Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will make a summer move for Cardiff defender Steven Caulker.
Rodgers gave him his Premier League break during a season-long loan at Swansea two years ago.
Tottenham have first option on buying back Caulker, as part of the deal they struck to sell the England player to the Bluebirds for £9million last summer.
But while Tim Sherwood wants him to return, the current manager is almost certain to leave White Hart Lane at the end of this season, and chairman Daniel Levy has reservations about bringing back Caulker.
The 22-year-old is sure to leave Cardiff if they are relegated after impressing this season, despite his side's struggle to avoid relegation.
But even then, he will not be available on the cheap - especially as Tottenham would bank 50 per cent of any profit.

District Tap House is amazing. I had the burger- which was insane- and one of the beef fat fries- I mean that's just not fair--crispy and Parmesan cheese?? Yummmmm. Also- I could eat the salad every day and be happy- you can tell the chef is trained by how the salad was dressed. Also had a bite of the steak sandwich - rare and delish. And tasted some grapefruit beer brew that I loved. Really- we totally stumbled on it- I don't know anything in the area and I'm so glad we did-

Tried this place over the weekend when meeting out of town friends last minute. I work in midtown so have been to my fair share of lunch spots and burger joints. This was the best burger that I have ever had in midtown, hands down. The fries were a whole meal in and of themselves. Between the beer selection and seriously good food, I am planning many more visits. My friends were VERY impressed.

My co-workers and I stumbled upon District Tap House the other day by chance. We were crossing 38th street and saw this beautiful restaurant sitting there in the middle of the block. We walked in and were greeted by a tall gentlemen who introduced himself and welcomed us to have a seat. We sat in one of the plush round booths in the back and ordered a few starters and salads. The food was fabulous and I don't throw that word around lightly. The fried cheese balls and the flatbread melt in your mouth. One of my friends had the steak sandwich and kept making all these noises while he was eating it. He was still talking about it days later. I had a warm barley salad with chicken for my main course and was in heaven. Whoever they have cooking over there is not fooling around. In addition to the food, the staff was super friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is wonderful. Sitting there for lunch gave us a great break from our day and charged us up for the afternoon. We will absolutely be back. All the folks in my office can't stop talking about the place. I've heard happy hour is also really great. I'll see for myself this week. Also seems like the ideal spot to bring clients for meetings. Love love love District Tap House.

Kidnapping victim Michele Knight, one of three women freed from a decade of imprisonment may have suffered horrific injuries during her time in captivity.
Miss Knight, who disappeared in 2002, is reported to be experiencing hearing loss from the years of beatings to her head.
The 32-year-old also appeared to have facial bone damage, sources told the local Fox 8 TV station.
Prayer answered: Barbara Knight seen outside her home in Naples, Florida, on her way to Cleveland to be reunited with her long-lost daughter, Michelle
New sibling: Knight, pictured left getting into a car, was accompanied by Michelle's 10-year-old half-sister, Katie, right, whom the kidnapped young woman has never met
En route to Ohio: None of the Knight family spoke to reporters before they were driven off at speed in a white car with New York license plates
Barbara Knight left her home in Naples, Florida, yesterday to head to Cleveland to see her daughter.
Barbara, 50, never gave up hope and will now be able to introduce Michelle to the sister she has never met, 10 year old Katie, who was born after her half-sister disappeared.
Katie, who is the spitting image of her older sibling, was with her mother as they left for the airport this afternoon.
None of the family spoke to reporters before they were driven off at speed in a white car with New York license plates.
Barbara was 'calmly' looking forward to the reunion according to neighbors in Naples, where she lives with her second husband Tom Hudson and members of his family.
High-profile: The missing person cases of Amanda Berry, left, and Gina DeJesus, right, were well-known to people in Cleveland - but the disappearance of Michelle Knight drew little attention
'It's an emotional time for them,' said Sheldon Gofberg who lives across the street from the family's house in the southwest Florida town.
'They didn't get any sleep last night, Tom told me they were waiting to hear back from the FBI in Cleveland.'
Mr Gofberg said neighbours had 'no idea,' that Barbara was the mother of a missing girl and that she appeared to have her hands full looking after Katie and helping with Tom's two children, Julian, 16, and his sister Alex, 8.

