Stephen Bowen suffered a difficult blow for any athlete, never-mind a defensive lineman that is inching up on 30 years old and counts 7 plus million dollars under his team's salary cap.
Bowen had micro-fracture surgery last December and is on the mend. It's been a tough couple of years grinding through injuries for Bowen, who has had PCL injuries to both knees, arthroscopic surgery on his left, micro-fracture on his right and just for good measure a torn upper bicep muscle late in 2012.
That being said, Bowen is on the way back. "It's coming along," he told ESPN 980 on Wednesday. "It was slow at first, but I'm starting to gain strength."
Bowen has a long way to go, but as most athletes are - he's confident he'll be ready for Richmond and training camp. "Absolutely, I think so." However, he cautioned "the main goal is to be ready for the season."
Even if Bowen is ready for training camp, it's very likely that he would be spotted quite a bit and would possibly even start camp on the pre-season PUP list, which is the only way that he can be transferred to the season PUP list if need be. Of course, with that designation, Bowen would not be able to practice even once.
Then there is the contract situation. It's not a pretty picture to be honest. According to OvertheCap.com (not official), Bowen has a base salary of 4.4 million, with a prorated bonus charge of 2.52 million. Add in 100,000 workout bonus, and you have a cap hit of 7.02 millon.
If the Redskins were to release Bowen (unlikely), they would incur a dead money charge of 5.04 million while saving 1.98 million.
The most likely scenario is to work with Bowen to take a pay-cut, similar to what the team did with several injured veterans last off-season like Brandon Meriweather and Adam Carriker.
Bowen would not directly comment about this potential financial situation, but did add that when he's healthy "I think I do the job that's asked of me. For me I don't see too many 3-4 defensive ends that do it better than me."
Bowen looked me in the eye, a man who does not BS anything and said he's "very confident in my ability. I know Im still good."
Bowen is at Redskins Park daily rehabbing his injury and told ESPN 980 "I see myself coming back healthy, having an amazing year. I'm not done. I want to finish my career here. I just love the organization."
That love for the Redskins helped convince another new Redskins defensive lineman join the team, after proving his ground with the Dallas Cowboys.
Last week, Washington finally landed a big name. Jason Hatcher was a guy that the Redskins had targeted, but didn't set up a visit for immediately. It didn't matter. Hatcher agreed to a four-year, nearly 28 million dollar deal before he even ventured onto Redskins Park property.
"That's my best friend, Bowen said. A sentiment that Hatcher echoed on ESPN 980's "Inside the LockerRoom" last Friday. "It's more like we're brothers."
Bowen's prescence in Washington certainly helped, but more importantly - it's what a player who has done the same exact thing Hatcher has now done, feels about the past direction and current state of the Redskins franchise. That means something, when you trust the opinion of your friend.
"I think it was big," Bowen said. "We always talked about how it was to be on a different teams. Here (Washington) it's top notch." Bowen explained that public perception of the Redskins is different than the reality of the situation. "It's about how they run their business. They always welcome you with open arms. He loved it," Bowen said of Hatcher.
Everybody knows what Hatcher brings from a pass rushing standpoint. That's why the Redskins made the move, but Bowen says his new and old running mate has an "amazing motor." The tape shows that when you watch. Just check out some of the hustle plays that Hatcher made against the Redskins in the Week 5 Sunday Night Football game in Dallas.
"He's a very smart defensive lineman. He's very good with his hands, Bowen said. " He's very heavy handed."
The Redskins are finally deep along the defensive line and at least one familiar face might not be here. Washington signed Hatcher to presumably go along with Barry Cofield and Chris Baker on the starting defensive line. Obviously, certain factors can change that.
There's no guarantee that Cofield will even be the starting nose. He could be flipped with Baker, who is a natural pass-rushing nose tackle. Washington also signed Clifton Geathers, a 340 pound space plugging veteran. Kedric Golston and former 2nd round pick Jarvis Jenkins are also under contract.
When you throw in Bowen and Chris Neild, that's eight guys fitting into a likely maximum of seven spots. I believe the Redskins will carry seven this year, especially if they intend to be more versatile as opposed to the primary three down linemen fronts in their base package or "okie."
Regardless of who ultimately makes up the Redskins defensive line, there's no doubt that Jim Haslett will be much more aggressive in his attack plan.
Part of that plan was signing Hatcher. Part of that was re-signing Chris Baker. Baker told me on Wednesday of his new teammate Hatcher, "He's not going to be asked to stay in the B gap and play a tradional 3-4."
Hatcher's prescence along with Baker and Cofield should give the Redskins plenty of gas for a sustained pass rush, and leave plenty of options when Washington goes to their nickel package.
Bowen feels that the Redskins, a defensive line that only generated 5.5 sacks in 2013, can be the "most dominant D-line in the NFL."
Baker, never short on confidence says "I'll second that. We have a good group of veterans who are ready to take that next step from being good to great." Baker says it's a "group of guys entering their prime."
***Join Stephen Bowen and his Redskins teammates for a great night of bowling and fun for a great cause on Friday May 2, 2014 at Lucky Strike near Verizon Center. The event benefits "Skyler's Gift" , a charitable organization started by Bowen and his wife, after the death of his infant son.

