Recently in a television interview Sarah Palin pointed out the obvious: "Nancy Pelosi is a Ding Bat, and she is the perfect spokesperson for this whole agenda of the far left running the democrat party…"
American Grizzlies United wholeheartedly agrees. Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi is not the only #DingBat in the United States House of Representatives. Fortunately, there is an alternative to Nancy Pelosi's mini-me (and fellow #DingBat) Debbie Wasserman Schultz: VOTE Karen Harrington for FL-23.
Shortly after Sarah Palin's straightforward and honest statement, AGU-CA's volunteers and friends at essexandorange1773 introduced the above #DingBat image: In honor of Nancy's dimwittedness:
"…we will be posting her most recent idiotic statements on our website. When you see the "dingbat" graphic on a post, click on it for a good laugh". (essexandorange1773)
Nancy Pelosi aside, Floridians must deal with the other #DingBat in the House: Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Debbie is the Democrat House Rep for FL-23 and Chairwoman of the DNC.
You can turn on your television practically everyday and hear #DingBat Debbie's latest lie. All the way from the imaginary resurrection of Jim Crow Laws to her repeated lies about the imaginary GOP plan to gut Medicare, #DingBat Debbie never fails to deliver on her shared dimwittedness with Nancy Pelosi.
(Oh, and we can't forget #DingBat Debbie's lies about her imaginary War against Women…)
In this election cycle American Grizzlies United is focused on down ticket candidates who will stop the Obama agenda, bring sudden and relentless reform, and restore American greatness.
In order to restore America we need to repeal and replace dishonest people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Karen Harrington is on the AGU: 2012 Primary Candidates List.
From Karen's Website:
In the 2010 General election, and with only a few months of campaigning, Karen pulled in nearly 40% of the vote against Democratic incumbent Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. After such a strong showing in her first attempt at seeking public office, and an outcry of support from her family and supporters, Karen decided to make another run for Congress. She is running for public office to bring common sense back to Washington D.C., work on behalf of small business, tackle the crippling debt and ensure that Social Security and Medicare reforms become part of the political discourse in Washington,D.C.
To learn more about Karen check out her website:
To donate to Karen: Contribute
To volunteer for Karen: Get Involved
Primary Date: August 14, 2012
(NOTE: To help Karen you can also email our AGU-FL State Coordinator Amy: firstname.lastname@example.com)
We all have constructive roles to play in the restoration of America. Perhaps you have a special skill you would like to donate? Just let us know and we'll help you put that special skill to work and help get America back on track.
Our work continues…

- Location: Rome, Italy
- Language of Instruction: English (IES Courses and limited LUISS courses) and Italian (IES Courses)
- Minimum GPA: 3.0
- Class Eligibility: Sophomores, juniors, and seniors
The capital of Italy, Rome is the country's political center and a major religious center, being the host to the Vatican – an independent state within Rome.
Studying abroad in Rome means learning from Rome and its Mediterranean pace of life – from the open markets to the sudden strikes, and the high politics of a European capital. Over three million people do their daily business surrounded by 2,500 years of history.
- Visa:
Required. See NAFSA: Italy VISA FAQs.
- Fees: Students pay Haverford tuition, room, and partial board to Haverford College. Haverford will then be responsible for submitting tuition payments to the program.
Academic Overview
No previous Italian language study is required for the beginning level. One semester of Italian Language study (intermediate or equivalent) is required for the Internship Program and study at RUFA. Competitive program: apply early! Some university courses are not available to sophomores. The application requirements can be found on the IES website.
Academic Credit
Students must carry at least 15 credit hours per semester and are not permitted to take less than 15 credits per semester. Students must take an appropriate Italian Language course each semester. Italian majors must take all their courses in Italian at one of the Universities. Italian majors/minors cannot take courses toward their major/minor at the IES Center or take courses in English at the Center. Non-Italian major/minor students must enroll in at least one courses at one of the universities. Students who have no background in Italian must take the Intensive Italian course. This fulfills the Haverford language requirement. Major, minor, and concentration transfer credit will only be granted for courses in which students received a grade of a C or above.
- Unique Italian Studies Option for students with advanced Italian language experience.
- For students with beginning or intermediate levels of Italian language proficiency, IES Abroad jointly sponsors English-taught courses with the Università degli Studi Roma Tre
- For advanced language speakers, enroll in IES Abroad Italian-taught courses, and Italian-taught courses at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre.
- Studio Art at the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA)
Università Degli Studi Roma Tre Enrollment at Roma Tre is available for IES Abroad students who have completed at least four semesters of college-level Italian. Founded in 1992 as Rome's third university, Roma Tre has become the city's second largest, with over 35,000 students, and has gained a significant reputation in the Italian academic world thanks to its quality programs and international focus. Roma Tre offers advanced Italian-taught courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
Location & Commute Times: The campuses of Roma Tre are located throughout the city. The main campus is located in Piramide/Ostiense area in the southern part of the city. Directions to the locations of different faculties are located on Roma Tre's website. Rome is not a "university town" in the sense that student life is clustered around the universities; therefore, it takes about 45 minutes on the bus to travel from Roma Tre to the IES Abroad Rome Center.
Academic Options: Roma Tre offers IES Abroad students opportunities in the following areas: International Affairs, Religious Studies, Economics, Business, Education, Performing Arts. IES Abroad and Roma Tre also jointly offer English-taught courses. These courses are offered for half of the semester at the IES Abroad Rome Center and the remaining half of the semester on the Roma Tre campus.
Course Offering: Will vary from semester to semester. Exact course availability is determined shortly before the start of each semester. For this reason, it will not be possible for students to officially register until their arrival in Rome; however students will need to refer to current course offerings in order to pre-register as part of their application.
Rome University of the Fine Arts (RUFA) RUFA is a private art academy north of Rome's historic center near Piazza Verbano. Students with at least one semester of college-level Italian can enroll in up to two courses at RUFA.
Commute Time: The commute time from RUFA to the IES Abroad Rome Center is about 45 minutes to 1 hour by the bus. Rome is not a "university town" in the sense that student life is clustered around the universities.
Course Offerings: Will vary from semester to semester. Exact course availability is determined shortly before the start of each semester. For this reason, it will not be possible for you to officially register until your arrival in Rome; however, you will need to refer to current course offerings in order to pre-register as part of your application. Generally, RUFA offers courses in Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture.
Course Structure: Former IES Abroad students have enjoyed the individual attention they receive from RUFA faculty in their workshop-style classes at RUFA.
Grading System: Your grade is based on the portfolio of art work you produce by the end of the term.
Internships: All IES Abroad internships and social action opportunities are supervised and offered as academic options earning IES Abroad credit. The internship and social action option are complemented by a required 3-credit seminar that offers contextual support to studentsr practical work experience in Rome.

