating the proscribed flora as an unrestricted species which Valico did sell, but not in the size or for the price at which the suspect plants were marketed.
When Linkous and Moreira were initially interviewed by USDA investigators, they falsely stated that Valico had made no sales of the restricted plant inside the United States and made only "excepted" sales to Canada, after inspection and sealing by USDA. Investigators secured evidence from nurseries in at least seven different states confirming their purchase of approximately 252 Calomondin plants. According to the government, more than 1,650 of the quarantined plants, with a retail value exceeding $37,000, were shipped as part of the criminal conduct.
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the USDA's Smuggling Interdiction & Trade Compliance Office and the Special Agents of the USDA Office of Inspector General. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas Watts-FitzGerald and Norman O. Hemming, III.

Do's and Don'ts of Exercising with Lower-Back Pain Symptoms
If it was so easy to get great abs, everyone would have a stomach flat as an ironing board. But for most people a six-pack is as elusive as it is coveted. Still, a toned torso and core strength will make you look and feel great… not to mention protect you from injury, ease lower back pain and improve posture. Best of all you can tighten your stomach right there on the living room floor with these four exercises. Plus: Test your abs-toning know-how with our quiz…
Contrary to popular belief (or wishful thinking), a targeted exercise offensive will not conquer a stubborn belly bulge, says Jason Anthony Hoey, owner of Chicago personal training company EtaKinisi: Efficient Movement for Health, Sport and Fitness. "That is called spot reduction, and it is not possible without surgery," he says.
take you from fat to flat is a commitment to diverse strength training, fat-burning cardio (to uncover developing muscles), and a healthy diet… not just a bunch of crunches. And the results are well-worth the good old-fashioned sweat it takes to achieve them.
Remember, a strong core isn't just for looks. At its best, core strength will protect your back when picking up your 4-year-old niece or dragging out the garbage cans. The fact that you'll rock a strong, sexy stomach all the way to the curb is just a bonus. (See related story:
Say Farewell to Flabby Spots
Hoey recommends these four exercises to get you started:
Pelvic Tilt
Your midsection is made up of three muscle groups: internal and external obliques (side muscles), rectus abdominis (muscles that run the length of your front torso), and transverse abdominis (deep muscle that runs horizontally across your front torso). The pelvic tilt is an isometric exercise that works all three muscle sets to improve joint stability and mobility, overall muscular strength, and mind/body awareness.
1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
2. Place a towel underneath the small of your back just above your hips. The towel should be placed in such a way that you're able to pull it out from beneath you.
3. Lightly tighten your abdominal muscles. Hold the contraction.
4. Press the small of your back into the floor so the towel now can't be pulled out from under you to create a posterior pelvic tilt.
5. Hold for 6 seconds.
6. Do 6 sets of 4-8 repetitions at an exertion level of 3-4 on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the highest level of intensity). Rest 2 seconds between each repetition. Adjust the intensity and number of reps to match your fitness level.
Hip/Trunk & Spine Rotation
This isometric exercise works all the same muscle groups as the pelvic tilt above, plus it incorporates the hip flexors. All you need is a bench; even the edge of the coffee table during a
Law & Order
rerun will do the trick.
1. Sit upright on a backless chair or bench. Plant feet firmly on the floor.
2. Perform this exercise starting from an upright position if the angle produces enough force to be challenging. As you get stronger, lean back (increasing difficulty) by 5-degree increments. For example, if you start at 90 degrees (sitting upright), work your way back to 95 degrees, then 80 degrees and so forth.
3. Lightly tighten your abdominal muscles. Hold the contraction.
4. Rotate slightly to the left. Keep chest pulled up tall toward the ceiling.
5. Slowly lower your entire upper body back, hinging at the hips until you feel a low level of force on your abs.
6. Hold for 6 seconds.
7. Do 6 sets of 4-8 repetitions at an exertion level of 3-4 on a scale of 1-10. Rest for 2 seconds between each exercise. Adjust the intensity and number of reps to match your fitness level.
