U.S. Broadcast Exclusive–"Fallujah: The Hidden Massacre" on the U.S. Use of Napalm-Like White Phosphorus Bombs
Democracy Now! airs an exclusive excerpt of "Fallujah: The Hidden Massacre," featuring interviews with U.S. soldiers, Iraqi doctors and international journalists on the U.S. attack on Fallujah. Produced by Italian state broadcaster RAI TV, the documentary charges U.S. warplanes illegally dropped white phosphorus incendiary bombs on civilian populations, burning the skin off Iraqi victims. One U.S. soldier charges this amounts to the U.S. using chemical weapons against the Iraqi people. [includes rush transcript]
A Debate: Did the U.S. Military Attack Iraqi Civilians With White Phosphorus Bombs in Violation of the Geneva Conventions?
We speak with a former U.S. soldier who witnessed orders being given to drop white phosphorus bombs over Fallujah; a Pentagon spokesperson in Baghdad who admits such bombs were used but denied they were used as a chemical weapon; and the news director of RAI TV, the Italian TV network that produced "Fallujah: The Hidden Massacre."

High cost to 'free' education
How do you feel about costs associated with schooling?
Relevant offers
Palmerston North parents may be feeling the pinch when their children head back to school this week.
New Zealand's "free" education is costing families tens of thousands of dollars, according to the latest findings from a Kiwi education funding group.
The ASG Education Programs New Zealand survey shows parents face beefy back-to-school costs for the first term, with uniforms, stationery, sports fees and school donations adding up to an average of $1970 a year for primary school pupils and $3159 for secondary school students.
ASG chief executive John Velegrinis said a free education was something Kiwis trusted to be taken care of by the government, but that was not the case. The cost had been creeping up at 1 times the rate of inflation in the past 10 years.
And parents who have a baby born this year look set to pay nearly $35,000 for their son or daughter's estimated 13-year state education, he said.
That's eight years at primary school pegged at about $16,000, with secondary school costs adding up to about $18,000.
Manawatu Home Budgeting Service is expecting an influx of inquiries about education costs this week as schools open their doors again.
Manager Bernie Walker said the service was accustomed to dealing with families struggling with the back-to-school-budget.
"People have a tendency to leave things right to the last minute and there may be an upsurge in those type of inquiries when reality hits that school is about to start."
More families were finding it difficult to set aside provisions for school costs and even those who were well prepared found it tough, he said.
His advice for families is to start setting aside a little money as soon as possible and to look at options like buying school uniforms second hand and talking to schools or community groups, such as churches, about payment plans and relief funds.
New Zealand Educational Institute Manawatu branch president Liam Rutherford said an increasing number of families were struggling to make ends meet and the flow-on effect was not always as noticeable as a child missing parts of their uniform or unpaid donation fees.
"Sometimes the parents aren't forthcoming with that information because of the stigma and the embarrassment that comes with those things, particularly with kids not turning up with lunches.
"But this isn't just a low-decile problem. Even at middle- and high-decile schools, while the bulk of these kids tend to come with less of these poverty-related issues, decile 10 schools still have children and families struggling to meet costs."
Education Minister Hekia Parata has said New Zealand schools are self-governing and have the ability to shape cost-related decisions, including if children should wear uniforms and how boards of trustees, which are made up of parents, deal with donations.
Mr Rutherford said it was "half and half" on who the responsibility fell on, but the Ministry of Education could work closer with the teaching profession and school communities by having more consultation on issues like school costs.
The figures were drawn from responses from 1000 Kiwi families surveyed by ASG, measuring school fees, transport, uniforms and computer costs, as well as the price of excursions and sporting trips.
Primary school costs breakdown:
Fees $263
Extra-curricular activities $691
Clothing $174
Necessities $133
Travel $351
Computers $358
Secondary school costs breakdown:
Fees $509
Extra-curricular activities $1086
Clothing $333 Necessities $261
Travel $452
Computers $518

Daniel Johnston
It's hard to believe Daniel Johnston is 50. He looks every bit of it, or he did at the ill-fated but enjoyable Ghoulsfest in October. The Daniel Johnston in his songs, though, remains the wide-eyed incurable romantic that first surfaced in mid-'80s Austin and is depicted in Infernal Bridegroom/Catastrophic Theater's memorable productions Speeding Motorcycle and Life Is Happy and Sad, as well as Jeff Feuerzeig's excellent 2006 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston. Johnston's struggles with mental illness (and his weight) have become well-known, as has his championing by artists such as Kurt Cobain, the Butthole Surfers and Sonic Youth, but he's never stopped creating art or music. Still living in his hometown of Waller, Johnston hit another career peak on 2009's well-received Is and Always Was, where producer Jason Falkner tossed out Johnston's famously lo-fi aesthetic for a more conventional pop approach. Sometimes unsettling, sometimes beautiful, both Johnston and his music are never less than 100 percent honest.