Italian Language, Art History, Literature & Film, International Relations, Religious Studies. IES offers courses in Anthropology, Art History, Art, Classics, Economics, Film Studies, History, International Relations, Italian Language, Literature, Photography, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, and Urban Studies.

Non-Academic Overview
Orientation: Students attend an orientation and three-week intensive language course prior to the start of classes.
Number of Students: Maximum of 140 students can attend each semester.
Housing/Meal Plans
Homestay is the only housing option open to Haverford students. Located throughout the city, homestays generally house one or two students. Bedrooms may be private or shared with another IES Abroad student. Students receive breakfast daily and share three evening meals each week with their host family. Standard commute time is 45 minutes from the homestay to the IES Abroad Center, which is typical for local students at Roman universities. Housing is not provided between semesters. Academic year students who remain in Rome during this period are responsible for arranging and paying for their own housing and meals during this time. Haverford believes that living with a family provides the best opportunity to learn a language and experience full cultural immersion. Haverford student may not opt to live in IES administered apartments. Haverford students may not opt for independent off-campus housing – that is, housing not arranged by the program.
Opportunities / Cultural Events
Cultural Events: Throughout the semester, IES Abroad Rome staff members routinely arrange a variety of enriching cultural opportunities for students. Past highlights include cooking classes, joining a Papal audience, Trattoria nights to sample Roman specialties, outings to art exhibitions, concerts, and the opera, an IES Abroad-sponsored student soccer game.
Field Trips: IES Abroad organizes several 2-day excursions to prime Italian destinations. The cost of one field trip is included in the program fee. You have the option of signing up for other field trips at your own cost if spots are available. Past destinations have included:

Meeting the Needs of Gifted and Talented Students
Mountain Phoenix Community School h0nors students with ALPs, and also ascribes to the philosophy that all children come with gifts. Students who are above grade level or who have Twice Exceptional needs are supported through approaches used in the regular classroom, as well as during skills periods. The philosophy of Susan Winebrenner whereby students gifts are understood and accommodations are put in place to support their learning in the regular classroom, inspires our approach. Accelerated students who are above grade level in reading, writing and math will be able to grow academically within the main lesson through differentiated strategies, as well as during skills classes where small groups of students are met at their instructional level.
It is the school's philosophy that all students should be challenged to grow academically, socially and emotionally during the school year. We are sensitive to students' individual needs, and teachers work with the Principal to understand how to meet the needs of gifted students in their classrooms. Because excess repetition is not needed for most gifted students, Mountain Phoenix staff will work with parents to provide a supportive environment where students with asynchronous needs are able to prosper and learn. Healthy development of the head, heart and hand requires that students develop their will by producing projects and/or main lesson books to demonstrate their learning. This is not always easy for highly gifted students. As parents and teachers work together, the student will develop areas of weakness as well as feel honored for their gifts.
If your child has an ALP (Advanced Learning Plan), please be sure the school and the teacher have a copy. This will help to facilitate greater understanding of your child's needs. All advanced students' needs should be met whether they have an ALP or not. The school's intervention team is ready to differentiate learning during skills periods based on an understanding of each child's needs and will work with the teachers to better understand each student.

Technically there is more then 100 post here at I Sheep Things because I brought on Rhii who has tossed up a few of her own but this post marks number 100 for myself. I suppose thats a good mile stone to address the public with a look back on a few of my favorite moments and what I see for IST in the future.
Blog Past
I wanted to start a WoW blog back in 07 but failed to actually begin the process till January of 08. After the launch of Blog Azeroth, I felt encouraged to fire this puppy up. The driving force wasn't to shed warcraft wisdom upon others, but to whine and complain of the many mishaps I encountered in Azeroth in Outlands raiding on a PvP server. That angle had already been covered as well (and done so by the hands of more eloquent writers then myself) . Still I launched in April of 08 with a few simple and short thoughts and posed questions to a very small group of readers. Back then my readership was composed of other WoW Bloggers who likely discovered me through my comments posted on their blogs. I started to hang out on Twitter and wrote up a few post here and there that grabbed the search engine traffic of the times. I started branching out to other websites through the use of Alltop, The Twisted Nether Wiki, and I even the privilege to represent the mage class on one of the WoW Insider Podcasts. Its taken me nearly a year to hit 100 posts. If you've read the blog lately you'd know that I don't post every 3 days. In fact its sometimes more then a week before you see a post from me. Thats just because sometimes Real Life takes its rightful place and I don't get around to blogging as much. That's why I decided to take on Rhii to help the speed in which I post here. She also has a very different style then I (meaning her post are enjoyable) so I'm happy she brings that to the blog.
Blog Present
As of now I have about 500 or so visits a day with about 60% of them being loyal readers like yourself. The Natural Search Traffic is still residual from an experiment I did to help share my research into a new speed leveling a Death Knight through Outland. At peek that post brought in 4k hits in a day. Kinda sad how almost all of my site's natural traffic is not Mage related! But I suppose I painted myself in a corner with my branding efforts. I expect to see more of this over time as I'm likely to cover more then just the Mage's point of view on WoW. I'm raiding with my Death Knight right now and slowly leveling my Mage. Perhaps by Patch 3.2 I'll have Aurdon as my main again. Until I start to dump tons and tons of time into my Mage, the posts here are going to be more general but I'll still be chiming in on all Mage changes that I feel need my chatter. Lets face it…you guys could do without my regurgitation of old news.
Blog Future
I want to do some housecleaning around here. Parts of the blog are quite dated. Expect to see the same frequency of my postings. I'll try and pick up the pace but there are TONS of great blogs out there that have lots of good stuff to read. I'm not going to clog up your readers with a post "just because its post day". I never force myself to post because that will just end up with some uninspired trash. I'm going to try and engage you the audience more. Always tell me what you are looking for and what you like best about the site. Use my email as I check that frequently. Heck you can even pick a random post and comment in it because I always watch those as well. I'm trying to get yet another blogger to join up with me to but well see how that turns out. I'm trying out some classes that I don't have very much experience with so there should be some fun leveling post now and then.
I guess the one thing you should walk away with after reading this is that I've had a blast these first 100 posts and I can't wait to enjoy the next 100. I hope you feel the same. <3

