Not that it matters a whole lot -but Cincinnati's getting more national.Radio host going nationwide
'The nation's station" lives up to its slogan again when WLW-AM's Mike McConnell begins national syndication Monday of his 9 a.m.-noon talk show.
The laid-back 20-year talk veteran debuts on "a handful of stations," he says. The Philadephia native and University of Dayton graduate played rock music at Hamilton's old WSKS-FM (96.5) before joining WLW-AM in 1984 as the commercial production director.
McConnell, 51, of Blue Ash, has built a national reputation in the past three years hosting "The Weekend" Saturday afternoons on 120 sister Clear Channel stations. WLW-AM talk shows also have aired on XM Satellite Radio Channel 173 since March.
Slight change: It shouldn't be dramatically different to WLW listeners. My show hasn't been more than 25 percent local (topics) for some time. I don't think my listeners will mind.
Breaking news: If something big happens here, we can run something different on the network. We will have several hours of interviews in the bank. You can interview someone and not take calls, so it doesn't sound that much different (from a live show). If there is a major story - like a riot again - then someone will have to work for me locally on WLW.
Starting small: We're launching with a handful of stations because not everybody is going to drop a show one day and pick up somebody new the next. A month or two from now, the number of stations could be significantly higher.
Politics: I'm a little right of center, and a little bit Libertarian - whatever makes sense - which usually leans to the right most of the time.
Raised on radio: I'm one of those kids who went to sleep with the radio on, flipping around the dial to see what distant stations I could get (from suburban Philadelphia) - WLW, WOWO in Fort Wayne, WABC in New York, WLS in Chicago.
Catch the wave: I resisted doing a network show at first, because it cuts down on the things you can talk about, local topics. But it became obvious as the wave of the future - and you either catch on, or you drown. I finally agreed to do "The Weekend" with an eye to do a weekday network show at some point.
Just do it: I compare this to getting a master's (degree), going back to school late in life. You just got to buckle down and do it. I don't plan to take any time off until the end of the year.
Big ambition: My goal is to win. I think it will take about two years to be No. 1 among the morning syndicated talk shows. The competition includes Glenn Beck (a Clear Channel talker dropped by WKRC-AM in January), Laura Ingraham and Dr. Laura Schlessinger. It's not like I'm going against Rush Limbaugh, which would be stiffer competition.

The Madras High Court on Wednesday ordered notice on a petition by S. Nalini, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, seeking a month's parole to enable her to be with her ailing father who is aged 90.
A Division Bench, comprising Justices S. Rajeswaran and P.N. Prakash, posted the matter for further hearing on February 11.
In a habeas corpus petition, she said she was in prison for the past 22 years. Her father, P. Sankara Narayanan, a retired Inspector of Police, and a resident of Ambalavanapuram in Tirunelveli district, was bed-ridden and was seriously ill for quite some time. It was more than eight years since she met him. She wanted to be with him in his last days.
He applied to the Additional Director-General of Prison on December 12 last year to grant her ordinary leave for a month. As it was not granted, she filed the present plea.
She said the ADGP should have granted leave to her to meet her father considering the fact that she had not availed herself of leave except on one occasion for a day nine years ago for attending her brother's wedding.
She sought a direction to the prison authorities to consider her application and grant her leave.
Keywords: Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, Nalini, one-month leave, ailing father, Additional Public Prosecutor

CYT387 was well tolerated. The overall discontinuation rate was 5% and there were no patient withdrawals for drug-related adverse events. No Grade 4 non-hematological toxicities were observed. Grade 3 non-hematologic adverse events were infrequent and included increased transaminases (n=2), headache/head pressure (n=2), and increased lipase (n=3), No QTc prolongations greater than Grade 1 were observed.
Some patients experienced a "first-dose effect" characterized by Grade 1 lightheadedness (26 subjects, 43%) and hypotension (31 subjects, 52%). The phenomenon was self-limiting, generally resolved within 3-4 hours and did not recur after the first dose.
Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia was seen in 16 (27%) subjects. It should be noted that the minimum platelet count specified in the inclusion criteria for the study is 50,000/mcl. The majority of Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia were observed in subjects where baseline platelet counts were less than 100,000/mcl.
Treatment-emergent Grade 3 anemia was seen in four subjects (7%). None of the subjects developed new red cell transfusion requirements. Treatment-emergent Grade 3/4 neutropenia was seen in three subjects (5%).
For more information on the CYT387 Phase I/II trial, go to:
Notice of Meeting/Conference Call:
YM Management will be hosting an analyst and investor meeting at the Hilton Orlando, Lake Sheen A Room, to discuss these results. The meeting will be hosted by Dr. Nick Glover, President and Chief Executive Officer of YM BioSciences and will include a re-presentation of the results by the Principal Investigator for the trial, Dr. Animesh Pardanani, Mayo Clinic, joined by the Study's Chair, Dr. Ayalew Tefferi, Mayo Clinic.