Ian Birrell: A £13bn boost to the economy? I don't think so
Far from generating growth, big sporting events such as the Olympic Games tend to do the very opposite
We are almost there. Less than three weeks until the starting pistol is fired on the world's greatest sporting spectacular. Flags are being unfurled, bunting hung and bus passengers terrorised by police. Soon there will be snipers in the skies, streets shut off for foreign dignitaries and the capital handed over to the sleazy potentates who govern the Olympic Games.
Given his political and economic woes, David Cameron must relish the chance to tap into the excitement over the Games. The Coalition has long seen the festival as a rock to build recovery on. So it was little surprise to hear the Prime Minister proclaim that London 2012 would boost the British economy by £13bn over the next four years, aiding tourism, sales and foreign investment.
All hosts say the same. It is the political choreography, and almost as much a part of the Games as the opening ceremony, the use of performance-enhancing drugs and a sudden interest in minor sports. Unfortunately, it's not true. Perhaps the greatest mythology in sport is over the claimed benefits of these huge events.
Take the cost. The final bill at this time of austerity will be £11bn, an astonishing fourfold increase in the promised costs since London first put in its bid. It is another prime example of incompetent state procurement. For all the fine talk and opaque nature of Olympic financing, the Games are unlikely to show a real profit – it is almost three decades since they last did, since when they have expanded. No wonder barely a third of Britons think them worth the cost.
It is impossible to disprove the figures bandied around. We will never be able to look back at our economy and determine its size if beach volleyball had not been held on Horse Guards Parade. But a series of academic studies have found that big sporting events do not boost economic growth, help employment or even increase tourism. They can do precisely the opposite – and not just because so many workers are being told to stay at home, and many of those working are demanding bonuses to do their job.
For a start, the infrastructure is highly specialised, built fast and to the requirements of organisers rather than the needs of the host city. So we have the obscene spectacle of spending £40m on a basketball arena and £19m on a water polo venue, only to be pulling them down once the crowds disappear. Even Sydney, among the best organised recent Games, tore down several venues – hardly surprising, since it must hold one event a week to cover running costs of its surviving Superdome.
As job creation schemes, these mega-events are flawed. Much of the work making expensive venues is highly specialised, so of limited help for unemployed locals. In the longer term, jobs in sporting centres are often part-time, low skilled and low paid. Any help to the job market is highly inefficient: one American study found the cost of each job generated was four times the cost of the next best alternative. Other studies speculate that the Olympics actually cost a country jobs when so much taxpayers' money is frittered away.
Stratford was going to be regenerated regardless of winning the Olympics. But few people setting out on an urban regeneration scheme would seek to spend vast sums on flamboyant sports stadiums. The usual style is to use limited state revenues on facilities for daily living such as homes, offices, schools and hospitals. For Britain, this has been compounded by spurning the opportunity offered by the Wellcome Trust, which wanted to spend £1bn buying the Olympic Park to create a global scientific research hub with 7,000 jobs; instead, organisers sought a fast buck by selling the athletes' village to the Qatari royal family and a firm of private developers.
Amid all the hype, there is much talk of tourism. So Londoners hoping to rent out homes at inflated prices were surprised when the promised goldrush never materialised. Meanwhile, music festivals have been cancelled and West End theatre bookings are down by 20 per cent.
The truth is that some visitors would have been coming to London anyway, while many more avoid the circus and business travel is deferred. When we last held a global sports event – the Euro 96 football finals – only 100,000 of the expected 250,000 foreign visitors turned up, and they spent peanuts by comparison with overall tourist spending. When Greece held the centenary Olympics in 2004, it took tourism two years to recover to pre-Games levels.
Then there is the promised sporting legacy, the idea we will be so inspired by Usain Bolt's exploits that we will pull on tracksuits and start sprinting round the local park. The suggestion is clearly ridiculous. If this was really the aim, it would make more sense to spend those billions building swimming pools and sports centres across the country, restoring the damage done by successive governments selling off school playing fields. And if organisers want us to be healthier, why are Cadbury, Coca-Cola and McDonald's among their "partners"?
Don't despair entirely. Holding a major sporting event can make a country happier. It can engender a genuine feel-good factor – especially when the host nation outperforms expectations. Unfortunately, this is far more pronounced with football contests. The impact of the Olympics appears less perceptible and more transitory. But enjoy it while it lasts. The money has mostly been spent – and our nation's need for a little lift has rarely been greater.

