Swiss Scientists Generate 5.5 Trillion Degree Heat
By editor
Originally published on Tue August 14, 2012 3:04 pm
In light of this summer's record high temperatures, we find perspective on really hot temperatures. In an experiment, scientists at Europe's CERN laboratory claim to have achieved the highest temperature ever produced by humans — about 5.5 trillion degrees. Audie Cornish and Melissa Block have more.

Today, Tory Burch.05:45 "Get up and flip through WWD and the New York Times, put on a T-shirt and shorts and wake up my 11-year-old twins, Nick and Henry, to go for a run in the park.

I love starting the day with them.07:00 Wake up my youngest son, Sawyer, and start the morning trying to get my three boys showered, fed and out the door for school.08:15 After showering, I get dressed and drop the boys off at school. I answer emails that have come in from Europe and Asia overnight while stuck in traffic heading across town.09:30 Arrive at Jazz at Lincoln Center to go see my friend Gayle King.

I am going with a few members of our design team and one of my step-daughters on an inspiration trip.11:30 Meet with our vice president of sales for Europe, Elisa, while she is in town to see the Holiday 2009 collection.

Tap Out is all about giving - giving up and giving out, that is. Robert Axel, bigger than ever before, wrestles full on with the ripped blond Gavin Waters, until Gavin taps out and becomes Robert's eager, nasty bottom. A newly invigorated Gavin slobbers all over Robert's cock, taking it deep in his mouth while stroking his own. Then Gavin finally just gives up his ass, too and lets Robert tap that as well. In the end, Robert shows he knows how to take complete control and Gavin learns that for full satisfaction, it's better to give-and then keep right on giving.

I received a few questions about the Minnesota Wild through Twitter, Facebook and email. I will answer those
questions in this article.
If you have a question about the Wild, submit it on Twitter to my handle (@MNSportsWriter), on Facebook or email it to me through the contact link in my profile.
What is your opinion of the lockout and who do you side with?
It stinks.
I grew up watching and playing hockey. I attended South St. Paul High School games. I attended University of Minnesota games. I attended Minnesota North Stars games. I attended Minnesota Wild games.
It is hard to think that the NHL will miss more games.
I need to know a lot more information before I campaign for either side.
I side with the part-time arena workers and beat writers who are forced to assist the beat writers of other local teams.
What do you point to as the first sign that the lockout was coming?
The first sign that work stoppage was forthcoming was the day the NHL Players Association hired Donald Fehr as its executive director.
Every time Fehr is involved a labor dispute ensues.
It takes two to tango and Fehr loves to dance.
What do you see as the Wild's biggest weakness right now?
The new additions, both from free agency and from the amateur ranks, have played very little together. The only time they have is at offseason training scrimmages or the Wild's development camp.
The quicker they can come together the better off the Wild will be.
How will the lineup change if the NHL loses the entire year?
Goaltender is the most intriguing lineup change.
Niklas Backstrom is scheduled to become a free agent. Matt Hackett's performance in the NHL last season and the multi-year contract given to Josh Harding leads me to believe that Backstrom will not be re-signed.
Harding and Hackett will battle for the starting spot. They will probably split time or Hackett will run with the full-time job. The other option is that Hackett plays another year in Houston, which is highly unlikely and not developmentally good for him.
The other players that are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents that may not be back are forwards Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Matt Cullen and Stephane Veilleux and defensemen Drew Bagnall and Justin Falk. There are also plenty of restricted free agents that may not be given a qualifying offer or could be traded.

Road Trip Anthems
by Rachel Devitt | May 18, 2013
Nothing says summer like hopping in the car, filling up the tank and hitting the highway (or, even better, a back road). (OK, sometimes those idyllic, wanderin', wayfarin' adventures end up looking more like us in a minivan trying to lull screaming kids with videos so we can enjoy the open road in peace while we trek and trudge our way to some family-friendly destination.) But no matter your road trip scenario, there's something poetic about those moments where you look out the windshield and all you see is miles and miles of asphalt heading ... somewhere. And whether you're stuffing the kids full of Pirate Booty and Pixar movies or meandering your way through an epic Americana adventure, you've got to have a killer road trip soundtrack. We got you covered, fellow traveler. When you head out this summer, make sure you bring this playlist of rambling anthems, from "Born to Be Wild" to "Low Rider," Florida Georgia Line's hit "Cruise" to classic cruiser anthems like "On the Road Again." Hit the road, Jack! (And yes, that's on there, too.)