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Pop star shows pros -- and cons -- of Photoshop in music video
There seems to be a huge surge in "anti-Photoshop" campaigns lately, from users all over the Internet posting "Before and After" photos and GIFs of celebrities and models who have been airbrushed and edited.
If used properly, Photoshop can be a great tool to highlight someone's best features and yes, remove blemishes or even tattoos -- who wouldn't want to look his or her best in a wedding day photo, for example?
But when used to the extreme, Photoshop can be an instrumental tool in body shaming for both females and males, leading to "finished" results that don't even look like the original model or actor.
But it's not just photos that use the editing program, but television and movies, as well, not to mention music videos (Britney Spears, anyone?).
Boggie is a multilingual, Hungarian pop and jazz star who released a solo album last year, and while she appears in the video for her single "Nouveau Parfum," it's Photoshop that is the real star of the video for better...or worse.
By the time the video ends, Boggie doesn't even look like Boggie anymore.

CRESTVIEW — The Crestview High School gray baseball team takes on Baker next week during the 19th Annual Justin Richards Scholarship Tournament.
Admission to the tourney — which starts 9 a.m. Thursday and concludes with the 7 p.m. championship game Saturday at the Crestview High School baseball complex — is $5 a person each day.
This year's tournament — the longest continuously running high school baseball tournament in Okaloosa County — features teams from Baker, Choctawhatchee, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Freeport and Northview, along with the Red and Gray teams from host Crestview.
"There are not a lot of tournaments out there in general, but this one has been around a while," Bulldog Coach Tim Gillis said. "We get all the county schools that participate every year. Everybody loves the tournament and what it stands for.
The tournament's proceeds fund a scholarship honoring Justin Richards, a former Bulldog baseball player who died in a car accident his senior year on the day he signed a baseball scholarship.
Baker was a surprise winner of last year's tournament and Gillis is anxious to reclaim the championship trophy for the home team.
"I thought Baker played great last year and they deserved to win that tournament," he said. We had a great run ... We had nine games with all of our players.
"Obviously, that puts you in a bind, pitching-wise, because you spread pitching pretty thin, but it did us a lot of good. It did Baker a lot of good too. But we want to get back on the winning end of it for sure."
Gillis said the summer in general and the tournament in particular can help some players secure a spot on the team or in the starting lineup
"The summer gives me the opportunity to kind of evaluate guys a little more in depth situations," he said. Games during the summer might kind of be a little bit different, but a tournament game is more intense and it helps me have an idea of what we are going to start the season with at least next year."