text: Back in early June, I got my first bike, a Trek 7.1 FX. I was liking it fine, but based on stories of speed increases with slimmer tires , I may have ruined it. I still don't yet feel comfortable doing tire installations because I'm afraid of reattaching the wheel incorrectly(a bit paranoid), so I went and had them done at Performance Bicycle. I had them install Continental Ultra Sport II tires in the 700x28 size. I knew they would make the ride a bit tougher and wouldn't have as much traction, but the bike feels too bumpy now, and I've nearly slid out twice coming down my gravel driveway, not something I expected even with slim tires. I have had them on for 3 days and 80+ miles and I am seriously taking them off and keeping them as a spare set, as I have seen an increase of roughly 1 mph which is not enough to justify the torture and loss of traction. I would just put the old tires back on, but I didn't think to ask to keep the old ones and the shop threw them out. After reevaluating what I want in a tire, my priority is traction on rough surfaces , absorption of road vibration, and speed in that order. I don't really know much about tires in general though and don't know much beyond smoother=less traction, rough=more traction. Does anybody have any recommendations for tires? What sizes can I reasonably fit? The 28's almost seem to small, but haven't given me any issues on that front. Approximately how big or small can I go with my tires?

BYU gymnastics: Cougars finish third at Perfect 10 Challenge
OKLAHOMA CITY – The BYU women's gymnastics team got off to a fast start but finished in third place with a 194.175 at the Perfect 10 Challenge in Oklahoma City on Friday night.
The Cougars finished behind No. 2 Oklahoma's 197.450 and No. 16 Boise State's 195.575. Texas Woman's scored a 191.425 for a fourth-place finish.
"We have two home meets coming up and we need to push until the end," head coach Brad Cattermole said. "We scored well on bars and I was happy with that but we just had an off night on beam. We'll need to come home and regroup for the rest of the season now."
BYU notched a season high on the bars to start the meet with a 49.050. Haylee Rollins tied a season best with a 9.875 and three more Cougars tied or set their career highs. Eliane Kulczyk scored a 9.825, Sarah Yandow Wensel posted 9.800 and Marguerite Lindstrom recorded a 9.750. Raquel Willman also added a 9.800.
The beam wasn't as successful for the team with a few miscues. However, freshmen Summer Raymond impressed in her second career routine on the beam with an even better score than her first with a 9.825. Makenzie Johnson picked up a 9.775 and Willman added 9.750, but BYU scored just a 48.000 as a team.
On the floor exercise, the Cougars rebounded with a 48.750. Rollins led with a 9.825 and Wensel and Kulczyk grabbed matching 9.750's. Megan Bain added a 9.725 and Willman scored a 9.700.
Wensel and Johnson had BYU's highest scores on the vault with a pair of 9.775's. Willman nabbed a 9.725 as the Cougars went on to finish the vault a team score of 48.375 en route to a third-place finish on the night.
Willman finished the all-around completion with a score of 38.975.
BYU returns to the Smith Fieldhouse to host Southern Utah on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. MST.

High Concept Item: Pizza Delivery Cocaine Dealers!
Not a huge case, just kind of amusing: Drug dealers went back to the future with a scheme revealed yesterday to deliver cocaine through a pizza delivery service, special narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan says. Let's hear it for synergy!
Just kidding. Brennan says there were two dealers arrested, one of whom worked as a delivery man for a Papa John's outlet in Brooklyn. That guy, dressed in his delivery uniform, sold coke to undercover cops some 19 times, including Wednesday night, when he handed over a kilo worth $27,500 to authorities, along with a pizza and chicken nuggets.

