9 Awesome French Cheeses Everyone Should Know
The French enjoy a lot of cheese. And more importantly, they are deeply connected to and proud of their cheese. As well they should be! They have a rich and storied cheese history, a deep-rooted culture of cheese, and more than a thousand cheeses in their lexicon. These are the nine you should absolutely know. More

Finally got a chance to see these guys live a couple nights ago. I've communicated with Bryan Beller for a number of years now, and I still remember the bass clinic when he told me this band was going to happen and how excited he was. He was right - they're smoking tight. Marco Minnemann is an awesome drummer, and, being guitarists, I probably don't have to tell you anything about Guthrie Govan. Is there nothing that guy can't play? At a different clinic, Bryan told a story about how Marco wasn't sure anyone could really play "Bluesf*ckers" because of how complex it was, and as they walked into their rehearsal space, Guthrie was there practicing it - at double the speed.
It was great to see them draw a full house of enthusiastic people - they went over big time. Bryan and I have kind of joked about how he couldn't seem to draw crowds here, but this night he finally got the audience he deserved here. Great mix of music from both studio albums, including several of my favorites, including "Flatlands", "Bluesf*ckers" and an epic "Sweaty Knockers". Marco told a great story about the song "Ohhh Nooo". Seems the band was pushing their gear up a ramp to the stage when Guthrie's amp when over the side. That bit is nearly cut out of this video, but the rest of the story is here, if a bit difficult to hear (FYI - a couple NSFW words).
Got to meet Marco and Guthrie afterwards and talk to Bryan. All three are just absolute gems. I mentioned this elsewhere, but I told Guthrie my goal was to someday play six notes as cleanly as he did. He paused for a second, then said, "Well, we all have our journeys with the instrument." Beautiful!
If you get a chance, it's well worth seeing these guys. If I had the energy for an 8-hour round trip this weekend, I'd be off to see them again. But I'll see Marco and Bryan in about six weeks as part of Joe Satriani's band.
Couple pics...

There was a TV behind Bryan on stage. At one point while they were tearing it up, I looked over to see Phil Collins singing over Bryan's shoulder:

Maximum time to complete degree: The candidate must complete the MBA for Professionals degree within six (6) years from date of initial enrollment in the degree program.
Submit petition for degree: Candidates for graduation must submit a "petition for degree" at the beginning of their final semester in the MBA for Professionals program.
Curricular changes: In the event the curriculum is changed or graduation requirements are otherwise altered, the rules in effect at the time of the student's entry to the program will apply unless otherwise stated.
Academic Regulations
Good Standing
All students must maintain 'Good Standing' for continued enrollment and graduation. "Good Standing" is defined as adhering to the academic policies, standards of conduct and financial policies of the Atkinson School and Willamette University.
Good Academic Standing
All students must maintain a cumulative Atkinson School grade point average of 3.00 (B) or better and make satisfactory progress toward degree completion to be in "Good Academic Standing."
It is the responsibility of the instructor to assign grades. The Atkinson School uses a letter grade system consisting of seven regular grades. Their grade point values are:
Other grades in the Atkinson School MBA for Professionals grading system include the grades below. Each has specific requirements and implications:
I = Incomplete
W = Withdrawal from course
Regulations Regarding "I" Grades
A grade of Incomplete (I) may be assigned by the professor for any course to indicate that all work has been completed except a final exam or an assignment given by the instructor. If more than a final exam or assignment is required to complete a course, it is necessary to withdraw from the course.
"I" grades must be cleared from the transcript by completion of the course work during the next regular academic semester. Failure to clear an "I" before the end of the following semester will result in the "I" becoming and "F".
It is the student's responsibility to take the initiative and stay in contact with the faculty member of the course for which the "I" grade was received. It is also the student's responsibility to complete the requirements within the one semester time limit as described above.
If a student formally withdraws from school before the end of the following semester, the "I" grade will not be converted to an "F". However, the student must complete the course by the end of the first semester in which they return to the Atkinson School.
Regulations Regarding "F" Grades
"F" grades are calculated in the grade point average and result in zero credits earned toward graduation.
A student who receives an "F" in a required course must repeat the course and earn a grade of "C" or higher in the repeated course.
When a course is repeated, both the "F" grade and the grade received in the repeated course appear on the transcript, and both grades are calculated in the grade point average.
"F" grades have very serious consequences. A student anticipating an "F" in a course is advised to withdraw from the course prior to the final exam of the course.
Grading Regulations Regarding Issues of Academic Honesty and Ethical Behavior
Students found to have committed plagiarism, cheating, or unauthorized possession or disposition of academic materials will receive a zero (0%) grade for the specific examination, test, paper, assignment, or project in question for their first offense. A second offense will lead to automatic expulsion.
Complete information about the definitions, policies and procedures related to Academic Honesty and Ethical Behavior is presented in the Codes of Conduct section of this handbook.
Grade Changes
Changes in grades recorded on a transcript are permitted only under the following conditions:
- Error by the instructor in computing or reporting a grade.
- Completion of work in a course for which the grade of "I" has been recorded.
- Administrative error in the reporting or recording of a grade.
Grade Appeal
The Atkinson School has a formal grade appeal process (described below). Students who want to use the formal grade appeal process as their first step are encouraged to do so. Students who want to use a more informal process as their first step are encouraged to communicate directly with the professor, and/or the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission. If the issue is not resolved at the informal level, the next step for the student would be to begin the formal grade appeal process.
Formal Grade Appeal Process: The first step of a specific course grade appeal must be for the student to take the issue to the instructor in question or to the chairperson of Atkinson School's Student Affairs Committee (SAC). If the faculty member involved with the grade appeal is the chairperson of the SAC, the student may take the issue to the chairperson of the previous year.
If the issue is not resolved to the student's satisfaction at this level of appeal, the student can submit two (2) copies of his/her appeal in writing to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission, who will then distribute them as follows: one (1) copy to the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) Chair and one (1) copy to the instructor involved.
Written grade appeals must reach the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission within forty-five (45) days following the general notification of grades, otherwise the grade will stand as posted and no further appeal will be available. It is the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission's responsibility to notify both the SAC Chairperson and the instructor in question about the appeal.
Upon receipt of the written appeal, the SAC Chairperson will make a written request for the involved instructor's position, also to be submitted in writing. The SAC Executive Committee will then meet to review and discuss all appeal particulars, including but not limited to interviewing the parties involved in the appeal. If a conflict of interest arises within the SAC Executive Committee, the SAC Chairperson will replace the said compromised individual with an ad-hoc member of similar standing.
The process of appeal will occur during the semester (fall or spring) following the initial filing of the appeal. The appeal process is complete when the SAC reaches a consensual decision and the said decision is rendered in writing and distributed to the student and to the instructor in question.
If either party is dissatisfied with the Committee's decision, they may make a written appeal to the Dean, whose decision is final and binding.
Course Waivers
MBA for Professionals courses are not easy to waive and most courses not eligible for a waiver. However, students who have attained a professional credential that matches the content of the relevant GSMPR course may submit a written request for a waiver review to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission. Students who are granted a waiver for a course are responsible for the content of the waived course as it is applied in other GSMPR courses.
Written request: The written request must be submitted at least six weeks before the beginning of the relevant course and must include: 1) a written a rationale for the waiver, and 2) supporting information that includes a copy of the relevant credential attained and a complete discussion of the educational process required for completion of the credential.
The submitted request will be reviewed by the faculty member of the related course and then reviewed by the Senior Associate Dean. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. The decision of the Senior Associate Dean is final.
Maximum of 4 credits from waived courses: A maximum of four (4) MBA for Professionals course credits may be waived for eligible students. Students on academic probation in the MBA for Professionals program are not eligible for waivers.
In addition, the combination of waived credits and transferred credits from other universities (see policy below) cannot exceed (8) semester credits.
Transfer Credits
MBA course work completed at a program accredited by AACSB International prior to enrollment in the MBA for Professionals may be considered for transfer. Requests for transfer credit are evaluated on a case by case basis and require the approval of the Senior Associate Dean.
Approved transfer credits are applied toward credits required for graduation. Grades earned in courses transferred to the MBA program are not used in calculating the student's grade point average. Students who are granted transfer credits for a course are responsible for the content of the Willamette course as it is applied in other GSMPR courses. Students on academic probation in the MBA for Professionals program are not eligible for transfer credits.
Eligibility requirements: To be eligible for transfer consideration, previous course work must meet all of the following requirements:
- Be a graduate level MBA course from an AACSB International accredited program
- Completed within three (3) years of entry to the Atkinson School
- Show a grade of B (3.00) or higher
- Credits earned cannot have been used to complete a previous degree
- Credits earned must equal a minimum of 4 semester credits of related course work (4 semester credits is equal to 6 quarter credits)
- Meet the criteria set by the faculty member of the selected coursework
Written request: Students requesting evaluation of transfer credits earned prior to enrollment at the Atkinson School must submit a written request to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission, who will take the request to the Senior Associate Dean. The written request must include a rationale for the transfer credits, a copy of the course syllabus for the MBA course previously completed, and an official copy of transcript showing completion of the course and the grade received. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. The decision of the Senior Associate Dean is final.
Maximum of 8 credits from transferred courses: No more than 8 semester credits of course work may be approved for transfer to the MBA for Professionals program. In addition, The combination of transferred credits from other universities and waived credits cannot exceed (8) semester credits.
Transfer Credits from the Atkinson School Certificate in Public Management
Eight credits earned through the CPM (Certificate in Public Management) may be transferred towards credit for the MBA for Professionals program. The Dean, in consultation with the Director of Admissions, will determine the specific courses for which the CPM credits will be applied.
Students Enrolled Part-Time
MBA for Professionals students who are enrolled in one to seven credits of Willamette MBA course work in any semester are considered part-time students. Part-time students must meet all academic and conduct regulations governing full-time students in the Willamette University MBA for Professionals program.
Requests for Exceptions to Academic Policies or Procedures
Students requesting an exception to academic policies or procedures must submit a written request and rationale for the request. The proposal should be directed to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission (email@example.com) who will confer with the Senior Associate Dean for a decision. The following are required of all written proposals.
- The student must explain the request in detail
- The student must provide information about any discussion or tentative agreements that may have occurred between the student and a faculty member (if any)
- If a tentative agreement has already been made with a faculty member, the student must provide the signature of the faculty member involved or the faculty member must send an email directly to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission discussing their level of support for the proposal and any other comments or suggestions
- The student must state a clear rationale for the request as to why it is the best alternative for their educational and career goals
If the proposal is not approved, the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission will notify the student via email.
If the proposal is tentatively approved, the student must complete an interview (in person or on the telephone) with the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission to discuss the implications and regulations governing the requested exception and any future implications of the exception.
Following the interview, the student must sign in writing that they understand and accept the exception that has been made and the conditions and regulations governing the exception. The signature is required for the exception to be implemented. Failure to provide a written statement accepting the conditions and regulations governing an exception voids any tentatively approved exception to policy or procedures.
Students should note that the following basic requirements of the MBA degree are never modified:
- Satisfactory completion of the minimum number of credits required for graduation
- Satisfactory completion of required courses (or substitute courses approved by the Senior Associate Dean)
- Minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 in Willamette MBA course work

A television advertisement targeting U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for his support of the MOX project and the Savannah River Site began running today.
The 30-second commercial, funded by Friends of the Earth, points toward Graham's advocacy of the project in less-than-flattering terms.
Friends of the Earth is an organization where members refer to themselves as stewards of the planet, placing an emphasis on protecting the environment.
The advertisement began being broadcast on Wednesday in the Washington, D.C., market on FOX, MSNBC and on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," and is also being aired in the Columbia and Aiken-Augusta markets.
The commercial uses well-dressed porcine characters to depict lobbyists, with the revelation that one of the primary benefactors of the plant design and construction project is a French company, condemning the U.S. senator for his advocacy of what the Friends of the Earth believes is unnecessary spending, calling for the elimination of funds to be used for the building of the MOX fuel fabrication facility at SRS.
"We wanted to call out Sen. Graham's determination to continue uncontrolled spending on a project that is $6 billion over budget, behind schedule and has no market for its product," said Tom Clements, Friends of the Earth's South Carolina-based nuclear campaigner. "MOX has become nothing more than a pork-barrel project used by Sen. Graham to line the pockets of special interests."
However, Graham remains steadfast in support of the $7.7 billion project, and cited that the U.S. Department of Energy has already made a commitment to the State of South Carolina on plutonium disposition, and has a responsibility to fulfill its obligations on the program which removes a substantial amount of weapons-grade plutonium – which can be used to make nuclear warheads – off the market.
"President Obama and DOE must be held accountable and forced to carry through on the commitments which have been made," said Graham, in a press release. "Never before has the local community had their faith in DOE and SRS tested as they do now. Delays in the MOX program have caused the community to once again fear that the plutonium currently at SRS will remain there indefinitely.
"South Carolina has always been a willing partner in carrying out the missions critical to our national security at SRS. In fact, the community surrounding the site is widely regarded as the most supportive community of any DOE site in the country. We want to be able to continue this partnership, but recent actions from President Obama and DOE are hurting the partnership."

