University of Southern California stripped of '04 BCS national championship - ESPN Los Angeles
The BCS stripped USC of its 2004 national title Monday.
The decision was not unexpected but required the NCAA's May 26 rejection of USC's appeal of sanctions stemming from the Reggie Bush investigation to move forward.
The BCS ruling vacated the results of the 2005 Orange Bowl -- the national title game for 2004 -- as well as the Trojans participation in the 2006 Rose Bowl, in which USC lost to Texas in the championship game.
As a result of the BCS's Presidential Oversight Committee ruling, there will be no BCS national champion in the record book for the 2004-05 season.
"The BCS arrangement crowns a national champion, and the BCS games are showcase events for postseason football," BCS executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement. "One of the best ways of ensuring that they remain so is for us to foster full compliance with NCAA rules. Accordingly, in keeping with the NCAA's recent action, USC's appearances are being vacated.
"This action reflects the scope of the BCS arrangement and is consistent with the NCAA's approach when it subsequently discovers infractions by institutions whose teams have played in NCAA championship events."
The BCS and NCAA are not formally affiliated, but the BCS reacted to the NCAA finding that Bush was ineligible during the 2004 season because he received extra benefits from a would-be sports marketer.
"This was not an unexpected outcome," USC athletic director Pat Haden said. "We will comply with all requirements mandated by the result of this BCS vote."

First I would like to say now that the game has gone F2P its not making anymore from Free players at all, and the only way to do that is the C-Store.
I know current paying players (Self included) want thing that they have been waiting for for a long time
But perfect world/cryptic has to make some money by placing things in the store that will sell for sure.
Like the New Energy Tokens that increase silver players energy to 1 billion. We will see a lot more things for Silver Players within the next few C-Store updates.
Personally thinking the Store need yet other update, Give paying (Gold) members a discount when buying from there, having a Gold Members area in the shop for us to buy member only items (would help silver to go gold.
I could go on and on lol, but I will stop

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Gold and gold miner stocks have underperformed in 2012 disappointing most traders. That being said it has traded in a large sideways range since September 2011 and remains stuck in this range as of this week. Investments trading sideways are not my preferred investment of choice because some commodities and stocks for that matter can trade sideways for years before making another bull market rally.
That being said in the last six months gold has started to show life that a new bull market may be starting. The new year is starting to look as though gold, silver and precious metals miners could lead the market higher if they can break out of their basing patterns. Until we get more bullish price action I am not planning to get long.

Grossmont education program has grown since 1946 into 1,800 classes at 100 locations
"Don't let the scene hit you," Webb ordered Barraza and Preston when they came upon classmate Katie Schnautz, 22, lying on the classroom floor, dressed in a black and red micro mini and leopard print stiletto heels, ersatz blood oozing from her neck. "When you feel the awkward silence, start talking to one another."
Working in unison, Barraza applied pressure to Schnautz's wound as Preston wrapped a blood pressure cuff around her arm. All went smoothly until, on the count of three, the stretcher refused to lock in place and kept collapsing.
"It was stressful and fun," Preston said after the exercise.
Schnautz said the EMT class is her first step toward what she hopes is a career as a certified nursing assistant. When it was her turn to be an EMT in role play, she arrived at a scene where a man's hand had been severed. She had to find it and pack it in ice for the ambulance ride to the hospital.
"The environment Trish provides makes it real," Schnautz said of her professor. "She prepares us for what to expect book-wise and experience-wise."

Jordan McRae On Cuonzo Martin's Treatment At Tennessee: "Can't Treat People Any Kind Of Way And Expect Good In Return"
Cuonzo Martin's sudden departure from Tennessee was a surprise, but probably not totally unexpected based on how Martin was received earlier this season, before Tennessee's run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