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 29, 2008 A senior Army officer responsible for soldiers' housing pledged remedial action in the wake of news reports citing some soldiers living on Fort Bragg, N.C., were housed in substandard quarters.
"It is my responsibility for maintaining barracks throughout the Army," Brig. Gen. Dennis E. Rogers, deputy director of operations and facilities for U.S. Army Installation Management Command, in Arlington, Va., said today during a roundtable discussion with Pentagon reporters.
"Folks, we let our soldiers down, and that's not like us," Rogers emphasized to reporters. "That's not how we want America's sons and daughters to live, and there's no good excuse for what happened."
Earlier this month, the father of one of the Fort Bragg-based soldiers uploaded a video onto an Internet Web site that depicted a clogged bathroom drain and profuse peeling paint inside a 1950s-vintage barracks that housed his son and some other 82nd Airborne Division soldiers who recently redeployed to Fort Bragg after a duty tour in Afghanistan.
However, work orders had already been submitted to correct the barrack's discrepancies that were identified in the video, Rogers said. Most of the shortfalls, he added, had been corrected before the video's posting.
"The flaking paint condition was, in fact, ugly. … We have scraped that paint off, and the surfaces are being repainted," Rogers said.
The clogged and flooded drain in the bathroom floor was reported and repaired immediately, he said.
Twenty-three other 1950s-style barracks are in use on Fort Bragg, and all of them are slated for demolition within the next five years as new barracks are constructed, Rogers said. There are no health or safety issues with those older barracks, he added.
There is a process in place at Army posts worldwide in which older barracks in use are maintained until they are torn down, Rogers reported. That process failed at Fort Bragg, he acknowledged.
The older barracks used to house soldiers "are looking worse and worse, so we're getting the new barracks on line as soon as possible," Rogers said.
Senior Army leaders directed garrison commanders worldwide to walk through and inspect their barracks April 26-27, Rogers said. The feedback is still being examined, and a report may be ready as early as sometime next week, he said.
"We got most of those barracks looked at," Rogers said, noting some rooms were unavailable for inspection until residents had returned from four-day passes.
Meanwhile, Army garrison commanders and command sergeants major have made an assessment that soldiers are housed in accordance with Army standards, Rogers said. On-the-spot corrections have been made to bring unsatisfactory barracks living conditions into compliance with Army standards, he noted.
Installation Management Command's top enlisted person, Command Sgt. Major Debra L. Strickland, accompanied Rogers at the roundtable. Strickland will chair a noncommissioned officer forum that will provide an NCO perspective on Army barracks issues, Rogers said.
Taking care of soldiers, including ensuring their living quarters meet Army standards, is an NCO's primary task, Strickland told reporters.
"The noncommissioned corps has the basic responsibility for the welfare of our soldiers," Strickland pointed out.
More than 10,800 of Fort Bragg's 51,000 soldiers live in barracks or post family housing units, according to installation officials.

Ecology and management of saltcedar (Tamarix ramosissima, T. chinensis and T. ramosissima x T. chinensis hybrids)
Jacobs, Jim; Sing, Sharlene. 2007. Ecology and management of saltcedar (Tamarix ramosissima, T. chinensis and T. ramosissima x T. chinensis hybrids). Invasive Species Technical Note No. MT-13. Bozeman, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service. 12 p.
Saltcedar, also known by the common name tamarisk (Tamarix spp; Tamaricaceae taxonomic family), is a long-lived, invasive deciduous shrub or small tree intentionally introduced to North America from Eurasia for ornamental, wind break, and erosion mitigating purposes in the early 1800s. The spread of this species, both vegetatively from submerged stems and root sprouts, and sexually by seed, is optimized in riparian habitats. Saltcedar escaped controlled cultivation by the late 1800s with weedy populations reported in Montana since the 1960s. Until recent discoveries of saltcedar populations in North Dakota, Montana infestations represented the northern-most Great Plains distribution of this species in North America. Recent surveys indicate that in Montana, saltcedar has established on the Yellowstone River east of Big Timber; on the Bighorn River from Wyoming to the Yellowstone River; on the Powder River from Wyoming to the Yellowstone River; along the shoreline of Fort Peck reservoir (see Figure 1), and on the Musselshell River from Ryegate to Fort Peck Reservoir (Pearce and Smith 2003). It is also found outside riparian settings, including along irrigation ditches, stock ponds, reservoirs, and roadside borrow pits and establishes opportunistically on available moist, bare soil. Saltcedar has been planted as an ornamental throughout Montana, with known specimens or stands reported from Missoula, Kalispell, Polson, near Canyon Ferry Reservoir, Marias, Malta, and Glasgow. Unintentional introductions and existing, intentional horticultural plantings position this weed to potentially invade much of Montana's water resources.

Help A Poor Country Boy Post A Pic !
I'm using this section as everyone's encouraged to post their pics, so I know that ya'll are accomplished posters of pics.
When I attempt to post a pic, I click on the 'Insert Image' symbol, and a Drummer World pop up asks me to insert an URL. I have many pics on my pc, none of them appear to have a URL, I thought that URL's are internet address's?
So what am I doing wrong? . . .how do I get a pic from my desktop, or pictures folders (something I've done many times before posting on other websites).
Normally your given the choice of browsing through what exists on your pc or lap top, then you just click on 'Open' and it's uploaded.
But not so here! . . . . . . .please help this poor country boy!
Many, many thanks!