Cigarette Tax Measure May Advance
Backers Say They Have Enough Signatures
(July 1, 2010)—
July 1, 2010
Backers of a state initiative that would increase cigarette taxes by $1 a pack to provide more than $500 million a year to prevent, detect and treat cancer said Thursday that they have gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot in 2012.
When former state Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata and other backers announced their plans for the initiative late last year, they said they hoped to get enough signatures to put it before voters this fall.
But they missed that deadline and now want to place it on the ballot in November 2012. They said they gathered 634,722 signatures, well above the total needed. The signatures need to be verified by the California secretary of state's office.
In addition to Perata, who is running for mayor of Oakland in the November election, the measure is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the American Cancer Action Network, the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association and the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids.
At a news conference at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute on Wednesday, supporters said Livestrong, bicyclist Lance Armstrong's anti-cancer foundation, also backs the measure.
David Veneziano, the chief executive of the California division of the American Cancer Society, said it's expected that the measure will raise more than $500 million a year to help the state's research community make advances in the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer, heart disease, stroke, emphysema and other smoking-related illnesses.
The money would go into a trust fund, and 60 percent would go toward research.
Twenty percent would fund smoking cessation efforts and campaigns to prevent tobacco use, 15 percent would pay for facilities and equipment to support research and 3 percent would help police enforce anti-tobacco laws and stop tobacco smuggling. No more than 2 percent would be spent on administrative costs.
A nine-member oversight committee made up of cancer researchers and health advocates would decide how the funds would be distributed.

State Rep. Franklin Sands explains his backing of a tax on bottled water
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Thursday) | Listen to this entire show:
On the first part of today's program: State Rep. Franklin Sands, D-Weston, has filed a bill in Tallahassee to collect a fee from bottled water companies that derive profits from the free pumping of millions of gallons of water daily from Floridaâs springs and other water bodies. Last week Sandsâ filed House Bill 781 which would charge large users of Florida's water supplies 5 cents a gallon. I spoke with him earlier today.comments powered by Disqus
CommentsWater Tax Issue
It's interesting that so many public issues involve corporate influence. My first thought was that the water unlike minerals where an individual purchases the land and has a right to the "gold" or "mineral" on that land, doesn't the water get sucked from a connecting system that extends over a large land mass? For this reason the sucking of water out of the aquifer would possibly be in fact taking water that does not belong to the corporation as it is not part of the land owned but in fact owned by the public and in addition it could be causing sinkholes in areas, not just above that land owned by the corporation but land belonging to others? This seems to be a problem that has been around for many years but for some reason just now become a public problem. In the course of expanding civilization there are many things that are done for years and gotten away with until they step on another's toes. For this reason we are supposed to have government to represent the interests of the people. In this case the government would (if honest) step in and put a stop to the "taking" of public water and set up a water plant to pump only enough water so not to cause sink holes and only to provide to the people who actually own the water. (Floridians) Once the demand is met to supply Floridians with their own water, the government would sell it to other areas and the money would discount the water to the Floridians. Obviously there is a flaw in the public water supply or people, like myself, would drink "tap" water and not feel they need to drink "other" water for health reasons. Isn't it a fact that the government has failed to handle the water problem for many years and now we have a public official wanting to "tax" a cooperation. I don't see how taxing will handle the problem of managing the "publicly owned" water. The corporation will just raise the price of the water and we will end up paying the tax when we purchase the water. It would be more logical to tax water being shipped out of Florida and at a "higher" tax rate. It could be that this politician, in need of doing seemingly positive things to justify getting voted into office at next term is pretending to fix the water problem with a tax. Isn't this admission that he cannot handle the real problem. (Like handling the problem of slavery by passing a "higher standards for slaves act") I feel that until we get honest representation in government we will continue to get these types of political shows that camouflage the real issues and divert our attention off of the real problem which in this case is "steeling public water". Taxing stolen goods - sounds more like a payoff to me.
Lance, do you get paid by the word?

GENERAL Motors has been forced to recall nearly 500 000 Cadillacs and pay an $11 million fine because the cars emit too much carbon monoxide. It is the first time cars have been recalled in the US for polluting the environment.
In 1990 Cadillac buyers complained that their cars stalled at low speeds. The company installed a new computer chip that allowed a richer mixture of fuel and air in the engine. The mixture solved the stalling problem but tripled the amount of carbon monoxide the car pumped into the atmosphere.
"It is simply not fair to burden people's health to improve the sales appeal of automobiles," says Attorney General Janet Reno. General Motors' vice-president, Dennis Minano, says the company settled the suit without a trial "to resolve the issue".
In addition to the fine, altering the vehicles will cost General Motors $30 million. It has also agreed to spend ...

McLEAN, Va. – UNITY: Journalists for Diversity, Inc. is deeply disappointed in the The New York Times' decision to continue using the term "illegal immigrant." Click here to view New York Times Article.
As the most diverse coalition of journalists from all backgrounds and nationalities, UNITY feels a special obligation to speak up for the immigrant readers and communities who aren't a part of these decisions and to remind the Times of how words have been used to malign and stereotype people as somehow less than American.
"As journalists and as members of minority groups, we understand better than most people the power of words to degrade and dehumanize those who are considered undesirable, and we urge the Times' editors to rethink their latest decision regarding the loaded word 'illegal,' " said UNITY President Tom Arviso, Jr.
While we appreciate the Times' desire to use language that is neutral and unbiased, we strongly believe that using the word "illegal" as an adjective or a noun absolutely takes sides in the immigration debate — by describing people only in terms of their immigration status and ability to live and work in the United States.
This is especially troubling coming from one of the world's most respected and influential media companies — and in light of the fact that many of these immigrants are ethnic and racial minorities who remain vastly underrepresented in America's newsrooms.
We urge The New York Times and other media organizations to consider the recommendations of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) to use the word "illegal" only to describe actions, not human beings. Or better yet, confine the word "illegal" to direct quotations, and drop the "I" word entirely.
About UNITY:
UNITY: Journalists for Diversity, an alliance of four journalism organizations representing more than 4,000 journalists, is the most diverse journalism organization in the nation. A coalition of the Asian American Journalists Association, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and the Native American Journalists Association, UNITY is a strategic alliance advocating fair and accurate news coverage about people of color and LGBT issues and aggressively challenges news organizations to increase diversity in whom they employ at all levels of their companies.