Radio Station Owners Like Allan Weiner Broadcast Hate, Claim they Love Free Speech
Behind shortwave hate radio is a group of entrepreneurial station owners who claim they love free speech
By James Latham
Though shortwave radio beams in under most people's radar in the media-saturated United States, it is one of the most powerful tools for communicating with a worldwide audience.
Exact audience numbers are hard to come by, since there are no Arbitron ratings for shortwave. But Groupe France Telecom, the communications arm of the French government, published a report last year estimating that at any given moment, over 200 million receivers are tuned in to shortwave broadcasts.
With much of the world unwired for the Internet, the agency concluded, "Shortwave remains the only means of reaching a broad audience anywhere in the world."
Thousands of people tune into shortwave broadcasts as a way to learn English. Thousands of others, living in countries with authoritarian regimes, look to their shortwave receivers for an even more pressing reason: They want objective news sources.
What they will get, if they dial up WWCR out of Nashville, Tenn., might be the peculiar spin of Brother R.G. Stair.
A self-proclaimed "prophet of God," Stair sends out doomsday scenarios from the otherwise sleepy town of Walterboro, S.C., twenty-four hours a day on one of WWCR's four 100,000-watt transmitters.
Much of Stair's airtime is devoted to claiming that disasters — both natural and terrorist — are being caused by America's growing acceptance of homosexuality.
In 1999, he gave this example: "The last two Gay Pride days have resulted in an awesome earthquake that shook the entire Western area of the country and a flood that devastated the entire Midwest."
George McClintock, general manager of WWCR, told the Intelligence Report that Stair's views on homosexuality "are from a Biblical point of view. And according to the Constitution, he has a right to that point of view."
Stair doesn't stop with gay people. He has also targeted Catholics, calling them "Mary worshippers" and labeling the pope "the great whore."
That doesn't seem to phase McClintock, either, despite the fact that he is himself a Catholic.
"Those programs are a relatively small portion of what we do," he said. Besides, McClintock said, "Our job is not to make judgment calls."
What Would Ross Say?
Judgment calls abound on some of WWCR's programs. While Stair rains hellfire on gays, Catholics and those who tolerate them, Pete Peters preaches the anti-Semitic, homophobic word of Christian Identity with even more authority — and fire — than Pastor Bob Hallstrom.
Peters, who founded the La Porte Church of Christ in Colorado, hosts two shows on WWCR-3, "Healthy Trinity Today" and "Scriptures for America."
On the latter, Peters instructed a caller in 1997 on the proper etiquette to follow: "If you're going to talk about Jews on my program, talk about them as Antichrist Jews."
Though Peters has been a leading figure in the movement for more than two decades, McClintock insisted that Peters "does not" preach Christian Identity.
"He lives out in a ranch in Colo... whatever it is out there in the Midwest, kind of isolated, and I think the worst you can say about him is he's living in the 1950s, kind of a Ross Perot individual."
Perot might not relish the comparison.
Peters' Colorado church first came to national notice in 1985, when it was revealed that several members of The Order, the most violent far-right terrorist group of the '80s (see The Firebrand), had attended during their criminal heyday.
Presumably because of the negative connotations attached to the term "Identity," Peters has recently disavowed the word — but he hasn't changed his message in any discernible way.
"Certain Jews of this day attempt to take the Israel truth labeled Identity and make it into racism, violence, Nazism and hatred in the minds of the populace," he wrote online in 2000.
"Now that the meaning has been transformed by our enemies, it is now foolish for one to call himself an 'Identity Christian.'"
For lack of a better term, Peters has taken to calling himself part of "the restoration movement now underway."
While McClintock is unruffled by Peters' hate-mongering, one of WWCR's most famous clients, the conservative religious group Focus on the Family, professed shock when they learned of the views that Peters espouses on air.
"Gosh," said press officer Paul Hetrick, "the Bible teaches just the opposite. That is unbelievable."
Hetrick said he intended to check into WWCR's programming, since the Rev. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, was airing his daily 30-minute show in English and Spanish on WWCR-1. Less than a week later, Hetrick called to say his research was done.
"We are sending a letter asking them to stop or discontinue airing our program," he told the Intelligence Report. "We want to express our appreciation to you for calling this to our attention."
'Say Anything'
If station owners conveniently discount the impact their hate-filled shows can have on listeners, then they might want to talk to Pete Peters.
The pastor from Laporte credits radio with indoctrinating him into Christian Identity. As he tells it, it all started on a drive one lonely night, when a young Peters turned his dial to the blaring voice of a preacher.
That voice happened to belong to Sheldon Emry, who carried the torch for Christian Identity over AM radio stations from the mid-1960s through the 1970s.
Hearing Emry on the radio that night changed Peters' life forever.
Another radio fan, Timothy McVeigh, might tell a similar story if he could be reached for comment.
Most people know the Oklahoma City bomber was a big fan of William Pierce, who in addition to his broadcasting efforts wrote The Turner Diaries, the pseudonymous novel that helped inspire McVeigh's mass murder.
Fewer know about McVeigh's other shortwave hero, William Cooper, whose "Hour of the Time" served up global conspiracy paranoia, complete with UFOs, most nights on shortwave stations including WWCR and WBCQ.
When he wasn't concocting a conspiracy, Cooper was recommending remedies: "I think the American people ought to go there bodily, rip down the United Nations building and kick those bastards off our soil," he once proclaimed on WWCR. "We're at war and I don't really care."
Supposedly quoting the Clinton White House, Rush Limbaugh called Cooper "the most dangerous radio host in America" after the Murrah Building was bombed.
James Nichols, brother of McVeigh's co-defendant Terry Nichols, said during a 1996 court proceeding that McVeigh had regularly tuned in to Cooper's programs in the months leading up to Oklahoma City.
"Hour of the Time" came to a halt last November, when its host was killed in a shootout after critically wounding an Arizona sheriff's deputy.
Cooper had holed up in Eagar, Ariz., since 1998, broadcasting relentlessly and claiming on the air that he had been pursued by "Nazi jack-booted thugs" ever since he failed to appear in court on charges that he paid no taxes from 1992 to 1994.
His death came when authorities tried to arrest him on another warrant — this one accusing him of aggravated assault on a passerby.
For more than a month after the death of the shortwave extremist, Allan Weiner aired selections from Cooper's old programs on WBCQ.
While that didn't do much for his reputation as a purveyor of "peace, love and understanding," it did provide still further proof of Weiner's unguarded view of shortwave radio: "You can just about get on the air and say anything you want."
James Latham is the co-founder of Radio for Peace International (RFPI), a shortwave radio station based outside El Rodeo, Costa Rica, since 1987. He is also the host of "Far Right Radio Review," a show that seeks to expose extremists and their hateful programming on shortwave radio.

