WOW! That is absolutely wonderful. The other pup I know of in Belle's litter is Fritz von Kolnitz's dog, also aging. It was a great litter.
Why don't you put that picture in the paper with their comment and see if we can find any more in Belle's litter?
Thanks so much. She has meant everything to us as we have no children. It is breaking our hearts after nearly 14 years but arthritis n' kidney disease are taking their toll and not sure how mu h longer she has. Glad at least we got her back to warmer climate after 7 years in Greater Des Moines Iowa (Polk City) near Ames n' Iowa State University. We absolutely loved it there too... seven months out of the year!!!! Nice folk you'd ever want to know.... but then we're Midwestern from Indiana n' Ohio originally anyway.

I was curious if you have an email address for Suzannah Smith Miles?
We have returned to the Lowcountry after 7 years away and still have a puppy we adopted in 1999 from her sweet dog Belle.
Our Miss Bea is over 13.5 years old now and is very ill with kidney failure setting in... I just wanted her to know what a wonderful dog she has been and enclose a picture from our days in Iowa taken summer of 2011. If she were living in the area, I's love for her to see her in person and enjoy a connection to her Belle and the father, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever... cute litter from her Old Village days in Mt. P. and working at Moultrie News. We say the picture of the litter on the cover of the Moultrie news of the pups swimming in a play pool and could not resist.

Washington Post op-ed writer Richard Cohen is concerned that "Climate Change May Be Ruin of Perry Campaign." Far less clear was whether he regards that imminent ruination to be a bad thing, or rather, a cause for celebration. There are excellent reasons to suspect the latter.
Cohen doesn't hold a very high opinion of the Texas governor, of anyone who doesn't buy into the notion of a looming man-made global warming disaster, or of Republicans. Referring to Perry in an Aug. 22 Washington Post article, he opined "It's not his thinking I fear, it's the lack of any at all."
Cohen observed that "[Perry] occupies the cultural and intellectually empty heartland of the Republican party." The article scorned Perry for publicly stating that he stood with an increasing number of scientists who have challenged the existence of man-made global warming threats, commenting "…whoever they (italics noted) might be. In Appleton, Wis., Sen. Joe McCarthy's skeleton rattled a bit." His reference to McCarthy went on to elaborate that "The late and hardly lamented demagogue pioneered the use of the concocted statistic" in suggesting that communists were literally everywhere. He further amplified "There were some, of course, just as there are some scientists who are global warming skeptics, but these few – about 2% of climate researchers – could hold their annual meeting in a phone booth, if there are any left. (Perhaps 2% of scientists think they are)."
This would require a pretty big phone booth, and actually, there really are many of those "global warming skeptics" still remaining. In fact, that number (yes- scientists with solid credentials) has been rapidly multiplying, not diminishing.
Since 2007 more than 31,000 American scientists from diverse climate-related disciplines, including more than 9,000 with Ph.D.s, have signed a public petition announcing their belief that "…there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." Included are atmospheric physicists, botanists, geologists, oceanographers, and meteorologists.
A 2008 international survey of climate scientists conducted by German scientists Dennis Bray and Hans von Storch revealed deep disagreement concerning two-thirds of the 54 questions asked about their professional views, with responses to about half of those areas skewing on the "skeptic" side and no consensus to support any alarm. The majority did not believe that atmospheric models can deal with important influences of clouds, precipitation, atmospheric convention, ocean convection, or turbulence. Most also did not believe that climate models can predict precipitation, sea level rise, extreme weather events, or temperature values for the next 50 years.
A 2010 survey of media broadcast meteorologists conducted by the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication found that 83% believe global warming is mostly caused by natural, not human, causes. Those polled included members of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the National Weather Association. Another survey published by the AMS found that only one in four respondents agreed with UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claims that humans are primarily responsible for recent warming.
A literature review of 928 scientific papers published on "global climate change" between 2004 and 2007 that appeared in a 2008 issue of Environment & Energy, reported that 31 (6%) of 591 explicitly or implicitly rejected the idea of consensus that more than half of warming over the past 50 years was likely to have been anthropogenic. Fewer than half endorsed consensus, and only 7% did so explicitly.
Cohen's statement that 97% of all climate scientists believe in anthropogenic global warming can be attributed to a very brief online survey of "over 3,000 Earth scientists" published by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2009 that asked "do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" Not addressed was which human activities any affirmative answer would be linked to, such as: CO2 emissions, and land use changes including agriculture, urbanization and deforestation. Nor was it clear what the question meant by "significant contributing factors" — whether it was intended to mean that they were statistically measurable, catastrophic, or quite plausibly, even desirable.

Rated 5 out of 5�by tennisjunkie Great dressy top This is a great piece to throw on to dress up your jeans! Very nice top. Great color & fit. I am a DD, and the Small fit great. October 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by sbrya28 GLITTER AND GOLD!!!! I fell in love with this top as soon as I saw it online. However, instead of ordering it, I wanted to wait and see what it looked like on when it got to the store. I am glad now that I did. Normally I wear a Small in most Bebe tops; I am 5' 3" with a small waist and a 36DD chest. This top is GORGEOUS! I love the metallic gold lace overlay over the black; perfect with my Bebe black skinny jeggings! I only gave it 4 stars because it does fit small; I had to go up to a Medium, and even then it is still a bit snug. It may be because of the lace overlay not having too much stretch and give. It is also a little sheer, so I put a black cami underneath, and it looks fine. I can't wait to wear this top out this weekend! October 2, 2012