SA, Alaska, yes all planned someday so for sure hopefully we will meet up on the road.
Hmm interesting.. when I got my bike, it was already converted from 883 to 1200 with Buell racing Thunderstorm heads, high compression 10.5.1 pistons, and a performance cam of .536 lift. That would explain why it is a bit of gas guzzler. My engine converting project is to switch from Thunderstorm heads to 04-06 heads because of better air flowing and it has an unique chamber that can handle turbulence better than 07+ heads. I am going with forged aluminum pistons and H-D's 'W' cams (.504 lift I think??) to go with the set-up and that will allow the engine to handle as low as 82-84 octane fuel so if I wanted to use 87 instead of premium fuel, the engine will do just fine for me. What type of MPG will I get? I will find out soon enough! I'd probably stick to premium when it is really hot, though!
Wish you knew the history of your engine.. could be something simple such as cam switch that could make a difference in improved gas MPG. Nonetheless, it is still a fine machine and shouldn't give you any trouble!! And thank god we wouldn't have to do valve adjustment or anything like that beside oil/primary change and tightening bolts.

I realize it's not a sport bike or SST, but what is the fun factor when pushing this bike fast in the twisties? I care about the adrenaline rush much more than high speed. Although solid eye popping acceleration is always appreciated.
Well.... It is really great
. I live on a kibutz that is located on a very long twisting mountain road and have a blast every day with the bike.
My brother has been riding sport bikes for over 25 years and is very good at it. So good in fact that the police thinks he is too good for his own good
As my older brother he never has any thing good to say regarding my motorcycling ( a big brother thing) and since his last bike was a CBR 1000 RR ( with a lot of extra power That I can never understand what it is good for- little brother thing ) I was expecting a lot of shit when he took it for a spin on our road. He came back with a very suppressed big smile and said:
" Haaa, not enough power only 110 Hp I need my 185 HP" - big brother thing. Then he said: " but my god this thing flys through the corners . I think I could not do any better with the 1000RR" - Not a typical big brother thing
. The bottom line is this bike got a compliment from my brother and I am sure that realy hurt

I will still give you #15 Craig @ 184 and #9 Notte @ 125 for #14 Garnett and UR Arnone.
#9, #15 and Triggas for Garnett?
Nah I'm solid at HWT with Russo and Arnone. Not a bad offer though.
Zabriskie for Garnett?
I would do a 2nd round supplemental pick for Caputo but it looks like you have an offer already.
Day late on that one. I traded Askren and Ciasulli to Payton for Bradshaw & Gallick. Then traded Bradshaw to LoSt for Caputo.
Ellis for Askren or Patterson? You dont' need both and you could probably use an upgrade at heavy. I would consider Zabriskie but I would need Askren.
I hear you 100%. Kind of my strategy this year was to draft trade potential in 3 weights....and draft for the regular season everywhere else. If everything falls in line, I'll be in a comfortable spot to make some tournament trades LATER in the season.
Right now, I need to see some early season results before I deal my guys away. Patterson is a regular season gem and without Metcalf on my team this year, I need some consistent horse power. I do have both Patterson/Askren 184, Rebertus/Patrovich 174 and Arnone/Russo HWT which I will be dealing as early as Jan 1.
I am very high on Ellis, I just figure with Zabriskie AND he on my time, I am in a position of dealing and I consider them about the same but would consider them to both be two of the Top Three in the heavy division. Would you want Zabriskie instead? I am not saying I would do that but I would consider it. Its about the playoffs and then the NCAA's. If you feel strongly you have a playoff team like I do, I am going to go ahead and start positioning for the NCAA's and at the risk of some depth. Let me know, either way, no hard feelings. Its just fantasy!
I agree we should talk trade, but Ellis for Patterson? Patterson is going to possibly lead the league in points this year. Ellis has the risk of being a useful as tits on a boar. I would consider Rebertus or Patrovich. Both have AA potential....no champ potential like Ellis....but they also don't have the risk of not competing. I'm not high on Ellis as it is, but it sounds as if you're not either.
We should really talk trade. I would give you Ellis for Patterson and then we should just swap one of your heavies for my extra 184 Ward? That way I don't have 3 184's and you don't have 3 heavies.
email@example.com....thanks brother Grips.
Nah Ellis is OK, but he's got another guy who could win a national title on his team. He may not even start!
Is Ellis hurt? I haven't done my research but why is he still on the board.
Let's do LeBlanc and Porter for Metcalf and Biencevenga...?
close but no cigar. I'll do bencivenga. They're both pretty even on paper but I think accordino has more bonus upside. I'm guessing they'll win a couple matches a piece.
I will take Accordino for LeBlanc if you want to do that.
i would like to do it for this coming week if possible...i know you probably want winston in your line-up but I am assuming you have a back-up at that weight?
you want to do Winston for Litton?
I have Kjar, (don't laugh until you look at his fantasy potential from last year and this) at 125 and Chance Litton at 184.
I would consider giving them up for Winston/Dragon at 157 and/or Lucas/Wright.
Kjar is going to be the best flex guy you can probably get with 45 matches a conference championship and a Top 18 ranking.

