54 year old man | Bakersfield, CA, USA | Seeking women 33-45 within 300 miles
Holding out for happily ever after. Iam a single father of 2 looking for that special single mom 4 relationship. Hello to everyone.
I'm an honest, hardworking man with a big smile who likes laughing until my sides hurt, going to a baseball game on a summer day, and digging my toes into a warm, sandy beach. Don't see any of your favorites on this list? Don't worry. What I do is less important to me than who I'm with. I'm the father of two sons (10 and 14) who are not only the most important people in my life, but also just really great kids. I'd love to meet a woman with young children of her own who might be open to having more kids in the future. I'm hoping to meet a positive woman with a big heart who shares my interests and introduces me to hers. Physically I'm attracted to affectionate women with warm smiles and the qualities that matter most to me are kindness, humor, and honesty. Does this sound like you? I hope so. I look forward to meeting you very soon.

Middle of the Road
Since I love to travel, my favorite places are all over. I go to Vegas every year and like the East Coast and beaches too. I'd like to see Hawaii next or go on a cruise, especially with the right person.
Mexican and Italian food. Restaurants like Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Chili's. Diet Pepsi and good coffee. My kids.
When the weather cooperates, I like going to parks, swimming, and taking road trips. I don't need to go out to have fun either. Sometimes nothing beats dinner and a movie at home.
I'm an avid reader of the daily newspaper, but I don't pick up books very often. My guilty pleasure is the National Enquirer.

In the Chosun of Peace We Enthuastically Reach for the Sky
An essential function of ICBMs is that there are capable of traversing continents, just as nuclear tests are expected to be accompanied by at least attempts at tests. In North Korea, as the Dear Larder grapples with the new-found responsibilities following the departure of his father – to a netherworld stalked by shades of his supernaturally outraged victims – fulfilment of neither criterion is guaranteed.
Chatter in August of this year about a third nuclear test came to nowt. This followed the attempted launch of Kwangmyongsong-3 in April.
Touted as a 'weather' satellite (perhaps to monitor whichever meteorological phenomenon food shortages are next going to be attributed to) it just so happened to have ICBM capabilities from its Unha-3 carrier rocket. Publically and spectacularly, however, it self-destructed so, unlike the non-arrival in orbit but unobserved destruction in the atmosphere of Kwangmyongsong-2 (in 2009) and Kwangmyongsong (in 1998), Pyongyang admitted as such.
The April date would have been auspicious as it marked the 100th anniversary of birth of Kim Il-sung. With the first anniversary of the death of his father – on 17 December 2011 – approaching, Kim Jong-eun is preparing for a retest of Kwangmyongsong-3.In other news, the Chosun Ilbo carries the not-grissily-enough-to-be-impossible-in-North-Korea report that towards the end of October, an errant General was executed by mortar fire at point blank range. Kim Chol previously had held the role of deputy defence minister, and was known for his fondness of drink and women in defiance of Kim Jong-eun's prohibition of "singing or dancing, merrymaking or recreation" (this coming from a biscuit-snarfler who enjoys the singing of excellent horse-like ladies).
Pointers to this being gossip do exist, such as a similar report having appeared in South Korean media in March. If Kim Chol has been removed from his position, it is more likely he is under house arrest; as happened in July to Ri Yong-ho. A close ally of Kim Jong-il, Ri Yong-ho had been the Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People's Army before being replaced by Jang Song-thaek, a KPA outsider and husband to Kim Jong-eun's aunt.
A florid kleptocrat even by debased Juche standards, Ri Yong-ho had outsourced extensive mercantile interests to the Chinese border city of Dandong; and, according to the Chosun Ilbo, other sticky-fingered officials in this city are being recalled to Pyongyang.
Dandong also was the location of another unexamined death of a Korean missionary. In August 2011, Kim Chang-hwan collapsed from a seizure; and subsequently, severe injuries were found on his body as well as evidence of neostigmine bromide: a poison of choice of North Korean agents. Now, following testimony from a Northern infiltrator to this South, reports are emerging that this was, indeed, murder.
Lastly, sometimes even PressTV is correct. Before reports that a State-owned telecommunications company, TeliaSonera was paying backhanders to Tashkent, the Swedish public was digesting revelations that their Government had protected the narco-diplomacy and debts of Pyongyang in the 1970s.

then maybe they ought to play him instead of Rich Aurilia.Quote:
The Braves remain interested in Reds OF Austin Kearns, who also is on the Royals' and Nationals' wish lists. The Reds, however, don't want to trade Kearns until he increases his value to the point where they will get a quality pitcher in return.