DOBSON — The 2012 Northwestern Regional Library Traveling Photography Exhibit is finishing up its tour at the Dobson Community Library this week. According to Branch Librarian Cindy Brannock, about 60 photographs by library patrons from Alleghany, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin counties are in the collection.
Last year's theme was "Moving Forward" and the exhibit includes photographs including color, black and white and digitally altered entries.
"We are really getting a mix of regular patrons and others coming in that are interested in the show," said Brannock. "We had a lot of entries this year already and the more than 60 entries last year was really good participation. The theme for this year's competition is Show Us Your Best. We have a really good mix in the exhibit, one picture is of a church at Cody Creek and another is a scenery from Utah."
According to Northwest Regional Library Spokesperson Joan Sherif, this is the seventh annual contest. She said branch libraries are accepting entries until Feb. 22. Persons may get more information on the contest by calling or visiting their local public library in Alleghany, Stokes, Surry or Yadkin counties.
Judging in the contest is scheduled to take place from March 4 to March 15 and all decisions by the judges will be final. Sherif explained that awards will be presented based on subject matter, quality of photograph, composition and presentation. Brannock said response to the exhibit in Dobson has been positive.
"People have given us good responses," said Brannock. "One lady said she hadn't realized the area had this much talent. She thought the photographs were by professionals." A photo titled "Chimp" by Michelle Lintecum won 2012 Best in Show.
Brannock, who has worked at the library for more than 16 years, said the exhibit is another example of changes libraries nationally are making in an age of new medias.
"We as libraries have kept attracting patrons, but we are also trying to stay up to date on all the new social medias," said Brannock. "For instance, everyone has a cell phone so everyone has a camera. We try to stay up on what's trending and try to bring the community in with interesting things. We're learning as they are learning."
She said one trend she has seen this last year is middle generations who have not used computers using the library as a resource. Brannock said librarians are not only supplying information from books but providing technology information.
"I'm proud that libraries are doing things like workshops to help," said Brannock. "Libraries are so much more about community programming now and getting communities to come together. The days of the old 'shush' and be quiet attitude is giving way to libraries becoming a gathering place to share ideas."
Brannock said she felt part of this is driven by technology which causes people to miss out on a social aspect.
"People tell us at our story times they just had to get out of the house. Things like this are just one of the ways," added Brannock, who noted the current Dobson Library building used to be the First Baptist Church. "We've come a long way. We like it here, but we also have to keep going."
The opening reception for this year's photography contest is scheduled for March 19 at 6:45 p.m. at the Charles H. Stone Memorial Library in Pilot Mountain. A photography workshop will be held before the awards reception at 5:30 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.

About Social Work
As one of the helping professions, Social Work strives to serve populations which are vulnerable, in need of basic services and resources, or attempting to make a change in lives. Positions in human services settings address a wide range of issues, such as child welfare, chemical dependency, physical and mental health, aging, and corrections. Social workers are also concerned with the community or setting in which people spend their daily lives. As well as helping on a personal level, a career in social work can include working for social change, to benefit the larger community.
The Department of Social Work, UW Oshkosh, offers programs for both Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and the Master of Social Work (MSW) degrees. The BSW has been fully accredited since 1975. The Collaborative MSW received accreditation in June, 2006 by the Council on Social Work Education.
Here is a link to an article quoting one of our 2014 BSW Graduates:

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11, 2011 Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta issued the following message today providing his perspective on his latest overseas trip:
To all Department of Defense personnel:
I've just returned from my second international TDY as Secretary of Defense – a whirlwind five day trip that took me to Israel, Egypt, Belgium and Italy. Over the course of the week, I had the opportunity to consult with key partners in a vital and fast-changing region of the world, reaffirm the commitment of the United States to a strong and vital NATO alliance, and visit with troops in Italy who have helped support the successful operations in Libya.
It was an extraordinary few days that reinforced the importance of our alliances and partnerships, and the need for continued American leadership in the world. With this trip message, I wanted to share some of my experiences with you, the men and women of the Department of Defense, because it is your efforts that make it possible for us to build these alliances and maintain America's global leadership.
The first stop on this trip was Israel, a key security partner in a very volatile and important region of the world. I've traveled to Israel many times before, including as Director of CIA and as a member of Congress. Each time I visit, I'm deeply moved by the history and religious significance of the surroundings. With only one day in the country and a packed agenda full of meetings in three different cities, however, I had little time to soak in the sights.
It was very important for me to be able to go to Israel to reaffirm the unshakeable commitment of the United States to the security of the Israeli people, especially at a time of rapid change in the region. Of course, Israel's long-term security would be greatly enhanced by a sustainable comprehensive Middle East peace – and that was a focus of my discussions with Israeli and Palestinian officials in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ramallah. In my conversations with Israeli Minister of Defense Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, I urged both sides to return to negotiations and told them that the United States was prepared to do whatever we can to support them in this effort. Although there remains a lot of work to be done to bring both sides together, I'm hopeful that there is shared recognition that there is no alternative to negotiations.
After completing my last meeting in Jerusalem, I had the opportunity to visit Yad Vashem, Israeli's memorial to the six million victims of the Holocaust. Yad Vashem stands as a monument to the extraordinary strength of the Jewish people in overcoming tragedy to establish the State of Israel, and it was an honor to be able to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony there with the American ambassador, Dan Shapiro, and museum officials. After taking part in that solemn observance, I wrote this note in the official guest book: "This has been a very moving experience for me personally. What we learn here commits all good people to work together to ensure it never happens again. May God bless those who gave their lives so we could live."
After resting for the night in Tel Aviv, we left early the next morning and took a 45 minute flight to Cairo, Egypt to visit another key security partner in the region – a country that has been at the leading edge of the democratic changes sweeping the Middle East. Cairo is an incredible city, brimming with excitement – and lots and lots of traffic.
Given the extraordinary political transformation Egypt has undergone this year, I was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to have my first meeting with my counterpart, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who is now overseeing the country's political transition.
In my conversations with Field Marshal Tantawi, I expressed my desire to see an orderly, peaceful and legitimate transition to a democratic system of government. We also discussed our shared desire to maintain a strong defense relationship, which is important for our ability to confront common threats and ensure regional stability.
After my first meeting, I had the opportunity to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Tomb of Anwar Sadat in central Cairo. It was a privilege to be able to lay a wreath in honor of these two lives that were given to the cause of peace, especially knowing that the people of Egypt are in the midst of their own peaceful transition to a new and more hopeful future.
Following the ceremony, the Field Marshal graciously hosted me for lunch, along with Prime Minister Sharaf and the American Ambassador, Anne Patterson. Our hosts truly went out of the way to make me feel comfortable – they served American cheesecake for dessert. After lunch, the Field Marshal took me on a tour of the building where the banquet was held, and the two of us even got to enjoy an impromptu game of bowling.
We couldn't play for very long, however, because I was already late to meet with Major General Murad Muwafi, the Director of the Egyptian Intelligence Directorate. In my last meeting of the day, I had a very good conversation with Director Muwafi about how we could further cooperation against threats to regional security.
All of my conversations left me very hopeful that, despite the violence of the last few days, Egypt is trying to stay on the right path forward. I believe Egypt's continuing effort to transition to democracy will send a very strong, positive signal to the rest of the region about the possibilities for peaceful, democratic change.
After wrapping up the day in Cairo, I flew to Brussels, Belgium to participate in my first NATO meeting of Ministers of Defense. Even though I had left the Middle East, the dynamic events in the region were not far from my mind, as the NATO operation in Libya figured prominently in discussions over the course of two days of meetings. Other important topics included our shared effort in Afghanistan and our common challenge of building 21st century military capabilities while facing growing budget constraints.
As a former member of Congress whose roots are in the legislative process, I deeply appreciate forums where everyone can express their views and ultimately try to find consensus, so I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to participate in my first ministerial, and also to engage with a number of my counterparts in bilateral sessions.
I began my visit in Brussels by delivering a speech to an audience at Carnegie Europe, where I underscored the importance of the NATO alliance but also pushed our European allies to shoulder more of the burden for common defense. I also urged our allies to better coordinate defense spending within the alliance, arguing that security in the 21st century will not be achieved by each nation marching to its own drummer. I really believe that the fiscal austerity our nations are facing and the pressure that these budget constraints are putting on defense spending will make it all the more essential that we have alliances like NATO.
Later that day, I had the opportunity to reaffirm the commitment of the United States to the Alliance by joining Spanish President Jose Zapatero and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in announcing a decision to base four Aegis ships at Rota Naval Base in Spain. These ships will further bolster European missile defense capabilities against threats from Iran, and represent a critical step in implementing NATO missile defense, as our leaders agreed to do last year in Lisbon.
During my second day in Brussels, I participated in a meeting of ISAF troop contributing nations to discuss the war in Afghanistan and review the significant progress that we've made in NATO's largest effort. General John Allen, Commander ISAF, presented a briefing of the situation, and it was amazing to look around that room and see all the nations that have contributed to this effort. In listening to my fellow ministers I was really struck by their shared commitment to carry forward this mission and to build on the significant progress that we've made. It was clear that no one is rushing to the exits. To the contrary, there was a real commitment by all to a long-term enduring relationship with Afghanistan.
Another session focused on the effort in Libya, which is nearing its conclusion with the fall of the Qadhafi regime. This was a remarkable achievement and there is no doubt that this alliance has emerged stronger as a result of this effort.
I was very eager to thank those involved in the Libya effort and hear directly from them about their experiences, so at the end of the Brussels ministerial I flew to Naples, Italy – the headquarters of Allied Joint Forces Command. There was also a secondary but important goal to this mission – reaffirming my heritage as the proud son of Italian immigrants and getting more great food and wine.
Luckily, we arrived in Naples just in time to have dinner with Admiral Jim Stavridis, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Admiral Sam Locklear, the Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe, and Vice Admiral Frank Pandolfe, the Commander of the 6th Fleet. After braving traffic conditions reminiscent of Cairo, we set out almost immediately from our hotel to a restaurant in the shadow of the famed Castel dell'Ovo – a stunning medieval waterfront fortress. It was a special opportunity for me to be able to share my native cuisine with these fine military officers. Following my advice, we ordered everything on the menu and enjoyed a family-style meal the proper Italian way.
The next morning, we headed over to Allied Joint Forces Command (also the 6th Fleet headquarters) to receive briefings on Operation Unified Protector with top commanders from a number of countries that participated in the effort. This was an opportunity for them to talk about what worked, what areas needed improvement, and what lessons were learned. I thought the sessions were extremely productive, and the consensus I came away with was that NATO really proved itself in this mission. We were able to effectively and quickly put together a complicated operation, and share the burden across the alliance. And as a result of these efforts, the Libyan people are free from a brutal dictator.
As the perfect capstone to the week-long trip, before leaving Italy I had the opportunity to conduct two troop visits – the first in Naples with U.S. personnel, and the second at Naval Air Station Sigonella, Sicily, with coalition personnel who were flying missions over Libya. In both visits, I expressed my strong support for the Libya mission and my deepest thanks for the service of all who had gathered. In Sigonella, where around 4,000 sorties have been flown in the Libya mission, my visit on the flight line was punctuated by fighter jets and Predator UAVs taking off – testament to the power of our military alliances and the unceasing work of our military across the world.
From NAS Sigonella, I boarded the "Doomsday plane" for the 11 hour flight back to Washington. I came away from the week truly struck by the power of our defense relationships, and by the desire of countries across the Middle East and Europe to deepen their bonds of partnership with our military. That desire is testament to the strength of the American military, and to the outstanding quality of our all-volunteer force. I wish that all of you, the men and women of the Department of Defense, could join me on these TDYs to see the respect and admiration the world has for the American military.
Your tireless efforts make clear that the United States will do everything possible to help people secure the rights, freedoms, and opportunities that are inherent for all people to achieve. We did this after World War II in Europe, and we are working to help the people of the Middle East achieve these aspirations today. And because of these efforts, we will help achieve the goal of a safer and more secure world for our children.