When Ye Shiwen, a mere 16-year-old took the world by storm with her splendid display at the 2012 London Olympic Games, a handful of fellow competitors and their countries as well as veteran swimmers were divided in their assessment of the Chinese.
While some were confounded at the ease with which she beat other contenders to take two gold medals, others alleged that her victories were due to doping. Later, Ye attributed her success to extreme hard work and numerous preparations over the years with innumerable competitions both within and outside her native China.
Her father, Ye Qingsong, also defended her, accusing the Western media of being 'arrogant and suspicious of Chinese people and their achievements' at the Games. He said that the swimming team had gone through an especially rigorous anti-doping regime and attributed his daughter's victory to a combination of hard work and guidance from Chinese coaches.
However, for Ye, the first female swimmer to win two gold medals in her events, the numerous competitions she took part in en route to the Olympics gave her the needed exposure and cast her confidence in concrete, thereby helping her to break a world record and an Olympic record. At the end of the Olympics, China won a total of 10 medals in diving and swimming.
Rwanda on the other hand fielded two swimmers thanks to wild cards from the sport's world governing body, the International Swimming Federation (Fédération Internationale de Natation, FINA). Unsurprisingly, they were hardly more than spectators.
After training in a 22m-size swimming pool, as opposed to the standard 50m Olympic size, Alphonsine Agahozo and Jackson Niyomugabo were always going to struggle and as it turned out, they both failed miserably in their first heat. Agahozo clocked 30.72 seconds in the 50m free-style category while Niyomugabo set a personal best time of 27.38 seconds, but tellingly even that was not enough to qualify for the next heat.
Samuel Kinimba, the president of the Rwanda Swimming Federation, now fears that the poor trend will continue unless proper infrastructure is available. "The facilities in place cannot allow our swimmers to compete favorably in international competitions; at the very least, we need an Olympic-size swimming pool because that's the benchmark for our improvement," he said.
In the past, swimmers have had to forego international competitions because of lack of funding. This development, sad as it is, is a classic case of the manner in which failure to find sponsorship has continued to frustrate the lofty dreams of the swimming federation.
"Inadequate funding has been a very big problem for the development of the sport," Kinimba explains. "For a start, the sport is an expensive sport as it costs a lot of money to build and maintain the facilities. Added to that, you also have to run all-year round training programs for the swimmers to improve their skills and time, and find funds to organize competitions. The other issue plaguing the development of swimming is the fact that most of our coaches need to be trained and re-trained."
Too few competitions
With just six active clubs and five competitions planned for this year's local swimming calendar, most of which are youth tournaments, it's clear that swimmers are not getting enough competitions under their belt. "We can't afford to have more competitions because of a stringent budget," Kinimba said of his cash-strapped federation that solely survives on periodic interventions from the National Olympics Committee (RNOC) as well as the Ministry of Sports and Culture (Minispoc).
Yet like with many of the smaller sports federations in the country, it is not clear what the swimming federation itself has done to secure sponsorship. While it is true that the organization only came in existence in 2010, it seems that even after two years they haven't been able to come up with a convincing medium-term plan on how to develop the sport. Without such a concrete plan, no sponsor (private companies, for instance) will be willing to commit themselves to more than just funding a single event.
The ministry of sports and culture, too, for the time being seems not to have any specific plans for swimming. While permanent secretary Edward Kalisa, concedes that for the sport to grow, proper infrastructure has to be put in place, he is non-committal.
"We know that we need an Olympic-size swimming pool to give our swimmers a level playing field and we are already working towards that. It may not be this year or next year but we are surely aware of what needs to be done," he said rather vaguely.
So it seems that for now, swimming is dead in the water.

It was on this day 10 years back that choreographer Farah Khan's debut directorial "Main Hoon Na" hit the screens. She can only look back at her pool of memories with a smile.
"Ten years of 'Main Hoon Na' today," Farah tweeted Wednesday.
She also thanked her friend and superstar Shah Rukh Khan who played the lead in her film.
"Thank you Shah Rukh Khan for changing the course of my life. In sooo many ways with MHN. You in a wet white shirt, under a waterfall my darling, was my gift to all the women in the world!"
"Main Hoon Na", Farah says, marked the first time that the film's lead actress Sushmita Sen wore a sari on screen.
"This scene was the first day of shoot for Sushmita Sen and the first time she wore a sari on screen," Farah tweeted along with a picture of Sushmita's introduction scene.
"Main Hoon Na" also stars Zayed Khan, Amrita Rao, Naseeruddin Shah, Kabir Bedi and Kirron Kher.
The film set the platform for Farah and she next directed the superhit "Om Shanti Om" in 2007.
She is currently busy directing "Happy New Year", which also stars Shah Rukh Khan.

Gus Savage
Democrat, Illinois (1981-1992)
The Honorable Gus Savage, on the day he was defeated in a primary election for Congress, blamed the "white racist press and the racist, reactionary Jewish misleaders" for his loss, comparing himself to the slain Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X. He was defeated by a young, bright African-American reformer and future BadBoy, Mel Reynolds.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, on the eve of the primary election, wrote: "Although there is lively debate regarding who is the best congressman [in Illinois], there is broad, bipartisan, multiracial consensus that the worst is Gus Savage." "What a luxury," the editorial continued, "to have someone of Reynolds' caliber at hand when replacing Savage with even a stalk of celery would elevate the intellectual and moral tone of Congress." (editorial, March 8, 1992)
Gus wouldn't talk to the press, saying that most of the press is "racist" and includes too many Jews. He called "historically, culturally and politically accurate" Louis Farrakhan's statement that "Hitler was a great man" and that Judaism is a "gutter religion." He's been know to respond to reporters questions by calling them "faggots" and asking "Are you still messing with little boys?" [For other pearls of wisdom, check the Quote Board].
Savage got in trouble (not the first, nor the last time) because of what happened on a trip to Africa. The House Ethics Committee concluded that he made improper "sexual advances" to a young female Peace Corps volunteer during a trip to Zaire in 1989. Savage sent a letter of apology: "While in Zaire earlier this year," it said in part, "if you felt personally offended by any words or actions of mine, I apologize, because I never intended to offend and was not aware that you felt offended at the time."
So what went on? The Peace Corps volunteer, a 28-year-old female, was invited to have dinner at the U.S. ambassador's residence, with Savage and others in attendance. She was to brief Savage, a few days later, on the work of the Peace Corps in Africa. After the dinner, she agreed to accompany Savage and several others on a tour of Kinshasha's night life. Savage insisted that he and the woman ride alone in the chauffeured limousine. According to the woman, Savage, "aggressively and repeatedly fondled her in the back seat of the embassy car despite her strong spoken protests and physical resistance." "As soon as the . . . cars pulled off from the ambassador's residence, he grabbed me," she said. "He tried to force me to have sex with him." Finally, an information officer from the U.S. embassy escorted her from Savage's car and took her home. The woman had to be medically evacuated back to the U.S. and underwent six weeks of intensive therapy given to victims of sexual assault. The U.S. ambassador later chewed out Savage for his improper conduct.
The Peace Corps volunteer, who has not been identified, was called "a traitor to the black movement" by Savage.
Gus Savage is a member of the Congressional Sexual Harassment Caucus.
When confronted by the press, Savage said, "why don't you ask me about economic development projects? . . . Ask me something constructive. I'm not interested in all that . . . I could care less what . . . it is. I don't want to talk about that . . . Ask me the same kind of questions you ask white congressmen. You don't ask white congressmen questions like that. . . "