Posey's injury stirs debate on baseball collisions
SAN FRANCISCO Ray Fosse watched the crushing blow to Giants star Buster Posey and wondered why after all these years there are still few rules to protect catchers at the plate.
If there's anybody who knows about collisions, it's Fosse.
He was at the center of one of the most iconic hits in baseball history, when Pete Rose barreled over him to score the winning run in the 1970 All-Star game. Fosse's right shoulder was permanently rearranged, and while he briefly rebounded from the injury, it started a downward slide to a career that was ultimately cut short.
"After Rose hit me in '70, I had two guys that blind-sided me, guys who hit me standing up," said Fosse, who stopped short of asking baseball to rewrite the rule book. "There's never anybody ejected for that."
The clean but cringe-inducing crash between Posey and Florida's Scott Cousins this week has still reignited the decades-old debate over plays at the plate.
Posey, the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year and one of the game's brightest young stars, fractured a bone in his lower left leg and tore three ligaments in his ankle. His season is likely over.
In the past few years, the NFL has cracked down on violent hits and increased fines with an eye on player safety. The league also announced this week a policy of "club accountability" for teams whose players repeatedly are fined for flagrant hits.
Some in baseball are asking for similar action in the wake of Posey's injury. Others argue home plate collisions are as much a part of baseball tradition as peanuts and Cracker Jacks and the seventh-inning stretch.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy, a former catcher who had multiple head injuries in his playing days, called on Major League Baseball to explore ideas to protect players.
"I think we do need to consider changing the rules here a little bit because the catcher is so vulnerable and there's so many who have gotten hurt," Bochy said. "And not just a little bit, had their careers ended or shortened."
Even with advances in technology and improved gear, collisions at the plate still cause lasting injuries.
Angels catcher Bobby Wilson had a severe concussion and injured his left leg in a collision with Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira last year. It was Wilson's first big league start behind the plate.
"The next thing I remembered was sitting in a wheelchair," said Wilson, who missed 21 games while on the disabled list.
His manager, Mike Scioscia, caught more games than any player in Dodgers history and endured numerous collisions, including a couple of memorable ones with Jack Clark and Chili Davis. He believes there's an unwritten code of ethics among players, depending on how much of the plate the catcher gives and the situation in the game.
"It's just like breaking up a double play and what the guidelines are," Scioscia said. "Running into a catcher, the catcher's going to stay there and try to block the plate, which you have the right to if you're fielding the ball. And the runner obviously has a right to dislodge it."

The Hitcase
Article Summary
With rugged, mount-equipped iPhone cases such as the Optrix XD, it's now possible to use your phone as an actioncam. Most of these cases, however, aren't designed to be mounted on the user's chest – a viewpoint that often offers some of the best point-of-view shots. That's where the Hitcase and its ChestR Mount come into the picture.

South Texas Reports: 05.07.06
Lumberjacks chop down Islanders
NACOGDOCHES - Three Stephen F. Austin pitchers combined to allow one run on three hits as the Lumberjacks handed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi a 7-1 loss at Jaycees Field Saturday afternoon.
The Islanders fall to 20-30 with the loss while the Stephen F. Austin moves to 10-39. A&M-Corpus Christi closes out its season on today at 1 p.m. against the Lumberjacks.
SFA starting pitcher Brian Steinocher (2-9) earned his second win of the season by tossing seven innings of one-hit baseball. He allowed one run while striking out eight Islanders. Relievers Jared Schrom and Vince Wade tossed a scoreless inning of relief.
SFA jumped out to a 4-0 lead after three innings. Leading 1-0 after the second, the Lumberjacks scored three runs in the third off Islander starter Will Norman (4-6). Steven Hill keyed the three-run inning with a two-run home run, which was his 13th of the season.
Carlos Estrada, Miguel Mercado and Ernie Olivarez each had a hit for the Islanders. Wes Nottebart tossed the final 1.1 innings without permitting a hit.
Kevin Croft led the Jacks with three hits, while David Jeans, Kyle Freeman and Hill each had two.
Track and field