wow ive tried to type something then erased it three times so... my opinion of this is ... this show is LOL... please cancel it
And I imagine the nooses hanging from the truck had nothing to do with the march breessucks?
im sorry if white people cant afford to take off of work or rally behind each other for a cause... It must be disheartening to know you are not as united.
beautiful video!!! really captures it! I was there yesterday
Tell em nolachick2!!!!
you should take that sentiment to jena thursday
And all of that is to say these kids had been subjected to violence themselves by whites.
ok.... since none of you wish to pay attention to the facts, here they are again
This all began September 2006, when Black students challenged the school official about being able to sit under the WHITE TREE in the school yard! The official reportedly told the kids to feel free to sit wherever they wanted. The day after the black kids sat under the tree, three hangman's nooses were found hanging from the tree.
The three white students responsible for hanging nooses in a tree in the school courtyard were punished with a few days of in-school suspension. The noose incident was dismissed as a childish prank. The following day, black students staged a spontaneous protest rally under the tree where the nooses had been discovered. Several black male athletes took the lead in this protest.....the same students who were eventually accused of attacking Justin Barker.
Shortly after that incident, District Attorney Reed Walters addressed an emergency school assembly called in response to the spontaneous student protest. With a dozen fully uniformed (and I'm assuming, armed) police officers in the auditorium, Walters warned protest organizers that with a stroke of his pen he could take their lives away. Walters has admitted under oath that he made this remark. His words were not aimed at the entire student body, nor at black students in general, he was speaking to the student athletes we now call the Jena 6. After the demonstration under the tree, Robert Bailey, Carwin Jones, Mychal Bell, Theodore Shaw, Jesse Beard and Bryant Ray Purvis became notorious.
In signed statements, several white and black students mentioned a series of verbal altercations during the lunch hour preceding the attack on Justin Barker. The trash-talking was directly related to a fight at the Fair Barn three days earlier. On that occasion, Robert Bailey and a few of his friends were invited to an all-white student party by some of their white friends. When Robert entered the building, he was punched in the face by a 22 year-old white male. In seconds, Robert was assaulted with beer bottles, punches and kicks in a virtual mirror image of the altercation at the high school three days later. The only differences were that the identity of the instigator in the Fair Barn incident was undisputed and that Robert remained conscious after the initial blow and was thus able to minimize the impact of the attack.
The following morning, Robert Bailey and two of the friends who had come to his aid during the Fair Barn assault were leaving a local convenience store when they encountered one of the country white males who had jumped Robert the night before. Fearing retaliation, the boy retreated to his truck and pulled out a pump-action, pistol-grip shotgun that looks like something the Terminator might have fancied. When Robert and his friends wrestled the weapon away from their would-be assailant they were charged with assault and theft. Once again, Jena's New Jim Crow regime was reinforced.
The violent assault at the Fair Barn, the convenience store incident, and the assault at the school followed in the wake of a traumatic school fire in late November. Everyone associated with the school was in a state of shock akin to post traumatic stress syndrome. Concerned by the wave of violence, several teachers asked administrators not to reopen the school the Monday morning of the assault.
Student statements suggest that the student who attacked Justin Barker was responding to taunts that Robert Bailey "had his butt kicked" at the Fair Barn. In the course of this verbal jousting, several students report that Justin Barker "got up in Mychal's face" and gave Mychal the finger. Tony Knapp, one of three boys who admitted to hanging nooses earlier in the school year, was also involved in this lunch hour altercation. At trial, District Attorney Reed Walters created the misleading impression that Barker was attacked by black thugs looking for a random white victim. He knew better...
* Several eyewitnesses recall that the initial punch was preceded by the shouted words, "This will teach you to run your mother f***ing mouth." This statement, repeated by too many witnesses to be seriously doubted, makes no sense apart from the trash talking described in student statements.
Justin Cooper was the only witness at trial to testify that Mychal Bell kicked Justin Barker as the victim lay unconscious on the ground. Since Justin Cooper was one of the boys who admitted to hanging the nooses at Jena High School, is he a reliable witness?
Jessica Hooter was one of four trial witnesses who identified Mychal as the person who threw the first punch at Justin Barker. Two days after the assault occurred, Jessica was unable to identify the initial attacker. But as she explained at trial, "After I thought about it more, I remembered more."
He was judged by an all white jury in a racial incident, I ask you as a white person, would you want to be judged by a jury of all blacks?
The single male juror graduated from High School with Justin Barker's father.
There was very shady and conflicting witness testimony about who threw the punch and who instigated the fight.
Last but not least, the public defender, who represented Mychal Bell, who is black, never called a single witness in his defense, in fact, the parents were not even allowed into the court room until the verdict was in.
The cowards to me are those that hung the noose... Hiding behind a symbol of hate is very courageous i suppose huh nola314?
there are historical and systemic flaws that continue to effect poor people of color in Louisiana an nationwide. The lack of effective and equitable representation in Mychal Bell's case is a major failure of the judicial system and must be investigated. This story is very lopsided. I am not saying that those who beat the young white man should not have to suffer the consequences, but the Idea that these youths should be charged with attempted second degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder is absurd! Shame on Louisiana's Judicial system for failing these kids, and shame on the DA in Jena. There is clearly a racial factor to this case.
i love when people come here and make baseless senseless comments about Islam... A picture of the prophet muhammad (pbuh) is strictly forbidden. It should be replaced with his name only. I am glad however to see the position that the court has taken.
WTF IS A GUMBO PARTY????????? if anyone is holding one may i please have an invitation.

There are three major types of garlic available in the United States: the white-skinned, strongly flavored American garlic; the Mexican and Italian garlic, both of which have mauve-colored skins and a somewhat milder flavor; and the gigantic white-skinned elephant garlic (which is not a true garlic, but a relative of the leek), the most mildly flavored of the three.
Crushing, chopping, pressing or pureeing garlic releases more of its essential oils and provides a sharper, more assertive flavor than slicing or leaving it whole. Garlic is readily available in forms other than fresh. Dehydrated garlic flakes (sometimes referred to as instant garlic) are slices or bits of garlic that must be reconstituted before using, unless it's added to a liquid-based dish, such as soup or stew.
When dehydrated garlic flakes are ground, the result is garlic powder. Garlic salt is garlic powder blended with salt and a moisture-absorbing agent. Garlic extract and garlic juice are derived from pressed garlic cloves.
A member of the lily family, garlic is a cousin to leeks, chives, onions and shallots. The edible bulb or "head" grows beneath the ground. This bulb is made up of sections called cloves, each encased in its own parchment-like membrane. Major garlic suppliers include the United States (mainly California, Texas and Louisiana), France, Spain, Italy and Mexico.
Garlic has long been credited with providing and prolonging physical strength and was fed to Egyptian slaves building the giant pyramids. Throughout the centuries, its medicinal claims have included cures for toothaches, consumption, open wounds and evil demons.
Pungent and aromatic
Garlic's flavor and aroma are permeating and add incomparable flavor to a dish

Summer School at BHS
Does anyone have any experience with the BHS summer program? I have a daughter interested in taking a class or two to get a jump on her Sophomore year. I have heard that some classes are unruly with students repeating a failed class. Any advice would be appreciated. Many thankx. Janet
Dear Ms. Antonnucio, Thank you for coming to Willard MS Monday night. I have one question that wasn't addressed: Are students able to take required courses during summer school, thus freeing up a semester during the regular school year for an elective?
Students can take some BHS graduation requirements at BHS summer school or at community college. But, Freshmen have to take English, IES, Math and P.E. The summer after freshmen year they could take a visual or performing arts class, P.E., an English or a history elective. The have to take required classes when they are required but they can take other courses like the ones listed to get ahead. Many of our students concurrently enroll at Vista community college during the summer for enrichment classes. Many of the BHS summer school classes are remedial. Occasionally we offer PE or art for students who want to get ahead. I hope this is clear and answers your question. Jennifer Antonuccio 9Th Grade Counselor Berkeley High School
Some time ago, I remember reading about the idea of entering BHS freshmen taking a course in summer school that lightens their first semester. Ethnic Studies? Does anybody know more details about this--such as timing, coursework, etc.? --Joan

AN ANGRY Stafford woman left horrified by plans for sex offenders to pour into Stafford has set up a petition against it.
Jackie French, 49, said she was left outraged by plans to make Stafford Prison a national centre for sex offenders, reported exclusively in the Newsletter last week.
The 200-year-old town centre jail already has nearly 300 sex offenders inside and has an established accredited rehabilitation programme.
By October all of its 741 inmates will be sex offenders and some of them might be resettled in Stafford as part of their release programme.