Apple technical notes ahead of results
The stock has been trading in a range since February of this year that is bound by a low at $120 and a high at $133. There have been three touches at the range high since then and two tests at the low suggesting the bias is for a breakout. If the news is strongly bullish, notably around China sales and guidance, a breakout above $133 and the brief life high at $134.54 would be highly probable. Based on the height of the range the upside potential would be to $147 to $150. Without overhead resistance, price could continue to drift beyond that objective depending on the strength of the news. If the news is a bearish surprise, which very few expect, the low of the range would likely be tested for a third time. A breakdown below $120 would have the same range expectations as on the upside, with a downside target potential to $107 to $105 implied from the range height. Such a move would break the 10-month moving average at $122.16 which has been a good proxy for the uptrend that began off lows in August 2013. The last time this average was broken was during the downturn in price in late 2012 which then ended in August 2013.

Sell PayPal amid mounting payments competition, Piper says
Shares of PayPal (PYPL) advanced over 5% yesterday in the stock's first day of trading following a split from eBay (EBAY), with the majority of research firms issuing optimistic notes on its prospects. This morning, however, analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray recommends selling the share as competition grows in the digital payments space. BEARS: Munster started shares of PayPal with an Underweight rating, the firm's equivalent of a "Sell," saying increased competition could pressure the stock's multiple over the next 6-24 months. Google's (GOOG) Android Pay and Apple's (AAPL) Apple Pay will give consumers a "real alternative to PayPal" for the first time, Munster tells investors in his research note. In addition, interest in payments from Amazon.com (AMZN) and Facebook (FB) bring potential for more digital wallet offerings, the analyst notes. Munster set a $30 price target for PayPal. Of note, Evercore ISI also started coverage of PayPal shares yesterday with a Sell rating. BULLS: Wells Fargo initiated coverage of PayPal yesterday with an Outperform rating, saying the company's unique assets will enable it to maintain its leadership role in digital payments and benefit from the growth of e-commerce. Also upbeat was Robert W. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian, who contends that PayPal has the top pure play online payment system and is continuing to grow its share of the Internet payment market. PayPal should be able to innovate more effectively after its spin-off, added the analyst, who set a $45 price target on the shares. PRICE ACTION: Shares of PayPal are pointing toward further gains in their second day of standalone trading, with the stock up about 2.7% to $41.55 in pre-market trading.