Reaping The Rewards of Entrepreneurial Activism
Reaping The Rewards of Entrepreneurial Activism
Clockwise from left, James Joseph, assistant director of the IJ Clinic, Trish Hill-Granberry, administrative secretary, Jason Ketchens, Nanda Monteiro, Sara Robinson, Dan Liljenquist, Brian Lee, Martha Tsuchihasi, Patricia Lee, the Director of the IJ Clinic, Brenna Findley, Mary McDermott, Jessica Khan and Jessica Klapper. Clinic participants not pictured: Matt McCarthy, Alex Dyner, Madhu Goel, Stacy Monahan and Mary Pixley.
By Patricia Lee
The entrepreneurial activism in and around the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship recently inspired significant media coverage featuring our successes in inner city Chicago.
Forbes noted, "This project is one where liberals and conservatives can find common ground."
The hosts of WGN-TV's Minority Small Business Report reaffirmed the benefit of the IJ Clinic, praising the "very valuable" contributions the the community that the law students provide, and noting that they attend "one of the best law schools in the world."
A Chicago Sun-Times columnist concluded that, "The clinic is practicing what Congress preached when it pushed through welfare reforms: helping people support themselves and their families without depending on government handouts."
Aspiring entrepreneurs aren't the only ones who benefit from the IJ Clinic. One of the most significant manifestations of our success can be seen in our students' accomplishments. The law students in the IJ Clinic are more energized than ever before. This year's group of second year law students, on their own initiative, developed a pilot series of three workshops geared toward entry-level entrepreneurs. Not only did these students interact with entrepreneurs very intensively; they also provided vital advice about business planning, choice of business type, intellectual property and contracts to members of the community. The third-year students have also done a tremendous job in client intake and representation.
On May 22, we recognized Nanda Monteiro, a third-year student at The University of Chicago Law School, as this year's recipient of the "Entrepreneur's Advocate Award." Among her numerous accomplishments, including her leadership, she was the first student to complete and obtain a copyright and a trademark for a client of the IJ Clinic. Another third-year student, Alex Dyner, and I were recently presented appreciation awards for our efforts in developing a newly incorporated organization named "Rebuilding Our Community, Inc.," which pledges to revitalize a 24-block area of Woodlawn.
Our success to date can be seen every day in the community's enthusiastic response. But that's not all. The program is enormously popular with students. By the time registration closed this spring, 118 students (approximately one-third of the first and second year students) were on the waiting list!
Although the school year is now over, that doesn't mean our work stops. Throughout this summer we continue to serve clients while we work diligently to make the Clinic even better next year!
Patricia H. Lee is director of the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship.

Hello my beloved Vanguardians. How are things going overhere ? Me and my family are going fine, while RL jog on as usual, though two semi-adults sons can give you some headache every now and then. Nevertheless they're still my sweathearts. A few weeks ago I'd closed down some quite stressfull but also challenging weeks. I had to arrange the freight for the two seperate reefers with plant material from China for the company I work for. This provides me with a awefull lot of paper- and organisation work beside my daily one. However everything went fine and both arrived in time and without major problems. At the moment I'm busy preparing the 2012 annual figure from our company, before the verification of them by the accountant. Enough about RL. Gaming wise I'm still playing Skyrim a lot. A month ago my youngest son had bought the game Dark Souls. The horror like looks attracted me and I started up a game myself. However after a few weeks I quited it. The game atmosphere is great, but it's so ridiculous hard and unforgivable that it's frustrasting . The moment you start to swear like a fishwife doing it, you know you've to stop . At the moment I'm not doing any MMO, I'd quite Guildwars 2 after some months. I'm curious what the Elder Scrolls Online will offer, hopefully a gameplay like Skyrim.
The vanguard is still going strong? There's still an encouraging flow of new blood filling the ranks? I see that the same die-hards are still running the show, and are still able to arranged fun things for the guild, chapeau! Congrated with the 6th anniversary btw. Peaking in the calendar I saw that the new raids are already running. I guess there're going fine. Are you making good progress? I'm still impressed about the awefull lot of work several people spend in pointing out strategies and aims.
The Hasty vanguard calender is still on track? I've seens a few of her drawings. I'm confinced that it will become great. This is one of the things which still make me sad, not being around anymore.