I hope for Austins sake the A's come calling for him.
Hmmm...interesting stuff, if this has any validity at all it seems that Kearns will not be a Red by the end of the season assuming he plays to his potential. While moving him may or may not be good for the team he is my favorite player, and I for one would miss him.
Yeah, I'd love for the Reds to make a run at one of the A's young guns such as Blanton or Haren. But I highly doubt they'd give up either one.Quote:

Jimbo has nothing we want, the pitchers he has that are good make too much money for us.
The Braves have been after him for some time now. Perhaps we could aim for position prospects too - Brian McCann perhaps as part of it.
Honestly, we need a pitcher out of the deal but that shouldn't be the only focus.
I will say this, the Braves outfield is getting to be atrocious with Brian Jordan and Mondesi running out there. So the value Kearns could possibly bring to them is probably very enticing to the Braves brass. That being said, I agree that I don't like our team trading with the Braves, we always seem to get shafted whenever we deal with them. I say, and some may argue, that if he returns to the rookie Kearns form we don't deal him for anything less than a SOLID number two.
trading one of the young OFs isn't going to do anything to help in the short help. The Reds need at a minimun of 6-7 new pitchers. The farm system is also devoid of OF prospects for the most part. The only one at the moment is Dickerson who is 23 at High A.
The Bong jokes ran for a while...isnt that worth something in the Reitsma deal??? :D

New owner Robert Pera names Jason Levien CEO of Grizzlies
Pera names Levien CEO of Grizzlies
When Jason Levien entered a suite in FedExForum Sunday afternoon, he took a seat to the right of new Grizzlies owner Robert Pera.
The scene was more than symbolic.
Levien is indeed Pera's right-hand man, or more formally, the CEO and managing partner of Memphis Basketball LLC. There no longer is any question as to who will take charge of drafts, trades or other important matters regarding every aspect of the Grizzlies.
Pera has entrusted an attorney turned NBA player agent turned team executive turned sports investor to oversee day-to-day operations.
"He's the best of anyone to do it," Pera said. "Jason and I will make the final decisions."
Levien, 41, met the 34-year-old Pera in the past year and helped him broker a $377 million deal to purchase the Griz from Michael Heisley. Levien was most recently co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers but sold his interest in that team to join Pera's group.
Levien immediately supersedes general manager Chris Wallace's authority. It's Levien who decides what, if any role, Wallace will have with the team going forward. Coach Lionel Hollins is in the final year of his contract and now must convince Levien to keep him.
Having spent the past several months trying to close the sale, Levien insisted that he's only now begun to evaluate the Griz. It's a process that could last all season.
"We haven't decided anything," Levien said. "We want to be thoughtful about it and respectful about it. We want to do what's best for the organization. … Robert and I really share a common vision for how we want to do things."
Undoubtedly, Pera plans to rely heavily on Levien's basketball instincts and acumen as a former front-office executive with the Sacramento Kings. Levien was an agent who negotiated lucrative contracts for Udonis Haslem, Luol Deng and Kevin Martin.
Levien moved swiftly to get to the point where he can run an NBA franchise. His stint with the Kings lasted about 18 months. The ink barely dried on Levien's 76ers ownership stake before he connected with Pera.
But Levien makes no apologies for his first decision as the answer man for the Griz — to crawl into the position without making any knee-jerk decisions.
"It's going to be my hide on the line," Levien said. "I have to make sure it goes the right way."
Levien joined the Kings in late 2008 after being recruited for his talent-evaluation skills, grasp of the salary cap and negotiating ability. Levien's abrupt resignation in 2010 came with a reported rift with general manager Geoff Petrie. Levien was widely believed to be Petrie's eventual successor. However, reports also surfaced that said Levien pushed hard for Ricky Rubio over Tyreke Evans in the 2009 draft.
"That's overblown," Levien said. "I saw other opportunities and I took it in Philadelphia. I didn't go with any preconceived notions in Sacramento or Philadelphia. I went in for the experience and to work with people that I liked a lot. I got a lot out of both of those places.
"From my perspective, having come from the player agent side, I bring a player-friendly focus to ownership. … We want to make the culture here a real player-centric culture and a destination for players."
Pera acknowledged that Levien took a lead role in assembling an ownership group that includes local business leaders, actor/singer Justin Timberlake and Memphis basketball legend Penny Hardaway.
And if anyone wonders how former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. found his way into Pera's group, look no further than Levien.
Ford and Levien became friends while attending the University of Michigan. Levien received his law degree there and eventually served as a speechwriter for the keynote address at the 2000 Democratic National Convention.
While Pera had never been to Memphis until March when he began kicking the tires on the Griz, Levien pointed out that his relationship with Ford brought him to the city many times before now.
Levien said he's moving his family to town soon. And soon he'll be Pera's eyes, ears and Griz commander in chief.
Asked who he would consider a mentor as he embarks on this endeavor, Levien looked to his left and then to his right.
"That's a good question," Levien said. "I'm trying to chart my own course."