Sudan: Guarded joy at registration
Wednesday, December 08, 2010
By Nils Carstensen
David Hiiboro is holding up a deep blue index finger. "I finally got to register today. When we signed the peace agreement back in 2005, I never imagined we would actually get to this point."
Kenneth Duku, showing his blue finger, says: "I'll be ready to vote from very early in the morning on January 9. And if the result comes out the way I wish for - but only then - I'll be the first one to start jumping up and down."
Hiiboro spent 10 years of his young life in the bush with the southern rebel movement but now works with a company based in Juba. Duku worked for more than a decade discreetly in northern Sudan trying to help some of the millions of displaced living in huge ram-shackle camps on the brink of the dessert in different parts of the north. Today he continues supporting people in need, only now from Juba in the south.
Looking at the huge smiles on the faces of Hiiboro and Duku, you recognise how deep emotions run in this referendum. It comes at the end of a six year long peace agreement, which many hope will end several decades of war and instability between northern and southern Sudan.
But following on the heels of the cheers and joy at voter registration centres, comes fears the referendum could trigger a major crisis in Sudan. Few expect a return to full-scale war between north and south but many fear mounting political tension and numerous possible local conflicts may trigger a large scale exodus of southern Sudanese from the north. The number of southerners remaining in the north is essentially unknown but likely to be in the magnitude of one million.
Tens of thousands have already left Khartoum, some on transport organised by the government in the south, others setting out on their own. They all embark on a journey likely to take weeks using local lorries, buses and river barges down the Nile. All will have to cross the border between north and south where political tension and military build-up has increased significantly over the last months.
Early reports of people getting stuck along the route and running out of basics like shelter, food and water are already coming in from Bentiu in Upper Nile.
"From pastors and officials with local churches, we already know that tens of thousands of people are on the move," explains John Ashworth who works with the church network Sudan Ecumenical Forum. He is monitoring the movement of people and has already received the first reports of harassment, violence and rape against some returnees.
In the face of these events, ACT Alliance members in Sudan are preparing how best to help people as they return to the south, in possibly large numbers.
"We still have many of our people in the north," explains John Bullen of ACT Alliance affiliate Church and Development based in Jonglei State. "Many would prefer to stay in Khartoum where some have jobs, plots of land and schooling for their kids. But if they feel that things are getting dangerous for them in the north, they'll start coming this way."
Church and Development is just one of 21 ACT Alliance organisations preparing to assist people over the coming weeks and months. All working together under an ACT Alliance emergency preparedness appeal, the organisations have started emergency training in all 10 southern states and the three contested areas bordering north and south. As well, they are working to procure essential relief items, along with bicycles, motorbikes and satellite phones.
As in the past, local churches and international church agencies have a crucial role at this moment in the history of Africa's largest country.
Catholic Bishop Paride Taban has been at the heart of Southern Sudan's decades long struggle for peace with justice since the 1950s. Although officially retired, he was recently a member of a church delegation that met UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon and senior White House officials in Washington DC.
As Bishop Paride Taban prepares a truck with goods for his home village in a remote part of Eastern Equatoria, he stresses the importance of the coming months.
"The church in Sudan now has a very strong network with churches all over the world - even to universities and schools," explains the bishop. "All these contacts mean we can sensitise people in Sudan and all over the world, uniting them in different ways."
According to Bishop Taban, the most important things the churches can do are organise prayers for Sudan, use church networks to appeal for a peaceful and fair referendum, and support people in need, such as those who may flee because of threats or violence because of the referendum.
As Kenneth Duku and David Hiiboro leave the registration centres, their papers are stored in grey plastic boxes alongside more than a million voters registered already. Back at the offices of ACT Alliance members DanChurchAid and Christian Aid in Juba, Duku and Hiiboro face a different challenge – buying relief kits and transporting them over long distances and near impassable tracks to where more than 25,000 returnees will need them in the coming months.
Nils Carstensen is a journalist with ACT Alliance member DanChurchAid.

TOM BRADSHAW: Bruce Craig's vision for Rec stadium and riverside is to be applauded
Posted: November 30, 2013|
I am sitting by the banks of the Avon, sipping a latte, leafing through my notes and rather enjoying the view. Parade Gardens are looking magnificent, and I've got a view of Pulteney Weir and Pulteney Bridge that I barely knew existed.
For now, this scenario remains one of the imagination rather than of reality. But if you want to catch a glimpse of what the future could hold, take a look at Bath Rugby's plans for a new and improved stadium on The Rec.
What a criminally under-appreciated and under-used facet of the city the riverside is. With the exception of a small area around the weir, most of the river through Bath is sorely overlooked. Amid the splendour of Roman baths and Georgian crescents, the river is largely an area of watery neglect.
Now Bath chairman Bruce Craig is keen to do something about it. I'll leave you to decide for yourselves whether you like the proposed architecture for the new stadium, but Craig's desire to inject new life along the eastern bank of the river is to be applauded.
Related content
Under the vision for the stadium outlined by the club's architects, the area behind the current West Stand will be a place where you can grab a coffee and take in the view. Neither activity is much encouraged by the present arrangements.
Of course, Bath Rugby want a nice new venue where they can play their home games and have a settled future. But in the course of providing that new stadium, the club is also keen to add something to the city's ambiance and aesthetic. In other words, Craig is putting his hand in his pocket for the public good as well as for the longevity of the club that he owns.
The club has, in the past, been accused of being a poor neighbour by that mysterious group The Friends of the Rec – an organisation of eccentric composition prone to even more eccentric public outbursts. But what Craig is trying to do sounds pretty neighbourly to me.
Only in Bath – a city that's stuck in a Development Ice Age due to an almost perpetual planning deep-freeze – would The Rec redevelopment still be at the talking stage.
To crack through the ice, have your say on the redevelopment proposals by giving feedback at www.bathrugby.com/recredevelopment. But if you want to make your views known, do so today – the deadline is upon us.
All of which doesn't leave me much room to talk rugby, other than to say that a swagger is starting to return to Bath on the field.
Nathan Catt and Ollie Devoto – two of the relative youngsters in the team – stood out against Wasps. They both played with an aggression and edge that should excite their team-mates and supporters alike.
And it's an aggression and edge that will be needed to blunt the Exeter Chiefs' tomahawk chop on Saturday.