2. Top Dentist in Woodland Hills
As an outstanding Associate Fellow member of American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). Dr. Kanani's skills and talents have been validated, as the Fellow Membership with AAID speaks volumes of a dentist's expertise in his or her field. Because of the fact that the AAID is the only dental implant organization that is recognized in court decisions, members of this organization have to successfully undergo the strict educational and experiential requirements. Dr. Kanani is no exception to the rule and his completion of all the AAID's requirements prove that he is familiar with the techniques practiced and introduced by the country's top authorities on dental implants.
3. Revolutionary Dental Implants Techniques
Dr. Kanani has mastered new dental implant techniques known as "Flap-Less/Drill-Less Surgery". In the flap-less procedure, Dr. Kanani leaves the gum tissue intact throughout the surgery, which eliminates the cutting of blood circulation to the gums. This means that the surgery is done in a much shorter time and that the healing time for the patient is significantly reduced. Dr. Kanani's drill-less technique uses a series of instruments that expand the bone. This procedure creates a wedge in the bone, where a pocket is created to place the implant into. No drilling is done, ensuring that no bone tissue is lost. This significantly reduces after-surgery complications and significantly lowers the conventional high price of dental implants cost.

There is no ringsidejunkie.com and I went to MMAJUNKIE.com and they said that this fight was cancelled just hours before it was to start because of lack of funding. They weren't going to be able to pay the fighters.
Somebody screwed up royally!!!!!!!
Aint no one taking shit home.
Actually there is a ringsidejunkie.com crynot. We were going to broadcast the event live until the funding complications with WCO/Valor Fighting caused the event to get shut down. Ringside Junkie had no involvement or control over that, we were mearly offering a portal for fans outside of the local event area (San Diego) to watch the fight. That is as far as the affiliation between the WCO and Ringside Junkie goes.
Too bad it didn't happen. There seemed like some good fights on the card.
I tried to pull up ringsidejunkie.com and it said the sight doesn't exist. I just tried right now and sure enough it is running.
they really messed up
Nice blog and informative. Interesting article ! Thanks for sharing this information.

Fat-Cat Rents Most Vulnerable
It's those cut-throat, top-of-market leases bid up at cash corn's $6.89 season-average peak in 2012 that stand to see the biggest adjustments. Average rents drop much more slowly.

Can someone out there tell me what I am missing!I just read land sales in Progressive Farmer How are these guys going to pay for 13000 dollar an acre ground?I look at after taxes,all expences and depreciation you may clear 100.00 per acre on payed for land.So how do you make payments of that size, it would take 130 years to pay for it with no interest.Do they not figure in cost of living.
Posted by Raymond Simpkins at 8:53AM CDT 07/29/14
corn is at a 100-150 loss on my cash rent ground, can't take that kind of loss again
Posted by Unknown at 6:59AM CDT 07/30/14
Question Marcia. When referencing cash rent- Do the whiz kids actually use average cash rent or median cash rent? Example: 1,000 acres @ $100.00 /acre and 100 acres @ $1,000.00/acre is $550.00 median rent. The average, on the other hand is about $182.00 per acre using the same #'s.
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 9:11PM CDT 07/30/14
Money solves all problems! If someone has the money they can rent or buy land at whatever value - just because they can, they have the cash. If someone does not the money they can't rent or buy land at high or reduced values - just because they can't, they don't have the cash. This is a fact of history and most current economists miss this important fact. During the Great Depression, in the 1980's and still today (money) makes the difference in what individuals can do. When some people suffer because of lack of money others with money can purchase assets even if buying them does not make sense. Most people do not like hearing this time honored fact of money! Put your pencils, calculators and computers away and understand what most economists miss - money solves all problems.
Posted by John Finley at 8:02AM CDT 07/31/14
John, most guys around here buying don't have cash. In fact some are in bad shape, but seem to find someone to finance them.Cash or not you wouldn't buy gold at it's highest knowing it is going to come down.
Posted by Raymond Simpkins at 11:53AM CDT 07/31/14
so the land owner is suppose to lower the rent,,,,is JD going to lower the price of a combine, is Monsanto going to lower the price of chemicals, are the employees going to take a cut in salaries on the farm, if they do, then the tenant can buy a new pick-up