Concert review: After tempo and audibility issues, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony finishes on a high
Published on May 11, 2014 11:16 AM
Beethoven's ground-breaking Fifth Symphony continues to draw the crowds, going by the packed house at the Esplanade Concert Hall on Friday, with even the choir seats filled, and all this without a superstar soloist performing a famous concerto.
Acclaimed British pianist Martin Roscoe played Ernst von Dohnanyi's Variations On A Nursery Song, an accessible set of variations for piano and orchestra based on the most well-known nursery song of all - "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman", which most of us would recognise as the tune to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
Roscoe toyed with the audience and orchestra in the lighter moments of Dohnanyi's writing, but for rest of the piece, he was all business, delivering excellent tone and a dynamic range that belied his unassuming demeanour. The 11 variations present formidable technical challenges to the soloist, but Roscoe was more than up to them. What was most impressive was his ability to make every variation musical, without resorting to excessive dramatics.
Dohnanyi's orchestration is as colourful as the piano part, making full use of the percussion section for drama, and throwing in a fugue for good measure. Veteran conductor Gunther Herbig directed a spirited accompaniment, complementing Roscoe well. The Dohnanyi Variations may not be a familiar work to many in the audience, but Roscoe's impeccable musicianship made the music sound familiar and thoroughly enjoyable.

Smooth Muscle Cells, Not Pericytes, Control Brain Blood Flow
Live imaging in mice finds that smooth muscle cells on arterioles exclusively control cerebral blood flow.
Live imaging in mice finds that smooth muscle cells on arterioles exclusively control cerebral blood flow.
Worm study suggests that tipping the balance between progranulin and its granulin fragments might promote frontotemporal dementia.
Better known for lowering cholesterol, statins appear to spur the production of neurotrophins in the brain.
In mice harboring both pathogenic α-synuclein and Aβ, the former puts the brakes on plaque formation by the latter. The model could offer insight into what happens in people with mixed pathology.

The mice, which lack the ALS- and FTD-linked gene in neurons, indicate that C9ORF72 loss of function alone cannot cause neurodegeneration.
The enzyme complex directly cleaves a protein crucial for survival of B cells, debuting a new type of substrate for the protease.
One author falsified figures, prompting the lab to request a retraction.
Pericytes, the cells that surround capillaries, have been proposed as the main modulators of cerebral blood flow. Now, a new study, using live imaging in transgenic mice, refutes this. Scientists report that only smooth muscle cells surrounding larger arterioles can constrict blood vessels. The data imply that less than 10 percent of brain blood vessels determine total flow, as well as fluctuations due to brain activity. The knowledge may help researchers develop more targeted therapies for brain vascular disorders.

text: I replaced the seals in a 8 ton hydraulic cylinder for one of my shop presses today, and grabbed something out of the scrap bin to squash as a test to make sure the cylinder wasn't leaking. Turns out that piece of scrap was hardened and rather brittle, rather than flattening it shattered under pressure. I still haven't found all of it, but there were pieces 50 feet away from the press. Luckily I was standing to the side of the press when it let go, and didn't catch any of the schrapnel. Thought I'd share this as a reminder to everyone, presses are dangerous and will hurt you if given the chance.