Rated 3.2 out of 5Â by 17 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Felinely Returned I loved the big hood and pockets but I had to return this jacket for one major reason: It was ridiculously thin fabric! When I spend this amount of money on a jacket I expect that it will keep me warm. The fabric was thinner than some shirts I own. I do not recommend this item to anyone looking for something warm. 10.6.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Kyleedahl perfect find I love this jacket. When I saw this jacket for the first time, I fell in love though the price was a little to pricy for me. When the jacket went on sale I knew I had to try it on. I was a little skeptical due to the other reviews but Im so happy I did. Yeah, this jacket is a bit big and baggy but thats the look of it. I normally wear a S in FP sometimes a M but with this coat I went with the XS and it still has nice roomy feel without it feeling like a big sack on you. I went with the terra cotta color and it goes with everything! Can't stop wearing it! Great coat for the sale price! 11.9.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by laurajut eh I actually hate this jacket. I totally forgot I even owned it until I just saw it pop up with new colors. It is SO large that I cant even wear it. Unfortunately I lost the packing slip before I realized. The hood is huge and oddly proportioned and way too floppy. The actual jacket hangs really low in the front because of the weight. I could pretty much never get it to fit correctly or feel normal on my shoulders. Don't waste ya time. 2 stars because the corduroy is really soft and the green is a nice shade. 7.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KatInTheHat LOVE THIS JACKET This jacket has an absolutely beautiful, slouchy fit. The fabric feels nice, the drawstrings allow for style versatility, and the oversized hood is perfect for rainy/cold weather. Though the material is thinner than expected, the jacket still keeps me warm in colder environments (and I love that the jacket fits large enough to wear a variety of layers underneath). The only minor disappointment I have is the fact that the actual zipper detail is not as pictured. 10.17.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by stephie15 Unique and Casual but a few issues This jacket is perfect if you are looking for a casual, light-weight find. I wear it with almost anything (from dresses to jeans) and love the way it looks. I too was disappointed about the detailing (it's not grey, just the same green). Also, the strings at the bottom are great for cinching it in, yet they don't stay inside the jacket and I already lost the one on the right. Too bad, if you utilize the strings in the waist and at the bottom you can really play around with the shape! 10.9.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by littleclaud lighter than i expected.... ....but fits amazing! 9.26.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by whatmovesyou meh nice roomy oversized fit (loose in a good way), wish the zipper wasn't white, too high contrast, otherwise a beautiful design BUT terracotta color horribly inaccurate. This was a very, very pale saddle brown, not reddish at all. That was very disappointing. if I'd bought it at full price I would have returned it right away, for the sale price it was ok but not great 3.2.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by natalia1 looks good on me This jacket is adorable. the corduroy is really nice and soft. that jacket is extremely large, but you have to fit it to your body. there are strings and tassels that help you shape it. The hood of the jacket is large but i love it. You have to make it work wear it with layers. And if you style it just right this jacket is an awesome piece to own. Im in love and very happy i made the purchase. I say go for it! 12.10.2013

Concordia University Department of Theatre and Dance presents Stone Hearts by Mark Rosenwinkel, Nov. 8-10 and Nov. 15-17, 2013 at the Graebner Memorial Chapel. The play is aForgiveness 360 production in collaboration with Spirit in the House.
Stone Hearts is a coming of age story of Muslim adolescent, set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War in the early 1990's. Camila is a Bosnian teenager from a small village, living across a variety of cultures, East and West. The sudden onset of a horrific ethnic conflict, however, plunges her entire family into chaos as they are forced to become refugees in their own land. Her tale is narrated by a chorus of Bosnian women, who add details of their own stories as they go. Drawn from research conducted by Dr. Cheryl Robertson in her study Patterns of Survival, the material represents a living testimony of the effects of war on women and families. The genocidal conflict at the core of the story also furnishes the centerpiece of the second annual Forgiveness 360 event, which will include not only the production of Stone Hearts, but a series of speakers, story-telling, and other performances exploring aspects of forgiveness on a societal level.
Forgiveness 360 is a collaboration between The Concordia University Department of Theatre and Dance and Spirit in the House, a non-profit organization producing theater, dance, music, visual and film series events that reflect and encourage understanding of Spiritual Diversity.
The Graebner Memorial Chapel is located at 1259 Carroll Avenue, St. Paul, Minn.

Grinnell-in-London currently offers up to fifteen slots for internships, up to three in the British parliament and up to twelve at-large. Because the number of students in our program who can serve as interns is regulated by the UK Border Agency, selection of students for internship slots is usually competitive. Selection is based on students' academic records, the viability of matching a student's interests with the kinds of internships available in London, and the suitability of a student's background for a proposed internship. An intern must have something to offer a prospective host.
Students articulate their interest in serving as interns as well as how internships suits their backgrounds and goals in their application to GIL. Upon being accepted into the program and awarded one of the internship slots, students work with our London internship coordinator to secure a position.
All internships are 4 credits, but interns are also required to take a complementary 2 credit course that structures reflections and analysis on the experience and provides the basis for earning academic credit. Parliamentary interns register for SST 195: The British Parliament as well as POL 295: Governing Britain and its Regions, and they are also provided with access to the Senate House Library at University College London.