Well, it appears that this time we've dodged the bullet. Tropical Storm Fay at the time of this writing has turned to the northeast. We'll get some rain and some breezes, but it doesn't look as if we'll get much more. We had some storms last week and the week before and a lot more wind than it's thought we'll have this week. Some people somewhere will be getting the brunt of the winds, rains and along the coast, significant storm surges. That is unfortunate. I pray that not many, if any, are hurt by the storm.
As promised, here is an update on our attempts to adopt another hairy child: My wife is having second thoughts, even after we passed the home visit by the adoption agency. Max, our male sheltie, keeps telling us he is the only dog we will ever need. "But the other dog we have, Molly," he said, "really needs to go. Put her up for adoption. She'd make a good rescue sheltie."

Every other year, the world's eyes turn to a single chosen city, wherein lie the most talented athletes from around the world who have come to compete with the best of the best. The Olympic Games are a part of a centuries old tradition. The games are most definitely inspiring, and are also a source of national unity. But where did the Olympics come from?
According to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, the Olympic Games were first launched in the form of a religious festival in honor of the father of the Greek gods and godesses, Zeus.
"We can hit," said Betty Walker, executive director of Levy Assocation for Retarded Citizens. "We just can't run."
Before Saturday's classic showdown featuring LARC staff and clients against the polical candidates of Levy County, Walker was explaining her strategy for a LARC victory.
"We got to hit the ball out."
LARC won the two-inning tilt by a bare 4-3 margin, but aggressive baserunning, pitching and defense were as much a factor as power at the plate.
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV)
As a change of pace, I thought we might try the shorts that follow for this week's conversation.
As you passed through the intersection at the school, you may have noticed the grit on the sidewalks and the roadways. Look up and you'll see what has been happening. A crew has been at work blasting and repainting the water tower. Frequent painting of metallic structures is a necessary part of corrosion control. The color is the same. The only thing you notice is the absence of the rusty spots on the structure and the tank above. Good job, guys.
My wife and I are excited about the potential of an adoption. This Friday a woman from the agency is coming to our house for an interview and inspection of our home. We are frantically trying to get everything in order.
Strange things happen in the summer once the water warms up. Some fish just don't know where they should be, but you know, there aren't any fences out there so fish can do what they want.
Several years ago Captain Bill Roberts was fishing cutbait for redfish and hooked a very strong fish. The fight was unusual and he wondered what it was. Once in the landing net he saw that he had caught a bonefish. Now that fish was really out of its territory.
In my previous article, I wrote about my family's journey to Pennsylvania, and all the places inbetween. Now you will find out about the journey home.

The Crisis of National Debt
Get Email Alerts
Essay by:Susan Grossman
George Mason University
Given that the American economy will be in a recession, perhaps a deep recession, when president elect Obama takes office in January, part of a successful administration legacy will be a growing economy. In order to succeed multiple fiscal avenues exist for simulating the economy towards expansion. Monetary policy partnered with fiscal policy can successfully grow the economy and soften the short recession cycles. A fine line is walked by policy experts between promoting economic growth and deficit reduction.
National debt has become a growing concern in the last half of 2008 as many industries, states, and citizens need federal government bailouts in order to survive. The percentage of national debt to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has doubled. Forecasters suggest that the debt will to from around 30% of our GDP to around 60% of our GDP. This could have dire consequences on the economic outlook of America for generations with increased inflation and low national savings.
During times of mild recession cycles it may be necessary for the government to interfere with market cycles. In order to soften the effect of a more severe recession, president elect Obama should put into place growth policies that increase government spending in public goods (similar to his just announced overhaul of American infrastructure plan). Increased government spending guarantees money is entering the economy, increases employment and discretionary consumer spending. The type of program the government decides to create can have an affect on the long term growth of the overall economy. Discretionary programs investing in America's future and public goods will increase employment and stabilize the economy for generations. An example of a program that fulfills these requirements would be a program subsidizing alternative energy. By advancing new forms alternative energy, the government is indirectly promoting science and technology programs at all levels of education. Subsequently, advancing the rapid expansion of that technology creates jobs and decreases unemployment. Extending the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cut will help further stimulate business. Pumping money into the system will insure an employed workforce with money to spend on goods and services. This may not seem politically wise but necessary in hard economic times.
During a recession cycle, the government should try and stimulate the economy, but during periods of economic growth the government should try to reduce the federal deficit, increase personal and national savings. Many ways exist to repay the deficit. Change in budget and fiscal policy during periods of economic expansion encourages saving which is important for the over all health of the economy to encourage a balanced budget or occasionally a budget surplus.
Repaying the deficit accrued during the recession should be the first step once a recession is over. This should prevent major inflation. Second, the repeal the Bush tax cuts increases revenue lost by the government during periods of economic downturn can once again return. Tax cuts are wonderful for stimulating the economy and should be seen as a temporary solution. Third, budget cuts in all poorly performing programs (determined by PART and budget reforms) or out of date programs are a relatively easy way to increase revenue for other places. Fourth, as an extra achievement many new policies should be looked at during a period of economic stabilization also mandatory entitlements should be reformed during a period of economic prosperity.
There has been a longstanding effort in the government to try and link budget resources with performance results. The Performance Assessment Rating Tool (PART) is a way to achieve this link. With PART, agency progress is rated against performance measures. These evaluations are then used to hold agencies accountable for the performance of their programs. Programs are then rated on a scale determining if they are effective or ineffective. Consistently ineffective performing programs should be looked at twice as a means to reduce the deficit. In order for this to be used as a tool for budgeting expectations need to be defined clearly and outcomes need to be taken into consideration. These performance measures can affect the budget in three ways. First, changes in performance whether good or bad can change budget allocations. Second, a higher standard of performance could affect additional funding. Third, the performance measures could only be one factor in performance measures.
Ideally in the long term the government should work at decreasing the deficit and balancing the budget. Fiscal policy along with monetary policy of the Federal Reserve can work together to achieve this goal. The economic future for 2009 is unknown. What maybe the number one priority of the next administration are a major overhaul and reforming of the financial institutions and budgeting laws providing transparency, accountability, regulation, and an increased sense of stability. America is now at an advantage. The world pegs their currencies to the dollar and America's monetary policy controls the amount of currency printed. If this balance were to ever change, America would find its self in a situation similar to Argentina.