"Technology companies have long been the primary focus of venture capitalists," said Ms. Canning. "But with a non-existent IPO market and corporations paying less for venture-backed technologies, the incentive for investors to back new or unproven business models is just not there."
The information services sector, which includes most of today's Web 2.0 technologies, saw investment and deal flow fall back to the levels seen in 2005. Information services companies attracted $323 million in 55 deals during the first quarter, down more than 61% from the record $828 million invested in 116 such deals a year ago.
Health Care Sees Smallest Drop
The Health Care industry saw investment and deal flow fall to their lowest levels since 2003. According to VentureSource data, $1.35 billion was invested in 118 health care deals in the first quarter of the year, a nearly 34% drop from the $2.04 billion in 162 deals during the same period in 2008.
By sector, biopharmaceutical investment slipped 21% from $918 million in 69 deals in the first quarter of 2008 to $723 million put into 56 deals in the most recent quarter. Medical device companies saw investment fall 51% from the $972 million put into 74 deals last year to $477 million invested in just 42 deals in the most recent quarter.
Even Energy Investment Crashes Back to Earth
The Energy & Utilities industry garnered $189 million in 15 deals during the first quarter, down 59% from the $457 million it saw invested in 24 deals last year.
The renewable energy sector, which makes up the backbone of the industry-spanning "cleantech" category, accounted for the bulk of the industry's investment in the first quarter with $117 million put into nine deals. This represents a 73% decline from the $427 million invested in 16 renewable energy deals in the first quarter

(1926-2010). The leading coloratura soprano in 20th-century opera was Joan Sutherland. The term coloratura is derived from "color" and refers to a soprano with a high range and the vocal agility to sing trills, rapid passages, and other musical embellishments. Sutherland has been acclaimed for her roles in Vincenzo Bellini's Norma and La Sonnambula, George Frideric Handel's Giulio Cesare, and Gioacchino Rossini's Semiramide.