Have we gone to far in genetically modifying animals? Well do you think this is normal? This is real you can go look it up but I am telling you as disgusting as it is you are in fact looking at a mouse with a human ear on its back. But it gets stranger then this. Ever heard of a Belgian blue cow well they are huge and incredibly muscled cows produced only to get more meat out of them. This is what they look like. Huge muscled things only produced to be later slaughterd. If you are strongly against or you strongly agree that GM animals are good reply with your reasons. Nat
Pics from google.
Is selective breeding GM ? Because I'm afraid that the Belgian Blue has not had its genes played about with it is a 'sport' that has a natural mutation that enables it to have huge muscles (therefore more steak yay). The 'Vacanti' mouse once again is not geneticaly modified It has a ear shaped polyester fiber mould seeded with bovine cartilage inserted under its skin. The mouse itself is from an imunocompromised strain that usefully does not reject implant and the like.
The actual amount of Genetically Modified animals is actualy very small most animals under this banner are actualy sports or mutations that would die out in the real world but are very useful in the laboratory. I champion the rights of animals and go out of my way to avoid harming even an ant, but I live with the fact that I eat meat and rely on drugs that have been tested on animals to live a normal life. A good number of the World's population would not be here without animal testing even animal right activists i'm afraid.
Thank you I was not really sure! Only 11! Just found out about it in a biology lesson and thought it was a little wierd! Just think it is a little bit cruel to produce an animal that is not natures evolutionary choice just so we can invest more because the animal has more meat on it. Thanks!
Hi Nat. It is a great question that really affects a lot of people today. I actually think that genetically modified crops are a greater threat (and these ones really are mucked about at a Gene level) as there seems far less excitement at first sight. Although we do once again have to temper this with the fact that these scientists are not actually trying to kill us, just produce plants that are disease resistant and heavy croppers. It's all a 'can of worms' really and as a child of the new millennium it will be something that directly effects you and your children.
Lewis (46 1/2)
So do you think that when I grow up me and my family will be largely affected by GM crops or do you think it will be a benefit? Iv'e heard that they have made this special type of rice called golden rice sopposedly would help save a million lives every year so that must be benefiting. By the way, how do you know so much about this subject!?
Hi Natalie.
Yes I've heard of Golden Rice and I agree it could save lives but at the same time people on subsistence rice farming possibly could be better served with education on getting their vitamin A (I think) from other sources. I am no scientist I work in Scenic Arts, love natural history (I contribute on the NHM's Bug Forum on this site) and I read all the time and luckily have a good memory, so my advice to you is to read everything, fact and fiction, listen to debate and try to see what's behind every breakthrough and headline. It is almost impossible to find an impartial view on anything, sometimes very clever sounding people can be talking absolute rubbish and sometimes you will have to completely change your stance on a subject (never be too embarassed to do this, but don't do it every day) so it is down to you to read what all sides say on a subject and form your own opinion. Although I would have to say that as a rule of thumb mums tend to be right in the long run .
Hi Nat Very interesting question! Some GM creatures are really weird: pigs that fluoresce bright green under UV light for example - because they have had a gene from (I think) a jellyfish inserted into their genome. I'm not sure about getting human milk from cows either.
But, in spite of the risks, I don't really see anything "morally" wrong with GM crops if they help produce better quality or disease resistant food plants. Especially if they feed poorer people.
As Lewis said, the Belgian Blue cow is not GM, but the result of a mutation.
You said: "Just think it is a little bit cruel to produce an animal that is not natures evolutionary choice just so we can invest more because the animal has more meat on it." I agree that it seems cruel, because such mutations are usually connected with health problems. That is, if the animal is allowed to live long enough before being turned into beef.
However, part of your comment shows a misunderstanding that even qualified scientists often make. The Belgian Blue mutation is not evolution, because there is no new genetic information added. What seems to have happened is a fault in the mechanism that "switches off" muscle growth when the muscles are fully developed. It is rather like the timer that switches street lights off when daylight comes. If there is a fault in this mechanism the light will remain on all the time – wasting electricity.
You could call it "devolution", not evolution…