Hey everyone I have been thinking of this for awhile now. I just bought a Mac-10 in 9mm that uses Sten mags. I wanted to know how do I go about building a pistol AK in 9mm using Sten mags.
Im basing this off the AKS-74U model. The only thing Im not wanting is a stock.
My questions are-
How do I take an AK flat and make it to except Sten mags?
Should this gun use the return gass port or whats a better way?
Where can I find a 9mm carbine barrel?
Could I use an AR barrel in 9mm?
Where is the best place to buy a parts kit?
Would I have to have a AKS-74U parts kit?
Im just thinking of being able to use my sten mags on another gun and looking for a fun project to do. I will have help in building this and really need to know what parts and the best way to go about this project. Thanks all.

Part of me is terrified and part of me is excited. My poor husband is afraid to believe its true and then I end up with AF this weekend. In a way its sad that we can't be as excited as we were the first time, because the fear of it happening again will always lurk, but I still think its the best decision we made. I have a feeling that every little thing will be questioned this time around. He doesnt even want me doing dishes because thats too strenuous in his book.
I hope everyone's pregnancy is completely uneventful!!!!!

I'm a developer/system admin/unix guy so I have many IDEs/Editors/Terminals running and I'm also temperature freak... I like it cold, here are a few tips I did to keep my MacBook Pro Unibody under 46 degrees C ~ 115 degrees F. Please list your tips.
- Clean your MacBook Pro fans from within... it's simple, open the bottom closure and blow the hell out of these fans
- Download and install Fan Control and run your fans @ 2800-3000 RPM
- Ditch all browsers to Safari, i tried them all Firefox up to version 5 and 7 (Aurora), Chrome and Opera... nothing beats the CPU usage (less of it) than Safari. Also flash youtube videos run with less resources on Safari for some reason
- Use your faster GPU on AC Power, and lower on Battery power (use http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus for source-based GPU switching)
- Replace your internal hard drive with an SSD
- Keep your monitor running @ 90% brightness
- Keep your keyboard lights off or low

Toledo man turns hobby into Black Frog BreweryWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Dave Kubacki, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
For 10 years, Chris Harris served his country in the United States Army. After three and a half years of honing his craft, Harris has found a new way to serve his community: by brewing beer.
In May, Harris officially received approval from the Alcohol and Tobacco and Trade Bureau to open his nano-brewery, Black Frog Brewery.
While the Brewer's Association doesn't have an exact definition for a nano-brewery, it has been characterized as an operation of three barrels or less. Sometimes used by larger breweries as a creative outlet for experimentation and new recipes, nano-breweries are becoming more popular for home brewers looking to showcase their brewing talents in their communities. For Harris, his brewing skills were sharpened on the same system as many before him.
"I was really looking for a hobby at the time," Harris said. "I was coming home from work and was looking for something to do. I bought a Mr. Beer kit and a month and a half later, I was like, 'Wow, this is not half bad.' It just kind of snowballed from there. I started doing some research and reading about all-grain brewing. My first all-grain brew was just a made-up recipe and from there, I was hooked. I kept doing research and trying different recipes and people seemed to like it. I decided I wouldn't mind trying brewing at a professional level."
For Harris, choosing a name was essentially creating identity.
"I kicked around a lot of names," Harris said. "Of course, Toledo is the frog city and I am African-American. I put the two ideas together and thought, yeah, that actually sounds pretty cool."
Black Frog Brewery will join a growing list of breweries in the Toledo craft beer community including Maumee Bay Brewing Company, Great Black Swamp Brewing, Sugar Ridge Brewery and Black Cloister Brewing Company, which will be making its debut in Downtown Toledo in the near future. For Harris, it was important to figure out where he would fit into the growing beer community.
"I am a little bit different than everyone else," Harris said. "In a sense, I'm trying to reach a certain group of people who may not have been willing to try a craft beer, while catering to those who already enjoy them. I'm starting extremely small. Compared to the other breweries in town, I'm sort of a child. However, I'm trying to fit in a little niche market where I can experiment a lot with recipes and customize more than some of the larger breweries."
As an African-American, Harris said he sees and understands there is an opportunity to introduce craft beer to another segment of the population.
"I don't think minorities have really picked up on the craft beer craze yet," Harris said. "I'm hoping that is something I can bring attention to because it's a whole new market that could be opened up for the craft beer industry. It's nothing against Miller Lite or Bud Light, but if minorities are open to try different styles of beer, they may find something they enjoy better."
Black Frog's initial offerings will include a cream ale, a pale ale and a porter. In addition, Black Frog will release a whiskey ale quarterly, an India Pale Ale (IPA) semi-annually, and a Christmas ale annually. For Harris, the IPA may be the most special of all.
"The IPA is sort of a tribute to my father," Harris said. "He spent 35 years in the Air National Guard so my idea is to have the beer called Flying Frog in his honor."
While Harris will be starting small, distributing 22-ounce bottles (or "bombers" as they are called in the craft beer community), he hopes to continue growing and expanding.
"I would love to see this brewery grow and be able to brew every day," Harris said. "I think people associate Great Lakes Brewing Company with Ohio as whole. I'm hoping people associate Black Frog with Toledo."
Each batch of beer brewed by Black Frog will yield about 20 gallons of beer, the equivalent of 110 to 115 22-ounce bombers. Harris plans to sell these bottles at Churchill's Market, Andersons and possibly Joseph's Beverage Center.