Hip-Hop Mag Rates Rappers' 'Jew-Friendliness'
Cam'ron leads with five Stars of David
The online hip-hop magazine XXL has known at least since May that there are Jewish rappers out there; now its editors have taken the almost ADL-ish step of ranking the "Jew-friendliness" of several non-Jewish artists on a scale of one to five Stars of David. Coming in first, with five Magen Davids, is Cam'ron, for creating a sitcom he describes as a "black Curb Your Enthusiasm" and referring to his fans as "yentas" in a music video. Asher Roth trails him with three stars, which he garnered for actually having a Jewish father and a Hebrew name. RZA gets two stars for appearing in Funny People alongside Seth Rogen and Adam Sandle, as does Soulja Boy, for the line "I just got a new deal, and I ain't talking pickle" (because, says XXL, "pickles and money, what's more Jewish than that?"). Erykah Badu's former boyfriend Jay Electronica apparently sometimes goes as Jay ElectHanukkah and Jay ElectYarmulke, for which he receives a measly one star. And Shyne, who was recently deported to Belize, is pronounced "more Jewish than anyone else on this list" for sporting what appear to be tzitis. XXL misidentifies them as a tallis.

Census 2011: The New Paranoia in South Africa
Posted by: Jawellnofine on Oct 10, 2011
Tagged in: walled residences , united nations , TAX , social , political , patriach , leadership , immigration , Government , census
South Africans have been gripped by a new paranoia. It is called Census 2011.
Census 2011 is the third census count since 1994 – the first being in 1996 then 2001. The ethos behind Census 2011 is based on the United Nations census 2010 programme called The Population and Housing Census Programme that was initiated in 2006.
An integrated approach has been used to develop the Census 2011 strategy. "The process has involved tapping the views of diverse stakeholders at national and provincial levels as well as recognizance of international best practice."
Census 2011 has the following ideals:
"Vision: To be an acclaimed leader in conducting quality censuses.
Mission: To plan, collect, process, analyse and disseminate high quality data by ensuring full participation of all stakeholders and effective and efficient count of every person in the country through the establishment of a culture of continuous evaluation and improvement.
Goal: To ensure that everyone who spent the census night in the country is counted."
Now that in itself is a noble approach to the thorny challenges present in the South African Society: residential security measures e.g. walled in residences, long working hours e.g. leave early return late, overriding social suspicion, lack of governmental leadership e.g. just do as we ask, wide spread informal settlements, worry over tax and or immigration status, etc.
It is the social suspicion that is so rampant is South Africa that amuses me the most. Not only are some sectors of the social environment more susceptible to this type of sickness but are downright destructive about it as well. From 'they will not come into my house,' to 'they can wait for me,' are common phrases doing the rounds.
I have also heard rumors such as 'they are using pencils to fill in the questionnaire' and 'why do they need my signature on the questionnaire'? These two, I must admit, are bothersome per se. Why use a pencil and why must I sign the questionnaire; are these things not supposed to be anonymous and confidential? Not that the governmental spin lends any credence to the issue: 'it is in case they make mistakes' and 'so that they have physical proof that they were at a given residence when they put in their expenses claim'!?
I understand why national census must be undertaken on a regular basis. Knowledge of social demographics is paramount to any successful business and government is no different. It needs the information to be able to plan ahead successfully. What I don't understand is the parochial marketing strategy behind the whole exercise; telling the public to just 'stand up and be counted' does not cut-it in modern social norms. It is like the old marketing axiom of 'it is the right thing to do.' Is it?
Modern life is opinionated, knowledge abundant and negatively transmitted across many mediums and formats in a blink (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc.) The fact is that the people need to know more and more. Information is king. The people need to be Educated rather than instructed.
Personally I don't have a problem or issue with the whole census undertaking. I have learnt where to bend the rules and to where apply common sense when divulging sensitive information; although I must add that I also know that anyone who works or has a credit account is susceptible to information theft by almost anyone.
Making the lives of the poor enumerators difficult will not solve anything. Maybe this time, doing the right thing is the correct thing to do.