Franz's Weekend Five: Super Bowl Edition
Here are five things on the sports mind of Doug Franz heading into Super Bowl weekend...
1) The hardest thing for coaches is to know when to stick to your strengths and when to attack your opponent's weaknesses even if that doesn't play to your strengths. Tom Brady torched the San Francisco 49ers with checkdowns and passes in front of the secondary during a regular season game. Joe Flacco's strength is the deep ball. The way to beat the 49ers is simple: patient execution. The problem is patience and execution is not in the Flacco repertoire.
I think Flacco will try to change. Flacco will try to execute a short game plan and fail. In the second half he'll go back to what he's good at and hit some long shots. The Ravens will make a valiant come back but come up short.
San Francisco 27, Baltimore 24 ...and no, it's not on a late David Akers field goal. Baltimore will score late but fail on the onside kick.
2) I think Ken Whisenhunt is a very knowledgable football coach. If he wants to be successful again, however, he must drop the stubbornness. Just because you're one of the smartest football coaches in the league doesn't mean you can't keep learning. His tenure in Arizona will be marked by moments of brilliance and elements of ignorance completely caused by an addiction to following his mind over his eyes.
If you call a play that the players aren't talented enough to execute, it doesn't matter that the film proves you right. Too often, Whisenhunt would see patches of green grass and use that as proof his play worked, even though it ended up in a sack, turnover, or incomplete pass leaving a longer conversion attempt for an offensive line that struggled to protect the quarterback.
How do I know I'm right? His own former employer. Watch this video from the the Super Bowl.
After you get past the clueless stare from the guy in the middle, listen to Rod Graves explain what suits Kevin Kolb. In other words, the best thing for Kevin Kolb is to not be coached by Ken Whisenhunt.
3) Great win for the Suns this week over the Lakers. A win like that makes the transition to the new coach much easier for the players. It also shows the difference that a focused Michael Beasley makes.
Beasley can be described with a lot of words and phrases but "bad guy" or "locker room cancer" don't apply. It's a shame that he didn't bring the intensity to an Alvin Gentry-coached team. Beasley's lack of fire cost Gentry his job. That's evident in how well Beasley is playing now. If these last five games had been the norm, Gentry would still be the coach. However, if Beasley was a bad guy, players on this team would revolt against him for saddle-bagging effort until now. It's clear the players know Beasley is a different guy so they aren't judging him for his first 30+ games versus his last five. Maybe we shouldn't either.
4) Greg Jamison is not a fraud. His attempt to buy the Coyotes was a valiant effort, until a month ago. He had to know he couldn't get it done and strung everyone out. I don't have a problem with his investors wanting to wait until after the lockout. Why buy a team if you don't know all the facts about the financial future? However, soon after the agreement, proper PR is clear. You announce immediately that you are ready to go forward with the purchase of the team unless you don't have the money.
It is not in the last two years where Jamison failed all of us. It is in the last month. His holding on for dear life to a pipe dream may have cost us the Coyotes. If he would have removed himself, there would have been more time for a different group to come in and push forward with a lease agreement or taking over the old one. A good owner realizes they are a steward of the city's franchise. In Jamison's first major decision as the Coyotes "owner", he failed.
5) Please don't confuse competitive desire and immaturity. If you even think of supporting Russell Westbrook and his 548th outburst at his teammates, you've either never played basketball or you're still wondering why your old high school teammates don't talk to you anymore.
Westbrook had the ball and an 18-point lead Thursday night against Memphis. He violated an old "anti-Barkley" rule that a player posting up can't dribble with their back to the basket for more than five seconds. As Westbrook was approaching the fourth second, Thabo Sefolosha cut to the basket. At that moment, Westbrook wanted to spin into the lane and walked into a double-team. Since he froze, he was whistled for the five-second call. Westbrook chastised Sefolosha on the court therefore showing up his teammate and was pulled from the game. He yelled at Kevin Durant during the timeout. He stayed disengaged from the team during a timeout. He argued with assistant coach Maurice Cheeks (who knows something about the point guard position) and stormed off the court, punching a chair along the way.
If Russell Westbrook ever decides the game of basketball is about five players, the Thunder will win a championship. Since he won't, they won't.

Two TPD officers in 'serious, but stable' condition after crashWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
UPDATE: Toledo Police have charged Matthew Hartford, 28, with two charges of felonious assault for the accident that injured two TPD officers.
Two Toledo Police officers are in serious but stable condition after a driver evading a Highway Patrol trooper ran a stop sign in East Toledo and slammed into their patrol vehicle during the early morning hours of July 3, official say.
Officers Todd Mikolajczyk, who was driving, and Jeron Ellis, both 30, were extricated from the vehicle by Toledo Fire Department and transported to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.
Ellis is a rookie officer, hired in 2013 and a member of the most recent Toledo Police Department (TPD) graduating class. Mikolajczyk was hired in 2011 and was serving as Ellis' field training officer.
The suspect, who has not been identified, was fleeing an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper who had attempted to stop the vehicle for speeding on Miami Street near I-75 around 4:43 a.m. July 3, TPD Chief William Moton said at a news conference. The vehicle was clocked at 70 mph in a 40 mph zone.
"We have a person of interest, but we're still doing an investigation," said Lt. Dan Gerken of TPD's investigative services unit. He declined to comment whether the person of interest was the owner of the vehicle. Possible charges are still being determined.
The TPD vehicle was southbound on East Broadway Street when it was broadsided on the passenger side by the eastbound SUV, which ran a stop sign on Greenwood Avenue. The SUV flipped and the driver fled.
Moments before the accident, the trooper had decided to abandon the pursuit for safety concerns once the vehicle moved into a residential neighborhood.