text: Mandated and needed upgrades to the Bud King Ice Arena could result in almost doubling the proposed 2015 property tax levy increase for Winona residents. Mayor Mark Peterson told a Winona Radio audience the 1.4 million dollars for the arena project would be added to the 2.4 million dollar equipment bond issue in 2015 forcing the proposed property tax levy increase to go over 6-percent. Peterson also says the city has little choice in making the changes. The changes would include adding a new arena floor and were approved by the City Council this week during budget review sessions. Peterson also said the city has an opportunity to get $200,000 from the state for the arena project. Also approved were the purchase of two new fire department ladder trucks and a new roof on the Masonic Temple building in 2015. The preliminary levy will be set in September and cannot be raised prior to final approval in December.

There are lots of different ways to make money with a website. But when you're starting out the process should be simple and straightforward.
So here it is.
The Easiest Way I Know To Make Money With A Website
The easiest way I know how to make money with a website is using google adsense.
Adsense is how I started making money with my first website.
It's how I earned my first $100 check from google and it's how I recommend everyone starts making money with their website.
Let me introduce you to Joel Comm. He is the owner of the "Secret Classroom" video series where you can learn how to make money from twelve of the best internet marketers.
The reason I want you to visit his website is to download this free and instantly downloadable book from him called "Adsense Secrets 4″.
You can download Adsense Secrets 4 for free from this link.
The reason that that Adsense Secrets 4 is free is that some of the information is a little outdated but there is still a ton of top notch info in there.
He's coming out with Adsense Secrets 5 soon. I'll be buying it to see whats new in the world of adsense that I have been missing.
What You'll Learn From Joel's Free Book
He'll walk you through properly setting up your adsense account, show you where to place your ads, demonstrate how to encourage visitors to click your ads, and share lots of really awesome advanced techniques.
He sold this book for $97 and if I had heard of it when I was starting out I would have paid those $97. The fact that you can get it for free is outstanding and will really get you going in the right direction with adsense.
I am so jealous that you can download this book for free!
Where was this free resource when I was starting out? GRRRRR!!
Is it safe to assume that you already have a website, or at least know how to make one?
If not than watch this video on how to make a website. You're going to need to know how to make your very own website before you can make money with one.
Do you have any other "how to" questions that you would like answered? If so then leave them in the comment box below. I'll make your question the topic of an upcoming article.