The third anniversary of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) found the U.S. military intact and stronger than ever. Despite the utter failure of their previous doomsday predictions to materialize, the same voices of opposition to DADT are now making similar prophecies about potential moves to lift the military's discriminatory ban on transgender people.
Challenges remain for lesbian, gay, and bisexual service members. Three years removed from the repeal of DADT, they still face harassment, discrimination and difficulties obtaining veterans' benefits. One obstacle to equality looms particularly heavy post-DADT: the prohibition on transgender service.
The Pentagon currently prohibits transgender people from serving in the armed forces, a ban that forces over 15,000 men and women currently serving to lie about their identities and deters countless others from enlisting. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has indicated the military may review this policy, which, according to the Palm Center, a research institute focused on sexuality and the military, is without sound medical reasoning and could be lifted without harming readiness.
Unsurprisingly, conservative pundits have railed against proposals to lift the transgender ban.
Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay hate group Family Research Center (FRC) and one of Fox News' favorite social commentators, wrote in a March FRC newsletter that lifting the ban on transgender service members would be a "fatal blow to unit cohesion and readiness" that "could compromise our troops' safety." Perkins tied the issue to military sexual assault rates.
Elaine Donnelly, the president of the anti-gay Center for Military Readiness (who once said that human rights abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were a result of allowing women in the military) echoed Perkins, calling the idea of transgender military service an experiment that puts "an extra burden on men and women in the military that they certainly don't need or they don't deserve" and suggesting it would lead to an increase in sexual assaults.
Conservative commentator Erick Erickson ranted against the mere disclosure of the estimate that 15,000 transgender people are currently serving, and said that President Obama has "turned our military into some sort of weird social experiment." Meanwhile, right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh mocks the idea that transgender people should be allowed in the military with repeated uses of the term "tranny" and his token phrase "add-a-dick-to-me babe."
If the rhetoric sounds familiar, it should. Conservative media used the same attacks in their attempts to preserve DADT or replace it with a discriminatory policy even more extreme.
Three years ago, Perkins argued that repealing DADT would increase military sexual assault rates, undermine morale, and damage recruitment. Donnelly warned that after repealing DADT, "lesbians would take pictures of people in the shower" and gay service members might spread HIV through the ranks.
Erickson predicted the military bureaucracy would "go to war with Obama on the battlefield of public opinion" after DADT, while Limbaugh called the repeal "special treatment" for the gay community and intimated that it would lead to problems with "predation" and sexual harassment:
LIMBAUGH: Now, here's a question. It's an open-ended question. Will straight soldiers, heterosexuals, be able to claim sexual harassment by gays in the military? Or will such claims now be considered hate crimes? How is this gonna play out? Well, you know, because in our culture there are certain templates. It's like women never lie about rape, yet we got this ABC weather babe, you know, women never lie. Children never lie, yet we know that they do. This notion that there is predation in the homosexual community, oh, that never happens. Well, yeah, just like it never happens in the heterosexual. Of course it does. There are predators everywhere out there. Hate crimes are, if you're thinking about it, well, it's even worse than the crime that you commit. So anyway, it's a lot of stuff to shake out, so to speak.
These fears, predictably, proved unfounded. According to a Palm Center report published a year after the repeal of DADT:
Based on the substantial evidence we gathered in our research, we conclude that, during the one-year period following implementation of the policy change, DADT repeal has had no negative impact on overall military readiness or its component parts: unit cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment or morale. While repeal produced a few downsides for some military members--mostly those who personally opposed the policy change--we identified important upsides as well, and in no case did negative consequences outweigh advantages. On balance, DADT repeal appears to have slightly enhanced the military's ability to do its job by clearing away unnecessary obstacles to the development of trust and bonding.
Such hateful attacks on transgender service members should disqualify these discredited pundits from commenting on the issue, but with the debate over lifting the transgender service ban heating up, it remains to be seen if media will finally stop offering them opportunities to comment.
From the September 5 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) responded to guest radio host Erick Erickson's recent remarks that people who work in fast food have "failed at life," calling the statement "degrading" and "out of touch" with hard working Americans.
On the September 4 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Fox News contributor Erick Erickson called minimum wage workers failures stating:
If you're a 30 -something year- old person and you're making minimum wage, you've probably failed at life. It's not that life dealt you a bad hand. Life does not deal you cards. It's that you failed at life.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairs Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ) and Keith Ellison (D-MN) released a statement on Erickson's "degrading remarks" about fast food workers.
Fast food workers often work 2 to 3 jobs just to put food on the table and to take care of their families. Erick Erickson is clearly out of touch if he thinks this is something to attack. He ought to interview these workers on his radio show - maybe then he will learn what real work is.
Over the last year, the Progressive Caucus has been privileged to stand side by side with Americans from all across the country as they organize and rally for fair wages. We have met thousands of hard working men and women, many of whom work far more than 40 hours per week. Contrary to Erickson's remarks, not one of them has failed at life.