When you develop a product and use liberal licensing terms, there's always the risk that someone else will use your code to create a poor product. Maybe it will include a lot of unnecessary features, it will be slow and have a lot of bugs or it will never use the latest version of your software.
Android's goal was to be a common baseline that enables innovation in the mobile space. Convincing other companies to use Android wasn't easy and that's one of the biggest Google accomplishments. Not many people believed in Android's success three years ago and its adoption rate is still surprising.
Convincing companies to update their Android-based firmware faster is much easier. If users only buy Android phones that have the latest version of the operating system and constantly request phone manufacturers and carriers to update the software, then they'll work harder to improve their products.
Google has recently released some information about the current distribution of the Android versions and the good news is that 87.4% of the Android phones use Android 2.x, up from about 55% in July. 51.8% of the phones use Froyo, a version released 7 months ago. In only one month (August 2010), Froyo's share grew from 5.5% to more than 28%, after Motorola and HTC updated phones like Droid, Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, and Desire.
ZDNet says that "almost 13% of Android users are still running versions of the mobile OS that are several generations old and these users will never see Android 2.1", but this percentage is constantly decreasing. Even if they're using Android 1.6, that's still a much better operating system than the one from a feature phone and it still lets them use many apps from the Android Market. A slower update rate is a small price to pay for creating an ecosystem of heterogeneous devices that run the same operating system which is not perfect, but it's "good enough".

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.'s fans have once again stepped up and put him in first place. Landau won T.V. Personality of the Year at the National Reality TV Awards USA held Monday night, September 24, in Hollywood.
"I just won Reality TV Personality of the Year 2012…Thanks for letting me be me, and showing it to the world" Landau twitted to his followers on Twitter Monday night.
Winning Reality TV Personality of the Year capped off an amazing year for Murphy, who attended the awards show at the Beverly Crescent Hotel in Hollywood with wife Jennifer and was also a presenter at the awards ceremony.
Since winning season six of America's Got Talent in September 2011, Murphy has headlined sold out shows at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York City, toured the country with his Sweet Lipzz Big Band, sang at Madison Square Garden and the Governor Tomblin's inauguration and has received the prestigious "West Virginian of the Year" award. To top it all off, Landau's debut CD "That's Life" hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard jazz charts, where it stayed for several weeks during the Christmas season.
The National Reality TV Awards was born out of the need to recognize the worldwide producers, celebrities, participants, researchers, and industry that forms part of what is now at the forefront of the global television market. Voting took place on line, and Murphy's fans again rose to the challenge just as they did with AGT, where Landau won by the biggest margin in the show's history.
Other nominees for Reality TV Personality of the Year included Jessica Sanchez from American Idol, Kim Kardashian, Jeremiah Jermaine Paul from The Voice, Astro from The X Factor, Arsenio Hall, Lamar from the Khloe and Lamar show, Ben Flaninik from The Bachelor and Tia and Tamera.

Outgoing players want a win
HUNTINGTON -- Three senior players on the Marshall University men's basketball team want to make a statement in their final home game.
Not only to themselves, the fans and family members joining them for Senior Night, but to show the world the Thundering Herd isn't as bad as its losing record indicates.
"We're definitely going to come out playing like that, especially our three seniors," said senior Rob Goff before Monday's practice. "We have to come out and bring it."
Goff, Nigel Spikes and Dennis Tinnon make their final Cam Henderson Center appearance at 7 p.m., Tuesday, when Southern Miss (22-7, 11-3 Conference USA) visits Marshall (12-17, 5-9). CBS Sports Network has the telecast on Huntington Comcast Ch. 174.
Marshall also wants to prove it can be competitive with Southern Miss, which manhandled the Herd, 102-46, on Jan. 23 in Hattiesburg, Miss. -- the most one-sided league game in C-USA history.
Southern Miss pulled away 47-7 and led 53-17 at halftime. Marshall turned the ball over 31 times.
"Awful is not even a word. ..." Tinnon said. "They stomped on us. I know people who were watching said Marshall is terrible."
Marshall took another lop-sided defeat Saturday at Houston, 103-76, and is tied with the Cougars for ninth place in C-USA with two games left in the regular season. Marshall wraps up Saturday at East Carolina. Fourth-place UCF is not eligible for the conference tournament because of NCAA sanctions, so an 11-team event will be played March 13-16 in Tulsa, Okla.
Southern Miss clinched the No. 2 seed for the C-USA tournament. If they don't win the tournament, the Golden Eagles are considered one of the teams on the bubble for an at-large NCAA tournament berth.
"We've got to match their intensity," Tinnon said. "If we don't match the intensity they might beat us by 30 or maybe 60."
Herrion said the margin of defeat speaks for itself in the first meeting with Southern Miss, and Marshall has to play at a much higher level.
Southern Miss is fourth in C-USA scoring with 73.5 per game and second in scoring defense at 61.1.
The Golden Eagles lead the conference statistics for shooting percentages on field goals (48.0) and 3-pointers (38.7), rebound margin (plus-6.9), steals (10.6) and turnover margin (plus-2.7).
Dwayne Davis, a 6-foot-5 guard, leads the team in scoring (14.5) and 6-foot guard Jerrold Brooks is next (10.6). Neil Watson, a 5-11 junior averaging 9.7 points, scored 27 in a Saturday win over East Carolina (88-69) on perfect shooting of 7-for-7 on 3-pointers and 5-for-5 on free throws.
Jonathan Mills is a 6-6 forward averaging 9.2 points and 7.3 rebounds. Mills had 15 points and 17 rebounds on Saturday.
Six-foot-seven forward Daveon Boardingham is good for 7.9 points and four rebounds a game.
"They're just really good," Herrion said. "They pass the ball as a team. They shoot it well. They have a lot of weapons."
Marshall also has weapons, but getting them firing at the same time has been a problem throughout an inconsistent season.
Elijah Pittman, Dre Kane and D.D. Scarver -- all juniors -- average 15.9, 14.9 and 12.2 points respectively. Tinnon is scoring 10.6 points and getting 9.3 rebounds a game while Spikes has averages of 5.7 points and 7.3 rebounds. Goff, who started the last three games, contributes 3.9 points and 3.5 rebounds.
Spikes is the Marshall old-timer with four seasons on the court as a center after sitting out his first year (2008-09) for academic reasons.Goff and Tinnon joined the program as junior college transfers and played for two seasons. All three players are on track for May graduation, they said.
The 6-10 Spikes, a Florida native who is sixth in Herd history with 115 blocked shots, recalled the Feb. 2 game against UCF when he rejected nine shots as probably the best of his career.
"We're going to make this a good one too," he said. "We can't go out on a bad note."
Goff, a 6-9 forward from Indianapolis, said Senior Night will be filled with emotion and he'll try not to cry.
He left high school not knowing what the future held, Goff said. Two years of junior college in Kansas put him on the right track.
"It means a lot to me," he said. "Coming out of Indiana I never thought I'd get to play in college."
Goff said his best Marshall memory was playing last season against No. 3 Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. He considers his best game to be a double-double performance last season at Belmont.
Tinnon will leave with so many memories that he had trouble picking any out.
The 6-8 forward from Green Bay, Wisc., is a candidate for repeat All-CUSA honors. He was an all-conference second team selection last season while also making the All-Defensive Team.
He ranks 37th in the nation in rebounds with a 9.3 average and is sixth among active NCAA Division I players with a 9.7 career mark.
"It really goes by fast," Tinnon said.