I don't think this is as bad a move as some other guys have suggested. If Okami is coming towards the final run of his career, then why not remain active outside of the UFC, win a title over in Japan or elsewhere (I'm sure Bellator or even BAMMA will be clamouring to get their hands on him), and make a tonne of money to lead him into retirement.
White made a good point, Okami has become a gate-keeper for the division, and when you combine that with a technically-impressive but not fan-friendly style, and a bulging roster, it isn't much of a surprise that Okami has been given his walking papers.
I think Okami might get some impressive victories against lesser competition, maybe win a title, and will close out his career back in the UFC.
Favourite Fighters: A. Silva, Velasquez, Swanson, Bisping, W. Silva, Barnett, Faber, Dos Santos, Manuwa, McCall, Pickett & Poirier
Least-Favourite Fighters: Story, Sylvia, Browne & Lentz
0-1 on sig bets.
Dan, I know you're a big fan, but if there is a MW gatekeeper in the UFC, it's been Bisping...for years now.
Okami didn't get cut for being a gatekeeper. He didn't even get cut for being on the decline. He got cut because he's a guy who just goes out and does his job, he doesn't talk shit, he doesn't seek attention, he just goes out and fights. He's a top 5-7 talent that isn't controversial enough for the UFC...and worse, he's able to beat more charismatic guys and that would mess up the zuffa marketing machine.
And it's all about the zuffa marketing machine. It's not about talent, it's about sales.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Yeah, Bye.
WSOF Executive VP Offers Yushin Okami a Home in Their Organization via Twitter
UFC is a business. I'm confused how this is still an issue.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
It's his fighting style. You cannot deny this. Okami is being pushed to develop a standup game.
I see Okami going to ONE FC or WSOF. Yes, Okami is a top 5 MW still. Yes, the move is terribly inept if you look at his skill level rather than his marketability. But, Okami vs. Weidman is probably something the UFC doesn't want to see down the road unless Yushin improves his vertical game.
Yushin doesn't need wrestling lessons from Chael; Okami needs lessons on how to appeal to the American audience.

Jason Day birdied the final three holes to win the Canadian Open on Sunday, spoiling David Hearn's bid to become the first Canadian winner in 61 years.
Rory McIlroy pulled out of the British Open at St. Andrews on Wednesday with an ankle injury, the first time in 61 years the defending champion will not be playing.
PGA golfer Bubba Watson said he will paint over the Confederate flag that adorns the top of his General Lee car, one of the vehicles featured in the 1970s TV show "Dukes of Hazzard."
Jordan Spieth turned to his father Shawn on Sunday night, holding the U.S. Open trophy and saying he owed the victory to him.
Golf is the great revealer. Always has been, always will be.
Call them "browns" because they are hardly green.
So much for Chambers Bay being the star of this U.S. Open. Thursday turned into another horror show for Tiger Woods.
As tough as Chambers Bay Golf Club was supposed to play as the host of the U.S. Open, Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson both found a way to make it out of the first round with the lead at five-under 65.
A prediction on Fox Sports' coverage of its first U.S. Open:
Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth are the top ranked golfers in the world and as such are the odds-on favorites to win the 115th U.S. Open at Chambers Bay later this week.
Something has been missing from Adam Scott's golf game this season. That something would be caddie Steve Williams.
The U.S. Open is coming, and it's weird, treacherous and mind-blowing, with potential for great embarrassment.
Pete Geilich was once thrust into the middle of a world-changing event, so he knows history when he sees it.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Tiger Woods hoped to contend on the weekend, but the fact that he even finished The Players Championship was news in itself.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Sergio Garcia arrived at The Players Championship with good feelings about a course where few players have enjoyed consistent success.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Justin Thomas finally made up ground on moving day, and not just on the field at The Players Championship.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Tiger Woods closed Friday's round at The Players Championship with a birdie and a fist pump.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Golfer Kevin Na wants to be known for more than a bad hole and a bad habit.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Like he had done so many times when he ruled golf, Tiger Woods turned a shaky opening round into something to build on.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — The par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass played the role of spoiler once again during The Players Championship.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson . . . Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth?
A year ago, Jordan Spieth had the makings of golf's next star, yet the vulnerabilities of a 20-year-old finding his way on the PGA Tour.
There was an alligator and what appeared to be a half-eaten man.
Tiger Woods 2.0 is jovial. He is charming. He is self-effacing. He is treating reporters like his BFFs.
Ernie Els remembers it clearly, a second-round 67 in his first Masters in 1994, a move into the top five and an invigorating compliment from playing partner Ben Crenshaw.
Tiger Woods is ready for the Masters this week, but he had hoped to make his return to golf at the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago.
Rory McIlroy's final hole during his final tune-up for the Masters was flawless.
Daniel Berger did not realize he was going for history.
Morgan Hoffmann finally wobbled after dominating the first two days of action at Bay Hill.
The final round at Arnie's place promises to be a free-for-all and a potential nightmare for headline writers. Or, ahem, trophy engravers.
Morgan Hoffmann is moving so fast, his playing partner decided to just try to stay in his jet stream on Friday.
Calm skies, slowish greens and short rough have turned Bay Hill into Birdie Hill in the first two rounds.
The PGA Tour has a problem and a blessing rolled into one growing issue. The latest proof is leading the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Of all the names clumped near the top of the leaderboard, Morgan Hoffman might have been the least likely to be on top Thursday.
Arnold Palmer gave Morgan Hoffmann some advice when he was still a teenager.
Kevin Kisner, the last-minute replacement for Bubba Watson, shot a surprising 69 on Thursday. It was surprising because Kisner had never laid eyes on Bay Hill before teeing off.
He is ranked No. 319 in the world, but No. 1 in Arnold Palmer's heart. And finally, the numbers say Sam Saunders really belongs in his grandfather's tournament.
You don't want to rile the King.
Equipped with his first PGA Tour lead in 67 starts, Morgan Hoffmann played Friday like he wanted to keep it.
Growing up playing on public golf courses in New Mexico, Notah Begay knew little about Arnold Palmer.
Other than the 79 Tour victories, $600 million bank account and global appeal, Sean O'Hair finally can say he has something in common with Tiger Woods.
Two words: The Arnie.
Matt Every has been to the Bay Hill Club often, but he noticed something different as he drove in this time.
Daniel Berger had never been more nervous than when he faced 15-foot birdie putt to win last month's Honda Classic.
He got out of his car, put on his cap and sunglasses and walked confidently toward the clubhouse Monday. He wore a red shirt and black slacks. A white golf glove was perfectly folded into his back pocket.
Rory McIlroy will tee it up this week in his first Arnold Palmer Invitational securely the world's No. 1 golfer — in both the rankings and in the minds of his competition.
OCALA — Her name has been a mixed blessing, creating weighty expectations but also opportunities not all aspiring golfers enjoy.
OCALA — Golfer Lydia Ko's signature eyeglasses are gone, causing some double-takes — even from those who know her best.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Lady Mocs senior second baseman Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) was named to the Capitol One Academic All-District First Team Thursday afternoon as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). It is the second time in her career the Thomaston, Ga., native has been named to the District 3 team – the first coming in 2012.
This is the third season in a row a Lady Moc has been named a first-team academic all-district member, beginning with Chattanooga legend Tiffany Baker in 2011. The highly-decorated second baseman is now qualified to be named an Academic All-American.
Academic first-team members are selected based on both their performance on the field and in the class room. Athletically, Poteat is batting .335 with a team-best 56 hits this season. The speedy infielder has stolen a team-high 17 bases and currently ranks third all-time at UTC with 32 stolen bases.