Álvaro de la Rosa | 11/01/2013
Marcelo and Xabi Alonso have been included in Real Madrid's squad list for their away game against Osasuna on Saturday (kick off 20:00 CET).
Marcelo is back in the Madrid squad for the first time since breaking his foot in October while on international duty with Brazil, and Alonso returns after being substituted off injured against Celta Vigo after Enrique De Lucas fell on his neck.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Antonio Adán are all unable to play in the game due to suspension, while Pepe is still injured.
Real Madrid Castilla players José Rodríguez and Tomás Mejiás have been called up for the game, as has Madrid third goalkeeper Jesús Fernández.
The full squad is:
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Jesús Fernández , Tomás Mejías.
Defenders: Raphael Varane, Marcelo, Fabio Coentrão, Raúl Albiol, Álvaro Arbeloa, Ricardo Carvalho.
Midfielders: Mesut Özil, Xabi Alonso, Kaká, Sami Khedira, Michael Essien, Luka Modric, José Callejón, Ángel Di María, José Rodríguez.
Forwards: Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuaín.
Ronaldo did not train on Friday after he was given a day off by the club as he will not be able to play against Osasuna, but Ramos, who is suspended for the next five games, did train.
IMAGEN: Alonso and Arbeloa
Monitor finances, choose your signings wisely, select the best strategy, and face off friends to become the best manager in the world.

One of Konzum's new superstores stands beside a car park near the ferry terminal and the bus station. Super Konzum offers pretty much everything, electrical goods as well as foodstuffs, with a bakery, butcher's, deli counter, and rows and rows of quality Croatian wine at knockdown prices. If you need to do a major shop for the week or knock together a budget barbecue, this is the place to do it. It's a short stagger to the bus stop for the Old Town – you'll have to change at the next junction for Lapad.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury selectmen on Monday received an update on an ad hoc committee's effort to define a proposed new town position of "director of business development."
The person holding that post — which would need approval from town voters as soon as next March — would be charged with creating, recruiting and retaining high-quality jobs in Middlebury.

CORNWALL — "I don't think Rodney was one to replace anything before its time," says Gary Barnett, one of the owners, since 2006, of the old Robbins family farm in Cornwall.
Barnett and Louise Dion, a married couple from Santa Cruz, Calif., bought the property after Rodney Robbins died in 2004; they had a distant goal in mind. The house was originally built in 1816, and in the 100 years of his life, Rodney lived there for close to 40, choosing to leave many of the house's oldest features untouched. For Dion and Barnett, this was the draw.
Since its opening in December 2010, Vergennes Laundry has become a hotspot for locals, with its flaky croissants, tarts made with local tomatoes, fennel and other seasonal vegetables and loaves of bread straight from the oven in the afternoons.
One of the standout items on the menu is the Petits Pots a l'Absinthe, which are light, creamy, imbued with licorice flavor and topped with fresh berries. They come in small white cups with accordingly small spoons, which make the experience last all that much longer.
While Vermont runs are the focus of this blog, recent professional commitments have brought me to the little known and not particularly interesting city of……San Francisco!
So, the Weekly Rider is "rolling on" into a broader blog dealing with The Great Outdoors more generally. You'll still get biking updates on occasion, but this week, it's paddling.
I've been doing a lot of paddling on Otter Creek lately, and there's nobody else out there. So, it's time to go public:
There's some phenomenal canoeing and kayaking to be had in our backyards.
You could literally paddle in the backyard a few weeks ago, but this is more figurative.
WEYBRIDGE — "What has been most inspiring about Vermont is that I've been able to stay put here. Nothing is as good as stability for getting your work done."
Julia Alvarez, a Weybridge writer who has also taught at Middlebury College for nearly 25 years, wrote those lines in her essay "A Vermont Writer from the Dominican Republic."
BRANDON — Sixteen emus on a farm in Brandon have died in what is Vermont's first documented case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Area veterinarian Keely Henderson sent brain tissue and blood samples from the dead emus to a University of New Hampshire lab last Wednesday, Sept. 21, and the results were received late next day.
MIDDLEBURY — An Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) committee will spend the next three months studying the feasibility of offering a second-language program to students throughout the seven-town school district.
Most students in the ACSU currently do not have access to second language instruction until grade 8, though Weybridge Elementary currently operates a successful Spanish program. Officials at Mary Hogan Elementary in Middlebury are also now exploring the prospect of offering a second language.