Jonesville's Town Council is expecting major changes in taxes and spending for the new fiscal year.
Town Manager Scott Buffkin told the council Friday that this was the hardest budget of the seven he had crafted for the town. He called this an "extraordinary year."
Town Council members sat down with Buffkin at a special budget workshop Friday to discuss the proposed budget he had been drafting for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. Buffkin said that beginning in July the town could expect major but unavoidable changes, and that commissioners should prepare to hear criticisms.
Tax rates will increase from $0.40 to $0.47, costing a $100,000 house within town limits an extra $70 ($470 total) in property taxes. Buffkin said the town had slashed budgets over the last few years to the point that serious gaps in services would be felt if something was not done.
The budget is currently set at 40 cents, with expected collections totaling $636,000 for the 2012-2013 period. So far collections have been $611,454.13. Buffkin said that was very good for this point in the fiscal year.
Increasing taxes alone will not solve the problem, though. To maintain the same level of service the town provides to its citizens Jonesville will also have to make cuts in department spending.
Buffkin said that up to this point personnel had been left out of budget cuts, but that may have to change. Medical and dental insurance costs for the town's employees are budgeted to rise from $191,660 to $220,760, a $29,100 increase in one year.
The town will not grant any raises.
Administrative costs should not be driven up unless major increases in overtime occur, which is Buffkin said is unlikely.
Council members agreed to take expense cuts from the expenses portion of their annual allotment. Buffkin said the members were already working at the low end of average pay for council members, but the five council members said they recognized they should not be above cuts while others were not.
The next fiscal year will also include an election year with money set aside for reelections.
The police department, Jonesville's largest expenditure, will see a decrease in capital outlay money by $34,000 and receive half of what was requested by Police Chief Roger Reece.
Reece requested $68,000 for two additional patrol cars, but Buffkin said there was not enough money to buy and outfit both. He did include enough money to give the department one new car.
Jonesville's police cars are aging, and increased maintenance costs are an issue. One patrol car has had trouble with the transmission, Buffkin said. Officers have to "hot seat" their cars, which involves keeping the cars running shift after shift with different drivers. This causes even more stress in the vehicles.
Buffkin said that issues like this will become more likely as the entire fleet of vehicles, including public works and other town vehicles, have an added year of wear on them.
The police have not had a new car in two years.
Starting next year the town will have to start paying back the money for the town's water plant. The amount is $120,000. Boonville is considering buying water from Jonesville, but even with their added revenue Jonesville would not see a profit for at least two years.
Buffkin said the timing was good for interest rates on the payments, though. Rates are some of the lowest they have ever been and even with increases the price will not go above 3.25 percent.
The possibility of tax reworking at the state level was a bright spot during the discussions. Talks are ongoing in Raleigh concerning the elimination of several small taxes like the beverage tax on alcohol and a proposed hike in sales tax to 8 percent.
The increases in sales tax would hopefully offset the loss of the smaller taxes and ensure everyone pays taxes fairly, Buffkin said. Property taxes are the only revenue Jonesville has control over, as sales taxes are set by the state. If the sales tax increases, property owners would not have to shoulder all the responsibility.
However, Buffkin said the state had not produced real-world figures to what the tax increases would actually bring in.
Sales taxes work on the county level, not based on what city they are collected in. Jonesville's large sales base of hotels and restaurants send their sales taxes to the state, which then distribute them to Yadkin County. Yadkin County then divvies up the total by population.
Jonesville would receive a portion of the earnings because of its size, but the amount would not be exactly what was collected in the town.
The town does receive all of the occupancy taxes brought in by its hotels, though.
Jonesville would however benefit along with other areas of the community if a new retail store was built in Yadkinville, as the taxes would be subject to the same standards.
The town's greenway has money left dedicated for it from grants. If a proposed westward expansion is approved the money will go toward that, but if not the money and the expenses both disappear. Either way the town's budget will be unaffected.
The town is beginning to look at new options for trash pickup to cut costs. Currently the trash costs residents $1 a day.
The Jonesville Fire Department and the former town hall buildings are kept up as part of the recommended $22,000 maintenance and repair budget under the public buildings section of the budget.
Buffkin said the town was keeping just enough energy in the building "to keep the pipes from freezing." Commissioner Danny Lewis suggested selling the town hall building and the town's property across from the Jonesville Library to fund a new building for the library.
More discussion on the suggestion is expected at the next council meeting in May.
A second budget meeting will be held next Friday morning, April 19, at 8 a.m.