Mr Hudson also looks after his frail 96-year-old, Boyd, in the three-bedroom home.
'They're a friendly family, Tom would do anything to help you, give you the shirt off his back,' Mr Gofberg said.
Despite the turmoil at the house this morning Tom kept a commitment with Mr Gofberg to take him to a Home Depot to buy a ladder.
'We were in the car driving and Tom said, "You know those three girls they found in the house in Cleveland? One of them was Barbara's daughter."
'I was astounded,' he said.
'I said, "She's got to be pretty emotional?" and he said, "Not really because we've been waiting to hear back from the FBI."'
Brothers: From left, Ariel, Onil and Pedro have all been arrested in connection with the abduction of Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michele Knight almost ten years ago
Packed bags sat in the hallway of the house this afternoon as Mrs Knight waited for confirmation that is was her daughter that was freed along with the two other captives and a young girl in Cleveland.
The family refused to talk to reporters and TV crews waiting outside, sending the teenage boy Julian, who was wearing an ankle monitoring bracelet, outside to ask them to leave.
There was speculation that the family had signed a deal to talk exclusively to NBC and that the TV network had chartered them a flight to Ohio for the reunion.
Mrs Knight had
previously said that she carried on the search for her daughter alone
for years because police gave up on the case.
While the stories of missing Cleveland girls Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry have remained high-profile cases over the last decade, little is known of third captive Michelle.
As yet, no picture has been published of Michelle, either from the time she went missing or since her discovery.
While family appeals for Gina and Amanda have been frequent and well-publicized over the past ten years, her case appears to have been long forgotten.
Now believed to be aged 30, Michelle was in her later teens or early twenties, when she was last seen on August 23, 2002, at her cousin's house near West 106th Street and Lorain Avenue, according to Cleveland's newspaper The Plain Dealer.
Mrs Knight said she would often put up fliers around Cleveland's West Side and even after moving away, returning to continue the search on her own.
Michelle Knight's grandmother, Deborah Knight, said the family, after speaking with police and social workers, had accepted that she likely left on her own free will.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight were found at this house in Cleveland, Ohio
They believed she was angry that her son had been taken into custody.
Michelle was never registered as missing on the Ohio Missing Persons website.
Mrs Knight told The Plain Dealer she believes she once saw her daughter walking with an older man at a shopping mall several years ago.
When the woman trailed behind her companion, he would grab her by the arm and pull her along, she said.
The disappearances of Amanda and Gina captured the attention of the entire city for the past decade, as their relatives have continually held vigils and kept the story alive in the local press.
After 10 years being held against their will, the women were finally freed after neighbor Charles Ramsey, heard screaming from the house.
Mr Ramsey, told WEWS-TV he saw Amanda, who he didn't recognize, at a door that would open only enough to fit a hand through screaming "Help me get out! I've been in here a long time.'
'We had to kick open the bottom,' he said. 'Lucky on that door it was aluminum. It was cheap. She climbed out with her daughter.

When Amanda fled the home and ran across the street to call police, she was holding the hand of a young girl.
'Help me I'm Amanda Berry...I've been
kidnapped and I've been missing for ten years and I'm here. I'm free
now,' Berry is heard saying in the call to police that has been publicly

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2005 A U.S. Marine assigned to 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), was killed in action Aug. 3 by small-arms fire during combat operations in Ramadi, Iraq, about 60 miles west of Baghdad, U.S. military officials at Camp Fallujah reported today.
The Marine's name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Elsewhere in Iraq, multinational forces from Task Force Freedom detained 28 suspected terrorists Aug. 3 and today. The task force also responded to an attack against Iraqi police in northern Iraq, killing the attackers, according to military officials in Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, about 240 miles north of Baghdad.
Soldiers from 1st Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, from Fort Carson, Colo., today detained 15 suspected terrorists during a cordon-and-search operation northwest of Tal Afar, which is near the Syrian border. On Aug. 3, soldiers from the regiment killed an unreported number of terrorists who were attacking Iraqi police in Tal Afar. No American soldiers were injured during the attack, officials noted.
Also on Aug. 3, soldiers from 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, detained four suspected terrorists after an improvised explosive device attack on their patrol in eastern Mosul.
Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, detained four suspected terrorists during two separate operations in Rawah and Mosul. Soldiers from 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, detained three more suspected terrorists at a checkpoint near Rawah. Soldiers from 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, detained two suspected terrorists while patrolling near the Syrian border.
In other news, Iraqi army soldiers established "flash" traffic control points at several different locations Aug. 3 to identify anti-Iraq forces, U.S. officials said. Soldiers with the 3rd Iraqi Army Division manned at least four different temporary checkpoints along a major route in the area, detaining 11 suspected insurgents. The detainees were transported to the Iraqi army's 3rd Division headquarters.

Come along and roar on the Tigers in vital cup tie
Posted: November 14, 2012|
FANS of Gloucester City are being urged to roar on the Tigers from the famous T-end in the FA Cup tonight.
Because the Blue Square Bet North club can only afford stewarding for two stands at Cheltenham Town's ground, fans can't usually stand at the Prestbury Road end.
But for tonight's re-arranged first round clash with Leyton Orient, that standing end terrace of Whaddon Road ground will be open.
Before the club was flooded out of Meadow Park in 2007, standing behind the goal at the T-end offered fans the chance to make plenty of noise close to the pitch. An FA Cup tie last came to Meadow Park in 1989 with a second round replay against Cardiff City.
Supporters club chairman Lee Mills hopes the promise of this position will encourage city folk to get out and support their team.
"It's been many years since Gloucester City have had a cup match of this profile and while we were all disappointed that the original tie was postponed, evening games always have a special atmosphere especially when our choir, The T-end, is in full voice," he said.
"If you're proud to be from Gloucester then I would urge you to support these lads playing for the name of Gloucester in this country's premier club cup competition.
"Despite being exiled from the city, the football club are surviving and thriving and it would be fantastic to add to what is already a dedicated support."
The club has received good luck messages from The Wanted star Nathan Sykes, and former Forest Green Rovers striker and city fan Stuart Fleetwood in the run up to the tie which was postponed due to rain.
Official club statistician Tim Clark is hoping to welcome Bryan Barnfield as guest of honour at the game – he is 81 and one of three survivors of the only other occasion Gloucester City played Leyton Orient, in a 4-1 friendly defeat at Longlevens on January 26, 1953.
He played 120 games for Gloucester City between 1951 and 1955. In the 1952/53 season the club entertained Swindon Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Torquay United, Brentford, Watford and East Fife. The Orient match was played in front of 1,650 spectators, and Tim's hoping tonight's tie will crack the 1,000 mark.
"It is a mighty frustration that we cannot really maximise the potential in Gloucester whilst playing away from Gloucester," he said. "This fixture as well as the league game against Chester on Sunday are vital pay days in the circumstances we find ourselves in and therefore the more people we can encourage to come and watch us the better." Admission is £15, £6 for concessions and free for under 11s.