Earnings Watch: Verizon to report Q2 results after AOL acquisition
Verizon Communications (VZ) is expected to report second quarter earnings before the market open on Tuesday, July 21, with a conference call scheduled for 8:30 am ET. Verizon is a holding company providing communications, information and entertainment. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for earnings per share of $1.01 on revenue of $32.45B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 93c-$1.05 on revenue of $31.75B-$33.0B. LAST QUARTER: Verizon reported first quarter EPS of $1.02 against estimates for 95c on revenue of $32B against estimates for $32.27B. Verizon Wireless had 565,000 retail postpaid net additions in Q1, a 4.8% increase compared with first-quarter 2014. At the end of Q1, the company had 108.6M retail connections, a 5.1% year-over-year increase, and had 102.6M retail postpaid connections. The company added 621,000 4G smartphones to its customer base in Q1. In light of a net decline in 3G smartphones, overall smartphone growth totaled 247,000. The company also added 820,000 4G tablets and reported net declines of 385,000 basic phones and 188,000 prepaid devices in Q1. 4G devices now constitute approximately 70% of the retail postpaid connections base, up from 49% a year ago � with the 4G LTE network handling about 86% of total wireless data traffic in Q1. At 1.03% in Q1, retail postpaid churn improved both sequentially and year over year. Retail postpaid smartphone customer churn was less than 0.9%. Verizon added 133K net new FiOS Internet, and 90K net new FiOS Video connections in Q1. Verizon had totals of 6.7M FiOS Internet and 5.7M FiOS Video connections at the end of the first quarter, representing year-over-year increases of 9.4% and 7.9%, respectively. CEO Lowell McAdam said, �We are confident in our ability to maintain momentum and continue to add value for customers and shareholders.� On May 12, Verizon announced it would acquire AOL for $50 per share, or $4.4B. The transaction was completed on June 23. On May 19, speaking at the JPMorgan Global Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, CFO Fran Shammo said he expects net phone additions in Q2. ANALYST REACTION: Street research has been mostly mixed in the weeks leading up to Verizon�s Q2 earnings report. On May 12, Macquarie downgraded Verizon to Underperform from Neutral with a $45 price target to reflect a weaker 2016 and 2017 earnings outlook. The firm's analyst believed management has made a series of questionable strategic moves beginning with the Vodafone (VOD) deal that will depress earnings. Recent advertising promotions are likely to pressure 2015 margins and ARPU and LTE capacity issues are expected in certain markets later in the year. Macquarie is surprised Verizon shares have held in around $50 with treasury yields rising and increasing Q2 promotions and does not believe this is sustainable ahead of a reset in consensus estimates. Conversely, on July 9, Stifel resumed coverage of Verizon with a Buy rating and price target of $60 per share. PRICE ACTION: Verizon�s shares are down about 3% since the company's Q1 report. Over the past twelve months, they are down about 5.7%. In afternoon trading ahead of Tuesday's Q2 report, Verizon�s shares are up 0.6%.
Apple July weekly volatility increases into Q3 and outlook
Apple July weekly call option implied volatility is at 56, August is at 31, October is at 26; compared to its 52-week range of 15 to 36, suggesting large near term price movement into the expected release of Q3 results on July 21.
Samsung most popular smartphone maker in Q2, TrendForce says
Samsung (SSNLF) was the most popular smartphone maker in the second quarter, even though the smartphone market has started to slow down, according to data from research firm TrendForce. Smartphone shipments will grow 8.2% year over year in 2015, though that's down from the previously anticipated growth rate of 11.6%, the report says. Samsung has led in smartphone shipments with a second-quarter growth of 26.8%. However, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge's annual shipment forecast has been marked down repeatedly. TrendForce has also revised Samsung's annual smartphone shipments downwards to 45M units this year. As Chinese vendors are taking more shares of the low- to mid-range product market, Samsung's ability to reverse its fortune may hinge on the success of its Galaxy Note 5. If this device is able to attract consumers with upgraded specs and new features, then Samsung will avoid the high possibility of negative shipment growth for this year. Apple (AAPL) rode on the popularity of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in this year's first half and achieved a remarkably strong shipment result in the off-peak season. The next-generation iPhone due to be launched this year offers no major changes in appearance, but Apple has given the device a new A9 processor and upgraded its memory to 2GB LPDDR4 for the first time. These improvements along with the Force Touch module and a camera featuring a possible resolution of 12MP will give the next iPhone a huge boost. Thus, TrendForce's iPhone shipment forecast for this year continues to be very positive with a high growth of 15% upwards. Lenovo (LNVGY) has fallen to No. 6 in the global shipment ranking and is expected to see a 20%-30% decline in this year's shipments. Lenovo's market share did not double as anticipated after its takeover of Motorola in 2014. Moreover, Lenovo did not have a well-defined product positioning strategy and the brand faced strong competition from challengers offering lower-priced smartphone models.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
09 Dec 2011 10:16 GMT | Latin America, Benin, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico
Pope Benedict XVI will visit Cuba next spring, Vatican officials have said, the first trip by a pontiff since John Paul II's historic tour in 1998.
The exact date of the trip, which coincides with the 400-year anniversary of Cuba's patron saint, the Virgin of Caridad del Cobre, will be announced in Rome early next week, said Monsignor Jose Felix Perez, executive secretary of the Cuban Bishops Conference.
"It will be a moment for energising the faith in Cuba. It will give strength and vigour to the faith in Cuba," Perez said.
He said the pope would meet members of President Raul Castro's government.
Officials also said Pope Benedict was considering visiting Mexico as part of the same trip.
Repaired relations
Cuba's church has played an increasingly important role in Cuba in recent years, helping negotiate the release of political prisoners in 2009 and 2010, and even consulting Castro and his advisers on free-market changes he is pushing to save the island's economy from ruin.
Following the 1959 Cuban Revolution, as Fidel Castro, the former president, increasingly embraced Marxism and the Soviet Union, anti-clerical actions increased.
Authorities discouraged Christmas celebrations, closed religious schools in 1962 and barred Communist Party membership to people of religious belief.
But relations began easing after the Cold War. Cuba removed references to atheism from the constitution in the 1990s and allowed believers of all faiths to join the Communist Party.
In 1998, Castro shed his trademark olive-green fatigues for a business suit and tie and greeted John Paul personally at the airport on his arrival at the island.
Benedict, 84, has limited his travels mostly to Europe, both to spare him from long trips and to focus his efforts on a continent where Christianity is seen by many as having fallen by the wayside.
He did visit Brazil in 2007 and has said he hopes to return in 2013 for World Youth Day, the church's youth festival.
The pope has a trip to Benin coming up later this month, the second to Africa in his six-year-pontificate.