Saturday, July 13, 2013
They say once you become a parent, you never sleep again. So far, "they" have been right. We've spent the last week logging so many hours in the pool that my two youngest, Emma and Sadie, who normally have white blonde hair, have turned a nice shade of Oompa Loompa green. They have had diving contests with their friends, seen who could hold their breath the longest under water, raced across the pool, done flips under water and basically burned more energy in a few hours than I burn in a full week of being their mother.
A few nights ago, Sadie, my 4-year-old, passed out in front of the television while watching a movie with her sisters. It was nearly 7:30 p.m. so I scooped her up and put her in the bed for the night. The stomping of an unnamed smart-mouthed sister being sent to bed early for disrespect woke her less than an hour later. I was more than a little annoyed, because now Sadie had just enough rest to fight sleep.
My husband and my visiting mother helped to get all three girls settled for the night and after putting Sadie back in the bed three or four times, my husband fell asleep while the house fell silent and I read a book.
I love that time of night. My house is full but quiet. Crickets and frogs are singing outside my windows and I'm usually the only one awake. I read for a few hours, then put in my ear plugs that became a habit when Aubrey, my 8-year-old, was a baby. I could still hear her cry, but every snort or shifting of covers didn't send me sitting upright in bed.
I was just beginning to drift off to sleep when I heard a crash.
Heck, I even felt it. I wasn't sure if it was thunder or if someone had fallen out of the bed, so I removed an earplug and listened for someone to cry. Silence. I slipped the earplug back in my ear and laid down as my bedroom door opened and little feet shuffled in.
In the darkness of my room I couldn't see who it was, so I whispered, "Sadie? Emma? Who is that?"
No one answered but slowly Emma, my 7-year-old, stumbled to my bed. I turned my cellphone on to see her as she tried to climb in my bed.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" I whispered.
Emma looked at me, confused and shrugged.
"Why are you up?" I asked.
She shrugged again.
"Do you want me to go put you back in your bed or sleep on the little bed?" I asked. My children are no longer allowed to sleep in the bed with Zeb and me after the last few occasions left him getting head butted all night while I was kicked in the head, back and stomach, repeatedly. We have a small mattress under our bed that can be whipped out in a second for distressed children.
Emma shrugged and nodded.
I got out of the bed to take her back to her bed and as I got to the hallway, I felt around me in the dark for her head.
Not feeling her or hearing her nearby, I turned on the hall light just in time to see her climbing into my spot in the bed and pulling the covers over her head.
"What are you doing?" I hissed, coming back in the room, "I thought you wanted me to take you back to your room?"
She nodded and shrugged for the hundredth time and I giggled as she reached her arms up for me to pick her up. I lifted her out of the bed and she promptly passed out on my shoulder.
She barely weighs enough to matter, but her long arms and legs flailed and got caught on every single doorway between my bedroom and hers.
When I finally maneuvered into her bedroom I saw that Sadie, still sleeping, was wrapped like a burrito in her comforter on the floor beside her bed. She had fallen off her bed in a thud so loud, it had shaken the whole house and woken up her sister, but she was oblivious.
As I tucked Emma into bed, I convinced her to take off the fleece pajama pants she was wearing.
It was making me sweat just looking at them. She rolled over and was instantly asleep - I'm not sure she was ever awake.
I picked Sadie up, unraveled her blankets and tucked her back in without her eyes ever opening, I made my way back to my bed.
In the morning, I walked into the kitchen to find my mother making breakfast for the two sleeping wonders of the world.
"Good Grief. Y'all were wild last night," I said.
"What happened?" My mother asked, "Emma said she fell out of her pants last night and she doesn't know how!"
"That's all you remember?" I asked.
Emma nodded then giggled hysterically as I told her everything that happened the night before while Sadie yelled at me, "I did not fall out of my bed."
Next time, I think I'm just going to leave her there.

text: Utterly Becoming is described as a "creamy beige." It's a light-medium rosy beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was lightly creamy and easy to spread and blend on the skin. It had opaque color coverage, and it wore well for twelve hours without fading or creasing. Urban Decay Freestyle (LE, $18.00) is a powder product. MAC Inner Strength (LE, $15.00) is a powder product. See comparison swatches. I don't have it swatched (and I'm not sure I have it at all), but I believe Painterly is grayer/cooler-toned.

My mother certainly cooked. She simply didn't enjoy it much. Her best recipes came from friends or family (not sure we would have made it to adulthood without the recipes sent by her mother and sisters). She did have a couple go-to recipes she pulled out every Christmas that were outstanding. Both came straight from the White House (via my grandmother) - Mamie Eisenhower's Million Dollar Fudge and Jackie Kennedy's Baked Fruit.
We would make pans full of the fudge and set them in the garage (often sitting on top of the car) to cool. At the time it seemed reasonable. I can't imagine doing it today - but then my garage isn't even fit for a car. It was great fudge and I am forever grateful to Mrs. Eisenhower for that sweet memory.
Jackie's baked fruit is still one of my favorite recipes. I, too, trot it out over the holidays. I believe she served it as a dessert, but in our home it was and is a side dish. Easy, yummy and spiked. What more could one want?
Jackie's Baked Fruit Casserole
(serves 6-8)
Grate rind of 1 orange and 1 lemon.
Add to 1/2 c. light brown sugar, packed, and 1/4 t. nutmeg.
Slice orange and lemon into thin slices. Remove seeds.
Drain: 1 8 oz. can apricots
1 8-3/4 oz. can pineapple slices
1 8-3/4 oz. can sliced peaches
1 17 oz. can pitted Bing cherries
1 8 oz. can pears
Combine fruits. Butter a 1 qt. casserole and arrange fruit in layers sprinkling each layer with some brown sugar. Top with 1/4 c. kirsch.
Bake 30 minutes in medium oven. Serve warm.

The Most Genius Love Advice Ever (From 9-Year-Olds and 99-Year-Olds!)
The Most Genius Love Advice Ever (From 9-Year-Olds and 99-Year-Olds!)
This love advice is simple, sweet and, well, pretty spot on. Why didn't we ask them before?SEE MORE
Should you move for a boyfriend?"If you had a boyfriend who moved away, I think you should probably go halfway between your home and his. To be close to your family and him. But visiting him and staying where you are is OK too."
—Mia Pollack, 9
What's the best way to get over a breakup?"Find somebody else you can enjoy! Have a diversion, a pastime, a project, do some volunteer work, something to keep your mind busy so that you're not fretting about it."
—Catherine Schneider, 99
Should you date someone older or younger?"I don't think you should date someone older or younger than you, 'cause then you don't have as many connections. If you're with someone your age, you have a lot more things to talk about."
—Rosalee Lachner, 9
How much does physical appearance matter?"It matters to a certain degree, but he can't help the way God made him. If he's neat and clean and doesn't have a big wad of gum in his mouth, that wouldn't go against him for me. My husband didn't have much hair, but he knew how to be generous and kind and gentle."
—Eirlys Poole, 99
How can I turn something casual into more?"In a way, it's out of your hands. A romance depends very much on circumstances. Developing a deep friendship with someone is a very good idea. Be available but try not to tie a person down until they want to be tied down by you. Having 11 grand-children and 22 great-grandchildren, I've seen a great many romances develop, and in order for them to be real and lasting, it's got to be something happening to both people."
—Esther Tuttle, 99
What movie gets it right about love?"I think Letters to Juliet was kind of romantic. In the end they decided to get married or something. If someone writes you letters, you should meet them."
—Karla Blake, 9
Should a man pay on the first date?"Yes, what else would he do? Ask her to go to dinner and then say, 'You take the bill; I'll leave the tip'? I don't think there can be any other answer to that!"
—Catherine Schneider, 99
Should a man pay on the first date?"No. 'Cause then he'll think that you're spoiled. You should volunteer."
—Erin Feiglin, 9
How do you know it's love?"I figured this out from my experience: It's love if he blushes when you talk to him, and when you look at him, he won't make eye contact."
—Rachel Katz, 9
My friend's boyfriend is a jerk. Can I tell her?"Say, 'I know you really like your boyfriend, but you deserve a lot better, because I know you better than he does.' But you don't want to say it like, 'I really hate your boyfriend!' You want to say it nicely."
—Shannon Mulligan, 9