Edwin Jackson has chosen to sign with the Chicago Cubs. Four-years and $52 million are pretty good reasons. Multiple teams had interst in the 29-year-old but yesterday the bidding was between the Cubs and Texas Rangers. In Chicago, Jackson will join a staff that includes Matt Garza, Jeff Samardzija, Scott Feldman and Travis Wood. The team also has Scott Baker who should return in May. It is quite an increase for Jackson after he took a one-year deal worth $11 million from Washington last season. He finished the year 10-11 with a 4.01 ERA. He was the only member of the Nationals staff to have a losing record and his ERA was the highest among anyone who made more then six starts. The Cubs are in the second season of a rebuilding plan with general manager Jed Hoyer and team president Theo Epstein. Last season the Cubs lost 101 games, finishing with their worst record since 1966.

Craig Gardner has welcomed the arrival at Sunderland of Carlos Cuellar from Aston Villa.
Gardner believes the fact the 30-year-old has played for manager Martin O'Neill previously will help him settle straight in at the Stadium of Light.
The midfielder told the Birmingham Mail: "Carlos knows what the gaffer wants, which is crucial, and his drive and enthusiasm for the game are unbelievable.
"I was with Carlos for two years at Villa.
"He is a top lad – solid, strong and he is a really nice lad to have around the place.
"All the lads have welcomed him and he is enjoying it. "He has a lot of experience from playing in Spain and at Villa.
"He always talks – although you might not be able to understand him at times! – and he makes sure everyone stays on their toes."

Hundreds of youth from around the country echoed remarks of national solidarity while participating in day one of the National Youth Retreat organized by Imbuto Foundation and Ministry of Youth and ICT in Musanze. Held under the theme 'Twahisemo' or '20 years-We chose', and inspired by the speech of President Paul Kagame during his address at the 20th Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, the theme reflects the three choices Rwandans made after the Liberation struggle: staying together, being accountable, and thinking big.
"We staying together shouldn't be an option but rather a must," said Irene Irakoze, a participant from Huye, as he echoed the message of his peers at the retreat.
"If Rwanda is to achieve the targets it has set, then unity is paramount for us to achieve them," said Frank Abaho from Muhanga, as he referred to the country's Vision 2020 goals and EDPRSII projects.
Speaking during the opening ceremony of this three day retreat, the mayor of Musanze, Eugene Muzuka, asked the youth to be responsible for one another as it will enable Rwanda defeat its enemies and propel forward.
"Only by being responsible for one another, can our country move forward," said the Mayor.
The head of the college of arts and sciences at the University of Rwanda Huye campus, Usta Kayitesi, emphasized the essence of "Ndi Umunyarwanda," and its importance to the future and youth of this country. "What is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing," Kayitesi said, as he asked the youth not to be bystanders, but to engage in doing good for the country.
The session ended with a conversation on the importance of the choices youth make in deciding their roles in the future of their country.
The youth engaged in two sessions regarding team building and the Essence of Ndi Umunyarwanda.
The retreat continues with day two that tackles two of the other choices made by Rwandans after Liberation 20 years ago, notably the need to think big and being accountable. Day three they will engage in the Global Umuganda.

Gaye children, Sony settle in 'Blurred Lines' case
NEW YORK (AP) - Marvin Gaye's children have settled claims against a music company owned by Sony over Robin Thicke's Grammy-nominated hit song "Blurred Lines."
The Gayes had accused EMI of not pursuing a copyright infringement case against Thicke because "Blurred Lines" has similarities to Gaye's "Got to Give It Up."
A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday granted Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye's dismissal of their lawsuit against EMI, which is owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Documents say the Gayes and Sony have an agreement and claims against Sony can't be brought again. A representative for the Gaye family said the terms of the settlement were confidential.
Dueling lawsuits between the Gaye family and Thicke remain active.
Thicke and his collaborators T.I. and Pharrell Williams asked a federal judge in August to rule they didn't copy "Got to Give It Up" for "Blurred Lines," which is nominated for record of the year and other awards at the Jan. 26 Grammy Awards. Their song has sold 6.6 million tracks and was last year's biggest hit. It spent 12 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Gaye's children accused the performers in October of copying elements of his music for "Blurred Lines." Their lawsuit sought to block Thicke from using elements of their father's music in other songs and claimed Thicke improperly used Gaye's "After the Dance" for his No. 1 R&B hit "Love After War."
Representatives for Sony and Thicke didn't immediately reply to emails seeking comment on Tuesday. A representative for Gaye's children said in a statement they hope "the infringement claims will be resolved swiftly and in an appropriate manner."
Marvin Gaye, whose other hit songs include "Sexual Healing" and "Let's Get It On," was shot dead by his father in 1984. The family's statement said they plan on celebrating the late singer's 75th birthday this year.