But Mrs French, a mum-of-four and grandmother of three, has said she is standing up against it as the town is already losing its university campus and facing having its hospital downgraded.
"We don't just want to be known as a centre for sex offenders," she said.
"Stafford is the county town but it is fast losing all of its vital services and gaining others that we don't want.
"When I read the Newsletter last week I couldn't believe it. I have set up an online petition and I am urging people to sign it and show their opposition against it.
"I have grandchildren and I worry about what we are leaving behind for them. Let's stand up in support of our town."
The petition can be found on the New Spotted Stafford site on Facebook at www.facebook.com

Doug Sanders Owns Best Suit ... Ever
Most remember Doug Sanders for what he didn't do at St. Andrews a number of years ago. Needing a three-footer on the 18th hole at the Old Course to beat Jack Nicklaus, Sanders shove-pushed-fanned-sliced his putt right, pulling a Scott Hoch before Scott Hoch was Scott Hoch (Online sportsbooks didn't have Sanders too high to win this week, trust me).
He went on to lose to Nicklaus in the 18-hole playoff in 1970, but was back at the Old Course this past week to be a part of the tournament. Sanders was asked about that tough defeat to Nicklaus, including the missed putt that would have snagged him a Claret jug, but was surprisingly optimistic about what happened to him so long ago.
"People say, 'Mr. Sanders, we're so sorry you missed that putt,' and a lot of them have forgotten that the guy that won was the greatest player in history," he said during a brief conversation before the leaders teed off Sunday. "It's almost like for them, I was the winner."
Who in the world is that confident, really? He got beat by missing a short putt, and looks at with a "glass half full" mentality? I have to say, I'm pretty impressed.
Oh, and to wear that suit. Honestly, is there a better thing in the history of golf? HE IS EVEN WEARING PINK SHOES!

Sanders was something else--Ian Poulter squared--with every color of threads and golf shoes in the rainbow. Follow this link to see a photo of Doug and Jack, including what Doug wore in the Open playoff:
There's this quote from Sanders I love. Asked if the 71 British still haunts him, he said, "No, sometimes I go as long as five minutes without thinking about that putt."

The Detroit Tigers addressed their need for a starting pitcher Saturday, acquiring righthander Doug Fister from the Seattle Mariners.
According to The Seattle Times, the Tigers also will receive reliever David Pauley, while the Mariners will get lefthander Charlie Furbush, outfielder Casper Wells, third base prospect Francisco Martinez and a player to be named. ESPN Seattle reports the PTBN will be one of the Tigers' top three picks in the 2010 draft: third baseman Alex Castellanos, righthander Chance Ruffin or lefthander Drew Smyly.
In 21 starts for the Mariners this season, Fister was 3-12 despite a 3.33 ERA. The 27-year-old has been plagued by a lack of run support this season and in his career. In 60 games (59 starts) for Seattle in the past three seasons, Fister is 12-30 with a 3.81 ERA.
The Tigers also had been linked to Colorado Rockies righthander Ubaldo Jimenez and Los Angeles Dodgers righthander Hiroki Kuroda in recent rumors.
In 39 relief appearances this season, Pauley is 5-4 with a 2.15 ERA.
Furbush is 1-3 with a 3.62 ERA in 17 games (two starts) as a rookie this season.
In 113 at-bats with Detroit this season, Wells hit .257 with four homers and 12 RBIs.
Martinez hit .282 with seven homers and 46 RBIs in 91 games at the Class AA level this season.

Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
I recently changed my Ibanez acoustic-electric from 12's to DR 10's and I was really pleased on the feel and tone quality. These strings have been around a while they used to be called Guild way back in the day. I stumbled onto these new type as I was searching for lighter gauge strings. I have bought some for all my electric and acoutics guitars and even bought some for my son's guitars, they love them!

Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
I have a godin a6 hybrid guitar.
electric guitar strings were recommended,
but the acoustic under-saddle pickup was
lost in the mix. I use 9 gauge acoustic strings
to tame the electric humbucker a bit. these
dr zebras with their nickel content bring out
the sustain, tone, and even balance of each
string like no other brand I've tried. they stay
in tune even with extreme bending but are a little
soft for my tastes.
my only suggestion is to use one gauge up from
what you normally use. the 9's in dr zebra are
great for playing leads but are very easily bent
so i'll go to 10's next time for better chording.
only 4 stars because I don't know the durability
as I just only restrung the godin. for an acoustic
that is troublesome getting good amplified sound,
this may be the fix you need. really.
I've been playing professionally for 30 years,
mostly acoustic. I own a taylor 12 fret, 814ce,
guild d-55, and have owned
many high-end martins and do my own set-ups,
fret polishing, and even refinishing of old keepsakes
like my guild d-30.
I used to use bose LI modelII,
but now I have
qsc's. my point is, I know my gear. sometimes
the easiest path is the best.
try these strings.
Best Uses
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
i used these on acoustic guitars that make higher gauged strings hard to play (lower quality guitars). They work great and sound great, but don't expect them to play as loud, nor can you play them as hard without distorting the sound. I use them on a guitar that is amplified through a pickup and they are really awesome. Playing longer is more enjoyable. The lightest gauge set I've found that's recommended for use on acoustic guitars.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
I don't think these strings are for everyone. They're far too light even to think about pounding with a flatpick for Bluegrass, IMHO. But for "parlor guitar" mostly fingerpicked stuff, they're marvelous.
The tone can't be matched by silk 'n' steel in mhy opinion, but they play as easy or easier on a well setup low action as classical strings if you wanna do a bit of Bach or whatever. Amp or PA board settings can add a bit of thickness to the tone on stage.
I can't speak to the guy switching from flatpicking a light-stringed electric very well because he/she may find the tone lacking on an acoustic if the same pick technique is used in the same place on the string length.
Beginners... if the guitar is set up high, as is common on a lot of low-end guitars, the fingering would be easy, but also easy to sound out of tune with beginner technique. They should consider at least the 10s if not 11s for a "light" string, again, in my own opinion.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
They're the best strings that money can buy. I've been playing for 40+ years.
I'm usually an electric guitar player. I wanted to be able to do unplugged stuff and still bend strings a lot. These are great strings. With proper EQ and reverb or chorus etc. they sound great.