Your essay was insightful and your points nicely articulated. I agree there is a need for alternative energy sources, but instead promoting applied science the imphases, it seems should be placed on basic science, for advancing applied sciences to fast typically lead to negative environmental corollaries. Thanks for posting your essay it was thought provoking.

You have a great essay! You have great ideas and I agree with the fact that as a nation would do need to repay the deficits once out of the recession, because if we dont it will only create more problems. I also agree with the fact that we need to look at alternative sources of energy. I think it would totally pay off within time.

Definitely true! Due to that case, the crisis of national debt, everybody was affected. It is needed that the government should focus on this matter. Now, John Calipari is one of the lucky guy. In the midst of the worst recession in decades he's managed to land himself one heck of a job, and the reactions haven't exactly been praise for John Calipari. He was recently hired as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, for about $35 million over 8 years, so a payday loan won't be on his mind ever again. This is odd, since the University of Kentucky has just cut staff salaries, and his program at Memphis was notorious for a lower graduation rate among his players. That aside, he consistently has teams in the playoffs, so it might be worth it to get a payday loan for the basketball team to hire John Calipari.
Texas secession has been a
On April 24th, 2009 SabrinaY says:
Texas secession has been a big talk for decades. The cry regarding Texas secession is getting a bit louder now. Governor Rick Perry has released a statement in the wake of the numerous "tea parties" over taxes that have broken out all over the nation. He's more or less intimated that it might get brought up later, and it's doubtful there will be military loans for new border construction. (If they try, they won't likely succeed.) The talks of Texas secession are more likely a prompt to get the Federal Government to repair credit with certain factions.

A Song for Pumpkin Brown and Search
Two short narrative films by Lowcountry filmmaker Brad Jayne.
A Song for Pumpkin Brown is set in 1961, Song of Pumpkin Brown begins as ten-year old Pumpkin Brown (Khari Lucas) loses his preacher father (Micheal L. Nesbitt) and their rural South Carolina home. Sent to the Jenkins Orphanage in Charleston, SC, the shy, lonely boy is introduced to the jazz trumpet as a means of dealing with his grief - a vital creative outlet that will set Pumpkin on his destined course as a professional musician.
In Search, a lonely housekeeper faces death and dying in Search, a dramatic and provoking short film written and directed by Brad Jayne. Set in 1986, Sonora (Ruth Ann Oliver) becomes enigmatically drawn to the plight of a missing autistic boy (Khari Lucas), a strange connection growing as the fate of the child becomes more and more dire. But what is it that forged this strange fascination, and what is the dark secret the quiet woman hides? Search bravely…humbly…powerfully contemplates the uncertainty of mortality and the fear borne from its mysteries.

Moving houseplants outside in late spring or early summer is good for them because they get better air circulation and light exposure. This also is a good time to repot your container-bound plants.
Wait to move plants outdoors until at least mid- to late-May, or when the weather is consistently warm. Since most houseplants have a tropical origin, temperatures below 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit might damage them.

text: North Tonawanda, NY (WBEN) She's collected petition signatures and anticipated challenging George Maziarz in a Republican primary. Now that Maziarz is out, Gia Arnold says at the very least, she deserves an interview for the line. "Having served in the Senate for 19 years and having made a career out of politics, I was wondering why all of a sudden he would drop out of the race like that," says Arnold. She says she was denied the opportunity to be interviewed when she announced her campaign by party leaders of counties in the 62nd district, by their ignoring of her letters. Now that Maziarz is out, Arnold says an interview is something party chairs owe her, considering she has the required number of signatures on petitions to put her on the ballot. "We're not demanding they give me the (Republican and Conservative party) lines, we're demanding they give me the opportunity to be interviewed and the chance, because I've already gathered enough signatures and sent them to Albany," says Arnold. Arnold says there is an "old boys club" in Albany. "We as constituents need to not only hold candidates accountable but parties making the decisions on who is running and who is on the lines," believes Arnold.