When last we spoke a few weeks ago, you were just starting to get into offseason mode. What's been happening since then?
I've been busy. There's a long list of players we've been studying. We've started to get a better idea from St. Louis of what players they're going to be sending us so now we know what free agents we should target. We're narrowing our focus and ranking players and it's a long process but that's how you hopefully get some good players. A lot of them are still under contract so it's tough to make moves, but we're scouting. I was down in Wilkes-Barre and Providence watching those playoff games and Gene Ubriaco has been in Grand Rapids looking at them and Toronto. We've been all over, looking at players who are still in the playoffs. If they're at this stage the players and teams are obviously very good and we want to key on those players.
The team announced earlier this month that goaltender Matt Climie has been re-signed. How did that process go on your end?
We had been talking to Matt for a while. He wanted to be here and we wanted him here. It just came down to the dollar figure with his agent and we were able to get it done fast. I'm very happy to have him back. He's been great for us the past two seasons, a savior even. The first year he was here, Eddie Lack was struggling and Matt carried the team. Then last year with Eddie's injury, Matt had to carry the team again in a lot of games. Actually, he's been No. 1 here for two years. We're confident from the management side that he's a leader on and off the ice and we are very happy to have him in the organization.
Are you close to signing anyone else?
Not yet. We keyed on a few guys, but we've hit some bumps. Brett Sterling is going to head to Sweden and we'll miss his goal production. That's a hole we have to fill. We've talked to a bunch of players but most guys are still under contract so there's not a lot of movement. I think most teams are in the same area as us, making inquiries. There's also the partnership with St. Louis and working with them to make lists and trade information. We make a lot of inquiries because we want to ensure players are good team guys too. There have been guys we've scratched off our list because of poor reports. If a player doesn't meet the Wolves criteria as a person and a player, we don't want to pursue that. We want winners here.
Did you talk to Brett at all before he announced his decision?
Yes, he came in and we talked about it, but it's a family decision. He wants to try Europe before he comes back and settles down and this is the proper timing for his family. We don't begrudge him any of that, of course. We want him to do what's best for him.
Have discussions about next season intensified with St. Louis now that they're out of the playoff hunt?
They've got some more focus now on what they're doing as an organization up top and what their needs are up top. They're in the midst of having meetings amongst their staff and management in terms of where they want to go with some players. They have to make decisions about what players they want to offer contracts to and where those players are going to go. We kind of got a lay of the land after that meeting and I'll know what areas to fill in with our Wolves signings.
What's next on the agenda?
More scouting. See more teams. Keep going over the lists. There is so much criteria, not just by position but veterans and non-veterans. We only get five vets (players who have played 261 games in their professional career) and one vet-exempt (players who have played between 261 and 320 games). A lot of it is wait-and-see. There are certain guys on our list, but they're restricted free agents or the NHL team could make them an offer and keep them. We have more sub-lists going on and we play out the scenarios every day, from Plan A to B to C. It's a chess match, and we're just trying to play the game. People think in the summer that there's not much going on but I'm actually busier now. During the winter it's more just maintenance. I have meetings now, heading to the draft in a few weeks, going to prospect camps. It's a grind.

Frequently Asked Retirement Questions
Click on a question to be taken to the answer.
Q.1: How do I know if I'm under High-36 or the Final Pay plan?
A: The Date Initially Entered Military Service (DIEMS) determines who is in High-36 versus who may choose their retirement system, your DIEMS determines if you are under High-3 or the pre-1980 system referred to as Final Pay. Here are the common examples of circumstances that cross the September 8, 1980, date.
Return to Top
Q.2: I've always been told my Academy time doesn't count toward my retirement. You're telling me differently?
A: No. You've been told correctly. Academy time does not add to your years of service and, thereby, increase your retirement pay. But, the date you entered the Academy determines (in most cases) WHICH retirement system you receive.
Q.3: For retirement choice, when do I have to decide?
A: Typically, you must decide between 14 1/2 and 15 years of service. The date may be later if you receive your notice of eligibility late.
Q.4: When do I get the bonus?
A: Should you decide to obtain a single lump-sum payment, you will receive your bonus within 90 days you submit your election paperwork and it is accepted by your Service. Thus, you will normally be paid by the 15 year and 3 month point of your career. Alternatively, you may decide to accept your payment in installments over a period of up to five years. This alternative was authorized in the FY2002 NDAA, and, therefore, exact mechanics on this option will be forthcoming. An advantage of accepting your bonus over a period of time is that you will be able to place more funds (potentially the entire bonus) into the TSP.
Q.5: Suppose I take the Career Status Bonus and later change my mind, can I? Even if I give the bonus back?
A: Electing your retirement system is an irrevocable decision. You can not change your election, even if you return the Career Status Bonus. Your decision is not considered a final decision until you complete your 15th year of active duty service. Check carefully with your Service to see when your election will be considered final and thus, no longer revocable.
Q.6: What happens if I take the Career Status Bonus and am forced to separate?
A: Generally speaking, if you fail to complete a 20-year career, by law, you are required to return a pro-rated share of the retention bonus for the time you did not complete.
Q.7: When is it advantageous to take the bonus?
A: Each individual's unique circumstances will determine which retirement option is better. The CSB/REDUX option should be carefully considered for individuals who are planning longer careers. The multiplier under REDUX comes closer to the High-3 multiplier the longer the individual stays in beyond 20 years, and finally the multipliers become equal at 30 years. Also, everyone that invests the bonus would have 5 to 15 years of compounded savings accumulated at their retirement point.
Q.8: This is a hard decision; who can help me decide?
A: In the end, only you can make the decision, but there are many sources of assistance. This webpage hosts a "calculator" that will aid you by estimating the value of the two options in relation to your personal situation. You should also seek assistance from resources on your base such as financial counselors, your chain of command, and your personnel office.
Q.9: I'm a member of the Reserves, can I take the Career Status Bonus?
A: If you are a post-July 1986 member who is serving on active duty with 14 and 1/2 years of retirement creditable active service, you may also choose between High-3 and CSB/REDUX. The reduced retired pay Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) of REDUX will apply only to persons who elect the CSB.
Reserve members anticipating a Reserve retirement at age 60 (called a non-regular retirement) are not eligible to elect the CSB/REDUX option.
Q.10: I'm under High-36 (entered service before August 1986), can I take the bonus and switch to REDUX?
A: No. Only service members who entered the service on August 1, 1986, or later are authorized to choose their retirement system.
Q.11: Is the $30,000 bonus taxable?
A: Yes. If you receive the bonus in a single payment, by using a TSP, you may shelter up to the IRS maximum, which is $16,500 for the year 2010, from taxes by placing it into a TSP account. However, if you receive the bonus in installments, you may contribute money to the TSP each year, and, thus, increase the amount you are sheltering from taxes. Other rules and limits may apply to those in receipt of non-taxable pays in a Combat Zone or Qualified Hazardous Duty Area (QHDA). Consult your Service tax authorities and TSP information sources for more specifics.
Q.12: At what rate is the bonus taxed?
A: The bonus is taxed at your Federal, and, if applicable, state, tax rate. Upon receipt, the portion not placed into the TSP will be subject to the same tax consideration as any other bonus pay. Should this exceed your tax rate, you would have the excess returned in your Federal tax refund.
Q.13: Will I be able to put the bonus in my IRA?
A: Standard IRA rules are unaffected.