I'm a professional musician i.e. (my light bill and the food that I eat are paid for via shows I play) I use these strings on my Godin A6 Ultra w/ the humbucker/pieso duel output guitar and they sound wonderful. A little pricy though...
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
I usually wear 9-42s on my electrics that I play more than the acoustics - in retrospect, largely because it's hard enough to find even 10s for acoustic. I'm a light-touch fingerpicker. These 9-42s sound good on two Epi A-E guitars and will now also go onto a 1970s first generation A-E Ovation Electric Legend.If you beat on the strings, they aren't much. It may take a bit different setup, especially if the guitar originally was setup for a wrapped G. There's a lot less tension than with heavier strings and the neck may react to that and give some fret buzz. It's wy they can be adjusted.Set up right, perfect for light, quick fingerpicking without the odd sound of silk 'n' steel either amplified or acoustic. They're probably more resistant to breakage, although I don't recommend pounding a flat pick on 'em.As I said, I'm buying more, and for electric I prefer Elixir 9-42. But they apparently do not plan to add a lighter acoustic set. I s'pose I could buy individual Elixirs but... these are quite nice.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
These strings, just don't die. I've used tons of other strings before. Mostly Ernie Ball. I can't say they're my favorite, since I like to use different strings to mix it up. I just need that different sound. These are one of my favorites. I've been trying to find more.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Acoustic Electric Lite (9-42):
I just put a set on my Ibenez and I love them.The tone is incredible with a nice bright treble.The extreme flexibility is amazing.You won't be disappointed.

Boeing Marks Production Goal on First 787 With No Modifications
June 7 (Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co. produced its first 787 Dreamliner able to leave the factory for flight testing without going through a modification center, a pivotal step toward meeting future output goals.
Work on the 66th Dreamliner to be assembled will be finished outside the plant in a few days before it moves to preflight operations, said Scott Lefeber, a spokesman. Boeing now has 50 Dreamliners in or waiting to enter a modification center near its factory in Everett, Washington.
Boeing is pushing to boost production after falling more than three years behind schedule with engineering and supplier snags on the first all-composite jetliner. Air India Ltd. is due to get its first 787 soon after agreeing with Boeing on compensation, India Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said yesterday.
Assembling a 787 that bypasses the modification center "signals that you're beyond the period of rework, which is so costly and has caused so many delays," Carter Copeland, an analyst at Barclays Plc, said in a telephone interview. "They should have higher confidence to be able to ramp production."
Boeing plans to produce five planes a month by the end of 2012 and 10 by the end of next year, up from 3.5 now. Speedier production and deliveries would help the company shrink a backlog of 843 unfilled orders for the 787, which lists for as much as $227.8 million. Airlines typically buy at a discount.
Final Work
Lefeber didn't provide details of what final work is needed on Plane No. 66, which he said left the factory on June 4, or on when Boeing will produce a 787 able to go directly from the plant to the flight line.
Boeing rose 2.1 percent to $69.02 yesterday at the close in New York. The shares have fallen 5.9 percent this year, as the Standard & Poor's 500 index has gained 4.6 percent. Copeland rates the stock as overweight.
Since last year, Boeing has delivered 11 Dreamliners. Seven have gone to All Nippon Airways Co. and Japan Airlines Corp. has received four. The twin-engine 787 is designed to increase Boeing's lead in the wide-body market over Airbus SAS, a unit of European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co.
Air India has been public with its demands for compensation for delays on its order for 27 Dreamliners. India's Civil Aviation Ministry said in March that Boeing had agreed to pay $500 million in compensation, after demands for $840 million.
Boeing disputed the Indian government's account at the time, and has declined to discuss any negotiations with Air India.

Lyndee: As a mother, you learn to balance
Balance is important.
I haven't missed a basketball game that our sons played from day 1, beginning with the training.
I haven't missed family vacations because I prioritized. And that's something as a mother you learn to do too.
Because my husband works in there with me, we have to have a balance check every once in a while that business isn't a 24-hour-a-day conversation between us.
Not too long ago, we had that thing where at night, the last thing I said to him was something about work. And the first thing he said to me the next morning was about work.
We decided that doesn't work very well.
Maybe it means late-night walks because that's the only time that we actually are connected and not distracted by something.
I think if you're passionate about your job, whether it's a State Farm agent or any job; I think if you're passionate about it, you can get lost in it. And you have to remember what's the most important thing to you.
Family is the most important thing to me.
This story is just one of many unique, personal perspectives on being a State Farm® agent.