The Basics
1. 14 teams in the league. 15 wrestlers per team. You'll start 11 wrestlers per week, one guy at each weight from 125-285 and then a "flex" guy from any weight you choose who will be eligible to score points at whatever weight he wrestles.
2. There isn't going to be head to head during the regular season. The standings will go strictly by total points scored.
The regular season will run up through Conferences. After Conferences the 4 highest scoring teams will advance to the finals during NCAA's, and we're also going to take two wild cards this year.
These wild cards will be the two highest scoring teams during Conference week that wouldn't already be going to the next round anyway. Come NCAA's I'll wipe the scores clean and it'll be a 6 way scramble for the championship.
3. 3 points for a win by decision, 4 for a major, 5 for a tech with back's and 6 for a pin. Same as we've done the last two years.
4. All dual meets count for points. Other events that will count for points will be the All Star Match, Kauffman Brand Open, Las Vegas, Reno, Midlands, Scuffle, Penn State Open, Michigan State Open, NC State Open, Body Bar Invitational, Navy Classic, and then our new additions this year the Brockport tournament, the EMU Open, and the Binghamton Open. (EDITED)
5. Wrestlers who win the Vegas, Reno, Midlands and Scuffle tournaments will get a ten point bonus added to their scores. Wrestlers who finish second in those tournaments will get five bonus points.
6. Wrestlers who win the Big 10 and Big 12 tournaments will get 16 bonus points added to their scores, those finishing second in these two tournaments will get 12 bonus points. The guys who win OW at those tournaments will also get 5 bonus points. All other conferences will have bonuses of 12 points for a championship and 8 points for a second.
7. Trades are permitted, free agency is not. We'll have a trading deadline this year of 2/18 (EDITED).
8. Supplemental will be back during the holiday weekend in its 3 round format.
New Rules/Changes
1. Keeper Rule will be the same as last year. I detailed it in the other thread. You keep a guy, he counts as your first rounder.
2. We're eliminating the rule where you don't get points if your wrestler bumps up a weight in a dual. If your wrestler wrestles in a dual and wins you get his points.
However if your wrestler bumps up and loses but his back up wins you don't get the back ups points.
The rule from last year where if your wrestler doesn't wrestle and his back up wins will stay the same. You will get those points just as long as someone else doesn't have the back up.
3. Back Ups will be eligible for tournaments this year. I meant for them to be eligible last year but the season got started before I could clarify. The difference between tournaments and duals however will be that in tournaments to get points from a back up you will have to specifically declare that back up in your line up for the week.
4. If your wrestler beats a guy in the D1CW Top 25 at a tournament that we don't score you'll get points for that.
5. If you trade a guy away, but then for some reason want him back you'll have to wait three weeks before you're able to trade back for him.
6. NCAA's will deviate from normal scoring. We will use official tournament scoring there, not the scoring that I detailed in the "Basics" section. All other tournaments will continue to be scored in the 3/4/5/6 format.

In March 2001, Konami shipped Shadow of Destiny for the PlayStation 2. More than eight-and-a-half years later, the Japanese publisher announced it is working on a PSP port of the adventure game, which received solid reviews on the PS2 and decent marks on its PC port in 2002. (The game was also released for the original Xbox in Europe and Australasia.)
Despite the diminishing returns from critics, Konami is keen to promote the forthcoming PSP port, which it says will arrive next year. Shadow of Destiny will stick to the original's storyline, which casts players as a young man who must find his own murderer. To do so, he must solve puzzles and time travel between the 16th century and the present day, picking up clues that lead him to the killer.
As was the case with the T for Teen-rated original, Shadow of Destiny will have multiple endings determined by player's choices in the game. It will be released sometime in 2010, although no specific quarter is named. For more on the original, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Let's say i backed up 250 gb worth of data on my Time Capsule, if i delete everything from my hard-drive can i still access all that's backed up?
What i want to do is buy a 2TB Time Capsule, and use that to back-up everything on my 250gb external hard-drive and 200gb hard-drive on my macbook pro. Now if i back all that data up and delete everything on both disks to free up space... will i be able to access the data stored on the Time Capsule? And if so will i be able to move single files or will i have to import ALL the backed-up data back into its disk of origin? Does this make sense?

Best Answer:
Yes, you will be able to mount the Time Capsule drive. You can access everything from the Time Capsule just like it was on your Macbook.
- Answered by Dan K from Plano
Time Machine will, sooner or later, DELETE the backup copies of anything that's no longer on the disks being backed-up.

(France 1756 – )
11.0 x 8.9 x 6.1 cm
The bust is from a Sèvres model introduced c1759, but is of hard-paste porcelain and bears the signature of a member of the Hannong family. Thus the piece appears to be the only known surviving example of the experiments made by Paul-Antoine Hannong at Sèvres in 1762–63 to demonstrate the efficacy of the hard-paste recipe he was trying to sell to the factory at that time.

To a soundtrack (by Brooklyn art/design collective Lansing-Dreiden) that evoked an appropriately nautical ebb and flow, summer classics bobbed up consistently throughout the collection. Canvas and seersucker were made up into sleek pants and highly covetous shrunken jackets. Eye-catching bathing suits and tank tops, in electric blue and mint, reprised the form-defining lines of the bustiers in the duo's fall collection but with a bright, sporty twist. And for rainy days, there was a patent-leather, sequined raincoat so yellow as to challenge the sun to come out. Other highlights included a short black patent jacket, prepster staples like button-downs and shorts enlivened with a custom print, and a suede jacket in Nantucket red.
Makeup director Tom Pecheux described his brief for the show as "sporty but fragile," which could well be applied to the entire collection—establishing Proenza Schouler firmly at the helm of a stylish vessel on a strong course.