International incidents are a prime opportunity to daydream about foreign leaders who'd make better presidents than Barack Obama, at least inside the conservative media bubble. David Cameron has now joined Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu on the right's list of foreigners they'd rather have in the Oval Office than the man the nation elected.
On August 28, President Obama delivered remarks on the U.S. military's approach to the rising terror threat from the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) and recent developments in Ukraine. Right-wing media figures responded with disdain, accusing the president of failing to view the Islamic State as a threat and even suggesting it's understandable to think Obama sympathizes with terrorists. Yet when Cameron delivered similar remarks on the Islamic State's threat to the United Kingdom the next day, the right's response was much different -- Fox News contributor Erick Erickson tweeted:
Can we borrow David Cameron? He fights.
-- Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 29, 2014
Cameron joins a select group of foreign leaders whom the right-wing media have determined to be better suited for the U.S. presidency than the man chosen by American voters.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson responded to President Obama's press conference addressing the Islamic State by asserting that he understands why "so many" believe Obama "is a closet Muslim jihadist sympathizer."
On August 28, Obama held a press conference to deliver remarks on the Islamic State and recent developments in Ukraine. During his statement, Obama explained that U.S. airstrikes have allowed Kurdish forces to push back the extremists, but added that more needed to be done with allies to root out the "cancer" that is the Islamic State:
As I've said, rooting out a cancer like ISIL will not be quick or easy, but I'm confident that we can and we will, working closely with our allies and our partners. For our part, I've directed Secretary Hagel and our Joint Chiefs of Staff to prepare a range of options. I'll be meeting with my National Security Council again this evening as we continue to develop that strategy. And I've been consulting with members of Congress, and I'll continue to do so in the days ahead.
Despite Obama's strong condemnation of the Islamic State, Erickson said on his radio show that "I don't believe Barack Obama is a closet Muslim jihadi sympathizer. But I now - today, after this press conference -- totally understand why so many of you think he is." Erickson repeated the incendiary comment on Twitter:
Erickson's inflammatory remark is the latest in a long line of extreme rhetoric from the Fox contributor. In 2012, Erickson called Obama a "composite Kenyan" on his blog RedState. He also has a history of sexist and homophobic comments: Erickson labeled Texas state lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie" and claimed that gay people need to "overcome" the "struggle" of homosexuality.
Charles and David Koch, brothers and the oil barons who are already shaping the 2014 midterm elections according to recently leaked audio recordings, are often portrayed as environmentally responsible advocates of the free-market that are unfairly targeted by Democrats. However, their political influence, which benefits the fossil fuel industry and their own bottom line, is unparalleled.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson continued his pattern of championing anti-LGBT discrimination, warning that gay rights and Christianity are incompatible and asserting that a society that affirms LGBT equality "is a society bent on suicide."
In an August 7 Townhall.com column titled "Tolerate or Be Stamped Out," Erickson lamented the growing marginalization of anti-LGBT attitudes, charging that pro-equality activists are determined to purge Christians from American society:
In fact, enormous energy is being expended by the left in America to make Christianity and Christians unacceptable. A New York Times writer wants to stamp out those views "ruthlessly." He describes those with orthodox Christian views on marriage as unworthy of civility. Anonymous groups expose the home addresses of mostly Christians and subject them to harassment. This is not happening to orthodox Jews or Muslims, but to Christians.
It raises a serious question Americans must confront -- are gay rights and Christianity compatible? The answer appears to be no. As gay rights activists use the tactics of Bull Connor to push for what they declare civil rights, they are targeting churches, religiously affiliated groups and Christian businesses for harassment and lawsuits.
Across the country, the left has decided our sexual preference is something we are born with, but our gender is something we get to decide. Anyone who thinks otherwise is threatened and harassed. Several thousand-year-old pillars of society are being shoved aside in the name of tolerance. Those who speak up for sanity, tradition and faith are treated scornfully.
This will not end well for any of us. Despite surveys designed to show the contrary, children tend to do best with mothers and fathers. A society that willfully undermines perpetuating itself is a society bent on suicide. One thing is for sure -- a faith that survived its followers being used as torches to light the streets of Rome will survive a modern age hell bent on ruthlessly stamping it out. [emphasis added]
Erickson's latest apoplectic screed is par for the course from the Fox News commentator. Last month, he endorsed a Georgia congressional candidate's view that "the homosexual movement ... is destroying America." Previously, Erickson has written that gay people are on the "road to hell" and warned businesses that serve gay couples that they are "aiding and abetting" sin. Moreover, Erickson is a prominent supporter of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a right-wing legal group working internationally to help criminalize homosexuality.
Conservative pundit Erick Erickson, who once called a Supreme Court justice a "goat fucking child molester" and has been criticized by coworkers for sexist and incendiary remarks, is trying to become a Republican kingmaker. Many Republicans are happily promoting his endorsements, paying his site for advertising, and attending his events.
On August 7-9, Republicans such as Gov. Rick Perry, Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Jim Bridenstine, Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott, and RNC chair Reince Priebus will attend Erickson's 2014 RedState Gathering in Fort Worth, Texas. Previous speakers at the annual event have included Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Sen. Marco Rubio.
Erickson is a Fox News contributor and the editor-in-chief of RedState.com, where he, according to his biography, writes "candidly about and challenge the Republican establishment as well as rally conservatives to push their agenda at both the federal and state level." He believes that "conservatives must unite to clean up the Republican Party. If they don't, voters will keep rejecting Republican pseudo-socialists in favor of authentic socialists." His philosophy has led to fights with establishment Republican pundits like Karl Rove and GOP apparatuses like the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
That Erickson would want the Republican Party to tack even further to the right isn't surprising. This is the same pundit that cites Jesus to deny the threat of climate change, endorses homophobia, and believes Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and death panels are real.
But his commentary goes beyond extreme conservative positions and into the realm of remarks that even his own colleagues find "boorish and obnoxious."
House Republicans pulled a bill which would increase funding for security at the southern border after conservative media and their allies voiced opposition to it.