Major troop decisions for Afghan war await Obama
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell told reporters that Obama and his national security team are still discussing their Afghanistan strategy and how it will take shape.
Fundamentally, Morrell said, it will be a counterinsurgency fight and the next president, advised by Gates and his military leaders, "will ultimately come to some understanding about where this president wants to lead the mission in Afghanistan."
A second challenge, is how to meet the need for various support forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Under a U.S.-Iraq security agreement, American combat forces must be out of Iraqi cities by June, and out of the country by 2011. But support forces – ranging from intelligence and surveillance experts to engineers and logistics personnel – are specialists the Iraqis don't have and will continue to need.
At the same time, those are the same forces McKiernan needs in Afghanistan to build the infrastructure for his growing force and to enhance surveillance, particularly along the Pakistan border.
Pentagon officials have said they plan to send up to 30,000 additional troops to the Afghan war, including four combat brigades and thousands of support forces. Of those, Gates said three brigades and some of the support troops will go in by summer. A brigade is roughly 3,500 troops.
Even as decisions on major units have been delayed, Gates this week approved the deployment of about 2,000 new support troops to Afghanistan, including about 660 Navy sailors from a construction and engineering unit based in Gulfport, Miss. The others include military police, medical personnel and other logistics specialists, senior military officials said.
The sailors – known as Seabees – can deploy quickly for emergencies or disasters to build roads, bridges and other facilities. A few hundred Seabees serving in Kuwait have already been transferred to Afghanistan, according to the Navy.
There are currently 33,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, including 15,000 with the NATO-led coalition and 18,000 fighting insurgents and training the Afghan army and police. There are 142,000 U.S. troops in Iraq – still more than the total there before the force build-up which began in early 2007, and is credited in part for the decline in violence.
Future troops levels also depend on the outcome of several military reviews of the Afghanistan strategy that are under way or recently completed, including a key administration study that Bush officials expect to deliver to the Obama White House.
By the end of the month, Gates is expected to approve the deployment of the Camp Lejeune, N.C.-based 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade to Afghanistan. But senior officials say they are still working out the numbers. A MEB can vary in size and makeup, and can swell to as many as 20,000 Marines, although a total that high is unlikely.

Iran's Rowhani seeks 'constructive interaction'
TEHRAN, Iran — Just weeks after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election victory in 2005, Iran's top nuclear negotiator Hasan Rowhani stepped down from the post after quarrelsome meetings with the new president.
The decision cemented Rowhani's reputation as a moderate who rejected Ahmadinejad's combative approach in world affairs in favor of the more nuanced philosophy of Ahmadinejad's leading political foe, former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
Rafsanjani was rejected by Iran's election guardians from Friday's presidential ballot. But for many reformists and liberals in Iran, the 64-year-old Rowhani is somewhat of a mirror image of the elder Rafsanjani by reflecting his outlook that Iran can maintain its nuclear program and ease tensions with the West at the same time.
Rowhani held a wide lead in early vote counting Saturday.
"Rafsanjani was really the only choice to re-energize reformists," said Rasool Nafisi, an Iranian affairs analyst at Strayer University in Virginia. "Rowhani only got their support because he is seen as Rafsanjani's man and a vote for Rowhani was a vote for Rafsanjani."
This deep connection between the two men could give a potential Rowhani presidency a dual nature: Rowhani as the public face and Rafsanjani behind the scenes as its powerful godfather and protector.
Although all key policies such the nuclear program are directed by the ruling clerics, the alliance with Rafsanjani may give Rowhani more latitude to put his stamp on Iran's negotiation tactics with world powers after four rounds of talks since last year have failed to make any significant headway.
At campaign rallies, Rowhani has pledged to seek "constructive interaction with the world" that includes efforts to ease Western concerns about Iran's program and lift punishing international sanctions that have pummeled the economy. The West and its allies fear Iran could be moving toward development of a nuclear weapon. Iranian officials, including Rowhani, insist that the country only seeks nuclear reactors for energy and medical applications.
"We won't let the past eight years be continued," Rowhani told a cheering crowd last week in a clear reference to Ahmadinejad's back-to-back terms. "They brought sanctions for the country. Yet, they are proud of it. I'll pursue a policy of reconciliation and peace. We will also reconcile with the world."
Rowhani — the only cleric in the six-candidate presidential field — started religious studies at a teenager. He soon established himself as an outspoken opponent of the Western-backed shah, traveling frequently for anti-monarchy speeches and sermons that caught the attention of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the eventual leader of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Rowhani later graduated from Tehran University with a law degree in 1972. He then went abroad to Glasgow Caledonian University for a master's degree in legal affairs, according to his campaign biography.
While outside Iran, the stirrings of the Islamic Revolution were growing stronger. Rowhani returned to Iran and stepped up his denunciations of the shah, but fled the country to avoid arrest. He then joined up with Khomeini, who was in self-exile in France, and the rest of his inner circle, including Rafsanjani.
After the revolution, Rowhani rose quickly with various roles, including reorganizing the military, serving in the new parliament and overseeing the state broadcaster, which became a valued mouthpiece for Khomeini.
He strengthened his ties to Rafsanjani during the 1980-88 war with Iraq and, later, as Rafsanjani's top national security adviser during his 1989-97 terms. Rowhani continued the role with reformist President Mohammad Khatami, who also appointed Rowhani as the country's first nuclear envoy.
Rowhani took over the nuclear portfolio in 2003, a year after Iran's 20-year-old nuclear program was revealed. Iran later temporarily suspended all uranium enrichment-related activities to avoid possible sanctions from the U.N. Security Council.
Ahmadinejad strongly opposed any such concessions and deal-making. He also had carry-over friction with Rowhani, who backed his mentor Rafsanjani against Ahmadinejad in the 2005 race.
Rowhani resigned as nuclear negotiator and head of the Supreme National Security Council after a few testy postelection meetings with Ahmadinejad.
In his campaign stops, Rowhani had been careful not to directly confront authorities over crackdowns since Ahmadinejad's disputed 2009 election. But Rowhani was seen as clearly siding with Ahmadinejad's reform-minded opponent four years ago, Green Movement leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who was placed under house arrest in early 2011 along with fellow opposition candidate Mahdi Karroubi.
Taking a page from Mousavi's color-branded campaign, Rowhani adopted purple for his run for the presidency. It also brought some backlash, including several supporters arrested at a rally that brought cries from the crowd for the release of Mousavi and Karroubi.
At Rowhani's final campaign event earlier this week, chants rang out: "Love live reforms."