Unfortunately, Creole C., Jindal won't have to resign as Governor to run for Vice President. Not that it matters too much -- he's been spending most of his time pursuing his personal ambitions, pausing in our state for just long enough to cause harm to state workers, or teachers, or anyone else IF he thinks that doing so will enhance his national standing. What's really amazing is that so far, Republicans from other states haven't figured out that the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes -- his "Louisiana miracle" is nothing more than skillful press manipulation. Which, of course, has always been Jindal's M.O. And now, with all of our state's financial troubles, we're going to spend a million dollars or so defending these new restrictions on abortion. And why are we doing this? Is it because Jindal is dedicated to the sanctity of life for unborn children? Hardly -- Louisiana is going to spend this money because enacting these patently unconstitutional restictions helps Jindal with the national Republicans.
For Heebe, one goal is to show that Letten knew that Perricone was making the comments at the time the comments were posted, but that Letten took no action to stop it. I usually wouldn't repeat a rumor, however I've now heard from three independent sources that a certain grey-haired former AUSA reported Perricone's activities directly to Letten in a face-to-face conversation. Now, it's one thing if an AUSA is "going rogue" (although I'm not sure it makes any difference in the outcome -- to the extent relief is available based upon a Rule 6(e) violation I wonder if it matters whether the violator is one AUSA acting out of school, or an AUSA operating with the knowledge of the boss. . . although in the latter case, I think it would become very difficult for the boss to stay on as U.S. Attorney.
The conduct of the ship's crew was appalling and likely criminal. Let's not be so quick to criticize the passengers -- actions such as grabbing emergency beacons from lifeboats and throwing them overboard may seem obvious now, but how certain were these passengers that they were seeing other sailors in distress? Those of you who have been out to sea know that it may be difficult to identify objects bobbing on the waves a great distance away.
How interesting -- obviously it was a very busy week for Mr. Letten, who simply didn't have a free moment to release this information to the media until 5 p.m. on a Friday afternoon (traditionally the best time to release bad news to the media). Do you suppose the decision wasn't made until right before 5 p.m. on Friday? And while ordinarily one of the more dangerous places to be in New Orleans is between Jim Letten and a news camera, today Letten's office just hands out a press release and doesn't appear on camera -- I guess he had somewhere to be, and therefore couldn't be available to answer questions. . .
And six weeks have now elapsed since it was disclosed that a member of his staff was improperly releasing information and making inappropriate comments about persons who haven't been charged with a crime, and the only outrage expressed by Letten was that Heebe's lawyers also (apparently) incorrectly accused Jim Mann of being involved in the postings -- I suppose we shouldn't waste our time waiting for the United States Attorney to apologize to the citizens whose rights were violated here.
It is astonishing that the governor and his staff consider Louisiana's citizens to be such gullible fools who will accept any statement, no matter how ridiculous. Let's see -- the governor and his cronies wrote the bill. It isn't that the draft legislation was silent about whether the governor would have to suffer along with every other state worker -- the bill specifically exempted the governor from the increases that every other state worker has to suffer. But now that the press has caught this and reported that the governor's claims of a pension emergency don't include his own pension, Jindal's staff says "well, of course we're going to include the governor in the bill, just like everybody else." How stupid do they think we are? If the plan was to include the governor, then why did the bill EXCLUDE the governor? Why would they draft a bill that included anything but the final language on this point -- it's not like there is some group of legislators who would oppose the bill unless it exempts Jindal, forcing them to wait and amend later in the process. If Louisiana's citizens will buy this, then Jindal's people can stop worrying (and indeed they probably have already) -- he can do what he wants, go elsewhere in the country and claim to have engineered a "Louisiana miracle" while we sit home and suffer, and be confident that he'll never be found out. Again -- how stupid do they think we are???
Wow -- nothing like a Black man getting elected President to bring out all the Crazies! It's shameful that Mr. Shedler is misusing his office in this manner. He admits that this issue is outside the scope of his authority, and yet he attempts to keep the matter alive through a nonsense request for an A.G.'s opinion. Tell you what, Mr. "Smoking Gun" (one does wonder what it is that you're smoking, by the way) -- file your lawsuit in federal court, subject to Rule 11 sanctions if you're so confident in your position. But we all know that you won't. . .because you know, in your brief moments of sanity which hopefully interrupt your foolish blather, that this is just a bunch of racist nonsense that you're spouting. Why else would you write an essay on your President's race? And yes -- he is YOUR President, just as he is mine. And I absolutely love the fact that there's not a thing you can do about it!
Hillary Clinton didn't make this political -- an American citizen has been missing since the 1930's, and a substantial private effort has been mounted to find her remains (poor Fred -- everybody forgets about him. . .). What would satisfy you Clinton-bashers -- if Hillary said "I hope you fail" or "What a waste of time!"? Get a life!
W O W ! ! I think it is wishful thinking for Letten to believe that this episode won't have any effect on pending cases. Aside from that, this demonstrates the danger of assuming that those entrusted with representing the government are above reproach. And the defendants, lawyers, judges, and persons under investigation who were subjected to the running commentary from the heart of the U.S. Attorney's office should wonder where Mr. Letten's to them apology was -- does he intend to apologize to Heebe, Lemann, Berrigan, etc?.
Wow. . . it's rare that you see people so devoted to hateful positions that they want to assert those positions even when the issue isn't on the table! So let's see -- these nice folks are pulling their girls out of Scouting because of something that (a) happened across the country; and (b) by the policy of the Louisiana organization, couldn't happen here. What a wonderful lesson they've taught their children. Look, I don't know anything about transgendered people, but I have to figure if a kid young enough to be in Scouting is committed enough to living as a girl there's something serious going on -- and teaching our kids to hate won't ever be the answer.