Trey Songz ft. Nicki Minaj - Touchin, Lovin
Artist: Trey Songz
Featuring: Nicki Minaj
Producer: The Featherstones
Album: Trigga
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 9 votes )
UPDATE: We've added the new interactive visuals for Touchin, Lovin.
There's no way you saw this coming, but Touchin, Lovin, a standout track from Trey Songz' recently released Trigga album, is about sex. Reunited after their smash hit Bottoms Up back in '10, in addition to Songz' typically smooth and steamy vocals, Touchin also features a verse from Nicki that finds Ms. Minaj displaying some unapologetic pimpery. It's basically everything you expected before you hit play, and in this case, that's a good thing.

All is not fair in love and politics. While we're being pegged as gazebo city, it's refreshing to see high-calibre Liberal leaders, at both the provincial and federal level, making the rounds to Muskoka.
It is no secret the ire towards Ontario Liberals has been growing in our community, and not unreasonably so. We've been punished long and hard for making it Miller time in Muskoka for more than a decade. Our northern status was ripped off our lapel, making it next to impossible to access special status funding despite our economic depression in the winter months and the instability of being a primarily seasonal economy.
We've been shouting for some time that we're not merely the playground of the rich; that we need more jobs and more affordable housing to carry us through the year. But it seems our shouts have fallen on very deaf ears as those in power at Queen's Park have, in an almost vindictive manner, chosen to ignore us. Then they partitioned the province into funding zones - guess who got left out? You got it, Muskoka! So what were we supposed to think? Coincidence or punishment? It became a self-fulfilling prophecy that Liberal support began to decline in our communities, notwithstanding a weak local candidacy.
So when would-be Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne came to visit, some of us raised an eyebrow. Would the Liberals finally come out of their partisan fog? Now that Wynne has taken the reins, we're certainly hopeful. Things are already looking up for students and parents in our riding - stuck between the province's grandstanding and an intransigent union - our kids certainly don't need any more days off school, our unpredictable weather has taken care of that all on its own, with more bus cancellations than we can count on two hands.
Federally, the Conservatives have no competition - a problem especially when it's a Conservative government that some of its own party faithful can't swallow. It's certainly simmered down the party rhetoric and made our prime minister kiss more babies, but the Canadian Alliance still lingers. It's time for a healthy jolt and judging by Justin Trudeau's visit this weekend, he might be the antidote that will take Liberals our of their reverie. He's been around politics for a long time — but is young, idealistic and still has dreams for a better Canada. If anyone is going to breathe new life into the oxygen-deprived lungs of a weathered, old and lackluster federal Liberal party, it just might be him.
We need more charismatic leaders instead of the old boys' club monopoly on politics of years gone by. Closer to home, we hope Tony gets to show off his verbal prowess by getting a run for his money when the next election hits. It's good for democracy and it's good for voter turnout.

Fake Fergie, Pregnant Fergie, Botox Fergie? Leave Fergie Alone!
I missed American Idol last night and was stunned to see all the talk about Fergie.
Everyone was wondering what happened to Fergie's face on American Idol's Black Eyed Peas performance.
The questions were: is Fergie pregnant on American Idol or did Fergie get plastic surgery?
Really??? People were asking these questions???
I just don't get it – I thought she looked fine!
There is nothing wrong with Fergie!
So what if her face appeared a little fuller – maybe she put on a couple of pounds! It angers me when people automatically assume a celebrity is pregnant if she puts on some weight.
Honestly, I can't believe this was such a hot topic Thursday night.
Cut the girl some slack!