How America Won The Tablet Wars
Here is a test for investors. Where is most of the value added in a computer? If you answered the hardware or assembly, you're wrong. Most of it comes in the software and the marketing. Controlling the platform is the key to long-term financial success.
The move from the PC era with a TV for output, a keyboard and mouse for input, and spinning disks for storage, to the tablet era with a TV for input and output, spinning disks replaced by memory chips and wireless networking, gave Asia a huge opportunity to grab the top of the stack. Asian companies made the parts and assembled the devices. All they needed to do was take control over what they had.
The big technology story of 2012 is how America's computer companies, at some risk to their margins, aren't letting them.
The story is centered on Apple (AAPL), whose new CEO, Tim Cook, failed with his "new iPad" launch in March. It wasn't very different from what Samsung could do with Google (GOOG)software. It even used a lot of Samsung parts, chips and screens.
Cook did two things to bring the value back:
1. He found a new source for the bright "Retina" screen, easily visible on a clear sunny day, through a combination of Japan's Sharp and Korea's LG, as 9to5google.com reported.
2. Apple engineers also perfected a new assembly technique, borrowed from aerospace, enabling flat screens to be crisply attached to a flat bank of chips, resulting in a device that's lighter and thinner than anything that came before.
Cook took the hit on two quarters' earnings, investing more and selling less, to get ahead of Samsung's competition.
Sure, Samsung made a fortune this last quarter, as Business Insider reports. Amazon (AMZN)also got 22% of the U.S. tablet market with its Kindle Fire, as PaidContent reported, a device tied even closer than the iPad was to a proprietary app store.
Both of these moves, by the way, were good for Google, whose Android operating system drives both companies' devices.
The tablet transition, of course, is leaving Microsoft (MSFT) fighting for relevance. It is placing all its chips on a new Windows interface, sourced to both Asian tablet makers and American PC makers, with a bunch of proprietary services — XBox, SkyDrive, Skype — that could let it make more money off a lower market share than anyone now imagines it can.
So while Microsoft, Amazon, Google and even Apple all fell hard after their recent earnings reports, it's a correction, not a bear market. We're dominating Asia in this technology transition where it counts, taking a short-term hit to profits in exchange for dominance of software, services, and branding of computing for years to come.
What the Asian companies must now do, to win even their home markets, is invest heavily in their own operating systems, their own app stores, their own brands and channels. They have to do what American companies did over the course of a whole decade, and it may now take years to wean even their own consumers from the American brands.
It may be the most important technology story of 2012, and no one has written it. Until now.

The paper compared this to the 80 degrees and bright sunshine in Ft Myers yesterday.
Most of those reading this page under the glorious sun here are from those places covered by snow and suffering from bone-chilling cold. They come here to escape the misery. Now do you understand why I welcome global warming? I am tired of the "snow birds" clogging the highways and byways and making it hard to get a dinner reservation. Take the sun to them and let them stay in the comfort of their northern home.

Ranisha Cole: St. Louis Homicide No. 138; One of Nine Teens Shot Outside Pulse Nightclub
Categories: The Big Bloody (Homicides)
|Ranisha Cole
According to reports, hundreds of teenagers began arriving outside Club Pulse, 8370 N. Broadway, around 8 p.m. on December 25 after hearing of a party there via Facebook. But the 18-and-over venue wasn't open to the public that night and turned the kids away. Some left. Other stayed on the parking lot.
St. Louis police report that around 10:20 p.m. two vehicles pulled into the parking lot and occupants inside the cars opened fire.
In all, nine teenagers would be shot. Ranisha Cole, 17, was shot in the chest and abdomen and died that night at a hospital. Another victim, a 16-year-old male, was shot in the neck and is believed to be paralyzed. Seven other teenagers -- a 14-year-old, three fifteen-year-olds, two sixteen-year-olds and an 18-year-old -- were treated and released with gunshot wounds to the legs, arms and hands.
The suspect vehicles were described as a red car with tinted windows and a silver four-door sedan. An investigation is ongoing.
Question: What the hell are 14-year-old and 15-year-old kids doing hanging out in front of a nightclub?