Mr. Mencken -- Anyone who has had professional experiences with some (most, but not all) of the folks in the office of the EDLA U.S. Attorney would initially be surprised by your comments -- until you thoughtfully provided the reference point that you admire John Volz. You're right in one respect -- it appears that the standards Mr. Volz set are still alive and well. Unfortunately, those standards aren't consistent with fair play and professional conduct. As a few small, but important examples -- the intentionally inappropriate rebuttal arguments of a particular prematurely grey-haired prosecutor from that office; the fun game of hide-the-ball discovery; the artful drafting of Title III applications to remove important but contrary information -- yes, you may wall have been around town for many years, but you've not had to represent many criminal defendants with those folks as your opponent. If you had, your opinion would be based upon something other than inexplicable admiration for Mr. Volz, such as actual litigation experiences.
I don't have any problem at all with Noble Ellington. He's a dedicated public servant. I do think that we should consider changing that part of the state retirement system which sets the employee's lifetime pension benefits based upon the highest two years' pay that employee received. Again, I don't fault Ellington for doing precisely what the rules allow, but like many legislators before him he's going to take a high-paying job in the Executive Branch of our government, and no one will be surprised if he chooses to retire after two years in that position. The increase in the employee's pension can be impressive -- hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the retiree. Instead, the state should simply calculate the employee's retirement benefits so that they fairly reflect that employee's total career -- base the benefits on the weighted average of his pay. Again, I don't mean to suggest that Ellington is doing anything illegal or even improper or immoral here, but the fact is that this is an opportunity open only to those in positions of power -- as you might imagine, the average state employee who works his/her butt off for a lifetime doesn't get to move into a high-paying executive position for the final two years of the career, and thereby double or triple that monthly pension for the rest of their life.
While criminal prosecution isn't part of the Mayor's job (the District Attorney doesn't answer to the Mayor) it would be nice if Landrieu suggested to Cannizzaro that his office stop bringing flimsy cases to trial. The police had the hospitalized victim identify the defendant from a photo lineup? Wow -- since the victim knew the accused shooters "most of his life" it isn't too surprising that he could pick their photos out of a lineup! Also, it sounds like the Assistant DA handling the prosecution swerved dangerously close to a mistrial in his argument -- every prosecutor knows that since the burden of proof is on the state, it isn't proper to "take a dig at (defense counsel) for failing to call a single witness who could provider her client with an alibi on the night of the shooting."
If you want to start solving the crime problem in New Orleans, elect a District Attorney who will focus on bringing legitimate charges that he can win, instead of spending the public's resources defending discovery abuses and wasting people's time with charges like this.
Wow -- I do feel sorry for these folks, many of whom were elderly and perhaps more easily taken advantage of. But a consistent ingredient in every one of these scams, whether Madoff or Stanford, is the greed of the investor -- otherwise intelligent folks in many cases who just can't resist the chance to get a return well above market rates. No scammer could ever succeed without the willing participation of investors whose greed overcomes their common sense. I have to wonder why this Republican is suddenly in favor of a government bailout, when he's voted in lockstep with his party's leadership against every single initiative proposed by President Obama. Of course, we can't forget that Cassidy was elected through the worst kind of racial manipulation -- there are photos of him meeting with State Rep. Michael Jackson, an African-American who entered the general election as an Independent with the backing of Cassidy and his supporters, for the sole purpose of preventing the re-election of Democrat Don Cazayoux (who is a fine fellow, by the way -- he's now the United States Attorney for the Middle District and by all accounts is doing a good and honest job).
Yeah, you guys are right. After all, it's so much more important for our Republican congressmen to be faithful to the pledge they made to Grover Norquist than it is for us to continue to expand our knowledge about the universe. Heaven forbid that some billionaire might have to forego the surround sound on his private jet. . .
Scene at the Attorney General's office: "Wow! OK then, time to get started with this investigation. Let's see. . . of course, we'll go after the easier cases first. Do we have anyone who has confessed? Oh, look -- it's that guy Cannizaro! Jane, type up this Bill of Information for State of Louisiana versus Leon Cannizaro -- I'm sure that since Cannizaro is "Shocked! Shocked!' at this criminal conduct, he'll be the first to plead guilty and take his medicine."
Perhaps van Heerden can get his own cooking or gardening show -- I'm sure he claims to be an "expert" in those areas too, unburdened as he is by traditional requirements that a person be qualified by education or experience in a field before being considered as an expert. He was irrelevant before, and now he's going to end his career with this quixotic attempt to have LSU pay money it clearly doesn't owe. Bye bye, Ivar. . .
No -- he was a state District Court judge, then a judge on the state Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit. Of course, federal judges have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and with his 2005 censure by the Louisiana Supreme Court for ethical misconduct while on the bench one never knows whether Senate confirmation would have been possible for him . . .
What these officers did was criminal and indefensible. And I'm never shy about criticizing the NOPD. But a post that refers to all police officers as "pigs" and is written by someone with the cute screen name of "DiePigsDie" should not be displayed here.
Shame on those of you who think it is appropriate to post such negative comments -- "POS should have died in prison" or wishing Edwards "despair and tragedy." Are your own small, anonymous, unnoticed lives so empty that you have nothing better to do than to spend your hours, with only your cat for company, scouring the TP website in the hope that you'll find another article about Edwin Edwards so you can spew this nonsense? Here's a news flash for you: you obviously care about Mr. Edwards much more than he'll ever care about you -- and despite your ill wishes, you'll have to get up again tomorrow and realize that at 84 years old, what lies ahead for him is far more interesting and important than anything you've ever done or will ever do. Please do everyone a favor and keep your silly comments to yourselves; no person deserves slurs like that on the occasion of his marriage.
Stephanie -- it is very lazy journalism for you to conclusively determine that no injustice was done in Mr. Edwards' trial without at least looking at the facts, as set forth in Leo Honeycutt's book and elsewhere. No one who saw the holdout juror dismissed during deliberations could feel comfortable about the verdict that resulted. Did you know that the Edwards trial marked the first time in more than 30 years that a criminal case was not randomly allotted among the judges in the Middle District of Louisiana, but instead was assigned to one judge in particular? It's perfectly fine for each of us to have an opinion, but if expressing your opinions in your professional calling, perhaps you might try and be a bit more informed before you write next time?