... species of antelope including Bantebok and Eland (tick, tick!) and other rarer one which we didn't see. Perhaps the best animal we saw was the Chacma baboons! Apparently there are over 375 of these in 11 troops! We saw various groups and individuals as we drove around. We stopped at both the Cape of Good Hope to gaze at the oceans and climb up a portion of the cliff and also at the Cape Point Lighthouse where those of us with some energy climbed ...

Grace Cathedral hotels
Grace Cathedral San Francisco
Home to a number of cultural events and presentations in music, drama and visual arts, Grace Cathedral San Francisco is also an iconic place of worship and prayer. It is the Episcopal Cathedral of the Diocese of California and this gorgeous and sacred space holds an international appeal for the reverent. It is also popularized by its routine partnering with other well-known San Francisco organizations for major cultural events. This is a must-see destination during your holiday travels, allowing for a number of unforgettable photo opportunities and a chance to search for inner peace whilst exploring this world-famous city.

- Take a docent-led tour of this third-largest Gothic Cathedral in the US and learn all about the history of the stained glass windows, the renowned Ghiberti Doors, the nave and the many invaluable icons.

'Melo says nothing yet, but he hopes to have offer this weekend
Feb 18, 2011, 5:45 PM EDT
Carmelo Anthony spoke to the media for 20 minutes on Friday afternoon and was able to sound like an innocent bystander in his own trade drama.
"I don't know/out of my control," was his mantra as he said nothing was in place. No meetings are set with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov or Knicks owner James Dolan. He has not gotten a call about or discussed any "legitmate" offers. He said if he is presented with one he would have to "think about" what to do.
But he did say he hopes that by the time he leaves Los Angeles after All-Star weekend.
"Before I leave (Los Angeles) I would love to have something on the table," Anthony said. "I would love to have a legit offer on the table where we can sit down and they can say to me 'this is what we have' and we can figure it out….
"I hope it's not at the 11th hour trade deadline. I do need my rest. I need to get some sleep. I don't need that much stress on me."
When asked about the actual options he tried to sound like a guy out of the loop, not at the center of the Melodrama that bears is name. As if his stand on signing an extension — with Denver or the Nets or the Knicks — is not what will decide how this all ends.
When asked about the report the Nets and Nuggets have a deal in place if he signs an extension he said that had not been discussed with him.
"I really don't know where that's at," Anthony said. "As far as any agreement… I don't know anything about that. I haven't gotten any phone call as of this moment."
He played the same card when asked about meetings with owners (even in the face of reports he met with Knicks owner Dolan last night, as reported by the New York Daily News).
"The Nuggets haven't called me and said 'we are close to a deal with New Jersey' or anything like that," Anthony said.
He did say the Nuggets had come to him before and said there was a deal on the table last month, right before Prokhorov got tired of being jerked around and pulled the Nets out of the talks.
He continued to say Denver is an option, even though he has had an extension from them sitting on the table since this summer he has not signed it. At this point, not sure Denver is on the hook, biting on that bait.
"The only thing I can control is signing that extension," Anthony said. "There's a lot of things I think about though, like what the future of the Denver Nuggets really is, what they are trying to do with the team, what the goal is in a couple years."
The one thing he and everyone else agreed on — he wants this to end.
"I haven't got no sleep in a week," he said.