Chuck's List: Giving a golf clap to some passengers
A one-man opinion poll.
Nick Saban
Nick Saban
The man has no sense of humor, a questionable sense of loyalty and to my knowledge has never seen "The Sixth Sense" (perhaps he has, but I needed a third sense), but he is simply the best college football coach of his time. Monday night, Alabama won a third national title in four years under Saban. He's now won four in his career, tying him for second all-time behind another Alabama coach, Bear Bryant. They will soon be making a statue of Saban to sit outside the stadium, 'Bama mothers will begin naming their sons Nick or even Saban, and Bible scripture will be changed in Tuscaloosa to mention "The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost and The Saban." Welcome to Alabama. The state that takes its college football most seriously now has the most serious program of the modern era, and the primary reason for their success is their very serious coach who doesn't get outworked and never misses a trick. Don't be surprised if Saban and the Tide make it four in five seasons next year, unless of course he bolts for another job, runs off with Katherine Webb or starts to see dead people.
Recent Passengers of Air Icelandair
Recent Passengers of Air Icelandair
You've probably seen it. The photo has certainly been everywhere. A man duct taped to his seat on an airplane bound for America. Reportedly, the passenger flipped out, began talking jibberish and was physically assaulting other passengers. Now, it's one thing to confront chaos, but it's an entirely different matter when confronting chaos while on an airplane. I have no doubt the flight attendants have a procedure for handling such bizarre situations, but in this case the passengers took matters into their own hands. They didn't fight the mad passenger. They didn't sneak up and club him over the head. No, they restrained him and duct taped him to his seat, thus saving themselves from the threat and frankly they saved him from himself. The photo has made the rounds and people have criticized the tactic used, but I say brilliant work passengers of Air Icelandair!
Kathy Griffin and Brent Musberger
Kathy Griffin and Brent Musberger
I'm not a fan of Kathy Griffin or Brent Musburger and I certainly believe they acted a bit foolishly during recent telecasts on CNN and ESPN, but I'm going to be the one person in America who sticks up for them. The networks are to blame for the controversies the two personalities sparked. Every year, CNN asks Kathy Griffin to join their network for New Year's and every year she embarrasses Anderson Cooper, and every year she ramps up her efforts to do so. CNN loved the attention they received from her inappropriate kissing gestures. Their high road act shouldn't fool anybody. In Musburger's case, it was the director of the championship game on ESPN Monday who decided to put Katherine Webb on the screen a thousand times during the broadcast. It was the director could have whispered in Brent's ear, "Hey you went too far with the girl. Tone it down." But he didn't. ESPN and CNN got exactly what they wanted from their broadcasts. Attention.Then they used Griffin and Musburger as their fall girl and guy.
Dr. William Davis
Dr. William Davis
The cardiologist has sparked the hottest trend in dieting today. In his book "Wheat Belly," Davis has urged Americans to eliminate wheat from their diet and his message has been working. Dr. Davis' book is flying off shelves (and into Kindles), there are now more volunteers for a wheat-free diet (including Karie Dozer, Keith Olbermann, and Posh Spice) than there are celiac disease sufferers (people who can't eat wheat), and millions more who are considering the switch. But Dr. Davis isn't satisfied. He began his crusade by describing wheat as a "chronic poison." He has now taken to comparing wheat to cocaine addiction. Whoa, Doc! Slow down! I've never heard of a wheat baby or a wheat head, and I've never seen a prominent member of New Edition mainlining Gold Medal flour off the bathroom counter at Pussycat Lounge. I think Davis' theory has merit, but he's gone way overboard. This man is either the most concerned physician in the world or he's in the midst of his one chance to make millions and he's going to scrap for every dollar he can get before his diet is discovered to be a fraud, just like all the others.
The First to Report
The First to Report
This week we recognized the two-year anniversary of the 2011 Tucson shooting that left six dead and Gabby Giffords severely wounded. Many are focused on the gun debate topic, which is undoubtedly the hottest discussion going on the talk show circuit today. But I want to commit some time to another issue: the media member and his/her reckless pursuit to be "the first to report." We should have learned our lesson after NPR erroneously reported Giffords died from her gunshot wound, but apparently we didn't. We were deluged with false reports the day of the Newtown shooting, including the wrong picture and name of the shooter. This just shouldn't happen. Against heightened competition for the story, the pressure to be first has disgracefully trumped what should always be our highest objective as journalists: to be accurate.
The Hall of Fame Voter
The Hall of Fame Voter
Wednesday, the Baseball Writers Association of America will again cast votes for who deserves entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and this year's decision will be the most difficult this hapless group has ever confronted. Nearly every new player up for consideration is linked to the Steroid Era of baseball, and the writers have no clue as to how to proceed. Some have argued that the writers should boycott the vote as a way to emphasize baseball's disgust with the Steroid Era, which has tarnished the game, the sports' record book and the Hall of Fame discussion itself. Other writers have claimed they'll never vote for a player linked to PEDs, even though they have. That's the harsh truth. The baseball writers have screwed this process up so royally in the past, there is no set of rules to use as a guide anymore. So what are they doing? Factless scribes are determining their votes based upon who they think have used steroids. Sounds fail-proof to me. The writers have every right to be disgusted with the players, but they should be disgusted with themselves as well. They played a role in the Steroid Era too. We all knew it was going on. Why didn't they write more about it?

Hell NO!! don't even say that we don't want crazy teen believers in the movie theaters!!!
Oh, please God, no!!!! I will have to boycott!!!!
The thought of watching Justin Bieber get run over by a Cadillac, falling into the abyss under the mountains, being beaten by Gasher, and then getting hit by a van may be EXTREMELY appealing; however, I still must disagree with him being cast as Jake, if for no other reason than because Jake is supposed to be the most bad ass kid of all time.
OMG. Somebody resurrected this thread. Ugh.
Sorry bout that
I don't like his music at ALL but he seems like a decent role model for kids and he kind of DOES fit the profile.
I'm personally interested in the kid that was in Bridge to Terabithia and is recently starring with THE ROCK aka Dwanye Johnson in this new mystery island-type movie.
Please no! I agree that the role is big and I personally think that an unknown actor should play him. Sorta of like the kids in Harry Potter.
Too soft, too gentle, too annoying - and I do apologize if I am offending any fan...
He's to old anyway, you need a ten year old... Especially if it becomes a series on HBO....