The bill, pushed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was tabled after he and House Republican leadership faced "a rebellion among their most conservative ranks," according to the New York Times, who also reported that the failure to pass the bill "ensures that no legislation to address what both Democrats and Republicans call an urgent humanitarian crisis will reach President Obama's desk before the August break." After the measure failed, Republicans met to discuss whether they would bring up another bill before Congress goes into recess or to scrap the legislation entirely. Roll Call reported that "chaos reigned" as it became unclear what Republican leaders would decide to do.
Conservative media darling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was reportedly whipping votes in order to stop the bill the night before its introduction, according to a Washington Post report. Cruz appeared on Fox's On the Record with Greta Van Susteren that same night and attacked what he described as "President Obama's amnesty."
Weekly Standard founder and ABC News contributor Bill Kristol wrote a July 31 blog post demanding that the House "kill the bill." He described the bill as "dubious legislation" and argued that passing it would "take the focus off what President Obama has done about immigration."
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt agreed with Kristol, writing that the House should "kill the fake border security bill and go home until the House leadership gets serious about passing a real border security bill."
The Drudge Report highlighted opposition to the bill at the top of the site with the headline "Hill Phones Melt As Boehner Pushes Border."
The Drudge headline linked to Breitbart.com, which has repeatedly opposed immigration reform efforts. The story by Matthew Boyle noted that "The American people have overloaded the Congressional phone lines yet again on Thursday, pressuring their members of Congress to vote against the House and Senate immigration bills."
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson argued at his site, RedState, that the bill was flawed because it failed to repeal the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which conservatives incorrectly blame for generating the surge in child migrants from Central America.
Erickson added, "The House GOP should be starting with closing DACA, not telling conservatives they first have to fund the President and then they'll get table scraps" and directed his readers to RedState's "action center" where they could call Congress and demand that "the House GOP must close DACA."
Daily Caller columnist Mickey Kaus promoted a campaign from the anti-immigration group Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) which urged readers to call the U.S. Capitol switchboard in order to speak to their member of Congress and demand "No New Laws" on immigration. Kaus also linked to a list of members and their direct office phone numbers.
Laura Ingraham, a talk radio host and Fox News/ABC News contributor, who has been an anti-immigration reform crusader for years, wrote on Twitter that Boehner had made a "supreme accomplishment" by pushing a bill that "manages to enrage both the political left and conservatives." She later celebrated its defeat.
There's a brewing conservative media war over whether to impeach President Obama.
Largely relegated to the fringe for years, the prospect of impeachment has been invigorated thanks to conservative media figures like Fox News contributors Sarah Palin and Allen West, who have spent recent weeks loudly demanding Obama's removal from office. But not everyone in conservative media is on board, with several prominent figures arguing that impeachment is ill-fated, politically toxic, and could severely damage Republicans' chances in the upcoming 2014 midterm elections.
Last week, Fox News polled on the question, finding that while a strong majority of Americans (61 percent) oppose impeachment, 56 percent of Republicans are in favor of it.
Over the weekend, impeachment got another boost thanks to Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the incoming House Majority Whip, appearing on Fox News Sunday and refusing "to take impeaching President Barack Obama off the table if Obama takes executive action to limit deportations." On Saturday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) announced on Breitbart News Saturday that if the president uses more executive actions on illegal immigration, "we need to bring impeachment hearings immediately before the House of Representatives."
In June, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) introduced a plan to sue the president over the delayed implementation of the employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act. While Boehner has repeatedly dismissed impeachment talk, reporters like the New Republic's Brian Beutler have speculated that the lawsuit was designed to "serve as a relief valve for the building pressure to draw up articles of impeachment."
If Boehner's lawsuit was designed to cool impeachment fever, it's not working. Several conservative media figures have lashed out over his "political stunt" and continue to bang the impeachment drum. As November approaches, the fight over impeachment among conservative media is getting increasingly acrimonious with each side convinced the other is hurting the country.
Media Matters looks at where various conservative commentators currently stand on impeachment.
Wall Street Journal Editorial Board
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson endorsed a congressional candidate's assertion that "the homosexual movement" is "destroying America."
On July 22, Georgia Republican Jody Hice won the Republican primary to succeed Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) in the state's 10th congressional district. In the wake of Hice's victory, BuzzFeed's Andrew Kacynski highlighted 11 examples of Hice's history of inflammatory commentary on LGBT issues.
Erickson, who has endorsed Hice, responded to Kaczynski's post by tweeting that "most every conservatives [sic]" would agree with items "1, 5, 9, and maybe 10":
The passages Erickson endorsed included Hice's claim that "the homosexual movement is ... destroying America by aggressively seeking to destroy traditional families, religion, and marriages for the purpose of removing all societal moral boundaries":
The item Erickson thought most conservatives would "maybe" agree with concerned Hice's suggestion that gay people can change their sexual orientation:
Conservative figures have resorted to linking the 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, to the July 17 crash of Flight MH17, a Malaysia Airlines jetliner reportedly shot down by pro-Russia rebels as it flew over Ukraine, killing nearly 300 people.
This form of exploitation has become commonplace among right-wing talking heads, who have repeatedly attempted to link Benghazi to a variety of unrelated events such as the Chris Christie bridge scandal, Yom Kippur, Monday Night Football, openly gay NFL prospect Michael Sam, the weather, and even the still-missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370.
These media figures often invoke Benghazi to attack President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or to deflect scrutiny away from conservatives, and the deadly plane crash in Ukraine presented another opportunity.
Rush Limbaugh
Radio host Rush Limbaugh took aim at Obama's response to the plane crash by linking it to the administration's response to the Benghazi attacks. Criticizing Obama for not taking a harsher stance toward Russia and the pro-Russia rebels who reportedly shot down the plane, Limbaugh alleged on his July 21 show, "If we're not going to take action against Benghazi ... we're not going to take action here."
Right-wing media personalities took victory laps following the Supreme Court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, in which the Court ruled that closely held corporations cannot be required to provide health coverage for employees that includes contraception if the employer has a religious objection.