Because not all school lunches are created equal, you may be a parent who packs a bento box or brown bag for your child on a daily basis – and if your son or daughter is sporting metal braces or clear braces, that can make the lunch rush slightly more challenging.
Considerations for Your Braces-Wearing Teen's Lunch
It's easy to toss prepackaged snacks into a lunchbox, but they're not the food that's going to properly fuel your child and keep him going for the afternoon. They're also not friendly to a teen who wears braces and has to worry about what might be stuck in their brackets for the rest of the afternoon.
There are also post-tightening days to consider, when your child's mouth will be slightly sore, making eating while wearing braces more difficult. In cases of soreness or sensitivity, soft foods should do the trick. Healthy and tender foods include soup, pasta, pudding, or fruits like a banana, avocado, or mango. Put a hold on sandwiches, crackers, chips, or celery and carrot sticks.
Foodstuffs for Braces-Wearers to Avoid
The American Dental Association recommends that anyone who wears braces – whether metal braces or invisible aligners – should avoid excessive snacking and foods that could damage the braces such as hard candy, gum, popcorn, and nuts. Yet another reason it's important to pack a filling lunch – it'll help curb that after-school candy bar noshing.
Keep in mind that maintaining a healthy smile while wearing braces takes extra effort beyond normal brushing and flossing. It's your child's responsibility to maintain their smile, but you can do your part by keeping the chewy, gooey, sticky foods out of their lunchbox and away from your kid's braces.
It's important to monitor and minimize your pre-teen or teen's sugar intake too, particularly since teens are big fans of soda. Braces-wearers are not immune to cavities. In fact, they're even more susceptible because the teeth under the brackets and wires require extra care and diligence to keep them clean.
Best Foods to Pack in Your Teen's Lunch
So what foods should you pack in your braces-wearing teen's lunch? Chicken, turkey, beef, and eggs are great for teeth since they contain phosphorous and calcium which enhances the tooth enamel and, in lunch-friendly forms, it can be relatively easy for a braces-wearer to eat these foods.
Sugar-free yogurt works well to neutralize acids in the mouth before they can cause major damage, and there should be no trouble for your child when spooning up this tasty side.
As for beverages, milk and water are the best choices. Juice and soda just aren't helpful, especially for someone who wears braces. And encourage your child to avoid chewing on ice which could damage their braces.
Plan for Healthy Lunches and Healthy Teeth
School lunches take a little planning when your teen has braces, but thinking ahead is a plus because it also means you'll be able to provide your child with healthier options as well as foods that aren't harmful to their orthodontia or teeth. Schedule your initial consultation with Baum Orthodontics in Los Angeles today to learn more about the braces options available for your child's orthodontia needs, and for tips about the best foods to eat and avoid while wearing braces.

Goodbye Hey Jude
By Katie | Published: November 29, 2009
Well, I'm sorry to say that this is a sad post tonight. Our 13 year-old chocolate lab, Hey Jude, died on her way back home from one last hike to the river this morning. The wine garden and my morning hikes will be a little lonely without her now. If anyone feels like leaving a […]

The Expo is a program conducted by the Oklahoma Youth Expo (OYE), an Oklahoma-‐based 501c(3) nonprofit in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Food and Forestry (ODAFF), Oklahoma State University, the Sirloin Club, the Southwest American Livestock Foundation, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, and the State Fair of Oklahoma. Its mission is to provide a venue and program to display the finest quality market and breeding livestock in the country that facilitates agricultural production projects, and to fund higher education opportunities for hundreds of youth pursuing studies in agriculture. OYE's success is synonymous with and driven by the success of Oklahoma's rural prosperity, thriving agriculture economy, and education of future agriculture leaders.
The Oklahoma Youth Expo is also an agricultural scholarship and leadership-‐training program for Oklahoma youth. The OYE mission is to serve as an extension of the classroom in a hands-‐on, real-‐ world environment through the junior livestock program in Oklahoma. The OYE produces and presents the world's largest junior livestock show each spring. For nearly a century, 4-‐H and FFA youth programs travel by the thousands to exhibit some of the finest livestock in the country, at what is the equivalent of the State Championships, as part of the Oklahoma Junior Livestock Program. The Oklahoma Youth Expo is coined as "The World's Largest Junior Livestock Show" and serves as a positive influence in the lives of approximately 7,000 Oklahoma youth. The OYE holds its annual event at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City. The 10-‐day expo generates an economic impact of $24.5 million to the Oklahoma City area each year and provides hundreds of youth with scholarships to continue their education at the collegiate level.
Since 2002, OYE has provided $2.1 million in scholarships to more than 1,000 Oklahoma students. The scholarship program supports Oklahoma leaders' stated goal to produce more college graduates as part of building a stronger economy. Moreover, the scholarship program strives to address the need for more college graduates to work in the agriculture industry, one of the key economic drivers of Oklahoma's economy.
Additionally, the OYE have several ancillary programs that provide leadership and learning for youth. One such program is the Oklahoma Agriculture Leadership Encounter or OALE. OALE is an elite leadership opportunity for ten outstanding agriculture students at Oklahoma State University. In this program, students visit agriculture entities in every district of the state, tour the State Capital, visit Washington D.C., and take an international tour to see the agriculture industry in other countries. OYE raises private dollars to fund this trip, which allows students to further their understanding of agriculture worldwide and often enhances innovation in their operations in Oklahoma.
FY 2012 Audit Letter to the Board
The OYE is open to all students from across the state enrolled in a 4-‐H or FFA. The participation and economic impact of the local livestock shows touch all 77 counties making a substantial positive impact on the fabric of rural communities.
The purpose of the show is to promote hands-‐on agricultural learning, develop future leaders, and provide scholarships to Oklahoma youth looking to attend Oklahoma colleges and universities. As such, it is a non-‐profit event and depends upon private and public funding to fulfill its mission with a majority of its funding derived from contributions from private donors, corporate sponsorships and participant fees.
The OYE also receives funding from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry (OADFF). Many states have events similar to OYE, which are supported financially through a combination of state funds and state employees. In Oklahoma, the Department of Agriculture contracts with OYE to produce the expo. In 2001, the Oklahoma Legislature charged the ODAFF (2 O.S. § 5-‐1.1) "to assist, promote, or provide services in agribusiness-‐related areas, rural community development, and other public service entities as funds are made available." The Department of Agriculture is vested with the mission of helping promote agri-‐business and agriculture education in the state. As a rural community development project, the Department of Agriculture can both assist and promote OYE as authorized by the legislature which appropriates funds. The OYE utilizes the public dollars with private contributions and sponsorships to conduct the program, events and scholarships. Without OYE, the state would lose the benefit of additional private resources to assist with operating the show.
In 2012, the ODAFF provided a one-‐time commitment of $2 million to strengthen OYE and its scholarship program. Annual funding to OYE from the Department of Agriculture has fluctuated each year from $55,000 to $1.2 million.
The OYE is applying the majority of the 2012 funds from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture to meet accrued scholarship commitments to Oklahoma students. The remaining portion of the funds will be used for ongoing operations related to the production and presentation of the world's largest youth livestock show.
Scholarships Provided by Year
Please note, OYE began collecting and reporting scholarship data in 2004. In 2002 and 2003, the OYE was focused on the production and operation of the show during a two-year startup phase.