Last year, Google acquired a data visualization technology from Gapminder, a Swedish non-profit organization. Gapminder's technology, Trendalyzer, was used to visualize data from United Nations Common Database in an intuitive way. To quote from Gapminder's site, "this software unveils the beauty of statistical time series by converting boring numbers into enjoyable, animated and interactive graphics." For example, you could see the evolution of carbon dioxide emissions in a country over time or find correlations between CO2 emissions and the income per capita.
Google probably intends to use this technology to visualize custom data. One of the interfaces that will allow you create your own Trendalyzer visualizations is an iGoogle gadget which creates a Flash multi dimensional chart. The input is a file with the following structure: the first column is the item's name, the second is time, the third is for x-coordinates, the forth is for y-coordinates, and the fifth is the size of a ball. I tried to upload a file that has this structure, but the gadget didn't accept it. The gadget is probably a part of a new service that also hosts your data.
This is not the only data visualization gadget developed. Another gadget creates an interactive table that supports filtering and grouping, the simple table gadget lets you perform queries, while the heat map gadget "displays a map with color intensities that match given values". There are also gadgets for pie charts, column charts, bar charts, area charts, image lines, scatter charts, organizational charts, time series.
Hopefully we'll be able to actually use these gadgets and Google will create a service around visualizing data.
Update: The gadgets are a part of a new Google Spreadsheets feature.

Friday, October 11, 2013
Hundreds gathered Wednesday night at Georgetown High School's football field to celebrate their Christian Faith.
"Fields of Faith" is a nationwide event that started in 2004 and since then, has had more than 600,000 students join the movement.
This was Georgetown's second year taking part in the event and organizers say the number of attendees doubled.
The music had the crowd on their feet and dancing throughout the night. But volunteers say the main goal is for people to be brought together as a community by their faith.
"That's what all of this is. It's a safe place to be brought up and lifted up and supported as a whole," said Madison Martin, a senior at Georgetown High School.
Martin, who volunteered at the event, said she knows all too well about being down.
When she was just 9-years-old her father suffered brain damage from an open heart surgery. She says it not only altered his personality but their entire family.
"I was really young when it happened and because he was depressed, it pushed me away and I couldn't understand it," said Martin.
Martin says she too became depressed. She says she could not eat or sleep and that it affected her whole life.
That changed, she said, when a friend invited her to an event just like "Fields of Faith".
"The more I got involved the easier it became for me to cope with everything that was happening," said Martin.
That event Martin attended when she was younger was organized by Pastor Benji Wham, the same person behind Wednesday night's event.
Martin says without his help, she would have been lost.
"I would love to be able to help somebody like he helped me," she said.
Martin says whether it is through a big event like "Fields of Faith" or just reaching out to someone in the stands and letting them know you are there, you can touch someone's life.