Check Your Bowling Ball Speed
Most bowlers today are not completely sure about their bowling ball speed. It is important to know what your ball speed is at impact with the pins and to know the difference between average speed, speed at impact with the pins, and the speed your ball is delivered at when it first exits your hand.
Your bowling ball loses speed due to gravity and bowling lane surface friction as it travels down the lane. A body will preserve its velocity and direction so long as no force in its motion's direction acts on it. Since surface friction and the force of gravity will slow your ball, your speed at delivery is the highest speed you will attain and the speed at impact with the pins is the lowest speed your
bowling ball
will record. Average speed is just that, an average of your highest and lowest speed as your ball travels down the lane.
You certainly can use the speed readout from an automatic scorer device at your local bowling centers but there are associated challenges to the information scorers provide. Often times the scores are not routinely calibrated for accuracy.
The scorers speed readouts are measured at some distance before the ball impacts the pins so its measurements are not any of the key readings addressed above. These readouts cannot be an average speed because only one measurement is taken.
If the measurement was taken at impact with the pins, then the readout would be more useful. The readouts on automatic scorers for ball speed can be used, however, to compare your deliveries and find out how close you are delivering your ball at the same speed from shot to shot.
Guidelines provided by the manufacturers and the United States Bowling Congress' (USBC) recent Ball Motion Study regarding optimum ball speed will help you determine if you need to alter your normal ball speed range for the best results.
The information compiled from field studies shows that an effective ball speed is about 16 -17 miles per hour (mph) measured at impact with the pins and about 20 -21 mph when the ball is released onto the lane, plus or minus 1 mph tolerance, and about 18 mph overall average speed.
Typically, a bowling ball takes about 2.5 seconds elapsed time, plus or minus 0.15 seconds, to contact the pins at an instantaneous velocity of 16.7 mph with an average velocity at a desired range of 18 mph.
If you wish to check your own speed without using the automatic scorer in a bowling center, using a stopwatch is one way to determine the elapsed time your
bowling ball
takes to travel down the lane and impact the pins. Equip a friend with a stopwatch and deliver a series of five shots down the practice lane. Have your friend click the stopwatch at the precise moment you release the ball from your hand and then click it again at the precise moment your ball contacts the head pin. Average the five readings and come up with an overall average elapsed time reading that you can plug into a speed chart to convert into mph at impact with the pins. Of course, use of a stopwatch is not a perfect science but it is surprising how with a little practice, one can achieve fairly consistent readings.
The following list is from a Bowling Ball Speed Chart used in a previous article entitled "Bowling Ball Speed Chart." This data is designed to help you convert your elapsed time into ball speed at impact with the pins:
Elapsed Time/Ball Speed
3.0 sec./13.9 mph.
2.9 sec./14.4 mph.
2.8 sec./14.9 mph.
2.7 sec./15.4 mph.
2.6 sec./16.0 mph.
2.5 sec./16.7 mph.
2.4 sec./17.4 mph.
2.3 sec./18.1 mph.
2.2 sec./19.0 mph.
2.1 sec./19.9 mph.
2.0 sec./20.8 mph.
As we can tell from this data, the elapsed time it takes your ball to reach the pins will give you a good idea if your speed at impact with the pins is close to the recommended speed by the ball companies or by the USBC field studies.
Because you do not have access to the same speed measuring device manufacturers use to test bowling balls, known as the C.A.T.S. (Computer Aided Tracking System) computer, the stopwatch method of finding your ball speed is a good substitute when used in conjunction with the ball speed data above.
As you can easily see, a ball speed associated with a 2.5 second elapsed time is an ideal range to delivery a bowling ball for achieving a consistent ball motion. The margin of error is 0.15 seconds. So if your speed is calculated using this stopwatch method at being between 2.3 to 2.7 seconds, you can safely assume you are delivering your ball at a speed which can produce good results depending on your accuracy.
We recommend you consult with a certified coach or a professional bowling instructor to learn how to make adjustments in your technique to either pick up or reduce your speed. Your goal should be developing effective ball speed control.
Any coach will tell you that, once you find the right ball speed, maintaining consistent speed control is a key factor in producing a predictable ball reaction that leads to high scores.

- EZRA JACK KEATS and New York Public Library New Writer and New Illustrator Award for children's books
- ALA Caldecott MedalAwarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
The Story in the Picture
The following is taken from the book "The Story in the Picture: Inquiry and artmaking with young children" by Christine Mulcahey, p.69-70.
"They discussed the pets they had, and many of them had dogs or cats. I then showed them Country Dog Gentlemen, a painting by Roy de Forest, who creates many paintings and sculptures of dogs.
I was surprised to find that the children loved his painting.
...About a month prior, I had read Why is Blue Dog Blue? which is about the blue dog paintings by George Rodrigue.
...When I asked the children why the artist would paint dogs that way, Sherri replied, "The artist can do whatever they want. If they want to paint that way, they can." And so the children painted and drew their dogs and animals any way they wanted too!"
The above image comes from "The Country Dog Gentlemen Travel to Extraordinary Worlds" website produced by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