Over the course of the 10-day expo, an estimated crowd of 50,000 occupies Oklahoma City hotels, dines at local restaurants, and shops. According to the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau, OYE has a more than $24.5 million dollar impact annually on the Oklahoma City area. In addition to the economic impact in Oklahoma City, the show has a much larger impact on the entire livestock industry and rural communities in the state.
The Oklahoma Youth Expo is a 501c(3) that operates under the direction of a board of directors comprised of distinguished leaders in education, state government, the private sector, and agriculture.
The OYE Board of Directors and executive leadership value openness and integrity in our operations in the fulfillment of our mission to provide higher education to Oklahoma youth.
The OYE Board meets as necessary to review all finances and operational activities.
The OYE maintains a staff of four full-time employees and one part-time employee at its office location in Oklahoma City.
OYE complies with all state and federal laws, and submits Form 990 in accordance with the IRS annually.
It would not be possible to operate a show of this magnitude without the support of more than 100 volunteers who donate their time to assist with the operation of the show.
The OYE has recently purchased a building rather than continue to spend resources on a lease. Private dollars are being used to purchase the building and pay for the relocation. This is just part of the many initiatives the OYE has planned to streamline operating expenses and expand fundraising opportunities.

For nearly a century, the youth of the state of Oklahoma have come to Oklahoma City to compete with the best livestock their generation has to offer. In the 1920's and the 1930's the shows formal title was "The Oklahoma City Fat Stock Show." For nearly 60 years the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and the dedicated volunteer base of the Sirloin Club of Oklahoma managed the show.

Check out the comment thread on this Ed-Op piece in my University's paper about Ron Paul. I'll save my opinion of Paul's politics for another time. I was just floored by the flash mob of Paul supporters running up 300+ comments on a minor opinion piece in a small University paper. Whatever you may think of Paul himself or his policies, his supporters are hard-core.
I am both awed and a little freaked out by these people. On the one hand, it is good to see that in this cynical and apathetic age, there are still a lot of people who are very passionate about their politics. On the other hand, these comments are all basically saying the same thing, as if they were lifted from some Ron Paul talking points memo. Many are also pretty mean and not particularly nuanced. Here is a little taste:
Are you a complete socialist or only a little b it [sic] socialist?
I gather from this editorial that you're in favor of taking my
hard-earned money in taxation and distribute it to others who didn't
work for it. Get out of college and into the real world, Pointdexter,
and you'll change that tune real quick.
Wow… you have no idea what you are talking about. Paul is about
freedom, limited federal government and letting the states local
governments decide what best for that state. Get your facts straight
before reporting. People need to take some personal responsibility. If
New Orleans would have had keep their own money rather than paying tax
to the feds… then they would have been able to protect themselves.
You get the drift. And, these were just from the first ten or so comments.
Some of these commentors remind me of those Chick Tracts where the message is always the same, accept their "truth" or you are a "sinner" and will go to hell. In this case, you are branded a "socialist" and are exiled from further political discourse because, of course, a "socialist" cannot hold a rational point of view. It is an easy way to shutdown conversation without having to defend your position.
With any overly enthusiastic group trying to push a particlar agenda, the good ideas can be drowned out by the cacophony of the more extreme members. I see a bit of that happening with Ron Paul supporters. I also think many Paul supporters have a real blindspot for how some of Paul's positions could be considered very unpalatable to many perfectly rational people.
Beyond all that, I just fail to see how acting like a jackass in a comment thread on a opposition opinion piece is going to win over many converts to your cause.