Cleveland Browns: Vote For Dawson
In another dismal Cleveland Browns season, there is one bright shining star. Since entering the NFL in 1999, Phil Dawson has dominated. The 37 year old makes kick after kick with extreme ease.
In Dawson's fourteen years in the league, he has never made a Pro Bowl. When a kicker is on a bad team, they are often overlooked for Pro Bowl consideration. This has been the case for Dawson his entire career. With his calm approach every year, it's time for Dawson to go to the Pro Bowl. Enough is enough, now is the time and it is well deserved.
Why does the reliable veteran deserve to go in 2012? Cleveland's captain of special teams has been near perfect this year. With the exception of one mishandled snap that was not his fault, Dawson has converted every one his kicks. Nowhere at all have any of the attempts been easy chip shots either. Five of his kicks have been forty yards or more and four have been from fifty yards or more. Yet, he continues to knock them down and is as cool as the other side of the pillow.
The former Texas Longhorn has attempted 17 field goals and has nailed all 17 of them. He is 100% on the year! In Cleveland's 17 total touchdowns, Dawson is 16 of 17 in the point after.
During last Sunday's match up against the division rival Baltimore Ravens, Dawson nailed five field goals and single handedly gave the Browns a 15-14 lead. All of Cleveland's points belonged to Dawson giving him 67 total points on the 2012 campaign. With the Browns struggling to find the end zone often, it has gotten to the point where it is not the Cleveland Browns anymore, it is the Cleveland "Dawsons". With Presidential election finally here, it's time to vote for Dawson.

Today's Runes for Robert Frost
spread is used to plot the crucial elements of past, present, and future, and to reveal the evolution of the situation through the arc of time.
Stone Runes
are most commonly used for questions about the natural world and things beyond human control.
The left rune represents an important element of
the past
, the rune of chance and gambling has been drawn reversed. This can have many possible meanings. It could represent secrets revealed or mysteries uncovered. It could be a warning against gambling - now might not be the time to take a chance.
The middle rune represents a deciding element of
the present
refers to the Yew tree. The Yew does not go dormant and therefore represents endurance. Even the wood of the tree is strong, resilient, and pliable - the Yew bends, but does not break. The evergreen nature of the Yew is present even in the rune itself, as it cannot be changed even by reversal. This rune is historically symbolic of death, but, as in the Tarot and as suggested by the nature of the Yew tree itself, death is seen only as a transmutation of something eternal and unchanging - the spirit.
The right rune represents the critical element of
the future
plainly shows the antlers of the elk that it represents. The elk is the object of the hunt, and hence Algiz speaks to the pursuit of goals and the thrill of that pursuit. The rune is currently shown reversed, so this could suggest a failed endeavor or a lack of effort. Algiz is also representative of a protective hand (fingers open wide), so the reversed form may indicate a failed defense.

Not sure after Rene sees this I will be able to type anymore, so you better enjoy this one, it maybe my last...LOL!
what's that signpost up ahead…?
Rufuz is my co-pilot as he is not afraid,
Rene is my navigator, now I am Afraid!
give her a map & ask her to find a way,
to go around st. louis, oh my god, no way!
twenty different roads, all around the city,
a hundred different ways to get from here to there,
better start to look at the map,
way back in New Jersey,
that I am afraid is the wrap.
better that I should do as I always have done,
write the directions for myself,
the night before and mount them to the dash,
no need for you rene, to hide, no need to run,
I will deal with this myself, totally unabashed.
although my favorite signpost is the one above,
for rene it is the only one she knows,
she is good at finding that one, the one that blows,
am I being here too harsh?
will I get, do you think, a certain part bit off?
well if I do, it will go with a smile on my face,
as often I do when her face is buried….
oh, hi Rene, good to see you, what was I doing, oh nothing important…

Product description
The master of ancient Greek comic drama, Aristophanes combined slapstick, humour and cheerful vulgarity with acute political observations. In "The Frogs", written during the Peloponnesian War, Dionysus descends to the Underworld to bring back a poet who can help Athens in its darkest hour, and stages a great debate to help him decide between the traditional wisdom of Aeschylus and the brilliant modernity of Euripides. The clash of generations and values is also the object of Aristophanes' satire in "The Wasps", in which an old-fashioned father and his loose-living son come to blows and end up in court. And in "The Poet and the Women", Euripides, accused of misogyny persuades a relative to infiltrate an all-women festival to find out whether revenge is being plotted against him. In his introduction, David Barrett discusses the Athenian dramatic contests in which these plays first appeared, and conventions of Greek comedy - from its poetic language and the role of the Chorus to casting and costumes.