8. Repeat on your right side.
Alternating Arm & Leg Raises
A bit of coordination is necessary for this exercise, but once you get the hang of it your body will feel the burn as your internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and hip flexors contract for a full frontal workout. (See related story:
The Abs Diet for Women
1. Lie on your back with your arms and legs straight.
2. Put your left heel on the top of your right toes.
3. Raise your right arm straight up toward the ceiling.
4. Lightly tighten your abs. Hold the contraction.
5. Lift your left foot two to three inches above your right foot. Hold.
6. Reach toward your left foot with your right arm by rotating and flexing your trunk and spine. Imagine someone is helping to pull you off the ground by your arm, shoulder and upper chest cavity.
7. When you have reached a comfortable end range, hold for one full second. Be sure to keep your lower and middle back on the floor.
8. Maintain a tempo of 3 seconds up, 1 second hold, 3 seconds down.
9. Do 2 sets of 15-20 repetitions at an exertion level of 7-8 on a scale of 1-10. Rest for 2 seconds between each repetition. Adjust the intensity and number of reps to match your fitness level.
Reverse Crunch
We never said no crunches. Before your roll your eyes, hear us out. These are different than traditional crunches. This version will whip just about every one of your stomach muscles into shape, plus there's no risk of incorrectly throwing out your neck in your quest for a six pack. Give it a try, and see for yourself.
1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor.
2. Lightly tighten your abdominals. Hold the contraction.
3. Lift your feet off the ground 1-2 inches.
4. Slowly pull your knees toward your chest. Hold for 1 full second.
5. Lower your knees back down and return your feet to the ground.
6. Do 2 sets of 15-20 repetitions at an exertion level of 7-9 on a scale of 1-10. Rest for 2 seconds between each repetition. Adjust the intensity and number of reps to match your fitness level.
Remember, pain isn't necessarily gain. A little bit of burn is OK, but you shouldn't ever feel extremely sore after a workout. If you are, you've probably pushed too hard. Take it down a notch by slowing your tempo, decreasing the number of reps or sets, or limiting the range of motion. "It's a good idea to listen to your body," Hoey says. "It knows best"
There you have it. An effective abs workout in the comfort of your own home. All the brawn. None of the bull. Skip the supposed short cuts and workout gimmicks promising a six pack in mere minutes. Just remember to stick to the basics – strength training, cardio and diet – and you'll have a toned torso, core strength and a sexy stomach in no time flat, or at least a few short weeks.
What's Your Abs IQ?
Survey a group of women about their biggest trouble spot, and more than likely, the majority will complain about a flabby stomach. Attaining flawless, flat abdominals is far from easy. Most people think getting that washboard stomach is as simple as doing countless sit-ups, but that's not the case. If you want to start transforming your tummy from dough-boy to dynamic, the first step is to get informed. It's crunch time – so see how much you really know about shaping up your stomach with this

Jason Garrett explains Kiffin's new role
January, 28, 2014
Todd Archer | ESPN.com
IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys love titles. They might not mean much, but they love titles.
Monte Kiffin was named the assistant head coach/defense on Tuesday night. Rod Marinelli will be the defensive coordinator.
Coach Jason Garrett said Kiffin will continue to have a "significant role."
But what does that really mean for Kiffin?
"He's going to be at every meeting, every practice, every game," Garrett said. "He's going to be completely involved in this and again viewing it from a little different perspective than he had last year. One of the things we're confident about is the fact that he and Rod work so well together. The roles will be a little bit different but having (Kiffin) coaching the coaches, coaching the players is a positive."
But make no mistake about it, this is Marinelli's defense. The game plan will be Marinelli's. The in-game adjustments will fall on Marinelli.
If Kiffin is the father of the Tampa 2 scheme, then Marinelli is the uncle. In his three years as the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, Marinelli's defenses forced the most fumbles (59), intercepted the third-most passes (65) and scored the most defensive touchdowns (13) while allowing the fourth-fewest points (904).
"Rod will be in that defensive coordinator position and have all the responsibilities that coordinator job has and we're excited to have him in role," Garrett said. "He's been a defensive line coach, been a head coach, been a coordinator and we're excited to get him back in that role and have Kiff in the other role on the defensive staff. It can be good."