Sleeping with your favorite brand in mind is taking marketing to a whole new level.
Ignited by an idea from Riviera Magazine, a Modern Luxury publication that wanted to tap into the skate and surf industry, 10 brands have collaborated with local interior designers in Laguna Beach to take over guest rooms at La Casa del Camino Hotel and create living spaces inspired by surf, skate and beach lifestyles.
Eighteen months ago, Riviera Magazine approached brands including Lost, Billabong men's and women's, L*Space, Roxy, Quiksilver, Rip Curl, Etnies, and Glaceau Smart and Vitamin Water to participate in the project. (Click on the slide show above to see images from the different brand rooms.)
Every brand paid a participation fee and was assigned a designer to redecorate a hotel room however they wanted. Most brands worked creatively with designers to get items sourced and donated by local craftsman and vendors.
The concept of taking a brand and collaborating with a hotel is not new. Created by snowboarder Frank Montoya in 2007, The Block Hotels in Tahoe and Big Bear were called the first snowboard branded hotels and featured brands like DVS and Zoo York.
(Right: the bed in the Etnies room.)
Riviera wanted to help the brands showcase themselves in a more "design forward and sophisticated manner," according to Valerie Robles, associate publisher of Riviera Magazine.
"The whole idea was that the space is livable and it doesn't feel commercial," said Billabong's Enich Harris who was sitting in the Billabong room that featured a wood block painting of a wave, surfboard lightbox, and direct view of Second Reef surf break.
Designs range from elaborate to minimalist. The Moroccan themed Lost room comes with bedding designed from a Lost surf trunk pattern. The logo is subtly embedded in Moroccan-style tiles along the walls, and the room comes with complimentary Lost Energy drinks in the closet (at least until they run out).
Joel Cooper, CEO of Lost International said he was the first to be approached about the project. He said folks from Riviera loved his own home in Laguna Beach and told him about the concept.
"A year and a half ago, life was very different economically and for business," he said.
(Right: the Lost room.)
Cooper was happy he committed to the project because he thought it was a great way to give back to the community, especially since he is from Laguna Beach.
"Laguna is such a unique town that just happens to be the home of the owners of Quiksilver, Lost, Volcom and a lot of people in the surf industry. It's a great way to make a stamp in our own backyard, as well as get unique publicity."
All the participants creatively incorporated their brand into the rooms. In the L*Space room, gold rings from L*Space bikinis were used to create lamps (right) and accent pieces, and there is a canvas painting of their model hung along the wall.
"We tried to go with the theme of subtle luxury, chic and beachy," said L*Space's PR Manager Heather Winters.
One of the rooms that stood at most was the Etnies room, suite 207. Completely eco-friendly - from the toilets (dual-flush, saving 30% potable water) to the fly ash (incinerator waste product) in the concrete skateboard pool-shaped sink - no green detail was left out.
The bed headboard was created from shoe sample fabric swatches. The bathroom sink was carved into a replica of the famous "Chicken's" skateboard pool in Huntington Beach. Skate tracks from skateboard wheels were painted across the ceiling. There was a mural of old and new skateboard wheels. There was a chair made of skate decks, and there were brand new skateboards hung on the wall for guests to use as an alternative means to getting around town.
"Anyone who bombs Third Street (a steep hill in Laguna Beach), gets a hundred bucks, " said Don Brown, Senior VP of Sole Technology, adding that his team took the project a step further by encouraging the hotel to install the eco-friendly toilets in every room.
Hotel rooms
The branded "Surf Suites" go for $269 on weekdays and $369 on weekends. Regular suites in the 38-room historic hotel start at $149 to $199. Rates will increase in the summertime about $100 per night.
Two percent of sales from every room goes to the charity of the brand's choice for the next year. Sole Tech is contributing to Global Green, L*Space to Amber Watch Foundation, Quiksilver to the Quiksilver Foundation, Rip Curl to Invisible Children, Billabong to Surfrider, and Lost to Beit t'shuvah. Riviera and Glaceau also have rooms and are donating proceeds to the Beckstrand Cancer Foundation and Action for Healthy Kids, respectively.
Amy Amaradio, Casa Del Camino Hotel Marketing Manager was beyond excited about the results of the project.
"We really think this will bring in more people," she said, adding that the collaboration opens the door for the hotel to work closely with brands in bringing VIPs to stay in their respective rooms. The hotel also gets to keep all designs and furniture.
Riviera Magazine will be showcasing the rooms in their upcoming publication, and plan to create an awards ceremony to recognize the top designers.
Beginning today, the rooms are available for hotel guests to sleep in.

The recent 5-4 Supreme Court vote on allowing same-sex marriage is by far not a mandate and not everyone is in agreement with this issue. In 2008, Obama told Rick Warren, "I believe that marriage is the union between man and woman. Now for me as a Christian...it is also a sacred union. God's in the mix." The liberal left didn't call him homophobic or a bigot as some like to do now. As the climate changed, so did Obama's views. Thus God must not be "in the mix anymore," but politics is.
The church is the center of the community where I was born, literally and figuratively. It is a cathedral built in the Gothic tradition seen in Europe.
As we send out checks to the 102 nonprofit organizations that participated in the Otto Bremer Foundation's March Millions for Southeastern Minnesota campaign, it reminded us again what committed and generous individuals there are across communities in this part of the state.
Residents who were incorrectly concerned that I do not support land buffers can rest easier tonight.
Spring in Pennsylvania has a softness and fragrance that is haunting. One day the sky was a silver blue, and the sun warm. Instead of taking public transportation, I decided to walk the four miles from Bryn Athyn where I was a junior in high school to my home in Willow Grove.
I am a farmer and I found State Rep. Greg Davids' letter to the editor in the May 4, 2015, Bluff Country Reader disgusting. His inflammatory language does the public a disservice. This is an issue affecting all citizens, not just farmers. Water quality is a constant issue for each of us every day.
With Minnesota's projected $2 billion surplus, now is the time for us to invest more in both health care and education. There is no good reason to create the false choice of trimming one to fund the other.
Greg Rendahl recently expressed his disappointment with my opposition to Gov. Dayton's idea requiring 50-foot buffer zones along rivers and streams (Bluff Country Reader letter April 20 edition). He thinks I'm catering to the interests of a few "greedy" farmers.
A variation of March Madness recently swept through Indiana in the hysteria over the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). In the clash between truth and fiction, truth is the overwhelming underdog. The media and national liberal groups promptly rained down a storm of distortion, all because Indiana desired what the Founding Fathers did: the freedom to live the tenets of their faith without discrimination.
As a farmer with a creek on my land, I was so disappointed by a recent statement by my representative, Greg Davids: "I say, 'I'm going to kill it personally. It ain't going to happen,'" when speaking of the proposed 50' buffer strip along rivers and creeks. This seems all too typical of today's partisan politics that view compromise as a dirty word.
They're back! Rick Frick and his merry band of getrich schemers. Two years ago, St. Charles wasn't having his Minnesota Proppant plan. Maybe they didn't buy the idea of a few guys and a shovel building the largest sand wash facility ever!
The frac sand debate in Houston County has mushroomed into a question of government accountability. It turns out that Planning and Zoning Administrator Bob Scanlon has retaliated against not only frac sand opponents, but also farmers.
Did you know that abortion facilities in Minnesota are unlicensed and uninspected? It's true. The Department of Health has no authority over abortion centers. Is it right that these places, which perform one of the most common surgical procedures in the state (some years abortion is the most common procedure), keep their doors closed to health inspectors? It raises the question: What do they have to hide?
Many are familiar with the infamous exchange of five dangerous, murderous Taliban leaders incarcerated in Gitmo Prison for Bowe Bergdahl, a solder who separated from his unit and spent the next five years with the Taliban.