republicans are truely disgusting and greedy people. I can't wait until most of them are run out of office on rails.
The problem is the failure of the republican party platform, which many Americans seem to forget has a track record of the situation we are in now. Ohio had republican domination for all of the Bush admin and many years before W took office. That combined with national policy going the republican way with W in office and a republican congress KILLED Ohio, and set us back for years.
We need to invest in green energy, decrease taxes on mom & pop shops and big business that employ unions - that way, people will locally gain more income, instead of fat cats on wall street and rich executives. It will make the middle class blossom.
We also need to quit buying crap from communist China. Every time you shop at walmart, and buy that Chinese junk, you are paying more for that product due to the increase in oil demand that China is leveraging on the world, which is a nig reason why gas is going through the roof. It's the high cost of low price.
But this all starts with us. If we buy local, American Made products from our neighbors, elect people who adhere to the democratic party platform and hold them to it, and start acting like a community again instead of every person for themselves, things will get better.
If we don't, well, look at the past 7 years, and look at where we are now.
I agree dasagent, but Bush doesn't deserve all the blame. The republicans that went along with thier massively flawed and unamerican platform as well as all the greedy morons who voted for him deserve much of the blame as well. Pleaple like MrCleaveland for example.
Most of the country has been suffering from these policies for some time. People like MrCleaveland, who is partially responsible for the cloossal mess are starting to take hits now, or will be soon. I just found out that one "wealthy" suburb in the Cleveland area has an increase of over 600 homes going into pre-foreclosure. Now, MrCleaveland's home value will go down, and I'm sure his neighbors can't pay the bills due to job losses (maybe overseas, outsourced, laid-off, etc). His job may be next.
It would be a great disservice to the city of Cleveland, the fans, and LeCharles if the browns front office let this guy go. We finally get a hometown guy, that is a great player, who came here becuase he loves the browns and the city, and now the brass wants to discard him. They gave that piece of garbage Winslow another chance, they better give LeCharles another chance as well.
We already have the best city rail system in the country in RTA, which I'll bet is doing well with the high gas prices. This proposed rail system would be awsome! As for the "terror" aspect of htis, don't worry. Most of you terror mongers are republican, and everyone knows the middle and working class ride things like trains, so if an attack does happen, you and your precious BMW will be just fine.
Be sure to ride your bike. My american made car doesn't leave the driveway on the weekends, and I'm easily able to get to downtown, neighboring cities and any store I need to get to. It can be argued by the decrease in oil consumption, building passenger rail lines is helping to defeat terrorism. Living in Lakewood actually saves me money in this regard.
Vote democrat in 08' - they abviously get what the country and vast majority of it's citizens need - a great energy policy and higher taxes on rich people to pay for things like a rail line.
We definately need to bail out the folks who were suckered into bad loans.
1. The loan industry gave loans to people on homes that were over-valued. This allowed the home values in the communities to soar, allowing some middle class folks and many rich folk to take out 2nd mortgages/home lines of credit to put a granite countertop in this kitchen, or buy some huge blinged out SUV. Wealthy people benefited from the increased home values.
2. Most people who own a significat amount of stock in the companies that ripped off the people are rich folks who can afford things like 20% down payments and extra cash to invest in countywide stocks. They MADE money on predatory lending.
We need to raise taxes in rich people to pay for the bail-out. Maybe a few granite counter-top companies may go out of business, or the Shaper Image might lose a few bucks, but it would benefit those who suffered from the predatory lending schemes (including those of us whose neighborshoods suffer because of the practice).
In conclusion - raise taxes on families making over 200K by 25%. Take the money and use to improve the neighborhoods devestated by predatory lenders. Use the money to build a green infrastructure. Use the money to get America off the oil tit. Then throw the people responsible for the lending in jail.
Angelos is awsome, and so is Danny Boy's. I agree with many posters on here. When I lived out of town for 10 years, the pizza in other places sucked in comparison to C-Town's Za.
Mama Mia's in Solon used to make a mean pie as well.
Shapiro and Dolan blew it in the offseason when they didn't UPGRADE some key positions! The Dellucci/Micheals platoon of 2 average-at-best-total-lack-of-power debacle will go down as the Alex Cole move of this decade. They could have and should have kept Lofton, and signed a power hitting, established big leaguer and pay him some $$$$$$. Franklin was a gamble, but you had Francisco and Choo waiting in the wings, so that gamble wasn't so bad. Marte, what can I say?! That guy sucks, period. He has no business being on the team and reminds me of the Chris Magruder flap of 02'. His spot should have been filled by the HIGHLY over-rated Asdrubal Cabrera. Cabrera is nothing more that a poor mans version of Alan Bannister. Johnny Mac is/was a better utility guy than cabrera. The guy they gave up on too early is Barfield.
Here is what this team should have looked like at the start of the season:
1. Sizemore - CF
2. Barfield - 2B
3. Martinez - C
4. Hafner - DH
5. Established Power Hitting OF - L
6. Peralta - SS
7. Franklin - R
8. Garko - 1B
9. Blake 3B
utility INF
Cabrerra, Carroll, Shoppach
utlility OF
Lofton, Francisco, Choo, BONDS
Why aren't the Indians signing Bonds right now?
The tribe needs to bring up many of thier best prospects the 2nd half of the season, and trade away thier best trade bait. For once, I agree with Terry Pluto - put Peralta at 3rd. As of now the only position players that should be a lock for the 09' squad are:
Every other player should be on the block.
Pitching locks of 09' squad are:
Sabathia (if we can keep em'
As for management - they are running this team like the Big Three. I'd love to see Dolan sell the team to someone who has money to burn, and wants to spend it, or a group of old rich guys that have money to burn and want to spend it. Instead, we have the WalMart shopping Dolan, who hasn't spent the money to sign a quality free agent YET! (no offense Byrdie)
Shapiro, who's had his hands tied due to the Dolan cheapness issue, has failed in shopping at Walmart for Mr. Dolan. The signing of Dellucci to all that money was laughable. They could have put ANY of thier minor league guys out there and gotten better production for 1/15 of the price, and saved $$$ to sign real players or keep the studs you have now.