There is no difference between proton radiotherapy (PRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) when comparing the toxicity among Medicare beneficiary patients with prostate cancer at 12 months post-treatment according to a study published December 14 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
IMRT is the standard form of radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer, accounting for more than 80% of all treatments. Alternative treatments for radiotherapy have emerged, with the most notable being PRT. PRT treatment has surfaced partly due Medicare reimbursement, which reimburses PRT at a rate of 1.4-2.5 times that of IMRT. Despite its widespread use, the benefits and harms of PRT compared with other types of radiotherapy remain unknown.
To determine the long-term effects of PRT treatment compared with IMRT treatment, James B. Yu, M.D., Yale University School of Medicine, Department of Therapeutic Radiology, and colleagues performed a retrospective study of all Medicare beneficiaries aged 66 years or older who had received PRT or IMRT for prostate cancer during 2008 and/or 2009. Each PRT patient was then matched with two IMRT patients with both similar clinical and sociodemographic characteristics to assess the toxicity of each treatment, while the cost of IMRT or PRT treatment was calculated for each patient using the sum of Medicare reimbursements for outpatient and physician claims.
The researchers found that patients who received PRT were younger, healthier and from more thriving areas than those who received IMRT. While PRT was linked to a statistically significant reduction in genitourinary toxicity at 6 months compared with IMRT, there was no statistically significant difference in gastrointestinal or other toxicities at 6 or 12 months post-treatment. "The relative reimbursement of new medical technologies needs to be considered carefully so that physicians and hospitals do not have a financial incen

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0

Details of the sale remain undisclosed but reports from TechCrunch have valued the acquisition at $10m.
Adku already works with major ecommerce sites Amazon and eBay. It was founded a year and a half ago in San Francisco by three former Google engineers.
Ajit Varma, co-founder and chief executive of Adku, wrote in a blog post: "We started talking to Groupon to bring our technology to more customers and quickly realised that we wanted to be a deeper part of a company."
Groupon, which uses the group-buying mechanism to offer daily deals at heavily discounted prices, was founded in Chicago in November 2008.
After turning down Google's $6bn offer to buy the business, Groupon floated last November.
It became the largest IPO by an internet business in the US since Google's in 2004, which at the time was valued at nearly $13bn.
In the UK, Groupon's trading practices are being investigated by the Office of Fair Trading, after the regulator received complaints from the Advertising Standards Authority, among others.