Unveiled> BIG News From Hell′s Kitchen
Monday, February 7, 2011
Branden Klayko.
Surf-and-turf sure is delicious! We've been eagerly awaiting news from Bjarke Ingels' New York debut on 57th Street in Hell's Kitchen, and today, the Durst Organization, project developer, has released new details of New York's mountain-to-be. New York magazine got the exclusive, this weekend revealing a new rendering of the 450-foot-tall apartment tower poised to redefine the architecture of the stodgy box.
Last month, Ingels was guarded in discussing his ambitious plans for New York, but he wasn't kidding when he told AN of his intention to wed the traditional European courtyard block with an American skyscraper.
And appropriate to Ingels' emerging philosophy of "bigamy," exemplified by the classic American surf-and-turf, the new tower simultaneously resembles a snow-capped mountain peak and a white-sailed vessel docked on Manhattan's west side. 57th Street's form responds to disparate site conditions with requisite thought and artistry of any BIG project.
Ingels told NY magazine that the building's form pushes for a "blatant" connection to the Hudson River greenway while responding to multiple challenges on a site clinging to its industrial past, including adjacency to an elevated highway and a parking garage for garbage trucks. The tower slopes and twists to avoid blocking views while also reducing traffic noise.
Just as Ingels promised, the tower features a lush, landscaped courtyard sliced into the middle of the rising mountainside, forming a sort of soft, green oasis along the building's sharp ascent. Balconies have also been pierced into the facade in a similar manner.
The design still faces a series of regulatory hurdles in coming months, beginning with a community board meeting this Wednesday. We'll be watching Ingels closely, so stay tuned for a mountain of updates!

They can't be serious, what a piece of crap.
adam… you are way too kind. This is everything wrong with architecture today. Oh, the celebration of the embarrassing drivel is worse.

Sartell Paper Fire
The landscape in a small central Minnesota town is about to change.
The new owners of the former Verso Paper mill have obtained their first permit to begin demolishing the mill and related buildings that have been shut down since May 2012 when an explosion and fire killed a man and caused an estimated $50 million in damage.
Verso said the cost of repairs was prohibitive, especially considering dwindling demand for the coated magazine paper the mill had produced.
AIM Development purchased the plant last January with plans to disassemble it.
The Sartell City Council issued Thursday an interim use permit to demolish the mill, work that is expected to take 15 months to complete. The company still needs to get a demolition permit.
AIM Development will demolish more than 530,000 square feet of buildings that straddle the Mississippi River in Sartell, a community near St. Cloud. The only buildings that will remain are the office building, hydroelectric operations and a warehouse.
The St. Cloud Times reported the company plans to recycle 95 percent of the materials. Interior work has already started at the site, according to the company. Asbestos is being removed and other work has occurred inside the buildings.
The Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Division cited Verso Paper with two serious violations following the fatal explosion and fire.

SERGIO AGUERO WILL travel to Spain for Manchester City's Champions League meeting with Real Madrid, Roberto Mancini has confirmed.
The Argentine has been sidelined with a knee injury since the Premier League champions' opening-day victory over Southampton, and was not risked for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Stoke.
Despite concerns still remaining over the forward's fitness, City manager Mancini is set to gamble on the 24-year-old making a full recovery in time for Tuesday's clash at the Bernabeu.
"I think he can have a chance," Mancini said. "Sergio will travel with us. "He worked with the team in the last three days before the Stoke game. We didn't want to take any risks with him — but maybe he can be ready for Madrid.
"Will he start? I don't know."
Another player who has overcome a troubled start to the campaign is Gareth Barry, who returned to first-team action as a substitute at the Britannia Stadium. Barry has struggled to recover from surgery following a lower abdomen tear, and Mancini has welcomed the England midfielder's return.
"I'm happy for Gareth after three months to play again," Mancini said. "It's important for us because he's an important player and he had 30 minutes and did well."

Gold coin of Diodotus c. 245 BC
Diodotus I Soter (Greek: Διόδοτος Α' ὁ Σωτήρ) (c. 285 BC – c. 239 BC) was Seleucid satrap of Bactria, rebelled against Seleucid rule soon after the death of Antiochus II in c. 255 or 246 BC, and wrested independence for his territory. He died in 239 BC.
This event is recorded by Trogus, Prol. 41; Justin xli. 4, 5, where he is called Theodotus; Strabo xi. 515). The name apparently is related to the title Soter he uses for himself. His power seems to have extended over the neighbouring provinces. Diodotus was a contemporary, a neighbour, and probably an ally of Andragoras, the satrap of Parthia, who at about the same time also proclaimed independence from the Seleucid Empire.

Shamus Cooke: The banking oligarchy is so intertwined with the political and economic establishment that real regulatory change cannot happen until the system itself is transformed from below, by a powerful social movement.