|calendar>>August 22. 2014 Juche 103
Anniversary of Kim Jong Un's Work on Songun Revolution
| Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- It is one year since Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made public his work "Let Us Add Eternal Brilliance to Comrade Kim Jong Il's Great Idea and Achievements of the Songun Revolution" to mark the Day of Songun (Aug. 25).
The work comprehends Generalissimo Kim Jong Il's idea and theory on the Songun (army-first) revolution.
Kim Jong Il in his lifetime had made a history of victories and glory for the country, regarding the Songun idea as his steadfast principle. During his Songun revolutionary guidance, he formulated and developed in depth the Songun idea to provide the guidelines that should be adhered to in accomplishing the cause of independence.
In the work, Kim Jong Un clarified that the idea of the Songun revolution calls for giving priority to the military affairs in accomplishing the popular masses' cause of independence, the cause of socialism, and pushing forward the revolution and construction as a whole with the revolutionary army as core forces. And he stressed that Kim Jong Il's Songun idea is the revolutionary and scientific idea and theory as it is consistent with the transparent anti-imperialist independent stand and warm love for the country and the nation and the popular masses and based on the iron faith and will and makes it possible to perfectly and comprehensively meet the demands of the Juche idea.
Basing himself on such scientific analysis of the Songun idea, he elucidated the validity and originality of the Songun politics and its invincible vitality.
With this work of Kim Jong Un, the feats performed by Kim Jong Il in leading the Songun revolution will be kept deeper in the minds of the Korean people and the world progressives.

Todd McFarlane does things his own way. Jim Poulin/Phoenix Business Journal
The UpTake: Comic book revolutionary Todd McFarlane is taking aim at a new industry, toys.
McFarlane Toys began after he "couldn't get comfortable" with the standard way of toy manufacturing.
"I decided, 'I'll do it myself,'" McFarlane said. "It's just plastic in creative shapes. We're not building nuclear plants."
Moving away from core competencies can be daunting for any entrepreneur, but McFarlane said he's learned companies often play up a fake mysticism about how they do business.
"Businesses always want people to think what they're doing to be more magical than it actually is," he said.
McFarlane believes what holds most people back from launching a business or idea is a lack of startup capital. Thanks to what McFarlane dubbed his "dumb luck," he was fortunate to see success during his time drawing for Marvel Comics, earnings from which were used to start his toy company.
McFarlane Toys launched in 1994 as a way to sell Spawn toys, but during the past 19 years has grown to become the nation's fifth-largest manufacturer of action figures, signing licenses for all four major U.S. sports leagues, pop culture properties such as "The Walking Dead," and bands such as Kiss and the Beatles.
Despite its underdog status, some industry experts say McFarlane's effort to create such intricate toys and figures has led to a renaissance in the industry.
"The level of detail he's created has had a huge impact on the industry," Byrne said. "If you look at an original 'Star Wars' figure from 1979, they look fairly crude compared to the detail possible today."
While toys and action figures always have played some part in the comics and hobby industry, Geppi said McFarlane's involvement struck a chord with comic and pop-culture fans, who appreciate attention to detail in the products they buy.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 23 August 2012 10:38AM
According to VisitEngland's Bank Holiday Trip Tracker, 3.6 million Brits, which equates to 7% of the population, plan on taking an overnight holiday within the UK this weekend.
However, 1.6 million people, around 3% of the adult population, will journey abroad over the same period.
The tourism body claims the 3.6 million people will generate £800m in tourism spend and it maintains that 2.8 million of this number will be taking their trips specifically within England and will generate £600m of the total tourism spend.
This is further backed by 43% of Britons stating that the high-profile events this year, from the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, to the Olympic torch relay and both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, have made them more interested in exploring the UK.
However, VisitEngland says an overwhelming 6.4 million people, amounting to 13% of the adult population, are currently undecided about whether to take an overnight trip this weekend or not. This is due to a combination of factors, from the unpredictable weather to financial concerns, or holding out for last-minute deals to become available.
The expected boost in domestic tourism spend comes in the same week that VisitEngland revealed a flurry of new partnership programmes as part of a £41m campaign to run over the next three years, called 'Growing Tourism Locally'.
The drive, backed by £19.8m from the Government's Regional Growth Fund (RGF), with £9m put forward by VisitEngland and with £12m expected to be leveraged from the national and local tourism sector, aims to raise an additional £365m in tourism spend and create 9,100 jobs in the sector.
The campaign starts this week with a marketing push from Cumbria Tourism, featuring outdoor ads on London Underground that feature images of the Lake District and Cumbria using the strapline, "Go take your breath away".
Destination campaigns will continue to roll out over the next six months, focusing on the themes of heritage, coastal, countryside and culture, including sports and literature.
Last week culture secretary Jeremy Hunt revealed the department for culture, media and sport (DCMS) will be giving VisitEngland an extra £2m to run its 'Great' campaign in 2013.

Gremolata is the Secret to the Tastiest Simple Lentil Soup
Even the most boring lentil soup is satisfying fare, but who says it has to be boring? The secret to this version? Gremolata, the Italian condiment of chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and garlic typically served with osso bucco. In this case, I use it to develop two distinct levels of flavor, once while sautéing my aromatics, and again by stirring it in at the very end. More

Blue Bird is recalling more than 2,500 All American school buses and some transit buses to fix a problem that could make steering more difficult.
The company also is recalling a smaller number of school buses that may be prone to a propane fuel leak.
It says it has received no injury or accident reports tied to any of these recalls.
Blue Bird Corp. says the steering problem can develop on some buses made between 2011 and last May if a steering shaft clamp comes into contact with a rubber close out boot on the floor. It also is recalling more than 400 transit buses to fix the same problem.
The company also is recalling 388 Vision school buses made in 2012 or 2013 to address the possible fuel leak.

Hazel Hockin conducted a reader's service on Sunday morning with the theme being 'Faithful'. Pianist was Shirley Mildren and William Dale standing in for Alfie MacDoanld, who is not well, was the vestry steward and read the notices at the commencement of the service.
The congregation were welcomed by Tattianna and Tallulah Haslam and the pulpit flowers were provided by Crystal Matthews. One reading came from the 89th Psalm and three members from the congregation - Alan Foster, Joanna Alker and Kevin Moseley read it.
On Wednesday the monthly Prayer and Praise meeting met at noon and was led by the Rev David Pountain. This was followed by a light lunch and very much enjoyed by all who attended.