At The Believer, I talked visual art, music and making things with Shannon Shaw of Shannon and the Clams, Greer McGettrick from The Mallard, and Hannah Lew of Cold Beat. These are smart, talented musicians who offer many fascinating insights into the creativity and creative cycles. You can read it here. HANNAH LEW: I think abstracting on our reality and making our own shapes out of our feelings and responses to our world is vital to our understanding. If we don't include our emotional responses to things into our vocabulary about our temporal existence, we can't really move forward as a society. You can get away with confronting a lot of taboo subject matter within the realm of abstraction and reproduction that you can't in normal dialogue. There is a lot of truth telling by way of telling lies, which is all an artist is really ever doing.

When The Meat Puppets Reunited After An 11-Year Hiatus

Here's a feature I wrote in 2007 for the now-defunct music magazine Harp. It covers The Meat Puppets' return to touring and recording, from the Kirkwood brothers' first live gig together in eleven-years, to their first new studio album, Rise To Your Knees. As a longtime Meat Puppets fan and a native of Phoenix, Arizona, I had a lot of fun talking to Curt Kirkwood, catching two shows at SXSW, and narrating the band's life on the page. (The accompanying photo was snapped next to me at the second show.) The Puppets are still touring, still recording, and still as creative and original as ever. For fellow Puppets fans, here's the article, rescued from its paper grave:

Nothing Is Strange
A trip to Murakami's jazz club
Before he became a novelist, Haruki Murakami was a jazz fan. He got into it when he was fifteen, after seeing Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers perform in Kobe in January 1964.The lineup that night was of one of the most celebrated in the band's three decades of existence, featuring Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Wayne Shorter on sax, and Cedar Walton on piano. "I had never heard such amazing music," Murakami later said. "I was hooked." Ten years later, he postponed his university studies to open a jazz club in suburban Tokyo, naming it Peter Cat, after one of his pets. In 1977, he and his wife, Yoko, moved the club to Tokyo's central Sendagaya neighborhood, where he wrote his first two novels, which led to later books whose titles referenced doo-wop like the Dells' "Dance Dance Dance" and jazz tunes like Fuller's "Five Spot After Dark." The music equally influenced his writing style, which he sometimes conceived in terms of jazz rhythm, improvisation, and performance. Continue reading here…

The Oxford American published an article I wrote about Dex Romweber of Flat Duo Jets: http://www.oxfordamerican.org/articles/2012/jun/11/profile-dex-romweber/
Dex is one of my all-time favorite musicians. I'd long wanted to write something that did him at least a bit of the justice his talent and good-heart deserve, and I wanted to do it in a magazine that people who didn't know about him might actually read. The Oxford American is widely read and one of my favorite magazines, so it was the perfect fit. Dex deserves billions of fans. I hope this article helps lead a few more people to his music. Cheers to Dex.
As a bonus, here's video of a full Flat Duo Jets show from the final period of the band's life:

Madison Square Garden… of Squalor
Phoenix's Premier '80s Punk Dump
If you think the original incarnation of punk rock passed entirely over Phoenix, you just weren't there. I wasn't there either – I was in elementary school – but apparently 1979-1984 were the golden years, and at the center of it all sat Mad Garden. Short for Madison Square Garden, this seminal punk club took its name not only from the New York landmark, but from a cavernous, 1929, brick wrestling and boxing arena on 7th Ave and Van Buren Street. When Tony Victor, owner of Placebo Records, the Valley's sole, period punk label, started booking shows in '81, he booked them at another old wrestling dive. It stood on 37th Street and Van Buren, across from Bill Johnson's Big Apple, and it too was called Mad Garden.
Bands played in the wrestling ring at the building's center, setting their amps and drums on the padded floor between rubberized ropes. The stage wobbled during performances, adding visible bounce to the already agro musicians' antics. Scratched wooden bleachers lined walls decorated with black and white publicity photos of small-time, largely deceased wrestlers in period regalia. A chain link fence enclosed the stage in order to protect fans from flying wrestlers; a previous owner installed it after a wrestler landed on someone in the front row. Instead of protection, the fence provided the perfect monkey-bars for punks to climb during shows.
While London and NYC already boasted legendary punk scenes by 1975, Phoenix's started in '78 with the birth of The Consumers and largely ended with Mad Garden's closing in '84. In the interim, local bands like JFA, The Feederz and Mighty Sphincter left a lasting impression on their generation, with Mad Garden serving as the center of the action. For big-name touring acts, the rowdy ring provided a reliable playground. Everyone played there: Bad Brains, Black Flag, Violent Femmes, The Minutemen, Butthole Surfers, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Husker Dü, and, of course, locals like Meat Puppets, Victory Acres and Sun City Girls. Mad Garden was, as JFA's singer Brian Brannon sang in a song penned specifically for the club's closing night, "A hall where weirdoes sometimes wrestle/A fitting place for us freaks to nestle." The word 'freaks' was key. That early crowd wasn't punk in the formulaic fashion sense – liberty spikes, combat boots, Clash patches on jean jackets – it was diverse, equal parts skater, student and New Wave.
Victor made a natural booking agent. His uncle leased the 37th Street building for wrestling events, and being a music fan with a bassist for a business partner, Victor knew all the angles: keep covers cheap and Mad Garden BYOB so minors could attend; blanket the city with hand-drawn fliers; use your uncle's karate school employees as security; then sell beer inside where cops couldn't see. The result was a grubby, grassroots, communal atmosphere that one clubber described as "the rowdy punk rock equivalent of the company family picnic." Like any killer picnic, though, the ants eventually arrived to carry off the food.
Police surveillance, obstinate neighbors and a raucous parking lot party squad sealed The Garden's fate. Fire regulations kept crowds under 350, but a few gigs, like two back-to-back Dead Kennedys shows, drew over 500 people, along with the Fire Marshall. Despite fliers bearing desperate warnings ("Please! Help keep the Garden from closing down! Don't show up until you're actually ready to go inside!! Okay?") The Garden closed in January, 1984, after a beer-soaked, full-house, adrenalized goodbye gig featuring JFA, TSOL and Crucifucks.
Then the building became a Spanish bible study center. Or was it a plastic flower warehouse? It depends who you ask.

Farrah Abraham is the latest celebrity who has been rejected by Playboy magazine, leading a short list of women who Hugh Hefner & co. just don't want to see.
While the magazine does feature women around Farrah's age on its pages, usually they're a bit more natural looking.
Farrah denied the reports on Twitter though, saying, "Really laughing at all the blog lie drama about Playboy, for the record "I never reached out" nor do I care, if it happens they can pay up."

A very long walk from the reception to the room. Small, clean room, tiny bathroom. Very basic place - food okay, but again, very average experience.

Unfortunately for our guests there will be long walks through the hotel to some of the rooms but that is sometimes a good and healthy thing to do...walking. ;)
However we should get better informing our guests of the distance and give them the choice of having a room not so far away. Just ask when checking in and we will try to do our best.

DS is 15 months old and about 27 lbs. He's been wearing brown edge GMD prefolds with Thirsties Duo / FLIP covers for months now. Everything I read says that brown edge should last to potty training, but they are just not wide enough anymore. I can't see the X-large diapers fitting inside the covers I have right now. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm picky about exposed laminate and prefer snaps over hook and loop. I'm not seeing anything to match that on Green Mountain Diapers website.

HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu has condemned the attacks on houses of his party leaders by Congressmen and accused the ruling party of making a "mockery of democracy" in Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy's own constituency - Pulivendula.
Mr. Naidu told a press conference here on Tuesday that Congressmen tried to prevent the TDP candidate from filing his nomination for the single window election at Velpula in the Pulivendula constituency. When TDP leader Satish Reddy intervened, Congress activists tried to attack him with weapons forcing his gunman to open fire in which two persons were killed.
`Bid to create terror'
He said following the incident, Congress workers went on the rampage and torched houses of several TDP leaders.
"This is atrocious. All democratic forces should condemn it. They don't want any Opposition and are trying to suppress/misuse official machinery, kidnap candidates and create confusion."
Dig at Congress
He accused the ruling party of attempting to wreck all democratic institutions.
On its part, the TDP during its regime had followed democratic norms.
Mr. Naidu said he had convened a meeting of TDP leaders to formulate the party's response to the incidents.
The party would fight the Congress "democratically." It was contemplating highlighting the issue at the national level since it happened in the Chief Minister's constituency.
The TDP president criticised Dr. Reddy for finding fault with the party for the incidents when a delegation met him earlier.
YSR under fire
Meanwhile, a TDP delegation expressed its unhappiness at the response of the Chief Minister to the violence.
A party delegation told reporters after meeting the Chief Minister that instead of offering a solution to resolve the crisis, Dr. Reddy asked them if he could withdraw the police gunman provided to Satish Kumar Reddy, TDP leader of Pulivendula. The team consisted of Y. Ramakrishnudu, Ummareddi Venkateswarlu, Kadiam Srihari and
E. Peddi Reddy.
These leaders alleged that the Pulivendula violence was part of a larger conspiracy to wipe out their party in the area.
They justified the firing by the gunman of Mr. Reddy in which two persons were killed.