Dolan and the tribe have the "Walmart" mentality of baseball. Buy cheap, and hope it lasts and performs. It won't work anymore.
Many fans are missing the point - the "free market" st=ystem of baseball is broken and inadequate. Cleveland and EVERY other small and midsized market team will NEVER have the same opportunities, championships, revenues, talented players as the big market clubs. Keepng your star players around allows teams to rebuild and have a mediocre season without losing too many fans because they want to see the CC type players on the team. The Chicago, NY & Bostons of the league just go out and buy that scenario - BY GETTING YOUR TEAM's PLAYERS!
The free market system just doesn't work (for the vast majority of teams), and the only way a team like Cleveland can keep guys like CC is by having an owner who is so wealthy, he can afford to take massive losses each year.
The change needs to come in the form of a salary cap, revenue sharing AND a massive luxary tax on the New Yorks and Bostons. Until that happens, expect medicrity from the Indians, and expect to lose our star players. Every once in a while, the stars may align, and we may get some sort of championship.
The baseball of old is dead. This new system of baseball is nothing more than Walmart for most of us. You get what you pay for. And for those clubs that can afford Crocker Park, well, take a look at the past 15 world series champions (and thier payroll). It's pretty clear.
The system of baseball is broken, and we'll continue on this roller coaster (with no World Series), unless it's changed.
Who do you think will sign CC after the Brewers come up short in the playoffs? The usual suspects of course - Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers, Cubs, White Sox, Angels and one larger mid-market who decides to start spending. What does this mean?
First, imagine all the time, effort and money it takes to develop a CC Sabathia - quite a bit. Teams like the tribe spend that dough, and benefit for a few years when and if the player is productive.
Second, to get can't miss talent like CC, your team has to suck. When your team sucks on a consistent basis, you get many more opportunities to pick up MLB talent and devolp it for a few years of productivity.
Third, once you suck for a long period of time, thereby increasing your odds of getting better talent, and after you spend alot of money developing that talent until the point that he is productive, he's gone once he can be a free agent. He's gone to the Yankees or some other team with big money, who put thier funds into buying the prospect you developed
The benefit for the Yankees is, you consistently are in the playoffs, and your odds of winning championships is much greater, therefore, you get crappier draft picks, and don't neccisarily need to spend money on prospects as much as teams like the Indians do.
The solution - 1.) Salary Cap 2.) League Revenue Sharing 3.) Eliminate Agents (whoever heard of having both a union AND an agent to represent you)
If the league doesn't do those things, follow your beloved team for free via internet or TV (and do reverse marketing, ie DON'T buy anything from the advertisers). Then, write a letter to your federal elected officials (and carbon copy Larry Dolan), and ask that he'she support a bill in congress that would eliminate all MLB's legal exemptions. Unfortunately, baseball is as much about politics and making money as, well, politics. Your vote is with a letter, word of mouth and your lack of spending one nickle on the game.
Good luck CC, I hope you get as much money as possible. Good luck Mr. Dolan, I hope you retain as much money as possible. And good luck fellow Indians Fan, I doubt we'll ever see a championship here under the current system.
Here is my question - If gas is becoming so expensive, and that increase in cost is due to the demands in China and Middle East, why aren't the increased costs keeping thier demand down as well?
I'll bet it has something to do with the fact China and the ME have money to burn becuase they are not paying interest on a huge amount of national debt - like the US is.
I must say - Terry Pluto is a horrible reporter. His takes are bland, boring and painfully obvious. Yawn.
don't let the door hit you in the arse - you are exactly the type of "people" that this area, state and country need less of. You know, the type of person that blames workers instead of management. The type of person who blames working class people instead of "captains of industry".
I've stated on this site before, the problem with the indians is a problem with baseball. When the system perpetuates and rewrards the rich ballclubs - the rest of the ballclubs lose (just like America. The system of baseball is set up perfectly for guys like bigdaddympd - the rich get richer, the poor get Edward Mujica pitching in your bullpen. I'm sure morons like BIGDADDYMPD blame the diminished American automobile industry on unions, and the workers who are just trying to make a buck too. When it's painfully obvious that management and unregulated capitalism have been the nail in the coffin for the Big Three. I'm sure if regulations on the automobile industry were put into effect, and the big three management HAD ANY FORESIGHT WHATSOEVER, they'd be building cars that get 50 mpg, and even morons like BIGDADDYMPD would be buying them. The same thing goes for baseball. If the playing field were evened out (ie - HUGE revenue sharing & salary caps), and Dolan/Shapiro, etc were able to compete due to leveling the financial playing field, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Instead, we'd be talking about CC's next start as an Indian.
I just hope my fellow Clevelanders and Americans realize what a complete moron guys like BIGDADDYMPD are. The last eight years in the country, and, the last 40 years in Cleveland baseball are proof of what happens when we let guys like this make decisions for the rest of us.
I'll repeat, don't let the door hit you in the arse when you leave BIGDADDYMPD, Cleveland becomes a better place when we purge ourselves of morons like you.
We can buy them by selling our CC Sabathia, Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, Milton Bradley, Ryan Ludwick, Bartolo Colon, Omar Vizquel, Richie Sexton, Brain Giles, Jeremy Guthrie, Kenny Lofton jerseys on ebay. We could also raise funds by going to Pittsburg and selling Great Lakes Beer there. Pittspukers would buy up the first good beer they've ever had in thier lives, raising the rest of the monet need to buy the team.
Once we bought the team, do the following: 1.) Hire Butch Davis as Coach/GM 2.) Change the teams colors to pink and white. 3.) Draft nothing but michigan players, and sign only michigan free agents. 4.) Replace the teams cheerleaders with women who are actually from Pittsburg. 5.)Start a charity for the city, offering free dental services to Pittsburg residents, and be sure to initiate a marketing campaign to educate the populace on what a dentist does.
The rest will take care of itself.