Why Obama Should Break Up Big Banks
Obama's Regulatory Brain
Lincoln to the Rescue
Robert Reich: Blanche Lincoln wants to force the banks to put their derivatives into separate entities that aren't subsidized by you and me. This is just common sense. Her move would also end the big banks' monopoly over derivatives, thereby reducing their risk to the financial system. It would also cut dramatically into the big banks' profits.
Greenspan, Summers, and Why the Economy Is So Out of Whack
Robert Reich: If any three people are most responsible for the failure of financial regulation, they are Greenspan, Larry Summers, and my former colleague, Bob Rubin. In 1999 they advised Congress to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act, which since 1933 had separated commercial from investment banking. By 1999, Wall Street was salivating over such a repeal because it wanted to create financial supermarkets that could use commercial deposits to place bets in the financial casino. That would yield the Street trillions.
Obama Finally Gets Tough on Wall Street
Robert Reich: But suddenly the winds are blowing in a different direction over the Potomac. The 2010 midterms are getting closer, and the Dems are scared. Their polls are plummeting. The upsurge in mad-as-hell populism requires that Democrats become indignant on behalf of Americans, and indignation is meaningless without a target. They can't target big government because Republicans do that one better, especially when they're out of power. So what's the alternative? Wall Street.

As the White House unveils its long-awaited proposals to prevent another Wall Street meltdown in the future, keep a lookout for three essentials.

The Gender Studies minor allows students to explore issues of gender in a larger, more comprehensive context. By allowing students to take courses from a variety of disciplines, students are able to see the relationship among seemingly disparate areas of knowledge. The minor consists of 21 credits, approved by a committee, and taken over the student's tenure at Millikin University. These courses can be drawn from all schools, divisions and departments of the University.
The following courses are some of the options acceptable for inclusion into this minor:
Communication 332, Gendered Communication
English 220, Literary Topics: Major Women Writers
History 250/350, Women in Power
Political Science 335, Gender and Law
Sociology 351, The Family
Theatre 334, Seminar: Feminist Dramatic Literature
In addition, several courses offered through the JMS honors program have been accepted for the minor and allow selected non-JMS students to take these courses:
Interdisciplinary 186, Social Science Honors Seminars: Communication About Sexuality, Partnership, or Women in the Workplace
Finally, specific departments may offer special courses examining these issues, either under topic courses, such as Political Science 360, Topics in Political Science: Women and Politics, or by increasing gender-related material in existing courses. A committee has been constituted to evaluate courses proposed for inclusion in the minor.
These courses will count toward the Gender Studies Minor under the following conditions:
1) they are not being used to fulfill a student's major
2) they are not being used to fulfill the University's IN requirement or any other sequential requirement.
In other words, these courses are not eligible for double dipping.
Professors: Dr. Linda Collinsworth & Dr. Purna Banergee

Possible other Anchor Bay titles coming to Blu-ray???
since shout factory got Day of the dead i wonder if they will go for
DEMONS/DEMONS 2 double feature as well as Tenebre,Phenomena and
DAWN OF THE DEAD ultimate edition???
If Shout! releases Dawn of the Dead on Blu-Ray that will be a same day purchase for me for sure.
Even if they did announce those, I'm sure they'd find some way to screw 'em up.
Reportedly AB lost Dawn, Tenebre and Phenomena. Arrow has also reportedly lost Dawn and Martin. I've held off on the AB Dawn Blu-ray. Hard to decide if I should go for the Arrow releases now.
The rights owners on Dawn were working on a 3D version so maybe they'll be pushing for that now? AB may have walked away from Dawn purely based on that.
For what it's worth, Anchor Bay no longer lists Day of the Dead, but still lists the others as being among the horror films in it's catalog that are still available.
P.S. Not sure why the Silent Night, Deadly Night 1 & 2 Combo didn't display on this list, but it was listed elsewhere on the website.
If I may throw my hat in the ring, I have high hopes Anchor Bay picks up Scanners (and maybe The Brood) and that they released a 35th Anniversary Edition of Halloween. I don't know if we'll see Phantasm from them next year but seeing that same year Scream releases the CE of II, Anchor Bay will wanna cash in on that (that's why I think we'll probably see Scanners next year from them for the same reason). I also want them to release more Troma and Fox titles.
The Arrow release of Dawn has some nice extras but if you are after picture quality (and who isn't) go with the Anchor Bay Blu-ray. It has been under $10 for some time now.
Rumors are that Criterion has them both as they're always looking for more Cronenberg. Criterion has also publicly expressed on Facebook an interest in releasing Martin.
I'd really like Synapse to release NotLD and Dawn. It may take awhile but I know they'd get them dead right. I bet they've tried to get both but to no avail. We'll see how Scream handles Day.
I'll slightly admit, Anchor Bay ain't what it used to be. But look at what they released this year; Battle Royale 1 and 2, Mother's Day (1980), Halloween 4 and 5, The Entity, they even re-releasing the Silent Night, Deadly Night 1 and 2 Double Feature DVD.
In fact, I think their classic title releases (including sub-licensing deals with Fox and Troma this year) have increased from last year.
Scanners seems to be appropriate for Anchor Bay since they have another Avco title Phantasm and both Phantasm and Scanners once belonged to MGM and brought by their director and the producer respectively. If Phantasm was brought by Anchor Bay from Don then the odds of Anchor Bay buying Scanners (and maybe The Brood) from the producer is 50/50.
Now yes, their are other possibilities like Code Red and Synapse since Code Red has Weekend Murders and Synapse has Vampire Circus (2 titles once belonged by MGM) but I'll agree with you that the other possibility will be Criterion but I doubt it since that title doesn't seem up Criterion's alley. Right now, my money's on Anchor Bay (and I think next year since it looks likely and even more so since Scream Factory will release the 2 sequels).
The days of Anchor Bay being a studio that actually gave a shit are long over. Now they care more for releasing shitty movies like Snowmageddon and Vamps.
They should really just change the company to Starz, because that's what it is. Anchor Bay is pretty much long dead now.