School safety threats waste time and money, and students who make threats face serious consequences.
That's the message Catawba County school administrators and the sheriff say parents should teach their children, following a handful of safety hoaxes in the past month at several county schools.
In light of several apparent "copy cat" bomb hoaxes made at area schools in recent weeks, The Observer News Enterprise clarified its reporting policy on those types of false alarms.
"The O-N-E will not report on any bomb threat hoax that occurs at any school in our coverage area," said O-N-E Publisher Michael Willard. "We believe the proliferation of news stories reported by media outlets in Catawba County and throughout the region only serves to exacerbate a serious problem that wastes a significant amount of time for law enforcement and school administrators."
When Mary Furtado applied for the International City County Management Association (ICMA) Fellow program in 2004, she was asked to list the governments she most wanted to work with. Catawba County was at the top of her list.
Seven years later, she gets her wish.
Furtado will soon begin working as Catawba County's new assistant county manager.

Carolina had lost 12 consecutive road games since beating the Giants in New York on Dec. 27, 2009.

Now that Thanksgiving dinner is out of the way, the busy season has started for North Carolina's multimillion dollar Christmas tree industry.
Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler says fresh, state-grown Christmas trees will be available at stands and farmers markets this weekend, as well as at farms in the western part of the state, where most of the trees are grown.
Joey's Christmas Trees off 321 Business in Maiden set up trees at its stand this week. Richard Williams was busy drilling holes in the bottoms of trees to stand them up.

Ravens' Reed fined $55K, Panthers' Newton $31K
Updated: December 28, 2012, 5:26 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed was fined $55,000 by the NFL for his high hit on the New York Giants' Victor Cruz last weekend.
Reed struck the wide receiver in the head and neck area, and was penalized for the hit in the game. He had a one-game suspension for several helmet-to-helmet hits reduced to a $50,000 fine last month.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh was asked if Reed's punishment fit the penalty he was called for. Replays showed Reed lower his shoulder into Cruz, connecting ...

Several thousand people traveled winding back roads over the weekend to get to Isleton's "Cajun Festival," mostly to taste the traditional Cajun-style crawdads.
Even though Isleton sold its Crawdad Festival in 2009 to Red Bluff because of rowdy behavior and financial difficulties, organizers brought back the celebration last year under a different name with the idea that the appetite for crawdads remains undiminished.
And they offered a more family-friendly atmosphere.
"I think we're really doing a good job in bringing back the old festival," said Jean Yokotobi, festival coordinator and president of Isleton's Chamber of Commerce.
Festival organizers expected double the attendance from last year, but Saturday fell short of expectations. Yokotobi attributed the lackluster numbers to the extreme heat spike.
"Even I was distressed in the heat," she said.
Jessica Becerra, chamber treasurer, said Sunday's cooling Delta breezes blew in many more attendees than the previous year's Father's Day.
Yokotobi pronounced the two-day run a success but said that the festival needs to run for five years to set the pace.
Red Bluff's festival was held two weeks ago. In Isleton, the festival featured family-oriented entertainment, including clowns and a magician.
One particularly notable difference between the old and new festival was the origin of the crawdads.
Previously, the crawfish were mostly from Louisiana, and they arrived at the festival live. The new supplier, Ted's Meat from Stockton, shipped in frozen, pre-cooked – but wild-caught – crawfish from China. Festival cooks seasoned them with Cajun spices.
"They're not as juicy as they used to be," said Bob Watson, who came with his family from Newark. But he attributed that to smaller cooking vats. When he found out that the crawfish came from China, he said, "That doesn't change anything."
But Trisha Yarborough, who has been at Isleton's festival with her family every year since she was a toddler, thought the fresh crawfish tasted better.
"It doesn't make me happy that they're from China," she said. "I'd rather them be local or from Louisiana for some authenticity."
She might not be able to get that. Yokotobi said that the festival organizers contacted a local vendor first, but the volume of demand was too high for the supply.
"Actually, I got a call from Louisiana asking us if we had any crawfish," she said. "The hurricane really affected availability, and there's a shortage."
The crawdad vendor had brisk sales Sunday, and people even asked to buy the boxes of crawfish frozen to take home.
"It's kind of odd knowing they're from China, but we're going to have them anyway," said Dean Halstead of Sacramento.