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has revealed that the club's star striker Sergio Aguero would be fit for their Premier League title decider at home against West Ham United on Sunday.
Pellegrini said that the complete City squad is fit for Sunday, adding that it is very important for a manager to have his complete squad and choose from all his players.
According to Sport24, Aguero had been a doubt of playing City's final league clash due to a groin problem after he limped off in the first half of his side's 3-2 win at Everton last weekend.
City need a point against West Ham to secure the Premier League title for the second time in three years, because although Pellegrini's men lead second-placed Liverpool by two points, they have a goal difference advantage of 13 goals, the report added.

Hmm, I thought BT were the first to block TPB! Maybe I was wrong...
Posted 12 June 2012 - 12:50
BT hasn't blocked TPB yet. I can still access it anyway. I thought they were delaying it, but I can't remember the reason why.
EDIT: well, at least I'm not wrong I suppose
I believe Virgin were the first to block it.
BT have been allowed more time to implement the block, which to me is rather unfair, why should they be allowed more time to implement this when all the other ISPs have to do it now. Seems a little bit odd if you ask me.
Posted 12 June 2012 - 12:54
Yea they disagree that blocking sites is the way to combat piracy and asked the court for longer to discuss it before blocking it
All ISPs could have gotten more time, the others were just soft asses and went along with it
Fair enough, I'm out of touch with this whole blocking lark. It's a load of bull**** and we all know it...

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Several states are vying for Boeing s 777X manufacturing center and over ten thousands of jobs. One of those states is Alabama, whose governor has already met face-to-face with Boeing officials.
There is a lot of history in Huntsville, Alabama - some of it old and a lot of it, not very old at all.
Huntsville, the high tech town, grew out of WWII and the famous Redstone arsenal and is a big part of America s space program. Boeing s been part of that for a half century.
Among the red dirt and the cotton fields, Boeing employs a few thousand people. In fact, the engineering teams are already there and will be designing pieces of the 777X.
We have a city of about 180,000 folks, said John Hamilton
Hamilton is now the city s new administrator. He was recently a senior officer in the arsenal and he believes Huntsville could build the 777X. It has the brain power.
Some of those are in the defense business. Some of those are in support of NASA, he said.
And there s a half million people in Madison County alone to draw from to assemble it.
We believe the work force is available and they ll come from a long way for these types of jobs, said Hamilton.
If Boeing builds a jet in Alabama, it won t be the first. Near the Gulf Coast outside of Mobile, Airbus is already constructing a factory to build A320 passenger jets that compete against Boeing s 737. And now Alabama s governor says he s ready to reel in another airplane prize.
We do believe we offer in Alabama something very special, especially around the Huntsville area, said Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, after speaking to a business group in Birmingham about his discussions with Boeing.
I really do believe they're serious, said Bentley.

Dead Ringer™ is a larger-than-life American IPA with a hop aroma so thick you can almost see it. American base malt and crystal malt create the big body and supporting grainy sweetness, while charge after charge of 100% Centennial hops deliver pronounced bitterness with a dominant citrus aroma and flavor. In the glass you get a pale amber color, hop intensity and malt density - substance with the soul of a session beer.
April 2011: Same recipe, new name - Dead Ringer™ is an homage to a benchmark of the American IPA style that's brewed in Michigan. This kit has been a customer favorite for a decade, but this spring we had to change the name after receiving a letter from a lawyer representing the brewery. While the name may be new to our customers, the recipe is exactly the same and is still the same kit that's close to your hearts.
Recommended: 2-stage fermentation and yeast starter.

Browse 5 questions and 5 answersShow all answers | Sort byHow does it taste?Best Answer: The Dead Ringer is a full-on citrus explosion. A clean, strong backbone of American malts lends a more balanced beer than is typical of your new age West Coast style IPA.Who did the artwork for the label? Can I purchase labels?Is this a clone of Bell's Two Hearted recipe?Best Answer: Well, it's a Dead Ringer to another popular midwestern beer, you can take that answer To Heart.Do I need a bag for dry hopping?Best Answer: Some folks prefer to use a bag, but it's certainly not necessary and can be difficult with the narrow opening of a standard carboy. If you choose to use a bag, it should be weighted down with glass marbles or stainless steel nuts (make sure they are stainless) to keep it under the surface of the beer. Thoroughly sanitize the bag and any weights before adding them to your fermentor.How hard is it to dry hop?Best Answer: Dry hopping is easy. You can just dump the hops into your fermentor once the initial fermentation is complete.