Editorial: Keep prom season joyful, not tragic
Curls will be exact, colors just the right hue, shoes shined and ties adjusted without a blackened collar.
Prom brings the pomp that is teenage fun and frolic. Around the Tri-County area, safe to say, we've entered prom season.
Saturday will be Kerr-Vance Academy and the Vance County Early College High School. In two weeks it will be Northern Vance and Western Vance, and three weeks after that it's Southern. Others are mixed in.
Oh, the joy.
And honestly, the pensive nerves and tension-filled waits. Not to see if she'll kiss at the end of the date — that's the extra.
We're talking parents at home. And not necessarily due to the actions of their children.
It is what else is out there, particularly when it comes to our roads and safe driving, that worries. The law of averages is climbing against teen drivers. Before cellphones, we worried about them being on the roads and possibly they or someone else they encounter having had alcohol to drink.
That possibility is still there.
But now, the scope has widened. Texting is forbidden while driving. But so, too, was drinking alcohol. And being careless.
Voice of reason or just being a wet blanket? We're never wanting to rain on anyone's parade, or the most joyous high school events.
But we also don't want our staff writing stories between now and graduation about lives lost, horrific debilitating crashes, or anything else that dampens this festive time of the year.
All we offer is for our youngsters to be responsible, to be smart like we know they are, and to take care of themselves and those around them. Turning a head to someone else's bad choice isn't the answer; speak up and respectfully encourage that which we all know is right. Stay away from wrong.
Parents have the most responsibility — it all starts at home. But we're also behind the respective public and private schools getting the encouraging word out to students. And it doesn't have to be tied to prom — good messages are not bound by any season.
So wipe down the pollen on the chariot, make sure of the little things for date night and have an awesome time. We're looking forward to everyone living to tell about it.

Students & Parents
Dear ECU Alumni,
We hope that March finds you well. As you'll read, the Office of International Affairs is keeping busy with bringing the world to school classrooms in the Greenville area, and working to bring more of the world (in the form of new international students) to Greenville. We see both activities as critical to the mission of our office. One new initiative, that some of you in China may already have witnessed, has been the thirty-second advertisement for ECU that aired on cable television in the Shanghai region at the end of last month. That ad was created and narrated in Chinese here at ECU and should be available for your viewing on the
OIA website
. We are also pleased to report that the ECU Language Academy is now up and running, offering intensive English instruction to people whose native language is not English.
Do enjoy the newsletter!
James Gehlhar, PhD
Associate Vice Chancellor for International Affairs
International Student Recruitment
This spring Monika Wojciechowski, assistant director for international admissions, will be traveling with the Council of International Schools on the 2011 Middle East Tour to Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Manama, Bahrain; Muscat, Oman; Amman, Jordan; and Beirut, Lebanon. During this recruitment tour, she will meet with counselors, and potential students and their parents from some of the best international high schools in the region. Additionally, she will attend the EducationUSA Triennial Conference 2011 in Doha, Qatar where she will consult with EducationUSA Advisers and U.S. higher educational representatives and have the opportunity to increase East Carolina University's visibility abroad.
Dr. Jim Gehlhar and Ms. Wojciechowski are also on a UNC-wide committee looking into how we might, as a system, be more effective in recruiting new students from overseas.
World Through Our Eyes
World Through Our Eyes
program began at UNC-Chapel Hill and was started at ECU in spring 2010. This new and exciting community outreach program pairs ECU's international students and returning exchange students with K-12 (kindergarten – grade 12) classrooms in Pitt County to give creative, interactive presentations on their home or host countries. Our students are screened and trained in giving presentations appropriate for the wide range of ages, and teachers specifically request presentations by country, region or topic. Students tailor each of their presentations to the needs of the individual classrooms, focusing on culture, families, geography, music, dance, and holidays, to name just a few. This program allows students to explore countries and cultures that may have been previously unknown to them and helps them to learn, think, and act from a more international perspective—skills that are imperative in an ever-globalizing world. This program will hopefully encourage students to travel and study abroad when they reach the university level as well.
The program expanded during fall 2010 to teach more than 1,000 K-12 students in the Greenville area, and our 14 participating students gave a total of 78 presentations. This semester we had even more student interest and have hired 18 international and returning exchange students to participate in the program.