A few weeks ago, a caller to our Sound Off line opened up a can of worms by saying he or she has visited many churches and has concluded that the people who want to pay attention to the sermon sit up front and the people who want to gossip and talk about people sit in the back two rows.
The caller asked, "Is that a tradition? It seems like every place I go and talk to people it's the same problem everywhere."

Solaris Password Policy
From Brandonhutchinson.com
The following steps are for Solaris 9, although are probably also applicable for Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8. Solaris 10 has much better password controls built-in.
Password Aging
New Accounts
/etc/default/passwd is the file related to password aging on new accounts.
- MAXWEEKS= is the maximum number of weeks a password may be used.
- MINWEEKS= is the minimum number of weeks allowed between password changes.
- WARNWEEKS= (not present by default) is the number of weeks' warning given before a password expires.
Existing Accounts
/usr/bin/passwd is used to modify password aging on existing accounts. passwd does not update the last password change field (field 3) in /etc/shadow, so passwords could expire immediately after running it.
User hutchib was already created with no password aging (MAXWEEKS= in /etc/default/passwd). To configure the following:
- A minimum of 7 days between password changes.
- Password expiration after 90 days.
- Begin warning about password expiration 14 days in advance.
# /usr/bin/passwd -n 7 -w 14 -x 90 hutchib
What happens when your password expires?
When your password expires, you are allowed a "grace login" where your old password is accepted, but you must immediately change your password. After changing your password, the connection is closed and you must login again.
WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! passwd: Changing password for hutchib Enter existing login password: New Password: Re-enter new Password: passwd: password successfully changed for hutchib Connection to host closed.
Password Complexity
The default Solaris install does provide pam_cracklib or pam_passwdqc. If the default password complexity rules are insufficient, these PAM modules (preferably pam_passwdqc) should be used.
Default password complexity rules from passwd(1):
Passwords must be constructed to meet the following require- ments: o Each password must have PASSLENGTH characters, where PASSLENGTH is defined in /etc/default/passwd and is set to 6. Only the first eight characters are signifi- cant. o Each password must contain at least two alphabetic characters and at least one numeric or special charac- ter. In this case, "alphabetic" refers to all upper or lower case letters. o Each password must differ from the user's login name and any reverse or circular shift of that login name. For comparison purposes, an upper case letter and its corresponding lower case letter are equivalent. o New passwords must differ from the old by at least three characters. For comparison purposes, an upper case letter and its corresponding lower case letter are equivalent.
Password History
Password history--i.e., preventing re-use of old passwords--may be enabled using both pam_unix (stores the old password) and pam_cracklib (prevents re-use). By default, password history is disabled.
Example: Prevent re-use of each user's last 24 passwords.
- Create the password database store.
# touch /etc/security/opasswd # chown root:root /etc/security/opasswd # chmod 600 /etc/security/opasswd
- Configure PAM.
Relevant entry in bold in /etc/pam.d/system-auth:
password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow remember=24
Account Lockout
Account lockout after a number of unsuccessful authentication attempts may be enabled using pam_tally. In this example, accounts are locked out after 5 failed login attempts. Twice an hour, the failed login counter is reset. The failed login counter is also reset with each successful authentication (reset option in PAM configuration).
- Create the pam_tally store for failed login attempts.
# touch /var/log/faillog # chown root:root /var/log/faillog # chmod 600 /var/log/faillog
- Configure PAM.
Relevant entries in bold in /etc/pam.d/system-auth:
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so onerr=fail no_magic_root auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so deny=5 no_magic_root reset
- Run the reset_failed_logins script periodically from cron, unless your version of pam_tally supports the unlock_time parameter (pam_tally from the pam-0.77-66.5 package in this example does not).
Example root crontab:
# Reset pam_tally counter twice hourly 0,30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/reset_failed_logins

Golf's 13 Greatest Strokes Of Luck
To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we look back at major-winning golfers who had good fortune on their side
Tiger Woods
(2000 PGA Championship)
Woods needed three extra holes to hold off journeyman Bob May and win his third straight major championship. He also needed a fortuitous kick on the tournament's final hole. With a one-shot lead while playing Valhalla's 18th hole for the second time that Sunday, Woods hooked his tee shot well left. The ball hit a tree and then vanished from TV cameras momentarily before it reappeared bounding down a path and back in play. Woods took advantage of the break by making a par to win by one and keep his chances of a "Tiger Slam" alive.

IChat and PC
My daughter is going to school in England. I have a G5 with Tiger and she has a laptop running XP witha Logitech webcam. Can I use IChat with ISight cam and have GOOD video and audio. I saw some on MSM Messenger on a cable modem and the video was choppy. Is there another service that I can use?
the clarity of the video mainly has to do with your connection to the internet.if you have dial up the quality will be really choppy. DSL depending on the speed will also have some choppy times. cable is usally faster and cheaper than dsl but it will still be choppy at times. for really good clear video you have to have an upload speed of about 768k-1mbps. dont be mislead by internet providers who say you get 3mbps speed that usally is the download speed and the service usally only has a 256k-512k upload speed. where i live i can get cable with a insane speed of 1mbps upload and 9mbps i have only used the voice part and it sounds as clear as a regular phone call.
